Jerome Le Banner - Repetitive roundhouse kicks

[TheCouzinz]

Muay thai

[Szederp]

When I see a footage like this, I feel as I have two options: 1. Get all the steroids and nutritions in the world. 2. Give the fuck up thai-boxing. Le Banner is a beast.

[chris80cent]

fuck. holdin those pads mustve suck when you hold for him! he prob kicks so hard.

[xboxsito]

arrecho el enano¡¡¡

[thomas744]

beast

[Fitorisama]

Sagat

[Inconitoo]

wtf? oO is it a monster?

[Teengenerate77]

Le banner's fucking scary.

[bobyard123]

is that a round house kick isnt that a side kick

[TheEbopallday]

This guy has tree trunk legs!

[Mechavrore]

Imagine you have a dissagreement in the elevator with this guy

[xmadsonx]

This is just a speed/stamina excercise, no one actually kicks like this in a real fight. If you notice, his guard go down all the time (any straight would KO him) and he also do small "jumps" in each kick (very easy to break his balance if he get hit while doing it)

[genx650]

uhm, machine leg anyone? I mean machine gun

[Gman6755]

I broke a rib just watching those kicks!!

[fightlover187]

he can play as Sagat in a future street fighter movie

[soloslave1985]

@ English turtle if you want to see who sagat was based on in real life look up Sakad

[xxxFLEAUxxx]

C'est un monstre ce Le Banner. Il aurait fait un malheur en MMA.

[hitmanheartify]

the holder must be pissing his pants..

[EnglishTurtle]

It's sagat in real life, holy shit! :D

[brazillianm0nk3y]

I agree w/ the fact that he needs to keep his hands up, and also just simply pivoting his standing foot would make those 3 to 5 kicks equivalent to one kick .

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@brazillianm0nk3y His rear hand is clearly up protecting his face. Yes his front hand comes down but thats a thai boxing technique to increase power. In Thai Boxing your taught to lean your upper body back when you kick to avoid punches so for thai boxing his technique is correct. Kicking someone with both hands up in your guard is an awkward way to kick.

[dsong2006]

hahah it would suck to be the guy holding the pad! talk about worst job in the whole entire world...

[yimmiytube]

poor little guy

[arikat1]

he's big but his technique is not the best. Check Rob Kaman's instructional videos

[NRPBrute]

@arikat1 And I suppose you could train him to be better or that you could do better. Ever heard of K1? I have. Funny how I have never heard of you.

[arikat1]

@NRPBrute His kicks are not perfect. There is power cause he's strong but the technique is not perfect. What is there to argue about? Compare the hip movement with another guy like rob kaman. OF course JLB is a legend of the sport...

[czarImperia]

@arikat1 yeah but JLB has always focused on boxing more, so its no surprise

[arikat1]

@czarImperia yes

[FoodCubes]

Damn he's massive.

[MutantFighter305]

ehhhª! patddas con gritas!que locos_! jhaja

[chumokwan]

Its really a gigant man. How tall is he?

[jdymes101101]

as big as he is, im suprised he didn't kick the guy across the room lol

[WallaceBea995]

I think I heard the bag scream lol

[megatron29]

hes huge! i would run if i got in a fight with him lol.

[MisterMalicious]

his right hand can drop to add torgue but the left arm should stay snug on his face bcuz in real life they would swing for heaven when they saw the kick

[dying4melody]

He looks like sagat from street fighter

[electronikita]

awesome coordination for some1 his size, i mean its a rarity.

[KrusevoSemir]

HULK LIVE

[Synorix]

that is fucken crazy

[aoepro]

trainer got balls to be holding pads for someone so much bigger than him

[mashhh]

@aoepro that's André Zeitoun. Bit of a legend in the world of Thai boxing these days himself. He's trained a shit load of top fighters :-)

[aoepro]

@mashhh

thanks for telling me =)!

[jajbee]

@aoepro Hell Yeah! that must be hurt so bad

[AnusMcFeggot]

@aoepro would you refuse if that giant asked you to hold the pads...? lol

[1ToNJaB]

is he 8 feet tall?

[politeasskicker]

1000 feet

[tiltedmoon101]

MY GOD HE IS A MONSTER!!! bet it would be fun as hell to spar with him

[JelloJames16]

I would run for my life if i saw him.

[maxbencher83]

tsong po...

[100yearsofjackiechan]

i didnt know he was that large

[Trinitysx]

that mother fucker is huge

[pad021]

He's 6' 3" / 190. 264 lbs / 119.6 kg

F'n Huge

[AussieBassist]

That guy is a rig!

[peterbf91]

that poor guy who is holding the pads must be shitin himself, i feel sorry for him.....NOT hahahahahahahahahaha

[mikell113]

aLL THOSE K1 GUYS ARE BIG AS SHIT

[peterbf91]

HULK SMASH ***

[TheTerrorUforgot]

LMFAO

[haxxor66]

damn monster :p

[alastive]

god, how tall is this guy!! Looks like a moving mountain

[makerchris]

ID STEP IN THE RING WITH HIM!!!!.......and id tap as soon as the first round started...

[AmigoTesticulo]

oh common, you can at least run about 10 seconds... that would be what I would do. :)

[ToraRain]

jeez that guy is huge...first thing i thought about when i saw him was "HULK ANGRY" lol

[ohgodforumragepwns]

jesus, its like wario except not fat >_>

[lamptomte]

HOLY SHIT look at the size of him O.0

[jraybay]

whoever steps in the ring with him has my respect. he looks like a fackin animal

[gentlemanmachine]

le banner just got his ass kicked this past weekend.

[jraybay]

lol really?. was the other guy even bigger? :P . I just thought he was good I've never seen this le banner guy before.

[felino850]

ohhh shit!!! I can't imagine how to block that

[prubaika]

oÔ what a beast

[czarImperia]

The hands need to swing like that for balance and better hip/body rotation.

[chefninniitalia]

@czarImperia you are right...but in a fight, it looks clear what move you are making, hence why taekwondo rules!!!!!

[bebathekid]

@czarImperia Who taught you that. That's not a true statement. Just need to train differently.

[MikeLitoris87]

@czarImperia Actually, the muscles used here to perform these motions most succesfully should be core. Your arms shouldnt flail, or else you leave yourself open to the head, neck, and most importantly chin. (Black belt Karate styles: Wushu, Shotokan/ And experienced in kickboxing and Thai Boxing)

[thecrazyoftheinsane]

@MikeLitoris87 because you obviously could beat lebanners ass... haha

[MuayThaiChannel]

@czarImperia +right shoulder covers the right side of the chin , left hand up to cover left

[Nekko77]

@czarImperia the hands need to be up in order to not get punched in the face

[GowbotFTW]

@czarImperia That's not entirely true. I never kick with my hands down. It's got nothing to do with balance or body rotation. It's just bad technique. With enough practice it's possible to still kick as hard, maintain the balance and still keep your arms up :) It takes a lot of time but it's definitely worth it! :o

[aaronharun]

@czarImperia ye buh his technique is not perfect his left hand is swinging too much and his rotation isnt too good.

[bebathekid]

@chogan1250 I agree. That's very basic.

[bozez1]

@chogan1250 I would like to see catch those kicks with your throat..try that on for size. As well as a extra small condom..should work well for you....keeeeyaahh!!

[TSMontana]

@chogan1250 Given that he is a heavyweight, that is very impressive. Plus the counter-rotation of the hands allows for max impact, balance, and recovery speed.

[novodttocs]

@chogan1250 its very hard to do, you have to keep the same power in each kick for most its to much...

[jdymes101101]

@chogan1250 then do a vid and post it

[toji]

that dude would kick my ass.

[KaratekaKid]

Don't get me wrong, LeBanner would kick my ass then teep it back in place. But I noticed Every kick in which his feet were shown pivoting (except the last one), were being pivoted on his heel...?

[czarImperia]

Just looks that way. In Western schools, you're taught to step out with that foot, prior to pivoting; that's why he looks kicking flat footed. Thais (like Yodsaenklai) do not generally step-out, but pivot right away (but they stand really, really high on the ball of the foot)

[KaratekaKid]

well, "the more you know" lol...

Thx for responding

[thecrazyoftheinsane]

@czarImperia which do you think is more powerful?

[bonesaw08]

if it wasn't for his suspect chin Le banner would be an alltime great

[angelidis87]

he still is an all time great u fool

[bonesaw08]

he not peter aerts or bonjasky by any means fuckface

[angelidis87]

lebanner ko'd peter and fuck bonjasky he is a paper champ! so get the fuck out of town

[bonesaw08]

peters beaten lebanner more times than he's beaten peter

[angelidis87]

yes i kno but hes still one of the greatest imo for sure

[bonesaw08]

yes he's still great. all i'm saying is he may have been the best had it not been for his questionable chin. No need to twist you panties man

[lefelinmalefique09]

Just one thing : he doesnt keep his guard when he's doing the kicks. But anyway, that's great. I would not like to pick a fight with this guy lol !! He look pretty strong!

[kingofchug]

idiots! jerome is considered one of the best thai fighters of ALL TIME! His MMA career wasn't anything spectacular but seriously . . . of ALL TIME!

[EDunbarS]

Notice how he drops his hands to try and get more power? Really bad habits. The power comes from the hips but this guy can't be bothered with loosening up the hip flexors (probably the most painful stretch in my book at least) and is wide open every time he throws a kick. Hands up man!!

[rensi25]

Pardon me, but that is the correct way of doing of doing the muay thai roundhouse kick. That form is taught to muay thai practitioners here in South East Asia

[ismakami]

i don´t like to fight with him

[irwinrar]

is that even a round house kick?

[stfuyougotktfo]

hes not that big lol 6'3 270 lbs.... the trainer is a midget hes like 5'5

[teonem]

this guy got spanked by mirko cro cop

[Raoh]

mirko got fucking arse raped in ufc.

[teonem]

lol shit happends

its cuz he never expected such a flexable kick from such a big fat dude ganzaga

plus ganzaga was wearing tricky shorts

that doesnt look like he cud even do such a kick without ripping em

plus im happy ganzaga won anyways

cuz hes a part of chute box

and chute box dont like cro cop

[crhh1989]

I have never seen anybody kick so fast for their size. Lebanner has amazing speed with everything. He's as fast as me and I'm about 100 pounds less. That's frightening!

[blehblah22]

Daymn !

He looks SHHUGE !

[DirectorManGuy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

size of him!

is he god?

[Raoh]

LMAO!

[YouNoo8]

OMFG wtf...he is soo big...

[darktim99]

jerome le banner is a legend

[lockplay]

this guy is So Sick

[RockitChief]

Destruction!

[ourlucidream]

verrrryyyyyyyyy nice!

[PD666]

notice how he twists the hips before impact. That is the key for kick power

[cucuruchol]

perfect

[delarmon]

a fuucin beast

[crazylebo12]

hahaha fuck his huge

[jujitsusmith]

fuck!! i think ive got a mean kick but i wouldnt like to go shin to shin with this animal! would defo have to find weak spot on him and hit it with everything! nice vid!

[crazylebo12]

hahaha good luck finding the weak spot im sure by the time u will be thinking about the weak spot u would be on da ground dead haha his a k1 fighter i like his fights there sik

[daz45]

Just one and you're in the hospital for a long time.

[pdddotcv1]

I would bang him out easy ... hehehe only jokin

[CN7039]

Pretty fast for a heavy weight.

[rawbulks]

I was gonna say the same...

[petecool]

oh my lord buddha! wtf??

[Ritualex]

When I saw the thumnail of this video, I thought i was looking at Sagat from street fighter.. wow that guy is huge.. he could kill you with one kick like that!

[GencAslan]

Jerome is big but not THAT big, he's 1.92. Its just that the other dude is very small, I think something like 1.65 or less

[shue3303]

What the hell, is that a real man or a character out of a video game?

[neurochris]

hahaha looks like the guy from streetfighter

[scottv]

Le BanNER! Dude's fuckin huge.

[BHT195]

Oh my shit. Im 6 foot 5, 300 pounds (not fat BTW) and that guy scared the shit outta me

[JuJuPopJelzon]

dude..ur 5300 pounds?? so ur 2+ tons? r u serious? thats heavier than an elephant..

i hope you meant 530.

[BHT195]

No, i meant i am 6 foot 5 inches tall and wiegh 300 pounds lol. My bad typing

[thedarkwatcher]

[quote]No, i meant i am 6 foot 5 inches tall and wiegh 300 pounds lol. [/quote]

Are you Bob Sapp?? LOL. Last I heard he's similar.

[Corcio713]

Goddamn, if I had to hold the pads for Jerome LeBanner while he was doing mutliple roundhouses, I'd just drop the pads and start crying.

That's frightening power AND speed, especially for a big guy!

[Daeron15]

i would take the pain such an honor to do pads for le banner hehe

[teamAmerica07]

he is fucken huge

[bubbles2006]

He brings his hands down every time opening up his head for a few good shots. Yes he's huge, but if he misses, he has put all his trust on striking his opponent for a knockout with this one strike without assuming the possibility of it missing or being blocked and him being wide open to be struck.

[javor86]

That is called speed kicking, for which u drop ur hands to bring extra speed in order to build stamina..different than ur power swing kick..he actually has great form. Check Lebanners fights, a great kick boxer, won many fights with technique, not only with power. Trust me, he knows where to keep his hands.

[BHT195]

Also, to kick with enough power at that speed (i mean, he cant bring his leg fully back each time) he has to use the whole of his body to generate the force necessary to deliver a good blow. In karate when I punch or kick i can kock Sempai backwards no matter how hard he tries to stay put, and thats because ive learned to use every muscle in my body to generate force in a strike. He may be open, but hes sacrificing his guard for much more force in his attack.

[dilboy1234]

size of the c**t! I wudnt go anywhere near him! awesome!

[boxerlad]

le banner is a god damn monster and awesome fighter nice vids dude

[Arwon]

my god hes huge

[thaibox07]
