One tip that I learned from Thiago Alves that completely changed my kick for the better was to make sure my knee is past the target when the shin lands. The power difference with it is incredible.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown. It seems every video this month has addressed the specific issues I've been experiencing. Incorrectly snapping my kick is something I am guilty of, and your breakdown helped.
I started training a few weeks ago. Hurt my ankles pretty bad by connecting with the wrong part of the leg. I trained karate as a kid and as far as I (and my body) remember we kicked more with ankle and foot rather than shin. It doesn't work well in Muay Thai 😬 Thanks for the explanation, now I know where the problems is and can fix it 👍
Great tips, Kevin. I especially appreciate the explanation of distance. If you can touch your opponent with the lead hand, you can land the roundhouse. Great breakdowns. 👊🏿 🥊
Thank you! I am still working on my kicks! Started MMA back on feb. so still learning. Bjj and Muay Thai. Did some videos on my channel but still making some beginner mistakes this vid really helps.
this and the other video you linked are really good instructional video for theese kicks! thank you, i finally cleared some question in my mind about this technique 😄
Perfect explanation thank you. The problem I still have is i rely heavily on the bag i hit to keep my composure, as soon as i mis the target i loose my composure and i become the bag during sparing XD Can you demonstrate how to recover from a kick when you hit nothing but air. Thank you
I would add more kicks in shadow boxing because the balance, the stamina, body positioning, ligaments are very different when you don't have the bag to catch you and you develop the wrong expectation that your kick will land on a human body the same way when hitting bag. Plus most people got tired way faster when shadow boxing too when try throwing shot with power. Feigning and chambering kick in shadow boxing helps too for more control deep, stable muscle.
You know kevin i might have a sort of gift with physical activities like martial arts, because if you give me techniques i can do easily and effectively then i dont need practice because its already engraved in my head
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, I just watch YT Martial Arts/Combat Sports videos. I think Mistake 3 is not so much a mistake but rather a technique used by Karate particularly Kyokushin where you would Kick with the Ball of the foot which doesn't need as much Power. This technique is quick and snappy because you don't need to worry about turning your hip back after Kicking. You could theoretically use this kick to test the waters before going for the Full Power Thai Kick.

💯💯💯
Cro Cop used that alot for power and messing with people catching his timing too.👍
Can you eloborate?
Yea what is "knee past the target"?

Thank you for your support!!
The tip on having the knees drive forward then rotate hips at the last second is gonna be a game changer vs. swinging the leg around

Muay Thai beginner here: I just found out about your channel right now! I will definitely be trying this on the bag.
Awesome!! Let me know what you think!
@@KevinLeeVlog Especially the one about the hip. That’s been my main issue so far is turning my hip, and you’re right! I have been kicking up.
Do you have any exercises for hip mobility, I find myself struggling with turning my hip over the most!
Actually I do! I posted a RUclips short video the other day. Visit my channel to check it out.
Amazing video brother. I had som questions about round kick, this video explains it all. 🤝
Great Video Lee!

Hey Lee, is that the 7-foot fairtex pole bag? I love it and want to make sure I get that exact bag
Yep!!
Noted.
something #oddlysatisfying about those impactful kicks 3:55

the no snap is very frugal economy of motion

as tkd practitioner, your drawback about snapping looks more like your tkd school had an issue with holding the rechamber too long
That was my first thought too.
Yeah probably! I took the ITA system growing up as a kid. I would love to dive down more into high level TKD in the future!
@@KevinLeeVlog I'd love to watch it! I came up in the Jhoon Rhee style of tkd, so I love seeing all the other kinds that are out there
I prefer to kick what the ankle
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm thankful my Martial arts teacher taught me not to kick with the roof of my foot
