1. What Is the KKB Teep Wall Drill?
This drill uses a wall to teach the most important teep habits:
- ๐งฑ Correct line: knee, foot, and hips drive straight forward (no sideways swing)
- โ๏ธ Balance: your weight stays controlled on the standing leg
- ๐ก๏ธ Guard discipline: hands stay up while the leg is moving
- ๐ Recovery: the teep returns fast to stance (no falling forward)
Think of it like โteep mechanics trainingโ โ clean technique first, then power. ๐ฅ
2. Why This Drill Works (Key Benefits)
- โ Builds a straight teep that actually controls range
- โ Fixes balance issues (no hopping, no leaning)
- โ Trains the guard to stay up under movement
- โ Improves hip drive without over-rotating
- โ Makes your teep faster to reload and repeat
Best part: you can do it at home with zero equipment. ๐
3. Setup: How to Position Your Body
Set up correctly or the drill becomes useless. Hereโs the clean KKB setup:
- ๐ Stand about one foot-length away from the wall
- ๐ฆถ Fighting stance: feet shoulder-width, knees soft
- ๐ก๏ธ Hands high guard (elbows close)
- ๐ Eyes forward, chin tucked
- โ๏ธ Weight: slightly more on the back leg, ready to lift knee
Simple check: When you lift the knee, you should NOT touch the wall with your knee. Only the foot contacts the wall. โ
4. Technique Checklist (Perfect Teep Line)
Use this checklist every rep ๐ง :
- 1) Knee lift: lift straight up (not out to the side)
- 2) Posture: tall spine, no leaning back like a banana ๐
- 3) Guard: hands stay up, shoulders relaxed
- 4) Extend: push the wall with the ball of the foot or sole (controlled)
- 5) Hip: small hip drive forward (not huge over-rotation)
- 6) Return: retract fast and land back in stance
KKB rule: The teep is not only a kick โ itโs a โrange control weapon.โ ๐ฆถ๐ฏ
5. Beginner Drill (Control & Balance)
This version is perfect if youโre learning or rebuilding your teep form.
Beginner Steps โ

Reps: 3 sets ร 10 reps each leg
Rest: 30โ45 seconds between sets
If you lose balance: slow down, reset, and protect your guard. ๐ก๏ธ
6. Progressions (Power, Speed, Double Teep)
A) Power Line Teep ๐ฅ
- Push harder into the wall (still controlled)
- Keep posture tall and guard tight
- Reps: 4 sets ร 8 reps each leg
B) Speed Teep โก

D) Switch Teep (Advanced) ๐งจ

7. Timing & Guard Discipline (KKB Style)
The wall is not only for balance โ it teaches timing habits too. โฑ๏ธ
- ๐ก๏ธ Hands stay up BEFORE the knee lifts
- ๐ Add a jab feint: feint jab โ teep (same rhythm)
- โฉ๏ธ Exit after teep: land stance + small angle step
- ๐ฎโ๐จ Breathe: exhale on extension, inhale on reset
Secret sauce: treat every teep like you could get countered. Guard discipline is what makes the teep safe.
8. Common Mistakes (Fixes)
- โ Leaning back too much โ โ keep ribs stacked over hips
- โ Knee swings outward โ โ lift knee straight up
- โ Hands drop โ โ guard stays up for every rep ๐ก๏ธ
- โ Foot slaps the wall โ โ controlled contact, then snap back
- โ Landing heavy โ โ land light, return to stance clean
- โ Standing too close โ โ step back so only the foot reaches the wall

11. FAQ โ
How many reps should I do for the teep wall drill?
Start with 3 sets ร 10 reps per leg. When form is clean, increase intensity or add speed rounds.
What part of the foot should touch the wall?
Most athletes use the ball of the foot for a sharp push. The sole can also be used for controlled range work.
Can I do the teep wall drill every day?
Yes. Itโs low-impact and technique-based. Daily practice improves balance and guard discipline fast.
Why do I lose balance when I teep?
Usually itโs from leaning back, standing too close, or swinging the knee outward. Slow the drill down and keep posture stacked.
Does this drill help prevent counters?
Yes โ because it forces guard discipline and fast recovery, which reduces openings after the teep.
