      Seemed like Anderson Silva made a beginner mistake when he threw his low kick and Chris Weidman checked it - resulting in the compound fracture. By not turning his hip over he was making contact on the flat part of the bone as opposed to the edge. Does this sound about right or was he doing something else wrong?

    In competition, I made a HUGE mistake. I was "hitching" before throwing the round kick. For example, if I was rear kicking with my right leg, I was raising my right arm high, before pulling it low. Watching the film in slow motion, my opponent was actually raising his leg to block my kick BEFORE my foot left the ground! Would highly recommend that fighters film themselves sparring prior to competing. And be highly critical to look for telegraphing your strikes.

    • @Mrpandaaable
      @Mrpandaaable 3 года назад +6

      That's true that raising your arm telegraphs the kick, but if you lift your arm to your face like you're sneezing into it before throwing it down with the kick, then it acts as a guard in the right situation i reckon.

      I’m much better in the beginning and mid fight now. But after I reach that level of exhaustion where thought begins to shut down and improper muscle memory takes over (if that makes sense), I have to find that second wind to get my mind back into the game so I can throw proper technique and land an actual hit that will do damage rather than wasting my energy on baseless impacts.

      The only issue with pivoting a lot on the planted foot is that it can cause ankle damage. Lots of TKD practitioners get this issue.
      So I suggest when you take your initial positioning step start the turn with a step. Then you have less of a pivot to do with your ankle. Either that or make sure you regularly strengthen and condition your ankles.

      Why would you be surprised their are "white men" communicating online? The majority of people chatting in this forum are likely to be white. So not quite sure how you expect people to communicate. Your post reeks of racism. Weak racism, but racism still.

      @@manbiteslife3110 I mean that just as you are about to throw the kick lift the front foot slightly and turn the foot in the direction that the roundhouse will take. This makes for less rotating on your front foot as it is already partly rotated. The purpose is to minimise chances of ankle injury and it can add some torsion to your kick by adding twist to your leg.
      Not saying you have to do this. Just that I have seen it taught this way and have found it effective. Adding a small step also helps add your body weight to the kinetic chain.

    For me its my toe pivot from the ground to get that reaction force. It makes a huge difference. When it was pointed out to me, I put in the same effort, but the force delivery on the bag was soooo much more and my kicking hip felt more stable when my leg made impact on the bag. I know the reason for me when I "forget" it its because I get too impatient to land a roundhouse kick quickly that I miss that critical step.

    I would like to see someone quantify the difference in energy with the hand up or hand down when throwing a round Muay Thai kick. A very smart super accredited teacher once told me it makes no difference. I started training without dropping the hand. At first it didn’t feel right but it was because I never trained like that, and also some psychological. Basically, even if it gave you 10% more energy, which is doubtful to me, it’s not worth the expensive of opening your face. Especially since most people throw kicks only to miss, get countered, off balance, where you need to recover on guards quickly. Is it really worth it? Then again with a kick that is so committed and very poor recovery (compared to a straight kick or more of a probing kick, or groin if we are talking street) then it should only ever be thrown with 100% confidence in landing it. Not just throwing it to throw it. But I do not see that in tournament

    I'd put even more focus on shifting the the hip though.
    If you teach them to thrust their pelvis forth aswell as the hip together with the torque/twist of the leg it's easier to get the mechanics and you'll get even more power.
    It's good to learn since the same thing applies to when you're throwing knees whether flying, stop or straight ones into stomach when having inside clinch grip - just kneeing straight up is alot less effective than when you really thrust your whole hip and put your pelvis forwards with it.
    Adds reach aswell just like with kicks.
    Most people hit with their frontside ankle or foot which isn't pleasant when the mitts aren't there, pointing out hitting with the shin being optimal is good - alot think you have to condition them iron leg style but you do have a muscle running along side the Tibia protecting the shin automatically while checking kicks f.ex, since it's by raising your foot/toes "up" that flexes it, so as long as your foot isnt vertical during check but lifted you'll get alot less trauma to shins.
    Optimal is ofc if you keep your foot straight and flex that muscle during round kicks, I've noticed many have trouble with getting used to that though then it may be better for those to step in closer/pivot hard and getting the hit in with the shin that way, foot not-optimally extended but if close - shin connects anyway and the weak foot/ankle with all those tiny easy to shatter bones beyond target.
    Kicking someone's guard with your foot/ankle can ruin it pretty bad just there so.
    Good quality topicand content again anyway, keep it up!

    03:24 Also important to note: Pushing off of the ground with the ball of your foot is not what generates force; it's using the weight placed on the ball of the foot to PULL yourself forward as you pivot (bending the knee with drive from the glute and hamstring). This generates forward momentum that you can transfer into the kick when you drive the hip (of the kicking side) forward and then turn it over for maximum acceleration/transfer of that momentum.

    A problem I see is people throwing the leg like a snap kick instead of engaging the entire leg using the opposite hip. I did have one question though. Ive been told to keep your kicking leg relaxed and almost swing it like a baseball player swings a bat by turning their hips. Is this right and how do you do this. Also is it helpful to push off with your toes to get your kick moving?

    • @seanfagan
      @seanfagan  5 лет назад +2

      Yes you want your leg to be like a baseball bat and your hips to guide the bat/leg through the target. A lot of it has to do with relaxing your body and practicing thrusting your hips through (and repetition of course). And yes, driving off your foot and pushing off the ground will definitely help

    Hi! Thanks for this nice video but I have a couple of things to add.
    1:40 I do kyokushin, and we also have roundhouse kicks but in Kyo (and also in Taekwondo) we don't "wave" with our hands. You said in the video that it helps your swing but I always felt that it creates a negative force, opposed to the body's. As an engineer I think this makes sense but it's fascinating how different Muay Thai is.
    2:38 Great explanation on the flat-footed part. I'd add that it also hurts your knees. Maybe not immediately but it will take its toll in time. I've seen knees went out during competitions because of this. Basically people k.o. themselves.
    Keep on kickin'! :)

    Mmm I've seen some experienced guys do low/mid round houses without pivoting. Rather than wrong it just lacks power. But that way of kicking can be used to create movement and sometimes trick an opponent since they don't get to feel your full swing. With all that said. Basically lower level kickers won't use it well since they have yet to grasp the importance of setting everything up. Now I'm not a fan of it myself just thought there should be a caveat since there are people that use it successfully.

    • @seanfagan
      @seanfagan  5 лет назад +7

      David Castiilo very good point. Throwing kicks without the pivot (and sometimes without the arm swing too) can still be effective if used in certain ways. I see a lot of kickboxers do this with their low kicks which tend to make them a bit quicker and less telegraphed

    • @lr2119
      @lr2119 5 лет назад +2

      Usually a strong low kick can be successful without the pivot by stepping at the angle in which the pivot would normally end and letting that hard angle pull your hips through. See: bas rutten.

    • @kma3647
      @kma3647 5 лет назад

      I would never suggest doing that. If you're going for a front kick, don't pivot. If you intend to swing the leg around, you have got to get up on your toes. If you plant your heel, your hip will still try and rotate to follow your shoulders, transferring that torque to your knee. Your MCL will know the difference. There are many ways to feint. Throwing a low-power, poor technique kick that's hard to recover and puts you at risk of injury is not a good way to try.

    actually flat-footed during the rotation can be very good , the reason is exactly what you said to avoid , THE FRICTION , you can use your muscles of your foot and use the friction between you Soles and groung to enforce the rotation and get more power for that kick (and after this may be go on your toes to get your self higher :D or some extra ... )
