Creak—
The chain and bracket let out an ear-piercing scrape.
The 400-kilogram sandbag hanging in mid-air swung back and forth like a pendulum.
Fang Cheng extended both fists and took the most classic Tiger Crotch Step stance in Muay Thai.
With a shout, he drove his hips forward, exerted force, whipped his arm and twisted his body, stepped diagonally upward, and kicked out hard.
Then he quickly pulled his leg back.
What he was practicing at that moment was Muay Thai's signature leg technique, the Sweeping Kick.
With this stance, the center of gravity was relatively high and slightly biased toward the rear leg.
It helped increase the power of the kick and made it easier to block with the front knee, while keeping both hands apart also helped maintain balance during the Sweeping Kick.
The sandbag before him was the largest in the entire venue, specifically used for practicing heavy leg techniques.
For now, it looked like its quality was excellent. Coupled with the properties of its internal filling, there was no need to worry about kicking it apart.
Although Muay Thai gave people a "savage" impression, many of its combat techniques did indeed have their own unique strengths.
For example, the Sweeping Kick was extremely powerful and was often used in competitions to KO opponents.
Even if the opponent blocked it, it could still inflict damage.

The Sanda Whip Kick emphasized "waist and stance as one," with the motion completed in one seamless breath.
Its exertion of force was brief and explosive, cracking crisply like a "soft whip" when released.
The Muay Thai Sweeping Kick, on the other hand, placed more emphasis on using the rotation of the body's core to drive the legs
