- Who hits the fastest? I brought Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Boxing and Karate Martial Artists together to hit the Powerkube to see which style hits the fastest!
Powerkube is not a sponsor of this video, but if you want one of your own tell them I sent you and you can get 10% off! (I also get a kick back)
Big thanks to

I like how the Taekwondo guy is so chill and suddenly he goes ''AAAAHHHHH!!!'' and kicks
My thumb was fast asf, Seth. All of these would clearly be far too slow to hit me.
😂
I’m also a practitioner of thumb fu. Who’s your sensei?
I missed the pause. My phone was stood up on the table, and I was eating a bowl of cereal.
I got .1 when I paused the first time lol
@@shaunpearce6846 master thumb lee
Love that the boxer was fastest even while being the only one wearing gloves 🤣
Facts 😭
Imagine if he did it without the gloves💀
Arms closer to the brain than legs?
@@SenselessUsername You not see they measured the other punches without gloves or something pal?
@@guy229 yeah but gloves add length to the arm. Given how fast these times are, the extra few cm added from the gloves would provide a large advantage
It's incredible how you are NEVER boring 😁 The way you approach martial arts is a lesson : Always with excitement, always trying to teach us something new that we didn't knew we needed to know 😋
Pierre-Edouard
Tbh, yeah.
This man is pretty high on my list of entertaining RUclipsrs _period, much _*_less_* in regards to "just" martial arts!
Ever see that hook Ryan Garcia threw to Fortuna? It was so fast the camera barely picked it up. Video had to be slowed down tremendously to see it land. The cross being faster than the jab is actually pretty mind blowing, didn't expect it.
Had to slow down a slowmo
I think the most "scientific" and honest way of doing this was to bring an Avarage Joe/Lay person to do kick and punching to be the "baseline". Other than that, you rock Seth.
Not really since the average Joe hasn't gone under the specific training of each martial art and would render the whole video useless.
A better way to test would simply be to gather a larger number of participants from each martial art. This could also produce some interesting results such as how much the participants of a martial art differ from one another compared to participants of other martial arts.
@@bucko3353 exactly !
What does that prove? That lower tier artists, are slower / worse ? If you wanted to test a humans "Quick Draw" potentials... would you choose a "Noob" ? A casual "Amateur".. OR.. would you choose the "Masterclass" level, World record holder?
Now... if you are comparing quick draw methods... You would again, want to compare the very top ELITE, against each other... to see which methods were the fastest and most reliable.
There is a man that can pull his gun out, shoot two different targets SPOT-ON, and put his gun back in the holster, in less than a second worth of time. In fact, hes so fast, that they needed to use a high speed camera, to realize that he actually fired the gun twice... as it was so fast, that you couldnt hear, nor see it... let alone, believe it possible. Even crazier, is that he does this reliably, on small targets, from the HIP (no visual-sight aiming).
Benny the Jet, a famous kickboxer, has a jumping spinning back-kick, thats fast as most peoples jabs. Hes used it to TKO many different fighters, in competitions. His results, make these results, look like a joke. Only thing about Benny, is that... while he is both lightning fast, and very powerful... his reliable accuracy has issues. Some of his techs are flawless... some are missed. Some hit with TKO level forces.. and some do not. This is something he could fix.. but has never pushed himself to that level of Mastery.
But the main point is... that most of this is down to the practitioners level of Mastery. And that if you really want to compare which techs are the fastest (and or, most powerful)... then you really need to have Masterclass level artists, performing these kinds of tests. The problem with that is... that there are so few Masterclass level practitioners out there, in this modern day and time. Way too many lazy people, today. Furthermore, you would want a good sample of artists per art. Not just a Single artists per art. In that way, you would could get a general Average between 2 to 3 different artists from the same art.. to gauge the differences between them, and the arts techs, themselves.
This would not add to "which martial art is the fastest" but could be base for another video: how average joe compares to martial artists. This video gets us number for martial artists :)
The most scientific way to do this would be to get highly trained martial artists in each respective discipline who are about the same height, weight, & bodyfat percentage.
My thumb was fast as hell on the remote because my wife and I watch these together on the TV. Whether you like it or not, you've spent more time on our TV over the past couple of years than most movie stars.
After years of kick/thai boxing I switched over to just boxing for 2 years. Had my first muay thai spar in years last week and I was taken back by how slow it felt. I'm no boxing counterpuncher but I was able to counter consistently in mt not to mention being able to catch kicks better than ever. I still love both sports but I 100% recommend trying different schools/techniques. Never expected boxing to improve my leg catches.
Reaction time is unique to each individual and usually lies between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds. This is the time it takes for your body to start to do something in response to a stimulus. What was really being measured in the video was how fast each technique could be completed.
To get a better sense of individual reaction times you just need a ruler and a friend. Open your hand and have your friend drop a ruler starting with the 0 cm mark at the top of your hand. Catch the ruler as quickly as you can and record the distance fallen. Take the square root of the number of centimeters and then multiply that number by 0.045 to get your reaction time.
Looking at😄 x
Exactly.
on the test he did in the video i got 0.09😈
That's BS. There are bigger differences in reaction times and then the actual speed of performing a motion is also completely individual.
I got 0.08
Seth please test palm strikes! I'd love to see a comparison of bare hands, wraps only, and gloves!
For the round house kick, i think the stance plays a huge role... For instance taekwondo and karate are basically a side stance while Muay Thai is a very forward facing orthodox stance.....
well the kick from taekwando looked goofy as shit
This was interesting. Keep making these kinds of videos!
Seth, you are a huge part of my routine entertainment. Definitely a movie star in my books.
Great video. An element of speed that is harder to test for is when a telegraph starts. Something can be effectively much faster if most of the movement is hidden. I wonder how this could be demonstrated and compared.
Dude! That last punch you threw toward the very, very end of the video surprised me so much, I reacted with a hiccup. You're right. I didn't see that coming.
This video was amazing! Thank you for the information 💯✅
Great video Seth I will love to see this same video with different weight division.
A RUclipsr that posts polls on their community page that actually preface a video? Nice! Let's see if my vote was correct.
Love the videos, man and these concepts are awesome.these are all things I really was interested in on how fast certain Techniques and I feel like you fucking nailed it
Hope you enjoyed your time in Australia, mate. It was a bit surreal to see you at the Museum of Sydney, but I hope you had a wonderful trip!
the weight classes would have alot to do with these comparisons, and as you mentioned yourself, you being heavy probably made your sidekick slower than that taekwondo master, simply because weight plays a big part in both power and speed, specially speed. but then again, having one person do all of this might mean that, that person probably does not have the training and the instincts of somebody who trained in each of those martial arts for years and would probably do them a disservice.
i love to see each martial art throwing their fastest, lets say 5 strike combo and see which one can inflict the most damage in the fastest time. i guess it would be a cool idea for a future video.
I'm excited to see more from this series!
I'd be curious about the connections between power, speed (mph), mass, and reaction time. Like x kick was 1% faster reaction then kick y (both from the same range), but Y had 10% more power. When you raise speed but lower bodyweight behind it to get faster, and the power trade off it gives and vice versa. It'd need to be more apples to apples though lead leg round vs lead leg round from same practitioner.
I feel like I could ask like 8 questions 🙋 about this but will stop here 😅 - thanks again for such quality content
Well power is energy/time, but the time here wouldn't be reaction time but the time it takes to reach the target assuming a constant speed (which may not be accurate but we'll just approximate for demonstration purposes). The energy in question here would be kinetic energy, so E=1/2*m*v^2 where m is mass and v is the speed of the technique, so speed would have a lot more contribution to power than mass. Putting it together would give P=(m*v^2)/(2*t)
Not at ALL boring. I'm a boxer and I find this fascinating. There's gotta be a way to correlate speed to power x amount of strikes to come up with a value for the amount of power can be thrown w/in a certain period of time (say, 3 or 5 seconds) to figure out what is the most "damaging" striking martial art. E.g., is TKD's two sidekicks w/in 3 seconds worth the 5-6 combo a boxer can throw in that amount of time from a power/speed perspective>? Please keep the great content coming!
Honestly, I love numbers about as much as (maybe even more than) I do fitness and martial arts, but even ignoring that, these vids are just _really_ cool. Get's me fired up about the biomechanical implications of martial arts, speed and power training, and a bunch of things I can only describe as under the folder of "Becoming Batman/Peak human".
Honestly, can't help but feel you about nail these videos, and I hope these comments let you know that. ✌🏾
love the video .. would love to see more data from more people of these arts. you can then draw a general base line. 1 per style can be huge outliers. id suggest 10+ per style 100+ is more optimal. but no ones got time for that lol.
I love your videos !!!
Great video. Pretty curious how Sumo strikes would stack up for speed as well.
lmfao
love the stuffs!
Awesome vid, i didn't know that the cube could do reaction time. Now i definitely need that equipment ❤
I love these stats videos. so cool
Karate and taekwondo eliminate the step in when throwing the back leg round house, due to the wide bladed stance. At far range that cuts off a ton of time and telegraph.
And you don’t have to kick from bladed stance it’s an option.
Another great video, Sensei Seth! Of course, the individual athlete is an important variable that wasn't able to be factored out here, but we don't watch this for perfect science; we watch it to see the skills of martial artists who have mastered their crafts and hear you crack cheezy jokes!
MT roundhouse are fairly quick but I feel like the size of the practioners, Way you were holding the pad, the stances they were firing from and the fact the MT guy was altering his technique more for the test are what made it faster than the tkd roundhouse kick here, which imo is speedier in practice.
tkd kick was goofy as shit and doesnt work
I think the cross is so fast for two reasons, First that the body is loaded up to throw a cross very fast and strong in boxing stance, second that the cross is a reactive strike. Lets say you would throw 50 jabs in a certain amount of time in a fight, maybe 20 of those would be thrown with the intention of dealing real damage as a reaction to finding an opening. Most of the crosses are thrown as a hard strike to do damage, more importantly, the cross is being trained to capitalize on that split second opportunities so the reactive speed is fast.
Hey Seth, it's a very interesting video. I clearly see this is a better way to compare each discipline than a actual fight. However, it's the time a strike hit that you measured, yet it's not the speed that was recored. It might be even more interesting to meausure actual speed, i.e. in mph of each hit, to give a objective ruling in my opinion. Any way, thx for the theoretic martial arts video!😀
The fastest martial art in my Opinion has to Be Taekwondo or Karate
Hey seth thats cool, i was thinking perhaps you couldve gotten each persons baseline reaction speed first? The techniques might be faster but the user has a lower reaction speed...its pretty important since some people react 0.1s faster than others. Plus not every hour of every day are we performing our best reaction speed. So testing each reaction time first wouldve been a good idea. Great video
Good idea 👍
I love your approach to testing it’s like you actually know how tests go✊✊✊ I love that
Great video, Seth!
Tells a boxer to strike as soon as he hears a bell. Like a frog in a pond
my index paused (watching from computer here !!! )
First off love the video. Great job yet AGAIN! second off Coach Lucas gave some great information that a lot of people might brush past about that pull counter! Third love the thumbnail! Your Kiai face is great!
Dude your videos got so good e.g at 2:20 with the list. Really good habibi keep it up!
I had already paused before you said pause..... Unstoppable!
I love these vids
As usual good content
Interesting exercise, though it was IMO measuring the delivery efficiency of the techniques, really. You'd need to isolate the execution time from the time to initiate the move to get the reaction time.
As I got older, I found simply relying on faster hands wasn't enough with younger people. But what you can use to make up for that is knowing what to be ready for, given the distance, relative position and stance of the opponent, looking for the tells before a technique is launched, like weight shifting, and keeping your limbs close so they don't have to travel far to shield.
would be interesting to see a similar video with weapon based arts.
Dude when you close your eyes to time something it's amazingly accurate!
Nice vid, still don't know why David doesn't have his own channel yet. He'd get a shit ton of subscribers.
I like where this is going. Could you maybe find a way to measure dodges and blocks and compare in some way, like when the punch starts, when it's already on the way and such. How early do you need to start the evasive motion to be succesful? Just throwing ideas out there, great video as always.
Would love to see five different people throw all of these individually. Just to see how much more they are used to their own method and to see how universally fast some techniques are
brother
thank you
and it was not boring at all 🥊🥊
Another thing that was interesting is the boxer is punching with gloves on in comparison to everybody else who is not. His speed was still way faster I can imagine how fast it’d be if he had no gloves on while doing the drill
I loved it. It's an interesting experiment but there is more u would have to do to have and actual good conclusion. Question how the the boxers punches stack against the kicks
Great video to analyze and learn from. Makes since why Bruce Lee added Boxing and Fencing to his Wing Chun.
Fun test, and healthy approach. Kinda like fight science. You forgot some kicks; the pre-chambered kicks (roundhouse, hook and sidekick)
I love your channel and the research you do. Hope you don't mind that I mentioned you in my last video (just mentioned)
Before watching, I'm going to go out on a limb and say boxing. Hello from Wilmington, NC.
It would be really cool to somehow apply this to footwork and see which styles have the best ability to close distance, get out of range, or create an angle.
Just a thought
Could you do the same test but with all the different weight classes in mind?
I wonder how much slower a heavyweight fighter is compared to a bantam or flyweight.
Because i have the feeling that the smaller and lighter the fighter the faster they get right?
I love that video, it's interesting, fun and it's obvious you put some effort into the comparison! But I have some questions about this video for the sake of comparability (Is that a word? Not a native speaker!):
1.) Are all the people you used in the same weight class? (And were they for the power-video?)
2.) Are they at a similar age? Speed goes away much faster than power, 5-10 years can make a lot of difference.
3.) Are all the peope at a similar level of expertise in their respective martial art? (I'd think you'd make sure they are, but I'd like to know for sure.)
4.) Does speed only refer to "elapsed time from impulse to executed technique" here? If so, I have some follow up questions:
5.) Who had the fastest reaction time from being in a stance or doing footsies to going into their technique?
6.) Which technique/martial art had the highest mph?
Would love to see these answered if that's possible! Keep up the good work!
Man I'd seen a few of your videos but seeing Jordan on here just put 2-2 together for me, I didn't realize you were around NC and we trained with some of the same folks 🤣
Great video. Can you follow up with what is the smartest/most practical martial art?
Hey Seth. Awesome video but it would have been cool if you did a rankings summary at the end to review. So what was the final score? Boxing was fastest and then tae Kwon do was 2nd? Not trying to complain thou. This was def one of your best vids so far
Hey Seth can you create a new comparison video about different types of kickboxing like Muay Thai and American kickboxing and dutch kickboxing and sanda and also can you create a video about Muay boran and animal style kung fu
Karate is mostly a kickboxing style too
Very interesting! Perhaps, a Speed vs Power: retest with time for knockout shot; compare force against speed. Assuming that you have the force data from this test.
love your video and i think you did really great job with your arts and this fun but exciting competition, i m on a cross, i training Wing-tsun for about 12 yaers, including personal training quinna(циньна on rus) and now i prefer something for street self defense, maybe Sambo Mma or bjj or something else, what you advise and maybe may strange experience help me with, thanks for attention, big fan, sorry for my English)
Welp, .13 for me on your little test. I figure that's decent.
This video was super cool to watch. It's really interesting how despite boxing having the quickest strikes, it isn't the only martial art out there. If you follow survival of the fittest, you would presume only boxing would survive, but this goes to show that speed is not the only thing to look for in a martial art. Awesome video!
0.05
my timer
This was a great video, really surprised by the speed of the spinning kick! But i think the science part could be improved. By using only one person as sample for each martial art you introduce a lot of bias to the result. I think a more conclusive way to measure this would be to go to a school for each martial art, measure a lot of students, anotate the results as well as how loing they trained for and then do the comparisons.
I think, it's also a reaction time.
Some can have a fast kick, but a slow reaction time. So you can't really say, the one sport has a faster kick than an other. For example in my experience is that in Kickbox is the roundhous kick slower than in taekwondo.
So I think you should do one video, where you use a speed gun to measure the speed of the kick.
For example once in training, we did a small challenge. We did roundhouse kick with front leg for one minute. My nephew did the most 127 kick in one minute.
.10 for the "pause" thumb reaction test. Saw your facial expression change before you spoke
Watched on a laptop. Is that not normal these days? Great video, as ever.
Scientifically, you should could do 10 reps per technique. Also find more participants from the same Martial Art, with a range of body mass.
Anyway 😜
Great vid!
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
it be cool if you went and met a current world champion in each martial art then tested -SPEED - POWER = ALL LOCATED CORRECT BEST TECHNIQUE AND TESTED ALL MOVES - Then Ranked all moves for Speed and Power as accurate as possible because you have used the best person or one of the best in each martial art the perfect technique and correct height placement eg 6ft strike use bob weight and tie him down lol. - these are most interesting because speed and power are key to success in any Hand 2 Hand combat exchange - great vids!
Seth I use the RUclips for Xbox app, so I mainly watch you on TV. I hate to break it to you, but…you’re a movie star.
I got so excited when you nailed that .88 seconds guess 🥳
i used to watch your virtual sparring video on my tv haha but no my thumb was conveniently on the pause button
I'm watching you on a PC!
...
My reaction to the pause was .06.
PC master race.
it would be cool to compare the same roundhouse kick angle too..
2:40 That was an epic guess, but then I saw your upside-down headrest pillow lol
Goddamn it Seth your too damn likeable, let me buy you a beer in Melbourne when you're here
Not boring at all, this could be your best video in fact.
If anyone didn't know it before, don't mess with a boxer -they'll mess you up. But we can learn a lot from them. As he says it's not just start/stop of firing off a punch that goes into it being fast but a lot of things, shifting weight, momentum what you do with your feet and legs, your core, what the opponent does.
The kind of technique segment isolation and analysis that is part of the culture of boxing could perhaps be adapted and used for the other arts as well?
I had an idea of you testing pro gamers reaction time somehow and maybe there are some gamers that are also martial artists where this all intersects. Are they even faster? Are they similarly fast to a boxer even with less training or are they just fast at pushing a button?
Paintball is also another fast reaction time sport to look for this in. So is Fencing. There are also all these competitive gun people who are really fast.
would love to see a video on the viability of using pressure points in a fight
Not very viable, if you are so skilled that you can hit tiny point during a fight than pressure points is useless anyways as you can just hit them since you are so skilled and accurate.
So basically you have to have the skill to actually land strikes, but than try to land on tiny points that would be slightly different on any body. Heck, even boxers who train for accuracy find it difficult to land a liver shot which is a decent size target.
Pressure points are likely not even a real thing, and will only ever be cool in animes or movies.
@@MrSirFluffypressure points every much a real thing. would they no be useful in grappling situations?
@@aaronb3600 In grappling your limbs are used for controlling your opponents limbs and body. If you use a free arm to attempt pressure points, than your opponent gains a major advatage as now you have one less limb in the exchange and you can be submitted pretty quickly.
If you are a great enough wrestler that you would have a free arm while grappling, than chances are you don't need pressure points as your wrestling would be god tier.
The time vs reward for training pressure points is not high enough. Your time would be better spend learning a different martial arts.
That said, grappling in general is as close as you can get to pressure point fighting. However, instead of pushing special spots you are pressuring the bones in a way that can break them through brute force.
I'm surprised to see Jordan Dao in this video. I go to the same Muay Thai gym as him.
Of course we wouldn't see that last hit coming, that my friend would be a cheap shot. Just casually talking then.. Blammo! I'm sure I could hit most like that too! But great vid, I found it interesting!
You were right to compare first times to your own first time but it would have been interesting to see the difference between first time you and current you.
One of those Fight Science shows did some stuff like this back in the 2000s and they compared a finger jab from Snake style kung fu with an actual rattlesnake strike and the human was faster.
Point being, this video needed a guest appearance by Kevin Lee.
Watching on PC so it was more a knife-hand to the space bar, 0.11 seconds. I wish my gym had a power cube though, it would be really cool to see how my "average guy" speed and power compares to full time martial artists.
“Float like a butterfly sting like a bee his eyes can’t hit what his eyes can’t see”
Cool vid
Whatever they do in DBZ
Plz do a kendo video!!!! I would LOVE to see u in a match
When looking at this - you need to separate reaction time and movement time - reaction time is the time from stimulus to initiating movement and movement time is the from initial movement to hitting the target. Reaction time is pretty consistent on simple stimulus and training will help movement time especially for more complex activities. Plus genetics have a big influence ( fast twitch vs slow twitch ) so you are not comparing martial arts here but training ( muscle development and cognitive reinforcement, complexity of task and baseline genetics).
for anyone willing to try this at home, you can use an IPSC shooting timer app on your phone, gives you a random beep then records 'loud' sounds. Works a treat.
Coincidentally, I think this is the first time I watched one of your videos on my TV 😂
I think would be better to also do this test with just a visual queue, as normally your not reacting to a noise(Tho there are def instances) in a fight your mostly reacting to movement. So a light or something I think would do the job better. You could also throw in a variable round with a Red light hit, Blue light fake. To see how that impacts people.
I think you should take your power cube to the front of a golds gym and see how hard a gym bro can punch. $100 if you can beak my score type deal. Those videos are always good fun.
This is very interesting, I have done wing chun a very long time, wondering how fast that would be 🤔
I love this guy
I am happy to know that taekwondo is really fast, I knew it but it is good to see that from videos like these.
