"One really last time." Haha!

[cleon415]

In muay thai, you throw your hand to rotate your body for more momentum on a kick.

His Good Habit----one more time, one more time, one more time, one last time, one real last time!

@Drigoroth It gives the katana a greater effect due to it STABILIZING the sword.

The reaction of your hand is due to your body becoming unbalanced - due to Newtons Law of Motion.

It feels wierd not throwing your hand back - but it does indeed increase your power due to a more body being thrown into it (ie shoulders / upper torso). Throwing your hands is a bad habit. Osu!

You getter a much greater range of motion with much more body mass if you don't throw the arm back - Try it out yourself ^_^.

@corvanjer Also, if it matters, I practice Kung Fu.

@corvanjer I don't think you ever heard of push/pull? every action has an equal and opposite reaction? My arm swinging is the reaction to the action of me kicking.

Ever see how a samurai swings a katana? You may believe it travels straight, but before contact, the wielder will push his top hand forward, and bring his bottom hand towards himself, i.e push/pull

this helps to create a greater effect in the swing, causing more power in that split second.

So swinging your arm does create power.

@cleon415 Throwing your hand does nothing more then actually hinder your kick, create bad habits, and acts as a natural stabilizer.

The principle is there sure. But it really does hinder your kick - If you learn to keep your hands up, you're going to find that you're going to be throwing your shoulder into the kick more often.

Muay thai tends to throw the arm back - not for momentum but a means of moving the head out of reach of the opponent. But due to this leaves a massive unprotected target

Girl has terrible technique

@SirSpun13 I Totally understand tht.To me it still depends on the person. idk if ur into MMA but look at someone like Anderson Silva. He's a muay thai expert and his striking is disgustingly fast. Kicks included. I think it's all about mastery. But yeah i definitely see where ur coming from.

@cleon415

That is true that JKD is a philosophy, but in that philosophy it teaches you to get the job done as you said but without letting the opponent know what you're going to do before you do it. I guess that is more of what I meant. I really dislike Muay Thai for its telegraphicness...

[cleon415]

@SirSpun13 I was just answering dude above me's question on why she may be doing tht.Personally tho, i dont think one style can beat out another tho. To me they're 2 very different things anyway. JKD is more a philosophy of doing what you can and doing it fast. Where Muay Thai is a fixed style. The philosophy comes from who's using it imo. U can have someone who wants to be flashy, or u can have someone who wants to get the job done. Muay Thai fighters can get it done. Thts just my opinion tho.

[SirSpun13]

@cleon415

And that's extremely telegraphic, which is why JKD will beat out Muay Thai.
