how to stretch for high kick! by ex-kickboxing world champ

[kyukoshin38]

osu! Thank you! I learned from you:-)



[ZLCgibonTVV]

tu polska. Przejmujemy ten filmik !



[shafooooo]

would be fun if he hitted the camera :D

[TheMrGunjah]

 1:33 whhaaassssssss :D

[LucrStvn]

Thats shadow boxing, im sure he speeds up in a fight.

[TheNin0007]

i wonder what would happen if u turn around like that in a real fight :)

[888peanut888]

@TheNin0007 its shaddow boxing. since you follow through with the kick when kicking someone, when shaddow boxing, to kick with same technique, you follow through and spin. and you do see people spin in fight when they miss and the opponent doesnt try hit his back because that is illegal.

[KidDarknessBboy]

Smexy!

[masteropuppets100]

lol he looks totally stoned!

[tweaksOne]

@masteropuppets100 nah he's just asian

[T3hTroll]

@masteropuppets100 he is

[Talbuk]

nice tutorial to increase your stretches but the breathing technique at the end looks and sounds stupid, except for the very last one

[ruebuscm]

@Talbuk Almost every martial artist I know breathes like that when they fight and train. Who cares if it looks or sounds stupid?

[MrFlyingKicker]

Does he see well ?

[ozboybrian]

How long does it take for a Fatty to get this down?

[SnowShackboy]

i thought your supposed to return to stance after a kick like that, i was taught never to spin around but eh hes a world champ sooo whatev i guess ha

[wkaine88]

@SnowShackboy if the kick lands then you can use that object to go bk to your stance but as you can see he has nothing stopping him from spinning so his momentum takes him all the way round, hav you tried to throw a proper high kick into the air and bring the foot down to stance? if you can do that then u are going rong sumwhere in the technique as you should of been taught to kick thru the target unless your karate and then you snap at the target and come bk down to stance

[SnowShackboy]

@wkaine88 ya i actually was taught to snap and come back, but i do kickboxing not karate. I think both methods have there advantages like the follow through kick will have more damage and power but the snap kick will allow you to get back in stance and be more prepared for the next move he'll throw at ya. so both work, not trying to say i know everything and do it all right sorry if i sounded like that

[wkaine88]

@SnowShackboy coming from karate then you were right with what you sed, thai has more power but karate is faster, i gues ther is so many different ways to do kicks and punches in all the different martial arts but i personaly prefer thai boxing onli because i dont like all the shouting and screaming you are told to do in karate

[Aras0180]

haha! xD good job but... what's the eyebrows doing with it, just wondering?

[gottod]

@Aras0180 I guess that's a habit he deliberately developed for the ring, so that he can protect his head from his opponent's follow up instinctively. Just a guess though.

[BartRamone]

This kick sucks. The best kick is the frontal kick to the balls.

[masteropuppets100]

@BartRamone the same thing doesnt work every time.

[CutiePie4325]

At first I was laughing at his hissing and then I realized how much easier that is to compress your diaphragm than yelling. Try it!

[XLRO8]

the man seems powerful i can feel it through the video!!

[Ribenawafer]

sexy feet.



[1outlawz]

Hes way too paranoid about his eyebrows

[theJollyDevil]

did you shit your pants bro?

[gagakopf1]

@theJollyDevil

did you shit your face bro ?

[theJollyDevil]

@gagakopf1 lol another german pussy trying to troll and fail :) 

[moussleouf]

@theJollyDevil

another fat american dick sucker thinking he has a life ... ;)

[theJollyDevil]

@moussleouf its funny that you call me a fat dick sucker that doesnt have a life even tho you never saw me but that gives me a idea what people call you.. but you're a muslim so you have the right to be that pathetic ;)

[theJollyDevil]

@moussleouf go pray to "allah" or w.e you sick fucks do.. maybe he'll make you a bigger man ;)

[moussleouf]

@theJollyDevil Don't worry, i pray 5 times/day. And thanks god for what i am.

[theJollyDevil]

@moussleouf dont thank god for being useless bro thank your mommy and daddy

[theJollyDevil]

@moussleouf thank god for what you are? LOL you're a muslim that thinks he's something special but you're actually nothing but a dumbass that believes in highly imaginative stuff such as "allah". You my friend are just a brain washed hopeless person that seeks atention. If "allah" is the only thing you live for then just kill your self..not that the world will be a better place it'll stay exactly the same d.w

[ozboybrian]

@theJollyDevil - Wow. you're being pretty harsh to whoever that is.

What'd he say? lol

[George73555]

this guy is verry funny!!!!!

[nmusah]

alien much



[Apeshavenotails2]

@95Sphinx i do a little.

[95Sphinx]

dude, does anyone here speak japanese?

[FaridYM]

actually to kick high you don't need this kind of static stretching but dynamic stretching instead

[MegaSlayerr]

@FaridYM ah yes sur a ex world champ obviously wouldnt know what his on about ill take your advice instead !...

[FaridYM]

@MegaSlayerr dont care if he is a world champion or the pope. even champions train wrong just because they learned it this way and are lucky if it worked for them. I used to stretch this same way until i got injury from it. This kind of stretching is fine if you do it after the workout and already warm enough not before working out. For more info just search here in youtube for secrets of stretching or google the book stretching scientifically. This book approaches stretching more realistic

[MegaSlayerr]

@FaridYM Well just cause it doesnt work for you doesnt mean its wrong maybe it works for other people ?

[gzac95]

You guys realize it takes training to do this effectively?

[looker768]

he's kinda cute



[Jackbarnfield]

what?

[SWJarek]

I know why he can kick, because looks like Mark Dacascos

[djBlechkopf]

i like how he's checking if his eyebrows r still there after every single kick! =D

nah just joking, nice vid bro! i decided to start kickboxing, unfortunately i'm already 20yo... -.-' hope it's not too late already!!

[musclesfromsomalia]

@djBlechkopf me too man iam 20 wanna start kick boxing i hope it aint too late either lol

[DjCroatia1993]

@musclesfromsomalia It's never too late. There are people who come to my gym that are 50 years old.

[mookeymanderson]

@musclesfromsomalia Never to late man. I know a guy who's 40 and is winning competitive fights. He didnt start training till hew was in his thirties.

[CurryTwista]

i cant even do the bloody exercises :(

[ryuki312]

he said the key point is to shrink the side on the same side of the kick leg and to stretch the other side.

[MrSlaveMentality]

can somebody pleas translate?

im guessing he's saying something about feeling it in his sides etc.....

and does anybody know any good stretches to not only get the kick high - but too hold it up there...?

so rather than a spin like this guy did, a slow rising kick and holding it at the top.

[maggot1234]

Don't forget to touch your eyebrows!

[TheRick16v]

@maggot1234 LAWL!!

[CAJAGISAN]

@maggot1234

rofl haha xDD pwned

[tuanisback]

That was Awsome!

But, I wonder how many nerds are watching this.

[blazezero1]

@tuanisback not a nerd just to cheap to lean from a real teacher

[itzjasonn]

@blazezero1 you're a fool

[blazezero1]

@itzjasonn YOU ARE CORRECT SIR AND OR MADAM

[OdysseusAres5500]

@tuanisback Yeah especially with the word "high kick". It's so... common.

Roundhouse kick, or turning kick.

[abcadam93]

@tuanisback why would u care?

[Maten123]

@tuanisback Atleast one =I

[anirokkfan]

@tuanisback i don't get what you mean? nerds?

[SimohammeD007]

@anirokkfan

that means "Maniac"



[JeraldMcClane]

@tuanisback hahaha

[UltimatePowerSleeper]

@tuanisback if ur a nerd dont mean u cant fight

[DerHerbman]

@tuanisback for now!

[DerHerbman]

327.765

[zedosix]

@tuanisback just you. haha

[BurbonPL]

Why the fuck every Asian know Matrial Arts ?

[KiraxRo]

@BurbonPL Is culture, every American are racist.

[cyberqairil]

Oh mann, if I knew this, I would have taken up Japanese before learning how to stretch.

[tyciol]

This looks pretty helpful

[SeraphsSword]

friggin sweet brah

[bloodcorer]

just watch out not to throw a kick to your TV

[trimotheromance]

The 18 who dislike this doesn't have any eyebrows. And are Justin Bieber faggs....

[mikecrevil]

@trimotheromance What was your point with that useless comment? Being funny? If so, then you failed big time.

[trimotheromance]

@mikecrevil And you are?

[trimotheromance]

@mikecrevil You want a cookie?

[iBeansOnToasTi]

Maybe he's just wiping the sweat off his forehead.

[gaijinass]

J-Network is Gay. No elbows. No clinching. Paper tigers. I mean, No real fighters. SHIN NIHON KICKBOXING is where the heat is. J-Net= Trannies and losers. Depressing this gets SO much attention.

[DarthScosha]

After the first 8 seconds of the video i could tell he was Japanese, my language identification of Japanese is improving.

[DoctorAsshole1]

yeah except when he spins around hes gonna get jabbed in the kidney and piss blood for a week

dislike

[Latin69Juggalo]

@DoctorAsshole1 You Either Move Away From The Kick, or Get Kicked; Either Way, He Has Enough Time To Turn All The Way Around.

[AudienceKiller66]

the eyebrows touching is because thats exactly where you should holds your hands to guard against punches.

[Hell4Money]

haha funny :D his habit...^^

[dotadeviljoke]

OSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

[MrFFSMAN]

@dotadeviljoke any idea of what could it mean?

[Trickblaze7]

very clean

[MrKra7as]

I didn't even watch the video yet but I'm just commenting to let you know how much you look like my uncle when he was younger !

[ponkhan]

Doesn't stretching like that at 00:51 damage the knee? Just wondering out loud.

[DarthScosha]

@ponkhan No, as long as you dont feel tension or strain on your bones, then its ok

[23viktor23]

in taekwondo they call that a low kick. just kidding guys :)

[jumpman366]

I felt no stretch doin this

[motus]

@jumpman366 you're doing it wrong then,  keep your leg horizontal and not at an angle

[ittarter]

Why does he tickle his lats? :P

[Sivaranjanh]

Perfect.....................

[muaythaiscorpion]

@snowshark84 they're using their speed on you and you're probably fast for your size I'm 160 and in the 100 percentile in speed for that weight my instructor in japanese kickboxing thought I was a freak..lol..but you hit the nail on the head with "it all has to do with your level of training and your natural instincts." bravo man bravo...

[diorio83]

what is that sound shhhhhh he makes when kicking ?

[fidjibajs1]

@diorio83 He is breathing out, it will make your muscles tense so the hit or kick will get a bit harder and faster

[GeoBaard]

@diorio83 it's also so if u get hit, you won't auto faint.. it is to tense your abs while breathing out. it wont hurt if u get hit basically =D

[NudulWASLOS]

wow he is kicking very fast!

[rx8jeT]

@NudulWASLOS i bet he could beat you up tou.

[Pampabebei]

looks like hes going to rip his fucking leg off!

[garytangmingwei]

can i ask, if whether his other leg on the floor is pivoting behind him or is he keeping it straight.

[inuysha360]

fuck yeah japanese people own

[MRCALIfornyay]

wats with the dummasses that say that he puts his hands up just to tuch his eyebrows if he missed a real kick he might get popped so defense and offense always do good wen they r working togather

[Strank0]

It's not touching his eyebrows >.<, he raises his hands to guard, nobody would like to get hit in the jaw after turning, when he still doesn't know what happened when his back faced the opponent >.<. Muay thai guys sometimes also raise the leg to block possible low-kick.

[Blindmanstaring]

I need to learn how to high kick in 43 hours because I think I caught my girlfriend cheating on me and I'm gonna use a high kick to break up with her.

[MrQuickWin]

@Blindmanstaring Sparta kick is better in those situations, it gets the point across when you stand in front of her and blow her back 10 feet with a solid kick to the chest

[Blindmanstaring]

@MrQuickWin That was used on my 'ex-girlfriend', she got back up after 1 min. I need something to K.O. this one, make her forget we were ever in a relationship.

[MrQuickWin]

@MrQuickWin Ohhh gotcha..see my ex girlfriend was pretty small, so the sparta kick really knocked her out of breath..and when she went through the living room wall, thats when she was knocked out

[McTvrdi]

@Blindmanstaring EPIC 1!!

[DavySigfusson]

@Blindmanstaring

learning it is one thing actually being capable of kicking that high within 43 hours will cost you your inner thigh muscles :D

[tyciol]

@Blindmanstaring 43 hours? That's like a day and 19 hours!

[RuptureFarms]

@Blindmanstaring LMAO!

[acexxful]

@Blindmanstaring nice kick her in the chest XDDD

[joshuabrayboy66]

@Blindmanstaring  LMAO

[omid1337]

@Blindmanstaring HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SO FUCKING GOOD OF YOU!

[flekidog]

@Blindmanstaring Best reason to learn high kick :)

[laptoplarryspc]

@Blindmanstaring shoot the fucker instead it's easier

[DakotaJanes]

@Blindmanstaring LOOOL.. She's coming at you from above? LOL Why 43 hours?

[Caveman1213]

Karate~! Lol, I caught that bit at the end...lol...

[NoodleBoy26]

yeah think his eyebrows are fake he keeps touching them after each kick. but meh. i need to know how to stretch my leg muscles for high kicks :D

[stickfiguredudeftw]

Fake eyebrows?

[eljiah]

are the shuu-shuu sounds essential ;-) ? lol

[muaythaiscorpion]

Bruce lee sucks what a dumb ass comment. Bruce would kill brock in anything except wrestling thats where size matters....otherwise bruce is to light on his feet and skilled...

[deColganater]

@muaythaiscorpion ur right i would like to see brock do a one finger push up now thats strengh.

[hahafuto]

@muaythaiscorpion hahhhahahahahahahah

[iitachifries]

idk man Brock is pretty big...Bruce probably couldnt even block most of his punches. Still WAY better pound for pound fighter, prob the best of all time

[tigredelnorte19]

@muaythaiscorpion Educate yourself before making ignorant comments, in fact size matters more when fighting someone standing up. On the ground, technique prevails, take a small but highly skilled Jiu-jitsu fighter vs a huge muscular but no ground fighting skills bodybuilder and the Little guy will rape. Look up Royce Gracie vs. Akebono.

[muaythaiscorpion]

@tigredelnorte19 I seen how old you are and am shocked that a grown man could be so dumb as to think size matters more or the stand up than on the ground.. and akebono has ground game it's not that good but he does have it...ah matt hughes was straight muscle when he fought royce and beat him on the ground but thats where technique prevails right...for every advantage there is a disadvantage...but you must love brock so sorry man 

[DonMega187]

@muaythaiscorpion if u're talkin of ufc in the beginnin there wasn't weight classes but back then the styles and level of fighters varied much more and so smaller guy could win a bigger one. it was much more realistic, ruleswise also, like how things could go on a streetfight.

now everyone is each other's clones and it's quite boring so there must be weight classes because both fight the same styles and have similar skills so bigger guy would gain an advantage in power and/or reach.

[VaisPues]

Uss

[nhoj24]

he touches his eyebrows as conditioning to get the hands back to guard after the kick has ended

[reality7777]

Well ... I stretch all the time but it doesn't matter ... I don't have the body movement that this guy (and many others) have and therefore I will never be able to do a good high roundhouse (or a bad one for that matter). I kick very high straight on ... that is, mai geri. But mawashi geri, not possible for me. I envy him and others who have that ability.

[gustavocologni]

japanese is hard to understand !!!

[xiaoli26]

Japanese/Nihongo 8D he said: ichi, ni, san, shi, go...which means (one, two, three, four, five)

OUSU!!!! xD

[jaky222]

cool but have 50 kg...

[GaryK425]

look how small this dude is...and how much of an animal he would be in a fight. I respect that but I hate when people just lift weights to get strong..like one of my friends who has been lifting weights for months and thinks he is really tough...although he can lift mor eweight than me and he is a little heavier I can still kick the shit out of him coz I'm fast...anyone know why? like why he can't fight at all even tho he can lifty quite a bit?

[brichgruber]

@GaryK425 My guess would be tone. Having no stamina and dexterity is a good way for "strong men" to get an abulance ride to the hospital.

[hollandneverdie]

@GaryK425 because he doesnt stretch?

[Lyunatis]

@GaryK425 @GaryK425 I'd say bad technique In the west we have a tendency to build strength and muscle mass but neglect technique and flexability therefore anyone who is faster who can deal enough damage can beat people with higher strength than themselves. Make sure he learns the way of fightingvs just having strength. It is much easier to keep technique and flexability than to keep strength and muscle mass so those type of fighters can conitnue to fight as they increase in age.

[dodgingaces]

@GaryK425 "all that streagnth, and you dont even know how to use it." thats what a brown belt said to my sensai in weight training before he went into martial arts and became a 7th degree black belt.........76 years old and he can still knock the shit out of a me.

[snatchhog]

@dodgingaces  Strength versus skill? I would bet a pile of money Brock Lesnar would KILL Bruce Lee in a cage match.

[dodgingaces]

@snatchhog personaly bruce lee sucks......but what im getting at is, you should have both streagnth and skill....having just one is not effective....im certain if kimbo slice went against a black belt from the JKA on the street with both having the intention to kill the other....kimbo would be dead, with the fact being known that some MMA schools dont teach how to kill or imobilize your opponent....and that kimbo doesnt even have any martial arts backround.

[Freddy3rocksout]

@GaryK425 weights make you stronger they do not improve fighting skills, the only thing it would probably give you is a heavier hand if you do some sort of work out but other than that weights do not have fighting involved

[SuperiorApostate]

maybe he just has eyebrow-touchy-feely tourette's.

[Abs252]

xaxaxax

[tongit1]

wakaranai ne! nihongo mushkashi, english ok pls

[nilbymouse]

I think he touches his eybrow to see if they are still attached after getting kicked in the head so often- let it be a lesson to us all, work hard, win a world championship and end up with detached eybrows and the cubical near the toilet.

[nilbymouse]

' It's impossible to keep your foot forward for it would tear your knee apart.'

ho goldengloves OTTOVARIALS dad here, I meant where he kept his feet during the stretch. I do some of the same stretches agains a low wall with my rear foot facing back along the wall 180 but i also then twist my kee in away from the wall to look at a 90 degree angle while still leaving the foot and lower leg facing at the back wall. When kicking I only turn my foot 180 in rare circumstance as I fight full contact

[OTTOVARIAL]

wha is the supporting foot doing (asks my dad )

[goldengloves49]

His supporting foot is almost indefinitely pivoted with the heel facing the direction in which he's kicking ( maybe a little closer than facing that direction all the way). It's impossible to keep your foot forward for it would tear your knee apart.

[rampage134]

domo arigato

[sonicboomboom]

I like the way he touches his eyebrows everytime after he kicks.

[yugiel]

@sonicboomboom yes lol it looks funny but i think he do it for check his guard,if its cover his face after kick

[8acapella9]

He's so handsome!

[tyciol]

@8acapella9 Yeah I know right, I don't know whether to be gay for him or GAR for him

[S3aW3ed]

@8acapella9

you can tell because he brushes his eyebrows every time he kicks ^^

[amazing1968]

hasss

[78NELSON78]

COOL...now get back to werk u r boss is coming..i need to improve my kicks but me cubicle isnt that large! lol..seriously..
