The secret of Muay Thai is in the Hips and Standing Leg

- Perhaps of all my videos this otherwise non-eventful one captures the ONE simple thing that Master K has always tried to communicate about Muay Thai. It's called the Art of Eight Limbs, but the power does not come from the limbs. It comes out of the hips, pelvis and abdomen, and thus the standing leg. And you see that in this clip as he tries to get me to find that power across several different techniques, from strikes, to round-kicks, to knees, repeat knees and push kicks. I've studied with him for 2 years now and I'm still just beginning to harness this source of power.

When i first watched this video as a complete beginner, I was thinking yeah thats nice, interesting. Now that I've come back to it and grown in MT, I realize just how gifted he is and the depth of the knowledge he's trying to impart. I had no clue how much I didnt know. Beautiful video.
Master K is the king of details - it takes me a very long time to digest everything I learn in a single session with him.
Relaxing is so hard to do in action. I know exactly what you mean - I laugh when my trainers tell me to relax because I usually end up getting hit in the face when I do and being hit isn't really, you know, relaxing. Breathing is the main thing, it's about using muscle tension FOR the strike and FOR the block. Like when you trip or miss a step and your body locks up for a second before you regain your balance - it's momentary, not walking around tense.
fuck man, why can't all trainers be like that ..hes constantly correcting you and explaining things ( hes showing that he cares and you're not just another "number or Body"....and you can clearly see that theres a relationship between you two...I also learned a few things from this vid---Ioved this video , thanks a million.
He is a good teacher. I envy you.
my thoughts exactly. one on one like that and being told NOT to hold back? priceless training.
seriously!
Facts how much do these cost?
Really shows improvement of student by instructors keen eyes
and ability to stay relaxed and absorb the power...great inspiration
Master K looks like a excellent teacher! It is a honor to get glimpse into some of his lessons. Thank you Sylvie, for sharing this so everyone can learn!
i love this guys energy, hes aura and vibration is very good, humble teacher.
ALIENSHADZ 13 aura and vibrations? You picking that up from a video? lol
Each moment of contact should be a mini explosion so to speak. Drive your hips and head through the target. Letting your head fall back at impact takes away from the power at it's most crucial point, impact. Watch a few videos of Chi Sirasute. He is a master of getting perfect technique, speed and power across to students. Then again, he is the grandmaster of thai boxing. Your training looks good!
“Slide in”! A subtle movement, a lot of people don’t know or don’t talk about it!I need to work on this! And develop a good control of balance.
Sylvie, Thanks for your great videos. My wife and I are doing Muay Thai here in Virginia Beach and Iv'e done it for 10 years I'm 55 and my wife is 45 and she's been doing it for 5 months(my daughter is 8 and she is doing both Jiu jitsu and Muay Thai). It took me a while to convince my wife to start. After 5 months of Muay Thai my wife wished she would have started when I did 10 years ago. We've just discovered your videos and my wife is very happy that she found you on a youtube search. After watching your videos you have given more reason for my wife to train.We want to thank you for that.
Awesome training. I like those old Asian masters. They really give the training an authentic feel. At a lot of big kickboxing/MMA gyms, it feels like I am training at a department store.
You are accurately describing my childhood white belt training experience (1970s) compared to today where I no longer teach just because of the authenticity of your latter experience which is exactly why I train in my own home now with not more than two students at a time. I was initially trained by the Asian masters and their students who focused on mastering the fundamentals meaning that yesterday's green belts are equal to if not superior to today's brown belts. I have literally witnessed this in today's belt holders who are more than likely overweight, poorly conditioned aerobically and inferior in form. Even boxing trainer's train their top students one at a time and this is not possible today because one wants to keep their studio open. However, this video shows you how to really be trained by a true master and all training should be held to such a high standard because the body needs to know how to more correctly when applying such force against another body. Great upload and comment.
Asian master lmao
This is a good teacher. Explaining every detail of the strike. Keep up the good work.
I love the jazz playing in the background! I've always found that it's a great soundtrack for shadow boxing and hitting the bag/pads.
I loved his quick tune up of your hook... Also its crazy to me that he is still so spry and snappy. Also, all his pelvic thrusts started to make me giggle after a while. :) Great teacher, great student.
Seems like a wonderful instructor. Pushing you just the right amount while keeping it fun. Gotta love the Thai way.
I just started Muay Thai a couple of weeks ago and I’m lucky to have found your channel; videos like these and the commentary videos are an awesome resource to hear different techniques described and demonstrated in different ways since the way my classes are set up I don’t get much one on one time with the coach.
Not even halfway through the 2nd video and I already love your channel. Best channel on RUclips hands down.
I really liked this. Its like hes extracting every bit of power he can find in you and defintely gonna try this hip and knee stuff he was talking about!
I'm glad I found this, I'm gonna watch more videos now as a result of you posting this. Thank you. Well done by the way, lookin good :D
Beautiful vid to watch before my own training xD I'm a very leg oriented fighter, and love watching vids on how to generate more power in my kicks. Thx for sharing this!
Loved how he referenced the jazz drums to the rhythm of kicking im going to apply that to every drill and sparring session from now on! Beautiful insight and wisdom from the teacher.
Your coach, Master K is a really good teacher and you catch on really fast to what he is teaching you. I'm only three months into training, so I've been trying to learn some of the things he's talking about putting your hips into your strikes. I just subscribed and i'll be checking out some of your other videos. Thank you for the video upload
Definitely in the hips when kicking, and punching of course. Our coach tells us and always reminds me to turn my waist before bringing my leg around, makes more power too.
wonderful video. ive watched and enjoyed everyone of his videos. also great work by the trainee. i travel to thailand for 6 moths every year to train and love it. I would cherish the opportunity to learn from Master K while I was back in the U.S. He's an amazing instructor and teacher!
This seems like invaluable advice. Balance is an overlooked aspect in muay thai since you are required to stand on one foot often thrusting your hips. That's why I imagine yogis would do well in muay thai boxing if they were to have the stomach for it. You're awesome Sylvie, really. Great job.
Balance isn't really overlooked. In boxing, it's definitely one of the core fundamentals and that applies to any stand up art really. Shadow boxing on a tire is one such excercise that helps.
Actually a lot of the point sistem in muay thai is based on destroying your opponents balance
Very nice , I've trained in Thailand and love what you both are doing. Great Job.
I am totally beginner in Muay Thai and I found this video very useful! Want to train with this guy now! Your technique, Sylvie, looks very clean. Keep posting :) xoxo
I know exactly how this girl feels! im doing the same training, so I feel you girl...
Wow, I wish I could spend a few days with him training me and straightening me out on a bunch of things! Great teacher! Thanks for the video
this lady trains hard
I love watching her kicks & punches.
Great Coach!!! I hope to meet him one day. He is truly committed to excellence.
After years of muay thai it took me some time to realise that the path to improve power isn't simply through technique or strength training legs - but also really improving balance and flexibility (especially in the hips!) now i spend more time stretching my hip flexors before and after training. (espeically because i sit on my ass all day as a job) - that really screws my hips flexibility
happy new year and again, thanks for the videos
Wow this guy is super cool...love watching you both. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, your leg kicks are really good know. Very interesting to see your progress. Thanks you for your videos!
really like the relationship you have with your Khru. It's really amazing to see how much he is dedicated and how much you respect him.
Thank you for the effort on replying on us your fans, also for the video clips about throwing good kicks. I'll be working on my hips and do all your tips . We'll be waiting for your next videos:) more power! choke dee :D
Awesome trainer and great training cues.
Thanks for the video! just starting muay thai myself,Master K is the truth!
You inspire me in a lot of ways & your Kru always makes my day with His abyss of energy.
Swadeekrap!
Thank you for sharing this training session. It's golden :)
Great video between Kru and student. I'm envious.
Very good technical training and advice.
He seems like such a rad dude, awesome session!
Thank you Sylvie sharing this video 🙏
I trained with Arjan Burklerk in Chaing Mai when he had his gym there 2012 for almost 1 year and really loved the video you had with him in his gym in Lampang .Muay thai when taught properly is about repetition until it becomes 2nd nature and I see this in this video here.Love your videos good luck for future ,DJ
what an amazing teacher
Thank you Sylvie. So far the best fighting channel for muay thai.
I would love to see the instructions of master k on warming up before the trainning
Very good. Thanks for sharing !
That is some awesome training!
What a great channel, Subbed.
All the best Sylvie :)
I love the push kick, knee combo. very nice. thanks for the video.
these are great vids that you upload.i agree, he is very detailed.I'm only semi training in this form but i love it and these are super helpful! thank you
When look back to this. It feels like go back to the foundation. It new and full energy
Master K seems very legit, that stomping and recruiting that bouncing power off the floor is so important
Master k? There's no such thing as masters in mush thai. There are Krus, but this man most certainly is not a kru. Just some couch potato that watched a few Thai fights.
+Ben Jackson also the closest thing to a master is Arjan
+Ben Jackson are you calling 75 fight in Thailand being a couch potato?
+Ben Jackson Thats a big different and you understand it like a Thai people man
I Loved ! And your Sensei is so exigent and careful ! Congrats !
Awesome! I'd love to have such an amazing teacher.
he is a great man and great teacher. thank you for posting
What a workout on doing same routine..but the detail of the execution is GOLD.
This looks so chill, old asian guy giving really dedicated training with some jazz in the background haha
Happy New Year Sylvie!
Damn.. once you get the secret there's so much power in those kicks!
Great! Keep on the great work.
Seems like an awesome teacher.
Very good trainer !!! Congrats
Great Kru reminds me of my grandad and i when we use to train.

Nope, this chick never did any other training other than Muay Thai, beginning with Master K. I just have better hands than kicks at this point in my training.

thanx!!keep up the good work!!
Good work Sylvie
Really good work
Great video! Thanks for the lesson
Damn Sylvie, your old video popped up on my feed. Crazy how since 2011 and now how much you have gone through. The fights the followings and techniques you have amassed. 2018 Sylvie would eat this one for breakfast before her 8 mile run :D
Awesome instructor
amazing arjan! you're in good hands.
Good video, I've only just started muay thai.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
