COUNTER TO TEEP WITH CATCH-SWEEP

จับถีบและโยน

When the opponent teeps you, catch the foot with your lead hand, step to the side, and sweep the standing leg with your own kick. The sweep ends with the opponent on the canvas — embarrassing for them and a highlight-reel moment for you. Saenchai is famous for making this counter look effortless. The key is fast hands and quick lateral footwork.
