I completely agree. Throwing that left arm to wrap your face has saved me from some really hard counter shots.

I always wondered that, throwing a low kick with full guard is very uncomfortable. Guarding the face with your left is simple and effective!

@@_hi_pwr Yeah...it kinda guards you, at least decently enough, against any snap counters that your opponent may throw at you, right at the moment when you're executing that low roundhouse kick to the opponent's outer thigh.

I can’t still comprehend HOW BLESSED I WAS TO HAD You (SENSE IVAN HIPPOLITE ) my trainer back in 2007/2009 VOS GYM ADAM ..!!!

My muay thai trainer has a slightly different approach...he lefts his hand towards the opponent's face, like from his face towards the opponent's face, and brings the other hand to cover the face in the same time, and the kick is still strongly delivered

Yes this is what I was taught too, I feel like it’s important to know different ways so that u can be more unpredictable

I teach it this way as well as by chopping the arm outwards as a frame between you and your opponent. Unpredictability is essential.

Very nice boss

Mr Hippolyte chambers his knee horizontal before throwing his kick just like Kyokushin Karate

Best way to throw a kick is too point at the face to protect yourself, faint and helps with hip rotation

Nice. I can see Thom Harrinck all over this. Bless 🙇🏾‍♂️ 🙏🏾 Sawadee Krup.

Exactly how I was thought pit norh

my Trainer teach it me the same way

100%

I disagree it’s a good way but I prefer dipping the head to the left while keeping a high guard on the left and dropping the right hand If left in the pocket after I duck dig left hook to the liver and exit with a right straight to the body usually sometimes the head while stepping back to reset/ avoid the counter from sitting in the pocket too long lol

He right

Best way to do a low kick is to throw it straight instead of Thai! Neither kick will be likely to end a fight, but if one does it’s the straight. I don’t care what you saw on tv. I’ve been hit in the thighs it hurts and hurts bad worst pain outside of the groin etc. but … it doesn’t end the fight at all! Myth!

I’m not a fan of that weak low kick. It hurts. But just ignore it and get your own moves off.
