Leg Break Thai Kickboxing

Decided to fight again after 20 years and severely broke my leg. It wasn't connected when I tried to put my foot down after the kick. I heard the crack, though "that sounds bad" when I tried to put my foot down my eye level dropped six inches lower thasn it should and I saw my heal coming towards me out of the corner of my eye so I threw myself on my back. You see me starting to try to take my gloves off cause I knew it was all over :o(

How has yours healed? I have residual trauma in so much as the toes dont bend and the ankle is stiff and painful. I generally ignore it though and it sort of lets me. I still have the metal rod through the shinbone. Back training hard now too. I could have done with two rounds to shake off the cobwebs.

To avoid this, choose your targets when doing leg kicks. This was an amatuer fight and I was keeping poiints up. Watch my pro fights and you will see a massive difference in the quantity of leg kicks and the timing. I must have caused a hair line fracture in the first round and the hard lef kick four kicks into the second round will have snaped it at that point. Conditining will mainly turn down the pain volume but will of course help. Good luck with yoiur fights.

Damn, thats sad and freaks me out.... hope you will be ok.. i am a kickboxer too... well im just a kid yet...17 years... but how did u broke it .... i dont want it to happen to me too :S ...

Too many consecutive low kicks and kicking too hard to the legs. Should have kept the low kicks just as point scorers and would have been OK. Use the power kicks to body and head & you'll be fine and have fun. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy.

Hi Aidan, Julie here, happy new year to you! Managed to find this video finally. I don't think I can watch it again, that was mad!! I'm gonna have to show George though :-)

Hope you are keeping well, take care!!

@aidanpiers does the metal rod make your kicks hurt more?

@kaindrg

yes,it happen often. its usually happens when the powerful kick against the leg snaps the bone clean. Theres no way to prevent it other than quitting which isnt an option if youre the best of the best. Round one looked a clean fight,it was just the kick that did the accident. hope that helped:)

I used to kickbox for my county and even went over to thialand,but i broke my leg exactly how you did. Theres no way to stop it,its just the power of the kick against a rockhard muscle. Its an awesome thing to take up butpisstaking when stuff like this happens. It looked like a good fight in round one though. :)

Jesus, that happened even with shin guards on? I might need to take it easy with my power kicks.
