When you watch an old video and it starts with “Hey you guys, hope you’re doing okay in these hard times”. You know exactly what years this was made haha
It’s crazy how something as simple as recording yourself makes you see how many little things you can overlook if you are not careful. I also find it crazy how watching you do things can a lot of times correct things I didn’t even notice I was doing wrong. I agree with all your points coach! Great video as always.
Thanks for the feedback my man! And I hope no one thinks I'm trying to say I'm perfect, I'm not haha. Just wanna share my journey along the way! Cheers brotha, stay safe and happy training!
Man, your so underrated Jkillah! You gave the best advice and did not leave any details out when it comes to roundhouse. 💯. ...most other avid youtube practitioners I struggle to watch 11 minutes of their videos, not you sir. Very valuable information and textbook. I will have to admit my roundhouse sucks but my takeaway is to avoid leaning...for the most part I take care of everything else. 500,000 to go 0 down on roundhouse and the first 100 to 500 will be very slow making sure to place emphasis on the form and the highlighted 7 points and I already know with repetition the hip and torquing the supporting leg will whip out the knockout power that will subconsciously come later without knowing. Oss! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm so happy you highlighted that you were able to watch an 11 minute video of mine haha! That is a big accomplishment lol!! Hey Stan, don't be too hard on yourself either brother, I'm not perfect as well, I make beginner mistakes along the way too, as martial artists we just try to make improvements and adjustments along the way, to fine tune the sword, and refine the skill! OSS
THANK YOU for showing your legs! I always wanted to learn the roundhouse but was concerned about twisting my knee and making it injury prone. now i know to completely turn the body, make the hips are turned all the way, and bring the leg around with knee in alignment
One of the best explanations! Watching it because I got my toe fractured when I hit a bag with my foot. Need to ensure it never happens agan - technique is everything! Thank you!
I rewatched this so many times over the last couple months, as a martial artist who considers judo my main style my kicks have always been lacking. Many thanks, a lot of rich material in this video
That makes me feel really good, that people will come back to watch this video for reference, thank you for that. And, I also love judo, would like to get back into it someday!
Good instruction ! Also having a bag that doesn't move I also key for getting the technique down 100%. Too many people move pass the development with a still bag worrying about "more realistic" training with a swinging bag. That comes later
Start slow, focus on your form and quality kick plus those 7 tips. I would like to add 1 more and that's your hip thrust movement from the core of your body will generate a perfect roundhouse kick.
Solid tips, sir. I agree with every one of them. In addition, for my students moving into the intermediate level, I have them focus on turning the shoulder over and driving through with the hips (rather than pulling the shoulder back and/or "flicking" or straightening the leg prior to impact). Just some food for thought. Love the vid and the detailed breakdown. Keep up the great work!
I've been doing it right all along. As a Yaw-Yan practitioner, I was taught to keep our hands up to keep our defense when kicking. I get tempted to generate more power by swinging my arm though.
Well we *can* swing our arm depending on the circumstances. If we've noticed the opponent isn't countering much, we might want to swap safety for power or if we catch them in a situation where being countered isn't a huge risk (eg. we have moved off of their center line by ducking/dipping/rolling to their side / blind angle before kicking). When fighting straight on, posting / guarding is always a good habit to have though.
Great video! I'm just an elderly woman who does cardio kickboxing but I still can try to improve my roundhouse technique. I'm looking forward to my next class so I can practice what you've taught me 🥊♥
Thanks Jason - this video really helps. Confirmed some things I already knew but also helped clarify for me some aspects of what makes a really good roundhouse kick. Now some good practice ahead.
Thank you for watching brother, and please don't get me wrong, I'm not perfect, we all make mistakes! Cheers to improving and getting better a little bit everyday! OSS
Hi Jason, Excellent vid - this is really good material (not just for the student, also for the teachers 👍). You should do more of these 😁 All the best from Germany, OSS Peter
Thanks Peter! Yes, as a long time martial artist, many view me as a teacher or sensei, but I view myself as a perpetual student & learner, the beginners mindset is so important for constant improvement in the martial arts! God bless!
This is amazing, thank you T-T! Could you do one for Yoko Geri Kekomi and Keage please? I feel like this video should be shown to everyone just starting out, it has everything! OSS!
@@SENSEIJASON Just realized it may be the second time I ask you this, sorry! I've made this request to some other people too so I've kind of lost track of who I haven't asked yet =P
Young Master those were 7 great tips for 7 most common mistakes. Beginners really don’t understand the dynamic of how the body works and how the body parts actually work together. That’s my opinion on the mistakes they make. Keep them rolling Oss. Master Sensei Kenny 🥋🥋🥋🥋👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Love the venum gear! This was one of the most entertaining and comprehensive videos you’ve done yet. Please do another video of why your “...” sucks! OSS 🔥
Yes of course, you will have good “form”. But without practicing any impact training on a heavy bag or something similar, you will not be able to learn proper power transfer and positioning when you “connect” to a target. I trained karate most of my life and classes are usually taught without any impact training, so a high priority was focused on the “form” or “shape”. Without bagwork or heavy bag training your “form” may lack “substance”.
At the impact point, full extension to slight extension is all acceptable. It really just depends on the target area and amount of power you want to deliver. Fully extending will leave you more compromised to being countered though.
But I'll throw one with my left leg to step forward into right handed boxing. Since I'm fairly ambidextrous and under six foot this is how I close the distance against people with greater reach. Is there a better way to do this?
Hey brother welcome to the channel! Appreciate your support! The shorts are super dope, they are from the brand called YOKKAO. Look em up you won't be disappointed! -Jason
Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Also, you forgot to mention, that the shorter your shorts are, the better your roundhouse kicks will naturally be. If we really want perfect roundhouse kicks, we should fight in speedos. =)
What if i cant pivot?What workout do you recomemd?it s feel a big pain on the left side of the hips, i cannot turn the hip ,the pain its so much when i do it
Honesty it should all be one motion, we practice it mechanically and step by step when we’re just learning, the better you become the more of one motion it should be.
In shotokan karate I've been taught to land the mawashi geri with the ball of the foot. Is this a good advice? I tend to hurt my toes when I try to do that on the heavy bag.
Yes, I have 15+ years in shotokan karate. I too was taught this way. But if you must learn to adapt and be able to strike with your shin/instep, instead of your toes.
Correct Praise Correct.That's how we motivate each other to improve.Hard work helps us to improve ourselves.Great video.My black belt🥋 goes out to you.Oss.
@@SENSEIJASON that is what happens when you throw all strength shin kicks ( and you try to lateral kick knees on someone with a good stance and checking sense). McGregor's coach said it was a block but IDK.
@@SENSEIJASON that is what McGregor's team said I saw that. It was a good block. If McGregor had control or better judgement he might not have taken that hit. Earlier in the fight though he Poirer checks a couple dirty knee kick for connor against his stance and the points at McGregor's foot like he knew something was up.
@@SENSEIJASON Witness the cover page. On the left with "correct" approval. Demonstrator is not on the ball of his left foot. The right arm is not swung back enough to be behind the right leg; a biomechanics flaw.
do you realize you keep smacking your spit into the microphone each time you make a point? bro, mic technique, please...some of us have headphones on. might want to quit doing it in person-to-person chats as well.
@@SENSEIJASON I guess, I could, but that content already exists ALL OVER UA-cam. So, I'm sure you can find one. But you know, as a viewer, it makes perfect sense for me to "leave a comment" and that comment might be about the fact that you keep mic bombing us with your spit? What are the odds, right?

Wow I like your advice on form first before anything. Love it
Of course, technique is number one! God bless 🙏🔥
Hi Jason. Thanks for vid. I don’t have access to a heavy bag, do you think it’s possible to practise/learn the roundhouse effectively without one?
Yes of course, you will have good “form”. But without practicing any impact training on a heavy bag or something similar, you will not be able to learn proper power transfer and positioning when you “connect” to a target.

My Round House aka Mawashi Geri kick was also sucked. But I improved alot. Still learning. Thank you. Amazing video. Oss❤️❤️❤️❤️
Of course my brother, hope you found something valuable! Oss
Should the lead leg be straight when hitting the target? It can be bent in Muay Thai sometimes but is it different in kickboxing?
At the impact point, full extension to slight extension is all acceptable.
It really just depends on the target area and amount of power you want to deliver.
Fully extending will leave you more compromised to being countered though.
Thanks Jason. Big help. Now I know why my roundhouse kicks suck.
Acknowledging it is the first step! Haha jokes aside, thanks so much for tuning in 🙏🙏
But I'll throw one with my left leg to step forward into right handed boxing. Since I'm fairly ambidextrous and under six foot this is how I close the distance against people with greater reach. Is there a better way to do this?
leaning back is good when u need to counterbalance if u have momentum on your roundhouse kick
Catching this video a little late, but the tips are great. Thanks for putting it together and showing the do’s and don’ts.
What shorts are those?

What if i cant pivot?What workout do you recomemd?it s feel a big pain on the left side of the hips, i cannot turn the hip ,the pain its so much when i do it
you probably have limited flexibility in your ankles, look up the asian squat and give that a try
The "right" ones are also wrong.

Great video fam!
Thank you champ!
I am a left leg ,, right hand. How do i keep my right leg good at kicking like my left leg. I tried but my right hip won't budge n right kick sucks..
Stretch and try again
Solid video, great help.
You got it my friend! 🔥🙏
Nice video man
During a kick Do you lift the knee before landing the kick, cuz when I do this, I can kick higher but is it wrong?
Honesty it should all be one motion, we practice it mechanically and step by step when we’re just learning, the better you become the more of one motion it should be.
Thanks for sharing
Really useful
OSS 🥋🔥💪🥊
I am older and have problems with height of kick
Awesome video!
Thank you my friend!
Should we lift weights? mainly squats, deadlift??
Depends on your goals? Fitness? Strength? Martial arts improvement?
@@SENSEIJASON for speed in kumite. Should I lift weight
Well if you want to get faster I’d recommend Olympic lifting (cleans, snatch). But in general I believe timing beats speed, and precision beats power.
@@SENSEIJASON sorry can you explain the last line in detail.
In shotokan karate I've been taught to land the mawashi geri with the ball of the foot. Is this a good advice? I tend to hurt my toes when I try to do that on the heavy bag.
