@@CowBoy_Anthony Well then, you have to have your priorities in order, you don't have to listen to your kickboxing master, if there's not an actual reason then you can practice it without caring what he thinks

I have always had tight hamstrings and hips, I tried all kind of stretches through my life and none of them gave me even only 10% of the mobility and flexibility gains that I had in my first couple of months doing Muay Thai. If you analyse it, kicking is not only a dynamic stretch but works with all body parts at the same time, making it a functional stretch. Nothing worked for me better for mobility and flexibility than kicking.

100 percent. I’ve done Muay Thai now for about 1.5 years and my flexibility is atleast 50 percent better than it was when I started. I stretch a little now and do some yoga, but I’ve found that throwing lots of head height kicks on the bag has really opened my hips up. I almost throw like a controlled light sparring speed kick up on the bag and just really worth the mechanics. Helps a lot.

I'm loving the drawing ❤

I love the animations on these videos, just like the way me and my mates used to sketch Bruce Lee and Arny in the 80's at Primary School! Superb to see the horse stance and kicks broken down through the sketch which gets coloured in, brilliant

I was also in karate i wone 9 gold medal and 2 silver medal in state level karate this video is very informative ❤

Great knowledge and presentation. 👏 I love the page turning sounds, too!

I hope you make more videos frequently. I seriously enjoy them. Good work, brother

Bruce Lee's so called "Side Kick" is unorthodoxed. It generates power more like a back kick but passes as a side kick. Very unique. Yes it is powerful best used as a counter attack.

The step side kick is part of Army combatives also. So it remains in the modern battlefield. You can read the combatived field manual and see the drills for it.

Whenever i do a side kick, i slightly bend the front leg (usually my left) and extend it right before contact for extra power. Its a bit harder to catch your balance after the kick but i already got used to it

one thing I recommend is adding an orthodox and southpaw stances and attacks so it is easier for those to copy just reverse your pictures and label it southpaw

Saw the channel and clicked, didnt even need to see the video to know I'd learn something

Awesome style and info! Thanks! (The taekwondo fighter in me says: Everythink is correct.)

Can you make video talking about the roundhouse kick sometime in the future?

Sanda practitioner here, if you re wandering why this isnt used in Muay Thai or kickboxing as much as it is in Sanda or MMA, its because this kick works well to destabilize oppoents and open them for takedowns , something that is less importnat in MT or Kb given that there is no throws.

make more videos 💪💪🤜

ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE!!! MORE CONTENT

the thing about Bruce Lee is that he's a sleeper build. The guy practices on a 900 lb bag and casually send em swinging and flying. Imagine if he put emphasis on volume training and not just endurance and strength. That added mass would easily make him do casual strikes close to a 1 ton instead of them being haymakers.

Imo the most powerful is roundhouse or spinning hook,but side kicks are fast

unfortunately no, I just watched my father do illustrations as a kid and mimiced him. as i got older i got a few books and watched some youtube videos to find more effective techniques. For me the fastest and most reliable technique seems to be quick, sketchy gesture drawings on one layer and then open another layer on top and make the finished line art. The "Force: dynamic life drawing" book probably helped me the most. Hope this helps some, best of luck

@Demonstormlord

5 ай бұрын

The arm swing helps with balance and counter-rotation (if you've ever sat on an office chair and spun without using your legs, you know what that is). Pereira doesn't arm swing because he barely commits his hips to kicks in the first place. He still has a lot of power because he is a giant muscle man, and the calf can't take much damage anyway.

Please talk about flexibility and splits

Its hard to say without seeing you particular issue, but an overall good recommendation for most people would be adding 90/90 hip rotations (also called shin box), couch stretches, and an elevated pigeon stretch. This will loosen up the hips in most people, though I've also seen people who need to really focus on lengthening the adductors, in which case horse stances or wide, bodyweight sumo squats are really helpful as well.

@@KimomoDragon Hmmm.... well, if your center of gravity is lower compared to that of your opponent you will have an advantage in terms of power when kicking to the legs. So it might not change your overall power for each kick, but it may change the relative power your able to utilize against an opponent. It would also mean you need more upward thrust when kicking to the body or head, but honestly upward thrust is usually easiest to achieve with the side kick anyway. So, I guess I would assume it mainly benefits you if you can use lower kicks and inside kicks, but probably would change the power much when just kicking a heavy bag.

Really Bruce Lee made this kick popular?? Like you know how long the sidekick has been around in karate Taekwondo and kung fu? It's kind of like how people say Bruce Lee what's the grandfather of MMA when really he wasn't

@moversodyssey

5 ай бұрын

It may have been around for thousands of years, but to the modern, western, mainstream consciousness, it wasn't well known until Bruce Lee popularized it and eastern martial arts in general. It was because of his hollywood movies that karate and kung fu experienced an explosion of popularity in the U.S., without which it would probably still be a fringe community. Yoga and kettlebells were around for centuries as well, doesn't mean people here were aware of it until recently.

Just for your information, sidekick was never used in old capoeira; neither it was used in old karate. Sidekick is a lousy kick, that is why it was never used in any of the 'real' old martial arts; it became fashionable only with the degeneration of martial arts in modern age.

@moversodyssey

5 ай бұрын

Come on now, how you going to single out the side kick and hate on it, it's as good a kick as any other. All depends on the situation and the practitioner. It's been used quite well in MMA, especially the spinning side and as a counter. And the standard side kick isn't used in capoeira, but variations of it are, like the one shown in the video. I personally used low front kicks and rounds kicks more often, but every now and then you get a great opening for a side kick and it can really make a big impact. Plus, as a bonus, it looks pretty cool.

So , karate doesn't exist

the difference between the spinning back kick and spinning side kick is very small biomechanically. And while I know some fighters who are stronger with the back kick, I know just as many who are stronger with the side kick, myself included. I've also met fighters who's strongest kick is a round kick. It's not as simple as assuming one kick is always more powerful, and the spinning back kick, even when more powerful than a spinning side, is certainly not twice as strong.
