5 Variations of (Round) Low Kicks 

Then set them up. Don't just kick after a combination or for the sake of kicking. Set them up with hands, change the level of your kicks to keep the opponent guessing. As in go to the body until you make them believe the next kick is going to the body, then chop away at the leg. Break the rhythm of your kicks too so as soon as you're about to throw the kick & you see the opponent is ready to check it, keep the kick chambered or stall the kick a bit until the opponent puts his/her leg back down then right as they put that weight back down on their leg, kick the hell out of it. Use feints & get your opponent off balance, then kick while they're trying to regain that balance. There's so many ways to land a kick you just have to get creative. Good luck & have fun!

John Y Low kicks are too easy for me to set up. I almost get bored of it in sparring that I end up trying other things, only to go back to low kicking without realising because it's now natural for me. I'm guessing you haven't been training for that long. The most important this is to set them up with punches. Throwing the kick without delay immediately after landing a left hook or as they back away. Observe your opponent's stance: Are they even ready to check low kicks? Are they heavy or light on their lead leg? Are they standing square or in a sideways stance? If your opponent loves to check kicks, fake the low kick before landing punches and finish with the kick again. Also, when you're opponent commits to throwing a punch, they have all their weight on the lead leg, unless they are floating in the air lol. And when all their weight is on their lead leg, it's impossible to check the kick. To summarize: - Punches first. The left hook especially. - As they are punching they can't check low kicks. - Trick them if they like to check kicks, and then throw the kick. - If you block their kick, immediately counter with low kick.

Kick with instep bro, it will stomp down shin check

use sin gurds

That is funny...that was a shocking moment of ouch

☠

Yeah who are these mysterious people who say inside leg kicks don't work? That shit hurts dude

Ethan To there’s something mentally draining about it too because it doesn’t look or connect like a devastating head or body kick so it feels like it hurts waayyy more than it should.

My left kick is too weak to make it hurt, but definitely works as a nuisance, and my pendulum step doesn't have too much power.

Me too

Same here

waterlegend72 No offense to Shane at all, but Joe Rogan has MMA champions and their specialist coaches on the podcast along with renowned Physicists/Physicians followed by Navy Seals and CEO’s. Shane is not going to be remotely interesting enough at this point in his life for a 3 hour podcast. Good video tho, most of these are for casual fans and people who do not train regularly.

@@JohnsArchipelago ya that's when I started watching these I was just a casual trying to figure out all my Thai kicks.

@@JohnsArchipelago if he can become possibly a coach and start to become a coach for mma fighters then to champs its possible but for now no

John Yi that’s not true, dickhead. Joe had on a sort of but not really well known ufc fighter named suga Sean and he was being as hell. He hS barely accomplished anything in his career and is suspended for cheating.

Jeez Freedom.. Why the salt? =D Shane on JRE would be awesome! i think that Joe has a pretty long queue tho...

@Leroy Jenkins is that Bubba Jenkins??! =D

@Leroy Jenkins LoL sorry there's an MMA fighter that appears on the channel called Bubba Jenkins that appears on this channel sometimes; thought it might be you LOL! xD

You're damn right about leg kicks tho.

That's the 3rd comment I've seen about this fight. I need to go watch the replay!

Hooker said he was invincible. Lol

GSP vs Koschek is also a good example of the inside low kick

@@robertrobertson8575 Barboza Vs Pettis and Tyrone Along Vs Angel De Anda are the best examples. Along with Thiago Silva Vs Jared Torgenson.

I actually didn't get to see it yet -- but I heard it was awesome!

fightTIPS you should’ve seen the speed and reaction time of that flying knee knockout

@@user-qv1cs3xo4p flying knee? His last fight he won with a bodyshot

That was such a great fight! I was afraid Barboza was done - not! His leg kicks were amazing. After watching I feel like why can't I do that? Well,, I can't.

@@fighttips Dan Hooker is a solider for how long he endured.

Zach N Muay Thai also has kicks with the heels...lol

million dolla baby i’m training in france and my coach as 30 years of exp approx and teach my exactly the same way as you

Peter "The dutch lumberjack" Aerts. Kicks like this as well. like the name suspects, He uses his leg as an axe.

Seems like he was using Mr.Perfect as the baseline rather than dudes like aerts and dekkers

Of course that both ways of kicking are used by fighters some just prefer one over other. It depends on the situation, of course that Dutch fighters also use axe like kicks.

That's exactly what I was thinking

That's because most people learn striking in a McDojo. If you threw a leg kick EXACTLY like Ernesto Hoost, a lot of coaches would try to "fix" it, bc it isn't textbook. His leg swings wide, chops downward, and then snaps upward at the last second to create maximum damage. Far from textbook yet the most effective low kicker in history. He even checked kicks the "wrong" way. But it worked. That said, if your kicks are working in sparring/fights, fck em.

AA•• Magic 👅

They absolutely do damage, but you just get more momentum when you kick down. Use both; use a hybrid, even! And don't forget the importance of hitting the SAME spot over and over, to wear down on the leg.

@@fighttips thank you so much for the advice Shane! I also just wanted to say thank you for being so interactive with your fans and replying to comments to help us improve!

Of course, buddy! That's what I'm here for 🙏

Nate Lahr use them to change levels mid combination but stay in the pocket and come off the kick with punches. Your opponent will think low when you tap the leg but then gets blasted with punches right behind it.

likely

Affirm Shane :)

Easy! Slightly lift your knee and turn it inward, so they hit the top of your shin instead of your inside thigh.

Thank you!

You should try stiffining (contracting) up your ankle when shooting for kicks because what these instructors don't teach you is to not let your ankles fly loose when your kicks lands. It also helps bare pain more when landing.

Bro you’re literally in every video I watch wtf

Muay thigh kicks is how you break your leg. so much telegraph

High chance to hurt your own shin or foot. Check out Dieselnoi, he blocks low kicks with a knee right into their shin.

Isn't that a core principle for all roundhouse kicks? At least that's what I was taught.

@@Elmy_Kiu I was taught this way, it was a "trick" my master taught to have better kicks, I've never seen somebody out of my club do it, I've always seen people "chopping" at the leg. Where did you learn it?

​@@snakeoveer1046 I learned it from TKD. Basically, I was told that if I wanted to hit someone at the right temple, for instance, I should aim for the left temple instead, so that I would never fully extend it beforehand. Despite that, there were lots of people in that club/school that always extended it right before or when they made contact.

@@Elmy_Kiu seems like we know a secret kicking technique

@@snakeoveer1046 I'm not sure about how secret it really is but it's effective for sure.

Precision with power beats everything

Works but incredibly risky, all they would have to do is get in a checking motion and you’d probably break your shin connecting with the bent knee bone
