One-to-One – Unarmed

Front Kick: Long Range
Situation Five: Your assailant throws
a front kick at your body.
1) Sidestep to your left and deflect the
kick with a right lower parry.
(Fig. 122)
2) Throw a deep left roundhouse kick
(a cutting kick) to his thigh, cutting
his leg out from under him.*
(Fig. 123)
3) Throw a right roundhouse kick to
Fig 122 his face. (Fig. 124)

*The cutting kick is one of the
specialities of Thai boxing. It is thrown
at the standing leg when your
opponent has attempted to kick you
and all his weight is borne by the
support leg. It both ‘cuts out’ the
support leg and damages it in the
process.
