I like how his partner keeps on nodding all the time 🤣

[@Die7Ringe]

Top excellent tutorial! After more than 20 years of ITF TKD and even been trained by a World Champion , this tutorial is an eye opener!!!!

[@AdamDG97]

Carl Van Roon is just fantastic, hope to see more from him soon!

[@jubilkalunxag5588]

i am a wtf taekwondo and i tried this kind of side kick technique, and i made it so adoptable. very useful even in other tkd style. love you video GNT.

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Awesome. I've got lots of great friends in WT / WTF :D

[@Lightious2]

Thank you Carl. Thanks to you i have developed my side kick to be instant. Since the release of this video i tend to come here time to time to rehearse. Gold content as always and really wished you could upload more often

[@ninocc5896]

Finally, the best video fo sidekick, especially the chambering, helps a lot. Thanks

[@Tkd-Al]

Iv'e searched KZbin high and low for a Sidekick tutorial, and this is by far the most comprehensive

[@magdadopieraa7868]

Those tutorials with Van Roon are so great, very precise, lots of explanation and presentation from different angles. This guy who is taking part in those videos with him is so cute:)

[@rudolphsimmonds1382]

One of the best tutorials that I have seen on KZbin. You break everything down nicely. more than I've seen others. Keep up the good work. SUBSCRIBED

[@andrewlaw8121]

This is the best side kick video on the internet hands down! More please Mr Van Roon! Next vid- reading side kicks and countering would be great!

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Andrew Law thank you very much. More content coming soon

[@craigparrott828]

Wow simple and effective going to work on this

[@JoaquinArguelles]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@animated000]

Awesome tutorial!!!

[@nigelcharles3872]

Good stuff Mr Van Roon look forward to seeing you in Scotland in May. Mr Charles.

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Nigel Charles see you soon!

[@grayalun]

My ITF Taekwondo instructor trained Muay Thai for about 18 months I think but the club he was training at had the instructor up and leave with no warning and he didn't start up elsewhere. I digress, he said when he'd spar the pure Thai fighters found the sidekick hard to deal with which was interesting as a lot of MMA guys neglect it. I've seen aTeicia Torres use it a lot and Connor Mcgregor uses it to the leg a lot very effective if done right.

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Yup it definitely has strengths and weaknesses! Like most things I think if you're not familiar with it you tend to be a bit slow in processing it as a threat. You know?

[@grayalun]

@@VanRoonMartialArts Definitely, you get new people sometimes at Taekwondo and as you've been so used to sparring the same people it takes some adjustment at times if they are unorthodox.

[@jun5836]

Wonderboy!

[@mypathtobecomeapilot]

I really like how you explain the rear foot positioning. My son was having some difficulty with the slide.

[@taekwondoheroz3969]

Awesome video, and great information. I will use and study this information and apply it to my sparring!

[@karatekid1252]

Amazing explanation!

[@jlongi9742]

Sidekick technique is explained well here. Comparing it to a jab is a great analogy. Keeps distance between you the opponent a measure if you will. It is all a great set up kick for a quick front round. Or a front round and then sneak that side kick in. And of course nothing beats stopping your opponent in their tracks when using it defensively. Great video, technique, and explanations.

[@kentpolcyn1670]

Great video. Very useful techniques. Keep these videos coming.

[@Ninjashadoww]

Amazing tutorial!

[@PauloTkd]

Great explanation about the side kick. Greetings from Brazil 💪🏻

[@NeoGeoNinja81]

Been out of the 'game' since 2003 now but still love learning the science of all this stuff. Harry is shaping up to be quite the protégé 👍🏼

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Harry is doing great!

[@vladislavyurkov9221]

Very nice explanation, thank you! I'll try some of this technique in my wtf-sparring!:)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked it and enjoy 😁

[@jvenkatraman4]

I liked your tutorial videos specially the parts where you explained in depth the don'ts of this kick. Just by looking at some 1 minute tutorial video it is hard to follow the minute details but you told what happens when you do it the wrong (undesirable) way. Thank you for that.

[@evolvetkd8957]

Always great!

[@dougboal7620]

Beautiful kicks. Many years ago, we learned in TKD in side stances to have the knees closer to a horserider stance. It was used more for self defense by "standing your ground" and more emphasis on blocking and hand strikes. When doing the sidekick the leg locked out upon contact. It shows how things change over time.

[@mikeboosh8776]

Can we just have a moment's appreciation for how good that blue belt lad's kicks are? For a low level belt, he's pretty impressive.

[@MassAmorphous]

This is gold. 🙌🙌🙌

[@willienillie6337]

Omg I was watching your previous video on side kick and you uploaded a, new one Thank you so much 😊

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Cool. There is an updated version of how to do the side kick as well and this one is more about explaining it for sparring 😁

[@ItzZaynu]

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

We appreciate you saying that. Thank you 🙏

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Thank you!

[@AsianMaryEvans]

Watching!!!

[@HeadCannonPrime]

I have won SO MANY tournaments with this concept in the early belts. Until you get up to red belt or black belt and everyone knows this. Our dojo practices these slide side kicks ad nauseum pre-tournament.

[@gazza363]

very informative

[@ORTIZ17113]

This side kick is my favorite to do. The sliding/shifting side kick to me is one of the most effective versions of the kick. Great stuff guys, keep it up 🤗

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm with you on that one 😁

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Thank you Jay :D

[@gcon.807]

jay ortiz, it’s also the most powerful version of the sidekick, probably the most powerful kick if you throw it right.

[@edgar22452]

It's a nasty fucking kick mate. U get caught in the ribs or face it's game over lol.

[@anthonyrussomano7015]

Ur amazing sir

[@marcelinhotkd]

Nice!! 💯🥋🥋🥋

[@darrelmorgan1509]

Gonna try this in class

[@SuperSaiyanX-0014]

GNT, just so you know, your technique is my ultimate goal. I'm 35, and going for my Red Belt next week (Taekwondo). But even though I'm ready for my test, I'm nowhere near the level in which you are at.

[@megabradchad8721]

Did you do it?

[@joelweber3462]

Excellent tutorial! Comment: it appears your double slide side kick is really, one longer slide with a barely perceptible foot shift at end. We often practice multiple slides, but in reality it seems to only be one long slide with a front foot fake leading to a final elongated kick (where planted foot makes a tiny hop or rotation to gain another 2 inches...)

[@amad1985]

More please!

[@MartialArtsPower]

Great good job side kick amazing power people teakwondo very powerful kicking side everyone learn more

The importance of no telegraphic moves. Just the sidekick and so much to learn. Thank you very much.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

[@danielquinn312]

Nice video tutorial.

[@raffizzzfonk6588]

Bonjour, très intéressante cette technique, une distance intermédiaire, un coup assez puissant , à mettre en pratique. Thanks

[@super_cyb0rg226]

At my school, we practice a full step behind without the skip. Makes our footwork much faster when practically applied.

[@apostoloskelepouris3957]

Great video! It's amazing how much has been covered in a single video about the side kick. In 9:15 you mentioned groin tightness and people kicking with a bent knee. You see many beginner martial artists kicking like this and sometimes even more advanced ones do the same. Is it just because of stiffness and lack of flexibility or because they learned to kick the wrong way and retained this " bad habit" of kicking with an inverted knee? It would be interesting to see a video on how to fix this!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

It can be either or both. Best fix is to go over the form slow holding onto a wall. This will help understand the mechanics and If you can't physically do the motion then you need to work on loosening up and become more flexible in the areas you will need.

[@Lightious2]

Todays training was about this. The prediction is real 10/10

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

😂 Cool 😁

[@TheMarevegwa]

Glad I came here

[@twistedbliss4398]

Very skilled red stripe you got there.

[@edgar22452]

I'm a shotokan practioner. I used this kick against several people in sparring. I highly recommend this version of the kick. It's faster than the slide up sidekick.

[@manelikbalcacer113]

[@abod_yt1063]

thanks for the

This is a really good and helpful video. As I’m looking to improve in my sparring, this is perfect. Working on my flexibility since I naturally tense up, (that tension has also been an annoyance in my drumming haha). Any ideas on how to get a natural transition between techniques? (training to reach a flow state if you will) PS: I did rank up to Green Belt! 😊😊😊

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

Congratulations. I think most of these things naturally come with more drilling!

[@jaypeve]

Good video, have you ever done or consider doing a seminar it would be great if you could come teach and train with us here at Odessa Texas

[@ehisey]

Ye old sliding side kick.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

:D

[@yeshuaservant7]

I was having a little trouble following your words--due mainly to to you speaking somewhat fast. What is I T stylist? IF I heard you correctly? Good video and verbal explanation of kicking issues. Good channel content.

ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) as opposed to World Taekwon-Do Federation. One of the two major branches of Taekwon-Do by which the art is generally divided around the world. Thank you

Very good technique in this video, please show how to do an axe kick with good technique.

[@neffetssaibot]

Did you ever thought about publishing a video about TKD patterns? You show so many cool and helpful videos about sparring, kicking, jumping, etc. However TKD also consists of basic techniques and performing patterns. It would be awesome seeing you performing some higher grade patterns and also tell people a bit about them. Every TKD black-belt spend huge efforts in practicing and to perfect their patterns and its a bit of a pity that many people think that TKD is only about fancy jumping kicks and sparring. (Just some thoughts of a 1st degree ITF Black-Belt...)

[@yuvaprajwal1473]

Can we do splits(stretching) after strengthening exercises

[@noronha1693]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@porscheninesixeight]

Love this but one also has to remember Bruce also had to exaggerate movements to look good on camera for his films. In actual jkd his movements and leg span were small. I'm sure you obviously know this but just wanted to clarify this point for anyone who may not understand the difference in actual and film. :D

[@VanRoonMartialArts]

porscheninesixeight good point! Totally agree

[@Hansome1877]

I use this kick a lot and I the way I execute it is by stepping with my back leg be cause my legs are short so it’s faster for me .

What’s your thoughts on Joe Rogans side kick and all around Taekwondo skill set?

Cool 😁

Bro plzzz share me link from where u have bought sword in sword training video I m from india and I m ur big fan

[@FantasmaDoMato]

Hey very nice video! I was thinking on the way wich Joe Rogan does the sidekick (in a stand position, he lift his knee and do some kind of twist with his torso). I understand that The technich shown on this video is quicker, but do you think that joe's version is more powerfull?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

There are different techniques for the side kick, some mentioned in this video, that have advantages and disadvantages. If you want more power and pull back or rely on more movement first you will sacrifice speed.

[@elite_eli7521]

Hey GNT do you have any footage of you fighting in tortaments?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I did have but now I only have a few pictures :( I had loads on my old acer laptop and the hard drive got corrupted. I lost everything. I don't like mentioning it as I know it sounds like bull 😂 But people that know me in ITF and kickboxing know that I used to compete regularly.

paladin ellsworth Hearing that I was having a child and a few months before Sophia was born, I was getting popular on KZbin and didn’t like the pressure of turning up and everyone expecting me to win. I didn’t enjoy it and wouldn’t spar with the freedom that I usually did.

I don't even can get my foot about my belt. I am not flexible enough. But that tutorial is great. You still can get so much force into that kick. Since I am right handed, but left footed I normally have my power leg (the left one) in front and I can much faster kick and surprise my opponent that way
