| What the name says | The three-pit step |
| What it points at | three pits in the ground |
| What it does | The footwork the southern school teaches first: a triangle, never a line. |
What it is
Chaiya's first lesson, and the one thing on its list of seven that is not a strike at all.
The long version
Three points on the ground, and the fighter moves between them rather than forward and back. Khum is a pit or a hollow; the name is the ground, not the feet.
Inference — a school that opens with footwork is a school that expects to be outnumbered or outreached. Chaiya's reputation is defence, and it starts here.
Connected to

Named here by
- Muay Chaiya What it teaches first.
- Khet Sriyaphai The step he traced.
