I have had different experience with the Teep, for me if I hit them when they are also kicking (or any time they have a foot off the ground) I try to get them near the hip/waist in order to knock them down. I suspect the one legged thing has something to do with it, shrinking their base down.
What about it? It's the same motion, just aimed at the thigh. Good for stopping someone advancing but not for more. In self defense, I'd suggest you teep the knee joint. It's completely in the realm of possibilities that you rupture a ligament if you hit it from an angle. The knee joint is extremely durable for squatting motions but also extremely tender to forces that twist its ligaments.
georgi krastev I agree, but when facing taller opponent, and there expecting traditional leg kicks, and they try to check them traditionally, by raising knee it's literally impossible not to hit knee in training unfortunately.
This video is focusing on attacking teeps, but the lead hip and thighs are great for defensive off balancing an attacking opponent. Thanks for the comment.
Can’t get enough of your videos, thank you. Could you do a video of teeping an opponent as they were launching lead and and rear leg kicks?

so you kick out the base hip?
awesome guide
Hi from france, very good job guys.. what about the (lead or rear) teep to the leg ? more often used in self defence context...

Great video, but what about the lead hip and thigh (targets) to disrupt, off-balance, or turn your opponent?
