How To Kick Harder in Muay Thai - Prof. Tony Myers

[@clapdrix72]

I've definitely noticed that when I try to kick at 120% I end up kind of flubbing it, whereas if I go like 85% it absolutely cracks.

[@heatrick]

That’s it! 😁👌

I don’t fully comprehend everything your covering but I’m glad you are at least considering these factors. Once you’ve got them fleshed out, I have no doubt they’ll elevate the game. This information that’s inherent to some is what distinguishes them for average and exceptional, and you will make this Information and understanding accessible to everybody

[@dustindoesmuaythai]

This is actually so helpful. Thank you!

[@heatrick]

Awesome! 😁👊

[@PabloArgentina]

Thanks for the vídeo gretings from Argentina!!

[@heatrick]

You’re welcome 😁🙏

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

Really fascinating! Thanks.

[@heatrick]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robbybee70]

I'd love to get my force measured

[@Doctee81]

Very interesting. I wonder if this is why Harrison’s style of low kick is so damaging?

[@heatrick]

Yes, his low kick style is definitely the quick kick that Tony speaks of with less total body rotation.

[@MrX-wd8cm]

This ties in with your previous videos using the (Ke) kinetic energy formula, which is 100% correct nothing moving escapes the laws of motion.

[@heatrick]

Yes the quick kick derives power from higher velocity but lower effective mass. Whereas the relatively slower kick with greater body rotation depends more on committing greater effective mass. 😁👌

New to your channel. Watched several videos so far. Well done. Subscribed!

[@owenwright4927]

Hey heatrick I was reading your program on using supersets to build functional muscle and strength just wondering is it necessary to use the program progression you’ve suggested ? Or can you just use the 5 rep max and 8 rep hypertrophy max straight away ?

[@bigheadrhino]

Is the relaxation effect due to antagonist muscles firing when a person is tense and using maximum effort? Sort of like how when you lift heavy parts of your body that aren’t necessarily directly contributing to the lift itself will tense up to create stability around your joints/core. Also I would be curious to know how much faster a lighter fighter needs to hit than a heavier fighter of a giver weight to equally hard…

[@EsutM]

I think force is mass × acceleration, and impulse is mass × velocity... I don't know much about physics, but judging from these two formulas, it should be in proportion (more or less)

[@whoknows8223]

The hardest lowkickers have highest bone density. This also translates to punches (arm bones). Can you make a video about how to best increase bone density? Weighted box jumps? Kicking a bag? Very heavy loaded exercises (Squats)? They all are known to increase bone density but which is best

[@robbybee70]

that could easily be mistaking cause and effect

[@whoknows8223]

@@robbybee70 no it is physics. Force = mass x velocity. More dense bone more mass. Ofcourse the more often you punch a bag hard the more dense your bones get but some people are genetically gifted like Gaethje. Also the bigger the hand the harder the punch. Because just like dense bone it adds the mass

[@robbybee70]

you don't understand cause/effect so no point in trying to educate you@@whoknows8223

[@RAPEDBYBLACKS]

He’s saying maybe they have denser bones BECAUSE they hit hard. There’s no way to know.

[@Afiso]

If you can dance, you can kick harder. Like some football players are more technical. Look how the body moves.
