@@Hexenhammer tbh if you look at Golden Era Mua Thai fighters quite a lot of the techniques crop up. If you pop out a front leg sidekick and the 'Muay Thai Police' say anything, just tell them to have a word with Samart about it ;) I'm about to make the switch to Muay Thai from Tang Soo Do, and it was partly seeing the old school use those techniques that convinced me.

I practiced tae Kwon do and now I train Muay Thai. I use the side kick to keep distance and the spining kick to counter strike both work really well. Also the spining heel kick can put you to sleep but is very technical. Great video

[@georgekondylis6723]

As someone who has taught and practiced Tae Kwon Do for 40 years , I can attest to its effectiveness, both in the ring and on the street. The main issue with using the foot as a striking surface, specifically with the roundhouse, as opposed to the shin, is the wear and tear on the small bones of the foot. With shoes on this is lessened and the instep area is strengthened via shoe laces and tightening. And the reach is greater than with the shin. A good sidekick and all it’s variations are excellent additions to any fighter’s repertoire.

[@artjacobbermejo5780]

[@thedude8227]

yeah she was probably doing it slowly so the people could see (can't do it slowmo otherwise), but the art of that kick is doing it one motion in order to 'save' a lost roundhouse kick and harnessing its momentum.

[@nzt1423]

Not round but back kick. If you get to "turn" before hitting youre doing it wrong; wasting time, poyecting, is easy to block and leave you exposed. Capoeira being the whorst example... 80s karate movies the most common. Tkd has its flaws (hands wise) but we see those in slo mo. They do take the upper body away, wich is a + sometimes

My most favorite tkd techniques are all of them, as a person who does muay thai with a tkd background, I've applied tkd techniques to muay thai in a sparring match, all of them are useful, but I recommend using side push kicks the most because it's really good with keeping your distance and hitting good body blows.

I just started kickboxing lessons with a personal trainer this past week. Not purposely it was meant to keep me motivated and get in cardio and core work that I was missing on my own. She introduced me to this and I love it. It’s a serious workout. I’ve landed my foot in the wrong place a few times so some soreness has occurred.

I like these from TKD: 1.Jumping double roundhouse,first to the thigh+other leg to the head.(alt. faking the first kick and just jumping for the headkick ,better for covering long distance) 2.Front leg sidekick(skipping for longer distance) - back leg back kick. 3.Front leg skipping outer cresent kick to the head(to close distance and break guard) - back leg roundhouse to the ribs. 4.Faking roundhouse to the ribs - same leg kick to the head. for defense: 5.Defending with a back kick; jump backwards and pivot to your own stomach side - execute back kick. 6.Defending with back leg roundhouse; jump backwards drawing your front leg back - execute roundhouse kick with back leg.

[@georgenunez5760]

Mines 3 favorite kicks are the tornado kick the side kick and the spinning back kick

[@notmyname3681]

For me the 'snap' roundhouse to the head would be in there. Lacks the power of the Muay Thai kick but it's faster and comes in at an angle MT/Kickboxers aren't so used to if they've never done TKD/TSD. And while it isn't as powerful as the MT kick the snap can still put somebody down if it lands clean.

[@seanfagan]

Yea the snap roundhouse is definitely hard to see coming and can do some serious damage

[@PaulBanasiak]

That is a tricky one for sure, sometimes the more experienced guys are used to a certain timing and trajectory of the kick. Good idea.

[@marsoc0326]

For sure it throws the timing off and you can tell when you see their face (if you didnt knock them out) and theyre like "where the fuck was the switch at?"lol

nemoj me marat buraz i typically train fasted for my morning training or just have a coconut water or banana. But I’ll try to make a video in the near future to go more in-depth.

For supplements I use PNP supplements and just take post training protein and recovery mix

[@goodmantruth8185]

For me, hill kick with the back leg was always effective. I fired a few roundhouse kicks to set up my hill kick. So started my hill kick wide, like a Thai kick style roundhousewhen and I turn it into a hill kick. The worst what one of my sparing partners did is. He tried to turn his head away from the roundhouse kick, right into my hill kick. Another trick with hill kick is to set it up with a jab. Another of my favorite fake combo is. I start with a back leg thai kick and I over spin, so my back facing my opponent and then with the same leg I fire a back kick. It is very effective, especially when my sparring partner moves forward. One more. Fake the front kick with a back leg to the body, and then turn it into a roundhouse kick. Have a nice kicking.

[@paulshearer9140]

Represented my country in TKD and studied MT and kickboxing for many years, both are great but MT/kickboxing are far more practical for self defense in my humble opinion. Having said that, I totally agree that TKD kicks can be applied to MT, MMA and Kickboxing. I found my TKD kicks always gave me an advantage in MT and kickboxing. One thing I disagree with was Cassie's advice to look before you throw the spinning back kick, it slows you down considerably and I found did not necessarily increase the success rate, especially if thrown at the right time, when an opponent is coming on. Great video, thanks guys.

[@mpanini5694]

As a tkd guy, there should be no pause when doing spinning techniques. Completing the kick and looking at the target happens in one motion (although step by step is good practice). You usually fully look back by the time your leg is chambered and ready to throw ✌️

[@TheVictorsCircle]

Way back in the 90's we used a kick we call a '"double roundhouse", which is very similar to what is now known as the Question Mark Kick. Basically you fake a rear leg 45 and swivel to a high Roundhouse.

Ax kick and for sure going to use it.Im a older guy that live's around a lot of young punk's that have made my family's life here in Dallas a living hell. So been looking for a style to toss something they may have not seen before to throw them off some and give me some kind of edge. Like you said your never too old and at 48 I think I still have a few left in me. My son heard one of them call me something and fought him without me around. The guy kicked him over an over when he was down and put him in the hospital so the old man's going to hit the gym again. Hoping by summer's end to put it all to bed and get in shape at the same time. No one like's to get old but if you going to do it may as well go out fighting. Love everything you do and have learned so much from just watching. Can't wait to use that Ax kick though for real,I always catch the other guy with my drop sweep and it's been seen too much. Sorry for the long post just wanted you to know you have been a big help and cant wait to watch more.

[@colalightyear7859]

That sounds harsh. I guess Dallas is not a nice city to live in many places, but can you not call the police/move somewhere else/call in some other authority? While the actions of your son are understandable, it is just words. The asshole punk just tried to provoke him. He does not have to physically fight him/them. Unfortunately without you cannot change all people around you/fight everyone into submission, so look for a different solution. Constantly having to watch out for yourself does not sound healthy.

just 2 small things : 1/ the spining back kick has 2 variant, the one you show wich is good when oponent is not too close or not coming at you (also is good as you can change the kick once armed if you need to improvise). but in case of the oponent coming to you or too close you can do the one where you pass the feet as close as possible from the knee and then heel kick, for this one you only turn 90degree less (in tkd we call them 1/ dora yop tchagui 2/ dora duit tchagui) 2/ the spining weel kick, can be made with the leg straight or you can turn with the leg "folded" then make a hook at the impact (madolio furio tchagui and mandolio nacko tchagui). when you do it with the legstraight it s important to put the leg as qui a possible n the back (to make a new kick), when the leg is armed and rearmed technique it allow you to put the leg in front or even make a dolyo tchagui if you missed.

Example... side kick, kicking from the flor not from the chamber, while Joe Rogan's side k. and TURNING side k are out of this world. While the women on the video understands the tehniques, the demo wasn't good. Exemple, there is stiffl-legged spinning back kick, the tradicional one is performed while the knee is tucked and just before the connection is released and also the spinning leg must rotate on the fingers, but that aint easy sometimes because of the matt material... Axe kick has more varirations and also starts with the knee tucked. Tornado k has only one movement with no extra skip. I may shit too much, but dont show someting that is not well understood from your side. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Much love from Croatia.

My favorite it’s the side kick too. It’s not a very complex move, so it’s easy to do it. But you need to be on your sides, and in that position sometimes is hard for you to defend against your opponents kicks. But still, as Sean felt it, it’s very powerful.

Yea I agree. I like the simplicity to it too

Side kick and turning side kick

The side kick and back kick are perfect additions for a punch/teep pyramid, but my favorite taekwondo kicks to adapt to muay thai are the "fast kick" (lead-leg roundhouse kick--it might not hit as hard as a switch kick but the speed and range are better), and the crescent kick and regular non-spinning hook kick (because their trajectories are just *so* unorthodox compared to the usual muay thai package and they're natural extensions of the check as I perform it)

[@seanfagan]

Well said 👏

With the ax kick. What are you aiming at? Not sure it would work unless you have enough flexibility to get it up to head level and come down on top.

[@daylejanzendayao1255]

add crescent kicks and front kicks to chin next time it is useful in sparring sessions as a surprise offense in mid range

Just an observation Sean (and Cassie) the spinning back kick is not the same as the side kick - "Dwit Chagi". There is a version which is called the spinning side kick - Bandae Yop Chagi (which is what you're doing), but in the actual spinnin back kick your body doesnt end sideways, your back should be facin the opponent and the force come from the spin and from the power of your kick that goes straight towards the opponent and your upper body going the opposite way.

I like to do a round kick but pull it by keeping my knee bent and following through. As my foot touches down I like to throw the side kick. Or sometimes just keeping it chambered on the follow though and then throwing the side kick. Also I use the intentional, or not, miss on the round kick and turning it into a spinning back kick

[@nzt1423]

Visualize till you dont have to. Do it as high as your knees the first 1000 times, then repeat so you stop spinning like a butterfly and it looks like a straight kick with extra torque.

[@richierichtaylor1928]

Always watch the sport and art of muay thai, kickboxing and taekwondo but truly how many kicks are there through martial arts? Basics, advanced, jumps and spins is it 50 to 52 kicks? thankyou for any information! :-)

[@h.l9635]

Im no champ, but have been sparring for 10ish years and that spinning wheel kick is the only kick that has nearly ko'd me. It works like a charm. :)

[@seanfagan]

Yea that stuff is no joke!
