I find with beginners it's often an abductor and an hip flexor strength related issue. Those muscle groups aren't strong enough to lift their leg while maintaining stability. It's hard to control your momentum and pivot while you can't control your leg properly.
Rotating on the balls of your feet is much easier on your knees than rotating flat-footed.
just started walking around non stop on my toes and bouncing around on them whenever i can xD
Hip rotation during the kick is so important as well... If you can't rollover / rotate your hip during the execution, your kick will lack its potential power regardless of what's happening on the grounded leg.
you're absolutely right. Thank you for the comment and thank you for sharing. We have many videos covering hip rotation and also, hip mobility to help with hip rotation. Check them out if you think they'd be helpful for you.

@@Krufessor_Rad Thank you - I’ve been checking out your channel. There’s great advice here! Thanks for putting together so many great resources!
@@markd.9538 I really appreciate that. Thank you very much 🙏
I just started doing weighted calf rises a couple of months ago and it really improved my balance and kicks.
"Krufessor" is a clever name
Great video!
Thank you for advices.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the feedback. 🙏🏽
The reason for the pivot elevation can be explain from a physics standpoint. For swinging strikes (vs linear/thrusting), being "earthed" is not as important as freedom to spin around the axis by reducing friction surface. It's because the requirement for being "earthed" is only to reduce axis shift during impact, which from a trigonometrical standpoint is only a fraction required by linear/thrusting strikes. Therefore, while spinning, the friction surface needs to be reduced by "tip toeing", but at moment of impact, the supporting foot needs to be aligned approximately perpendicular to the striking surface to be as immovable as possible. This is why aerial kicks are more momentum based while earthed kicks are structure based.
That is an exceptional breakdown. Very well explained. Thank you very much 🙏🏽
Most will miss the whip effect you're after. Turn your body and let your leg follow.
Really cool video, thanks a lot! I started muay thai 2 weeks ago and I feel some pain after the train sessions right below my feet and on my wrists. I'll try doing some exercises like that at home, I think I got some week heels even though I've been going to the gym for about 2 years.
I know I may be punching wrong, but is it normal to feel my wrists worn out? I've never done any fighting sports before.
Yeah, it could be from punching, tensing up too much and maybe clenching.
I covered some ways to protect your wrist from pain while punching on my channel.
Thank you for the comment 🙏🏽
Found your channel and I like!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎

Why kick at shoulder/guard height? Or the target is the lower ribs, or it's the head...
I could never figure this out so I just became a grappler instead.
Now imagine if you figured this out and became a grappler that could kick.
Weighted calf raises
Do you need to elevate when throwing low kicks?
No, you’d plant your foot and kick downward into the thigh. Sometimes you kick upward if doing a cut kick but in both scenarios you will not elevate to throw leg kicks.
@@Krufessor_Rad many thanks coach 🙏
@@ganonspectra 🙏
Tawanchai muay thai champ in one champion keeps his fot planted when throwing single roundhouse kicks, but elevate when throwing several. my point is you nessesarily need to elevate your heel
You often see the pads angled sharply downwards;
0:13
this invites something closer to a front kick, which means your hips aren't turning over...
which means your foot doesn't need to turn much.
Not saying it's good. Not at all.
It encourages lazy form, while making it easier to slam the pads harder.
Makes the student feel good, while not being particularly helpful.
You need to be able to round kick a vertical object, solidly and efficiently.
Once you can do THAT, it's easy to kick on a bit of an angle.
The reverse is not true.
If I could twist my back again...........!
My thai kru told me not to lift my feet too much
Yeah, for me the height of a kick is a factor. LIke body or head kick vs legs kicks, but any type of elevation will need strength and endurance in your achilles.
@@Krufessor_Rad true
He said for high kicks its a must
But i definitely agree on the leg strength like calves achiles and ankle! Great video
QUIT DROPPING YOUR HANDS when kicking lol
