The teep is one of the most important weapons in Muay Thai.
Used correctly, it can control distance, disrupt rhythm, score points, create openings and completely dictate the pace of a fight. Used incorrectly, it can leave you off-balance, predictable and vulnerable to counters.

This video focuses on:
🥊 Common technical teep mistakes
🥊 Distance and timing errors
🥊 Balance and posture corrections
🥊 Using the teep effectively in sparring and competition
Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your fundamentals, experienced fighter wanting to sharpen your Muay Thai or coach seeking to learn fight tested systems, these simple adjustments can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your teep.
