3 Types of Low Kicks & When to Use Them

What's up guys. In today's video we cover 3 types of low kicks: Dutch style, Thai Style, and a defensive low kick.
I'll go over the differences between them, when to use them, how to practice them by yourself, and some examples from Ernesto Hoost, Nieky Holzken, Liam Harrison.
This is the last day I'll be filming in this gym because we've moved. (Clarification: the gym, City Kickboxing, moved to a new location. I didn't move gyms).
Try to use all three kicks next time you spar. If you find these tutorials helpful, please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe.

I'm happy you find the videos helpful. Oh, I sometimes forget to mention, but I also have a Facebook group called Quake Combat. If you want to connect with other like minded martial artists, you should join. I made it so people have another resource to post questions or helpful links, and to discuss topics that I may not have created a video for yet.

Another great video!! Was wondering if you could do a video on footwork drills and angles?

Yes, that is a highly requested video. Stay tuned.

[@ttytty6940]

Thanks 😊

[@drum877]

Nice!

[@fusion310]

Coach - can you demonstrate a Savate kick? Like a situational demo if you are using it in a street fight vs the ring. A Savate fighter took 2nd place in UFC 1 - very effective style that knocks teeth out.

[@bosssqueeze2851]

Thanks, Brad. Good luck against Fiziev!

[@thisrichbastard.809]

Brad, great content my friend; can you improve the quality of the sound? Probably a Mic attached to your person? Either way...your tutorials are gold!

[@bradquakeriddell]

Yeah, I hear you. This video was made over a year ago. I ended up getting a lav mic about 5 months ago. With the exception of the vlogs, which are shot very "run and gun" style, the tutorials after June or so, are shot w/ a mic.

Would love to see you as a Coach on the Ultimate Fighter. Showcase more of your talents as a leader to the world

[@bradquakeriddell]

Thanks. I was given the opportunity this season on Alex's team, but it would have been too much time away from my family. Had been away for a month already and then would have to go back to America 2 days after quarantine to do another month for the show AND another 2 week quarantine.

[@lesblase3667]

@@bradquakeriddell Absolutely. You guys have been busy last few years. Would be nice for you to be with the family more. Hope you get the time you deserve. Absolute work horse! Looking forward to your upcoming battle. You got awesome leadership skills champ. Would love for the World to see it. God bless mate

Could you do a video on head movement?

[@bradquakeriddell]

Yea, for sure. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

The Defensive kick seems to be used like a Check Hook in boxing.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GIVE ROUDHOUSE LIKE THAI BOXER WITHOUT STANDING ON THE BALL OF THE FOOT , LIKE THAI DO :BUT KEEP THE SUPPORTIVE FOOT ALL FLAT , BUT ACHIEVE THE SAME POWER OF THE THAI ?

[@deepanpoddar4452]

Did Anderson Silva broke his Tibia while landing the Dutch Style low Kick?

[@bradquakeriddell]

I'll have to take a look and get back to you. I don't recall offhand.

[@deepanpoddar4452]

@@bradquakeriddell Thank you for your response. This is the footage of the fight that I was referring to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYG5hYONaq6Br6c

[@owainp8445]

can you do a video on how to get your leg back into your stance faster after kicking

[@marisawatts2792]

I actually had the same issue. My kicking leg used to flop back down, which would result in not only a slower reset but also, my feet would land too narrow, which made bridging or any 2nd phase attack difficult. Brad helped me with this, cleaning my kick up, and making it faster overall. A video on this would probably be very helpful to others too.

[@bradquakeriddell]

I will add this to our list of videos to make.

[@harrystoeptegel2301]

Hey there Quake. If I may make a suggestion. Good explanation but when I see your kicks, I notice that your toes are not up. When giving a low kick, make sure your toes are upward. The muscles on your shin are hardened and it's less painful. The first two clips you used are with Nieky Holzken and Ernesto Hoost (my old trainer). Both are kicking with the toes up.

[@Thresholdism]

Does anyone notice many fighters broke their shin bones from the Dutch style low kick? Please advise. Anyway great video 🙏🏼

[@bendavid5648]

This is confusing. The “Thai” low kick a la Ernesto Hoost, is a “Dutch” style low kick. The Thai’s do it slightly differently.

[@madmaster3d]

nice video my friend but ur video has a problem we cant see ur feet its important in muay thai or kickbxoing ty

[@dickbison]

"dutch style" is just kyokushin low kick, dutch kickboxing pioneers were mostly kyokushin guys
