Flat-Footed or On Toes When Kicking?

Should you stay flat-footed or rise up to the ball of your foot when throwing kicks? The answer is, per usual: "it depends!" There are always exceptions to the rule, but being flat-footed is better for balance and support, while being "on the toes" is good for pivoting and agility. Remember that pivoting the support foot is done not only to assist in rotating the hips, but to also prevent tension within the knee joint.
FLAT-FOOTED: Linear kicks (side kicks, teeps, etc.), low kicks, & checking kicks
BALL OF FOOT: High roundhouse kicks, spinning (w)heel kicks, long knee strikes

@jeff knox İt's traditional martial art that includes Brazilian Jiujitsu in it. Do some research before trash commenting.

@Epicvampire800 4 года назад

@jeff knox i've seen someone's skull get cracked open from a meia lua de compasso during a roda because they didnt dodge fast enough. The dancing is just how you practice capoeira but make no mistake it is deadly.

@@Krelgarsh I think he did plenty research. Jazzercise uses jabs, kicks, and crosses. That doesn't make it kickboxing.

@Epicvampire800 4 года назад

@@dfiala9890 getting your skull cracked open with somebody else's heel is different than twisting your ankle. I use what i've learned in capoeira in mma and it certainly works. Just like every other martial art its more about the martial artist than the martial art and everything has a use case, its just a question of getting to that use case. And the what's great about capoeira is it teaches you how to pull off some badass victory dances.

Finally, someone does a video on this, and I find it pretty useful. Explaining which kick you use the pivot for and for which ones you don't is pretty good information and it helps lots of people starting their mma paths, or just their normal learning of self defense.

This clear so much for me. I always debate which is better. Some coach taught me I "Have"to keep my foot flat, which I agree that I can land more powerful kick and stronger base, but when I faint, I always found the tippy toe make me recover faster and ready to fire another one.

@RamboRichardson 4 года назад

One more exception, when teeping I'm able to go onto the ball of my foot and still deliver maximum power. It allows for a quick snap, full extension + height, quick return, and delivers more power for me.

@Teihz 4 года назад

I would say you should try to always go rise up to the ball of your foot, personally. I threw a round house during pad training, of course being fatigued my thinking and form wasn't as sharp and i threw flat footed. This made it hard to turn over the hip and i injured my support legs knee because my whole body was in the turning with the motion but my foot being flat footed didn't turn as well as it would if i was up on my toes

@hantakage9381 Год назад

NO WAY, 2 months ago I dislocated my dominant support knee as well. In literally the exact same way. This is the reason I'm at this video in the first place and its cool to see someone else who went through something similar.

@thedokkodoka4349 4 года назад

Its not necessarily just practice. I started with my homie at the same time. But he could easily hold after one year, I still can't even after 18 years. Why? Its not practice in my case, but actually my hips. Stretching only helps for your soft tissue, not for bone structure. But in most cases its certainly stretching and muscle training (systematically holding the leg in the air)!

If its a spinning kick hit heel. If push kick bottom of ur foot. Other than that u hit with the shin, not foot.

What about front snap kicks? I remember Anderson Silva was on the ball of his back foot when he landed the snap kick to Vitor Belfort’s chin. Does this add more power to a snap kick?

@futureshit-glungis7202 4 года назад

With the front snap kicks you dont have too much hip rotation, since you already stand sideways. So without the pivot you dont really have to be on your toes. But if maybe your flexibility makes it hard for you to reach the other guys head you definitely can get up on your toes. Im pretty sure i used to stand flat footed but it wasnt a conscious thing, i just did it because it worked like that for me.

@harrisfrankou2368 4 года назад

Yes

@mattball420 4 года назад

Maybe he just was just tryin hard to reach high enough and did it without thinking

@MangaGamified 4 года назад

Maybe it was unintentional, sometimes opportunity opens up when you least expect it and you're not in your stance and you just need to react now.

@pabloschultz5192 4 года назад

Well i view it like this: a push kick needs a lot of “push.” Meaning stability and power. Cause you move your opponents body. If you snap kick to head however you just need speed and probably height as well.

My left kicks has less torque since im not good enough so turnin on balls give me speed n more round motion. Also im short so my high kicks are on balls of my foot to reach higher. If im fightin with smb same height or shorter flat is what i do cause its balance. Dont forget its not a one kick ko fight usually. And u can miss. If u miss u dont wanna be in a lost balance position.
