I did NOT expect the snapping front kick to be higher than the pushing one. Wild

The pushing front kick most likely has more power for most, but over a slightly longer period of time.

The push kick majors on momentum, which the powerkube doesn't measure. Easiest way to see the difference is just try the different kicks on a heavy bag and see which swings it the most.

Everyone knows Force = mass x acceleration but people forget impact force is kinetic energy over the distance travelled. From both equations you can see the biggest difference between the teep vs the front snap kick would most likely be the speed generated at impact

Thanks for the video

Great stuff! From a Kukkiwon Taekwondo perspective, the techniques are: 1) Front Push Kick / Mireo Ap Chagi / 밀어 앞 차기 2) Front Kick / Ap Chagi / 앞 차기 3) Front Foot Side Kick / Ap Bal Yeop Chagi / 앞 발 옆 차기 (sometimes called Lead Side Kick) 4) Fast Side Kick / Ppaleun Bal Yeop Chagi / 빠른 발 옆 차기 (sometimes called Sliding Side Kick or Skipping Side Kick) 5) Turning Side Kick / Dwi Dora Yeop Chagi / 뒤 돌아 옆 차기 옆 차기 (sometimes called Back Side Kick) *** *** Not to be confused with the technique of Back Kick / Dwi Chagi / 뒤 차기 - while some people don't make the distinction, a Back Turning Side Kick is a different technique than a Back Kick (sometimes called Spinning Side Kick and Spinning Back Kick but in my opinion neither technique are spins, they're dorsal turning movements). Happy to see WB's foot healed up! I'd like to see you guys compare your Back Turning Side Kick to your Back Kick.

Kudos for calling it “Kukkiwon Taekwondo” and not “WT Taekwondo”.

I’m a Uechi Ryu Karate Do South American practicioner since the 80’s and I want to say: Congratulations for the excellent content of this channel, WB! 👋👋

i have a sidekick that is like a "turn snap sidekick" basically frontchamber and you snap pivot and thrust at the same time so that is as fast as a normal front kick but it has no blind spots.

Hey Stephen, I just want to say I love what you do for the community! Thank you so much!

Guru can't run from Sweet T forever...

Awesome video to watch,thank you

my sensei's naming conventions for these kicks might help -Front Push kick: Horizontal path of attack, flat of foot at contact, then push with toe: heel-toe-push. meant to control distance and can push foe back, or push yourself back off of foe. (low/mod risk) -Front Heel kick: aka Sparta kick, aka Shield Kick/Stomp: horizontal path of attack, flat foot contact, but favoring the heel, (meant to both hurt and make space). can break ribs, solar plexus KO, make space, or even topple foe... or even all of the above... (low/mod risk) -Front Spear kick: Horizontal path of attack, just the ball makes contact, driven deep, less speed than the Snap Kick, More Damage, less push back, meant to crush organs/break ribs (any power pushing them back isn't crushing their organs/breaking ribs) -Front Snap kick: aka Karate Kick; Vertical or hybrid path of attack, strikes with ball (toes pulled up/back) or "laces" (top, toes curled down) of foot. Groin kick. gut kick that drives guts up into the ribcage (attacking the diaphragm even if you miss the solar plexus) or the chin for a KO, but with the risks of any head kick This was a Karate style and this differentiation isn't always necessary (you COULD just call them ALL a Teep or even a Chassé, for historical reasons))... but we separated them, which can be conceptually useful imo

These two bros are my favs on the interwebs! LOL

Love your content WB! You're the goat!

You guys are incredible 🎉

I’d like to see what numbers axe kicks and crescent kicks can put up. As well as elbows vs punches.

another banger by the best striker that has ever lived !🔥🔥🔥

Very nice! Axe kick and tornado kick plz

Wonderboy's side kick is a thing of beauty ❤

Spinning wheel kick next!

I just lovea these boyza.

What happened with the jumping kicks 😉 seriously, great content, you guys are awesome 👊

Thanks

The side kick can reach an opponent further away since your leg is extended completely aslo easier to hit under thier high guard like under the chin area while the front kick has the knee at an angle

Can you test the side kick shotokan style? I’ve seen them snapping it folding from the thigh, I’d be curious to see how it scores.

Can you do punch vs kick power?

Bust out them hooks, axe, and crescents!

what is the difference between a sparta kick and a teep?

I would have liked to see you guys throw fully extended Side kicks. it would be interesting to see how the machine evalutes those. If the powercube is too sturdy, take a step back in order to get full extention. Also, it looks like you guys hit with too much of the foot.

❤🇬🇷 What about punches? Which is stronger? Hook, overhand or straight punch?

Love you champ

what about the side teep? i wonder if that would be stronger than the push kick, karate front kick and regular side kick

Biomechanically you use more muscle fibers when performing a side kick therefore it produces more power

Don't you give away some of the energy when you kick from such a close distance? Btw - great video!

It would be interesting to see the power of a defensive side kick. Could sweet T run at you with it while you D Side it?

Is there a place to buy your T-Shirts? Thanks!

Ok so front snappy good, side kick ok for distraction, spin side devastating if you can land it, toast if ya don't , LOVE this stuff, THANKS

One thing I've noticed with the Powerkube videos (which could just be BS) is the speed and duration of the impact. Not in this video, but another one you guys filmed with about 5 guys total. There was one guy that was firing off his punch as soon as the machine was ready(I don't know if this helped him at all, just part of the observation) what he was doing was his speed was pretty good ( I don't know that he was the fastest) but I did notice that his time on target was shortest. It was impact, then snapping it back. Whereas some people would linger on the target, doing the old punch through and not worry about the reset, because it's a one punch machine. The guy was scoring pretty high, but he didn't look like he was hitting any harder than WB. It just made me curious. Lastly I wonder if it is displaying your peak power, or if it's displaying the average power of that punch. If it's the average power then the time on target would make way more sense if your peak is 100k,but your punch is a longer duration, you're not going to see anywhere near 100k on the readout of average power through the entirety of contact. I would assume it's a peak readout though. Just some interesting things I'd play around with to see how the machine functions if I were y'all. Could be why Alex Pereira shatter Ngannou's punch record at the Apex, I don't see Alex actually being a heavier hitter than Francis, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I beleive the cube is pressure based. So force over a larger area will output a lower score. And to your point, a more drawn out impact creates less peak pressure as the unit compresses. W.B. should make a video about interpreting power cube results.

Any reliability data regarding the Power kube?

How come you didn't do the Yoko Geri/Side Kick with the blade of the foot?

You should invite a Taekwondo Black Belt to test those and other kicks with you!

I have a mma question I was hoping you could answer why don’t we see backfists more often and I don’t mean the spinning variant. Does as much damage as a jab would so I don’t see why it isn’t used more.

I practice jeet kune do, and do sparring almost every session. I like using back fists often. It’s not about damage (and we spar light), but it’s fast, and comes from unexpected angles.

What data does the power kube measures and how does that become the number? Without that we can't take conclusions from it. Its just a marketing machine

Flying shit next please

Imagine if someone picks up a street fight with that bigger guy just assuming him a dad bod and after just one front kick his soul will realise the mistake

some karate guys or taekwondo guys also do the roundhouse kick with the ball of foot instead of the shin. SO maybe you can make this test ? which roundhouse kick is more powerful? the back of foot ? the shin? or the ball of foot?

regular rear kick and roundhouse kick?

How about you try a snapping side kick like Super Foot Wallace? I caught a guy once just throwing that relaxed and speedy in the gut and he went down like a sack of potates. Lift that knee high and use that front leg hip rotation to line it up...

Sweet T has a smooth lookin side kick.....😂

How about a lead leg front kick

Wonderboy, do you have random people that just show up to your gym trying to meet you? I would imagine that happens frequently.

Could Bruce Lee sidekick be used to the thigh?

On the stomp kick, neither of yall hit the center of the pad with your heel or the ball of the foot(push kick-ball of foot/stomp kick-heel of foot) so you ended up with the arch of your feet at the sensor with most of your force on the top and bottom. Not an accurate sample because they weren't accurate kicks. I feel the same way about the way yall threw the sidekicks. Not really hitting the center with your heel and possibly being a little too close to the pad. Definitely too close on the spinning side kick. You're only getting the power from the body rotation there and not the follow through.

is wonderboy fighting again in the ufc?

The teep vs front snap kick is surprising but then again id much rather get teeped than take a clean front snap kick to the gut

WB! YOUR TUMMY IS LOOKING BIGGER THAN MINE WHAT THE HECK?!?

The tru value would be max power output with the least amount of effort. Wonderboy sidekick is the master of efficiency.

Moral of the story, if Sweet T is after u, run for your life & hope he gets too tired to catch u. If he does catch u, r.i.p. 😂

I’m a big side kick fan. And always wonder why it gets such a bad rap. However I see when people use it, it works. I definitely didn’t expect the snapping side kick to score that high. And I did expect the high score on the side kick.

Shawn Michaels had put so many to sleep using Sweet Chin music. So side kick is the king! MMA fighters can learn a thing or two from him. /s

What is everyone’s favorite kick? Mines by far the spinning hook.

just for fun, but scorpion kick! I broke a 2in pine board with a scorpion kick and it was not easy at the time.

I felt that horsekick (like a spinning sidekick but you kick with your back towards your opponent, toes down heel up) was faster, harder and less telegraphed than the spinning sidekick. Bitch to aim though. Cheers

We need wb on mighty mouse podcast

Fights can actually be entirely avoided w regular kick backs

Where are the mawashis???

I like to call the push kick the "Chael Sonnen" cause I CAN'T LET YOU GET CLOSE TO ME!

Sweet T getting cocky, lucky him his Big bro is the undisputed NMF

Side kicks require a lot of flexibility and training front kicks are easier

*When is Wonder boy going to come out it's 2024.*

🥋

Before I watch, I'll say "the one that works" Although I think side kick can have so much power if trained properly.

Max Holloway!!! Switch side off back foot to the hip.

I once put a debt in a car fender with a spin kick. The driver (drunk) ran over my toe as I was crossing the street in the crosswalk. She (or, her car anyway) had it coming. She jumped out of the car, followed by her two Russian bouncer-type friends . . . I thought "well - this is it . . . " She walked up to me - and (without a word) sucker punched me in the jaw. I didn't flinch (it wasn't that powerful). But, I didn't respond either. 'Cuz I knew what was coming next if I did. Anyhoo . . . Spin kicks do damage Look both ways Avoid Russian bouncers

wow

Thai style push kick they turn hip more

If Steven Seagal showed these boys the proper technique...1,000,000 easy

Need a punching bag plz plz plz

You met Jack Black?!

Sweet side to your lead hip would stop your forward, sec.

Sorry Wonder boy and Sweet T the most impressive thing here is at 5:24 Jack Black being able to get a kick that high😲😲😲😲👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

The best side kick is obviously Sweet T

Spin sidekick or turning sidekick? Thoughts?

Love WB but he's not doing the Bruce Lee side kick correct! He's sliding his feet. He needs to hop. You're sapped to cover far more distance and get airborne and have your entire back hips / butt pointing at your target for the release / thrust of the side kick. Pause Bruce to see what I'm saying. Ive practiced this kick 1000's of time back in the 80's.
