With KB we have taken our drilling mainly from karate and boxing.
Thai boxing takes training methods from Muay Thai, a different MA.
This involves the use of the knee, and training on the Thai pads.
In the kb we play the Thai knee phase.
In Thai, there is knee sparring where you tie up and fight with just knees, which is an important phase of Thai and a great skill in itself. If the opponent goes to the floor in knee spar, in Thai you break.
In MMA, VT or Street, you would follow in with a strike - a drop knee or kick.
The Thai "throw" is called a "thum" and is a very effective throw for VT or the street.
