Situations where you can kick confidently: 1. Opponent gives no reaction when you feint 2. Opponent tends to plant their lead foot 3. During a combo, preferably if it's not the first strike 4. After a hook. If an opponent is guarding or ready to check, the idea is to give them a nice hook to the head to make them plant their foot then whack at it. Ernesto Hoost was a master at it.

Conditioning is part of it. But bad technique is the main culprit. Like said in the video, you should try to angle your shin downward when kicking the legs. You have gravity on your side which makes it powerful, and the angle makes it slide downward if checked instead of just bowing around the other person's shin. And throwing hard round kicks without anything preceding it. Honestly if you are just reaching with a round kick take a little something off of it and just keep hitting the same spot over and over to eventually swell the thigh or calf. Really whip one in as hard as you can after you distract with punches or other kicks.
@beemerrox3 жыл бұрын
About checking low kicks. I only done MT for 1.5 years (i´m 41!), and there is one special detail in the checking technique I never heard anyone speak of, not my coaches, and they even disregard it when I talk about it. It's about when you are lifting your leg to check an incoming kick, how you actually raise your leg, what muscles you use. The way we are taught is to simply lift up the leg, using the muscles of the hip flexors. Now, try to do this in a starting position where you don´t have the foot placed on the ground, try just one inch above. It´s not explosive, it´s heavy and it feels like it requires much energy to do it, right? For me as a beginner, not very conditioned - can pretty easily feel the subtle difference of moving parts of the body, how cumbersome it is. Now this; Plant the foot on the ground in a regular stance. Try shoot up your leg from the toes in an "explosive" way using the muscles of your calf to initiate the explosion, Goes much faster, don´t you think? Now I tried these techniques with many repititions. I did 50 with the traditional technique (foot planted to simulate realism) and then after resting i did 50 with the calf-explosion technique. Using the hip flexion made me dead tired and I felt a lot of pain during the end. The second technique I was still tired, but not as much pain, and I didnt crash. And then, I had a friend record me on video, in slow motion and measure the time how fast I could get up the knee using the different techniques. It seems to be around half the time in difference! And it feels like using a lot less energy! When thinking about it, the calves are used so very much in all our daily motion, and it feels like the calves have much more endurance than the hip flexors. True because I read that the calf has 80% slow twitch fibers, where the hip flexors have 40%. This explains why im not so tired after using the calf more dominant than the hip flexors. I don´t understand why I can use the calfes so explosively even though it lacks the fast twitch fibers compared to the hip flexors. Now is this going too deep into details that dont matter, or is it wise to consider because we also use the hip flexors for knee strikes and such, and can add upp to tiredness? What do you think, tell me please. :)

You mean it easier to to lift knee when you use only front haft of the foot to touch the ground(tipping up), You are right about it cuz in muay thai stance you stand on rear foot only and the front foot is tipping up ready to block. but you can't stay that way for long in the ring cuz you have to move around and it get more tired to tipping your foot than just rest it fully on ground. Nakmuay thai do tipping up their front leg in 1 or 2 round at most

Also, it is important to note that calf kicks are available in MMA in a way they aren't available in MT, as such calf kicks have shown a much larger efficacy than thigh kicks in MMA and do not present any where near as high of a risk to a tibia break.

I agree Muay Thai fighters work conditioning much more then MMA fighters. Also both Connor McGregor and Anderson Silva have admitted at some point, that they did very little hard sparring leading up to their fights. Instead focusing more on the game plan, specific to that opponent. I also believe weight cutting and PED's play a part.

I honestly think that there's another component that is often left out in fighting channels and communities due to misinformation and that is heavy strength training. There is EMG data that show that the stronger one is, the harder the bone density. So if you have a powerlifter who can squat 500lbs, he is gonna have harder bone density than the dude who can only squat 225lbs. This is why I am a huge proponent of strength training and why I find it highly underrated in MMA, Muay Thai, and Martial Arts in general.

Watch out not to throw a kind of soccer kick where youre keeping your body away and just letting your leg go. If you keep your core tight, hand up on your ear and roll your shoulders and hips through your opponent then you can really sit your weight behind your kick and drive it down and through. Try use your higher shin bone, your toes should be pointed down and quite far out of the way.

Very good video indeed !! I would also add that the shin bone is like a plank, so it's important that the angle allows the shin to hit with its thin part rather than the flat part. When you lowkick quickly without pivoting your hips, you will tend to hit with the flat part of the shin, which is way more fragile than hitting with the edgy part.

I've seen someone speculate that another part of the reason you don't see this in Muay Thai is that Thai fighters tend to throw more kicks to the quad/thigh, whereas in mma kicks to the calf are a big thing, and where you see these breaks. (They also speculated that Thai fighters avoid calf kicks basically to avoid the breaks, because they know everyone they fight is going to be so good at checking kicks.) Does that seem like a reasonable explanation? After watching this, I'm wondering if that plays in with the part about the angle of the kick, like if you're aiming for the quad, maybe that encourages the downward motion, while throwing lower kicks to the calf encourages the upward motion?

I am not an MMA fighter, nor have I fought in any competitions. That being said. I was a cop for many years, and prior to that, I was in several bar fights. I was taught to use the ball of my foot for round house kicks (side kicks). I used that technique to over take an appointment or stop a criminal resisting arrest. I studied two Japanese arts. The Main Land Japanese style used shin kicks, but my Sensei allowed me to perform the kicks using the technique I learned in the Okinawin style. I never practiced or used the shin kicks. I see no practical need for it, but I see it's usefulness for a trained fighter. Thank you for this video, very informative. Mike.

I do it. Just get an axe handle and gently tap up and down the length of the shin, just enough that you feel it, but not so much that it is really painful. It will swell up that area just a tiny bit and usually by the next day the swelling is gone. And my shins seem much harder. I think that the people who smash their shins get the little divets like he mentions in the video.

in fighting, there is + and - to every technique. Liam and Bazooka Joe are one of the best low kickers out there and they're both throwing those snap up toward low kicks. Manachai is the same. But then there is Mr Perfect wich was one of the best low kickers in K1 days and he throws them from up to down. Another point to add is in my opinion where to aim when you throwing them. Aiming right above the knee is not the best choice in my opinion. Yes, they hurt if they land,but for a good check all is needed is one inch for that kick to be checked. The calf is a good aim...but in my opinion maybe even better option( wich i dont see very often) is that sweet spot right below the hip. Harder to check, and when they land its a bullseye. I got hit couple of times with those and i must say my fun ended up fast.

I'll tell you exactly why people get hurt on leg kicks, they throw them as a singular strike. As a singular strike low kicks are easily telegraphed, you have to distract your opponent first then throw the leg kick. There are many ways to do this, my favorite is a simple jab. You also get the benefit or creating momentum. You always want to alternate, left hand, right leg, right hand, left leg. This creates a torsion effect on your core, pretty much an elasticity

Situations where you can kick confidently: 1. Opponent gives no reaction when you feint 2. Opponent tends to plant their lead foot 3. During a combo, preferably if it's not the first strike 4. After a hook. If an opponent is guarding or ready to check, the idea is to give them a nice hook to the head to make them plant their foot then whack at it. Ernesto Hoost was a master at it.

Conditioning is part of it. But bad technique is the main culprit. Like said in the video, you should try to angle your shin downward when kicking the legs. You have gravity on your side which makes it powerful, and the angle makes it slide downward if checked instead of just bowing around the other person's shin. And throwing hard round kicks without anything preceding it. Honestly if you are just reaching with a round kick take a little something off of it and just keep hitting the same spot over and over to eventually swell the thigh or calf. Really whip one in as hard as you can after you distract with punches or other kicks.
About checking low kicks. I only done MT for 1.5 years (i´m 41!), and there is one special detail in the checking technique I never heard anyone speak of, not my coaches, and they even disregard it when I talk about it. It's about when you are lifting your leg to check an incoming kick, how you actually raise your leg, what muscles you use. The way we are taught is to simply lift up the leg, using the muscles of the hip flexors. Now, try to do this in a starting position where you don´t have the foot placed on the ground, try just one inch above. It´s not explosive, it´s heavy and it feels like it requires much energy to do it, right? For me as a beginner, not very conditioned - can pretty easily feel the subtle difference of moving parts of the body, how cumbersome it is. Now this; Plant the foot on the ground in a regular stance. Try shoot up your leg from the toes in an "explosive" way using the muscles of your calf to initiate the explosion, Goes much faster, don´t you think? Now I tried these techniques with many repititions. I did 50 with the traditional technique (foot planted to simulate realism) and then after resting i did 50 with the calf-explosion technique. Using the hip flexion made me dead tired and I felt a lot of pain during the end. The second technique I was still tired, but not as much pain, and I didnt crash. And then, I had a friend record me on video, in slow motion and measure the time how fast I could get up the knee using the different techniques. It seems to be around half the time in difference! And it feels like using a lot less energy! When thinking about it, the calves are used so very much in all our daily motion, and it feels like the calves have much more endurance than the hip flexors. True because I read that the calf has 80% slow twitch fibers, where the hip flexors have 40%. This explains why im not so tired after using the calf more dominant than the hip flexors. I don´t understand why I can use the calfes so explosively even though it lacks the fast twitch fibers compared to the hip flexors. Now is this going too deep into details that dont matter, or is it wise to consider because we also use the hip flexors for knee strikes and such, and can add upp to tiredness? What do you think, tell me please. :)

You mean it easier to to lift knee when you use only front haft of the foot to touch the ground(tipping up), You are right about it cuz in muay thai stance you stand on rear foot only and the front foot is tipping up ready to block. but you can't stay that way for long in the ring cuz you have to move around and it get more tired to tipping your foot than just rest it fully on ground. Nakmuay thai do tipping up their front leg in 1 or 2 round at most

I've always naturally done this. You ever sit in a chair with balls of your feet on the ground and let your knee bounce, almost automatically . Same concept
Also, it is important to note that calf kicks are available in MMA in a way they aren't available in MT, as such calf kicks have shown a much larger efficacy than thigh kicks in MMA and do not present any where near as high of a risk to a tibia break.

I agree Muay Thai fighters work conditioning much more then MMA fighters. Also both Connor McGregor and Anderson Silva have admitted at some point, that they did very little hard sparring leading up to their fights. Instead focusing more on the game plan, specific to that opponent. I also believe weight cutting and PED's play a part.
@0713mas
3 жыл бұрын
Exactly! The weight cutting game is highly taxing on a person's body and can definitely cause a whole host of issues.
I honestly think that there's another component that is often left out in fighting channels and communities due to misinformation and that is heavy strength training. There is EMG data that show that the stronger one is, the harder the bone density. So if you have a powerlifter who can squat 500lbs, he is gonna have harder bone density than the dude who can only squat 225lbs. This is why I am a huge proponent of strength training and why I find it highly underrated in MMA, Muay Thai, and Martial Arts in general.

Watch out not to throw a kind of soccer kick where youre keeping your body away and just letting your leg go. If you keep your core tight, hand up on your ear and roll your shoulders and hips through your opponent then you can really sit your weight behind your kick and drive it down and through. Try use your higher shin bone, your toes should be pointed down and quite far out of the way.

My respects to Shane for keeping it real with his fan base empowering them, reaching out to them, and getting to know them! KZread bully beater; hero.
Very good video indeed !! I would also add that the shin bone is like a plank, so it's important that the angle allows the shin to hit with its thin part rather than the flat part. When you lowkick quickly without pivoting your hips, you will tend to hit with the flat part of the shin, which is way more fragile than hitting with the edgy part.
I was really scared to throw any kicks after seeing Conor McGregor
I have been thinking about this today, and searching for some videos and you Posted it 🤩🤩
Please don’t ever stop making videos bro
I've seen someone speculate that another part of the reason you don't see this in Muay Thai is that Thai fighters tend to throw more kicks to the quad/thigh, whereas in mma kicks to the calf are a big thing, and where you see these breaks. (They also speculated that Thai fighters avoid calf kicks basically to avoid the breaks, because they know everyone they fight is going to be so good at checking kicks.) Does that seem like a reasonable explanation? After watching this, I'm wondering if that plays in with the part about the angle of the kick, like if you're aiming for the quad, maybe that encourages the downward motion, while throwing lower kicks to the calf encourages the upward motion?
Love the content, don’t stop! just started working on the kicks on the heavy bag, thanks for the info!
I agree with it mostly, I just hate kicking the knee when the opponent lifts the leg up at times. It's really hard when the leg is contracted

I am not an MMA fighter, nor have I fought in any competitions. That being said. I was a cop for many years, and prior to that, I was in several bar fights. I was taught to use the ball of my foot for round house kicks (side kicks). I used that technique to over take an appointment or stop a criminal resisting arrest. I studied two Japanese arts. The Main Land Japanese style used shin kicks, but my Sensei allowed me to perform the kicks using the technique I learned in the Okinawin style. I never practiced or used the shin kicks. I see no practical need for it, but I see it's usefulness for a trained fighter. Thank you for this video, very informative. Mike.
Want to learn low kicks? Watch Ernesto Hoost videos. Fight Tips is great stuff too though!
I enjoy most learning and hearing about Shane talk about Muay Thai. Good video!
Great video, I like the quick vs down low kick info. You need to talk more about the check...that is the difference between you limping or your opponent limping. (Don't allow your knee to be lose and like a hinge, meet the kick)
Studied under jhoon rhee for many years. Always taught to kick downward on a low kick to avoid a kick meeting on the same plane. Good stuff.

I do it. Just get an axe handle and gently tap up and down the length of the shin, just enough that you feel it, but not so much that it is really painful. It will swell up that area just a tiny bit and usually by the next day the swelling is gone. And my shins seem much harder. I think that the people who smash their shins get the little divets like he mentions in the video.

You covered a lot, but the reason why those angles are safer comes down to the shape of the bone like saying it’s a ruler 📏 is great but when you turn it over it becomes a lot tougher to snap no matter what a flexed knee is like a Boulder and you’re attacking it with a bat.

If you watch Stadium Muay Thai, where you have the best kick checkers in the world, most of the low kicks are feeler kicks that come at an upwards angle. They dont really dig in unless you have a lot of weight on your front leg.

Oh God no I delight in low kicks! Shin to shin sucks but shin to thigh is deeeeelicious!
in fighting, there is + and - to every technique. Liam and Bazooka Joe are one of the best low kickers out there and they're both throwing those snap up toward low kicks. Manachai is the same. But then there is Mr Perfect wich was one of the best low kickers in K1 days and he throws them from up to down. Another point to add is in my opinion where to aim when you throwing them. Aiming right above the knee is not the best choice in my opinion. Yes, they hurt if they land,but for a good check all is needed is one inch for that kick to be checked. The calf is a good aim...but in my opinion maybe even better option( wich i dont see very often) is that sweet spot right below the hip. Harder to check, and when they land its a bullseye. I got hit couple of times with those and i must say my fun ended up fast.
I'll tell you exactly why people get hurt on leg kicks, they throw them as a singular strike. As a singular strike low kicks are easily telegraphed, you have to distract your opponent first then throw the leg kick. There are many ways to do this, my favorite is a simple jab. You also get the benefit or creating momentum. You always want to alternate, left hand, right leg, right hand, left leg. This creates a torsion effect on your core, pretty much an elasticity
