[@LuKe31197]

@外人外人 Where have you heard that a taekwondo fighter's round kicks generate two times as much force as a Thai fighter? All the studies I have read, obviously excluding Sport Science due to their lack of any sensible controls have Muay Thai fighters regularly on top of the force output.

[@andresvalentin6924]

It's not just about how hard they kick. It's about how they kick. If an elite Taekwondo practitioner tried this with his instep he's gonna break his foot. Muay Thai fighters forearms and shins are like iron because of all the blocking they do among other things. Leg kicking with the instep isn't the best way to go.

"I believe a powerful kick is more devastating than a powerful punch." *Facepalm* Obviously it is, legs are more powerful than your arms, they carry you everywhere.

[@NSLM]

Haha I know, right! xD

[@andreigiugiuc9048]

Usually the punch is more powerfull, this is because your arm moves faster and strength is POWER x SPEED which means the arm results with less power but more speed then the leg which is more streght, but then again this guy has both power and speed in his legs

[@andreigiugiuc9048]

[@jonathananderson7990]

There's an issue with the physics. The density of the item your striking matters. Notice from the football, to soccerball, to punching bag, then bat, than maple bat. The strike force goes up due to the density. The athlete is able to deliver more striking force the greater the resistance, due to the object not giving way at a lesser force "newtons of power generated". The truth is they did this for show for the "WOW" factor. The prior athletes probably had a MUCH higher striking force than 1/4 the striking power of the kick boxer but the object did not allow them to demonstrate. Not to say as prior younger athlete of both football, soccer, and combat sports, that the kick boxer didn't generate the kick of most force, or at minimum, would have had the least pain and practice kicking an object of higher density than our own shin bone. Just that regardless of the shin density, which can only be so much more dense, the leg speed and follow through can not be THAT much greater from professional to professional.

There's a couple videos of Buakaw kicking down a tree, however, the micro fractures don't come from kicking hard object, most of the conditioning comes from running and skipping (for most Thai fighters in Thailand, fighting is not a sport but is a job, so they train for 8 hours or more a day and fight every friday or so).

absolutely false. Conditioning comes from kicking the heavy bag, hard objects and bamboo tapping. Ive been pro for over 7 years. I trained at Tiger in Thailand. running helps but if running is all you need to do then basketball players could kick through a bat or marathon runners can kick through a bat and we all know that is not true.

Hip/shoulder separation. Let the lower half of the body work first while the upper body stays back and loaded. Doing this allows for the myofascial tissue on his left side to stretch, then snap back together creating foot and leg speed. If there are any baseball players or throwing athletes out there, research hip/shoulder separation, it will help you hit farther and throw harder.

[@DanaNotWhite]

LMFAO! They get a world class Muay Thai champion and they say "If he kicks just 2 inches lower he may fracture is leg". Thai fighters of his level have at least 20 years of shin conditioning so their bone density is much higher than a person who doesn't train. If he kicked lower and it didn't break, he would throw another until is does. Thai's are tough but with his experience he doesn't feel 100% of the pain because the nerve endings are dull from so many years of conditioning and fighting. Thai's check kicks with their shins and they throw 50+ kicks at each other in a match and their shins don't break. Why don't these shows bring in experts to properly inform the people they are watching? 🤯🤯

Muay thai has been recorded as having the strongest kicks. The reason being that the leg is used as a bat. The leg doesn't bend during the kick and it takes the shortest, straightest route. That means it's easily readable. But that doesn't matter because the speed on the route is faster than most kicks. Tae Kwan Do uses the knee as a fulcrum. So the PSI on that would only be a force from the knee to the ankle. Muay thai kick's PSI would be from the hip to the shin. Longer lever, more force.

[@danielhaire6677]

Fight Science once did an episode on power strikes. Muay Thai came in third place behind Capoeira and Tae Kwon Do. The Muay Thai practitioner did about 1400 pounds of force on impact. Capoeira did about 1800. TKD came in at 2300. End result: I would not want to be hit by any of the three.

This Thai guy has very good technique with conditioning.

[@badbeatbri6695]

+Krauty McLederhosen You still didn't address the main point to which we are responding. Namely that one can apply much more force to a heavy bag than to a soccer ball or football which moves away too fast for you to apply the required 700 lbs. of force. Why do you think they had two guys holding the bat still instead of just hanging the bat loosely from a rope? It's because it would move away at first contact making it nearly impossible for a human to break. They disqualified the other two athletes based on an unfair, unscientific comparison. Now wipe away your boyfriend's crusty splooge from your eyes and read what I have written, because it is all true.

Actually it doesn't matter what object they kick. The other objects have much more acceleration than the bag, so the bag has more mass but less acceleration.

arent muay thai fighters supposed to be standing on toes when kicking? and kick with shin not feet

[@himynameis2739]

I thought similar. For Muay Thai kicking I thought he was quite close to the foot. A couple inches further up the shin would've had a more solid impact.

[@Theairsofttroll]

Levon iTz clearly you've never kicked a thai bag with your foot... Kicking with your shin hurts you but it hurts the other guy much more. kicking with your foot hurts you 1000x more than it hurts them. also thai fighters stand on the balls of their feet.

[@yksnimus]

you need to have the strongest base as possible while kicking, otherwise you will run out of balance if you miss or if someone kick your leg (the one on the ground) you're gone for good.

[@xepherno]

Balls of your feet not your toes what do you think they are ballerinas?

[@johnnysockpuppet45]

I think you'd have to be really good to recreate a Muay Thai kick on a whim, you have to be pumping with adrenaline and animalistic rage and fear to get a full force kick.

[@Joe_Cool48]

Why yes, I definitely can-not do this. I would move the bat, then cry from pain. This gives me greater respect for trained fighters

[@WolfyAxe]

What! I thought Bane was the man who broke the bat?

[@randyranderson]

Haha. I almost threw up I laughed so hard. Well done. Very clever.

[@BenjiClips614]

I’m just here to say that Mauj Thai is a superior fighting technique. Reason why most MMA fighters are learning it. It’s effectiveness and power is beyond being pretty like most styles.

[@mehraankhan3587]

Oh my god, if that man kicked a common man he would die 😱

[@miduk8154]

Looking back on the 770lbs recorded force. Mind you, it was done on a weighted bag which holds its own. So to compre his kick on different bats, but not the same weight as the bag is somewhat erroneous..the height of his kick should also be similar... he did a middle leg kick on the bag, but does low leg kicks on the bats. Huge respect for Mr Mel. Yes, he'll break them coz he probably has more than 800lbs kick in him. Very unsafe for the bat holders too! Production crew should've thought of some"thing" safer. 🥲

[@TheKody1994]

my dad can do this, its not anything special for a good martial artist.

[@bakha0888]

Didn't Taekwondo guy hit the bag with more than 2000 lb of force in comparison between TKW, Karate, Muay Thai, and Capoira?

[@karaoke00]

Yes, but its a stupid test because of different weight of participants

[@callofdutyforfun5649]

Yes

[@unknownentity8256]

Yeah and he is like twice his weight? My friend force is mass x acceleration, ofcourse it would be harder from a heavyweight.

[@satomiwa]

That's cool and really amazes me. I wish I'd taken up Muay Thai or really any martial art when I was a kid, but I never thought about it, and now I'm old. Very impressive. When I was young, I used to punch concrete pillars for no real reason. I wonder if doing that hardened up my knuckles, and if they went back to normal once I stopped doing it, or if it works that way.

[@EssenceOfTrance]

My friend told me there are two perfect ages when you can start a martial art. 5 years and now. I'm 24 and I just started MMA. I don't know how old you are but we have new guys over 40 coming to train with us. You're never too old :)

[@jasonc.4472]

just watched a video where they used the hanging bag with the sensors, and a Tae Kwon Do kick produced 2300lbs force!!! They should of used him on this show!

[@RORYPRAYANA]

Thats why this is the first striking offense not a self defense anymore and the first martial arts i learn

[@Trielectify]

5:13.

[@vikipoyta]

since when is force measured in pounds? Not only is it not a metric unit, which is pretty dumb in itself, but it´s not even a unit of fore! Maybe I´m just easily irritated but this shit pisses me off...

[@asgeirnilsen6752]

They mean pounds of force.

[@MisterLiBRiUMz]

Lol, kyokushin students break bats on a daily lol

[@midnut9036]

I like how they have this high production set up to analyze the force of his kick and make cool edits, but the way they set up the bat is by having some random guy laying on the floor.

[@trollerjakthetrollinggod-e7761]

Kicks >>>>>>>~punches

[@danieldunn156]

But he is kicking the thinner part of the maple bat. I want him to kick the thickest part just like they showed with the baseball example.

[@andrewc0128]

+Daniel Dunn The bats usually break at the weakest point which is closer to the hands even if the force his applied to the barrel area ;)

[@Dangineering]

+Daniel Dunn ...

[@danieldunn156]

Yes?

[@coryryan5547]

it will still crack at the weakest part. unless you want to make the entire bat with thickness of the thickest part.

[@aphextemper44]

the lever effect amplifies force on the weakest point, that´s why you can sprain your back by lifting 10 kilograms with arms fully extended to the front while being able to lift 50 kg close to the body. Hitting the thickest part makes breaking the bat easier.

[@yonahgreene]

Muay tai fighters are so tough thats why his conditioning meant that he said it only hurt a little even if we could kick that hard without shattering out own bones it would hurt like hell. Really impressive

[@axnlogix]

I'm more amazed that the guy at the bottom holding the bat was able to hold it against the force of the kick.

[@oterdverg]

[@sirturd2954]

Man the kicks some of these guys can throw with kickboxing backgrounds even amateurs I’m convinced could break some ribs for sure...

[@gamercatsz5441]

You can see a guy doing this like 60 times in a row for a guinnes world record, and several times he hits the bats wrong so it won't break and his shin bone takes the full recoil. Painfull to watch, but the guy is fine at the end of the video. and he has the world record in the end.
