High kicks can be classified as a push. It is an unexpected kick, and Thai boxers are usually struggle to defend against it (the only possible defense is footwork).
Right push kick can be done with the leg moving upwards from the left or from the right. From the fighting stance, bodyweight is transferred to the front left leg. Right leg, slightly bent at the knee, is drawn up slightly to the right or to the left from central axis.
When reached maximum high position, the left moves down, unbending at the knee. Thus, the move is both kick up-downwards and push forward. The kick is done with the heel or with the foot, targeting the head, the collar bone or the upper chest.
Left push kick is done after moving bodyweight to the right leg. After that, the technique is similar to the left push kick.
