    @dsettleascii no not really. if you stretch all of you leg muscles you can learn to kick like a kickboxer, if you see cro cop kick he brings his leg straight up on an angel that will connect with the head. the muay thai head is alot harder to use the hips to whip your kick at the last second. hope that helped. good luck

    You can stop half way as well, you should train both.

    There are two ways, the 180( which is not really a one 180, you actually land past your front leg a bit, and the older style which is to spin then block with the other leg. You don’t spin all the way around for the 180, look up SAMKOR (the hardest damn MT kicker known to man) art of kicking, and you’ll see he does the 180. Both power are the same, but the ending gives a different disadvantage.

    I must have some pretty weak kicks?, did you even read my post mate?; I said that I always spin when I kick!.

    What I said was that he doesn’t carry all the way through with his kick, he stops midway; leaving his back exposed.

    muay thai fighters don’t have big legs

    you must have some pretty weak kicks then budy, a powerful round house kick is almost imposible to not spin around, but you see if it connected even if blocked your not going to spin

    I understand good and well, mate

  20. DanCrase

    Mate, I’m fully aware of the physics of a Muay Thai shin kick; I’m a muay thai fighter from Manchester, England. Whenever I throw a kick I make sure (if it misses) it takes me right back round into my stance.
    I never disrespected him or his abilities.

    its not a question of whether you like it or not, its physics, when you throw a proper muay thai kick, the weight of your leg carries you around, this is jeff harrison, 4/4 in montreal’s tko! he taught me how to kick, he knows what he’s doing. think you can knock him out?? try it.

    this kid is a tidy boxer just from the look of his kick

    Yes, it is true, you do not understand.

    I think his legs look ridiculously great actually. But logically, which would hurt more? A leg with skin/fat covering the bone or a leg that has kicked so much it is sharpened to a knife like edge?

    Good kicking but he must complete the full turn, i can tell the guy is good but as far as tutorial, you need to show the newbies how to complete the turn when practicing

    not to mention, if he was going to whip out the rear hook kick, its not like the opponent wouldnt have to close up the distance to strike anyways. its hard to just magically jump inside anyways

    Man you comment too much.. So what if he drops his arm like that.. Shit.. he’s not gonna be like that in battle man.. Throw one jab?? he’s giving kick tutorial? what the fuck is the jab gonna do there? he’s breaking things down moron.. I don’t wanna talk no more stupid head

  42. ahnnyoung

    you left your face way to open … try not to drop your left arm and throw atleast one jab … best to do a jab, jab, cross, kick. then they focus on your hands and not your legs. unless their a good fighting with a good chin, they’ll eat the jabs but they’ll even get nervous from the cross.
