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. References Trial, W., & Wu, T. (2013). A Kinematic Analysis of the Thai Boxing Clinch.

    Comments Received Australian Institute of Sport ‘Recently, scientists at the Australian Institute of Sport quantified the reliability of the StrikeMate for measuring maximal punching power in athletes. Their findings help coaches and athletes interpret the results of testing using the StrikeMate. Their assessments showed that if an athlete’s punching power improves by more than 1.8% over time, they can be confident that their training has lead to positive change in performance, not simply random variation’ Clare Humberstone PhD BSc (Hons) Senior Sport Physiologist Australian Sports Commission http://www.ausport.gov.au/ Richard Vince (richardvince.com) 8th Dan Black Belt. ‘We purchased a 'StrikeMate' to use to draw people to our stand when we attend Martial/fighting Arts shows, tournaments, conventions etc. Whenever we have set up the 'StrikeMate' and encouraged a few people to start the ball rolling, we have been inundated with individuals eager to test their power on the device. So far (after approximately 100 weeks of regular use) it has shown itself to be reliable, accurate and durable. As you would expect, the goal of some Martial Artists has been to endeavour to break the machine. The device has, so far, shown no sign of yielding to this onslaught. The readings are clear and simple and the results seem consistent. It is a great piece of equipment; we also use it with our students at our Academy as a retention tool. Each student may attempt to increase their power each month if they so choose’. With respect Richard Vince Master Vince started his career in Martial Arts in 1979 at Ipswich Martial Arts Centre.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011) Martial arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development. The term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the "Arts of Mars," the Roman god of war.[1] Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.
