How to Defend Front Kicks - Episode #54 

I have the same issue

Yeah! It's a great tip to just flow and if you don't throw the leg to the outside, it's not a terrible thing. Can't wait to try.

This is cool, I'm trying to learn a lot of this in karate during sparring.

I feel like a ton of beginners or even intermediate people will worry about that. I cant afford a proper gym to train at (and although Id much rather train first hand and get better advice than just videos), but it feels so much more comfortable and more versatile to just flow techniques and movement, keeping in mind a shadow boxing mindset while hitting bag or practicing a combo. Thinking of angles to make, slips and blocks, checking kicks if ur moving one way. Beginners at a gym get caught up in being still and fixed, and cant flow techniques and follow up the way Joe seems to teach, so self work and shadow boxing Imo, is very important in learning how to be comfortable with all the facets of fighting.

That's what Bruce meant with ," Empty your mind , Be Water my friend!"

I remind You what Joe said. Kickboxing, especially kicking good lowkicks is underrated in mma. peace bro.

Maciej Juchniewicz yeah brother I can even tell you just how my lowkick game has improved since I’ve been watching the Bazooka Joe vids, it’s one of my main weapons in sparring.

Hows your career so far?

Hello

Hi

SISCOBLTMR axe kick easy just use footwork move back or away,don’t want to stand there try blocking it because comes at weird angle over your head,

Ben Peng Well thanks man that explains why I keep hitting elbow with my rear teeps. I started stepping to the left to aim it more down the center without realizing why. Any more tips or links you can share on this? Thanks.

I think in general you should teep around the belly button level. Just teep right below the elbow. Your teep shouldn't touch the elbow. If it is, their guard is too low or you are teeping too high. In orthdox vs orthodox, don't step to the left. If they throw a hard cross or a hard rear roundhouse, you are walking into it's momentum. The advantage of having a better teeping angle is outweighed by the disadvantage of being in danger of the cross and rear roundhouse. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-McO1HFWSInI.html I want to go more into detail, but I think it's actually best to keep things simple. Just keep watching Bazooka Joe's channel. He is one of the greatest dutch style kickboxing teacher I have seen online. ru-vid.com/show-UC1PHbFUelme2UQ6RiJ4_laQvideos Namsaknoi is one of the greatest Lumpinee champion the world has ever seen. He went undefeated for 6 years. His youtube channel is one of the best for Muay Thai. Namsaknoi no longer uploads because his gym ran into financial problems. His entire life is full of hardship. Anyways, his youtube channel is the best for learning Muay Thai imo.

as a southpaw I feel like the lead teep works better than the rear

s95 maybe lift the front leg.

Adam yes some when it hits the chin correctly it will do damage

... but not in everyday sparring because in most gyms a teep by ones filthy foot to the face is considered a sign of being a cocky douchebag and many guys will try to drop you or make you pay for it :))

B A and so they should. No attack should go unpunished

Try pushing their foot up high and taking a step back while pulling them with you a little. So you're making them take a little hop forward as you step back and lift their foot to keep them off balance and leaning back. Then counter.
