[kingfrost30]

[leorosa]

OMG! I like how Duke Rufous teaches, seen this guy before didn't know this teacher was Duke Rufous!

[amberbamber44]

this duke roufus? team roufus for sport, anthony pettis trainer?

[upl8atnite]

@amberbamber44

There's only one.

[Mokacchina]

Er erklärt die wichtigsten Dinge, stimmt, aber sonst sollte er weniger lawern und mal schauen wo er selber hinkickt.

[Nayib1]

Buying this DVD was one of the best choices I've made to improve my training.

[jackEboi0]

@Nayib1 hey whats the DVD called?

[Nayib1]

@jackEboi0 It's a 4 DVD set called "Duke Roufus Muay Thai Full Contact Kickboxing". Each disk is divided in 2 volumes; so there's 8 categories.

[theintrovertedfishie]

For low kicks you want to kick lower down I believe

for high kicks i believe you want to kick more with the middle of your shin

I like doing 100 kicks on each side to work on endurance and technique

[o53679]

Porque todo mundo fica postando um monte de coisa nada a ver? Se ninguém sabe de nada, não adianta nem colocar comentários ridículos! SE EU FOSSE VOCÊS, NÃO PERDERIA O MEU TEMPO ESCREVENDO MERDA!!!!!!

[boozag123]

I swear to god many un-educated people really underestimate low kicks. if i am given a choice in a fight between using low kick only or high kicks i would go with the low kicks. At the beginning of my Muay thai training while sparring with my cousin i got kicked properly with his low kicks and couldn't walk for a walk without limping. so yeah its a really powerful weapon.

[xLEGITIMATEGAMINGx]

@tsjca213 I'm only 14 and I'm learning this at home and I've realized it's more about technique rather than strength.

[boozag123]

@xLEGITIMATEGAMINGx true its more abotu technique but dont misunderstand, strength is important too.

[sdurgefafd]

FULL PENETRATION!

[tsjca213]

I have struggled to get real power in my kicks for a long time, i have done a lot of variations in the past to get power. Today i saw this clip, went to the gym and i kicked about 20 of those kicks on a heavybag, and then i could not kick anymore because my shin was hurting so bad, and i can usually kick "powerkicks" all day long. This is badass power, try it!

[theintrovertedfishie]

@tsjca213 Are you kicking a heavybag with a solid core and a weighted base?

or a hanging bag without a solid core

[tsjca213]

@theintrovertedfishie Im kicking a heavy bag with a solid core yes, a heavy heavy bag

[theintrovertedfishie]

@tsjca213 The problem with a solidcore heavy bags is that once you get your power up on your kick you can kick though to the core really easily

[metallifuc]

duke can kill a man with that kick

[smsnyc88]

This is a great series by one of the best.

[HyperhyperPsyCrow]

this is one of the way's you kick in some kung fu styles as well

[sondratillman5865454]

hahà_sùcht_mAl_ñÁch:_geldeasy_­Âuf_góöglE

[beefygoblin]

There are similar forms from several countries. It being a unique end all form us a myth.

[adogie45]

123 people got kicked by duke rofus

[DPG118th]

noob sry

[methodeus]

love all the professional criticism! its good to see all these fighters and trainers are taking the time to watch instructional videos on youtube :) there is no one way to train and fight... but if you believe it, then your limiting yourself (trainers and students included). i suppose thats why you found this page in the first place...

[Vincenzo689]

grazie chiaro e preciso

[TheSexdevil666]

Its a ok vid but many Muay Thai fighters prefer to not do 1:35 "stepping out" part, i basicly stand on spot and kick, alot faster and more unpredictable.

[EagerJohnny]

@TheSexdevil666 and less power, also leaves your head right in the middle for me to hit it with a straight right....but you keep doing that, makes it easier for me to knock you out.

[TheSexdevil666]

@EagerJohnny

I think Buakaw and Cro Cop knows better :P:P

[omgstoptakingnames]

@TheSexdevil666 it is faster, but doesn't have as much power. i try to use both though.

[pohsiden]

this guy doesnt know what hes kinda doing..he has it down but its sloppy..when you train under Eddy Millis K-1 champ...you learn some things ;]

[Backslapped]

@pohsiden You're an idiot, shut up.

[Chandos92]

this yank is a shitkkunt

[Og3990]

Sagat learned the Tiger Knee from Duke Roufus

[micmahony1]

@Og3990 haha who in turn taught me!

[capncavethe3rd]

lol hi technique fails

[Olole]

SO DISAPPOINTED!!!! When i saw this video before i clicked on it i thought one of them was wearing a kilt

[Dreadfultime]

i love these videos... they show soft kicks, but so many times you can see how the other's hurting, haha

[philosopha7]

Duke Roufus is the man! Now show us the Anthony Pettis Matrix kick! hahaha. Anthony Pettis has a hell of a Muay Thai instructor in his corner in Duke Roufus.

[nevonja]

good teacher and they have a nice hair cut

[NeonTrees1983]

Duke Roufus = The Man that offered us the first Flying Matrix KICK EVER at WEC 53 !

War Roufus AND Pettis !

[jonnybutterfield]

@NeonTrees1983 DEFO mate, that kick was unreal wasnt it

[jonnybutterfield]

@NeonTrees1983 DEFO mate, that kick was unreal wasnt it, id quite like to see Aldo vs Pettis in a muay thai fight, i think aldo would murder anyone tho in that respect, Crispi is going to get murdered when he faces Aldo's kicks thats for sure and we havent even seen Aldo's juijitsu yet and he;s supposed to be better at that than muay thai so they say

[GZAandRZA]

"snap-kick like in every other martial arts" ? i think thats not correct^^.

[dragonfist25]

@GZAandRZA Listen closer. He said "Unlike other martial arts we are not trying to chamber our kicks and snap"

[cyanide4congress]

@dragonfist25 i think he does faget wasnt he world champ and he trains other professional cagefighters and kickboxers

[dragonfist25]

@cyanide4congress What are you talking about jackass?

[angrychickin]

love the energy bro what supps u on be honest

[archangelst3]

wow cool video man... now i wanna practice muay thai! ^_^

[bmidel]

now every body comes experts after watching. This old man would still pound you all and you know that pork fat.

[CaptainNensho]

full contact my fucking ass! look at all that faggot/pussy ass padding!

[Findecan]

@CaptainNensho i suppose you find it smart to spar without shin guards

if you spar at all...

[bigworm12tee]

อืมๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆ ฝรั่งสอนมวยไทย เยี่ยมๆ

[hapkidopy]

super!

[FUSSYMUAYTHAI]

HAVE A THINK ON ME !

YES , YOU KNOW WHEN TO STEP DIAGONAL VS STEPPING STRAIGHT FORWARD FOR A ROUND KICK??

THIS BECOMES A MATTER OF STRATEGY AND TACTICS ..YOUR TRAINER SHOULD LECUTRE AND DEMONSTRATE EVERY THING..IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING THIS INFORMATION YOUR BEING CHEATED . FIND A NEW COACH..

SWITCH FOOT, SWIVEL AND PIVIOT .. THIS IS ALL ELEMENTRY FOOT WORK AND SHOULD BE TOUGHT IN THE FIRST YEAR OF TRAINING .. YOU DIDNT GET THIS INFORMATION .. WRONG SHCOOL AND TRAINER..

FEEMUR = GREAT .

[waters1980]

U have No idea what you are talking ABOUT. . . .BELIEVE ME id KNOW!!!!!!!

[FUSSYMUAYTHAI]

viewing power look over 1 million.

this is very rudimentary..

this is good but its for the very beginner.

there are other variations that you will learn at a later time..

i call this a growth move to later be augmented ..

[bearychitect]

@FUSSYMUAYTHAI IMHO this is a fundamental of MMA, like conditioning, wrestling, jiu jitsu, and like the jab should be [used more]. IMO Lesnar beat Carwin with conditioning (and heart, but mostly conditioning). Jose Aldo cripples people with low kicks (ask Urijah Faber). Maynard wins with wrestling, like Sonnen almost did only to be submitted with a triangle in a sweaty 5th round with 90 seconds left. Thats what JJ can do! GSP just broke Koschecks orbital bone and dominated him with jabs.

[bearychitect]

@FUSSYMUAYTHAI My point is that the best fighters in the world use fundamentals to gain title shots, win championships, and defend them. I rest my case.

[Ballscunt69]

Your not protecting your exposed side of your face when your kicking.

2:56 One good punch and your out! Bring that left hand to cover the exposed side of your face while you right hand moves out to gain momentum and power to push through your opponent.

Not protecting the exposed side of your face with the left hand while doing a right kick is useless. You may as well place that hand behind your back when you kick. It's there for a reason, use it.

[k3nd4lll]

@Ballscunt69 wtf u talking about?? He is covering with his left hand as he kicks..

[Ballscunt69]

@k3nd4lll Yeah, hes left side of his face.

It's usless since his left side of the face isnt facing the opponent.

Go to 2:56

[k3nd4lll]

@Ballscunt69 at 2:56 his right extended hand should be able to keep the distance from his opponent shouldnt it?

[Ballscunt69]

@k3nd4lll Yes, but it doesn't block a hook or overhand right.

He should have his right hand out aswell as his left hand covering the side of the face facing the opponent.

[hendrixian1]

@Ballscunt69 Yeah random youtuber user! You teach that crummy muay thai world champion how to fight. What does he know....right.

I can't beieve the sheer stupidity of some people on here. I might as well go onto a mozart video and tell him he shouldn't have played an A minor chord in that section of his song because the local teacher in my home town said it's useless and sounds bad.

If you think you're in a better position to teach it post a vid. and show me your HW world title

[everson9090]

@hendrixian1 Right on man. Some people think they no best, even if they aren't an authority on it. It is nice to see someone put them right back in their place.

[iAMcooooooool]

Thank you so much for this.

[chibraxial]

Interesting

Thank you

[marcosolbon]

awesome explanation... thats what i call an internet class!!

[caspcasecasp]

I want to see this teacher get his ass kicked. Thumbs up if you feel the same, it's okay realy.

[BHDUndeadSolider]

shin gaurds are for pussys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cruzander]

@BHDUndeadSolider Shin guards are for people who don't want to hurt their sparring partner. If you run out of sparring partners, then you're just kicking bags.

[BHDUndeadSolider]

@cruzander thats why u condition your shins u idiot

[cruzander]

@BHDUndeadSolider Conditioning your shins doesn't keep you from being able to walk from tking leg kicks you drooling retard. You've never done a fucking thing but run your mouth online anyway so I don't expect you to understand.

[BHDUndeadSolider]

@cruzander watch the video where one guy throws a round kick and it snaps in half cause he didnt condition his shin like the other guy.

[cruzander]

@BHDUndeadSolider That doesn't have anything to do with why thai fighters wear shin pads to train WITH SPARRING PARTNERS. Because kicks to the leg will make you lose training time. If you want to get better, you need to train a couple of times a week. And you can't do that if your thighs are all bruised up. Even with shin conditioning, bones break when you're kicking each other bone on bone, just like people break their hands even if they do lots of makiwara work.

[Og3990]

bas rutten is better

[annuitcoeptis2008]

Jesus, you may as well wear flowery skirts and I would not be able to tell the difference.

[magnumcr00k]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Jesus, u are watching the wrong video go watch MMA this is Muay Thai, thats a Muay Thai Shorts.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 They're Muay Thai shorts stupid

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 you must wear one of those skirts yourself. That is why you are offended. Wear real clothes for man you fucking fag.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Wow, so is that what you're going to do? Throw around elementary insults when I show how stupid you are?

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 sorry nigger.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 So that is what you're going to do I see

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 black and fag. you are fucked. Sorry for you "man"

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 What are you even trying to say? Or can you not put together a coherent sentence?

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 I am surprise that you can actually spell coherent. Wow. I am actually surprise that you can type on a keyboard. Where did you learn that, Monkey University? hahahaha.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Ooh nice one. You realise what you said made no sense, so you decide to attack my near perfect English.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 Jesus Christ!!! you are still here? Don't you have a job or something else to do? Oh, I forgot, your kind depends on the welfare system. Never mind. Go collect your food stamps and buy yourself some fried chicken. Have a nice Sunday.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Thank you, but I loathe fried chicken. Not to mention you're criticising me for not having a job yet you're talking to me also.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 well, I happen to be working. I am a graphic designer. I am very sure you don't know what that is but anyway, that is not the point. I don't know what to do about you anymore. I tried blocking you but it does not work. Go to church or something. You remind me of a fruit fly.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Why would I go to church? I don't believe in god

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 so you can have a place to socialize. Watching pornography online and sending messages on youtube to cool, nice, intelligent and decent people like me cannot be healthy for you. You have to be with other kids your age. i have no clue how old you are but based on your comments you are probably 18 or 19. OK kid, be good and don't talk to strangers on the street.

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 I love how you have this egotistical attitude about yourself, calling me a "black faggot" because you couldn't tell the difference between skirts and Muay Thai shorts.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 why did you have to call me stupid? You could just have let me know in an appropriate manner that I was ignorant and you could have educated me on the skirt subject. Instead you called me stupid. that is what you get. Just on a side note, I do not hate blacks nor fags. My heroes are Martin Luther King and Leonardo Da Vinci. Now, I don't give a fuck about what you think so you can go a fuck yourself. How is that? Happy now?

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 I called you stupid because it was warranted. Not to mention your reaction was far from appropriate.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 Oh, now you are the offended one. Poor you. I am really sorry I offended your little feelings. Do you want compensation now? What would you like, a joint? It just crossed my mind that you may actually be in prison. Why are you in jail? What did you steal this time?

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Hmm you made quite a bit of assumptions in that reply, none of them being true. If you think a fail troll as yourself would get to me you're very wrong.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 I got you from the very first comment you sent me. Now, you say I made assumptions and all that but you still care enough to let me know they are not true. So I got you twice wether you like it or not. You lost. I am getting ready to go to the gym because unlike other people I have things to do. Do you guys have a gym in prison. (violin music playing in the background).

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 What do you mean by "I got you"?

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 obviously you are still very green. If you don't get it you don't get it. Your reply proves my point. How old are you , 12?

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Wow. You're an amateur troll, I can tell. First you result to the noob tactic of trying to make the person mad by telling them you made them mad, now you're resorting to calling me 12.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 are you really that dumb bro? hehehehe. I'll start speaking your language so maybe you can understand right bro?

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 The meaning of this reply eludes me, as it has nothing to do with what I said last.

[annuitcoeptis2008]

@LiNaK37 oh wow, you sound so amazing. Now you want to sound as if you had some level of education. Where did you steal that line from?

[LiNaK37]

@annuitcoeptis2008 Steal that line from? What are you talking about?

[majinjoe1936]

an absolute beautiful demonstration of a low kick

your little details have helped me develop a better understanding of how the kick all comes together

[killerneon302]

just like the length of the video... id rather use a .357

[djrejason]

maho !

[rama6maiden]

i have been training boxing for a couple of months now and i wanna learn how to kick but when i do whats told in this video i drop my guard, why is that??

[be329connor]

@rama6maiden it helps gain power , it helps throw your whole body into the kick , he doesnt mention that but thats one of the main purposes of doing that

[kaydoy15]

wait a second if you drop or step, won't ur opponent read the movement and then counter. someone please give me advice on how to properly excute a muay thai kick.

[H0useMouse]

Shouldn't full contact have no equipment but a jock strap for them men? I understand they're just demonstrating, but if it's a full contact art, practice without equipment, unless you intend to spar with 100% no?

[atnassir911]

@H0useMouse No, most people training use instep pads because they protect your sparring partner and yourself from getting hurt when you kick each other, these kicks can do damage. The only sports I know of off the top of my head that you can actually go full contact are those of the rolling/wrestling type like wrestling, sambo, brazilian jiu jitsu, and judo, because although these sports are dangerous they can be practiced at "full contact" without endangering yourself or your training partner.

[H0useMouse]

@atnassir911 Kyokushin. We spar very hard without any equipment. For me, as soon as you put on gloves and whatnot it's semi-contact, even if you're practicing full contact moves. It's understandable that you wear pads when you practice full contact kick so that you don't get injured, but then it's not full contact.

[TheEliteMarine]

duke roufus looks like one badass motherfucker!

[chipotlex]

Awesome videos, thanks Duke. 

[GaxAngel]

The key to this is full penetration, that's where I've been going wrong all these years.

[koalalumpar]

the guy in red looks like puck from glee..

[koalalumpar]

this actually made me suscribed

[76Gazz]

These are the ONLY videos on YouTube that are teaching Muay Thai striking correctly! Dukes first class!

[geebanhunter]

This instructor is great

[KingoftheGods123]

They are wearing funny clothes..

[cleoluvrats]

best trainer on youtube so far

[SleepingPeace]

This instructor is great. Doesn't just demonstrate and talk out his ass. He explains each and every part of the move and explains the reason for each. Learn from these videos peeps.

[MyDormantSoul]

I tried doing hard kicks like that on my punching bag, but it just seems to hurt my shins really bad. I ended up putting a dent in my shin; but isn;t that supposed to be the best part to hit with? what am I doing wrong?

[SleepingPeace]

@MyDormantSoul Eventually, those nerves will die and it will no longer hurt. Keep it up.

[D26808]

LOL How anyone in their right minds try to correct this guy? He actually has fought in the ring and most of the people that are trying to correct him probably never in set foot in one.

[justforpoox]

these kicks suck. it doesnt take more that one or two of these to disable a leg for awhile they hurt.

[justforpoox]

@crawford8991 dude calm your shit down. i meant recieving these kicks suck. check the context of what i wrote. take a deep breath, but remove the cock from your mouth first other wise you might choke.

[nhbmartialarts]

this dude is tough!

[unclepudge]

dude....you also forgot to up your knee in the beginning of the REAL muay thai low kick then turn the body.

[martymendoza]

beautiful teaching everything you said was textbook truth

[bondsan]

@martymendoza agreed

[MiljasXx]

he says to chop down on the kick..but he doesnt even do it.. he cuts up

[flatpat1]

Great instructor!

[Matismatt]

Most of the unfamiliar MM demonstration I label as BS. Not this. Makes perfect sense.

[kotheghost]

"Full Penetration"

[adogie45]

@kotheghost thats what she said =)

[pitbull103]

A lot of instructors will recommend that those hands stay high and tight during the low kick, although I tend to agree with Roufus.

[xixelfboyxix]

The small step is dual sided, it throws more power because it transfers your weight, but it also exposes your kick. I've seen it effective either way, I favor the step because it can also be used as a feint to set up another strike.

[44rumblefish]

"Great" instruction. I would love your advise on the Best way to prepare the shins for maximum impact.

[44rumblefish]

"Great" instruction. I would love your advise on the Best way to prepare the shins for maximum impact.

[MyRosaryRomance]

everything he said is right of course...but he seems like hed be an asshole teacher lol

[chisik51]

that by now the best low kick tutorial i found on youtube!

[sybrenkoninckx]

i know this already =p muay thai is pretty hard training end painfull too=d =P

[Excitedlybored]

[az09983]

[numthai68]

ROUFUS VS KIETSONGRIT - ROUND 4

why you teaching muay Thai now. Was you the one talking muay have no skills. Please stay way from Muay Thai leave to expert. stick with your TKD teaching.

[WAH10ler]

jeff roufuss

it doesnt take much skill to kick som1 in the leg

welll wtf are u doing now

[UFChalo123]

great video.very helpful.10/10

[yardkyle]

what is he talking about this kick being different from all other martial arts. it is different from some....... they use this exact same kick in sanda.

he's talking like MT is more powerful than all other styles. most styles you kick all the way through the target, not just to it.....unless it is a point based martial art

[arsenalfootballuk]

duke your a legend

[ASSBANG6969]

I practice this move on my neighbors Cat...

[iLuvHardStyle]

lol

[tinygangster66]

@ASSBANG6969 i practoce this move on ur moms ass its soft and round

[ASSBANG6969]

@tinygangster66 Well tiny-dick, you are a "Gangster"...that's odd, I remember your toothless mom putting skirts and training bra for the talent show, you were sooo pretty. As an adult, Cross-Dressing is an art, you are Picasso...the only move I practice on your mom, is keeping my distance, her false teeth kept falling out everytime she offered to SUCK me. Your Gay dad was worse, he wore more make-up than a Circus Clown. TinyGangster Dick, i hope to see you at the club starting night.

[johncena271]

@ASSBANG6969  lolol xD

[47kerley]

@ASSBANG6969 i did this to your momma faggot

[ASSBANG6969]

@47kerley MOE, LARRY, & KERLEY.....or Your MOM, DAD & YOU! Mom Slaps Dad Silly, at the same time Pulls your Hair.....yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk,.....

[Chocho5983]

MMA kick's loll funny and u kick with the whole body in kyokushin

[travelinron]

The main difference between a kyokushin and muay thai leg kick has to do with punching to the head. A lot of kyokushin fighters end up standing directly in front of their opponent and not stepping out to the side. In Muay thai you'd be trading a leg kick for a punch to the face - bad trade.

[freshboy202]

you are suppost to try to kick through your opponet(Y) nice nigg

[TheKlaj1992]

thanks man that really helped me out, great explanation and demonstration (Y) 5/5

[danieljuliolanyon]

WOW EXCELENT :)
