Sylvie's Technique Vlog - How I Like to Train Knees on the Bag

[@randysmith2866]

I tried for years to be able to throw these knees and simply could not do them. That one little tip at 5:26 to “go offline” made all the difference. Throwing that knee seems so natural now. Thanks for adding it to my offense! Good luck to you in your career!

[@AnonymousRaimon]

I’m just starting out with muay thai and your channel is a real inspiration! Keep it up!!

[@alec9360]

I cannot do those fast knees for the life of me. I'm super tall and my head is at or above the top of the bag, so I always just grip the chain. I like the idea of using your forearms to "steer" your opponent, I think that'll help me a lot. Added this to my "watch again" playlist.

[@henrylugo7097]

How this woman hasn't been on the JRE podcast yet is beyond my understanding

[@Loyal2law]

It's actually awesome that this popped up on my recommendations right after you won your championship bout a few days ago (Date of this comment: 5/27/2019), and you nailed your k.o. with exactly the inside power knee you're sharing here.

[@ayske1]

Here after my first loss. This is gold. Thank you!

[@louisjolliet3369]

Maybe unorthodox but one thing I like to do when kneeing the bag is to switch grips from standard (the one in the vid) to cross-face to double underhook then back to standard, all while throwing knees. Clinching is super dynamic and IMO one should "stay alert" on the bag. BTW - I am subscribing. The author of these vids has really good knees.

[@andrewcrockett8520]

Great instruction,great technique.

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Sylvie, thank you for all of your outstanding videos and for sharing your plethora of knowledge with all of us fans. God bless and protect you always.

[@tonymac5316]

This was really eye opening. I can’t wait to practice this at the gym. I’ve been doing the straight knees for conditioning the entire time.

[@hfng08]

Your videos are a gem. Learning so much from you.

[@MagPencho]

Sylvie can you make one on elbows?

[@TCN2024]

Great video! I'm about a month into Muay Thai training and your videos really help add guidance to my individual training sessions with the bag. Thank you!

[@adrcamacho1]

FREAKIN AMAZING TEACHER!!!! Love these videos!

[@seniknine]

This is great. I've been Wanting to learn a better way to practice knees on the bag when I'm at open gym. Definitely makes so much sense to control the bag with my arms. This ain't no MMA. Hahahah thank you for the lesson, Kru!

[@troyt6864]

[@darrencodd8798]

Training the last 5 years your technique is brilliant love legend respect would not like to receive one of those knees it would end the fight for real 😎👍

[@amck72]

Excellent !!!

[@davidpilkington9760]

Thanks for the vid, you're a great teacher. Also those knees look like they would kill someone :)

[@FanAgainCollectibles]

@Sylvie Are these techniques for clinch work or are they rooted in traditional Muay Thai? I have been listening to Saenchai and he's wanting the sport to move more towards the traditional side of the art rather than what the gamblers want to see and bet on... Your thoughts?

[@jamiancarreon9896]

Very interesting thank you

[@raymondr2821]

Can you do a video clinch knees and inverted knee to the body ..or how you enter from clinch

[@andreJT9]

Thanks

[@openpeace1174]

Do you think mauy thai is better for close range fighting opposed to Dutch style kick boxing

[@raindropproduction8707]

Love these videos as a beginner. My knees are killing me more then my shins tho. I try to do 300 of these and my knee cap gets mangled is it normal? Maybe just from rubbing the bag or is it poor technique?

[@elsuperpollo2273]

The gym I been training at, hasn't articulating the reason why or showing more how this works indepth. I can see why the gym teaches more MMA and Muay Thai twice a week we're I'm at in central Alabama

[@steelmember6326]

good job

[@SSM_33]

You are inspiration thnx

[@Swishasweet2811]

Can you use a small punching bag to pratice the clinch ?

[@8limbsUs]

Yes

[@ronnysudiono315]

Question to Sylvie: you told us to not grap with your fingers/hands when kneeing, but instead to use your elbows and forearms to clinch the neck/shoulder, I think that is a very good (training) advice. But why then I saw you still grapping the bag with your fingers when kneeing?

[@osamely_varan]

maybe, because it is very unnatural not to do that, when you do not have gloves at the moment :)

[@markymark2892]

Hi Sylvie, i love your videos, when are you going to open your own gym? Please let it be in NY, i would def sign up in a heartbeat.

[@drjqool]

Hey Sylvie, is there a reason you're on your toes with both feet?

[@oilequalsgold2837]

Your great

[@TheMylittletony]

3.24: I have seen someone getting hit with knees like that in a beginner fight. Guy didn't know how to defend. Not a pretty sight.

[@Costrista]

If I support you in patreon, will I be able to download the videos? Are they time limited or something? The documentary is 40hrs more less right now, how much will it cost? Also, did u consider adding subtitles to the videos?

[@oreo-lb4ip]

that hurts like hell.

[@mccryptovn]

you are Sarah Connor in real life

[@dreadknot2238]

The clinch knee doesn't look like it can do damage

[@dreadknot2238]

David S yeah I know it hurts the one you straight knee in their stomach. The one I'm referring to is the knee where you kinda like bring your leg out on the side and attack the opponent on the side , that one doesn't look it can damage because the way your too close to your opponent the leg doesn't have the distance to give enough momentum equal to power. You see that a lot in muay fights where the knee score the most points.

[@rawbbingmysellph7464]

you have no idea what you're taking about

[@dreadknot2238]

Rawbbing Mysellph at : 0:47 is the one I'm referring to. You see this a lot. Go watch a fight you'll see what I'm talking about. If that bag was actually a person, both of them would go into clinch fest. They're are two possible could happen: (1) opponent block with knee or (2) she land a strike although the kentic energy is not enough to deliver the power because the opponent is thrashing the body around to causing the opponent to lose balance, this would disrupte the strike losing its energy power. Sometimes you see both clinching and the next thing you see one guy end up '' behind '' his opponent because what is happening is his opponent is turning his body away from the striker. In other word, it another technique to avoid the knee into the stomach.

[@itkboxing471]

+dread knot Those are "curved knees" at 0:47 . One of the reasons that these are trained is because in the clinch, usually the fighter with LESS dominant position will immediately try to press, squared up, his hips to his opponent's hips.... to cut off the range needed for throwing straight "thrust knees". Curved knees have less power, but that's mostly all you've got when the other guy goes hip-to-hip to neutralize or to stall for the Ref to reset. Another main reason that CK's are trained is b/c they certainly do work, hurts and add up in damage + scoring. And the knees are not aiming at the stomach, but the ribs; which hurts a lot more. There are also ligaments at the ribs that are easily ripped/aggravated by knees, and most fighters are already being festered by these ligament injuries that are often, ongoing from training, etc. You can also turn your leg 90deg and CK with the full front of your knee, which hurts even more.

[@KerryDSC]

that side knee to the ribs may not be the most powerful, but it doesn't have to be, hitting someone with that over and over adds up to a sore rib cage:)

[@kuvceebxab1]

oh girl you are dangerous

[@andreJT9]
