But you can certainly save your knees and hips by learning to turn over and pivot. Its not just a better kick, it saves the rest of your joints.

So glad to see him teaching that the lower shin and foot is strong. I train at two clubs and at one of them, whenever I do a roundhouse, they tell me it’s wrong and should be higher on the shin. I agree with that, only if you’re close. If you’re at range, this is the perfect technique.

Preferences/pros and cons. The ankle is dangerous because slight movement and you hit all foot. Could go bad. Also if you hit mid/low shin instead of low shin/ankle you can do more upright kicks to legs/body that don't turn over as much and still connect hard (ex-liam Harrison). Learn both and learn why and when

Fighting evolves

Its so hard to tell where Saenchai is putting that kick.... Smooth as butter

I remember Bas Ruten making this same point and what he was saying is kicking in an upward trajectory like Senchae is advising against is dangerous for you because your shin bone is like a yard stick.. it’s flat on the inner part of the leg. So the risk of your breaking your shin bone is much higher if you are hitting the side of the yardstick. By rotating your hips over, you strike with the edge of the yardstick, and avoid damage.

@i.c.wiener2750

5 ай бұрын

Yea, you also have no power kicking upward. On the other hand the "new" kicking meta of the UFC are the "wrong" kicks you are talking about because you can throw them without much telegraphing. And the stance of MMA doesn't really allow for quick kick blocks like in Muay Thai.

"This. No power. This. Power!"😂

Amazing! So accurate and powerful!

The area he pointed out, where the foot connects with the distal part of the lower leg... Hurts super bad when you kick a shin or anything solid!

The guy's a technician, he's not just blasting randomly with his shin. If he's aiming for a thigh or a rib with his instep, it's because he's sighted the target and knows it won't get checked. Kicks with that part are also longer range and a bit quicker than a shin impact. There are many different types of muay Thai fighters, not all of them do things the exact same way

A good way to “feel it” is to picture you shoulder and knee going through your target. Also do not lean back too much or your hip won’t, actually can’t roll over. Stay upright on your kick, don’t lean back.

Obviously his technique is amazing and the angle of the kick is perfect etc, but I was taught in Muay Thai, and I’ve experienced that landing a kick at the junction between foot and shin can really hurt and over extend the ankle unless it’s a head or body shot, I was taught to connect slightly above the ankle, bottom of shin, whenever throwing a mid /low kick, if the opponent checks your kick and it’s the point where the foot meets the shin, it’s gonna hurt! Obviously the protective gear helps, and A LOT of conditioning! Not questioning the master, just saying ha

You need to be super flexible to do kicks like this, easy for a small thai like Saenchai to do it but for most westerners it takes years of practice, to be honest our hips just dont work like thais. The rotation is what makes the power, so if you are tight make sure you have a solid warm up before a sesh and a good stretch after and don't over do it! Happy fighting ✊️✊️✊️

The kickboxing style in my opinion is only good for resetting your opponent. If you’ve already knocked your opponent off their center line you should utilize a Muay Thai style kick so you can get all the power from your hips. If your opponent is out of position they can’t punish the extra movement as easily.

Pereira: 👺

Amazing

O mito a lenda... sunshine🎉🎉🎉

I got my knees twisted.. now new pain unlocked. Knee pain😂

he explaining shit like this one vietnamese coworker i had lmao

That kicks has so much range instead of hitting with the middle part of the shin! You can virtually keep them on the outside and kick staying out of pocket punches!

I knew that before I found out it's the true way to kick that's crazy 😮

Pereira makes it work

I was also taught in Muay Thai to kick with that part of the foot, not the shin bone. Sure, the shin might hurt more, especially if you hit with the edgy part (which in my case is very sharp like a knife 😂), But you will need to be closer to your opponent which makes you more prone to get punched, and you will have less power cause less centrifugal force.

La gran mayoría de la gente esta confundida con la forma de patear en kik moai tay la pierna sale desde abajo en diagonal y justo cuando pega gira la cadera, es como si te dieran con un palo.

This kicking stance must be used in situations where we see the opponent's vulnerable goal. Then be confident that you will be able to kick without missing the target. Or the opponent didn't expect that we would kick with that part until the opponent didn't notice. We do things that our opponents cannot predict. In the Thai boxing association, we call it “liam muay” or it means intelligence in boxing. Including making the opponent unexpected about how we will solve the situation.
