5 Mistakes People Make w/ Leg Kicks in MMA

[@admiralhyperspace0015]

So: 1. Be at a good distance. 2. Set it up with fakes, paries, pressure and combos. 3. Get your head of the centre line 4. Rotate your leg and hit with the shin. 5. Retract fast and step at an angle.

[@evancarr]

2 weeks out from a fight and Vince is still shootin videos for the Underdogs? so stoked for this one.

[@DavidAdkinsbrewermonk]

If you can throw a kick at 50mph, you'd better be able to pull it back at 100mph.

[@wrestler-kickboxer2524]

Not necessarily. Some people prefer to kick right through their opponent and turn the hip for power, causing their opponent to be off balanced. Guys like Aldo, Moraes, Barboza, Nunes, do it and almost never get countered.

[@DMNSMN]

Not not necessarily, not everyone kicks like they do nor has good technique, I always hit the same way I chamber.

So many people who are inexperienced in MMA always think that you kick with your foot

[@Soriichi]

Tae kwon do is also areason why too.A lot of tkd does kicks with the foot.

[@robertgriffis7682]

@@Soriichi also some Sanda practitioners with more traditional BGs and shotokan Karate practitioners. It's not all bad to kick with the foot though and mix it up. The problem is that people don't change their methods when using different weapons

[@noahjones21]

Lmao you can kick with your foot tf, check out Stephen Thompson

[@Thomogon]

Yeah in TKD and more traditional martial arts people kick with the foot because it generates more power. The down side is that your foot is made up of a lot of tiny fragile bones just like your hand. Your shin is not only one of the three strongest bones in your body but also a much larger bone which gives more room for error. If someone checks your kick when you kick with the shin you both get hurt but when you kick with your foot and your kick gets checked or blocked you really risk breaking your foot. Kicking with your foot has it's time and place, and it also depends on what part of the foot your kick with but in the end it's not really worth the extra reach and velocity.

[@ronaldson57]

I see alot of taekwondo, karate and other fighters use there foot to kick which isnt wrong but i do prefer kicking with the shins from experience of receiving leg kick with the foot and shin are big huge difference foot feel like wet belt slapping your thigh but the shin feel like baseball bat or steel pole hitting your thigh very much more effective in my opinion

[@LivingLikeLu]

Wrestler of 10 years and a lover of all things MMA. I have found very profound knowledge in your instruction. Thank you for the insightful tips. I really liked the one about keeping your head on the centerline because you made an excellent point about how fighters are just going to randomly throw jabs or crosses during the middle of the fight from pure instinct. it simply makes sense that your head on the centerline is a recipe for disaster because you make yourself an easy target for your opponents’ instinctive attacks.

[@LivingLikeLu]

NPC ahh response

[@kevins2749]

Could you do one for throwing the front kick/switch kick?

[@Eli_skips]

Pedro Rizzo still has one of the most killer leg kicks. His legs were thick as well. I doubt he would break his shin.

[@hb9145]

8 years of Muay Thai here: In order to avoid counters, I always set low kicks up with a jab or a combination of straight punches, extended the arm towards the opponent and opened the glove across his eyes. For instance a regular left jab, start the kick, then switch hands and open your right glove across the opponent's eyes to control distance and avoid counters. You will lose a little power, but you won't get countered and you will land more often. Rob Kaman used this with great success. Oh, and very efficient leg kicks should have a round and slight downward angle. MMA-fighters tend to kick slightly upwards. Look at how Teerapong Kaeowisaet demolished Luca Genovese with just a few kics. This is how it's done.

Extremely helpful!

[@vajraman2067]

Great video guys.

[@Turco949]

Anyone who has trained or is training kicks should already know these so for anyone new to kicking, my only advice would be to not throw any kicks at all because an inexperienced person is likely to not know how to properly throw an effective kick, and also her/his legs (more so their bones) will not be conditioned/hardened enough to handle the impact. Bones get stronger as they are stressed with each strike even on a softer punching bag. It builds over time so a person that never kicked a punching bag kicking another person's leg could end up being a very big mistake.

Its better to strike with a leg kick when catching your opponent by surprise or else they could check the kick or the opponent would throw an overhand if your not guarding your face

[@abuzariqbaI]

With the improper recoil w the leg kicks. Ik that i brig my back foot kinda slow so i use my front kick to leg kick. It feels so much quicker but the only thing is is that it is my weaker foot but i dont really mind because in sparring, they say that they couldnt check it and that their legs were hurting

[@tword5687]

[@danielbalcazar2006]

Silva did turn over, watch it again, just that the thin part of the shin hit a bent knee, you should always try to block shin kicks with a bent knee its just a stronger structure.

[@pauldigga5419]

Yeah you’re right. He hit with the ankle on the knee. Weakest park of the shin. Shit happens. He wasn’t really committing to the kicks.

[@frankwagner3659]

Is it legal to target the knees with a front snap kick? I've never seen it used, but when done right it can shatter kneecaps.

[@ttchme9816]

Perhaps but it was most likely banned since these rules forbid you to land permanent damage. And damaging the knee is definitely not a good idea. Even for yourself. If you've broken someone's arm before you'll know what I'm saying.

[@johnhall7350]

Yes it's legal by ufc rules

Ey Shane! Is it true that strength doesn't = power, but would strength help at all? People keep annoying me with that, that my speed, and skill isn't enough, I need strength and whatever... I need to ask it if I need strength at all? I have high speed and power, but should I focus on strength at all? I really need to know it from someone with experience!

[@cristhiancamarena856]

What generated power in one punch is the speed of the technique, and for transfer that speed and power correctly you have to work in your technique on the first place, train strenght will help with the explosiveness and the speed of the technique, that will generate power, but the strenght itself will not, you wont push your opponent Or something like that, you want impact, speed and technique.

All in all, if you practice that inside leg kick, sure it won’t looks as pretty as Justin’s but I promise you it does damage and can be done safely

[@ttchme9816]

Leg kicks is used rarely because of how insignificant they look but if you are a good leg kicker , you'll drop your opponent down before they does you. I found that if you were very up close, you should go for their shin area, you are combating your leg with their shin and it'll hurt alot for them if you land a clean hit. As always, our body is not made to throw a kick to the head. kick is not meant to thrown to the head in a natural way. So try not to use high kick much because it gets your defend down.

[@astral8175]

A question, can I fight someone 6-7 years older than me? He is like a foot taller than me can I still win?

[@sebfox2194]

Probably not a good idea. You have to be a far better fighter than your opponent in order to overcome such a large size and strength difference. And the fact that you are asking this question in the first place shows that you probably don't know enough to beat a much larger and stronger opponent. Start learning how to fight. Train in Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, or Jiu-jitsu. After you start getting good at one or more of these you will be in a better position to judge whether you can beat someone else or not. If you are not trained in anything right now, then a much bigger opponent will probably beat you.
