The Michael Jackson MMA Kick

[tonbonthemon]

that guy on the left has some chicken legs syndrome going on right there

[777philip]

I like the Michael Jackson kick I teach it a little differently but this is still good and gives me another variation of the same technique so thanks!

[TheBroseidon123]

The teep variation was originated by Bas Rutten back in Pancrase.

[RNC4690]

nice try taking credit for this erik paulson, everyone knows this technique was invented by master steven seagal

[ruff1982]

NICE TRICK!! all

nice tricks in your instructionals!

[randomperson110]

my bad let me try to re-phrase that , after the first kick , which is a rear leg cutting kick . the closest weapon would be the lead leg . now i don't usually tend to kick high because sometimes it's hard to manage balance with the impact of a high kick . so i'd use a lead leg front kick to the solar plexus . being the closest weapon it will get there faster and if after the first kick he takes the impact and gets angry , which happens often , he'll run right into that front kick.

[jaffar1808]

Wow guy you have a high voice with suburban like speech!lol. I don't know what I think about this clip but paulsons striking classes are more than legit !

[15975322]

instead of the TSH sound (Exhaling when kicking) Make a "SHHHA-monah"

[blackwolfs2]

Brazil!!!

[ShinkaTV]

That's so funny, that's what I call it when I teach it to my students too. We generally use a push kick instead of the snap, but yeah. (moonwalks away)

[MrDjpay]

that teep dont have the maximum power so it will not injory the fighter at all ..

[Liamdonoghueownsyou]

@MrDjpay a teep to the face doesnt need power to hurt tbh

[franznsx]

Anderson Silva must've seen this.

[Jrgong757]

The belfort killa

[justinloc187]

csw

[TheSJkid]

this reminds me of the kick anderson silva just used on vitor belfort

[brottarnacke]

yihii!

[liehood]

lol the michael jackson kick and now the moonwalk kick plz

[YungJuve]

i watched bas rutten throw the push kick variation. very effective

[LittleBoiFen]

Shamone!!

[SausageMcBurger]

what i do is fake the kick and punch it works

[RSSouljiBill]

is that a trany?

[itsmeatwad1992]

@RSSouljiBill no, a cross dresser, that could kick both of our asses

[NAKMEEZY]

Saenchai does this kick. Nice vid. Check my Saenchai vid for a similar kick.

[firefurzz]

The blonde haired guys just standin there like..ughh i need a job lol

[chisik51]

Hey what happens if he's hooking his right hand to counter your kick?

[Dvalb]

3:38 surprised me:P

[DanaWhiteLOL]

this is what james irvin did vs anderson silva, and look at what happend to him.....

[805dizzle]

WTF!!! are you talkng about.

[unbeatenMMArtist24]

My first fight When i didn't know Shit i Tried a Funky Kick and Missed horrible getting Taken Down But The match had already Been over

[lhkjk]

RIP MICHAEL "PETER PAN" JACKSON

[ninjablack95]

hey could you use this as a counter say he goes in for a 1 2 and u step oustside to dodge the right hand and kick him im a begginer

[KJGould]

You can also thrust kick from Savate. Half way through the Thai kick, pivot the supporting foot away and turn it into a Sidekick (underside of heel) to the body. That or oblique kick (stomp) the supporting leg

[fvaletudo06]

i like this technique

[halford99]

I love Michael but that Kick is called Mae Geri and has nothing to do with him

[Daenio1993]

I don't care.

[openmicsurgery]

yeah but only in karatedo. ;]

[RacoonBurglar]

@halford99 mae geri in Japanese can be interpreted as frontal diarrhea, i'm serious

[iwanttofight69]

nice

[MaskedMarv]

Nice!

I liked this one.

Shamone!

[hapki]

Great honest informatio!!!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSandmanTv]

Hey Brian why dont u fight anymore u seem like you cuda been a badass mma fighter?, you obviously have the knowledge to beat alota guys

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

I tell you what. Ask me that question on our forums at DamageControlMMA,com and I'll be more than happy to answer you.

[MrSandmanTv]

Deal

[54thAggressors]

@TakingItToTheMMAT how about you take your forums and shove it up your ass, the reason he does not fight is because he spends too much time on his forums

[xSilkify]

@TakingItToTheMMAT What is your height? not to be offensive or something

[jamiegee123]

@TakingItToTheMMAT briannnn :( answer on here lol

[TRiiiGER26]

Good option.

[mehrdadofsky]

I'm not a fan of this technique, but it can really damage if your badass at timing and sprawling

[ImIr0n]

What does that even mean???

[mehrdadofsky]

i did that at sparing and i got taken down esily. just a personal opinion.

[elbowtko]

You really have to set it up. He has to be committed to the blocking. Also do the teep, not the snap front kick...those are easier to catch.

[dollente9]

Yeah,

Cant you injure your foot when you see how he reacts to your kick?

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

Not really, unless you don't know how to control yourself. You're not committing, it's just a light flick disguised as a fast committed kick.

[mehrdadofsky]

i guess. but alot of fighters throw leg kicks anyways. so the chance of getting checked (potential injury?maybe?)

is the same. plus when your actually aiming for the leg, you kick harder ...I'm assuming.

[ImIr0n]

again mehr, your comments make no sense.

I dont think you people realize that the leg kick thrown with the foot is not a full kick. It is a feint, trick, hoodwink, fake, of a kick. There is no intention to do any damage to your opponent with it

[mehrdadofsky]

sorry for being an idiot.( for some reason i cant structure my sentences today). i was trying to responding to dollente9's comment, by saying that he will not injure his foot.

[prebirth91]

@dollente9 still hit with your shin. don't hit him with your foot or anything because you can still hurt yourself even if you aren't throwing hard. i think what he's trying to say is just place a correctly thrown kick instead of driving the shin.

also you can flare your kicking leg, step then throw the thai under his checking leg to take out his base. works really well

[MrSandmanTv]

Why isn't this just called a front kick

[tinalafermy]

When is your anatomy of the choke video going up because the prospect excites me more than any women ever could,.

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

We will be releasing it as an exclusive video on our new site: DamageControlMMA,com very soon.

We will not be releasing it on youtube.

[lexus540997]

you don't have enough flexibility to perform a high front snap kick correctly. lol.

[vinomaniac]

Nice . . . .

[Rawlistik]

cant u break your foot doing that

[D26808]

Micheal Jackson kick is lethal!!! I learned this from my instructor but Micheal did this best LMAO!
