Okay, uh, we're here with Chad again, we're gonna, we're gonna go through some basic kicks that you can use, uh, for MMA, okay. I like to show a lot of kicks off with the lead side, which keeps you safe as far as, uh, take downs and, and counters. So again, righty against righty, you have your first basic kick, which is the inside leg kick, okay. The outside leg kick sometimes gets you in trouble, especially against a wrestler, he's gonna grab that leg and then he's gonna shoo it in, and take you down. Inside leg kick leaves me a little safer cause I can always come back to my stance and I'm not as off balance. So again you have the inside leg kick, okay, so that's your first basic kick. Another good kick that people um, a lot of people that I don't think they use enough, are the push kicks, okay, or the teeps, okay, using, using the push kicks to keep your opponent away. I'm gonna aim for the body, okay, I could also aim for the hip, and obviously I can aim toward the head, okay, with the push kicks. Alright, push kicks to be body, push kicks to the hips, or push kicks to the face. And, another lead leg kick that you can work is the switch kick to the body. You can switch kick to the body and attack the arm, or if that arm is up, and the rib cage is exposed you can attack the rib cage. Making sure that my head is always safe, keeping my head away. Um, last basic kick, again off of the lead side, is attacking the back leg. A lot of people like to attack the front leg with the outside or the inside leg kick people will sometime neglect that back leg. So what you're going to do to attack the back leg you gonna shuffle out a little, take a little step, and drive your shin toward that back leg. Again, I shuffle out, hands stay up high, and I use my shin to attack the thigh. But I always come back to my stance, ready for a take-down or ready for a counter. So again, I'll flow through them, inside leg kick, push kick, switch kick to the body, or step out and attack the leg. Okay, so those are your basic kicks, attacking head, body, or leg.

[@BN99239]

Push kicks are the absolute safest if you are not wearing any leg protections. If you actually push through with the kick, it can do some serious damage, but most people just use it to create distance rather than attacking with it. I've been hit by push kicks before and it completely knocks the wind out of and I was in pain for a good 5 seconds.

I had a sparring match with this guy today, when I was training at Tidwell Park. We only threw punches and almost hit each other, but, I didn't throw a single kick. The funny part about it is, I practice the same kicks that you demonstrated in this video. Yet, when I get into a sparring match, I'll throw my hands. I want to learn how to get adjusted, to throwing kicks, like I use, when I practice. Any suggestions?

Do you need to condition your leg bones for leg kicks to be effective???

[@jaysons8050]

I know this is 1 year later, but to answer your question... you don't have to condition it if you're just hitting pure muscle from the legs. However, sometimes you may hit bone on bone and that's when you're going to be in tremendous pain possibly fracturing your shin if you don't condition them

quick question, so the inside leg kick, he is kicking with this foot? not his shin?

[@wallymcguire2033]

He is using his foot. Because of the defenders stance, there isn’t enough of a gap to have overlap to hit him with his shin so he has no choice but to use his foot.

Blackfoot style sanji

[@MrNateMCM]

The push kick should be used flat footed against the chest. When someone rushes in you could hurt your foot if its not flat. Spinning back kick is the most effective if taught correctly. In a defense situation with someone that uses no foot movement what so ever. A spinning back to the stomach/chest or even head would put them on their ass. But then again if you're taught correctly to really put your hips into it with force that kick seems best, defense wise. If you havent had any experience or been taught anything the front kick is best to keep distance.

[@gavinedward6158]

Incorrect a good muay teep from the front pad of your foot keep in mind adds a higher damage rate being in a smaller area and is more precise and adds a bit more room for you to keep your safe distance and throw more powerful push kicks and round houses it can be used for a more deadly take out shot like to the throat or the very vulnerable solarplexis/the opening between your chest at the bottom

Yes you can. Muay Thai fighter are very well known for being able to destroy the base (root, legs) of the body. Generally these kicks are aimed lower than the knee. Most of the kicks in the video attack the thigh/hip and the reason they do this is because they are generally safe.

if i kick my sparring partner in the rib... he always puts his elbow out.. cuz he is a noob lol and that is instinct i think... so if you are in a fight and you kick and someone puts his elbow out.. ur fucked cuz it hurts so bad... what can you do about this so that you can still kick him right without kicking to his elbow

[@NecKClippA]

Not very experienced but you could punch him in the face when he brings his elbow down, or faint a kick and punch in the head, (superman punch?) Im not experienced so my thoughts might be wrong

[@vilimikkola2545]

Or kick a few light ones to the ribs and when he gets used to that, a hard high kick to the head (that is, if you're in a fight).

[@cromma7908]

you can avoid to hit his elbow by striking his ribs in a better angle,try not cutting your kick upwards, try kicking about 90 degrees to his rib,in the worst case you will strike him so hard he will feel his elbow in his lungs,with a bigger angle, you get more force so the strike is more effective,OS!

[@robbdgaf1768]

Kick his guard so his own hands punchs himself in the face and he falls backwards then jump in the air spinning front flip and downward punch to face and bam you win, and if you want to look cool do a handstand

I notice nobody uses the SIDE KICK. All of these kicks are awesome, but they are basically two families of kicking. Front style kicks and Round style kicks. Do people just not want to USE side kicks?

[@ChamorruWarrior]

Vam TheAnomaly MMA has kind of lost it's open minded approach and it has kind of become it's own style (Boxing, MuayThai, BJJ and wrestling mixed together) Anything else has been officially deemed as unusable and nonsensical by a large majority of the MMA community. That being said there are many Chinese Sanda/Sanshou fighters that use side kicks VERY well in professional fights. There are also certain sub groups out there that use other techniques that I know would translate to MMA well but do not use. Many Kyokushin/Taekwondo fighters have quite the axe kick that WRECK people when landed. Standing non-spinning backfist and hammer fist strikes have seen some success in professional fights as well. Look up Korea's ROAD FC, and China's "Art Of War" MMA. You can see some good use of all of these techniques in there. Andy Hug is a good example of the axe kick being a REALLY scary thing to watch out for.

Dan0101010101010 Jesus Dan you dont have to be so mean about it.....

[@vamtheanomaly]

Dan0101010101010 I know who you meant it for. When you reply it has a +name for who the comment is for, I just thought that was a bit harsh. I didnt see any ego in the guys message and tbh in JKD ( dont know if you like or hate it ) concepts...the side kick is a bit more practical and is done from a boxing-like stance ( not to the side ), so its used more. Its not as powerful, but stronger than teeps and usually done to the mid section. Well except the bursting side kick which is like a hard lunging side kick from French Savate.

[@Dan0101010101010]

Vam TheAnomaly LOL funny story! I regularly "KO" people with a simple teep to the body, (wind them badly so they cant stand etc) but the people at my and your gym arnt high level fighters, dont expect to KO anyone decent even with the burst foot work first. Ribs are easy to break very easy, someone fractured my rib with an arm punch, literally my friend and I had a play fight/spar and he fractured my floating rib with his crappy arm punch, ribs are weak and easy to break. So you cant say a side kick is powerful based on it breaking ribs or knocking out non pro fighters. Everything works on a noob fighter! Take a sanda fighter and put him against a noob and he will KO the noob with anything he wants almost. But Im talking about the pro fighters. Pro fighters are alot harder to take out, and some techniques are proven to be low % and some are proven to be high %

[@redsheep252]

Im a leftie so that's not good?

[@thecrazygene1]

Inside leg kick works well vs righties if your a leftie and vice versa. Instead of the front leg doing the kick like in the video, the rear leg attacks the inside of the leg given the opposing stances.. And obviously you could substitue the "switch-kick" as demonstrated in this video, as a simple rear roundhouse kick to the body. It's a kick that can be vicious and dangerous if it lands on the liver since the organ is situated on the right side of the body. Probably the reason they teach the "switch-kick" to orthodox fighters. -I train in mma
