I love throwing knees. Only downfall is I have short hamstrings... I've beem working on stretching them (left is shorter than the right) I typically tend to fake out with a one-two (fake right , follow through left jab , following through with either knee within one motion, in a matter of a second) people's reaction time and experience determines a lot when dishing this out. I still need a lot of practice before I can throw heavy knees like you're following through with. My main problem is stopping the energy with the follow through. Like you said "aim for the spine", the follow through is everything. I'm self taught and practice nearly every day, although I still have a long ways to go. Fighting is my forte, and I'm pretty passive. But, it's instinct. I'd enjoy to have a good sparring partner to practice with. Defense, offense, straight forward, technique, follow through, and PRACTICE. I haven't sparred or fought with anyone who can help me gain more experience and momentum in my kickboxing/fighting. Practicing alone can only get you so far. Real life experience can throw you for a loop even if you've had the practice. It's a different story when your adrenaline is pumping, you're nervous, hesitant, angry/, emotional. Conquering your fear and emotion is key to keeping a steady, level head, while fighting with technique is easier said than done. A lot of you can probably relate, as well as a lot cannot. I do not condone fighting for pleasure or for fun. But, when you've got to defend yourself or others it's wise not to walk into something you cannot handle or overcome. Lots of folks say "the bigger they are the harder they fall." I tend to disagree with that statement unless you know what you're doing. I've got my ass kicked by those bigger and some smaller than myself, and I'm pretty small considering. Size isn't everything, though. Wear em out and wait for your opportunity to strike with force. Don't drain yourself before things pop off. You never know what to expect. Mainly due to fighting multiple people at once, at least in my experience. I'm just ranting now... anyways, I wear weighted anklets and practice jabs with 10-20lb weights. Before you know it you'll be tossing hooks, jabs, kicks, knees, etc.,like your picking up paper. There is always room for improvement and learning.
2:45 If you knee hurts, try to understand if it's your skin that is hurting or if it's the joint/muscles. Your skin may not be developed yet (which will come with time). If it's joint/muscle pain, then you're doing it wrong.
Shane idk if you remember me, I know you have millions lol. But years ago, I started watching your videos when trying to correct my boxing / Muay Thai at way beginner level. Just practicing running miles, shadowboxing and hitting a basketball pole w a pad on it. Using the towel technique, this was when I recently graduated from high school, Fast forward now, I’m at year two of some more intermediate jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, karate, wing chun, wrestling. All the above. The greatest thing I realized was that 1) I no longer watch your videos, this one just came up. I look for more specific things, like pivots on the ankle and such such. The ligament of a knee. 2) is that I’m actually (currently in Mexico practicing in the slums ) but im training at actual gyms. Working my way toward my first amateur fight. (Also watched your video as to when to know when you’d be ready, I am more then ready, excited, I can’t wait to get home, train like an animal. And finally get my shot in the cage. And I can sincerely say, beyond myself, it all started with a video from Fight Tips - tips for the underdog. Love you brotha. Keep up the hard work.
dude this videos are so freaking helpful with the amazing information you put out there even at the end of the video you said that a good way to see whatcha doing right or wrong is to record, like additional tip. Thank you ma man
This is very good video I’m a Thai/English and I been training many Thai form a very young age and never stoped this video is very good and I heavily recommend this video to my fellow beginner
excellent suggestions. I see the light.if some one is in the puffed up stage of starting a street fight in punch range a knee to to the stomach, throw your hands up against your head defensive posture elbows forward to a void the head punch as an opener, maybe he will catch an elbow with his fist if he swings and if he doesn't maybe that first opener knee will soften him up a bit.In a jail situation the often try to pick the guy up and drop him on his head.That knee may meet a face on the way in...
I can understand if you can't bend your knee if you have the arrow head still stuck in it. On a serious note, do it at your own risk. He's already warned you what might happen.
I usually don't use that high guard during the knee, but it feels good! I still default to the Dracula guard just because those up-elbows are so sneaky. Great vid, Shane. You are like a content factory these days! You must be very inspired with these seminars. Keep it up, my friend.
I wan't to do do a combat HIIT workout and in my workout program there was knee strikes . I clicked on the video wanting to learn knee strikes only, but I ended up watching all the vid; and i learned how to Fight physically 🎉
I often think; what would I teach if I were running the class? And its shit like this, and your other videos. Just breaking down the basics. Too rarely done. You make it accessible and enjoyable. Keep it up. 🤜🤛
And the best is: If you use it on the street (against a brawler and not in a ring against an experienced MT fighter) you can/will end the brawl with just one knee strike. Knee and ellbows are my fav bec i never was a high flexible kicker.
NEW T- SHIRT IDEA- PRACTICE DOESN'T MAKE PERFECT, PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! You are fantastic teacher and very good at conveing information. Every one can teach, not everyone can teach well! Thank for sharing skills and insights. Miraming Salamat Po (Thank you very much!) Guro Rick
I watch all your videos your a great teacher and a warrior!!! Learning allot from you I also a warrior get rocked by a punch or kick and you will know if your a fighter and what your made of..
haha, Shane...after half an hour of your vids i learned more about right kicking than in decades of Taekwondo, Hapkido and FMA before. Thats why i say that a big black belt means nothing about the qualification of the Sifu/Sensei/Guro whatever..
@fighttips I want you to know that I subbed because "Practice does *not* make perfect, perfect *practice* makes perfect" is something my band director and mentor, used to say. If you practice it wrong, you *will* perform it wrong.
I just discovred your channel, I'm loving your videos. I especially like that you have knowledge of (and show) different fighting styles and variations. I've done some martial arts and every time I start at a different place, I end up thinking I've been doing a movement "wrong" the whole time because the new teacher will show it to me a different way than I was taught at the last place. Haha
in fact there is a short roundhouse kick in muay thai thai you use in close range or that you hit with the middle or top of the shin or even with the knee ,for some people might look like a knee strike but is a roundhouse kick
Agreed my dude. I video my practicing for later review and input from other's as well. As for the long knee, I must use the top portion of the tibia. Why? Because the calcium deposits behind my patella. The motion is similar with the hip trust, except you bring your knee to your chest then forward and slightly down to strike with the tibia. I thank you for all the tips. You rock. I could benefit from sparing with you. Hit me up sometime for a workout.
haha, you have mor rotation and flexibility in your hip joints than other people in the shoulders...thanks for the great tips, it will make my infight/close range much better
"Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect." My new favorite quote 🙌
Nilesh Ghadge that is deep
Nilesh Ghadge My coach once said practice makes perfect but you can be perfectly shit at something 😂
Leon Griffiths Your coach got a sense of humor 😂😂👍
MMA Junkie no that's not deep that's deeeeeeeep😂
Arun .k haha😎😎
Just the video we kneeded.
Alvaro Rubilar Muñoz you're my hero
Alvaro Rubilar Muñoz you’re punny

Every time he knees the bag i can hear a dolphin crying

😆😆 I can’t un-hear it now.
Darnit.
Why would you point that out?! :D:D
Why did you tell me nooooooo😂
Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect
Thank you Shane
Awesome video. Most trainers don't even goes to the details, just knee the shit out of the bag and be happy. Then the injuries come.

I used to be a fighter like you... then I threw a knee incorrectly
That damn old skyrim meme hahaha

I once was an adventurer like ya'll, until I took a knee to the knee : (
I used to be a fighter When i was young
Then i Took a knee to my knee

On a serious note, do it at your own risk. He's already warned you what might happen.
