Перевод: diagonal knee
Khao Chiang (เข่าเฉียง), the diagonal knee, is a traditional Muay Thai technique whose Thai name translates literally to 'slanting knee.' [1] Kraitus and Rennehan describe it as one of the fundamental khao (knee) weapons in the Muay Thai arsenal, used primarily from the clinch to attack the opponent's floating ribs at a diagonal angle. [1] Delp documents Khao Chiang as a technique developed through generations of Thai stadium fighters who refined the precise 45-degree angle to maximise impact on the ribcage while maintaining clinch control. [2] The technique gained international prominence as Muay Thai spread globally in the 1970s-1990s. [2]

No, the khao chiang is a long-range knee strike that doesn't require grabbing. Thai Boxing Online emphasizes that you simply step forward and deliver the angled knee while maintaining your stance.
You should bend your leg as much as possible to prevent your opponent from catching and holding your leg. Thai Boxing Online stresses this bending is critical for keeping your leg safe from being controlled.
Step forward with the opposite leg of the knee you're striking with—if throwing a right knee, step with your left leg forward, then bring the knee back to your stance. Practice both sides alternating to develop balance.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Not rotating the hip to create the diagonal angle — it becomes a standard straight knee / Hitting the elbow or forearm because the angle was not sharp enough to go around the guard / Not pulling the opponent's head to the opposite side — the head pull opens the target area / Losing clinch control during the rotational setup.
