Oblique kick is so effective. It’s easy and quick to throw, has very little risk, and can do serious damage if you don’t know how to defend it. If ur in a street fight just throw this kick a few times and ur opponent gonna be in a hospital with a torn acl

[@locrianphyrigian3779]

lowlowseesee Alright how bout this. Let's use football again. As usual, it's about money: Tom Brady goes down with a torn ACL from a low hit in a sack. Arguably the most popular quarterback, of one of the most popular teams, was gone for a season. The NFL doesn't want to lose money. Next year, crashing into a quarterback's legs are a 15 yard penalty. Wait until a star gets his knee broken in a big fight. You think if Jon Jones or Ronda Rousey got her knee broken from such a low-skill, low-class kick, the UFC wouldn't ban that motherfucker the next day? They would. It's not that the kick is a bad thing, it's that it's bad for the sport, in the grand scheme of things. This is a combat sport. Key word there is "sport". If it were real combat, someone, or both, would die at the end. We want these fighters to be able to continue to fight, because it's unbelivable to watch, and is a beautiful sport. That's why the kick is lame. If someone gets his knee broken just because MMA is a violent sport, that's whatever; but if it's because of a kick DESIGNED (as I allege) to damage the knee, then that's a waste of a talented fighter, and a waste of money for the UFC. That good enough for you. Let's hear your argument.

Oblique kick. I’ve always called it a push kick. We learnt and taught this back in the eighties in ninjutsu and found it exceptionally effective. One of the best techniques in any arsenal.

[@JofreSteele]

From what I understand, the main difference between the push kick and oblique is that with the oblique you're putting the weight of the kick at a downward angle, whereas with the push kick you're pushing the kick forward making your opponent go back.

[@BenRangel]

I think this will only be legal until there is a serious incident. The first time a major fight is stopped because someone ruins their knee from an oblique kick it will be outlawed in the UFC. (You can damage limbs with submissions too - but that's a gradual attack that allows the opponent to tap. A strike doesn't)

[@36424567254]

+BenRangel things is mma rules already have this: "Engaging in any unsportsmanlike conduct that causes injury to an opponent" listed as a foul. it would be pretty easy to say that this kind of kicks (specially if repeated and with clear intent rather than as a push-back) fall in that category. Of course the non-specific nature of the rule does need some clarifications but it'd be pretty easy to interpet it this way (and i bet as you do that they would if something likes that starts happening).

[@BenRangel]

Mikko Finell With subs you have time to tap out. They are designed to make the opponent surrender before being damaged. There is a huge difference between the instant damage of a kick and gradually overextending limbs to make your opponent surrender.

[@BenRangel]

Mikko Finell That's part of the essence of fighting. Getting knocked out is an obvious risk everyone accepts. Getting your knee blown out is an idea that upsets even most fighters. Knee kicks are not an essential part of fighting, we could easily live without em since only a small number of fighters perform them.

[@36424567254]

Mikko Finell the difference is a KO does not end your career, a broken knee often does. Of course repeated strikes to the head do damage but it's a risk fighters are willing to take as it only starts to show in the long run if at all (depending on how often you do get ko'd)

nobody actively tries to inflict brain damage on another person, at least noone in their right minds. to inflict a "limp for the rest of their lives" is the absolute worst mentality to have in something that is,first and foremost, a SPORT

[@marcaononymous]

when there is a K.O., there is brain damage already.

[@Daboogiepimp]

you are stupid. MMA is a simulated death match, where the fighters are effectively trying to murder each other. If somebody gets knocked out then that is essentially "I just killed you, if the referee didn't intervene I would have proceeded to kill you when you were unconscious in real life", or if you submit someone in a joint lock, that's the same as death, "I broke your arm, now I can kill you". The purpose in MMA is essentially murder. Any small impact towards the head causes the brain to rattle in the skull causing minor brain damage - even a jab. So MMA by default is guaranteed infliction of brain damage - albeit minor. MMA: Brain damage + body breaking + choking unconscious. Simple as that.

[@Daboogiepimp]

you're superimposition of ethics in this bloodsport is silly. Brain damage or joint destruction - all the same.

[@fritzki1]

xeamus very true, and, although one is trying to, ideally, K.O. the other person, this shouldn't result in permanent, major brain damage, no? (Of course, if it happens very often and regularly you will most definitely see the results.) just as, of course, taking a few of these "oblique kicks" to the knee won't leave you limping for the rest of your life, i just had to point out that the idea of actively imposing a permanent physical injury on someone in this context, a sport, is wrong

[@fritzki1]

Rames Khan just as you felt qualified, after reading those two sentences that i wrote, to point out that i am stupid, i will assume, by the overly dramatic swivel that you just produced, that you take yourself way too seriously. you fall under that "at least noone in their right minds" category. i don't know anyone who would "proceed to kill" the opponent if the referee weren't there. go have a snickers and quit with the fake, superficial beastmode mentality.

[@jordanmarshall9160]

I think this is ethically wrong for MMA...Playing for permanent damage I think is where I draw the line. If it happens then that's unfortunate. If a guy doesn't tap in my armbar and it breaks at the elbow then that's mostly his own fault. They try and stop a fight once a guy get's KO's or rocked good enough, to prevent damage for life. This has made the sport more tangible/marketable as it's less violent then no hold barred type of pit brawls. To injure for life and attempt to do it often in a fight is wrong. My 2 cents.

[@tekk2987]

+Jordan Marshall With that logic then all head strikes should be banned. Just getting hit in the head IS causing permanent damage everytime. And as it accumulates throughout the fighters career, you start seeing the damage. Some are more prone than others of course. Some just get slurred speech...some get parkinsons... This is a sport where its not only your job but your responsibility to avoid damage. The whole body is a weapon and a target. with exceptions like groin areas etc... This will only evolve mma. Fighters will become more creative and better overall. Now just for fun...i take u for a guy who complains in fighting games when someone spams 1 button or 1 move. Instead you could of evolved your own game and became a better player ;)

From Savateour which occasionally usses oblee kicks in sparrings.

Breaking someone's knee and ending their career and ruining their life and the life of their friends and family is not equivalent to knocking someone out and ending the fight like a man, breaking someone's knee would be equivalent to completely ripping someone's ears off.

+achillesculaj95 Fighters can recover from that, usually they're up walking around as they list the score. I'm not gonna spoonfeed this to you so I'm just gonna put this bluntly, I don't want to see mma go through any more bs controversy for some bs reason just as we left that shit behind us.

[@TheAlmightiest]

***** False. That is not a fact and I've never heard of or met any of these people. They're surely a minority. I have nothing against Jones, though I lost some respect. It's the kick I don't approve of. Your biased point of view doesn't go inline with reality, there is nothing irrational to banning eye poking and knee kicks while saving kneebars and headkicks. If you ever had stepped into a gym or cage yourself you would've understood this.

[@TheAlmightiest]

***** Permanent Injuries are a risk in every sport. There's a difference between a permanent injury and a technique meant to cause permanent injury with so exception other than failure. But 12yearolds like you won't listen to reason so I wont bother anymore, it's a lost cause.

[@TheAlmightiest]

[@rayclam8079]

Jon Jones inspired me to put eye holes on my heavy bag so I can practise eye pokes. The oblique kick is great too, it's my favourite kick along with the groin kick.

[@alexojideagu]

Exactly, how is this any better than an eye poke or groin kick. Should be banned in UFC

[@rayclam8079]

It's debatable. I think the oblique kick should remain legal.

Wow! Reading these comments about this kick is funny to me because this kick was popular in karate and taekwondo. People said they didn't work and abandon it. Now people are using it and people are wining. Learn to defend it. Kick to the head or knee either way it is combat.

Lots of ppl say jon is a dirty fighter and I mean LOTS but he ain’t. He’s one of if not the smartest fighter in ufc history. People’s argument is those knee kicks can mess up someone’s career but jons opponents can also use those knee kicks if they want but they don’t. Jones said it best” It keeps my opponents at bay””it’s a very controversial move but if someone’s trying to give us brain damage we believe it’s an even trade off”

[@joondagoon6774]

Lol

[@TheKickboxingCommunity]

This is worse than kicking someone in the balls in my opinion, that's why it's so awesome

[@AceDonMcGun]

What truly makes this kick effecting is there's no Shuffle necessary to executed it, and by keeping your foot inverted outwards it makes it a very difficult to turn your hip which keeps you bladed to your opponent.

[@govarzelf4731]

Tried this in training And i really hurt someone. This guy became so mad that he started to rush at me with high kicks and hard stomps. After training he told me we shouldn't use kicks like these in training.

yea you definitely dont wanna throw this kick hard unless you're in a real fight. It can seriously injure someone.

You can defend against this with a simple muay thai check (lift your front leg up a few inches).

[@nicklombardi2772]

You've obviously never been in a real fight before. You're smashing bone against bone man. You're not going to come out unharmed

[@arandompersonlol1202]

During Muay Thai sparring, I always use this kick with a front leg side kick or the way Jon uses it, with his right leg from an orthodox stance. And trust me, I've gotten really good with this kick and no one has ever been able to check mine. You just slip in and out. Trust me, if you receive one of these during sparring or in a real fight, you won't see it coming if it is a skilled person throwing it.

[@theboltthrower8661]

Kaizen Life ...why don´t you show us doing it succesfully in one of your fights, oh I forgot, you´ve got none XD

[@Patkilla7558]

Move it up a few inches, and you might end up with a dislocated knee, depending on how the kick is thrown.

[@brunonator]

A lot of people (including Joe Rogan) make the comparison of the oblique kick to a knee bar/heel hook. Well the difference is knee bar/heel hook may give you enough time to tap and avoid permanent damage, the oblique kick will give you permanent damage with no option.

Don't go inventing hot water - this is savate kick called "chasse bas", Jones should have given a credit where credit is due.

[@wrathVchild]

+Srdjan Teofilovic This kick exists in every martial art that allows kicking to the legs. So I guess, hear your own advice about inventing hot water.

[@scottnoricsson2023]

and you are absolutely positive - bear in mind that presupposes that you possess the knowledge of every martial art that has existed since the dawn of mankind? In karate, hmm, no. In taekwondo, nope. In Muay Thai, no. In kung fu, perhaps as there are zilllion styles. In Savate, definitely, documented since 1836.

[@36424567254]

+Srdjan Teofilovic yeah, because as we all know in karate and taekwondo competitions you can kick the legs...oh wait you can't (except kyoukushin rules ofc). In fact this kick is simply does exist in karate, for example (by the way there are possibly as many karate styles as kung-fu ones, though it&#39;s true that they usually share a common base.) Truth is, human body is capable of limited movements, specially if we&#39;re talking kicks, and we&#39;ve had thousands of years to come up with basically all of them, so this whole argument is basically pointless...probably all standup martial arts actually have this kick, just like for any other move you might come up with. However since time is limited every style focuses on some moves at the expense of others, so in my opinion the only logical thing would be to &quot;credit&quot; a move (if at all) to the art that focuses on it the most. And in this case, it&#39;s probably wing chun (and partly JKD which draws a lot from it) where it&#39;s possibly the most common kick. Now i don&#39;t know savate well enough to be sure, but i don&#39;t recall this being their bread and butter, go-to kick, correct me if i&#39;m wrong here. Ofc if we&#39;re talking fighting sports, most don&#39;t teach it, for the simple reason that it&#39;s not legal in most international rulesets and a top level competitor has no time for banned moves. Hell, even in judo tecniques not allowed in olympic style sparring (there are some, yes) are barely practiced if at all, often enough - and don&#39;t let me get started on olympic taekwondo which probably uses 5% of what&#39;s actually in taekwondo (yes it does have punches, a huge lot of open hand strikes...EVEN knees and elbows because people are not stupid ofc they know they can hit with them).

[@Reimastered]

I’ve never heard someone more retarded. The intention of this kick is to cause long term damage to win a short term fight. If you don’t tap to a knee bar, that’s your fault. If you get rocked and get your knee fucked, there’s nothing. You can do about it.

Zoe people get knees to the face head kicked beat on the ground and your complaining about a fucking knee stomp so should leg kicks be banned cause they can fuck your knee up

You guys call it mix martial arts but you have rules that ban other martial arts move it it's effective that don't say mix martial arts say western combat sport then ......

[@lowlowseesee]

nah, its a mixed martial art. the banning is imperative to maintain safety. that doesnt negate that its mixed at all

[@ChannelLogic]

How this mix martial art when almost every one just using bjj mt and box and lots of moves are ban..... It's just a sport created by the western country for entertainment rather then just boring boxing all day long so there's some other form but when people really put in those martial art that can really harm another person like those you learn in the army then it's ban ...... I'm in the army not us that's what they taught it's ment to harm the opponent that's the purpose... It's no longer a combat art when there's rule just a sport change the name to western combat sport......

[@lowlowseesee]

2323kisame i am aware that moves are banned. also fighters use boxing, judo, muay thai, karate, tkd, catch wrestling, bjj, and more in mma so your claim of bjj mt etc is faulty. however, again, in mma, several martial arts are used as i just listed.... they are mixed together. there is no getting around that. i know you find it hard because you have some bias to the army and dont like that MMA is new and you are stuck in the past with your dogmatic ideas. whatever. banned moves dont negate the fact that mma is sport that involves combatants who MIX different forms of martial arts. sorry man, time to face reality. there are millions of people that know MMA is actually a martial arts and a delivery system and a sport and a combat art. simple facts man. those are not mutually exclusive, MMA is all those things.

[@ChannelLogic]

theres other guys in the army who work along side with me who also join mma on thier free time notting wrong with that time to time we would have friendly spar of course there has to have rules because its just a friendly match among friends just for fun but we dont just use those wonderful arts you mention of course its a great art but we use other arts too that we dont see being use in mma for example silat wing chun jkd taichi krav maga savate and many other more arts most of the if its truely mix martial arts then no rules and all arts should be allow as it is a paid fight not a friendly match between friends your paid to beat another person thats your job using mix martial arts ....

[@lowlowseesee]

2323kisame you still havent shown where mma is not considered mixed just because there are arts that exist that you dont see. if you choose, and obviously you do, to believe that mma is not mixed because we dont see ninjitsu or silat etc thats fine. but again if you want to adhere to reality, the reality is that combatants are using a mixture of many martial arts in the cage. Your argument keeps moving because its baseless. for instance, it has moved from mma has rules so it cant be mixed, then you moved it to the idea that because there are some arts missing that its not mixed. thats not reasonable at all. i wonder where your real bias rest. are you one of these guys who are obsessed with traditional martial arts or something?

[@wlg2677]

Actually hitting the knee is not that painful if you hit with the sole of the foot and if you don´t do it constantly. It doesn´t hurt at all if you are wearing foot wear. This is considered indeed a dirt move in MMA but you can translate it to a self defense scenario.

[@markus808808]

+Chris Griffin Try both kicks in front of the mirror and look how your body is positioned before and after the kick and how much time it takes to get back to your stance. I think oblique kick leaves you with much more control of the position, you are not owercommiting with this kick + it's decieving. Basically you shouldn't be turning your back towards your opponent. I'd rush in if youd kick me with your front leg.

Alex Struk I promise you brain damage does not "take a long time to accumulate" it can be given to you quite easily if there aren't trained doctors around to check up on you after being knocked out. did you not see what happened to blackwell after fighting eubank jr. that was all done using upper cuts. I'd rather a knee injury straight away than brain damage

[@euphoria9315]

Alex Struk so in other words punches and kicks to the head are worse so I'm not sure why people are complaining about oblique kicks

[@euphoria9315]

Alex Struk what do you mean I haven't provided evidence. shut the fuck up about it causes damage. elbows to the head cause brain damage. wtf are you on about talking about long term. you can get brain damage from one kick to the face or even worse you can die. so if you're in a sport where you can die from a hit to the head then a knee injury seems tame. you might as well ban elbows and kicks while you're at it
