  • In today's episode I cover one of my favorite techniques, the lead leg round kick. I like to call this technique the jab of the kicking world. It is fast, precise, and effective as a set up or finishing technique. I've used it in almost all my MMA & kickboxing fights. As always, thank you for watching!

    Your videos are such a useful training tool. I've always wanted to implement a quicker lead kick bc I've felt the switch kick takes longer to throw and is easier to read but I never knew how to open up the hips to snap it up quickly. I drilled it over and over by myself and used it in sparring the next day with good success. Thank you for sharing your martial arts knowledge sir, Osu!

I've never used lead roundhouses that weren't to the calf, and I've done martial arts my whole life, but realized I'm really missing that weapon after all.
    Just my left leg in orthodox. It's been difficult

      @MC.32517 3 года назад +2

      If he fights Kamaru usman, he has to utilise his weakness, kamaru is a forward fighter that pressures forward with that very good jab and puts u to the wall and then clinches to tire you out then takes u down and control u on the ground and break u down and wear down ur durability but lacks in lateral movement which is what wonderboy big part of the game plan and I think if wonderboy uses the side kick to the leg or a counter spinning back kick after usman jab, that will be really good for wonderboy and very damaging for usman and working that karate style stance, if he goes deep in to the inside of usmans jab and overhand would be good as well. That is the same with soo many power punchers in the heavier weight divisions and wrestlers. Woodley on the other hand is a weird type of wrestler, he is a very feint power slam wrestler who uses lateral movement for that single leg or a grip to then go up for a clinch and then put ur head down for a guilotine or take u down and smash and control the top and positioning, but in wrestling he only puts soo much control that he really puts the focus and pressure on one side of the body and crusifixes u and it is easy to get out, but when u get out, twood has a great grip and if u hip escape and try to stand up, u will get punished really badly but if u don’t stand up, he won’t take u back to the ground so he’ll let u stand up only for massive punishment and u cant stand up u will lose by tko finish
