thanks ramsey, ive been wondering for quite a while about how those muay thai leg sweeps actally work. because professionals like saenchai do it so fast and so easily that its hard to grasp what actually causes the takedown.
Due to 2nd lockdown in Montreal, gonna have to practice those as katas and shadowboxing :/ But the in-depth explanation and examples are more than enough to understand the moves
One of the sweeps is explained in a manga "All rounder Meguru", by a teen character named Maki. Anyone here read that? Their thoughts about the explanations there?
Mr Dewey I appreciate your delivery...I sincerely wish that either I lived closer to you or you to me as I'd love to train...I boxed years ago but had to obtain a day job to pay bills...I'm now 34 divorced depressed and beginning to get fat...I have no desire to compete anymore I was 13-1 amateur boxing and had my fill...I simply wish to get mentally and physically healthy again...I enjoy your videos immensely...thank you
Change your level slightly downward so the kick lands on your butt instead of your thigh, and take a tiny step diagonally forward and to the right (for a right leg kick... opposite for a left kick) Hook over the top of your opponent’s leg with your wrist, don’t try to catch with your hand. Exhale slightly and brace for impact. And spend time every day toughening up so a leg kick isn’t the end of the world if you miss.
Not really mate don’t really want to be getting in clinch with people,might be bigger stronger then you plus fact if he’s got mate with him your in trouble,best to try end the fight as quick as possible,then your ready if another attacker there
@@nicator8380 Well, thats only valuable if you can actually run away. But if guy is faster than you, he will catch you, and you will be tired when he catches you. Plus, there are ocassions when you're either cornered or protecting someone else...
Great video. That last one for instance, I believe that is a real world application (bunkai) for the karate low block. The way one does it in kata where one «loads» the arms and then turns around and «executes» it. What do you think about that?
Hello Ramsey, love your videos, keep up the amazing work! I don't know if you've read this comment by now since I posted it on another one of your videos but I'll post it again just in case since I'm interested in knowing whether this particular style provides stable bases for a further study on self defense styles (there are a few books written by the man behind it and others that resemble his background) or even just good things to know during a street fight or not. I know how many comments you read so I know its probable you have already read it or you will read this, so I'll refrain from asking this question again. The style in question is called defendu or gutter fighting, I know you have already given your opinion about krav maga and some other similar styles but I consider this to be a one of a kind thing because of its origin and appliances (created by William Ewart Fairbairn a royal marine and Shanghai policeman with over 30 years of experience who allegedly had over 600 street fights under his belt and taught to the SOE and the precursor of the CIA, the OSS, during WW2) I was wondering if you could break down this video about this style like you've done with others (for obvious reasons I don't think most of this can be tried at a gym though), but something important to have in mind is that, by Fairbairn's own words, these are only for emergencies when you're caught without a gun or a knife "foolishly or otherwise". ruclips.net/video/_hIdkgd0Hrw/видео.html
@@RamseyDewey Aside from the guys at ruclips.net/user/gutterfightsecrets, not that I know of, though the gun techniques and fighting knife are still used by the British SAS and a few others.
Interesting, great video as always but seeing the clinch work, specifically the way the hands are the and rotations kinda remind me of some Kung Fu or Wushu forms. You know like those stances and stuff that are typically interpreted as meditation and chi movement and all that, I think some of those forms might be clinch work and throws
Ramsey please review and test the HARDCORE STREET TECHNIQUES displayed in the "Multiple Attackers-Official Trailer" video from "Systema Vasiliev"! I'm sure you'll have a blast confirming the 100% efficiency of these not at all terrible looking techniques!
Hey coach Dewey, what do you think about people being told that they should go to college, and that’s the only way to make it in life. Great video man.
I’m very nooby at martial arts but I’m guessing the main things to why sweeping works and why you need to pay attention to the upper half is how weight is distributed in the body The legs are the pillars holding you up so when you tilt the upper half to sweep you force one leg to carry more weight then the other then sweeping the leg holding more weight to the opposite direction to where your pushing you ensure they fall? Or just keep all their weight on one leg and keep twist so the person you’re sweepings center of mass is no longer supported by the legs? I’m probably getting lots of things wrong so please tell me correct me
Hi Ramsey. A question . In the U.K. due to covid, we are all (or should be) socially distancing at 2 meters. Sparing and rolling is not possible (unless you know some secret ninja techniques). Anyway my question. Shadow boxing is a well known training method, but what about mentally rolling or the techniques shown in this video?? Do you think it’s an effective use of training time? Thanks
I just thought, it's really interesting to actually see these moves or techniques in an actual street fight, most especially when adrenaline is all running high.
I never really had a go at mma or thai boxing but everytime i see that thai boxing clinch i just think ko uchi makikomi.. i think a few of the makikomi throws would work .. some of the easiest no ge throws, though i don't think ive ever seen one used .. never seen it on the ground in bjj either ... am i missing something
Well, in Muay Thai, you’re not going to see throws and takedowns that put both fighters on the floor. A nak muay wouldn’t score for a kouchi makikomi- they would probably just get a warning from the referee to stand back up. In BJJ, that’s a risky move, since the bottom man is one step away from securing backmount- with one hook in, and head and arm control. Wrestlers will often use a similar, but importantly different I side leg reap as a alternative finish to a double leg.
At 02:45, when you say "...I'll rotate..." your foot is on his foot briefly. You quickly take it off, but, if you had remained standing on his foot as you rotated to throw him, couldn't that have badly twisted his knee and/or ankle?
@@RamseyDewey Yes, because your sweeping foot is standing instead of sweeping. I'm just wondering about if you had not used your foot but just turned and threw him while standing on that foot. A co-worker had his ankle tendons badly wrenched while training his BJJ and I've been trying to figure out what he did.
These are sweeps, not throws. The “counter” to being swept in the clinch is to actively control the inside of the clinch. As far as what to do if someone catches a leg kick- continue rotating violently in the direction of the kick to free your leg. I’d have to show you that one, because it’s easy to muck that one up.
@@RamseyDewey We have them too in Wing Tsun, which I practice. :) If only we learned how to use them on actually resisting opponents...so frustrating...
Sweeps can be really frustrating to beginners. In fact, a lot experienced fighters never even bother to learn them because they’re often taught so poorly. Most people focus on the movement of the sweeping foot, which is the least important thing of all. You might notice a couple of times in this video, my sweeping foot doesn’t even move, it just blocks the outside of Eddie’s foot so he can’t step away and balance.
Ramsey Dewey when I go for single or double legs I try to turn the corner which usually ends up with my opponent slipping out of the takedown. It might be my head position I’m not sure. Most of my grappling experience is from wrestling with my friend who wrestled in middle school. I would also like to say I’m not a very fast or explosive but I do have good cardio
so the force of the techniques doesn't come from the sweeping foot itself, but is there any advantage to putting force behind it? also what do you think about mantis boxing leg hook type sweeps? from a lay trainers perspective they look risky, and since they could very well end that way, should be treated as a kind of sacrifice throw, but from a disadvantaged clench i suppose that might have its use. your thoughts? leg hook video here: ruclips.net/video/msxkCHRGX1c/видео.html
Nope. Beginners always get frustrated with sweeps because they’re trying to kick the legs. The violent force is in the upper body- particularly from the control of your opponent’s head. Those takedowns you linked me to aren’t sweeps. That’s just basic leg reaping on a shot.
If you look close, on several of these sweeps, I don’t even move my “sweeping” foot at all. It’s just placed stationary on the outside of Eddie’s weight bearing leg.
@@RamseyDewey All muaythai stadiums in Thailand do not permit placing leg behind opponent's leg to trip the opponent, You must make definitive strike or at least bump knee to the target leg. If you have trained clinchining in Thailand, your trainer will certainly make this clear.
@@sportmuaythaiv1045 Not once was a leg placed behind the opponent's leg. None of these techniques are trips. The side of the foot is not the back of the leg. Sliding the side of your foot against the side of your opponent's foot while they transfer their weight is the very definition of a sweep. A sweep is not a strike with the leg or knee. If you want to pull rank about who trained with who, I trained with Lumpinee Boxing Stadium champion "Rak" Channon Sinsub. He taught me a great a deal, including 2 of these 4 sweeps. Lumpinee Boxing Stadium rules explicitly forbid "judo or wrestling throws and takedowns" (exact phrase) not sweeps. I am now convinced either you do not know what a sweep is, or that you have difficulty translating what happens on a 2D screen into 3D concepts.
"Not once was a leg placed behind the opponent's leg. " Please see the cover page of this clip, the right one. I rest my case. I don't to turn this into an argument BTW I don't know "Rak" Channon Sinsub. If you give the ring name, it would be easier for me to trace and know who he is.
That second one is stupid simple but I have never been shown it jamming the hip like that. Will try.

2 key points to make a footsweep effective. Is to get the hands and feet working in unison and generating the power from the rear leg and hips
Beautifully done.
can u do more of these thai sweeps? Maybe cover some of the ancient ones by trainer gae?

Great and short video, btw any suggestions on how to catch the leg while minimizing the force on impact from the kick? I find the 2nd one harder
Change your level slightly downward so the kick lands on your butt instead of your thigh, and take a tiny step diagonally forward and to the right (for a right leg kick... opposite for a left kick) Hook over the top of your opponent’s leg with your wrist, don’t try to catch with your hand.

Seen forms with similar patterns, I wonder if there's a connection
With most martial arts forms in most styles, if the movement doesn’t look like striking, it’s either grappling or weapons technique.
