Perfect, perfect. 30 years of kick boxing, love a front push kick. I also believe like you show, circle, move to his side. Nothing works in every situation but learn your 3 or 4 best and FASTEST moves, nuff said. Great video!!!!!

[@patmcnamara]

Right on! Thanks

[@Scooter1980]

@@patmcnamara what are your thoughts on a front power kick to the hip flexor vs. the solar plexus?

[@rawfotra926]

Nice! Great front kick. Knocked a guy down once. Back in my bar working days. It ended there. He just kinda looked at me whilst trying to catch his breath. He promptly left the bar. It's funny how sometimes the simplest of tech will discourage a violent aggressor. Just clinching and controlling biceps can discourage someone. I've gotten lucky twice with that. Not one blow thrown and the aggressor choosing not to engage anymore. The best fights are the ones that don't happen. Cheers to all the macmetal freaks! Stay safe. Stay smart. Mad love from the republic of Texas.

Awesome advice about the one point of contact Pat...seriously vulnerable

[@matthewsherman2896]

Thank you both so much. Pat you remind me of a real life father figure form of Tigger the Tiger which is truly awesome. I watch your videos and learn these real life skills that help me especially in moments I don't want to happen but have to be prepared for. CJ I can tell you both go way back and to see this example of true friendship brings me so much joy. Thank you both for making these videos and sharing with us all the skills you have learned. To be able to share this information with fun and innocent accents despite the experiences of real life I imagine you've lived means so much to us all. Keep up the great work mentors. :) I really appreciate you both

[@MetalMotivation]

Thanks for the kind words, Matthew.

[@buckbuck22]

prefect teaching. thank you Sir.

[@pavXX]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the teep kick. Difficult to stop and so so irritating to be on the receiving end. Quick to come out, and importantly quick to retract. It's the quick jab of kicks.

ps: and is that "Homeless Bob"?

[@jasestrong]

It always blows me away to how the Trolls respond to SGM Mac, they treat him like he was some 2day NRA shake and bake instructor compared to his real resume and his real world experience. I take everything that SGM Mac does as being one of the best trained dudes in the world and proven in the shit over and over. Thank you for taking your time to put these videos out for us. I always walk away with new tools and techniques from each of your video’s .

[@alanparadis5061]

Front ball kick in our dojo, but hell yeh! Great video gentlemen!

[@sp22m3]

Good presentation. 👍 A couple things though: 1) clench is awesome for controlling someone if it is just a boxing match. However, do not hangout there in a street fight because it leaves their hands to go to their belt line and then go to you. It's a great way to catch a knife in the ribs if you're not careful. 2) another great kick for defense if range is compressed is an oblique kick. Your overall body mechanics move somewhat like throwing a knee, but landing your foot above their knee can completely wreck their leg. Throwing it higher can push them back to create space. It's very difficult to see coming as well and easier to defend a takedown from. 3) don't sleep on a properly thrown round kick either. There's a video of a mma guy in a parking garage getting chased by some chulos. He smacks a round kick. AKA "heavy leg kick" across the guy's IT-band, completely leveling him. He then shoots a double and slams the guy down, knocking his attacker out. If you've ever caught a shin across your thigh, you know how effectively it will put people that don't train down.

[@driver3899]

yeah a hard leg kick can really change some ones opinion of fighting you. Just have to watch out for right punch that might be coming at the same time so built in head movement is a must I like the inside leg kick, step right to get an angle/ some distance from their right hand and throw your left kick it into their leading left leg. If they are transferring weight onto that leg for a big wind up punch you can really lay some hurt on that thing Dont make it (or any kick) your first move though, if someone has wrestling or grappling background then as soon as the fight starts they will try to clinch up. If your first move is to kick as they do it then you are going onto the ground with them What you say about the clinch is also true, its excellent for momentary control and landing a good knee or elbow but then you should try transition to their back with a russian arm drag or duck under or something, better yet transition to a sweep/trip to get them on the ground The key is to keep them reacting to you, never let them be proactive/have a chance to think or go for a weapon

[@slippenslug3266]

I've recently had the most intense fight I had ever had in my life recently against a 110-120lb Pitbull that was roaming the street late last Friday night. I fought this thing for 15 minutes and was getting scared cause I was starting to get gassed out. now I have been in a few fights with other guys which I find usually stops more from a bruised ego or some limited physical pain more than anything else, which then we part ways and things are resolved. But I've never fought anything that has the ferocity of something like that. I'm a pretty big guy, 6'5 210lb with most of my martial arts training in jujitsu and boxing. after this attack though it really shows that I have a lot to work on especially with kicking. A very humbling experience and a big ego check. Remember not all your enemies in life are going to be another person!!!!!

[@Joben2112]

That’s gnarly man, I’ve not had to get into a physical altercation with a dog before but have encountered a dog in the woods that was within range to get to me quick and was growling and showing teeth. Adrenaline was pumping and all I could think about was holy hell, I’ve fought a couple guys over the years, but that was idiotic drunken disputes at parties in my younger years, and this thing is not gonna give two shits that I’m hitting it. I’ve only got a fixed blade on me so im either putting that to use, or I try get its back and try my damndest to choke it out if I’m lucky. Thank god backing off and talking to it calmly got me out of that bad spot, it was fairly domesticated. Ended up it was a Doberman that got loose from a neighbors house and was known for being aggressive it wasn’t supposed to be outside. But I’d much rather tangle with one of those lanky ass dogs than the lump of muscle that is a pit. You got lucky for sure. Any bites from it?

[@MB2.0]

Note to self: stab charging pitbulls

[@macabre19]

Great information as always. Kicks are dangerous to use if you're not good at them.

[@jumbothompson]

Exactly. That's what people don't understand. You have to be an absolute master at some of these kicks to have them work as self defense. People always say use a low kick. Really? A low kick against a guy who's full of adrenaline is going to work? Ya if you've trained it for years and can rip a guys legs off with them. Otherwise you won't do shit.

[@Seedy446]

Don’t forget the head-butt!!

[@Gunge-vq2ik]

love the vid !!! thank you!!!

[@Ronin____5000]

Front kicks are essential. As are knees in the clench. A good rear knee in the clench opens up into a knee kick, shin scrape, or foot stomp. I really like what you're putting out here. I might join your squad to see what's up in there

[@Carnerd101]

I'd recommend training leg kicks as well. I specifically remember sparring someone with better reach and great defense. The only thing I had was kicking his thigh and butt. I wasn't going hard at all, but he had to tap out just because I kept landing kicks on those spots.

[@beenschmokin]

THIS IS SPARTA! If they make a God of War movie Mac has to play Kratos. He is the God of war.

[@mosin9105]

Thank you

[@discodan1592]

Awesome video as usually...me personally i like to take the knees out..if you cant stand you cant come after me...also as i get older i keep my kicks low, the lower they are less likey their grabbed...unless they shoot in

[@joshbattista7049]

Bob has definitely been put through the ringer from the looks of it.

[@kenmvilla]

Did a lot of karate back in my day, so lots of kicking. I remember thinking "Yeah when I get in a fight I'm gonna do this and that" but we also did a lot of sparring and street fighting oriented instruction. A couple of things I would like to add/reiterate. Yeah like mac says, it you haven't practiced kicking, a real fight is not the place to start. You'll end up on your ass. Stick with front kicks and kicks that are low. Don't be trying to be Jean Claude kicking dudes in the head. Front kick is great to the chest or under the chin. When you're in close enough, a round kick to the knee or calf is great, you'll be surprised how often you can catch someone slightly off-balance and they go down. This is great stuff by Mac though. Thank you.

[@Ronin____5000]

101% agreed.

[@simpleman8644]

Frontkick, 1 + 2 is a nice combination I’ve used a few times. On the bag I follow it up with a left lead hook to the head or right hook to the body. But I’ve never made it to the hook part in real life

[@kenmvilla]

@@simpleman8644 hell yeah. Especially when the adrenaline is going, nice reliable front kick 1 2 is great. It's amazing how effective you can be just by putting combos together and not just trying to land one shot

[@Voxclamantis]

Thanks! What are the benefits of the Muy Thai tiep over the mae geri? Is it primarily opening the distance gap? The mae geri when delivered properly also should not telegraph. thanks again.

[@mbagwell2607]

I’m a pretty tough guy too. Last time I kicked a dude with no arms and legs the fight was over quick!

[@lokiprepper]

I had a guy roll up on me one time and started talking shit. But I’m a big tough dude as well and know how to my handle myself, so I tipped his wheelchair over.

[@ACartmanJr]

Pause-HUMPH, that was funny lol

[@nro9450]

If you’re not trying to catch your opponent by surprise with the kick ie: you’re both squaring up for whatever reason. Throw a kick-faint to see their reaction and you’ll get a good feel for them even something as simple as lifting your knee up to your waist should get a reaction

[@macabrother75]

I mostly practice low kicks waist down and close leg sweeps.

[@BRADLEY856]

Everything you show is “right”. It might not look nice, or be the 120% Ameridotay move. But it’s right. Cheers Pat

[@KNIGHTJUMPS]

Ameridotay is real sir.

[@BRADLEY856]

@@KNIGHTJUMPS Oos. Indeed. Never forget that grown stomp. Make that groin. Those growns are bastards to execute

[@randymeli7927]

Not to mention the front kick comes up under the peripheral so it's hard to see coming. Especially if you draw your opponents attention with your hands.

[@harleydavidson2349]

Glad you advised against throwing a kick “unless you’re really good at it.” IMHO, most are not. Low front snap kicks to the groin…now we’re talking but you still have to train. A good fighter will see the telegraph and I bet most on this thread couldn’t generate a powerful kick past the waist (if that).

[@gx12]

Would love to see your material on ground fighting. “Stay standing” is an excellent strategy but strategy isn’t a replacement for skill- so what skills are your favourite for when the worst happens and you find yourself ground fighting?

[@MB2.0]

Bjj or wrestling lol

[@gx12]

@@johnrhodes9533 I agree, freestyle would make an excellent base for self defence. Any of the major grappling styles would- folk, greco, judo, sambo. I get your point about BJJ, but I haven’t actually seen anyone start on their knees for years- most modern gyms have an excellent wrestling curriculum blended into their jujitsu. And never underestimate the importance of being able to put someone asleep.

Muay Thai. Seems like PMAC is highly recommending it without recommending it.

[@JK-vc7ie]

I have almost zero real life experience here, but I feel certain a nasty leg kick is effective. Perhaps more effective than the front / push kick. Have you ever been on the wrong end of a hard kick to the thigh?

[@daexmachinus]

It really depends on the context. I think generally, it's more practical to teep/front kick when your opponent is going straight at you because the kick should give you a lot of space afterwards. Otherwise, yeah a calf/thigh kick would be fine.
