When I was into high kicks it helped to "wear it out" and do series of at least 50 reps each leg and maybe extend the foot for the "slapping" version of Ushiro Mawashi. The extended foot ads gravity and helped me to relax the leg muscles.

This is very interesting. Before i started watching MMA and these type of videos, I didn't even know what a wheel kick was tbh. In Taekwondo, this kick was always referred to as a "Spinning Hook Kick". And we throw it super linear with the foot extending and hooking at the end.

I can wholeheartedly agree with what you said in the end 12:39. I only trained in an MMA system so far. Because of that I'm a jack of all trades, meaning I know a little bit of everything. However, if I were to ever spar against a beginner kickboxer in kickboxing or roll against a beginner grappler, they would absolutely destroy me every time.

[@shootits48]

My school actually never taught a hopping spinning hook kick. That was interesting.

[@Bevallalom]

"Kicks don't work in the street" 😀 I like how Mike immediately says it every time. Actually they work. Not the fancy ones but simple kicks like front kick, even a side kick against an incoming second opponent from the side. It's from my experiences not from theory crafting.

[@char4s]

I learned that slidefoot thing from sidekicks and spinning back kicks trying to bring the momentum of the torque (horse kick especially) into the forward momentum towards the target, get the body weight behind it. Nice little details here though with the differences between spinning hook kick and wheel kick.

[@SenseiSeth]

[@SenseiSeth]

[@JohnHubbard]

This is interesting because we have two separate kicks, a wheel kick which has a slight hooking action at the end, but we also have a turning hook kick. Your standard "stay in one place" wheel kick is somewhere in-between the 2 but the one where you close distance is more like our turning hook kick. I think that might make into my sparring repertoire when sparring is allowed again. Nice tutorial.

Another thing I see in Mikes kick ,and I may be wrong because of the angle y'all are filming at, but it looks like he needs to step to his right a bit when he is turning into the kick. He looks like he's either too far left or too center on his target, and its throwing his timing off.Of course if hes kicking with the left then he would need to move left. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well enough or not. Anyways great video!

In taekwondo that would be a turning heel kick or hook kick. Spinning you are stepping forward and adding forward momentum to the kick. So it's stepping forward and across then spinning. When you do it standing in place we call that a turning kick. Same concept with turning and spinning back kick and side kick also.

Can I ask is there a best practice when it comes to the point of contact on the heavy bag compared to a pad you hold? I'm not sure if it's because I went too hard on the heavy bag, or if it was because I hit the heel a certain way. Where should the point of impact be so I prevent injuries? Please help 😅.

[@nunninkav]

Tell Icy @ 09:50 he got a good one, how he had his hands and threw it. I throw this one, as a "finishing move" on an opponent trying to shake out the cobwebs. Otherwise turning your back is a good way to get a knee up your backside. Even still, my rear arm throws a leading elbow and I push my palm out at the opponent as my leg comes around. It actually helps me measure the kick too. Little detail that may help someone. When you throw that kick as fast as Someone like Wonderboy there isn't much danger of getting kneed in the back as he is moving so fast and explosive it's why he is called Wonderboy.

[@nunninkav]

If you wanna try it my way, feint with your lead hand in a "hook" arc, bring your elbow up and around with your rear arm as you turn to look, extend that arm as your leg comes around.

[@gronith]

I always try to throw it like I am doing a spinning back kick aiming 2 inches from the side of the head, then pull it across. I ended up with tendonitis in my hip all year when I took some bad advice throwing it like a spinning side kick. Raising the knee to the hip too soon, just like Mike. Haven't been able to train without major pain the next day since. Now I can only lift weights and run. Even doing footwork drills aggravate it to the point I can't stand hours after. Doing hook kicks in your 40's is tough and can be dangerous.

@@SenseiSeth It's all good. I've been working on it my self but though getting better, the progress is way too slow( lol no patience) so I thought I'd ask

[@Utuberj0sh]

Just a thought regarding the figure skater analogy. Sure you can "spin faster" but I don't think it'd achieve optimum power. Think swinging a baseball bat. You don't spin your body keeping the bat straight up and down and then at the last minute thrust your bat straight out and follow through ... You would stick it out early and create room for the tip of the bat to accelerate. ⛸️👨‍🏫 Disclaimers: 0) I have no idea what im talking about and don't pretend to. Just brainstorming 1) I'm no fighter, just a big fan of your videos 🛋️🥔 2) I'm not baseball player but I've played tennis my whole life. The key I always say is to create racquet head acceleration for the fastest shot! I just used baseball because it's more relatable ⚾🎾

[@SenseiSeth]

I see what you’re saying! But sometimes the added velocity is better than “raw power”. Thanks for watching and the disclaimers 😂🙏

[@samw9305]

So this kick seems ALOT like the flying knee. It's not getting more force out of the technique that's difficult, it's keeping your balance and not losing control each attempt. Of course swinging in a wide circle would hit harder, but it also throws you off balance and is easy to read. But yeah, this is a cool question, hopefully a pro comes along and proves both of us wrong lol. (Disclaimer I'm not a karate guy)

[@Utuberj0sh]

Thanks for your reply, Sensei Seth! Yea totally makes sense. And the speed helps with disguising the move to, the key I guess is Landing the kick as opposed to just doing a fancy looking spin!

Sensei Seth drills, exercises, conversation, call it what you want, idk I’m in teacher mode I guess, I just got off teaching a class 😅 either way what do you think of maybe bending the knee AFTER you hit the target to make it heavier? Eg hitting the head/target with a straight leg vs bending to hit the target

[@SenseiSeth]

lightxxatu i think you lose some control/speed but it’d def be a heavier leg

[@lightxxatu]

Sensei Seth in my experience you’d maintain about the same amount of speed as a turning side kick, as long as your hooking motion is continuous with the extension of your leg As to control, that’s what training is for 🙃

A wheel kick, on the other hand, is a 360 straight legged kick, connecting with the heel. Your leg is fully extended as with a side kick, but the power comes from hip and body rotation.

But i mean there are a toon of techniques that are kinda mma specific, for example mma jiu jitsu is widely different from regular jiu jitsu, simply because you can punch the other guy :D also, ive heard quite a few times now, that now is the time where we see fighters in the ufc who trained only mma since they were little (edmund shabazyan for example), up untill now most fighters started with boxing or wrestling or whatever and transitioned to mma later, simply because the sport is still pretty young, but as far as i can tell people seem to think that thats kind of an advantage for them? im a bit confused now, would be really cool if you could elaborate a bit further what you meant with that, thanks and stay safe :)
