Muay Thai How to Throw a Straight Knee

The straight knee or front knee is a common knee strike in Muay Thai, and involves thrusting the front of the knee into the head or body of an opponent. The straight knee is applied from a standup position both when the combatants are separated, or when they are clinching. In this particular video I am demonstrating how to throw a straight knee without the clinch. Key points to remember: 1. Stand tall on your support leg. 2. Same side arm as knee should swing downwards.
