Not about their nerves but you can easily shatter your foot but I think it’s the fact that Alex never telegraphs his kicks he kinda flick them out there unlike other fighters who turn their hips and load up before firing the kick you know what I mean, so it’s hard to check his kicks even Jan who might have the best leg kick defence barely checked few of them

You can sweep/hit the lead leg and more often or not you can sweep the leg and knock them off balance and then you pounce on them. its effective and has its purpose especially when you catch them when they are more on the backfoot or lifting the feet ever so slightly.

I thought “there must be a reason they don’t do it in Muay Thai”. I was wrong. lol. But… but …. Try the sweep and adjust from there. I think this might give you the angle. Keep up the awesome work!

It’s not even a soccer shot its more of a soccer pass (Bc I like kicking upwards onto the leg which is more similar to a soccer shot {I also do other kicks to the leg but that one is nice to get a reaction with}) So basically he’s literally passing the ball and the ball being ur leg I dont practice it bc Im more comfortable the ways I do leg kicks and thats why I practice those (like going up and down to chop is a technique I also find very nice or doing the chambering rlly clean is also nicr or in a rectangle movement or sometimes I just throw it without much movement or force to test waters and such so I practice those kind of leg kicks) I think it’s also nice to work the knees if u dont throw it like pereira Obv I dont know everything and it seems to work well so yea

Pretty sure it's the ball of his ankle that he's technically striking with.

He has enough power that he can sacrifice a bit for more speed and less telegraph

I think he gets away with it bc he hides his kicks so well

He doesn’t need to worry about that for two reasons : - it’s very sneaky,no telegraph from him Very difficult to check something you can’t see. -mental pressure from his punch, his opponent’s attention must also focus on avoiding that left hook.

That's how he got his blackbelt. Respect.

alex is a real life easter island statue thats why he can do that

Alex is Brasilian, they all play soccer there. His calf kicks are classic football/soccer pass kicks. If you look closer the main impact on Alex' foot is in his heel and ankle with the front of his foot going around the leg

This guy is the most realistic fighter I’ve ever seen. I’m subbing 💯

The reason he lands it with his foot is because he picks his moments and is very slick with it. He doesn't just throw a leg kick to throw it, he sets it up and times it so that it's very hard to check

Alex is a straight up legend

I did a bit of kickboxing for about 2 years at a local gym. In my expert opinion this guy has NAILED it.

"That's why no one will remember your name." - Achilles

His timing with it is the insane part 90% of the time he gets it off right as people put there weight on it and it buckles them
