Outside Scoop with Three Follow-ups

When an opponent delivers a teep kick, the defender scoops it from the outside and drops the opponent's leg. Three follow-up strikes are then available: a kick to the IT band on the outside of the leg, a strike to the calf head, or a cupped knee to the outside of the leg. Control is emphasized to avoid injury during partner drilling.

Inside Scoop with Immediate Check

The inside scoop requires an immediate check by the defending hand to prevent the opponent from grabbing the defender's neck. Three target variations follow the scoop: a knee strike to the body, a knee to the thigh, or a jumping knee to the head. The check is maintained throughout to keep the opponent controlled.

Outside and Inside Shelf Sweep

From the shelf position, the defender catches the teep and manipulates the opponent off-balance until they begin hopping. The sweep is initiated while the opponent is airborne, removing the leg support and completing the takedown. Both outside and inside variations are executed with the same timing principle.

Zone Evasion Techniques

Three evasion methods are demonstrated against the teep: straight zoning backward, angling to the right side with a triangle step, and angling to the left side with a quarter-turn footwork. A shuffle step provides a basic distance-management option. These movements allow the defender to escape range while maintaining a defensive posture.

Cup Knee Counter

The defender angles inward and delivers a cupped knee strike to the outside of the opponent's leg while the teep kick is extended. Proper control of force is essential during this exchange to prevent injury to the training partner.

Catch and Sweep with Hand Positioning

The defender catches the teep with the left hand on the bottom and right hand on top, securing the kick at the hip. An immediate check prevents the opponent from reaching the defender's neck, while the opponent is manipulated until they hop. A sweep during the airborne phase completes the takedown.

Catch with Right Hand Bottom and Brick Check

When catching with the right hand on the bottom, the defender brings the leg to their right hip while the brick check (trapping hand) prevents the opponent from grabbing the neck. The opponent is forced to hop before being swept to the ground.

Upward Elbow Follow-up After Catch

After catching and securing the kick, the defender pulls the opponent off-balance and forward, then delivers an upward elbow strike up the center of the opponent's guard. This transition exploits the opponent's compromised position following the catch.

Knee Strike Follow-up After Catch

Following the catch with the right hand bottom, the defender pulls the opponent off-balance and delivers a knee strike to either the body or head depending on how far forward the opponent falls. The height of the opponent determines the target selection.

Clockwise Leg Whip and Takedown

With the left hand on the bottom of the caught kick, the defender draws a clockwise circular motion with the opponent's leg while stepping back, whipping the leg and throwing the opponent to the ground. This rotational movement generates force for the takedown.

Spinning Back Elbow After Catch

From the catch position with the left hand on bottom, the defender brings the leg to their left hip. As the opponent falls forward, the defender cross-steps and delivers a spinning back elbow. This combination chains the catch directly into a striking finish.

Application and Training Context

All techniques demonstrated can be applied to both lead and rear leg teeps and integrated into combination drills. These counters work effectively on heavy bags, Thai pads, and in shadow boxing, offering numerous possibilities for offensive or defensive responses.
