this Muay Boran secret kick is the signature
technique of Muay Thasao and it is called Naka Sabat Hang which means "The Naka Flickers Its Tail" but why is it secret? This is because Muay Thasao is very jealous of their techniques Pure Thasao style is basically extinct but the
Thasao lineage goes on thanks to the branch Muay Thasao Phraya Pichaii which consists of
a mix of Muay Thasao and Chinese martial arts it is the style of the Thai hero Praya Pichai Daab Hak this is why it is jealously treasured this technique is terrifying because it's fast
and really hard to see since fighters are not in kicking range and the kick is unexpected also
because the kicking leg comes up from the side from outside the eyesight range in Muay Thasao
when you kick you should not swing your arms but what i like to do with this technique is to
extend one arm in front of the opponent's face to cover his vision and drag down his
guarding hand so let's see the full execution step diagonally to the outside while extending
the arm in front of the opponent face be sure to place the foot at 45 degrees this is key
to keep the knee safe and to correctly land the kick if needed deflect a punch with
an outside parry step 2 raise the knee the diagonal step and the knee raise are one single
motion the rear foot pushes only once step 3 when the leg has almost reached the maximum height,
if needed, you can slightly bend the standing leg then pivot and crunch your body towards the
kicking leg while moving the arm across the body this full chain of movements will
add a powerful snap to the kick step 4 fully extend the knee and land
the kick contrary to the classic Muay Thai kick in this kick the leg is not
relaxed it is actively pulled forward you have to strike with this
area, the upper part of the shin step 5 after landing the strike re-chamber
the leg and go back in a balanced motion
