    Actually Lyoto Machida also KO'd Belfort with that front kick. Poor Vitor.

      Arno Verdoodt yeah that front snap kick is a tricky bastard. I once sparred a karate guy back in college and shot in for the kill to out box him he gave me a vicious low kick with a mid range side kick combo and finishes me off with a front snap kick. Pretty much K.O. City for me. Getting kicked in the face can be a bit traumatizing and can rock the brain hardcore man.... damn kicks.

      @@unknownslarry395 Also because it lands on the chin mostly, like an uppercut. So yeah if you get hit on the chin the whiplash is bigger and your brain will move more, so bigger chance of getting KO'd

    Stephen, I know it may sometimes seem like there's not much of an audience for this sort of thing, but for us fight fans and combat sports enthusiasts, this is just priceless content. I'm so grateful to have the chance to get tips and learn techniques from absolute top-tier athletes. It's crazy what the internet does, 10 years ago this was impossible to even fathom. You had to wait for famous instructors to hold a seminar somewhere nearby (for which you hopefully had the money), only chance to get close to the elites.

    This was not too bad. The footwork on that Machida variation made this one worth watching. Thompson is a very good fighter but just because someone is an accomplished fighter doesnt mean their videos are teaching you anything that you wouldnt learn from a random coach youve never even heard of, even an average one. TBH, there are better tutorials on YT for most everything he's covered so far. Im hoping this first round of videos are just meant to outline the basics and eventually he will step the quality up for more advanced people who have some experience in martial arts and look for guys with impressive fight records to learn the things that random, average coaches cant teach us.

    Another important aspect to the push front kick is the support leg. If your toes aren't pointed forward, you won't get the power you'd need to drive it all the way through unless your legs are ridiculously strong. Essentially, your power is coming from the rolling of the foot from the middle of the foot to the toes.
