  • The Knee Strike
    Kinematics Analysis of Muay Thai Knee Techniques Rachnavy P. 1, Khaothin T. 1, Rittiwat W. 2 1 School of Sports Science, Suranaree University of Technology (Thailand) 2 School of Sports Science, Srinakharinthara Wiroj University (Thailand) Purpose: The Knee Strike (This technique is done by raising the knee diagonally to the thigh, rib and side of the body of an opponent.) and Knee Straight (This technique is done by raising the knee straightly to the body of an opponent.) techniques are commonly used in Muay Thai. It is effective for close quarters combat. This paper was to compare knee Strikes and knee straight velocity in Muay Thai. Methods: Five professional boxers performed five knee strikes and five knee straights technique to Muay Thai punching bag. Three-dimensional kinematics of knee Strikes and knee straight technique were recorded via a motion capturing system (Qualisys Systems, Sweden). Results: After data collection, velocities of knee technique were analyses. The t-test was used to compare the means between two techniques. In comparing the knee strike and knee straight techniques, there were significant differences in knee velocity (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the mean values of knee straight velocity (mean 15.15 ± 4.60 m/s) were higher than knee Strike velocity (mean 6.01 ± 1.47 m/s). Conclusions: This study found that velocity of knee straight is higher than velocity of knee strike. It is possible that knee straight technique generated more power than knee strike technique. This finding suggests that choosing the right techniques will help boxer to win a fight.

  • Kicking Techniques”
    To AJKA-International AJKA-I of PA Instructor Trainee’s Report #17 Subject: “Kicking Techniques” To AJKA-International AJKA-I of PA Instructor’s Trainee Report #17 Subject: “Kicking Techniques” In Karate we train to make our feet/legs as equally a weapon as our hands. In no other sport are feet training as rigorously – this is a unique feature of karate.1 Since we do not use our feet in a large variety of ways as we do our hands they must be forged into effective weapons. This is not an overnight task, but must be worked up over the karate- kas lifetime. Kicking techniques (geri) are very powerful and dynamic. This is due to (1) the relative size of the muscles in the legs as compared with those in other parts of the body, and (2) the superior ability of the gluteus muscles to connect the hips’ movement to the leg’s technique as compared with other muscles of the body. However, muscles must be made strong for kicks. One very important principal is that strength is more important than flexibility when delivering an effective kick. In addition to possessing this greater relative power, kicking techniques also have the potential to deliver that power over a longer distance since the legs are the longest of the body’s limbs. However, kicking leaves the karate-ka vulnerable because they are standing on one leg (sagi ashi dashi – one leg stance). All karate techniques are generated by a moving hip and kicking techniques are no exception. The body action which generates this hip movement during the execution of a kick, when the axis of rotation is horizontal, is known as a pendulum movement.
