Watch and learn 👀📚 How to KICK like the GOAT of Muay Thai 101 🐐

[@RM-dq9ne]

My mind says yes, my hip rotation however firmly disagrees

[@NoaVanSnick]

My lower back too

[@tylerrichlen3286]

Means you aren't pivoting when you kick. If your coach isn't spotting that and getting you to work on it, get another gym.

[@kajetanlolek5309]

​@@tylerrichlen3286 you have no idea what poor hip mobility can do

[@tylerrichlen3286]

@@kajetanlolek5309 If I can train old dudes off the couch to kick correctly, you can work on proper technique and up your mobility. Short of a body abnormality or catastrophic injury, you can definitely turn over your kick properly. Will you ever be a head kick king? Probably not. But you can certainly save your knees and hips by learning to turn over and pivot. Its not just a better kick, it saves the rest of your joints. Seriously, if you don't have a coach that can help you with this, get a new coach.

[@Jestman22]

@@kajetanlolek5309 That’s why you work on it to stretch the inner rotation to gain more hip mobility so, with constant training than yeah, you can get good hip mobility. Do the work and you’ll get there.

To me that's one of the more interesting things about pereria, his vertical kicks

[@Joey_P_]

He was the first person I thought of

[@pedrodutra4088]

His is not about power, it’s about not telegraphing it.

[@__________o____________]

Fighting evolves

[@Ben-xf7uy]

Its so hard to tell where Saenchai is putting that kick.... Smooth as butter

[@kuzushi_kev]

I remember Bas Ruten making this same point and what he was saying is kicking in an upward trajectory like Senchae is advising against is dangerous for you because your shin bone is like a yard stick.. it’s flat on the inner part of the leg. So the risk of your breaking your shin bone is much higher if you are hitting the side of the yardstick. By rotating your hips over, you strike with the edge of the yardstick, and avoid damage.

[@i.c.wiener2750]

Yea, you also have no power kicking upward. On the other hand the "new" kicking meta of the UFC are the "wrong" kicks you are talking about because you can throw them without much telegraphing. And the stance of MMA doesn't really allow for quick kick blocks like in Muay Thai.

[@ScaredycatG]

So glad to see him teaching that the lower shin and foot is strong. I train at two clubs and at one of them, whenever I do a roundhouse, they tell me it’s wrong and should be higher on the shin. I agree with that, only if you’re close. If you’re at range, this is the perfect technique.

[@vinnyfalzarano4911]

Preferences/pros and cons. The ankle is dangerous because slight movement and you hit all foot. Could go bad. Also if you hit mid/low shin instead of low shin/ankle you can do more upright kicks to legs/body that don't turn over as much and still connect hard (ex-liam Harrison). Learn both and learn why and when

[@bluemrgeniuss]

It's all about range. Both work..

[@DellaDykeborn]

He is also comparing hitting with the side of foot with the true joint

[@yo_izzyyougottachill7074]

My boy just told me to kick with my feet upwards. I think everybody just based their preference on what’s right or wrong cus I was conditioning my shins I started to feel comfortable throwing kicks in that area ( I’m not even a Muay Thai fighter I just truly enjoy the sport and practice some of it)

[@DickDickerson01]

"This. No power. This. Power!"😂

[@siyeducation]

Amazing! So accurate and powerful!

[@mauricelangley5033]

The area he pointed out, where the foot connects with the distal part of the lower leg... Hurts super bad when you kick a shin or anything solid!

[@parob7285]

i agree. it is a very vulnerable part of your leg. why not shin I ask? it is more solid

[@m3dodiab05]

Agree. Bad teaching.

[@Autonamatonamaton]

The guy's a technician, he's not just blasting randomly with his shin. If he's aiming for a thigh or a rib with his instep, it's because he's sighted the target and knows it won't get checked. Kicks with that part are also longer range and a bit quicker than a shin impact. There are many different types of muay Thai fighters, not all of them do things the exact same way

[@J_a_k_e_]

You condition it to be denser over time. It's the ideal point of contact to deliver the most impact.

[@JW-Handle]

It's like hitting with a stick: long one has more leverage and thus impact than a short one. But yes, you gotta time and place it well, kicking a shin or elbow will hurt a lot 😅

[@Slickdown]

"Sorry i dont understand, can you show again one more time please"😂

[@ismesheverone7653]

@@aaronamour6101have you taken Alex’s kick’s before I guess?

[@aaronamour6101]

@@ismesheverone7653 Of course. I beat his ass in sparring every day. Jokes aside though, I don't think my statement is even controversial. Pereira clearly doesn't kick with a lot of force, but manages to remain deadly with his leg kicks by hitting the same spot over and over again and being super quick with those kicks. Also, he has basically no telegraph on them.

[@rmwilliams8193]

A good way to “feel it” is to picture you shoulder and knee going through your target. Also do not lean back too much or your hip won’t, actually can’t roll over. Stay upright on your kick, don’t lean back.

[@theTrend7]

I hope someone hugged the guy taking those kicks later😂

[@jimmyh8228]

Obviously his technique is amazing and the angle of the kick is perfect etc, but I was taught in Muay Thai, and I’ve experienced that landing a kick at the junction between foot and shin can really hurt and over extend the ankle unless it’s a head or body shot, I was taught to connect slightly above the ankle, bottom of shin, whenever throwing a mid /low kick, if the opponent checks your kick and it’s the point where the foot meets the shin, it’s gonna hurt! Obviously the protective gear helps, and A LOT of conditioning! Not questioning the master, just saying ha
