How to Swing Your Arms w/ Roundhouse Kicks 

Just tried this. Such a huge difference.

This video has the perfect length. Not too long, not too short, just the perfect time, down to the second

If you could make a video on muay thai repeat kicks that would awesome!!

nice tips shane. this tips work when you already get the right mechanics of the lower body (waist, hip, and foot). really adds power to the kick

Thai fighters have the best round house kicks 🔥

Appreciate this video a lot. Ive been working on my roundhouse kicks & trying to unlock the mechanics to get the motion in naturally has been a bit of a challenge but Im improving with practice. Do you think you can make a video for improving lead roundhouse kicks & the muay thai consecutive kicks with the same leg like they do on the pads. Would be dope!

Thank God for you Shane! I've always felt weird with my arms when doing this.🙏🏾

I love the straight forward explaination. It really improved my kicks. The same arm motion is incorperated in the basic move of capoeira, the jinga. Now i know why.

Just what I needed, thanks bro!

Really helpful video, I had this motion flowing before, but after I injured my ankle I lost my muscle memory for powerful roundhousekicks, but this video seems to get me back to even more powerfull kicks

Thank u so much, lol this is just what I needed and what do u know I get a notification for this vid 😂

Shane Great Technique!

Thank's again for more great tips. I was taught the American kickboxing way, and I love the extra power I get by swinging the arms. keep them coming, and I'll keep getting better.

Nice I was practicing a lot on my kicks lately this is what I needed👌🏼

I usually keep the other hand glued to my head

Great video man!!! Im not sure if you have done a video of the best taekwondo kicks for mma but that would be a sick video!!!!! Keep the videos coming they are extremely beneficial to up and coming fighters!!!!!!

Hey Shane I love you videos I have been doing boxing for a half a year and watching your videos has given me an interest in muay thai. Lucky for me the muay thai gym is shared with my boxing gym and I was thinking of trying it out in early July or late April. My problem is I am going to have to tell my coach that I will be gone for a while but for some reason I feel guilty even though my coach has not put any pressure on me. Thanks man I love your videos they really help me out!

This is an awesome tip man. To many people don’t do it and don’t harness the power that they really have. I’m having some trouble with the switch kick and also the opposite (southpaw) kick Both just feel wrong. Could you possibly do a video to help out with that man or give me some tips on that :). Love your work brother

I tend to like smaller circles with the dropping hand (just beneath the other arm instead all the way to the waist) so I don't open up my face too much, but the principle is really well explained either way

Thanks Shane. This was the reason I couldnt get proper rotation in my kicks 🙌🏾

Thank you, I really appreciate this

Whoaaaaa I didn't know those details! I'm going to put them into practice today! THANKS Shane!

This guy is a amazing teacher

Thank you for the tips, you are a true life saver... I love the videos. Keep 'em up.❤🙌🙏

Will try this!

Shane is the men!!

I love using this technique momentarily blocking my opponents vision 😻👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

When are you gonna restock on the hybrid gloves?

Thanks as always for the tips :)

Thank you Shane this video helped SO MUCH!

Nice explanation of the technique Great training!!

Pause at 1:34 - Shane confirmed member of the Aryan brotherhood

Nice video Shane! Very helpful. 👍

Excellent technique

Great video it helped me a lot thnx!👍😊☺

Great Video

I have a question; I’m interested in joining a Muay Thai gym, but I’m 21 years old. Is that too old to start training? Especially if I want to eventually compete in fights?

Hi Shane. Talking about your great video Spinning Backfist, I have some questions: 1) Have you ever heard about Spinning Knuckle? Does it exist? 2) If so, is it the same punch of Spinning backfist? Thanks for any explanation.

What do you think about hair combing technique?

Great video, lots of details and great points as usual!!! Can you do a video on unattached knee strikes and those hand/ guard positions It seems like it should be similar but I have always had trouble landing, middle range knee strikes. Or where the heck my hands should be, always feels off balance. Longer distance jumping knees, never been a problem and kicks from the same distance, are my bread and butter. For some reason those knees never seem to land, unless I'm attached or countering. Thanks

Here's another possibility: Years ago, I used to study Hapkido, which also includes a fair amount of Korean-style kicking. Towards the end of my training, after I'd been kicking for years, they advised me to adopt an unorthodox technique to suit my frame (I'm 6'1" and long in the torso): holding my rear hand OUT for balance. It seemed to work, but what do you have to say?

This is a great vid! I love roundhouse kicks, so I always aim to improve the technique. Keep it up, Shane! Any news on when your double end bag will be up for sale again?

Actually, throwing a hard round house kick can be quite an effective defense as well. ;)

You could swing one arm with one guarding whilst slipping?

Shane pleaaase do a tutorial with the Tapp Brothers. I love you anyways

Hey shane please make a video on combinations of mma and muay thai style and teach us some awesome variations on a heavy bag

Dude, your level of mobility is god damn high XD

Hey dude. I just found you're channel and I already love it. A lot of really good tips and advice. I've been watching you're street fight vids mostly. Let me explain the situation. I'm not a strong or fast guy, hell I'm not even much of a fighter. But recently people I've been having issues with for years are starting to get really aggressive and hostile. A few of them actually jumped my brother yesterday and kicked his ass. I know I don't have much of a better chance at kicking their ass but I want to be ready. Do you( or anyone else) have any tips for when you're jumped or otherwise ambushed? And any tips for defense against a group of attackers? They usually gang up with 2 or three people. Thanks in advance and thanks for posting great content. Stay safe and fight strong.

Good editing

thank you

I'm good at kicking. Thanks for the video.

Needed this🙌

Perfect

NAH DOG I POST THE HAND 4 LIFE!!!

thanks man

If you were to recommend the top 5 videos from you that would help me out in a friendly backyard boxing match, which would you pick?

When showing the power difference between swinging arms and not, you do two different kicks, the swing variant is a proper roundhouse kick with hip leading all the way, the high guard variant is a snappy round kick with very little hip behindi t. So the comparison is not fair. You can swing the hip as far with highguard too so do that when comparing power, so it is the same type of kick and fairly comparable by being able to discern if you can accelerate the hip more with the swinging motion and hence get a stronger kick.

Text book explaining. 👏

Great

hi ! i took care of 5 puppies this winter and recently i have found homes for each of them. and i miss them a little :') . but im ok dont worry. also i know that for my punches to be faster i need to let my hand loose and at the impact to tense the fists, but im struggling with this when i dont wear gloves. With bare fists i feel like i cant close my hands as good as if when i keep them close all the time and also the skin below my fingernails fells kind of weird. any suggestions ?

Tj dillashaw showed a good round house with arm guard

Hey Shane if you get this I wanted to tell you I might not be able to make it to the seminar do to some personal family complications ok. Just thought you should know. Ps nice video

I would argue that swinging your arm doesn't actually generate more power, it just acts as a counter balance.

Miss the old videos of Shane, seems like he is going to a different direction nowadays

O segredo para qualquer golpe de arte marcial seria a flexibilidade?

question mark kick next please

Your opinion on gsp retirement CX?

Hey Shane I wanna travel the world to learn martial arts where do I start

I was always taught in karate to keep your arms close to your body as possible and to not move them while performing the kick.

Can you make a video how to switch your feet when you want to kick

Based on the image of this video I thought this video was going to be about how the pimp slap somebody lmao

Shane how do you fight someone who backs up the whole time

Do you have any advice for this like I can kick but I can't follow through after I hit the opponent

Shit advice... Now they won't let me fight anymore because I shot my opponent

I think of the arm swing as an extension of the shoulders. Sylvie Von Duuglas-Ittu wrote an article detailing the turn of the shoulders particularly for the leg kick. I incorporated this into my own technique and saw great improvement in the kick overall. Turning your rear shoulder forward helps achieve the arm positioning that Shane talks about in this. It may work for some and for others it may not. More so than anything, relaxation is key! The technique will be poor if you're tense

I've always just held up my guard, maybe I'll look into using the whip and shoot thing

How heavy is that bag?

Kidney punches can you show how to do those

Shane i have comoetition for 2 days and i need to cut 1 kg how can i do that

Which tkd did you train? Itf or wtf?

I think I'm doing it wrong, my roundhouses seem only a little bit more powerful, not much of a difference at all, maybe it has something to do with weight groups, could a heavy weight (or by Muay Thai weight divisions super heavyweight) tell me how it felt to them?

It weird how I've always been doing this while throwing roundhouse kicks, but never noticed it. Even mma coaches when they taught me how to throw a roundhouse, never told me about the arm swing

I won a karate tournament yestarday first position (shitoryu style)

Niiiiiiiice

insaaaaane

Is it just me or whenever I hold pads for MMA(I’m new to MMA been training Boxing for 2 Years) ... I Always Freeze up and get confused for which hands I should hold up for my partner, and for a few second I stand there, frozen and discombobulated! Help!!!!

The swing should be only used if the opponent is stunned or he’s on guard because this kick is quite slow and can be countered by a push kick, side kick and back kick. Every technique has pros and cons right. Peace ✌🏻

Shane can u make a vid on how to recover from kicking your partner's elbow by error? This is every kicker's worst nightmare

MILLY ROCK ON THIER GRAVES

Unholster cowboy gun with left, and salute Germany with the right. Got it.

How to fight like rigondaux

Is this specific for Muay Thai or also for TaeKwonDo and other kicking martial arts?

How to milly rock

Don't step when you throw the kick. You telegraph it's coming, same with swinging arm across your face before you throw

Could someone help me learn boxing?

The same technique I use for throwing a knee

I prefer dock leaves instead of news paper

I just disappear like Goku when I throw my kicks their head explodes because I go Quintillion x faster than light.
