[sandokanthai]

[DAAWG]

@sandokanthai probelm is some people take 5 or 6 Muay Thai lessons then they think they are the ARJAN lol forang are so silly.

[tedlet24]

pointing the toe helps you use the point if the knee also helps deflect kicks from your shin instead of direct impact a kick will somewhat deflect a kick downwards

[becel666]

I also do that knee strike dance on the disco! :D

(joking)

It was funny to watch.

[oldsgtmajusmc]

another good quick vidio on knee strike training-whitewolf of executive self defense

[slaybattousai]

Can you knee strike an opponent on the groin??! I mean in a competition?? If that's true then I guess there would be another type of TKO! Ahahaha~

[TuInMono]

I'm from Thailand - I did Muay Thai!!!

[smokenfly514]

i know its just a minor detail but why do u wanna keep ur foot pointed downward?

[FU0C0]

probably yea, keeps it relaxed. Seems minor but, what really happens when one is said to 'master' a technique is that they only utilise the muscles involved in the technique and nothing else. You know how you first tried to learn, say, a roundhouse kick; your body tenses up unecessarily and your arms are probably waving and maybe you even clench your teeth but once you get better at it, all muscles are relaxed cept for your hip and the leg you're kicking with

[vicvega78]

pretty simple but not minor at all. not doin it, u could hurt or even break your toes on ur opponents knee or shin. it is also about muscles, but not about keeping them relaxed. when u point ur foot downwards during a front knee, u stretch the muscles in ur leg. it's like stretchin a rubberband, the more u stretch, the more power you get from the release.

[deenotheman2]

My friend does Muay Thai, and he's been doing so for three years.

He kneed me ONCE and I couldn't stand for about 10 minutes.

[Reneetgeefshuysen]

hmm if he grabs a person around the head. isn't that asking for a uppercut, isn't it better to grab the shoulder to prevent that? that is what my teacher was learning me. anyway i loved it haha

[sDaviD246]

you can block his arms with your elbows when you're in a clinch, if you got your arms on the inside

[Reneetgeefshuysen]

yo thanks, just started kick-boxing a year ago so learning the techniques a little. i love the sport and my teacher great, he was 4 times world champ kick-boxing, so he teaches well. what sport are you doing?

[sDaviD246]

i do muay thai and brasilian ju jutsu for now :> i prefer just saying that i do MMA

[Reneetgeefshuysen]

yea i guess the ju jutsu is handy with the kicks. my teacher is doing karate next to it.

[Scott20166]

Muay Thai

[Reneetgeefshuysen]

yea muay thai's cool have done that once, cool sport, using elbows.. something that i have to miss with kick-boxing haha

[Kingpinn24]

Yes lift your arms to block and get knees rushed to the ribs then drop your hands get clinched and kneed repeatedly from head to body simultainously

[abcd665ftw]

JERKIN!

[CarefreeButterfly]

0:32 to 0:38

Weeeeeeeeeee!!

[Temur20]

...tha guy id just teaching basics. An, if you guys are experts on the topic...why are you watching videos to learn basics on mauy thai?...shouldn't you be practicing and kicking a sand bag?...HATERS!

[uberjim83]

*whine* but we're tiiiired!

[Temur20]

yeah...good explenation...me too!!!!!

[eter]

No offense, but your gym seems really unauthentic, at least your teaching. Frankly no one should be teaching basic muay thai techniques unless they have them perfected themselves. It look like you were running out of breath after less than 10 knees. Its annoying to see people spreading their stuff around even knowing they're not good enough to teach. FYI no one hits the "groin area"

[Temur20]

...did you know that that the basics of any martial art include self defence tecniques?...you hit the "groin" area when you are in a dangerous situation. btw, if you didn't notice, he filmed all of the clips one after the other...that's why he's out of breath. I would like to see you shadow fighting for 10 min to see how much endurance you have. I practice mauy thai and TKD.

[jami3r00]

if a dude has got a knife pointed at me, fuck the 'be a man' bullshit. Im kneeing that fucker right in the groin.

[uberjim83]

If I was pointing a knife at a guy and he kneed me in the groin, I'd stab him more, not less.

[jami3r00]

i doubt that you'd be able to recover that quickly if someone kicked you in the balls with enough force.

[uberjim83]

I wouldn't have to, you naturally bend over forward when you get kicked in the balls (thus plunging the knife into whoever you were just pointing it at). Plus, since life isn't a comedy movie, a kick to the balls doesn't actually paralyze a person.

[jami3r00]

if you're a real man, you'll realise it damn near does. If you can be kicked unbelievably hard in the testicals and still summon the coordination to stab someone, i salute you. But to be honest i just think you're being ridiculous.

[uberjim83]

I don't really need to have this conversation; I have been kicked in the balls before, and I didn't experience anything like the cartoon-style reaction that you're describing.

Also, if you're ALREADY pointing the knife at someone, then (a) you need no coordination, you just need to bend over forward, which getting kicked in the balls will force you to do, and (b) you can probably move your knife a few inches faster than the other guy can move his foot a few feet.

[jami3r00]

im not describing a cartoon style reaction, you get kicked in the balls, its basically knocks the wind out of you. To be honest i think this whole thing is stupid so whatever works for you, fine.

[uberjim83]

Regardless, getting the wind knocked out of you doesn't prevent you from stabbing someone.

[macphail21]

my mate got kick in the balls hard at football training, and we had to carry him 2 the car 2 take him 2 a&e he was paralyze and in shock.. this testical bust in his sack had get it removed..

[uberjim83]

LOL

[Thraxz666]

thats not funny

[uberjim83]

I guess you just had to be there.

[fcuk088]

wtf OUCH man dats it no 4 footy

[Svittidiu]

@macphail21 Did he lose both testicles or only one? Also, please don't use 2 in place of to. It's annoying.

[eter]

Thats probably the last thing you want to do against a guy with a knife...getting in range of his knife. A push kick can easily knock the wind out of someone that's unconditioned and send him flying back. I weight 136, I can send a 300 pounder back at least a few feet. That's if I don't send him on his knees.

[TheGameMasta]

well thats why you let him attack first, disarm the knife, and now you have a knife and if you dont want that send the knife flying down the road and kick his ass

[uberjim83]

But if you don't happen to have a huge speed advantage over him, waiting for him to attack first will only enable him to stab you before you try anything.

[chrismclegless]

I agree, waiting for someone armed with anything to attack you is foolish. If you think they're going to attack you, either get away before they do, or take them out before they get the chance. A foot to the gut or groin will do that.

[uberjim83]

Or at least slow them down a bit, so you'll get a head start. Unless they have a gun, in which case kicking them in the groin or stomach will just get you shot before your foot is halfway up. I mean, practice all you like but your foot can't travel four feet before the other guy's finger can travel half an inch.

[PyroAcid]

well duh but at short distence form 1 to 3 feet you have a good chance of geting the good away form the person if someone pulled a gun on me i jump on the gun trying to bite and brake his fingers or try to get the gun to go off and make the clip fall outthen stab him in the the eye with the clips

[uberjim83]

Again, the guy can probably fire his gun faster than you can jump on it. And if you get it to go off, you will have shot yourself, because guess where it's pointed?

[AurumenK]

I agree with you there. Firearms will waste any fighter regardless of how good you are. Thats why I think that they are pussy. anybody can pull the trigger and not fight.

[CarefreeButterfly]

Not so simple. If they're holding the knife up, you have to make sure that you can strike them without their arms flailing messily and slicing you.

[Thraxz666]

ohh mate, will you be in trouble if you get in a street fight

[uberjim83]

This might be nitpicking, but it irritates me when people try to teach "martial arts" as if it was one thing. Different martial arts perform techniques differently. Karate, for example, includes sideways knee strikes when hitting the abdomen (so you're moving horizontally instead of vertically) and vertical knee strikes when hitting the groin. Muay Thai almost always uses knee strikes and commonly uses them with a jump, targeting higher areas such as the head, as this guy demonstrates.

[jami3r00]

Why the fuck limit yourself? Fighting is fighting, i dont care if they all have different names. A style only limits your ability to fight. Bruce lee was making a lot of sense when he created Jeet Kune Do.

[uberjim83]

Yeah, he also made a lot of sense when he disbanded it. The continuation of teaching Jeet Kune Do is done against his wishes. Eliminating the unnecessary parts only works AFTER you've accumulated the necessary parts; no-style must follow style.

[bitchslapper12]

FIRST!!

[skymonkey92]

ur so cool
