Sylvie's Muay Thai Technique Vlog - Karuhat Forward Check

[@edgarona1675]

Beautiful block thanks Sivie

[@jameskendrick7805]

Im binging all of these right now. You are a wealth of knowledge Sylvie. Thank you for sharing these ideas and technique

[@davisking100]

Karuhat is my favorite fighter of all time. His technique and style of fighting are beautiful and deadly at the same time. I only hope I can make it to thailand and train with him someday soon. Keep up the good work Sylvie 😍😍😍

[@yurisavchenko4032]

so nice back to this video now after patreon.........

[@notfair3581]

I have watched your video a lot , how many legends of muaythai have you been learning with.

Here's a list, this is most of them: www.patreon.com/posts/muay-thai-uncut-7058199

[@funkatr0n912]

Super helpful, and a great progression from the golden kick. Entirely separating defense from offense is a teaching tool used everywhere, right? But it makes sense to really combine them for efficiency. Keep going on this topic!

[@hanumansrivijaya]

Thank you for those golden nuggets you're sharing with us!

[@scxmmgxng3971]

thats brilliant thanks your helping me so much

[@LP-gf4ll]

Very cool also serves as a feint, hides rear teep, and "question mark" kick also can step into opposite stance step in knee etc

[@LP-gf4ll]

Oops didnt watch till end haha xD

[@texmuaythai]

Sylvie - I totally see the fine-tune distinction and how this block allows you to continue to move forward/threaten attack/etc. One question: I've always been taught that a block that is too straight (not angled out) usually results in the blocker being turned by the kick (or worse losing balance and having the kick score even though it's blocked). I watched a HL video of Karuhat and see the block in action and it looks very straight... so what are you doing to prevent the kick from turning you off balance?

[@ciarandaly6769]

Mike, Sylvie addresses this early in the video - there is still a slight outward turn of the hip. Certainly not visually obvious,though.

[@texmuaythai]

Ciaran Daly that makes sense and I see the slight turn, it just doesn’t seem to be enough to keep balance against a savage kicker

[@ciarandaly6769]

If you're moving forward the brunt of the kick is behind you. Same principle for lowering stance and moving forward to power punch into a leg kicker. Your leg still gets hit but you've moved away from the sweet spot of the shot.

[@8limbsUs]

The block does often need to be slightly open at the hip, but even if straight it will be ok if it is eating up space. There is something about how tight it is up against the body, and tucked it is, that makes it very solid. I know what you are saying, but it's hard to explain why it works so well. The kick will not score unless it moves you.

[@ianfong1000]

I'd imagine that blocking forward, by eating up space like Sylvie says, you are also taking away some of the power by meeting the kick earlier in the swing. That might make it less likely to off balance you. My two cents

[@robfee1473]

This is intelligent. In love with this technique

[@helobobomg]

your technique is beautiful, thank you for the content

[@yurisavchenko4032]

thanks Sylvie for you amazing work share info! i looked your video every day!

[@etherealentity7675]

Master Sylvie creating monsters out of us 😈

[@animeshghosh3825]

Happy New Year Sylvie

[@VladKhomutov]

Threat with a block. hahaha. Still laughing. Love your vids, Sylvie.

[@salsa4umoudrik141]

it s complicate not to lose balance and certainly if he is heavier than you, but idea is interesting, thank you for sharing your vlogs

[@superdkls]

But isn't the side of your leg much softer vs opponent's shin?

[@gongfutaijimy]

This seems sweet for MMA, where the traditional leg kick block is not even done due to fear of takedowns. The recovery and follow up would make this feasible.. in theory at least, I think.

[@philipk83]

It clicked in my head when you said it's got the "F*ck you" feeling LOL

[@marcelomedeiros1296]

🇧🇷 Nice! muito bom seus ensinamentos

[@jameljeanjacques8511]

With this block kick hit the side of the leg no ?And not your shin

[@ciarandaly6769]

So good

[@ClarkeAsimov]

Great principle!

[@mcdarrenpaschal3946]

It is Dao...

[@jaimealvarez7004]

Brilliant

[@cwmyr]

Interestingly this is also how the check is taught in Krav Maga.

[@emaregos8758]

Samart and Janjira teaching the same way
