Power Leg Kick Instructional at American Top Team

[jjkkppod]

...if that bag could feel

[juki0h]

fuck damn man, the human body is truely a weapon of mass destruction!

[undeadpresident]

these are body kicks not leg kicks

[KrnSniper01]

American Top Team? i wanna learn from Thiago Alves!

[geneshufflin]

leg kick? lol! :)))

[hasula202]

wow i wonder whose legs are that high it was going more 2wards a roundhouse

[Cracken185]

your supposed to raise your knee and turn your hips this is a body kick

training like this is when you see people brake their leg

[dubalrimaal]

None of these are leg kicks, they're landing too high.

[cypresspuz]

Why the fuck isnt Thiago Alves teaching these dumb kids?

[jonny232323232323]

awfully high for a leg kick

[stillonparolee]

Why is it that they never emphasize hand position during a kick? That is where most people get rock is in the head right after a kick or during.

[stillonparolee]

i had a muay Thai instructor suck. I ended up renting some videos and learn more from that.

[SenorCockblock]

wandy at 0:19?



[1080famous]

@SenorCockblock no lol

[masterk1lla]

@dennisrayso sorry to say but you are wrong. Were I train American top team in coconut creek has a great muay Thai coach FROM THAILAND in master cha. Don't know if you have actually looked but to say you can't find a gym worth it is very disrespectful. Besides that, have a great day and blessings for great health if you do train

[ivoandsumi]

man the first guy kciks so powerful that it makes me feel sorry for the bag

[masterk1lla]

That's my homeboy John "the musclebot" rivera! ATT 4LIFE

[jamescourt1000]

this motherfucker has some hard kicks

[urfather187]

how much does that bag weigh? cause i send the one at my gym flying with a few power kicks, and i know for a fact the instructor in this video kicks harder than me

[ayjayyextraguetto]

okay i know there are alot of youtube fags out there that act like experts, and i hate them just as much as the next guy.

but here is the thing, i have trained in capoeira, kung fu, and tae kwon do, and this is a TKD kick...i just started muay thai and im so annoyed that my muscle memory of said martial arts wont allow me to get used to the MT movement...

my coach keeps telling me im kicking wrong and he is right..watch rob mccullough...now why does this guy nod when this kid kicks..wtf man

[biohybridsvt]

@ayjayyextraguetto The first guy is throwing a muay thai kick.. but yea the second dude is throwing a TKD kick.. you can tell by his stance and the bouncing around is just like a instructor of mine.

[jackeryatroninator]

Im almost certain thats thiago silva in the background.. but theres no tattoos

[SuperHecktik]

Will all you youtube experts STFU!

[JUSTFIGHT23]

the kid is surfin to much wen he kicks as my coach would say.....hes standing in a taekwondo stance

[ThiagoAlvesFan]

@JUSTFIGHT23 Noticed that as well..=)

[strafer]

He's fast. Might want to step in for more power.

[arikat1]

haha the kid is kicking better than the instructor. The instructor is not kicking "through" the bag, once he touches it he pulls his leg back.

[cbshred1]

@arikat1 don't think that is true. the instructor is  able to bend the bag more. If u get ur foot to the ground quick, like the instructor, you are at less risk for a double leg. at which point you won't be doing much kicking.

p.s. it's just a bag so I'm pretty sure they are more worried about placement and technique not breaking legs.

[arikat1]

@cbshred1 never trained mma so i don't know. The last three kicks of the instructor though seem wrong, he's out of balance (a bit) and he kicks with the muscles of his left leg instead of getting his power from the right leg and hips. Enjoy training!

[RJkiaser0916]

@arikat1 what?? no when the kid kicks the bag barely moves. plus his poisition moves him off balance .

[shechshire]

@arikat1 he has a more than sound technique. in the world of fighting were thier's way to many diciplins to name, everyone has a different "technique"

[CHRISTIANBARCINAS2]

haha dude he trains at AMERICAN TOP TEAM! DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WOULD SUCK!

[smeadazz]

not a leg kick,, thats a shodan kick "body"

[VOZZIFY]

how heavy is the bag?

[MMADRENALINE]

i think its funny when all these guys are telling an MMA COACH how to to fight lmao

[totokickbutt]

that kid to suck? are u fkin retarted or what? alves being bad? no simply no lol

[spartan89v]

Look at the corner with your hands down counter left and your out son. Nice power though.

[jcuzz2121]

hands up when u kick

[burnzbudz]

Kick looks smooth but as a teacher he should know to keep his hands up while throwing the kick. His whole right side of his face stays open when throwing the kick. someone that does boxing and has a nasty left hook would drop him no question. look at his student. his ENTIRE face stays open for hits. its important to learn technique not just how to throw a kick.

[dennisrayso]

dont train in florida, gyms over there suck

[93msheen]

@dennisrayso hahahahaha u wish its one of the top places to train

[dennisrayso]

[weedpussymoney321]

@dennisrayso plus, you obviuosly go all arou8nd the world training so y u sat on your comp arguin with me on fucking youtube u need to get a grip of reality!

[dennisrayso]

@weedpussymoney321 i only train boxing, you dont know how many shitty gyms are out there. especially in florida where they even have guys that ever fought in the sport calling themselves "boxing trainers" even the muay thai trainers have never been to thailand to train there, not one thai man in florida.

[weedpussymoney321]

@dennisrayso yeaah yh of course you do!

[dennisrayso]

@weedpussymoney321 look around you try to find a gym in georgia and florida, you aint gonna find one gym worth it.

[weedpussymoney321]

@dennisrayso y would i go there anywayz i train muay thai in puerta rico papi!!

[dennisrayso]

@weedpussymoney321 its even better to train in puerta rico, did they you guys roll wood on your shin to make them harder?

[weedpussymoney321]

@dennisrayso noo iv never heard of that n we just kick the bag and each other to make shins harder, i dont do it competitive or anything just for fitness n somehting to do!

[cbshred1]

@dennisrayso didnt even know eve still fought.

[JMountainJR]

I'VE SEEN ALL THE KARATE KID MOVIES AND VAN DAM.. I'LL TEACH U ALL TO KICK :)

[tubxyoob]

you can have a PhD in kicks, but you won't be able to kick like the dropouts in thailand.

[THAIWARRIOR777]

@tubxyoob So true!!!

[emilioszz]

@tubxyoob whats PhD?

[MuayThaiBaeee]

ok well anyways i train at this exact American Top Team In Coconut Creek. he is doing it right and i kno these ppl John is just showing him the right way to kick to he can get better. and John is an up coming MMA fighter, so yeah it seems like you guys dont kno what your talking about

[YTSapphire]

didnt know there were so many kids with phD's in leg kicks on youtube rofl

[ChampayneWayne]

@YTSapphire SOOOOO TRUEE!!!!!

[sasuke0447]

when u kick u dont look the like behind u that is just dumb he could just stick u in the face but he do have powerful kicks

[julianisdope]

@sasuke0447 your obviously not going to look behind you in a fight its just for training purposes

[sasuke0447]

@julianisdope well why do you train? to use what you trained if u get into a fight so if u get used to doing it while training then you will do it in real life in a fight or something

[julianisdope]

@sasuke0447 yea you got a good point. i am not a fighter at all just a curious fan so i was kind of basing my comment on what the guy said in the video lol. But it does seem as if i wouldn't be hard to not do in a fight you know what i mean? btw sorry if my comment made me seem like a know it all(aka asshole) because i really wasn't trying to.

[787Rs]

@julianisdope its not for training purposes its for teaching purposes, yes lol there is a difference. He doesn't really mean look to the corner you have to move your hips as if your looking towards the corner I'm not a know it all ether but i do train in American top team Orlando and i do know this much

[MarvelCFC]

yea he is snappin his leg at the end instead of turnin his hip through, decent though can b worked on

[DamnCanucks]

i can tell this guy used to do tae kwon do.

unfortunately, tae kwon do kicks and muay thai kicks are no where near the same.

tae kwon do kicks incorporate flicking of the leg

muay thai kicks incorporate the rotation of the body as one unit, allowing the leg to swing with the added momentum of the whole body; the difference is astounding and the damage is on another level.

[Everly1388]

@DamnCanucks your right, i train with my friend who's a blackbelt in tae kwon do and he has the hardest time getting used to doing Muay thai kicks. They are far far more damaging and i think much more efficient for MMA.

[dennisrayso]

i rather train muay thai in Brazil or southeast asia

[DutchIceMaN1]

not that good...

[DoWorkNP]

There's nothing better than turning a heavy bag inside out with leg kicks.

[jajbee]

:O They have headphones :D

[jeb6971]

the kid just needs to adjust his stance and turn his hip more cuz he is doing a taekwondo kick but w/ more reps im sure he will be able to adjust soon enough...

[dcureman123]

@jeb6971 mebba you should invite him to your gym for some personal training

[TarZan69lelenana]

kicks look a snappy to me

[KiwiYaney]

like how the kids has his sleeves rolled up show those guns off homie

[hijituso]

the kid kicks ok but i hate de earphones ,you dont wanna use it wen youre practicing tecniques uset it wen you re running or riding bicycle

[lilsm555]

The coach has some fast round kicks. 

[Justfar94]

thiago silva in back??

1:18

[RMMaryport]

@Justfar94 Yeah, the coach should be showing Thiago how to kick...

[flighthorizon]

Quick and powerful leg kicks.

[007hor]

Leg kicks? Who are you training to fight? Semmy Schilt? They were too high for leg kicks.

[klarkratu]

I done some of this training and afterwards I got sore scrotum.

[ChyXx]

ppl quit tryin to ack like u know what your talkin bout

[babarislander1]

yeah this is nice and everything but where the american fighters @ K1 or K1 Max? If you want to call your self American Top Team.

[Curatalo506]

@babarislander1 Take a gander at the MMA scenario? Its an MMA gym, not a Kickboxing gym

[JediJudas]

Wackkkk

[ChyXx]

ATT wack i c u have no idea what your talkin bout what a fag

[JediJudas]

@ChyXx lol you must kick like these homos too lol

[Bigant55]

needs to turn his shoulder and hips more. (Instructor has good torque)

[attestedplum]

so do they all have earphones hanging from the backs of their necks?

[lamtartarus]

kid's a lefty

[DevilDog0228]

@amclartyfrancis2k9 lol you must have awful eye sight.. Looks nothing like Thiago, Thats Mike Hymen

[amclartyfrancis2k9]

1:17 thiago silva in the background?

[andykinew]

@amclartyfrancis2k9 that looks like Wilson Gouveia (remember thiago silva has two sleeve tattoos on both arms, but this was in 2009 so thiago silva had one sleeve at the time) i believe.

[DrMabuse2006]

Sorry boys. But thats not a leg kick. Unless your fighting Hong Man Choi or Semmy Schilt. ^^

For all the rest thats a kick to the midsection.

[patsitekick]

instructor throws a good kick..

[dimefan1]

Not too bad from the kid...just needs to square up more to the bag and get his flexability up. Step through the bag while kicking!!! Put the hours in on the bag and it will come!

[jonny232323232323]

id love to train at a facility like that

[4444ajw4444]

bullshit kicks bro...I expect more from ATT if you are in Florida in the South go to Miami FFA instead

[darkmoonshade]

@4444ajw4444 haters gon hate

[pedofilefan]

@darkmoonshade well said

[miamitrigueno]

the teacher is ok at his kicks, but that kid needs to keep his hands higher and stop hoping up and down like he's doing cardio kickboxing.

[ZombieSlut13]

that was actually really helpful,

i'm thinking about joing the ATT down in st lucie county.but it's gym is nothing like this and a lot of rather (too) beefy kinda guys go..almost like they all take steroids. Din Thomas teaches and he's a great grappler. hope i get a similar experience as they do in coconut creek

[fiebigjudo]

cade o danilo nessa porra pra quebra tudo

[angelidis87]

looks like a body kick..

[purelymma]

the boy kicking looks like a spaz

[dmai20]

is that hermes franca?

[Katsuya89]

I heard that coach Toleque doesnt teach Muay Thai there anymore. What happened to him, is he teaching at another ATT.

[secliptica]

good kicks..great instruction

[iBoX96]

wow i was expectin that kid to suck..but he is quick.

[miamitrigueno]

@iBoX96 quick but no power.  He's doing TKD kicks

[DW01]

I think the leg kick is an awsome technique but i need to work on it a hell of a lot to build up my power.
