Seemed like Anderson Silva made a beginner mistake when he threw his low kick and Chris Weidman checked it - resulting in the compound fracture. By not turning his hip over he was making contact on the flat part of the bone as opposed to the edge. Does this sound about right or was he doing something else wrong?

In competition, I made a HUGE mistake. I was "hitching" before throwing the round kick. For example, if I was rear kicking with my right leg, I was raising my right arm high, before pulling it low. Watching the film in slow motion, my opponent was actually raising his leg to block my kick BEFORE my foot left the ground! Would highly recommend that fighters film themselves sparring prior to competing. And be highly critical to look for telegraphing your strikes.

[@Mrpandaaable]

That's true that raising your arm telegraphs the kick, but if you lift your arm to your face like you're sneezing into it before throwing it down with the kick, then it acts as a guard in the right situation i reckon.

[@johnperri5464]

@@Mrpandaaable protects your chin, maybe. However, he easily blocked my kick and countered with a leg kick of his own. Most important takeaway is to FILM yourself in some heavy sparring prior to competition. Be critical in your evaluations.

[@VestigialHead]

+ Terrell Jay The only issue with pivoting a lot on the planted foot is that it can cause ankle damage. Lots of TKD practitioners get this issue. So I suggest when you take your initial positioning step start the turn with a step. Then you have less of a pivot to do with your ankle. Either that or make sure you regularly strengthen and condition your ankles.

[@VestigialHead]

@Rio the MadHater Hmm weird comment dude. You seem to be asking why are you talking or communicating in a clear concise manner. That is how "white man" usually communicates. Why would you be surprised their are "white men" communicating online? The majority of people chatting in this forum are likely to be white. So not quite sure how you expect people to communicate. Your post reeks of racism. Weak racism, but racism still. I could come back and say - Why you running or sprinting like a black man? Is that a fair thing to say?

[@manbiteslife3110]

@@VestigialHead I'm not understanding this concept.. What do you mean by take a step

[@VestigialHead]

@@manbiteslife3110 I mean that just as you are about to throw the kick lift the front foot slightly and turn the foot in the direction that the roundhouse will take. This makes for less rotating on your front foot as it is already partly rotated. The purpose is to minimise chances of ankle injury and it can add some torsion to your kick by adding twist to your leg. Not saying you have to do this. Just that I have seen it taught this way and have found it effective. Adding a small step also helps add your body weight to the kinetic chain.

[@moeenshaikh9851]

For me its my toe pivot from the ground to get that reaction force. It makes a huge difference. When it was pointed out to me, I put in the same effort, but the force delivery on the bag was soooo much more and my kicking hip felt more stable when my leg made impact on the bag. I know the reason for me when I "forget" it its because I get too impatient to land a roundhouse kick quickly that I miss that critical step.

[@MaximilianoMendes]

Loved it. Ive spent my whole life kicking with my foot planted on the floor. Then at the beginning of the month i started tkd with my kid.

Also i see beginners will just "throw" their leg into the pad and just hope for the best. The kick comes from the hip, not the leg. If you engage the hipe correctly, the leg will follow corretly.

[@hinhaale2501]

Nice vid! I'd put even more focus on shifting the the hip though. If you teach them to thrust their pelvis forth aswell as the hip together with the torque/twist of the leg it's easier to get the mechanics and you'll get even more power. It's good to learn since the same thing applies to when you're throwing knees whether flying, stop or straight ones into stomach when having inside clinch grip - just kneeing straight up is alot less effective than when you really thrust your whole hip and put your pelvis forwards with it. Adds reach aswell just like with kicks. Most people hit with their frontside ankle or foot which isn't pleasant when the mitts aren't there, pointing out hitting with the shin being optimal is good - alot think you have to condition them iron leg style but you do have a muscle running along side the Tibia protecting the shin automatically while checking kicks f.ex, since it's by raising your foot/toes "up" that flexes it, so as long as your foot isnt vertical during check but lifted you'll get alot less trauma to shins. Optimal is ofc if you keep your foot straight and flex that muscle during round kicks, I've noticed many have trouble with getting used to that though then it may be better for those to step in closer/pivot hard and getting the hit in with the shin that way, foot not-optimally extended but if close - shin connects anyway and the weak foot/ankle with all those tiny easy to shatter bones beyond target. Kicking someone's guard with your foot/ankle can ruin it pretty bad just there so. Good quality topicand content again anyway, keep it up! /Ex Swedish Nak Muay, nowadays just another MT-instructor.

[@DyneTreal]

03:24 Also important to note: Pushing off of the ground with the ball of your foot is not what generates force; it's using the weight placed on the ball of the foot to PULL yourself forward as you pivot (bending the knee with drive from the glute and hamstring). This generates forward momentum that you can transfer into the kick when you drive the hip (of the kicking side) forward and then turn it over for maximum acceleration/transfer of that momentum.

[@latenttweet]

I would like to see someone quantify the difference in energy with the hand up or hand down when throwing a round Muay Thai kick. A very smart super accredited teacher once told me it makes no difference. I started training without dropping the hand. At first it didn’t feel right but it was because I never trained like that, and also some psychological. Basically, even if it gave you 10% more energy, which is doubtful to me, it’s not worth the expensive of opening your face. Especially since most people throw kicks only to miss, get countered, off balance, where you need to recover on guards quickly. Is it really worth it? Then again with a kick that is so committed and very poor recovery (compared to a straight kick or more of a probing kick, or groin if we are talking street) then it should only ever be thrown with 100% confidence in landing it. Not just throwing it to throw it. But I do not see that in tournament

[@jordyvandeven3954]

Hi! Thanks for this nice video but I have a couple of things to add. 1:40 I do kyokushin, and we also have roundhouse kicks but in Kyo (and also in Taekwondo) we don't "wave" with our hands. You said in the video that it helps your swing but I always felt that it creates a negative force, opposed to the body's. As an engineer I think this makes sense but it's fascinating how different Muay Thai is. 2:38 Great explanation on the flat-footed part. I'd add that it also hurts your knees. Maybe not immediately but it will take its toll in time. I've seen knees went out during competitions because of this. Basically people k.o. themselves. Keep on kickin'! :)

[@anthonygregorio2208]

A problem I see is people throwing the leg like a snap kick instead of engaging the entire leg using the opposite hip. I did have one question though. Ive been told to keep your kicking leg relaxed and almost swing it like a baseball player swings a bat by turning their hips. Is this right and how do you do this. Also is it helpful to push off with your toes to get your kick moving?

[@seanfagan]

Yes you want your leg to be like a baseball bat and your hips to guide the bat/leg through the target. A lot of it has to do with relaxing your body and practicing thrusting your hips through (and repetition of course). And yes, driving off your foot and pushing off the ground will definitely help

[@anthonygregorio2208]

Sean Fagan thanks. I will definitely work harder on this.

[@ClimaxingTillDecline]

Mmm I've seen some experienced guys do low/mid round houses without pivoting. Rather than wrong it just lacks power. But that way of kicking can be used to create movement and sometimes trick an opponent since they don't get to feel your full swing. With all that said. Basically lower level kickers won't use it well since they have yet to grasp the importance of setting everything up. Now I'm not a fan of it myself just thought there should be a caveat since there are people that use it successfully.

[@seanfagan]

David Castiilo very good point. Throwing kicks without the pivot (and sometimes without the arm swing too) can still be effective if used in certain ways. I see a lot of kickboxers do this with their low kicks which tend to make them a bit quicker and less telegraphed

[@lr2119]

Usually a strong low kick can be successful without the pivot by stepping at the angle in which the pivot would normally end and letting that hard angle pull your hips through. See: bas rutten.

[@kma3647]

I would never suggest doing that. If you're going for a front kick, don't pivot. If you intend to swing the leg around, you have got to get up on your toes. If you plant your heel, your hip will still try and rotate to follow your shoulders, transferring that torque to your knee. Your MCL will know the difference. There are many ways to feint. Throwing a low-power, poor technique kick that's hard to recover and puts you at risk of injury is not a good way to try.

If I had a partner like her I would train 7/24 :D

If you trained 24/7 you would probably get a partner like her.

@@ArakkAttack chances of me meeting with someone like her would increase but it is not that likely to happen.

It's a proven fact

[@Orimthekeyacolite]

First time I watch just to stare at Cassandra, then I rewind and watch once more for actual technique (and even then it's somewhat hard to concentrate) Please start doing these with some smelly sweaty dude so we could actually learn something!

[@VestigialHead]

+ MALKton This guy has way more reliable knowledge than Ramsey Dewey. Likely has way more fights under his belt too.

[@skaruts]

He seemed like Ramsey, but before I clicked I noticed he wasn't him. But there was a chick next to him hot af...... ninjaclicked.

[@Slappaccino]

@@VestigialHead he does have more fights, and a better record. That doesn't take away from Ramsey's knowledge, though. I love both guy's channels.

Im a beginner and this is awesome info. Thank you.

[@Karlkarlssonn]

these are great tips, will definitely implement these tips

[@sanjuansteve]

Don't throw your arms all over the place when throwing kicks, sacrificing your defense for balance and telegraphing your moves. Learn to throw kicks in balance while maintaining your hands in their position.

[@seanfagan]

Balance is everything!!!

[@jebhank1620]

You definitely need to swing your arms to some degree, you have to know when its appropriate. The only time you would keep your hands in their position (sacrificing speed, power and balance in the kick no matter how much you train to 'stay balanced') is if you are close, in which case it would be suicide to throw a kick. You don't telegraph as much with your arm movement as you do by stepping into a kick.

[@sanjuansteve]

@@seanfagan When you throw a right cross, do you also throw your left hand down and behind you? (Of course not...) Why teach balance at any and all costs (throwing your defense around wildly) rather than teaching striking with balance that doesn't require radical counter balance moves? Have you ever spent a solid 3 or 5 minute round kicking the heavybag focusing on both power and on NOT throwing your arms around for balance? It's a great exercise.

[@bloodsolder01]

Samart Payakaroon says, stay flat footed. Just saying.

[@seanfagan]

Does he? That's interesting. Is there a video of him teaching it?

[@hibernative]

No he doesn't. You made me waste time checking this video, mate kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2eugp9sjLZ-h9k

[@nimkal]

@@hibernative Thx for the link, I can see that he is slightly lifting his foot. Good to break misinformation.

[@BobMiles]

Thank You!

[@trippingballs2034]

You're the first talking about how to turn while flat footed. I was always told I ,as ''forgetting'' to turn while I just couldn't, and now I know I just need to go on my toes. Thanks!

Happy to help!
