I don't understand all of the negativity and critisizm regarding this kick and TKD. As a woman, I would be overpowered by a male attacker, esp using only my upper body strength - but a kick like this would mess someone up enough to get the heck away from him. Debating different styles of MA is fine, hating on something that other's enjoy is pointless.
The thing with kicks, which makes me not wanna use them so much, is that they're slow and they expose your leg a lot. If you trap someones foot it's not that hard to break the ankle or knee, if you're quick enough. And with a broken leg you really aren't much good in a fight.
I prefer headbuts, elbows and knees, if you're gonna strike. They don't look as good and you have to be close to use them but that's my taste. They're simpler and I'm a simple person lol.
This can easily be countered with a basic knowledge of Krav Maga and with a side kick you are supposed to twist your torso towards the ground, as a lot of the power comes from hips not just your leg.
one more thing, I for one do not use this kick because you can get injured. Your opponent only has to move his body back and put his elbow on your ankle and it wil hurt like a motha fuc*a
the sidekick is very easy to block and when you block it you turn your opponent on one side making him very vulnerable. This guy says that he can break your hand if you block it, who in his right minf blocks a hit frontal????? another thing, that dirty feet girl's stance is way wrong, please explain how are going to put force in your hits, any hits, when your center of gravity and your large part of the weight is on your back foot????
In practice,this kick if used against a more or less prepared adversary,should be applied only in combination with other kicks or aginst not one adversaries.
In reality,when you turn your body to do a side kick like it is shown here ,firstly,your kick is too slow and visible for the adversary,and secondly,you open your body for his counterattack.
@AndreiYudin70 you are wrong bro. this kick shown here is perfect and strong. this is the same way i learned this kick from my master who is from shaolin tample, he is called kanishka sharma. you can search him in youtube.
@AndreiYudin70, yes, this comment is perfect. I can add that I don't like kicks that need an unuseful and dangerous step to be charged. If you do this kind of things against a skilled fighter, surely you have your leg damaged before you start to lift up your feet. I use to not join NEVER my feet while i fight (as kick boxers, boxers and many others do.)By the way, the real strenght of the kick is in the rotation of the axes leg (and feet). May be i'm wrong but i've never seen this kick on a ring
@abacab67 since we're talking about martial arts,I would say applying this side kick against a wrestler (sambo,jiu-do etc.)must be still more dangerous,cause you grant the wrestler exactly the right moment to attack you.
@abacab67 Cung Le uses the sidekick a lot in UFC. A backside sidekick performed by someone who actually can perform it would kill you. The reason many people don't use sidekick is because it is hard to learn, and because, well... I don't know why it is so rarely used. It works great if you are able to kick to solar plexus.
Why do people keep posting bad comments like dirty feet and that sidekick is not the strongest but thats not the point the point is how to teach you how to do a side kick
What do you mean most. Powerful kick it can be easily doughed causing you a serious damage i have a proof just search on youtube write jony jaa japanese demonstration and watch the video
@MostRecklessENT mma is not that effective on the street,most of them just try to get on the ground.ok lets say there are multiple fighters at once well bjj or judo want work.so learn ho to fight like real fighter(cain valeswqua)
Joe Lewis' and John Graden's credibility in the martial arts is beyond reproach. I have never met either man, but anyone wh has been involved in the martial arts for any length of time knows of their credibility.
DS, a properly refolded sidekick isn't likely to be caught. And if your oppoonent focuses too much on catching a kick with his hands, he may discover how hard it is to maintain his grip on the leg when his ribs are broken.
My step-up sidekick was my favorite technique for power.
With all do respect, a pivot right before the surface is a risk. Why not plant your heel facing the direction of your kick by first aiming with your hip. This is a more natural form of body physics and better for your hips and balance. The power generated by this motion is non telegraphed creating an effortless prowess using flexion along with follow through.
A CLEAR COMBAT MOMENT - From my years of combat training I think it is safe to say that
the Sanda/Sanshou fighters have the best side kicks. Players like Cung Le, always uses his heel to explode into his opponent. You have to be careful and not use it too much, it will burn a lot of energy allowing your opponent to gain an edge.
Started throwing kicks in '68.Been teaching since 1971.Of late been reviewing so called lessons for beginners on the basic side kick on the internet.Congrats!Of all the vids I have reviewed, your explanation is the most cogent.One aspect that eludes everyone in their explanations is the importance of keeping the knee of the balancing leg bent throughout the kick. And if a pivot is involved, having the foot of the balancing leg return flat to the floor after the pivot and before contact is made.
In martial arts, you notice alot of people in the arenas even though their black belts, when they do a move, it looks as if it had no improvement... wanna know why??? They lack stretching exercises and warm ups. Because, i notice in some martial arts school, they dont warm up, or sit up or push up or stretch!! -.- i can finally do a perfect sidekick too! xD self thought!!! but john graden kinda helped me with additional info so... thanks!! xD
@HybridD91 pay attention to your supporting leg, often, you will notice that the supporting leg does not rotate to allow the hips to roll which is essential when kicking above the waist. The foot of the supporting leg should pivot to point almost directly behind you, also you need to lean back a certain amount to allow the leg to move up, it's very common for this to be natural, almost instinctive on one side but needs concentration with the other side
Use the BLADE of the foot to get the most damaging kick - less surface area of the foot touching equals more power. That kick will do a fraction of the power vs using the blade of the foot.
@badreligionfan85 If ur not conditioned for it, ur ankle breaks. Also, using the foot sends opponents flying :3 Blade of the foot, in my opinion, is really only useful for hitting the throat, and possibly getting in under the ribs
im learning martial arts on my own until i can find a karate place to help me learn about it. So i don't really know much about it. But i'm slowly moving farther and farther on my skills. I've been on google and youtube, it will be a while until i complete this on my own should i try on my own?
Quick question: the kick is preceded by planting the back foot just behind the front foot: doesn't that give away the intention of the kick? I always tried to launch side kicks by lifting forward knee up, then pivoting the back foot while driving the front foot forward. Would that limit my kick range? Am I missing something with that forward step, or is that just different form?
JKD sidekick is basically a step-in or hopping sidekick, an offensive kick. Front leg sidekick is mainly defensive if the opponent gets too close. The rotating sidekick shown here, I think can be used both offensively and defensively, but the turn uses a little more time and energy and does not reach too far. It's sort of in between both previously mentioned sidekicks, but I guess it works well with people who has long limbs.
you only really need to aim the side kick low at your opponents kneecap or shin or groin
Never higher than waist
the higher you raise your leg, the more vulnerable you are in terms of body exposure and off-balance.
Kicks should only be aimed at your opponents leg or groin, but then again i train in JKD which is not a sport and also has the dominant side and limbs fowards in the stance making it easier to low kick
Not the rear leg side kick, the spinning back or side kick. You are speaking about the wrong kick. I have competed in many AAU tournaments, the spin back kick is bad to get hit with. So far as a street fight, the knee lift is the worst to get hit with in the groin. Street fighting is easy, most guys are out of shape or drunk.
I hate the side kick its easy to read and hard to set up quickly, I am a big fan of spinning back kick or spinning side kick though its much more elusive and powerful.
You're an idiot I kick people in the head with roundhouses and spinning heel kicks and frontkicks and they have been knocked out, now tell me that isnt effective
Spinning back kick is the most powerful kick, it is very hard to land. The spin plus the pushing out makes it the most damaging. I like the side kick, but I have been hit by both.
The Jeet Kune Do side kick is launched by propelling your body fowards with your footwork then launching your side kick, so if you weight 150 lbs you will hit with 150 lbs where as a turning side kick will only use the body weight from your turn, so it still wont be as powerful.
Also, during the turning side kick you are stationary or standing still while your back is exposed. This makes you a large target to hit = ineffective for the street
the turning side kick is also rather innacurate because of the turn too. In other words, you dont see where it is aimed at. Making it effective for sport since the judges will be impressed because of the skill requirement, but bad for self-defence.
Usually, the more skill something takes, the worser it is for self-defense.
My leg does not have the flexibility for this, I can't side kick higher then a normal persons hip. is there any stretch or something to help with this?
It seems influenced by JKD but the punches are taken directly from western boxing. The JKD straight punch for example is unique and faster than a jab and non-telegraphic. I still appreciate these videos.
About dirty feet. The floor was dirty. I had shoes on and she didn't. It was not her fault. She was kind enough to help me shoot a video that many seemed to have enjoyed and/or got something out of.
@trueronin people were commenting aboutdirty feet??!!?? What nonsense! When you train in bare feet they get dirty! What kind of rubbish is that to complain about??
i used to have karate classes, last school, i have been learning for three years and i know some moves and i know all the excercises, so i can learn martial arts online.
You CAN'T learn martial arts online, you need training because you won't be able to use that in real life if you don't have the muscles developed for that move...
Anatomically speaking, the knee and elbow, and possibly the head butt are capable of delivering the hardest strikes.
A good side kick can be very powerful, but this form of the kick will be relatively weak compared to other ways of throwing it. This version will be quicker, but deliver less power.
That "Science of" farce with crash test dummies ranked knees first. No allowance for body weights. Arbitrary and pretty average representatives of many arts. Thai boxing knee was into a target pulled inwards with the arms vs other kicks where the target was unsupported. Put the dummy in front of a wall or moving inwards = different result. Power is not one number, it's a curve: peak power (fa jing) often more important than total power (push). Contact surface areas. Don't trivialise.
@TonesterD Can you please speak more clearly? "knees first" in what? "no allowance for body weights" what does this even mean... I understand peak power vs total power but what is the point you are trying to make?
@theguyi26 Sorry - my earlier comment addressed an earlier one re Muay Thai knees being stronger than side kicks. I was saying the "Science Of Martial Arts" TV shows weren't very scientific and their conclusions may or may not be correct, but they can't be taken at face value. In the year since I posted, youtube stopped ordering replies after the comments they were for... doesn't make sense by itself.
You're just the standard ignorant YAH MANNN I WATCHED TEH UFCs AND THEY SAID THAT MUAY THAI KICKS RAWK AND I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT CAUSE I WEAR TAPOUT kind of guy.
What ever a side turning kick is, it isn't going to be as strong unless ur hitting with the heel and using ur largest muscle groups, (quads and ass). the only thing i can think of being stronger is the reverse side kick (which is still a side kick)
it's a move in itf taekwondo and you are useing your thys and my legs are really strong and i'm goodat kicking thus giving me the power i need plus it is a muti purpose kick ithink
I still argue that fact. All depends on the range of the techinque. The knee is limited to close range were the side kick can be used in close range to push off the oppunite and long rang to cause damage. A running or sliding side kick I think causes more damage cause of the momentam. Thai knees are great but limited.
wut this kick or martial arts, well w/e yes, both yes. only way this would work in street fight though is if you know more, cuz person might catch it. u must know more.
Probably, because you have more self control than the other person and you are trained, where as you assume the other person doesnt know it is coming, it is quick. The other person very well might be well taught...that is why this wont be the only move you are taking ahahaha.
Best used as a counter, when the opponent advances. Uses the opponent's weight and momentum. They also can't react as fast as this is a slower kick. Stuff 'em right in the short ribs with your heel. I like the back kick better for this though.
You can also cripple someone with a kick to the knee. Drop your weight into the kick by flexing your support knee. But this is slow and you have to be slick to get away with it.
the sidekick has been a life saver to me as a prelude to a sidekick/back kick combo

why is she kicking with sole of her foot, the power would be 2-3 times more if the technique was done properly and uses the side of her foot

Thank you for a really nice video. Is this Jeet Kune Do?

It seems influenced by JKD but the punches are taken directly from western boxing. The JKD straight punch for example is unique and faster than a jab and non-telegraphic. I still appreciate these videos.

About dirty feet. The floor was dirty. I had shoes on and she didn't. It was not her fault. She was kind enough to help me shoot a video that many seemed to have enjoyed and/or got something out of.
Thanks for watching.

just youtubed it, now way in hell that does more damage than a sidekick.
But actually this guy is wrong, the most damaging attack would be a jumping sidekick. Pretty tough to land but that's the most damaging.

You CAN'T learn martial arts online, you need training because you won't be able to use that in real life if you don't have the muscles developed for that move...

What if you did thousands of repetitions on a bag after you watched the dvd's. I suppose you don't get feedback as to how you grasped the move.

Anatomically speaking, the knee and elbow, and possibly the head butt are capable of delivering the hardest strikes.
A good side kick can be very powerful, but this form of the kick will be relatively weak compared to other ways of throwing it. This version will be quicker, but deliver less power.

sidekick isnt the most powerful kick in martial arts muay thai kicks are
kikobartizo 2 years ago
That "Science of" farce with crash test dummies ranked knees first. No allowance for body weights. Arbitrary and pretty average representatives of many arts. Thai boxing knee was into a target pulled inwards with the arms vs other kicks where the target was unsupported. Put the dummy in front of a wall or moving inwards = different result. Power is not one number, it's a curve: peak power (fa jing) often more important than total power (push). Contact surface areas. Don't trivialise.

@TonesterD Can you please speak more clearly? "knees first" in what? "no allowance for body weights" what does this even mean... I understand peak power vs total power but what is the point you are trying to make?
theguyi26 1 year ago
@theguyi26 Sorry - my earlier comment addressed an earlier one re Muay Thai knees being stronger than side kicks. I was saying the "Science Of Martial Arts" TV shows weren't very scientific and their conclusions may or may not be correct, but they can't be taken at face value. In the year since I posted, youtube stopped ordering replies after the comments they were for... doesn't make sense by itself.

what about chambering the leg vertically(pulling the knee into your chest) , then swiveling into the kick with a shift of your hips/supporting foot?

disturbedman360 3 years ago
What ever a side turning kick is, it isn't going to be as strong unless ur hitting with the heel and using ur largest muscle groups, (quads and ass). the only thing i can think of being stronger is the reverse side kick (which is still a side kick)

side kicks are sick but knees are more powerful
rob3391 3 years ago
I still argue that fact. All depends on the range of the techinque. The knee is limited to close range were the side kick can be used in close range to push off the oppunite and long rang to cause damage. A running or sliding side kick I think causes more damage cause of the momentam. Thai knees are great but limited.

Probably, because you have more self control than the other person and you are trained, where as you assume the other person doesnt know it is coming, it is quick. The other person very well might be well taught...that is why this wont be the only move you are taking ahahaha.

Love it. One of the most powerful kicks.
Best used as a counter, when the opponent advances. Uses the opponent's weight and momentum. They also can't react as fast as this is a slower kick. Stuff 'em right in the short ribs with your heel. I like the back kick better for this though.
You can also cripple someone with a kick to the knee. Drop your weight into the kick by flexing your support knee. But this is slow and you have to be slick to get away with it.
