[@odojang]

Icy Mike is right; this is Taekwon-Do. most people think Taekwon-Do is just high kicks and jumps. Taekwon-Do teaches to kick at any target and at any angle. Also, the way you guys work on the techniques, experiment and study it so that your training then can focus on what works best for each one of you... Well done gentlemen. This is the way ;)

[@Heavenly_Demon_God]

You can't kick leg in taekwondo tho

[@odojang]

@@Heavenly_Demon_God In sport, no; because it would discourage high level performance and needlessly multiply the risks of injury. But in the complete training of General Choi Hong Hi, there are many low kicks and leg attacks, sweeps and checking kicks, starting with several patterns teaching those moves (i.e. Gwang-Gae's side checking kick, Po-Eun's low side-kick, Gae-Baek's front twisting kick, Moon-Moo's front leg sweep etc) up to and including sparring sessions aimed at self-defense or perfecting kicking. Unfortunately, too many people only know about Olympic Taekwondo, where a lot of techniques (including the hundreds of hand techniques, several specifically tailored to also attack the legs) are not allowed and therefore not known or perfected. That's the downside of sport in a martial art.

[@MxMe-su1ch]

This isn't WTF or ITF TKD by any stretch of the imagination.

[@odojang]

@@MxMe-su1ch My guess, American TKD. Some masters like the late Jhoon Rhee modified early Taekwon-Do (before ITF; 1955-1966) into their own thing for their US students and markets.

[@ryanliu6694]

There's also a feint that my coach Marcio showed me with Aishiwaza (a Judo trip) where you feint a kick and sweep the leg on the floor with an ouchi gari (a judo throw). You can also do it in Muay Thai I believe but you definitely can in Sanda

[@ahmadday64]

please record this

My favorite technique I have taken from my TKD days. I usually do thigh first then stomach, but this calf to thigh seems great.

[@corinbw]

If the person doesn't check the first kick or brings the check down too fast that second harder kick can get the inner thigh and if it hits right it drops you. I used this combo a lot when I sparred.

[@TryingExtraHard]

If you want to do some more research on TKD style kicks used for both attacking the legs and intercepting an opposing kicker's attacks, check out Taekkyon. It's an older martial art from Korea that is one of the roots of TKD. Some of it is vaguely dance-like similar to Capoeira, but the techniques can still be borrowed and applied. Also some elements of Judo if you're into that sort of thing.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

It depends on the ruleset you're fighting in. I will usually tackle them when they they lift their leg, wait for the to push back and then i do a forward takedown (the takedown depends on what grip i manage to get, it's usually some kind of Tai Otoshi). You can't let you opponent know your intentions tho

[@JimReuterskiold]

Double jumping roundhouse kick to the body or body-head is a taekwondo technique. TKD practitioners don't typically train any leg kicks (it's illegal in sport TKD) but it seems like it would be easy to apply the technique to leg kicks.

The leg kick the head kick at the start is so sick but the double leg kick feels like it's setting me up for my favourite kick and I don't have to switch. Maybe it would set me off balance more than I think. Cool video all the same but I love to switch kick off of inside leg kicks thrown at me so much and it used to work real well for me back in the day.

[@moustachio334]

That almost running chopping leg kick is called a cut kick. I learned to do it from training beside Saemapetch. He could cover half the distance of the ring and angle out to safety. He spent that day mostly practicing on pads and the heavy bag.

[@TC_Personal]

TaeKwonDo guy for many years here. I trained TKD practically my whole childhood and at around 16 moved over to an MMA gym and started training kickboxing and BJJ. If you can take a few things from TKD and apply them in odd situations, you can get great returns in the MMA community. For instance, I used to love using crescent kicks to the guard to get a guy to drop his hands; it's quick, you can force your foot back down quickly to avoid getting caught, and it's unexpected to a lot of muay thai/kickboxing players.

[@TC_Personal]

I was actually trying to find context for this and ran into you explaining exactly what i'm talking about here. Lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJSllmuOlMhpepo

[@benjiboi6669]

I actually do this all the time it works really well you’re not always gonna land super hard but you’re almost always gonna land

[@ScottGarrettDrums]

If you're concerned about power, switch to the ball of the foot. Then, the kick becomes a sledge hammer. Just make sure you train it properly or you get broken toes, like swinging a front kick up. Mike seems like a good guy when he's not on his own channel.

Sometimes I like going under the check. It works great when someone is checking a lot of your kicks. A week ago when sparring I kicked twice and let him check twice and the last time I went under after he got used to checking and it can be a nice calf kick or a sweep.

[@danlewis7707]

In Way of the Dragon During the Chuck Norris v. Bruce Lee fight at the end Bruce uses the same strategy. Lots of feints and low leg kicks and stop kicks and following through with right cross or hooks.

[@bentinho]

Not sure of the rules now but back in the late 90's-early 2000's WTF TKD competitions we could outside leg kick as long as it was transitory to a 2nd kick (the double round used here was very popular at the time). First kick would almost freeze your opponent and open them up for the second or if the first kick missed, likely because they slid back, you could run them down with the second kick.

The outside inside leg kick is also useful for someone who's a wrestler like myself. As soon as your opponent back leg is lifted, you can go in for the double leg. He's only standing on one leg for a few seconds.

[@jeffreydheere4737]

Yes, I liked Seth's Hayabusa shin guards, but what were those green ones that Sensei David was wearing?

[@moustachio334]

Yea people think in Muay Thai that we must use one part of the shin. I’ve used the shin, lower shin, and foot. It’s rare you will see a shin to head knock out. Most often it’s the foot or ideally the lower shin. I my use major part of the shin for body kicks and kicking the thigh but for calf/cut kicks I use the lower shin and for head kicks I use the foot or better the lower shin. It depends on your opponents height and if they have a tendency to dip.
