5 Fundamental Techniques Every Beginner Must Know
Beginners should first learn stance, footwork, the jab-cross, the round kick, the teep, and basic defence. These skills create balance, distance control, and safe movement before harder combinations are added.
- Stance and guard: stay balanced, protected, and ready to move.
- Footwork: step with control so technique starts from a stable base.
- Straight punches: learn to connect the jab and cross without losing posture.
- Round kick: rotate through the hip and return to stance with control.
- Teep and defence: manage distance and respond without rushing.
