When you watch an old video and it starts with “Hey you guys, hope you’re doing okay in these hard times”. You know exactly what years this was made haha

[@SENSEIJASON]

We all made it!

[@ccsiz]

It’s crazy how something as simple as recording yourself makes you see how many little things you can overlook if you are not careful. I also find it crazy how watching you do things can a lot of times correct things I didn’t even notice I was doing wrong. I agree with all your points coach! Great video as always.

[@SENSEIJASON]

Thanks for the feedback my man! And I hope no one thinks I'm trying to say I'm perfect, I'm not haha. Just wanna share my journey along the way! Cheers brotha, stay safe and happy training!

[@한여21]

THANK YOU for showing your legs! I always wanted to learn the roundhouse but was concerned about twisting my knee and making it injury prone. now i know to completely turn the body, make the hips are turned all the way, and bring the leg around with knee in alignment

[@stanleyumeh2223]

Man, your so underrated Jkillah! You gave the best advice and did not leave any details out when it comes to roundhouse. 💯. ...most other avid youtube practitioners I struggle to watch 11 minutes of their videos, not you sir. Very valuable information and textbook. I will have to admit my roundhouse sucks but my takeaway is to avoid leaning...for the most part I take care of everything else. 500,000 to go 0 down on roundhouse and the first 100 to 500 will be very slow making sure to place emphasis on the form and the highlighted 7 points and I already know with repetition the hip and torquing the supporting leg will whip out the knockout power that will subconsciously come later without knowing. Oss! 🔥🔥🔥

[@SENSEIJASON]

I'm so happy you highlighted that you were able to watch an 11 minute video of mine haha! That is a big accomplishment lol!! Hey Stan, don't be too hard on yourself either brother, I'm not perfect as well, I make beginner mistakes along the way too, as martial artists we just try to make improvements and adjustments along the way, to fine tune the sword, and refine the skill!

[@haroldsandiego9975]

Start slow, focus on your form and quality kick plus those 7 tips. I would like to add 1 more and that's your hip thrust movement from the core of your body will generate a perfect roundhouse kick.

[@trevorlee5192]

When the GOAT speaks we listen 🔥🔥🐐

[@SENSEIJASON]

TRUE DAT MA BROTHA!

[@ggmakoy7291]

I've been doing it right all along. As a Yaw-Yan practitioner, I was taught to keep our hands up to keep our defense when kicking. I get tempted to generate more power by swinging my arm though.

[@kristianjensen5877]

Well we *can* swing our arm depending on the circumstances. If we've noticed the opponent isn't countering much, we might want to swap safety for power or if we catch them in a situation where being countered isn't a huge risk (eg. we have moved off of their center line by ducking/dipping/rolling to their side / blind angle before kicking). When fighting straight on, posting / guarding is always a good habit to have though.

[@ggmakoy7291]

@@kristianjensen5877 oh thanks for the info sir

[@maxrey4055]

Good instruction ! Also having a bag that doesn't move I also key for getting the technique down 100%. Too many people move pass the development with a still bag worrying about "more realistic" training with a swinging bag. That comes later

[@SENSEIJASON]

You made an Excellent Point! Thank you for the comment and for watching! -Jason

[@martialartistmindset35]

Solid tips, sir. I agree with every one of them. In addition, for my students moving into the intermediate level, I have them focus on turning the shoulder over and driving through with the hips (rather than pulling the shoulder back and/or "flicking" or straightening the leg prior to impact). Just some food for thought. Love the vid and the detailed breakdown. Keep up the great work!

[@SENSEIJASON]

Thanks for the awesome comment brother, best of luck to your school and students!

[@SENSEIJASON]

Yes sir, martial arts is about dynamic strength and flexibility. It is a difficult skill to master! Thanks Master Sensei Kenny!

[@jacksonloy924]

Should the lead leg be straight when hitting the target? It can be bent in Muay Thai sometimes but is it different in kickboxing?

[@SENSEIJASON]

At the impact point, full extension to slight extension is all acceptable. It really just depends on the target area and amount of power you want to deliver. Fully extending will leave you more compromised to being countered though.

[@freshdumpling]

Wow I like your advice on form first before anything. Love it

[@SENSEIJASON]

Of course, technique is number one! God bless 🙏🔥

[@kristianjensen5877]

Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Also, you forgot to mention, that the shorter your shorts are, the better your roundhouse kicks will naturally be. If we really want perfect roundhouse kicks, we should fight in speedos. =)

[@kevinross8038]

But I'll throw one with my left leg to step forward into right handed boxing. Since I'm fairly ambidextrous and under six foot this is how I close the distance against people with greater reach. Is there a better way to do this?

[@simonralston4545]

Hi Jason. Thanks for vid. I don’t have access to a heavy bag, do you think it’s possible to practise/learn the roundhouse effectively without one?

[@SENSEIJASON]

Yes of course, you will have good “form”. But without practicing any impact training on a heavy bag or something similar, you will not be able to learn proper power transfer and positioning when you “connect” to a target. I trained karate most of my life and classes are usually taught without any impact training, so a high priority was focused on the “form” or “shape”. Without bagwork or heavy bag training your “form” may lack “substance”.

Lean for kick is a capoeira technique, some call meia lua de compasso.

Yes, I have 15+ years in shotokan karate. I too was taught this way. But if you must learn to adapt and be able to strike with your shin/instep, instead of your toes.
