This is the best tutorial I have seen, and I have watched quite a few. Great step-by-step explanation. I started doing this right away and I can already see the improvement. Thanks for the lesson!
it cross blocks as your opposite arm pulls, it's a natural movement that happens as you step and rotate used by every top femur. What do you see as the alternative? If you glue the hand up, it'll simply blind you and limit the follow-through on the kick.
@@PaulBanasiaklearned a lot from your insights, Paul! So much so that I can recal the videos and the frames I pauses to integrate your insights into my own. Thanks bud, you make us all stronger by sharing your insights
Great stuff coach. Love the way you broke down each step. The kick starting with the knee, initiated first "going straight up" then turning over has to be a first time ive heard it taught that way. But i definitely like that cue.
Yk how your supposed to shoot your knee way higher in order to hit higher kicks, and you don’t extend until full contact, same principle just full extension sooner since the kick is traveling half the distance
firstly i wanted to thank you for the video and taking the time to explain it in such a way thats easily digestible. Do you (or anyone that reads this) have any tips on not "over rotating" the lead foot ? I always tend to almost end up with my lead foots toes facing backwards, im sure this will come with practice but any and all tips are welcomed. Thanks again for the video, watching from melbourne aus 🤝
Just try to stand up in your toes, naturally you will roate what your body needs, in order you must firts stand in your toes, launch the kick vertically, then with help of your arm, twist your chest and hip, the knee arrive first then your shin to the target.
started Muay thai and I wondered why I get off balance and I have a hard time with my hip rotation. Turns out it was the step in that I was getting wrong. He's right, get the first part wrong and the entire kick is just weird, off balance, and vulnerable. Great tutorial mate
Watch back to the part near the end when coach Jack instructs the reset, then replay the motion. It should be a natural reset back into rhythm, you shouldn't have to force a particular movement. With that said, you could bring it back into a check if you expect a kick to come directly back at you, it is also a helpful motion to know if you aim to take steam off the kick when play sparring bare shin or when kicking into a check.
Definitely not supposed to to do so. Hard to say why it’s hurting, could be lots of things. Best is to check with a professional about it. Could be your hip muscles are weak and not supporting well the impact, lack of mobility or another more serious issue. Worth a check
Do a stretch routine at night. Plus step out and turn your hip and shoulder over. If you don’t turn your hip you’ll force yourself to hit the target incorrectly and stain yourself
