Honestly my best practice has been kicking big trees with heel stomps. It teaches you how to keep your stance/weight perfect or you fall over, because that tree isnt moving. It teaches you if your feet are too close, narrow stanced because you just fall on your ass if you power heel the tree and your footwork is wrong. If you can make the tree shake, you got great stance and you are transferring your weight into the tree correctly.
@drunkpaulocosta2 жыл бұрын
Yeah front kicks, side kicks and heel kicks are are really good vs a tree. The hanging leafy branches can be good for headmovement and footwork if its windy enough/you find the right hanging branch that swings in the wind. Its basically a shadow boxing aid so you dont have to imagine an opponent doing things. As the wind will create unpredictable movement you can adjust to and avoid to practice defensive reactions and form ect. Trees are often my sparring partner when i have none.

I used to admire Joe Rogan's way of sidekick (knee straight up and twist out) and hear he said his variation is way more powerful than knee down heel point forward first. But time goes on, i realized that's not the case at all. Picked up Wonderboy Thompson sidekick later on, i threw the knee up chamber away for good and was still able to blast people away, doesn't really feel any power differences at all. In fact, throw away the knee up chamber makes the kick come out way faster and you will never get jammed.

The heel up first knee down method maybe have slightly less power but Wonderboy proved that's totally not something you should be worry about when he blasted people away in the octagon with it. Also, i could still transfer my bodyweight into the kick as well by pushing off the floor with the support leg while shooting my foot straight from the ground with very minimal chamber movement. Like for fighting, how hard can you hit is just the 2nd priority compare to positioning yourself in a good position to throw strikes and not get hit back.

I think you hit a lot of the key points. The only things I would add, that a lot of people don't teach, is pushing your hips in front of your base leg. It gives a bit of additional reach and power to the kick. Obviously pivoting helps. But I also teach to lead with the foot ahead of you instead of the classic chamber so that it creates a barrier if your range ends up being too tight. While skipping and rear leg side kicks do have their places, I find that I use them a lot less than the cut kick version because it's an intercepting technique. I also tell a lot of people that don't like side kicks to emphasize doing them to the thigh of the opponent as they enter range to frustrate them and pick apart the lead leg. But honestly, if you aren't a bladed stance fighter I recommend the teep instead since it's the right move based on your hip configuration.

Yes, I simply use my legs predominately to Fake a person into thinking I'm kicking, when in fact, I'm throwing a rapid 'Lunging" punch, followed up with a combination based on the "Centerline" principle. You never know if I'm going to Kick, or, Punch. BUT, I am no Fool! If my opponent is sharp, or, experienced, I am on HIGH ALERT! I developed my Defensive instincts over the years to the point where, I can normally "Read" how my opponent is going to respond...In fact, I use certain techniques that, "Draw," or, "Invite," my opponent to attack me a certain way. And there are very subtle 'Body movements' one can employ that actually confuse your opponent. Lee was a Genius in his time. I picked this up from HIM, and added my Own little, "Touch."

The height should be about 80% of your max to keep good form and time under tension for a good burn. As a separate exercise it's also good to swing the leg up both in front and sideways for dynamic stretches, that also helps with balance.

One tip to improve the maximum damage without pain to yourself is to lock your big toe with the index toe and curl your toes when preparing the kick. This allows you to form a stronger impact resistant knife edge of the foot incase you are slightly off your target. It also means you will hit with the knife edge of the heel giving you more directed power.
