Thank you! I struggled understanding this for a while and now I get it!

[@coolwaterdvr]

Thanks for the hop/gallop tip. I still have trouble opening my hips on the double kicks. I need to improve on my flexibility. Luv this channel.

[@warriorcollective]

cool water Thanks for the great feedback once again! I am sure your flexibility will improve with time! Keep training hard!!

[@itpugil]

the clock concept was really useful!

[@Ralphyneil]

Great video lads. This is one of the best switch kick videos I've seen.

[@Twinzzzzz]

This bud really helped me understand the switch kick a lot. Thanks

[@Donatello_h]

1:05 this is amazing! I never thought anything like that! Thanks for th vid!

[@NasheedH117]

I train in Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu Karate but find the Muay Thai Switch Kick/Roundhouse very powerful. I'm adding it to my arsenal. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

[@warriorcollective]

+Nasheed Hameen I am not familiar with your style of Karate but I am glad you enjoyed the video with Rich! It is great to hear you found it so useful!!

[@miguela.cedeno1040]

Great tutorial Stuart!

[@samuelmahmud1909]

Thank you🥋💯 you made/broke it down simple gonna put my work in!

[@curruptedJimbo]

Thank you for this, each rotations during MMA when Muay Thai comes up I nearly always injure the birdies of my left foot when switching kicking, mainly, I think because of my range, of course that also screws up my pivot for round kicks as well.

[@hioxd]

Super late reponse but that happens because of the fact that you're not used to using the non dominate side (your left foot) to pivot. Your left foot intrinsic muscles are just experiencing some form of repetitive use strain. As soon as your increase the endurance of those foot muscles the less pain you'll have in your foot.

[@curruptedJimbo]

@@hioxd well, I appreciate the response regardless. Though I ended up having some bad luck during free sparing. My partner caught me on the inner side of my.did some damage. Would have been fine but some doctor missed the full extent of the damage. Gave my physio. Found out 4 months later that a chip of bone had been grinding the joint all that time. Had keyhole to flush it and smooth things out, now I walk with a slight limp and cannot pivot for shit. But....gave me a good life experience and am way better now, took up piano and violin instead.

[@goldstandardpersonalgrowth]

awesome tutorial, thanks for including the slow motion part. What is the reason for doing the 'gallop' before the kick?

[@warriorcollective]

***** Glad you enjoyed it, the 'gallop' or fast switch is essentially to try and add a bit of speed and power to the lead leg roundhouse kick, especially when doubling up.

[@1heCrowned]

Incredible work! Great tutorial!

[@kylehunter8152]

This is a really late comment but I've been doing MMA/Muay Thai for about five years and no matter what I can't get the kick just right. Any suggestions?

[@fernandocepero8968]

thanks this help me with this kick for my black belt test

[@c86alfonso]

This is a very good explanatiin on this kick. Rhamk you!

[@EverythingSportandCelebrity]

This is very cheeky! I like it and will drill this combo a lot. Thank you, but more please 😂 Can you do a video about switching and foot work/ adjustments when lining up for body kicks. Thank you

[@TheSupaLuna]

Thanks for that. I got it after a few tries.

[@PeteGainz]

nice vid, any chance on getting Rich to do a switch kick vs pendulum kick where the skip step isn't needed? I think on my pendulum kicks i bring my feet together which puts me off balance & is a give away that im going to throw the left leg

[@warriorcollective]

PeteGainz Glad you enjoyed the vid, in terms of what you have asked for, the switch is not always needed to throw the kick. It is commonly used when power is wanted in the lead leg or when distance needs to be changed ie following a punch for example.You can effectively throw the kick with either a step or with out (although without, you need to generate a speed and hip by keeping your weight back and being explosive with the pivot) also so it really all boils down to (a) context and (b) your skill level with kicks. I will however make sure I get someone to do a tutorial on the different ways to execute that kick at some point in the future, hope this helps!

[@PeteGainz]

cheers, the vids are very good quality & instructors are ace

[@bobbymadan8142]

really good videos need to apply this to the bag!

[@warriorcollective]

Glad you enjoyed this great tutorial from Rich!!

[@klh489]

Thanks. Easy to follow and learn.

[@seihavogo7312]

hey bro can you tell me how to get strong kick? thank

[@Ozzy2341]

How do you prevent soft tissue damage on top of your foot please ?

[@stephenorme2831]

Great tutorials man. I'm just back from training in Thailand, ordered myself a 5ft bag. Going through physio ATM so no conditioning or training for a bit but am itching to get back into the game!

[@my2009Babies1]

Flawless! Thank you!

[@queencat4877]

this is awesome, i started kickboxing a month ago, but everytime im done with the kicks the tops of my feet are always gushing blood. how do you kick and not get blisters? i know im not doing it right, i would just like to know any tips

[@warriorcollective]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! First off, congrats for taking up such an awesome activity, you are now in some exceptional company ;-) Secondly, in answer to your question, it is a combination of conditioning, as in your body will start to toughen as your limbs get more used to the striking. Also, you need to make sure you are hitting more with the lower shin when utilising roundhouse kicks (or the very lowest, the instep of the foot) as opposed to striking with the end of the foot. This is how most injuries occur in the beginning with those learning how to kick in this manner. Hope this helps, keep up the training!!

[@KrakenOff]

U can put some kick bandages.

[@larrykimmonsjr8041]

Nice work

[@Ozzy2341]

Should the foot hit the bag ? Or only the shin ?

[@88Musk]

I learned this kick in 1985, It isn't really new. I think is kind of a new thing for a lot of people.

[@idkhehe658]

Hi i like your video. I was wondering why do muay thai fighters not use this switch kick a lot? Is it because it is easy to read?

[@treroney4720]

because in today's muay Thai, most fighters lack fients and trickery. That's why I train American style kickboxing and karate. (along with judo and mma .)

[@TTSetters]

Its like you don't see a lot of switch kicks and/or spinning back kicks (usually a taekwondo technique) which are really effective, but for some reason just aren't used. Look up joe rogan spinning side kick. You'll see the power in that, and why it's not used is odd.

Beautiful execution!

[@warriorcollective]

FFSultrAslan Could not agree with you more, Rich Cadden is an excellent English Nak Muay with a great wealth of experience!

[@mrstrdknmabalz1412]

I saw muay thai fighters do the switch kicks very oftenly. my question is, why dont you kick with your rear right leg? Can someone enlighten me.

[@gilbertmanson1272]

Stkrdknmibalz Distance management. Front leg has more reach than rear leg and by switching you add a bit more power to the kick

[@willhughes6205]

@@gilbertmanson1272 should I focus on perfecting my switch kick before my rear right roundhouse then ?

[@elliottdodson50]

Awesome vid man, I do kickboxing and want to add more speed to my attack and this Kick is fun :)

[@butterchicken61]

i can do some kicks with right leg with good form but i can't move my left leg that accuracy. is it normal that will go away with practice ???

[@warriorcollective]

Everyone, and I mean everyone, has one leg that does not feel as strong or as accurate as the other (this is especially so when you have not been training that long), it really is just a case of practice! I always say work your weaker side twice as much as your stronger one regularly in order to try and get some balance!

[@habibamini8263]

nice

[@tomasechabarriaruiz9355]

cool

[@undeadhunter5]

where was this filmed?…..

[@warriorcollective]

E. White This tutorial was filmed at Chokdee Academy in York with owner and head instructor Rich Cadden. It is a beautiful looking gym!

[@undeadhunter5]

Stuart Tomlinson That's strange, considering the guy is wearing a Glock shirt. I thought handguns were a big no-no over there.

[@someotherguy43]

Can it be done with the opposite leg?

[@dipbar1824]

what do you mean?

[@FifaFanatic555]

For sure. Just kick with whichever leg is forward. So for an orthodox stance you use the left leg as shown in the video, if you fight soutpaw just mirror it, start with the right leg forwards, then step back with the right forwards with the left, and then kick with the right leg.

[@willhughes6205]

@@FifaFanatic555 so you can jab , cross and take step to southpaw then throw rear left roundhouse instead of the shuffle?

It's a traditional Okinawan Style of Karate

So it’s like a flam in drumming

Yup it's difficult to do double leg kicks if you switch kick like bwakaw. But bwakaw switch kick is lightning fast.

i think im too bad for it lmao my double kick is 1st : Left kick 2nd : spinning right kick i guess its because i dont have punching bag LMAO
