  • Опубликовано: 12 июл 2014
  • Here is the first video of a new fightTIPS series: Trainer's Tip (New upload every Sunday). Here, we talk about improving kick speed by combining more traditional style Taekwondo aspects. A Muay Thai kick is much more harder, meant to build up momentum and power, while a Karate or Taekwondo kick is faster, and more of a linear snap kick.
    GET MORE FIGHT TIPS►full.sc/1bsPRTI
    Combining these two kicks creates the ultimate hybrid kick. You still gain power from the turning of the hips, but by bringing the knee more straight up and snapping the kick sooner, you increase the speed of the kick. Be sure to practice all three types and find what kick is the quickest and works best for you!

    I also noticed that when you did your second kick (the Taekwodo kick), that you pivoted your foot before you did anything else... Which depending on what you do in TKD, and what style of TKD you do, pivoting first is a bad thing. For example: I practice Olympic style Tkd, and if I pivot before anything else, it will advertise to my opponent that I am going to kick, which I don't want to do. An Olympic style round kick starts off with the chamber, the chamber is then followed up by the extension of your kicking leg in a front kick style and then hip flip and pivot all at just about the same time, then once you hit your intended target, you re-chamber your leg. That is for Olympic style Tkd.

      In traditional TKD, you pick up your leg first, and pivot as the kicking leg is coming around.

      I had an idea that that you may already be implementing but how about color coding.
      Speed moves = Red
      Power moves = Green
      Hybrid moves = Orange
      Joints used =circled with corresponding amount of power/speed the joint turns with.
      Pressure/choke moves = Black
      You could use the same colors each week to make it easier to follow along

    • @chrisallistar8007
      @chrisallistar8007 10 лет назад

      luccifer Merk place your left foot on the ground with heel facing your target.This creates accuracy and a natural whip as you spin. This way your not spinning your foot on the ground creating drag and preventing balance.Also doing your kick with a perroit like fazen does will ruin your shoes and scrap your feet if youre bare foot,notice he wears shoes here.Hope I helped Train hard fight easy!Also don't down Fazen he's real helpful!

    • @coolstuff-zr4hz

    • @fernandomendoza798
      @fernandomendoza798 8 лет назад +2

      +DYNAMIC what I'm trying to say is that in tae kwon do you kick with the shin (tibia bone) and the foot. that's how I was taught! and it works really good. I never got my ankle, or foot brocken. and I would spar alot with heavy weights. and clashing shins happens alot.

  • @anthonyfiola3709

    Excellent video, Shane, i have trained Tae kwon do and i become black belt, but i think that not only have to focus on one style of combat, watching your videos i've also learned boxing, Muay Thai, and even watching movies or video games, i have developed other techniques like you said on the video about learn how to fight online, must have variety, take what we learn, train to improve our technique and if you can combine these movements as you did in this video, that is a victory for me.
    You really are an excellent teacher Shane, a fighter never cease to learn and always train to improve himself and push their limits, like Ryu from Street Fighter... it sounds kind of corny, i know, but thanks, Shane, fightTIPS for life!.

    This kick is so cool. I've studied Tae Kwon Do for eight years and this is actually also a traditional kick that we use. We have the faster roundhouse kick to do minor damage and or disorient your opponent and then we have the kick where we turn our hip over to deal with larger opponents and deliver more force

  • @dustinballou9945
    @dustinballou9945 9 лет назад

    good video man, its always good to see people trying to share martial arts experience. Ive been training five years altogether with experience in Muay Thai, tae kwon do, Brazilian jujitsu, judo, and multiple forms of kung fu. A few people have been talking about how to land the kick, and the answer is with the shin. there is nothing to protect the bones in your feet and they are rather small and fragile. not only that but if you land a kick with your foot you can also get injurys like turf toe. that's rough stuff man. the shin is the best weapon for kicks. it is a lot stronger than you foot, and since it is closer to the power source of the kick, the hips, it contains more force than the foot does in a round kick. another point brought about from this video is hand placement during the kicks. during a kick your arms and legs should reflect each others movement. the hand on the side of the kicking leg is generally moved downward as the legs is kicked out while the hand on the side of your base foot should guard the face. the swinging of the arm down while the leg extends causes a more spring like force opposed to holding the hands in place. never let you hands get too far out of control. always try to keep your arms withing reach of your face and body to maximize protection and balance. so when you kick your elbow will lower but your hand will stay close to your body. another point is different people can use different techniques more than others. the maximum power to be made in a kick really matters on the abilities of that persons body. technique is one of the most important factors in the efficiency of a strike. so find a technique that feels right for you and work on it from there to hone it into your most powerful strike.

    I like the way broke down the kick. I practise taekwon-do, I can tell you that in your last 'hydride' was an ideal taekwon-do kick, that is the way advanced practitioners do it. When you snap your hips bring the knee straight up while pivoting all the way around, you will be able to break several boards with a turning kick. And for Marry's sake use a kicking paddle.

  • @philguy93

    glad some other mentioned the arms. when i used to practice roundhouses with my taekwondo/kickboxing instructor if i threw one and my arms looked like that he side stepped and got me in the gut, head, etc. plus ive known a few thai fighters who say you don't rotate all the way through a kick like that because your'e exposing your back to your opponent. if you miss or they anticipate it they own you.

    Very interesting Shane. I REALLY like these analytical type videos, as they are thought provoking - just so long as you are willing to entertain other ideas in the comments.
    I think that this video is really examining the question, "Just how hard do I NEED to kick when hitting in the head, and what risk am I prepared to take to accomplish it?"
    Clearly compromising your position with a monster kick is not without its risks on numerous levels.

    I prefer this type of kick...much more direct. Sneaks nicely under the elbows into the ribs. A trainer i had in Thailand showed me this kick, told me "don't worry about power, just a to b, power will come." Altho you obv have to be careful of ur foot/ankle going straight onto an elbow due to the diagonal angle. Good stuff mate!

      As a TKD person I was taught that the "proper" roundhouse is the second or the "TKD" roundhouse in this video, but I went to a seminar taught by another TKD master who said he learned the roundhouse "Muay Thai" way. It's all about the instructor; a name is just a name.

    I have done Muay thai and now I am doing Taekwondo and I have tried this combined kick on the punching bag, but I decide weather it is done with the shin or the top of the foot, thanks.

    Hi Shane, thanks for the video. Been training TKD since young and started Muay Thai (MT) recently...I am having problems executing 60 repeated MT roundhouse kicks on the bags but have no problems doing a single kick on its own. What am I doing thats not correct? On the bags, do we use the upper shin or the insteps?

    but is not necesary turn the knee in circular wa right? you can do the 45 step in diagonal , to create that circular way then come the move of the hips and the shoulder .

    Great videos they really help with my training. Quick question, I am out of commission for a couple of weeks due to a back injury at work. It's nothing too serious but I have a grading coming up and the gradings at my club are very intense (they don't want to make them easy coz they don't want their students to be unprepared for real fights) and I'm worried about my time out taking away from my fitness. What can I do to keep fit without putting strain on my back? Thank you for any answers given.

    Nice explanation of the two kicks. The modified kick you present is actually closer to old school (or pre-Olympics [pre 1988]) TKD rather than the sorry state of affairs today where point sparring is taught before more realistic self defence techniques.

    My only concern is hand positions while kicking... They're all over the shop... Other than that, love the video breakdown, the slow motion and the graphics showing the directions!! Great video!

    It's good to see an individual that can analyze the strengths of each style and experiment with hybridizing techniques. The hybrid kick here looks similar to kyokushin karate kicks. In the kick spectrum of power (P) to speed (S), I think some popular styles fare something like this. MT = P10/ S1, Kyokushin = P6/S5, Point Karate/ITF TKD = P3/S8, and WTF TKD = P1/S10. Note that elite WTF TKD practitioners also do not "wind-up" and telegraph kicks, so this saps power.
