Taekwondo Footwork Trick for Closing Off Distance

[@GUIZMO190207]

Good Jab tip. As a former tkd apprentice and actual Kickboxing apprentice i never imagined that way of trhowing jab with step. Thank you.

[@calburner4635]

Loved this one Karate was my first learned discipline and this is so unorthodox but sound.

[@w4rf4c39]

My first attempt at throwing a jab with the cheat step: *My body: LOLno... lead foot goes first :))) *

[@calburner4635]

Exactly. Feels weird.

[@GLPitt1]

I think if you do like he mentions and step back foot first on an angle (kind of like you would circling to your rear hand side in Boxing or Muy Thai) but just make the angle more extreme, it will feel more natural.

I practiced this pendulum style alot back then, because i loved JKD and Bruce Lee is my inspiration, but as more and more people doubt and mock Bruce Lee and his style over the hyped MMA, BJJ, somehow i started to develop this inferiority feeling inside, since more and more people left JKD, And i stopped practicing (I'm no fighter, just a hobbyists) but deep down i still love this style, and seeing this put into one of your videos kinda give me the spirit back! Thanks Coach 👍🏼

[@trialanderrorsurvival392]

I started in tkd as well, and after all the years ive realized that all fighting is the same but with different emphasis. Now i only practice the art of combat. For instance, many will bash capoeira, but capoeira is insane when you mix it with bjj. Likewise, many would saying spinning kicks aren't practical in the street, i agree. Spinning kicks to me are more practical for if i get pushed or off balance and im wanting to keep my enemy at bay. Anyways, love your thoughts on this man, keep doing what you're doing.

[@zanecassidy4124]

This is awesome been watching for years and still learning new things. I think that pendulum step into jab is awesome

[@ingongoyama3995]

At first I was like “nah” but as I watched I was like “oh!” Very good to add to arsenal. Well done. By the way boxing footwork is highly structured. Just gotta find a coach that teaches that style. Mine trained under Sugar Ray Robinson. It includes creativity though as all effective in battle martial arts should

[@HoundsOfBusiness]

I thought the same thing, but for some reason kept watching and liked the first double jab footwork.

[@razklein7743]

Dude.. been watching your channel for 3+ years and seems like you always improve. thumbs up!

My coach taught me this a year ago and I still use it to this day and it works beautifully for setting up shots. I always wondered why I never saw people being taught this until this video. Always great stuff from coach shane 👍

[@grantbacon4471]

You’re giving away all the old school secrets now, my guy. Damn man. Lol

[@LeMuseHere]

Fantastic video! I learned this as the Muay Thai fighting stance. Front leg bounces for the reasons you've specified in the video.

[@Abdurrahman_malik_]

I think it would be cool if you made a video showing what you remember from tkd e.g. forms and also tkd style sparring that would be fun. Like a video paying homage to your roots.👍

[@ScottGarrettDrums]

Ah, replacing the front foot with the rear foot. I learned this in Tang Soo Do (aka Cobra Kai) and it was taught as more of an advanced-intermediate technique. I love doing this with side kicks and front kicks / teeps. For people having trouble with it, break it down into three parts the way Shane shows it. Pre-chamber, step forward with the rear foot (stand straight up at first, it helps), and then step forward / throw a kick with the front leg. Don't try to do the full thing at once until you learn the body mechanics or you'll develop bad habits.

[@oliwer1]

The goat himself GSP once said that Taekwondo footwork helped him in his takedowns

[@wmen48]

And Chuck Norris has a beard that is tougher than all of us. That GSP can do something from other something doesnt mean we mere mortals can.

[@conarykao]

He said that about karate, not TKD. There’s probably not much difference, but GSP just never studied TKD.

[@theblackmonk3153]

@@conarykao same bladed stance

[@conarykao]

@@theblackmonk3153 It would be the same if he was talking about Shotokan karate, but he grew up doing Kyokushin. If you look at their stance and their fighting style, it's very different.

[@MrPrietov]

Hi Shane. The position looks like a neko ashi dashi or cat stance in traditional Okinawan karate goju ryu. Other karate styles have the same position as well where 90 % off your weight is on the back leg. Thanks for the great advice. Keep it up.

[@GLPitt1]

It's a skip step, like you see often in Karate & TKD. But I guess you can use it in combination with punching & grappling too. I can see how it can be effective. Good tip.

[@cortezfilms8511]

I’ve learn that stance when practicing Nippon Kempo. It can be great to counter with.

Can you please show us the workout to raise the leg? I’ve noticed that for many workouts, I need to raise my leg and extend it, but when I try, my leg isn’t strong enough to keep my leg extended when I try to raise it higher. It feels more like a muscle isn’t strong enough to lift it up instead of not being stretchy enough

[@ryanraynal1196]

Hi Shane, I've been watching your channel since I was in college. I remember you had dreads back then. Well I've been boxing since 2015. I had my fair share of fights and its now that i'm thinking about this. Can you punch the arms in boxing? For example lets say the opponent throws a jab. Can I throw a right hook to the arm itself behind the elbow, near the tricep? Or simply punch the bicep? Im asking this in a strategy point of view. To fatigue the arms or break them maybe?

[@fighttips]

Limb destruction -- yes! You see Canelo do this. It's definitely a long-term fight strategy, for when you get to the pro level fighting 6+ rounds. But I like doing it when someone tries to stiff-arm or leave their jab hand out -- punch it out of the way then work your way inside.

[@mr.president9771]

Hello, my name is Muzaffar, and I'm originally from Pakistan. I'd like to inquire about reps/sets and the types of weight workouts I should do at the gym while doing mild kickboxing for cardio. In the gym, we just have a heavy bag. So I work out my muscles six days a week, and after each workout, I perform some boxing and kicking with the heavy bag. I'm not sure how to divide my muscle groups or what weights to utilise because I want to hit the heavy bag while staying in shape.

[@alinor4232]

Hello there. I know this dont have anything to do with the video, but i really do need you thoughts on this. I been doing Boxing for like 7 month, when i first entered a Boxing gym i hated it and felt like the coach hated me. But now i actually like the sport and my coach let me spare with the best boxers in the gym.infact my first game is about 1 month from now. But lately i been thinkin about if the sport is Worth the risk. My goal is to do Boxing for about 2 or 3 years and have a couple of Amateur games under my belt. but im too afriad that it’s gonna have an impact on my life goals and Education. Right know im a carpenter apprentice and the Education isnt easy for me. My goal is to start a real estate Company and Build my own houses. But im too scared that 2 years of Boxing is gonna affect my goals. Please what do you guys Think? And sorry for my terrible english. Ps: some of the best boxers in the gym Are Plumber and electrician apprentice, and they Seem to do Well.

I'm not knowledgeable about taekwondo or karate, I always thought taekwondo was only kicking? Is that true? I know you are a mix martial artist and you are very smart/knowledgeable on several fighting styles and I see you mixing things up. But is taekwondo primarily a kicking only martial art? I'm a boxer myself, I've been boxing/training boxing solid for the last 12 years. And I also did some training as a teenager. But please forgive me on my lack of knowledge on anything other than boxing, and I hope it doesn't sound too much like a dumb question, I really think taekwondo is just kicking. I always thought if I was a kick boxer I would definitely have boxing training(which I do) and I probably would train taekwondo for my kicks, and I would probably use them to sharpen my kick boxing/Muay Thai game. But now being that I'm getting older and I've only been boxing most of my life I do want to train other disciplines but I also feel like it is a little late in the game for my expectations. I don't believe there is an age limit for learning and enjoying and reaping the rewards of any combat style, but for my expectations realistically, I'm a little old. I'm a boxer and a big fan of MMA and other styles. I wish I knew you personally though, I have a passion for fighting sports and martial arts, we would get along great and I would learn a lot from you. Anyways I know I write a lot my apologies, and thank you for all you do and share with us. Thank you and God bless you and yours bro
