[@grahammason6466]

Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect Thank you Shane

[@Tiago-sh5kz]

Awesome video. Most trainers don't even goes to the details, just knee the shit out of the bag and be happy. Then the injuries come.

[@offtherecord912]

I love throwing knees. Only downfall is I have short hamstrings... I've beem working on stretching them (left is shorter than the right) I typically tend to fake out with a one-two (fake right , follow through left jab , following through with either knee within one motion, in a matter of a second) people's reaction time and experience determines a lot when dishing this out. I still need a lot of practice before I can throw heavy knees like you're following through with. My main problem is stopping the energy with the follow through. Like you said "aim for the spine", the follow through is everything. I'm self taught and practice nearly every day, although I still have a long ways to go. Fighting is my forte, and I'm pretty passive. But, it's instinct. I'd enjoy to have a good sparring partner to practice with. Defense, offense, straight forward, technique, follow through, and PRACTICE. I haven't sparred or fought with anyone who can help me gain more experience and momentum in my kickboxing/fighting. Practicing alone can only get you so far. Real life experience can throw you for a loop even if you've had the practice. It's a different story when your adrenaline is pumping, you're nervous, hesitant, angry/, emotional. Conquering your fear and emotion is key to keeping a steady, level head, while fighting with technique is easier said than done. A lot of you can probably relate, as well as a lot cannot. I do not condone fighting for pleasure or for fun. But, when you've got to defend yourself or others it's wise not to walk into something you cannot handle or overcome. Lots of folks say "the bigger they are the harder they fall." I tend to disagree with that statement unless you know what you're doing. I've got my ass kicked by those bigger and some smaller than myself, and I'm pretty small considering. Size isn't everything, though. Wear em out and wait for your opportunity to strike with force. Don't drain yourself before things pop off. You never know what to expect. Mainly due to fighting multiple people at once, at least in my experience. I'm just ranting now... anyways, I wear weighted anklets and practice jabs with 10-20lb weights. Before you know it you'll be tossing hooks, jabs, kicks, knees, etc.,like your picking up paper. There is always room for improvement and learning.

Shane idk if you remember me, I know you have millions lol. But years ago, I started watching your videos when trying to correct my boxing / Muay Thai at way beginner level. Just practicing running miles, shadowboxing and hitting a basketball pole w a pad on it. Using the towel technique, this was when I recently graduated from high school, Fast forward now, I’m at year two of some more intermediate jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, karate, wing chun, wrestling. All the above. The greatest thing I realized was that 1) I no longer watch your videos, this one just came up. I look for more specific things, like pivots on the ankle and such such. The ligament of a knee. 2) is that I’m actually (currently in Mexico practicing in the slums ) but im training at actual gyms. Working my way toward my first amateur fight. (Also watched your video as to when to know when you’d be ready, I am more then ready, excited, I can’t wait to get home, train like an animal. And finally get my shot in the cage. And I can sincerely say, beyond myself, it all started with a video from Fight Tips - tips for the underdog. Love you brotha. Keep up the hard work.

[@bambreez]

I take this back, this one’s pretty specific 😂 heard the tibia line. Your excellent bro

[@theodorul4085]

dude this videos are so freaking helpful with the amazing information you put out there even at the end of the video you said that a good way to see whatcha doing right or wrong is to record, like additional tip. Thank you ma man

[@bartschnurr8449]

3:04 this is like something i really cannot watch without feeling awkward af

[@evanjohnson6723]

Yo i never knew i could wobble my knee cap thx dude

[@evanjohnson6723]

internetmaster1 no srsly i really dude didnt know ive only ever graised my knee cause iv only ever really hurt my hips or ankles XD

[@DivineOwl]

just wanted to write that its something unnatural and u should go to the doctor. But then i checked myself... >_< omg its disgusting

[@RahulKumar-go9hr]

[@raynavarrette5025]

I love this all your stuff on Muay Thai

[@anthonyelvins647]

This is very good video I’m a Thai/English and I been training many Thai form a very young age and never stoped this video is very good and I heavily recommend this video to my fellow beginner

[@ThomasHalsey-xs7sf]

i love all the different knee strikes man its so fun

[@norro-criticalops1704]

THANKS BRO! I Will forget all of your videos in a fight but thanks

[@JourneyToTheCage]

Norro - Critical Ops that’s why you need to find a gym and train

[@drhkleinert3245]

haha, Shane...after half an hour of your vids i learned more about right kicking than in decades of Taekwondo, Hapkido and FMA before. Thats why i say that a big black belt means nothing about the qualification of the Sifu/Sensei/Guro whatever..

[@savagecomedians6750]

0:44 even the bag started laughing

[@JohnBoen]

Thank you teacher. I needed that tune up!

[@drhkleinert3245]

And the best is: If you use it on the street (against a brawler and not in a ring against an experienced MT fighter) you can/will end the brawl with just one knee strike. Knee and ellbows are my fav bec i never was a high flexible kicker.

[@ralion9188]

Explained that very well. Thanks

[@Iamlightning333]

Super helpful!! I’m gonna try out the “tall, arms up high and crunch as you thrust” makes a lot of sense

[@strikingtiger-filipinomart5043]

[@orderofscribes]

2:48 but like john snow... I never bend the knee

[@SAIYANPRINCE777]

SneezyAnus bend the knee and you shall be victorious.

[@JakesPlace]

Huh? John Snow bends the knee all the time. It wad Mance Rayder who never bends the knee...

[@EmmanueliAdzoh]

SneezyAnus My dream is to become UFC world champion and inspire people along the way Follow my journey much love

[@ChamalMcv]

omg

[@shaunlin1728]

I can understand if you can't bend your knee if you have the arrow head still stuck in it. On a serious note, do it at your own risk. He's already warned you what might happen.

[@nestorriverarios7344]

I’ve been doing Muay Thai for about a year now. This video is great. Covered everything

[@TheMorgueLA]

6:21 "Wake me up before you go-go" *STARTS DANCING*

[@thinkmakeup9774]

Cool, thanks man, i was just practicing a few min ago and i was worried about my knee caps. Thank you for the info

[@doctormcgoveran2194]

excellent suggestions. I see the light.if some one is in the puffed up stage of starting a street fight in punch range a knee to to the stomach, throw your hands up against your head defensive posture elbows forward to a void the head punch as an opener, maybe he will catch an elbow with his fist if he swings and if he doesn't maybe that first opener knee will soften him up a bit.In a jail situation the often try to pick the guy up and drop him on his head.That knee may meet a face on the way in...

[@Coltbreath]

That last double knee action looks like an awesome drill! 👍🙏

[@DpshBN]

Right video

[@CelestialxPanda]

Thanks Shane!

[@scotthackney4747]

Thanks Shane.

[@user-bj8mm4lv6b]

Excellent advice

[@FaisalabdulWajid]

shane you gotta make a video on throwing knees & uppercuts to defend takedowns ...

[@vamsikrishnacinematicvlogs]

Perfect broooo

[@davidtindley6556]

Devastating - thanks man

[@saintronin7633]

1:01 Never knew the Thai knee strike was good for barbecue too.

[@rakeyohn222]

Good tips. Thanks.

[@Gerardo-kt8lz]

Very good one too

[@virgincurrx4212]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO...IT WAS MY FIRST DAY AND I HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH UNDERSTANDING IT...

[@realdeal3032]

Thanks for the tips buddy

[@ronniec8038]

Nice info young man. Well done.

[@GD30.06]

perfect practice makes perfect

[@cashmoney3801]

4:03 dont forget that this strike is also alot more stable than the piercing knee therefore able to throw out alot more often and consitent

[@ChocolateMilkCultLeader]

I'm now a fight expert. Thanks Shane. Time to beat those noob Boxers and show them who's boss

[@spidersav]

Probably my favorite video of yours, thanks

[@aryanahmed508]

Thanks brother

[@humbledb4jesus]

1> the upstrike would decimate someone if it caught the bottom of the rib cage... 2> a jkd pendulum step or a long range switch step will allow knees from outside the jab

[@wilkandmhiskey4103]

i love this guy

[@Zellieth]

2:45 If you knee hurts, try to understand if it's your skin that is hurting or if it's the joint/muscles. Your skin may not be developed yet (which will come with time). If it's joint/muscle pain, then you're doing it wrong.

[@keemadoo247]

On tuesday i Will go and do something i have Been wanting to do for years, try muay thai. Ty Shane for inspiring me.

[@user-wj6dx1pc1i]

Kee Madoo Good luck and have fun

Ok man you have earned a subscriber. I don't subscribe easily. Too much junk on the net. Please keep up the quality.

[@AnduinKurion]

Thank you so much Shane! Always had pain in the knee after hitting the bag.

[@VeniseGrr]

I just discovred your channel, I'm loving your videos. I especially like that you have knowledge of (and show) different fighting styles and variations. I've done some martial arts and every time I start at a different place, I end up thinking I've been doing a movement "wrong" the whole time because the new teacher will show it to me a different way than I was taught at the last place. Haha

[@Chromosome1919]

Neat tips man!

[@deanal-jackson4593]

Thanks man I'll apply these in my next scene

[@pkerlev]

hell yea threw some good strong knees at the end bro good shit .ty for advice

[@jessica98256]

Wow incredible.

[@TheEtbetween]

Thanks

[@arbazsayyed7266]

Respect you sir

[@RekkaKien3]

Good tips here that people "kneed" to know.

[@LeadSwitchKick]

My trainer teaches me to extend my arm so my chin is protected and my opponent can't counter it with punches. Also helps pulling him into the knee whilst maintaining balance. I know there are many ways to throw a knee, this is just the way I was taught and I prefer it!

[@paulbadman8509]

Lennard it’s called Dracula guard. It’s good when you got reach advantage, but with small MMA gloves still can be countered (Joanna vs Rose 1).

[@otakubatman1853]

woo. I got taught the right way all them years ago it seems. I miss it

[@rodrigolaporte274]

EXCELLENT

[@afonsomanuel1585]

Great.

[@jeanabeana01]

I love your channel thanksssss

[@FireSilver25]

Thanks so much! Now I know why my knee hurt when I tried on a heavy bag. Guess I better get to a Muay Thai teacher....

[@nzxtMonster]

These are great! Keep it up.

[@jacobchrapla5100]

Agreed my dude. I video my practicing for later review and input from other's as well. As for the long knee, I must use the top portion of the tibia. Why? Because the calcium deposits behind my patella. The motion is similar with the hip trust, except you bring your knee to your chest then forward and slightly down to strike with the tibia. I thank you for all the tips. You rock. I could benefit from sparing with you. Hit me up sometime for a workout.

[@petercarlson811]

Regarding tip #1, don't forget to step slightly outwards as when kicking. Oterwise it's very easy for your opponent to make you miss with just a slight movement to the side.

[@neosugarland7682]

There's a really good reason why Muy Thai fighters throws a knee at 90 degrees bent leg. The knee caps breaks at a force of 30 lbs if thrown the wrong way.

[@fammnak852]

Man thank you so much this video helps A LOT!!!

[@naturesentrepreneur8432]

Can u plz make a tutorial of flying knee strike in the future??

[@utku_bambu]

Hell yeah

[@mistermiyagi6073]

Flying knee is such an under-utilized attack. There's 3 variations to it ( that I know) and all 3 are deadly and effective. Can be used to close distance and get ahold of your guy, can be used defensively to keep someone off you when they are getting too close, can be aimed at the head or body. My favorite is the flying switch knee, khabib nurmagomedov uses it a lot in UFC competition, he uses it to close distance and get ahold of guys

[@velygritte2701]

Moe Ghouti it’s very dangerous and risky if you miss or if you telegraph it before striking. If you miss, you’ll most likely land off balance which will result in your opponent knocking you out or down. If you telegraph the strike, the opponent will dodge or get tagged in the air (like Arlovski vs Fedor).

[@mistermiyagi6073]

Yep it is a dangerous strike to use, I've seen many times where guys try to use flying knee and get popped in the face mid-air. But like every other technique in the art of striking, they all have their risks and rewards

[@uriahsack4824]

Hi, great channel, great vid. I hope you don't find this question too off topic, but what king of pants are you using here? I'd like to get an all purpose pair like these to go with crossfit or weight lifting.

[@InTheBleakMidwinter]

Excellent tips

[@daltonf6335]

Nice video shane

[@FCcommando]

Bring boxing tutorials back pls!!!

[@jamespisano1164]

[@billykhoabillykhoa7844]

0:45 good design. That bag automatically wheezed at your knee if you throw them incorrectly

[@fkp-up1ex]

[@tjeastcoast1556]

Amazing tips! 👍 Thanks for sharing!

[@obinga5685]

Could you make a video about a few things to work on for beginners? (Streetfighting)

[@JourneyToTheCage]

1Q2PWN 1. Don’t get into street fights

[@chrismorales3772]

Thank you so much for these vids mate! You have a way of explaining these techniques as well as physically exexute them perfectly from just the right angles many of us instructors that struggle with explanation of technique have quite an issue with explaining things to novices as well as children, your works here make for SO much more efficient means of teaching, I truly appreciate what your doing here, as well as sincerely wish you many blessings for your input to us underdogs, I've learned quite a bit from you and reference you quite often to my own, students. Please keep em coming sir, I wouldn't know how else to explain these techniques if you stopped cause I kinda just do em naturally expecting others to just mimic me lol!.... btw! That's a savagely ferocious spinning heel kick you have, did you train in TKD? Cause it shows.

[@Epig420]

Those horizontal knees when on the clinch tries to hit with the side of the knee which is solid bone, I can definitely with certainty tell you that those ones hurt, you dont always have to hit with the crown of the patella
