Why is the dude extending his hand as he checks the kick? I was trained to make a barrier from the foot to the hand which is on the back of my head by breaking the knee to the elbow. (Point toe down)
the coach reminds me of myself when i studied the art for only 3 months... dont twist ur head like that..more hip rotation..and be aware of flailing your arms around when kicking.. and again i do not claim to be a master or anything,, just point out the errors so you can correct them
The teacher sucks at his technique, he says to his student to twirl on his toes while kicking but when you look at his foot when kicking, he doesn't turn shit
Also that pushing back thing while blocking the low kick, isn't ever gonna work in a Match
But everyone takes the guard down while kicking... u are totally vulnerable to counterpunches... i disagree on that point. For the rest, great technique :D
@OnRodi Baran eto tot, kto tebe objasnil, chto takoe trening i chto est' boj. Imitacija maximal'no priblizhena k real'nomu boju, no vsio zhe eto ne boj, smyslu v obmane netu v imitacii, tak ili net? =)
@TheElfucko 19-20 great age, it's NEVER too late to learn...But the younger you are - the easier you learn, that is true as far as I know. Go for it man!
the fool in the begin has his arms fuckin low.. if he fights against me like that i will spank his ass within 5 seconds... and let the teacher just sneez with his head haha:D
I noticed that jerk his head does.. When in stance, eye contact is necessary, if the opponent sees you creating an abnormal movement with your head, they'll use it as a weakness. If you blink every time you throw a punch or jerk your head every time you kick, they'll be able to read you pretty easily.. Well that's my logic from learning "Sanda"
its like weight lifters turned muay thai; very rigid and inflexible, with zero grace and awful american style technique such as "eat the kick"... I fuckin' dare you to "eat" my leg kick, you'll be eating a right elbow after it.
ephasm is perfectly good . and i dont know but...om...omg...the "teacher" the black " muay thai man" .. how teach you on videos..so...when he kick his head do a round..or ...like a spiral at 0:18-0:21.. :d
i find it funny how some people comment saying this and that oh hes not doing it right blah blah blah. um whos the expert him or you guys?? get in the ring with him and see how you take one ov his kicks
Lol i totally agree with you, none of these guy look to be at a fighter level. The instructors technique especially on his kicks are shocking lol. You can tell that with out looking at his standing leg, considering hes not a small guy theres just no power lol. I dont think the level of Muay Thai is very good in the U.S.A (i dont know tho) but i know the level is good in Scotland after watching a few Scotish shows. Im trained by Steve Wakeling :) hopeing to fight professionally soon!! x
Ah nice! What gyms that? I was down in Leeds at the beginning of the month corenering one of our fighters for an 8 man tournament run by Pegasus. I'm fighting in February - train at Sit Ayuthaya under stevie nisbet
Paul Grant. He beat Phil Burke in the first round then the coach stevie wouldn't let him continue cos he started bein sick and shit in the changin room. He wasn't really feelin well before the fight and was quite dizzy and stuff. I think he's matched with Pegasus' Chris Wray to fight on the same show as me in February now and if he wins that (which I'm confident of) my coach is talking about matching him with Oborotov for a European title, hopefully in June.
It'll be in hamilton in scotland. Just outside of glasgow. Yeah, paul is a beast. Lol broke my left arm when I blocked a head kick about 3 years ago when we were sparring. He's a monster lol.
first kick at the leg, you hit him, as you trie to him again he knows and he will block, then is the time to kick him at the other leg and he will fall
Excellent. Yin-Yang. No matter the fighting style every strike, kick or technique has its strength and weakness. Respect to the instructor who teaches in this.
You see around the 0:30 mark that his left arm, the guard arm is on the wrong side of the head, it should be on the right side, as you life your elbow tocover the right side. Ive lived and trained in Thaialnd about 5 times now for 3 months a go. And am a certified Ajarn. Not that that That means anything really I suppose, anyone can claim it, so take it for what its worth. But he is fairly close to correct there.
Yes you drop your kicking arm and move the opposite accros to double duty as hear protection for both sides. his student seems to not use the guards right, but yes, thats the way you kick. And dont try to argue its tech, its already proven the most effective and powerful roundhouse of all arts.
I'm sure being a muay thai champ and all, he probably knows what's he's doing better than an internet warrior like yourself. He can also probably type a coherent sentence.
It's possible that dropping the guard would encourage the opponent to attack regardless of reason. I've seen Miriko Cro cop do it, and when the opponent attacked, the opponent went straight into a knee or a kick in the stomach or neck.
umm. yes. seeing as they have videos of themselves training in mauy thai and you dont?...this would never happen because you wouldnt fight them..your just on the internet.
I want to see more heads snaping left to right. You should always take your eyes of the target and keep alot of tension in your neck and shoulders. Oh, and spit when you do it, it looks more LA street.
what do you mean, "If he was kicking properly he would be rolling his shoulders enough that it keeps us away from that hook. The way that is being demonstrated here the kick would connect?" I do not understand what you are trying to tell us please clarify.
I'm a boxer, definately not an expert on Muay Thai... But logic tells me his right hand should not be dropping as he kicks as it leaves him wide open for a hook.
i'm a muay thai guy although not an expert and throwing the hand back produces more power, the shoulder is rolled up to protect the chin. the head moves back out of range and then down to the side and if you throw a hook you can't block the kick if you miss.
You are correct. The question is about timing and distance. According to your skill level and the opponents. You have to fuck up really bad the timing/distance/situation to get hit by a hook while kicking. Though sometimes the opponent can be skillufl enough.
Consider this for a moment. I as a MT guy could say that logic dictates that the philly shell defensive style leaves you wide open because the other hand is not up. But you as a boxer probably know that properly executed it's not true.
You are definately right about the skill/timing/distance. I've boxed for 8 years but always wanted to learn Muay Thai, it's some badass stuff.
This trainer needs to focus on better form I guess. His ridiculous head twitch, and it doesn't seem like he's covering his chin with his shoulder as he kicks.... Really he's wide open for any counter. Pause it at 0:15
I'm super fucking bored so here is some more. You can actually see the hook "counter" happening in a very high level match here watch?v=cF9zkWUYNyk&feature=related at 4:00. The thais taditionally swing a bit both of their hands.
So it's not impossible but hard to do or someone has to suck a lot!
Man now I'm definitively a youtube warrior after commenting this much. Damn. KIAAA!
If you drop your hand you generate a lot more power but your wide open.
If you keep your hands up you dont generate as much but your protected.
Muay Thai is an offensive martial art, your always coming at the enemy, so it makes sense that their techniques are more offense based.
My only problem with Muay Thai is that a lot of them dont rotate there shoulders when throwing a roundhouse kick, but I guess thats more based off the practitioner and not the art.
I'm practising Cambodian Boxing for 3 years now which is pretty much the same as muay thai (and the other Fighting Arts around there like the one from Laos) our Trainer is original from Cambodia and fought there. He always tells us to keep the block up when kicking.
I personally agree with this idea. If trained properly, a kick can still generate great power with keeping up the guard. The key is proper training, balance, and speed. Now keep in mind this is my opinion based on how I train, but I feel it is a valid point to make. Your teacher seems like he knows his stuff, keep up the training friend! God bless...Peace
If he was kicking properly he would be rolling his shoulders enough that it keeps us away from that hook. They way that's being demonstrated here you would absolutely catch him with it.
this trainer should work on his own technique a bit more before teaching a student absolute shit. Everyone obviously noticed his stupid head twitch while kicking but look where he keeps his right hand while checking the kick. thatchin is wide open, even worse though is the fact his student is doing it too.
His are is at his opponents shoulder which stops the opponent from throwing an effective punch or you could block it up, and the other is close to the face to block a hook, just cause your hands rent in you face all day doesn't mean your not blocking
this lessons will helps you if you're alredy trining muay thai but if you're not their is nothing that you can do just look ta your monitor is isn't sufficient that's wy you must train if you realy like this sport
What the FUCK is that instructor doing with his head EVERY time he kicks??? Trying to give himself whiplash so that his opponent will feel sorry for him when he knocks himself out?! AWESOME strategy...The Pity Defense!!!
@angerfizzzt95 He's trying to look slick, which would result in his own ass being kicked. Lowers his hands when he kicks. A real fighter would put out his lights poste haste.
It is not the greatest. It alone is worthless if you are taken to the ground, also it is not often taught with defense in mind. Few to no "dirty" fighting techniques.
of course muy thai isnt easy exactly but u really want a challenge look at the more traditional muy thai martial arts instead of muy thai boxing like muy thai boran or muy thai chiaya and the others i can think of right now
I like the video! About people who leave comments that claim to be superior, see, they're just giving their opinion on the video, and they should have a right to do that, shouldn't they? We're all here to learn more about Muay Thai, and we can only do that when everyone exchanges their ideas and thoughts with each other.
P.S. Guys, if you know a thing or two about kickboxing, please give me (and others) some help on different aspects of it at KickboxersCommunityDotBlogspotDotCom. Thanks!
because eveyone here is so called expert im gonna say im a beginner and am watching these vids to help me learn not criticise the PROFESIONAL instructor
im new to this muay thai so give me sum slack iv noticed wen he blocks that kick how high his feet are y not go under his feet and kick his side of his knee to knock him down
He's blocking a kick to the liver with a low kick block. That's not really how you're supposed to block a kick like that. If you block a kick like that, your feet on the leg that blocks wouldn't rise above your knee.
Normally you would block a kick to the liver your arms or just move towards your opponent when he kicks. The guy that's training the students here isn't a really good fighter. At least not with a lot of ring experience. Otherwise you would never train your students like that.
I know How you feel man, Lol Im signing up for a Kickboxing/Muay Thai Class and Im worried about sucking hard, But ofcourse everyone was bad at one point right? It all takes time Nobody starts Perfect :)
dude i was bad dude the first year i was 2-10 then i said i won't ever lose agian train everyday taught myself pain in 3 years im 49-14 soon to be 50-14 my last fight may 17th then im not doing muy thai anymore because dude it suxxs getting knocked out like everything is in slo mo vision starts to get blurry u can hear ur heartbeat inside ur ear and u have a painful stabbing feeling in your head and the breath leaves and u fight to gain it back but u can't then u pass out. Ull get beta practice
The one hand down is to counter the violent rotation. It prevents the lost of balance from over-rotation. The gain maximum power, the hip must rotate full blast. If you don't put that other hand down, you will probably fall off and be opened to counters. The other hand must block the important parts. Just like when you throw a jab, the other hand that's up must block the important parts.
yeah thas some real Muay thai there man. Our sensei teaches us MMA tho and he teaches us to keep our hands up. But it just wut he does from experience. eh is professional Mixed martial artist so i guess it wont hurt to listen to him lol. but i get the idea behind the counter -weight of pulling th e hand down.
The higher he brings that leg to block, the more counter balancing he does. The winding up is all about power and defense. As he takes the kick and raises that hand, he is readying himself to throw "through" his opponent.
I love this guys training i have taken down guys 2 times my size with this guys drills! I am 140 pounds . I wish i could train with him!

You are correct. The question is about timing and distance. According to your skill level and the opponents. You have to fuck up really bad the timing/distance/situation to get hit by a hook while kicking. Though sometimes the opponent can be skillufl enough.

Man now I'm definitively a youtube warrior after commenting this much. Damn. KIAAA!

If you drop your hand you generate a lot more power but your wide open.
If you keep your hands up you dont generate as much but your protected.
Muay Thai is an offensive martial art, your always coming at the enemy, so it makes sense that their techniques are more offense based.
My only problem with Muay Thai is that a lot of them dont rotate there shoulders when throwing a roundhouse kick, but I guess thats more based off the practitioner and not the art.

I'm practising Cambodian Boxing for 3 years now which is pretty much the same as muay thai (and the other Fighting Arts around there like the one from Laos) our Trainer is original from Cambodia and fought there. He always tells us to keep the block up when kicking.

I personally agree with this idea. If trained properly, a kick can still generate great power with keeping up the guard. The key is proper training, balance, and speed. Now keep in mind this is my opinion based on how I train, but I feel it is a valid point to make. Your teacher seems like he knows his stuff, keep up the training friend! God bless...Peace

If he was kicking properly he would be rolling his shoulders enough that it keeps us away from that hook. They way that's being demonstrated here you would absolutely catch him with it.

this trainer should work on his own technique a bit more before teaching a student absolute shit. Everyone obviously noticed his stupid head twitch while kicking but look where he keeps his right hand while checking the kick. thatchin is wide open, even worse though is the fact his student is doing it too.

His are is at his opponents shoulder which stops the opponent from throwing an effective punch or you could block it up, and the other is close to the face to block a hook, just cause your hands rent in you face all day doesn't mean your not blocking

@angerfizzzt95 He's trying to look slick, which would result in his own ass being kicked. Lowers his hands when he kicks. A real fighter would put out his lights poste haste.

correction: muay thai is A GREAT martial art.
It is not the greatest. It alone is worthless if you are taken to the ground, also it is not often taught with defense in mind. Few to no "dirty" fighting techniques.

of course muy thai isnt easy exactly but u really want a challenge look at the more traditional muy thai martial arts instead of muy thai boxing like muy thai boran or muy thai chiaya and the others i can think of right now
harlemkid7 2 years ago
I like the video! About people who leave comments that claim to be superior, see, they're just giving their opinion on the video, and they should have a right to do that, shouldn't they? We're all here to learn more about Muay Thai, and we can only do that when everyone exchanges their ideas and thoughts with each other.
P.S. Guys, if you know a thing or two about kickboxing, please give me (and others) some help on different aspects of it at KickboxersCommunityDotBlogspotDotCom. Thanks!
Cheers!

im new to this muay thai so give me sum slack iv noticed wen he blocks that kick how high his feet are y not go under his feet and kick his side of his knee to knock him down
anthonyguitar1591 2 years ago
He's blocking a kick to the liver with a low kick block. That's not really how you're supposed to block a kick like that. If you block a kick like that, your feet on the leg that blocks wouldn't rise above your knee.
Normally you would block a kick to the liver your arms or just move towards your opponent when he kicks. The guy that's training the students here isn't a really good fighter. At least not with a lot of ring experience. Otherwise you would never train your students like that.

What is the point in putting a hand on his chest
and one hand down ?
Concretenjeffro 3 years ago
The one hand down is to counter the violent rotation. It prevents the lost of balance from over-rotation. The gain maximum power, the hip must rotate full blast. If you don't put that other hand down, you will probably fall off and be opened to counters. The other hand must block the important parts. Just like when you throw a jab, the other hand that's up must block the important parts.
LegDestroyer 3 years ago 2
yeah thas some real Muay thai there man. Our sensei teaches us MMA tho and he teaches us to keep our hands up. But it just wut he does from experience. eh is professional Mixed martial artist so i guess it wont hurt to listen to him lol. but i get the idea behind the counter -weight of pulling th e hand down.
vespaman101 2 years ago
Counter balancing and winding up.
The higher he brings that leg to block, the more counter balancing he does. The winding up is all about power and defense. As he takes the kick and raises that hand, he is readying himself to throw "through" his opponent.
