[@Ismail_ibn_Ishaq]

Karate kick: Visualize kicking through the target. Muay Thai: Yea, we actually kick through to the target.

I remember sparring about 15 year ago at my good friend Master Bobby Popham’s Georgia Hapkido Academy. He and I did some kick boxing training with other martial artist some back then. Spared with a nice gentleman who was well trained in Muay Thai. Super humble guy. I am 6’2” 200. He was 5’7” maybe 140. I was training Taekwondo, Kickboxing and Hapkido. When we sparred about a minute into the 1st round he threw a kick just like that. My leg just stopped working and I dropped. Master Nishme is right a kick there hits some serious nerves. Opened my eyes.

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s amazing what a well placed kick can do to your leg

[@otisbeck5327]

Gedan Mawashi-geri is Te klap in Muay Thai. I know that there is a "Dutch Style" variant of the low roundhouse kick as well. Great video.

[@JasonNishime]

One of my former trainers was a big fan of the Dutch style low kick as well. Appreciate the support

[@sorearm]

I do dutch style kickboxing and it's very much like a MT kick, we arc and swing in a chopping angle to that sweet spot above and to the side of the knee aiming for that nerve cluster and use the shin impact too. Absolutely kills even when holding kick shield

[@JasonNishime]

From my experience the kick itself isn't really different but the stance its thrown from is what gives its unique style.@@sorearm

[@sorearm]

@JasonNishime yes we do a similar step out on the supporting leg at an angle which aids the chopping in motion 🙏

[@johntay3831]

Almost thought you did Kyokushin from your versatility.

[@JasonNishime]

Not officially but we have full contact matches in traditional Okinawan karate. Mainly just enjoy martial arts and how they overlap. Thanks for the support

[@johntay3831]

@@JasonNishime after all kyokushin is Goju Ryu inspired. You're learning from the true source. good job

[@willianchanrockin3952]

More powerful if you jump/slide a bit throw the low kick same time

[@JasonNishime]

You can definitely get more power that way but this is more to demonstrate the difference in striking surface and chambered vs unchambered leg. There are other footwork variations that may not be as powerful but still very effective leaving the opponent more vulnerable. Thanks for watching

Nice sir

[@gofoodinku]

I'd like to get some low kicks. they look great.

[@JasonNishime]

Low kicks are great

[@hotpopcorncake]

I like karate in short range and Muay Thai low kick for long range. What style of karate you do?

[@JasonNishime]

My primary style is shorin ryu, but I’ve also crossed trained with Muay Thai for 8 years and did some kickboxing. I’m also very open to training with other karate styles and have had the chance to work with kyokushin fighters and other full contact folks out there. Thanks for the support

[@hotpopcorncake]

@@JasonNishime Oh cool, I guess my feed lead your channel since I been very curious how Shorin Karate works. Becuase when I was in Kyokushin I notice They didn't go into detail in Bunkai. I talked to my Senpai , He said its self-explanatory the Katas that I learn. He said i look like i was smart enough to understand it. But Sometimes i have this obesion watching the Old TMA Karate videos on KZbin. Looking for small details that i miss.

[@JasonNishime]

@@hotpopcorncake there are a lot interpretations of bunkai and kata. My father trained in Okinawa before being sent the United States to take over a dojo. He has been researching technique for as long as I can remember and one of the things he always stressed was finding a way to make the technique work for you. I plan to do some video on this topic at some point.

[@pmartinez3985]

good video

[@TheNilNick]

Comprar um protetor de material bom, para os treinos esse aí tá murcho.👍🏻

[@JasonNishime]

Sorry it took some time to translate your comments. We have Thai pads as well. They do require some practice to hold properly. The people in the videos are not trained in striking and have no bias towards either. This was to demonstrate the difference in style of kicking. This is also why I only demonstrate a few and not at full power.
