Crescent Kicks: How to Use Them in MMA

I love how your making more videos on traditional strikes cause people seem to forget about these

[@profoundpro]

That variation of the spinning crescent is a very basic kick in Capoeira called 'Armada'. Was one of the first kicks I learned in that discipline. Great instruction, Shane!

[@giovelazquez8872]

Basic? Holy shit

[@MeiaLuaDeCompasso]

@@giovelazquez8872 Basic for capoeira lol.

[@tylersharp5751]

@@giovelazquez8872I mean pretty basic to me a spinning back kick or heel kick takes much more technique focus than a crescent hence why it’s a traditional strike

[@giovelazquez8872]

[@jaredmoglia711]

Neither of them have wrestling/bjj

[@ZenDragonYoutubeChannel]

Another important difference between the wheel kick and spinning hook kick vs the spinning crescent kick is the reach. The spinning crescent kick works only from closer range. On the other hand if the person steps forward your balance will be a little bit better as your standing upright on one leg rather than leaning back on one leg. My favourite set up for the spinning crescent kick is to fake a frontkick and use the knee up to step in closing the distance for the crescent kick (as you step down you land with the foot pivoted for the spin).

[@grahamledwell7256]

i use a hakisack to practice these moves

[@DbolOnlyGangster]

Shane you have no idea how much this video helped me. I have a real traditional background in martial arts especially blue dragon kung fu and I never knew how to apply this kick in a real mma situation. I would pull off the kick sometimes but always have terrible difficulty doing so. This filled in every hole I had with this kick set up. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@bountyhunter7363]

Hey Shane I’m 15 and I’m pretty good in boxing and my dream is to be a pro boxer but the gym I go to has only 2 boxing bags that’s all and there are only 3 boxing schools in my country 1 is like fat but pretty expensive and it’s like for fitness only and the other one is very far I wanna be a boxer as I’m one of the few southpaws in my region and I believe in what Ali said that champion are not made in the gyms but what they’ve got deep down So please give me some tips man

[@rhyhood9328]

I’ve been wanting this video for so long you have no idea

[@logiii6854]

Ya wot mate

[@unironicallyslappingknees]

Alex Ramirez lol chill man

[@Cee_B]

I really like this move as an asset. Pretty useful for a defense/recovery, and honestly it’s pretty unpredictable. Most ppl wouldn’t see you throwing a kick from the inside to the outside most kicks are expected to be someone spinning going from a stance, kicking across the body or ig towards the inward of the body for lack of better explanation. Cool stuff man

[@realtruth1448]

That’s pretty much what I came to the conclusion as well, where he demonstrated after a failed roundhouse kick, a crescent kick for recovery aka defense, would be amazing, only time the crescent kick would actually be useful honestly

[@Shanks44x]

Funny how I always do the crescent kick and just think that I'm stretching or something..... * sigh *

[@lordhanzo7544]

Joe Rogan brought me here 🤣

[@thomaspatrickparker6648]

I bet this would work in MMA because most competitors would have never seen it before until you are about to do it on them and not be able to time it.

[@FranticSloth420]

Anyone here because of Joe Rogan and Bill Burr?

[@threegreencharms]

Yes.

[@drali230]

It looks like an axe kick kind of

[@fernandoloyo5224]

Shane this kick is very owesome to half distance in any combat or discipline. I often use it as part of my thecnique in mma.

[@rodneydavis9076]

I love these videos! You're essentially confirming all the techniques and tactics we use in Capoeira from an MMA perspective. It's just that we disguise it all behind the Ginga. Beautiful work. :)

[@vikasugale2754]

But sir I think jab cross and outside crescent kick would be easier and more damaging to their face/nose and for their block too

[@gingercore69]

Great video, never thought that kick had a place in mma... When i miss a roundhouse i usually come back with a hook kick befire the foot touches the floor... In karate roundhouse is "mawashi geri" and hook kick is "ura(inverted) mawashigeri" so i just come back like rewinding the kick...

[@cjneppey2053]

Can you crescent kick my head? I feel like it'll help with my exams next week.

[@akshchaturvedi9957]

Can we bite in street fight

[@marcusallen6123]

Ooooh, that round house to crescent kick is nice!

[@Hapkido82AUS]

One of my favourite kicks since I was a kid. Also leads to the axe kick

[@mizutxko]

Common Capoeira kick I see.

[@bluehoodieanimation4678]

Isn't cresent kick and spinning wheel kick is a kung fu move ?

[@thejoojoo9999]

A pretty good combo I've found is feinting a low kick, letting your leg pass just short of his and coming back up with an inside to outside crescent kick. Very unexpected PS : Looks like Saenchai also uses the crescent kick, at 0:22 in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4iZlqpon5aNo7M

[@mechanoid2k]

From your description that almost sounds more like a question mark kick.

I would use the inside to outside one twice then on the third time I would go into an axe kick. Worked quite a bit actually.

[@DuncanTheHighlander]

Shane you gotta breakdown my next fight after i get that finish! Since you popularized my head getting hook kicked ;)

[@masb3510]

Hey Shane, so I am training muay thai for like 3 months but I have an issue in sparring. I don't really know how to let myself go and then my partner looks incredibly better than me. Do you have any tips on confidence and self control in sparring? I hope you make a video on this.

[@wyeth1023]

I chamber mine like a question mark until the very last moment and then snap it out like super fast, always done it like that for some reason idk

[@MeiaLuaDeCompasso]

Awesome. Was going to mention the axe kick and you brought it up lol. Also in capoeira we know these kicks by different names but they definitely have use case at least in muay thai (I don't do MMA). Eddy Gordo in Tekken 8 uses the quiexada (jaw in portuguese, inside crescent) from the same position as your missed round house kick. The difference is that he leans more into the failed kicked and gets more rotation on the inside crescent and turns it into a deadly axe kick. It's a very good recovery kick and might even end the fight if you land it right.

[@harrybauer9361]

Your a good teacher. And throw some badass kicks but but Why didn't you continue momentum with a spinning back kick instead of reversing momentum technically?

[@reactionhype4904]

Hey guiz..I always practicing in my home ,Punches,Jab,hook,kicks..but i though its useless because i cant not used it to someone..

[@SebastianHay]

As a southpaw the inside-outside crescent kick is actually quite hard for my opponent to see and can setup a rear roundhouse or spinning attack or side kick after the foot lands.

[@The31st]

The first ones a great one for beginners who don't have a good front leg hook kick

[@realtruth1448]

Honestly the only time the crescent kick will actually be useful is the demonstration he showed here 2:20 Every other situation the crescent kick sucks, it doesn’t have ko power, there’s no video anywhere online of someone getting ko’d by a crescent kick

[@haydenphipps4923]

Love using this to the body in sparring. Another weapon that's perfect when your opponent is circling outside your lead leg. Added bonus of using the whole side of your foot to find the liver.

[@leonardopolato2634]

could you make a video about set ups for the jump spinning hook kick? I think you can send you opponent knock out land with it .

[@fabelisgod]

Can’t you also snap your leg with this kick? Like a TKD roundhouse except reversed

[@jamie91995]

I never liked fancy kicks like this, that’s just me though

[@Checkmate777]

Just saw like 50 kick experts in a comment section saying this guy did a crescent kick and others were saying it was a twist kick. I’m so glad all there expert opinions were different.

[@geraldmcgill7994]

The one thing that I'd add to this video that I don't believe was said... The crescent kick is really nice in a lot of cases when fighting against someone that has an inch or two on you specifically in terms of height. Reason for that being, if you're well stretched out your heel should elevate above your head like shown in the video and crossing the face of your opponent for a direct hit.

[@jdubog4474]

if I have a little chip in my shin will it effect me getting hard shins

[@deathcador]

Shane you really don't look as fit as usual, take care of yourselves man and safe spar. If I want to pay up for your fight gym membership for a month are you still active over there?

[@catchcookhawaii4461]

Shane do you think I should put in the time to practice this move or should I just learn something else

[@imran_rasoli]

I just saw a guy doing a "which kick would you choose to master?" then I saw this kick and thought as like "not seen that before, let me see how it's done and how it's used".

@@danfitzpatrick8517 works well with the combo I already set up. After hitting it once they guarded. Then I want back to the side kick. Really good interchangeable strikes. Landing with a reverse roundhouse sorta makes me feel better tho. Same movement almost, but different power and weapon. Connecting with your shin works well but I try to just slap my friends with my foot instead. To avoid serious damage Atleast.
