Bruce Lee used the side-kick to great effect. His side-kick was devastating and would launch his opponent off the ground. Good stuff.

this is one of TaeKwonDo's signature and most deadly techniques.

But they touch the wrist and pull it

I like all the crazy statistics and similes human weapon uses.

My favorite striking move.

By leaning away from the kick, the person who is being hit is pulled into the kick.

love the side kick, wish more people would use it in mma like diaz, and silva

I love this move, I wish Id have a chance to try this on someone trying to mess with me!

This should be ranked one of the cheapest but effective kicks out there

key when executed perfectly

whats the name of the side kick when you step in and then do a sidekick to make impact harder?

i wish i could get these on itunes podcasts

You can bet your kidneys wouldn't feel too good after that.

Side kicks are nasty & effective. Bruce Lee's JKD sidekick is the best I've ever seen. Pity the fool who got kicked with one of those. Broken ribs, almost guaranteed.

This may be the best way to preform a good sidekick

sounds like a nice friend...

Ohhh nice! I wanna try that!

good morning, how should he do a rondhouse kick if you lead back? and if you reffered that it can hit your leg, you're wrong, cuz he tries to punch you, you grabbed his attacking arm, and kick him, in that position your opponent can't do a kick because you he attacked and you grabbed and counter-attacked faster, so he coulnd't start the kick

@ItheSwick I hunted through 11 pages of comments to see this one, totally worth it.

I would love to see these two guys having a fight seriously.

This kick is great for breaking the floating rib

@mrbulletproof100 prop guy on the show once got hit with a battering ram. They kicked him and he said, "Yup...that feels like a battering ram" and they took his word for it.

@hiverocker im sure you can tell that to mike tyson. i use punching all the time and it works great when some ones throwing a kick and you move in to knock them on their ass with a good cross and hook. whats your style? and id take boxing more seriously. those guys hit hard and fast. then again i use 8 points of attack and it shuts people down and they dont know where the next strike may come from. especially when you get jabbed and loose sight for a moment.

30 people got hit with this and disliked the pain

@funkkiller because its a complex kick i think, its my favorite kick and i practise it all the time

oh. that's nice. this can break ribs right? i wanna try it.

Wow I never knew how powerfull this kick can be ^.^ leg becomes a WMD after you watch this =D

On my channel I have 4 different martial arts defending against a side kick. Ironically they are all pretty similar. They all involve kicking the leg.. since when kicking you are only standing on one leg.

damn ! that's massive !!

Just as you thought you were playing handsy w/ your friend HE FCKING TAKES OUT YOUR RIBCAGE!!!!

@44patriot mainly because executing the process of grabbing the wrist, twisting hips and launching the kick is pretty easily avoided by most UFC fighters. Also I don't know of any fighters in the UFC who do Sambo, correct me if I'm wrong.

@DaBhaalspawn That's why you condition your attacking tool - in this case, your foot/heel/whatever you happen to be using. That's what training is for. also, it looks like in this instance they're not exactly targeting a particularly solid part of the body - they are kicking the flank, which, even if the muscles were tensed, is quite fleshy. If this is the show I'm thinking of, the techniques are intended for self defense and this would be very effective in getting your opponent away from u.

Many techniques exists in many different styles under different names.

@mrkiky acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a object. acceleration speed is just a term used to compare 2 objects acceleration.

truely the strongest kick invented

No one do that kick in such a close range that effective.

You cross your back leg behind your front leg, take a a step forward, and release the kick with your forward leg.

That kick is called Yoko Geri in Karate... very useful.

Actually the side kick can be nontelegraphed and extreamly fast if you just shoot out the front leg with your hips, not lifting the knee. its slightly weaker, but if ur aiming low it can serouisly mess someone up. look for Sanda Side Kick here on KZread.

Cung Le threws this kicks amazing powerfull kick

use your heel. its the hardest part of your foot, and will cause the most damage to your opponent. You will most likely make contact with the entirety of the bottom of our foot, but the emphasis of pressure should be on the heel.

@ASSBANG6969 not really, especially in hopkido (not sure if that's how its spelled)

@TheFlood92 - FusBoxe MMA has a belting system Bas Ruttin has a MMA system belted

just in case ur in a fight you can tell the guy hold on for a sec look at it and the continue right?

some people are just really tough and will be able to take your kick. also sometimes its just luck that as soon as you begin to throw your kick, the guy is already throwing a punch. so if its a body kick, u could be in trouble

@sarimavired u study taekwondo? if so r u determend to be the best

"This move uses the _____ as a ______, with as much acceleration as a meteor, enough to dent diamonds."

yeah they didn't show the basic side kick in the tae kwon do episode either. I guess because they've already showed it on muay thai and savate episodes.

Humanity is screwed now that the silver surfer knows the side kick.

Depends on how much space you get to use your sledge hammer in.

@mrkiky "the acceleration speed of his leg is 30m/s in 1.2seconds" (made up numbers) or like he said "the acceleration speed of his leg is faster then a car" im not a professional but that's how i have been taught.

cracking a 2x4 with a hammer?shit thats insane!

It's also used in Karate.

OMG finally the grey pwned to silver one!

Love this episode. I was wondering why no fighters use sidekicks in actual MMA matches? I think it could be useful, especially shots to the shin.

Perhaps it's an obscure move.

More people use it in the mma now

@ASSBANG6969 only at the dojo, when it's me and my brother we hold back a bit

@sanjar2007 hahah right.. soo how do we know your not a geek aswell...?

it's the same kick as the yoko geri in karate, but here you grab the oponents arm (yes I actually do practice karate, over 3 years now)

not a good idea because its risky for you? Or risky for the attacker? because I know if I see an easy opening for a choke or an armbar in some random street fight, I will make sure he needs a cast somewhere by the time we're done

Yeah, It's like a jab with the legs. Not really used to do damage but it keeps your opponent in check if you go for his shin or knee. If you train it enough, it can have power and speed, just like Bruce Lee's side kicks.

The side kick is one of the strongest kicks possible.

wouldn't you need to hold the opponent's arm for it to work though?

cooooooool

I actually currently have a bruse on my ribs to show this kick works :P

I couldn't agree more lol

@ItheSwick You're close. I actually begin testing for my sixteenth degree black belt NEXT week...in everything. =3

Agreed!

yeah exactly

that kick opens a wide range of combos....would have been nice to finish it with a variation...side kick to drop kick ....imo...taekwondo is one of the most interesting martial arts

@rodneywar You probably did it to his chest, for some reason we as humans tend to hyperventilate from "thigh" kicks to the chest.

this is spartaaaa!!!!!!!

Dr. Manhattan would mess both of them up

@TheFlood92 -ok.got real and thought about it. bas is one of my coaches from 10 yrs ago.Krav mixed from other arts sambo mixed from other arts BJJ mix of other arts FusBoxe mix of other arts karate mix of other arts in order for it not to be mixed it would have to be the omega-the first ever. the concept is new to america, not the rest of the world.

apparently because it's an illegal move because of how powerful it is, although that doesnt make much since considering you can knee, elbow, roundhouse kick, front kick, back kick, grappel, jointlock, people......

@Frosty073 hell yeah! :D

in taekwondo this kick is called yeop chagi

Ryo Chonan wasn't losing to Anderson, you obv. didn't see the fight. He was actually outpointing Anderson to decision.

some guy here told me he was an MMA instructor and said it wa illegal, so I believed him.

used this to win a fight against some random kid. he wont be pickin a fight with me anytime soon

i like how they say what will happen "When excecuted PERFECTLY" u huhh

we call that yoko geri kekomi

@ItheSwick AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I rofled in my pants

@brzinger6 did i say that bro?

@DaHuntsman1 haha yeah some people can look pretty stupid when they're trying to lock in an arm bar...

@ItheSwick you are one funny guy:))))and you are right!!:))

@zeejenkins The stance you take when executing this kick leaves you too vulnerable for takedowns. Some guys like Cung Le can get away with it, though.

OUCH!

I would imagine. Way more effective to attack with your legs than with your arms in most cases I believe.

@skinnayJJ Well the green bars no different - They're both stupidly small.

@chihuahualoverlol Yeah seriously! I'm surprised they overlooked the step/sliding side kick in kung fu, tae kwon do, and karate. The sidekick they show here looks pretty weak since there's no utilization of forward momentum or a hip burst, but I've seen people get destroyed with this move.

lawlz thanks ;)

@ASSBANG6969 who said you have to catch the extended arm? this is a simple side kick when opponent throws a punch. I even see some idiots in UFC punching air all the time. though not many ppl in UFC can actually kick.

wery goo shot too hit

whats the best fighting techniqe .. kung fu isnt it?

I think i can link a armbar to that as well, just use the momentum of the kick to boast your self over the neck and get the other leg over. Sound confusing, watch the video closely.

who whachin in 2016?

Finish him!!!

it can be easy but u must have good refexes once u catch his hand he done bascally

thats true but it leaves u off balance and mostly targets the body which can take more punishment then the face/head. if u ever watch k-1 kick boxing, you see guys throw kicks and their opponents take the kick to the body and punch the guy in the face before the guy's leg comes back down. BUT if u get caught with those kicks to the head, game over

well different organizations have different rules. like pride allowed knees to the head of downed opponents but no elbows to the head of downed opponents. UFC did the oppossite. so im not sure if this move is illegal in UFC

Heel kick for maximum weight transfer.

I did this kick by accident or instinct in a friendly karate sparing match. My opponent lost his breathe and could not continue I apologized for the unintentional aggression.
