      Thanks so much. that means a lot! I don't know, I guess I just haven't made many vids until now.

    I'm just learning taekwondo, and this drastically helped me improve my side kicks. I was having a lot of hip pain previously, which I am finding out was due to improper form. This is helping strengthen those minor hip muscles and remove any pain from the motion. Thanks so much for sharing!

    • @SimonScher
      @SimonScher  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thank you! Many instructors have a hard time breaking down the side kick, and many students have a hard time grasping all the elements. So it can be helpful to have them all laid out like this

      @SimonScher  Před 9 lety +5

      Lol, agreed. For hammer fist I recommend swimming across a lake being chased by a shark and tilling a field with your bare hands.

      No turtle shell?

    • @SimonScher
      @SimonScher  Před 9 lety +2

      Justin Chao my bad, of course a heavy turtle shell. In my advanced side kick tutorial I will suggest ankle weights to help add resistance to the side kicks strength training. so many vid ideas and so little time to put them together. :)

    Best tutorial I have seen for side kick technique. It really gets to the meat of the matter. Side kicks take a lot of work and will make you a way better practitioner of any martial art. I typically judge a martial artist's level of training from their side kick. Awesome video. Thanks.

    • @SimonScher
      @SimonScher  Před 7 lety +1

      thanks for the feed back. much appreciated! I totally agree on the importance of the side kick and its use as a litmus test.

    • @edgar22452
      @edgar22452 Před 6 lety +2

      probably the most important kicking technique of the striking arts.

    • @edgar22452
      @edgar22452 Před 6 lety +1

      Remember when the sidekick was underutilized in MMA? Now MMA fighters are incorporating the sidekick in their striking game.

  • @travisfitzwater8093
    @travisfitzwater8093 Před 3 lety

    Great video. One more thing:. Aim your kick as though you want to hit the back of your antagonist. This way all the kinetic energy will concentrate in the center of his chest in the area of the solar plexus. If done correctly, there is no need to fret over arn position as your opponent will endure atelectasis (collapsed lung) and immediately fall into a prostrate position on the ground. You will then enjoy from 2 to 7 minutes of strategic hegemony vis a vis his opponent. One should only avail himself of this approach in situations where he reasonably apprehends he or a third party is in imminent danger of the threat of serious bodily injury such as being maimed, disfigured, disabled, or killed. Control the power, don't let it control you.

    @MsCloseCombat Před 8 měsíci

    GREAT video, really takes you from A to Z. I come from Muay Thai, but I think side step could be a great leg 'punch'. If you want to take it even a step further, try to bounce around your balancing foot while firing off side kicks. If you're a psycho you can do these while on a balance board or yoga ball (but seriously only professionals)

    Brilliant! Mad but brilliant!
    Thumbed up & subbed - there is no substitute for quality!!!
    i would like to add that if you are a gym member you can put the ankle attachment on the pulley machine on the lower setting) and do leg raises with weights, they're pretty useful.
    I also have 2x5kg ankle weights (velcro closure) and they really help with developing kicking prowess, you have to make sure you practice without them though or they might throw your timing out a little, but they don't half improve the speed of your kicks.

    • @SimonScher
      @SimonScher  Před 9 lety +1

      those are some good points. I was going to put that in my advanced sidekick tutorial but my Gym was closed the day I was shooting and planning for those shots :( So I had to go without. Perhaps I will add them in a side bar. I am really glad that you liked my tutorial. good luck with your training.
