    It truly is amazing how important that shoulder turn is. When you don't turn that shoulder, kick lacks power, intent, no rotation in lead foot, which leaves you somewhat flat footed, which could lead to you being flat on your back lol

      ​​@@sk851097 fighters at high levels can break rules like that. They do it with a purpose to work around checks/blocks and not to telegraph and somewhat hide techniques. This is a video (short) that is meant to help fundamentals. I get what you mean though. Sanchai has done things outside the realm of technical knee throwing in and out of the clinch.

      @@windchimesilo9623 pro fighters also have insane range of motion far beyond what most people have. Flexibility is hugely underrated by most people. The reason Saenchai can kick with that kind of ease is because his actual flexibility in his leg is much more than the minimum range of motion required for the kick.

    lil tip when you rotate your shoulders and hips, the foot your standing on should also rotate about 100-120 degrees, if you understand this it allow you to put much more power into your roundhouse, another tip aim with your knee then release the kick rather than just swinging your leg, both these things beginners forget and if not taught you could injure yourself 😁

      @user-kv7tp5qh4h Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@o0...957 no lol, it only looks like that to you cuz u didn't kick the bag enough, depending on your style and body, some Thai fighters do the "keeping the leg straight kick" which generates more power at the price of speed (think long and short check hooks), others chamber but don't release (knee prevention maybe), by releasing your knee you disrupt momentum transfer, basically both kinda kicks use the same body mechanics when training MT, HOWEVER that's modern MT golden kicks are less readable cuz they started with a knee rise while rotating the other foot (shortest path to a target, straight line)to then release the knee, still MT way, swing through, what is really a big nono in term of technic is doing tkd/karate "snap-back", you literally swing your shin through them, then get your leg back to position, not by snapping it back but pushing your leg back against ribs/arms/quads, so yh despite your claim these MT artists know their art better :)

    my tip is just think of your arms and legs as powerful springs. When you punch or kick, the spring jolts forward with power (depending on how strong you are but thats not the point), and when it makes contact it bounces back into position, not lazily, not forcefully, but like a recoil.

    • @windchimesilo9623
      @windchimesilo9623 Před rokem +7

      I think the reason why is because if you turn your shoulder, your hips rotate into the kick generating extra power, but maintains balance. I totally get what you mean though and the two coincide with one another. Doing it properly is most important.

      I really liked how the Never Back Down movies put what you are saying into perspective. In the first movie the instructor tries to emphasize breathing and following through with your power. He throws a round house on the bag and it slides all the way to the end of the rail. Then in the second movie when the instructor kicks the bag it doesn't move at all but he put a hole in it and the sand started pouring out of it. It's about how you concentrate your power. Both were strong and effective kicks but I'd rather get thrown across the room than have my insides falling out 😂🤣

    Not sure about the "avoid flat-footed" part. Seems like a detriment to stability and transfer of force to me.
    Not just gonna quote my own teachers, but e.g. JC Skarbowsky advocates (and displayed in his fights) a flat foot with focus on straightening the support leg to give the kick from a more grounded support base.
    But the hip turn is the key to the power of this kick anyway.
