Execution. Bodyweight is moved to the left leg, the hip and right shoulder rapidly turn to the left thanks to the rotation of the rear leg (that is straightened and rotates on its ball). Then right thigh is rapidly drawn forward in a circle trajectory; the moment right part of the torso reaches the central axis, the leg rapidly unbends at the knee, the foot travels to the target in a circle trajectory, targeting the head or the body of the opponent.

In this kick, the leg should not be bent at the knee, which means that hips are turning together with the thigh, united in their movement. Left elbow or palm are covering the head from the punch, right shoulder is turned inwards, right arm is moved behind the back along the torso.

Note. One of the round kick types kick is a diagonal kick. The kick follows a circle trajectory, pointed at approximately 45 degrees to the floor. It targets the forearm or the head.

High kicks main mistakes:

Foot is not turned on its ball;

The ball of the striking leg is not expanded;

No hand cover;

The hip goes “behind” the thigh, and does not turn together with it.


Depending on the tactical tasks and the situation in the fight, high kicks can be used in the attack, preventive attack or counter-attack.

When used in the attack, high kicks can be done as a stand-alone kick or part of the series. For instance, they are often used together with straight punches.

When used in a counter-attack, the boxer throws high kick immediately after the defense against the opponent’s kick. Usually, Thai boxer answers to a kick with a counter kick.

Right high kick can be done after step with the left foot to the left or forward-left. Similarly, left high kick can be done after right foot step to the right or forward-right.

These moves are mainly used against the attacking opponent. Moving to the right or to the left, the boxer gets away from the opponent’s attack and throws a counter high kick.


Defense against high kicks:

Calf cover-up;

Shoulder, forearm or glove cover-up against head high kicks;

Elbow cover-up against high body kicks;

Pulling back;

Jump back;

Leg push stop;

Step back with leg moving backwards. When defending against right high kick, back foot makes a step back while right hand parries the kicking leg from left to right.
