More than twisting the knee joint while simultaneously placing all your weight on it?...At least by stepping you are aligning the knee in its end direction.
Sometimes I could see that my kick was stronger than my friend who learned how to kick Now I'm interested in Muay Thai, so I watched this video, and I think that's why Your tips are excellent!
Your msg should be not to pivot too much. The low kick shown still shows a pivot on the lead foot which is right. Or you mess up your knee. Also both kicks still transfer weight to the lead leg except when you go forward it generates more power. Don't preach the wrong msg for views pls
Yeah pivots important and taught for 1000s of years for a reason its the traditional way and it follows your natural kinetic movement/anatomy. Bullshit video
I tried this and instantly felt more power generated forward into the kick. It can be sneakily done as the front leg going up taking weight off looks like a leg kick check
nice tutorial some short video show them to pivot their foot i though that was right until i show this video that pivoting your foot when kicking is wrong, nice 👍👍
Both work. That step or jump usually telegraphs the kick. Pivoted Power low kick with tight chamber load and proper torque is highly efficient. It's not that you shouldn't pivot on the low kick. It's how you set up and properly use the low kick. I prefer pivoted low kick and have finished fights with them. Without stepping or jumping.
If you know how to throw your hips then allowing to pivot your heel will deliver all the weight , a flat foot cut your power short and prevent full follow through.
There will always be a tradeoff in the level of commitment and power. At some point there are diminishing returns, you should be landing only as far as you want it to follow through, and even then, you can always shift the weight of your foot and adjust, just as I do to reset.
@@PaulBanasiak yeh but you gunna give seconds away regardless when you move to kick - in both your hands should protect you some what but you certainty don’t want to kick and not deliver a pay load - the pivot on the heel doesn’t off balance you and doesn’t plant you on the foot- I might front kick your leg to pin it flat footed so I can control. The heel should be off the floor - there is just no advantage to a flat foot in power and speed or even balance - since your centre weight is the balance and you should be trying to kick with your centre balance normal not off centred. There just isn’t any benefit and only disadvantage to staying flat on your feet at any stage of the fight. Thats why we skip.
I love how it shows a legit Muay Thai trainer with over 300 fights in Thailand showing this and people are commenting saying it’s wrong… 😂 too funny And talking about telegraphing? You should never be stationary, the step angles you off the centerline and no they don’t see it if set up/you’re going to step anyway, all strikes need to be setup or be a setup. And no it doesn’t put you off balance but go ahead and keep pivoting stationary on your low kicks as that overhand right comes down the centerline and knocks you down/hurt your shin because you are kicking at the wrong angle
If wanna throw it hard you kinda gotta step with it to get the angle for the hip rotation. But if you kinda just wanna land hard enough to keep ur opponent away or if you got insane natural power you can throw the kick without the extra step a bit faster, without telegraph. Pereira does it all the time but he has different power. If wanna throw hard and you don't got pereira power u gotta step into it or you can use a punch in to disguise the step like a jab and then just rotate your hip into it
Never heard this tip on other channels. Very good point. Does this apply on body/headkicks too?🤔 I think I remember my trainer saying for highkicks get on our balls of the foot to get higher
Hey champ, no it doesn't apply to the head kick or body kick. Think about it this way, it makes sense to drive all of your power in the same direction on the body kick, but why would we come up on the ball of the foot and twist while ALSO attempting to drop our weight into the low kick? The two are trying to accomplish different things.
Maybe in the same way “squats are bad for your knees”. You should have a well studied trainer to train with in with solo training as a supplement, when you do agility work and land on one leg are you more stable when landing on your toes while decelerating? No. You open the hip accordingly to as far as you want to follow through, there should be one tension at the knee. This is coming from someone who blew out both of his knees skateboarding before his pro fighting career.
That’s stepping while pivoting without over pivoting good tip
Was struggling to phrase it, as it appears to still be a "pivot" but it's more like stepping into the position. Thank you!
@@sonnyplourde90 people do it in fights, you can see any strike coming if you don’t set it up
Both works actually and it depends on the situation.
You better put your front feet at least on 45 degrees rotation or get ready to make richer a knee surgeon…
Why?

But you are not "not pivoting", you are supposed to pivot in the air before you step@@Jonatic1017
@@Jonatic1017 I don't have experience with this happening while kicking but I can definitely vouch for the knee straining if kept straight

This is like the opposite of what I was taught.
It’s only for low kicks. You’re still supposed to pivot on body and head round house
@@4pursexactly!
Look at how saenchai throws low kick
Only on low kick brother
But for the roundhouse its like that

Yea Thai and Dutch Lowkick have their Own,, hes prefer dutch style, While thai generates more power but Easier to block,

Thanks man!!!That helped me A LOT💪🏻
You r not able to rattet the back part of the knee where the hamstring tendon are if you dont pivot. It depends on what u are tangeting after .
Telegraphs more with the step up, but pivot can make you lose balance. So fake a jab first before this kick, pivot is better for make ngl
Good combination in these fight 💪

Thats how some ufc fighters kick🔥
Also better on ground that doesn't slide well 👍
Basically, don't turn your foot and kick at the same time, position your foot and kick later
thank you
isn't that literally telegraphing the kick?
Nice tip!

Don’t you risk being downed while you are mid air? Like if someone jabs you while you are jumping, aren’t you gonna fall?
Step and pivot put a little lean on yo kick look at Justin gatheje kicks for reference
I thought you was about to kick that box with yo lil toe

Just thrust your hips forward and the bodyweight will shift forward
nice
Bruh, there is a huge level of difference between an instep kick (Slenderman) and landing the kick with mid shin contact (Thai Slowmo)
Dropping the weight isn't wrong. It's how a person is transferring that weight is what's wrong

@@PaulBanasiakthe downward "chopping" motion. Yes I understand thanks
Ik thst tip already
At that point its too telegraphed you getting swept by someone who knows what they doing
Don't blow your knee out!
So I must kind of pivot on the air??
More of a step on an angle, if U imagine a clock I like to step my left foot at around 8 -9 o'clock and then kick with the right leg
Lol I know this from and old manga
Telegraph
What kind of shorts are they? 🔥
They seem like "retro" type of muay shorts, shorter ones with a narrower waist band. Couple brands do retro shape ones.
Maybe you should learn some taekwondo to learn how to turn you foot and not lose power
Right, because TKD is known for its low kicks 👍🏼
damn crazy right the fight style around kicking knows how to throw kicks who would have thought

You're just pivoting that foot in the air instead of on the ground, lol.
Oh, sorry I’m kinda new how can I learn from you?
@@PaulBanasiakStop posting senseless crap like a bot. That's how you can learn from me.
Good advice for Muay Thai, bad for mma
Can get taken down and gives a boxer his window to attack
Beware, guys
Tried it. Messed up my knees
Try aiming with ur shin next time
U gotta work on the way you wind up after the kick. You can't stay planted while turning back that's when you put strain on your knees
This is terrible for your knees fyi
