If people talk shit about this video its because they THINK they know shit..... when really they dont know dick, which is why they are watching a youtube video on how to kick..... If you are a true Martial Artist then you know your never done learning and it never hurts to work on the basics!
to anybody questioning the power of a Thai using the kick not a falang then watch the video Pinsiam vs some Japanese guy? anyways when you watch two thais kicking each other they are so good they cancel each other out watching them smash a forienger is where you see their power.
p.s stepping off to the one side is only one way to throw the kick I see many thais like Yodsanklai stepping to the outside same side as they are striking with same amout of power.
@gameboy010203 To be honest I really don't know. It could be a timing issue. The step is a basic and general guideline. If your opponent is moving away from you, you will have to straighten out your step to catch up with them, but they will have a hard time punching you with any power while stepping backwards. Some fighters, like Genki Sudo, Masato, Ali, etc. are so talented they can bend and break rules more offent then average Joes.
@TakingItToTheMMAT Wow quick reply ! lol...We can have some interesting discussions.
It doesnt seem to be a one off thing though. Almost all the Japanese fighters do that. The step is nonexistent or at the most 2-3" at 80-90 degree angle. Im trying to work that japanese style of kick into my game cuz i feel it better suits me.
@TakingItToTheMMAT It doesnt seem much of a problem in the body kick cuz distance gives some protection but in low kicks u need it. Watch Sato (vs golyaev) or Yasuhiro Kido. Those guys illustrate it the best.
@gameboy010203 Honestly? from the words of my previous trainer at ingram boxing, Samkor keatmonteep, "If the guy fast, out step no good". The stepping out is part of the technique to gain power and leverage off your hips rotation and insure that the kick will land at maximum velocity, only problem is, it telegraphs the kick, from a MILE away. So on the pro level between two very talented fighters you will generally see them avoid stepping out very wide.
@gameboy010203 Actually they do. Masato is big on the switch kick however and only has to clear the jab so there is less of a step involved. All kickboxers make this step, not only as a counter but to create better power and angles. Its very subtle when they do it, but they do. You tend to see it on leg kicks more than middle or high kicks due to the risk of low counters from too much telegraphing. Hope this answers your question. Sorry for butting in.
@gameboy010203 well you can throw the kick without stepping outwards by rotating more but the way to optimize your power is by 45 degree outward stepping
@arikat1 does it have the same power as the kick with the 45 degree step kick, u know if u turn more with out stepping does it have the same amount of power
@AintDoneYet123 in theory no. Your opponent's body has to stop the rotation of your hips not over-extention. So one has to land the kick in such an angle that his pelvic muscles release the maximum energy at the point of impact . Like boxing, the body has to be "infront" of the hit. Check this guy (watch?v=N4KrqeTT1g4&feature=channel_video_title) his shin lands and his pelvic muscles keep pushing the bag. Put shin on wall, thrust hips as if fucking upwards in angle :), find optimum conditions
no matter how smart you are though you can only perfect the kick by practicing. The optimum posture, movement and body mechanics will reveal themselves to you in training. Like my trainer says: kick to kill!
@gameboy010203 You may not have seen them doing it. If the reach is the same. They would have to step out of the line of fire to avoid getting hit, while executing the round kick
my 5 cents: if you are fighting your opponent in a very close range, you should kick him with a completely diagonal, 90c kick which goes straight forward more in a push than a swing motion. It generates extreme power.
Well different people throw it different ways man. If you ever go to thailand or even any good gym elsewhere, and then go to another, I guarantee you they will tell you to do it a different way, it all depends on the trainer, some put their hands by the chin, some think that might block their vision so they put it by their left ear...the reasons vary, but fighting really comes down to timing in the end. You are always a fraction of a second from getting knocked out adding a KO to your record.
a common counter for a simple round kick is a hook to the side that isn't kicking or a kick of your own at the same time. He keeps his hand up so that his entire head is covered, not just his chin (the forearm can cover the chin, while the glove covers the rest of the head). while you attack, you also leave your guard up. that is muay thai. that is good fighting.
I have a great teacher and im proud of my Muay Thai skills and power and this looked pretty good to me. I dont unstand why so many people are talkin sh*t. This is way better than those "Academy" videos
@ThaiBox2007 hell yeah man i agree with you 100% I love love loveee MT. I feel so lucky to have good coaches. idk why ppl have to be so neg. this stuff is very solid bread and butter tech. for some1 thats new and wants to learn. its better than taking notes from a chuck norris movie lol
Call Brian Yamasaki names... disrespect? I don't know Brian Yamasaki but I've seen him fight professionally. There's video of it on YT. He's stepped into the ring. Have you?
punching bags don't move and hit u back....I'm pretty sure this guy would lol besides u can tell his movements leave him in perfect position for another technique. This video is decent.
Not sure if I'm seeing this correctly but people are actually questioning the power of the thai roundhouse? This guy is showing it slowed down with very little power behind it to prevent hurting his buddy. The thai round kick is considered by most martial artist the most powerful kick across all forms.
When performed correctly it's quick, accurate and deadly. This video cuts off before he go's to pad work where he can actually put some force into the kicks.
@cerack27 Sorry, I know this is nitpicking, but unless I'm much mistaken, sidekicks generally produce more power, although they are notoriously difficult to land at full strength. But if we consider kicks striking off the centre line, then yes, the Thai Roundhouse has the most momentum, even if it seems slow compared to Karate and Tae Kwon Do kicks.
@Defiant1901 In striking momentum translates into impact/power just like speed is power and for each individual martial arts style the roundhouse is typically the most powerful kick. Now taking that another step the Thai roundhouse is considered almost universally to have the most powerful roundhouse in martial arts. The reason it seems slow compared to a karate or tkd roundhouse isn't tied into a difference in true speed it's just a much longer kick.
@cerack27 That's what i meant with 'speed', referring to the time taken to deliver the kick and return to a guard stance. Karate & tkd kicks are faster, but it feels like a slap compared to thai round kicks. The reason i suggested that side kicks have more power is their pin-point delivery: all the power generated by your kick is delivered over the surface area of your heel, giving it greater penetrating power.
@Defiant1901 The Muay Thai roundhouse is delivered with the shinbone which is much harder then the heel. Some advanced Muay Thai strikers such as Bas Ruten have broken ribs and ruptured people's liver with there roundhouse kick. With a side kick you are limited to the pushing power you can generate with your leg and technique where a roundhouse kick has a whipping nature that draws it's power from more then just your leg or even legs.
@cerack27 IMO it IS the most deadly kick in all combat sports when executed correctly. Any tough guy that questions it? I don't care what his back ground is? An even average Thai boxer or professional kickboxer blasts you with that kick and lands? It's over for the tough guy. So much evidence esp these days on the effectiveness of the Thai roundhouse aka the cut kick, cut round house, etc. IF you want "tough"? you look up Thai Boxing videos of even the k ids/teenagers in Thailand. Scary
side kicks you have to be joking. I've never seen a Thai win a fight with a side kick but I've seen plenty of fights finished with a good round kick. Another fantastic video guys.
If you've ever heard of Mat Herpes, Ringworm, Scabies, or any other nasty skin malady... that's what's up with the tights.
I don't have any of the above and I don't plan on picking any of them up in the near future. If you're cool with taking the gamble, be my guest. But if it's good enough for super heroes, its good enough for me. WAR Aoki!
this is a far more effective kick than a sidekick. needs a lot more space and is a lot harder to actually pull off. Just when you think you're doing it right, a thai coach will see you doing it and point out something you're doing wrong. Take my word for it mate -no "fighter" becomes one without training with others.
I don't know about that. You only need one sidekick. This kick is more like something you throw after a combo, it can be intercepted if you just throw it out of no where.
the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. How many times do you see fights in top MMA promotions getting ended by a sidekick? I personally have never seen it.
But this kick work because you don't have to turn side on to throw it and it's a lot more accurate and easier to throw. And believe me - it hits with just as much power if not more.
Sounds more like argumentem ad populum to me when you say you don't see it enough. Plus, you don't have to turn to your side in order to use it. There's many ways to throw the attack non-telegraphically.
but at least base your opinions on an actual practical basis and not on some idea you've gotten through watching videos on youtube and listening to your "sensei".
I will take a side kick to the stomach before I would take a Thai round-house. In competition I personally ever use the side kick when trying to recover after a missed kicked, stumble, defensive posturing. But thats just me others maybe able to use it more effectively.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's not even like MT doesn't use it, just that they don't use it lower than the body, that's banned. But that's the most effective one.
I'm surprised no MT purists ever bring up Savate. They bring up San Da, but not Savate. I've seen MT guys beat San Da people, but I've never seen an MT fighter beat a Savatuer.
it puts u in a closer position to kick the body or head and second your opponent does not see it coming. It will feel ackward at first, but u will soon get comfortable with it.
Now, back to taking that 45 degree step and kick. This is okay I'm not saying you should never take that step, but it has to be set up with a flurry of punches or when the opponent is exhausted and is not moving very fast. Another example is when the opponent is in the corner.
mate, the thai kick is known as being the most effective kick in terms of balance, speed, power, accuracy and ease of use. No other kick balances all these aspects as well. Hence why most MMA fighters will cross train in muay thai for their stand up.
take one of these kicks anywhere on your body before commenting on the power lol.
I'm sorry but u are incorrect in delivering the round kick.
You do not step 45 degree's. A professional fighter such as myself call that telegraphing. As soon as you make that step I know you are attempting to throw a kick and I will not stand there and let you hit me. Now, deliver the kick WITHOUT stepping. Your saying that by not stepping you run the risk of getting hit in the face; this is true, but you if lean your upper body back almost like your going to fall b-wards. This does two thing
Nice video. Really clear instruction, professional attitude, clear technical principles.
