Snap Kick vs Thai Kick (PLUS Karate Hottie's Jab Defense)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- While on our tour through New Mexico, we stopped to visit our good friend Michelle Waterson, the "#Karate Hottie," to discuss different types of kicks: snap vs #MuayThai. In this tutorial, the future #MOMCHAMP shows us her signature lead leg roundhouse kick, as a counter to the jab.

The sweatshirt tucked into gym shorts look is powerful dad energy
Yeah, it's also what people who actually train do to prevent snagging.
@@SquiddyOne Is that so?
😂😂😂😂
@@SquiddyOne Or they can just... not wear a sweatshirt in the first place.
can we all stop saying dumb shit like this? It's just a good look
Dont we all wish " You have a really good lead leg roundhouse kick " was a line you can always use to compliment a girl you like hahaha
PRSer wat
Agreed
You can do a round house kick with your lead leg ... Whatttttttt
I’m not trippin on it
peter griffin knows
Her arm looks dislocated in the thumbnail

My elbow can bend that way actually and it's quite normal, I guess. My mom and sis elbow bends that way too.
I don't really know why though or even how common or uncommon it is.

It's a perspective illusion.
@@thedemoninshadow8503 Oh, so that's what it's called?
Though if we take it on a literal sense, it would be weird. But yeah, her like mine have a larger elbow rotation radius that normal.
It almost looked like her leg is broken, so loose and flexible
Amen!

Imagine having this two as your teachers/coaches. Magic.
Wow the synchronicity..I was thinking about this subject some days before and researched on it..nice video guys!
Believe me when I say I was paying attention to what she was saying... then the camera zoomed out.
She is very fast with that lead head kick I’m very impressed. I have good flexibility in my kicks but need to work on my technique in terms of speed, body position and foot position
AwesomeShamz practice makes it perfect
Great video as a martial art practitioner who practice muay thai and kickboxing i can honestly say both style of kicking are very effective and got there own beneficial ways snap kicks are very fast and use best to strike the face area because it doesnt require much force to cause a knock out while thai style are less fast but more painful due to you using your entire shin to aim at your opponent thigh, calves, body

Or in waterson 's case she'll do headkicks while on the other side of the cage
3:04 "Please don't touch me, my wife will kill me. Do it again though"
You're a 1 star man
Since snap kick has higher velocity and lower effective mass than swing kick and vice versa, I see snap kick as a high velocity round , the swing kick as a high mass slug.
Other snap kick advantages not mentioned:
* better clearance because the lever is shorter until the last moment
* snap kicks are less telegraphic, ie, leg check (chamber) to head kick
* focused penetrating hurt on unprotected targets, as opposed to a swing kick's jarring hurt even on protected targets
Good lord. I'm going back to a fighting gym because of this woman.😩😂🔥
You're going for the wrong reasons then. Do what you love not to pick up chicks that's least important
@@brysontheghostgaming9218 Don't be a debbie downer lmao
Thicc as a bick 🧱
I remember using this a lot in stand up back then. I did karate back then, when my knees were better. I would use this as a counter and when It didn't land; I used it as a set up to a lunging straight or re jab to get distance. A great technique right here.
Yay been looking for a part 2! Thanks to you both and Goodluck in ur next fight michelle! I'll be rooting for you
goodness I thought she was about to knock shane out when she missed the pad LOL
she's such an incredible fighter. love her attitude!

Watch Michelle at 5:08 wtf was that, she looks like she's tweaking out
The air caught her slippin
Actually dead at this comment 😂😂
Yah, she was gonna faint
Looked like it
That laugh had her light headed, you can tell she's in shape, I would of been on the floor shaking.
To be honest, since I left with Kumite and started kickboxing sparring, I have never thought to even make a snap-kick. Did this technique for too weak, so it was always good in the point fight. But now I have to try out :D Thanks for the instruction!
Michelle Waterson is here... so I'm here
It's always a delight to learn from her.
Awsome video!
I do similar things a lot in muay thai sparing. I don't quite the flexibility for head kick so I often do lead low kick across both of their legs or inside low kick depend on our relative positions;
Stan the HeadHumongous i have the same issue but with low kicks i always aim for head kicks.... its weird i know but
God Bless you Michelle ! Next UFC champion !
not only is the karate roundhouse (mawashi geri) faster, it's lower commitment. It allows you to chain opposite side attacks even if you wiff (intentionally or unintentionally). Obvi, the Muay Thai roundhouse has a lot of advantages of its own, but I think more pros could benefit from crosstraining mawashi geri, just look at what learning mae geri did for Anderson Silva.
I love Michelle so much, who's ready for her fight tomorrow?
the important part is keeping the heel on the ground so that you transfer the impulse momentum (amount of kinetic energy transferred at the pint of contact) a lot more effectively, lifting the heel creates a spring type mechanism that significantly lower the transfer of energy at the moment of impact and that stability is where the real heavy kick and knockout power comes from
you can still kick hard with the lifting heel but the point is no matter how heavy and hard your kick is it will be heavier with the heel on the ground
heel vs ball of foot is always a compromise that you can decide to make
@@basteagui yeah of course but if you're shooting to kill so to speak hell on the ground is best suited since it doesn't absorb power from your kick
I started out as a TKD base, and now i'm practicing Muay Thai. I'm finding it really hard get those 'baseball' kicks down; my leg keeps wanting to chamber and snap.
Did you make any progress? I have the same issue.
@@justinfreeman4614 Yeah, i managed to branch them out to different techniques.
I would practice on the bag; the goal is to make the bag move significantly, rather than the speed-focused tap of TKD. Focus on getting your hips to turn as you start to kick, you should try to make one big flowing motion, rather than the three-prong movement of TKD.
I also would try to make it a seperate technique rather than trying to overwrite your TKD training. The fast kick can be pretty useful at times.
One of my current weaknesses though is I can't seem to 'slow it down' very much when i want to go lighter in sparring, I instead instinctively switch to the TKD snapping; which is bad when i'm trying to practice only MT
aye, I can completely relate to this. threw a follow-through roundhouse to the ribs during a full-contact karate sparring once, and my opponent weaved back so I hit with my instep instead of my shin. tore my left ankle's ATFL from that =(
i 100 % agree with the kicking low, high thinking

No, the power of the karate hottie booty.

All hail da booty 🍑
You can see the level of control when Shane steps out instead of throwing the jab- she doesn't lose any timing whatsoever. The kick is exactly the same as though she landed!
Her hand guard also working on full extension of her kick.... Awesome
I actually did this move in a mauythai smoker event-, was never thought the moved, but after throwing a couple of punches I did a side step/ pivot to the right for some reason then i threw the kick and my opponent put his hands down may be he thought i was going to throw a low kick or something. But it did connect to his face and head gear. So I do believe this ,this move has some blinding potential or tricking to it.
Wonderboy is really good at hiding his snap kicks.
Seems like a good solution against longer/taller opponents with a boxing background. Though obviously like Michelle said- you'd need damn good timing to pull it off against someone with a good jab.
Interesting. I've trained a similar backstep+kick in more of a "baseball swing" kick. The only difference is that you'd pivot your right foot and that lets you get the hip turn going. Like she said though, speed and height are critical here. Super interesting
IDK what it is but this video gets much much better after 2:49
Good luck on your next fight against Johnna ill be cheering for you Michelle
Nice try Michelle great fight

@imperytus it did not go well
I too like to use both depending on my intention. I had a taekwondo background prior to mma. I've since learned to use both independently, and end a spliced hybrid of both.
Point Karate is more than just above the waist there are sweeps and low leg sweeps
Just found this video after her fight last night, she's got insane front leg reflexes.
My peeps 💪🤘
I learned how to fight. Just by watching and learning from them. I love you guys
I learned to fight by watching Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee movies but I always got beat up on the street. I don't know why?
@@goodmantruth8185 You must have forgot to switch the difficulty to Easy
@@Th3W4tchman thanks. I will do it next time.
With the multiple tib fib breaks I see from muay thai roundhouse kicks getting checked in mma, this style looks attractive. I can't even watch those videos where the leg wraps around the checking kick
u both are awesome. I do muay thai and the idea of snapping the high kick is a thing i ll consider doing myself. my dexterity for a full roundhouse to the head isnt there yet anyways
Fantastic technical video, I loved it! Thanks for sharing this video! 👊🙏👏🥊🙂👍
I’m not even listening to her teaching cuz I’m so h hypnotized by her beauty
5:11 i see u shane😆👀
😂😂😂
Not to nitpick, but if someone is going to leave their jaw unprotected by their non-punching hand, there's a lot of counters that will work.
Notice how she's slipping to the outside without her left hand covering her chin and her left arm swinging downward to generate power on the snap kick? She's open for a 1-2 knock out, for at best a "check hook" vs proper glove and shoulder placement. Just flashy nonsense, IMO.
@@andrewferris1903 She's leaning back as well. That puts her head out of range of the punch.
@@danielskrivan6921 Granted she's not defenseless, but the slip is low% without the glove to reinforce the cheek from the jab and the cross can still reach her with a step or go to the body while her stability is compromised. I mean the timing of the kick has to be perfect to pin the arm in place, it all seems high risk/low reward.
@@andrewferris1903 On the one hand, she's a professional fighter, so I think she knows what she's doing. On the other hand, this is how Olympic Taekwondo fighters avoid being kicked in the head, so it also makes sense. What credentials do you have to judge the techniques of a professional UFC fighter and Olympic competitors?
Daniel Skrivan She also talks about how she often has a range disadvantage, so it makes sense for her to rely on a technique that can help compensate for that disadvantage.
Also i think the snapping combined with the hip rotation is more than enough for ko power. It’s weak compared to a swinging thai style kick but hits like a truck compared to a punch
MT roundhouse is a lot of commitment. You aim for the head and miss, you are in a bad defensive stance. Basically more power but slow recovery.
That is the weirdest training mitt I've ever seen.
She valid asf
You make a lot of good sense Michelle.
I think I fell in love lol. On a serious note Dope videos. Have watched a few of yours and is solid for sure

Hey Shane, saw your video about "if the heavy bag is spinning, you're doing it wrong". Would love it if you make a similar video but about the double-end bag since its my favorite bag to hit.
She is incredible. I follow her on insta. I think she is a really sweet person and I’m pulling for her in her next one.
You have a very productive channel, thanks for sharing.
love it...very informational seen the ko with this kick. CANT WAIT TO TRY IT OUT

Interesting way of using the Karate lead leg round kick indeed.

So many muay thai champion wearing ankle support these day.

@Steven Solos In thailand the way we sit was different so our ankle will be stronger than foreign.
harvey myers depends on your ankle strength tbh i’ve done it since 2009 and my ankles are fine.. now my knees on the hand 😂
@@gaberesendez6492 does it fuck your knee up that much?
Ive seen top level Muay Thai guys swing and snap. beginner-intermediate Muay Thai guys focus on the swing only. Beginner-intermediate Taekwondo guys focus on the snap only. I find that great kickers in any sport utilize a swing and finish with a snap. The starting principles are different depending on which martial art you choose, but in the end a roundhouse is a roundhouse. All paths, lead up the same mountain.
I need a tip
So I'm an mma fighter and last night it was a sparring day so there was a guy that was maybe 220 pounds and nobody wanted to fight with him even the champions my coach asked
-who wants to spar?
And I was putting on my shinguars and thinking that there will be at least 5 persons at the sparing when I put on my gloves and the shinguards the coach sad:
-go to the cage.
Which was weird cuz we usually spar outside the cage,at this moment I realised that I'm the only one who's gonna fight with that guy then I thought if the champions dont wanna fight with him why did I agreed?And when the coach sad
-Put your headgear on.
I knew that I was fucked up cuz I've never used helms before and the worst thing was that I'm middleweight and he was a heavyweight.So the fight begun I tried to use combo with a spinning back kick that I learned from you by the way❤️but I couldn't see anything because of the helm,I couldn't use my strongest weapon,the spinning attacks,he pushed me to the corner and started throwing some hooks,uppercuts etc. i immediatly blocked them but it was painful I got out of the corner and tried threw some headkicks.After 3 rounds of sparring which I felt like a competition I understanded if I wanna survive I'm gonna use the overhand and it worked actually.After the 7 terrible rounds the coach stopped him and sended me to the heavybag.My significant strikes were 5 overhands and maybe 7-8 headkicks.
I'm really demotivated right now I know it's better to fight with stronger guys cuz it willing be easier with the normal fighters.
I don't know I will find out next Friday but I'm really demotivated right now.
You're helping me alot with your videos keep going☝️
You aren't at your fullest potential that was real shitty of your coach to let you go through it just to please the other guy but this will help you when you spar people in your own weight class as you won't be afraid of that pressure and overall fighting because you already have fought giants this shouldn't discourage you tho it takes heart to not quit the moment you realize its going wrong simply improve your skills and remember that realistically that's how real fights will be and add that thought to your everyday training
Don't know if you'll see this, Shane. But just wanted to let you know that you got a shout out at Street Beefs by one of the fighters.
Ah very cool -- do you know the name of the fighter?

Great video man
Her kick is a bit more slapping . Obviously the traditional round kick can generate more power. Also,if you kick more with the ball than the instep, that would help with those hypertension and generate alot of power and penetration. It's all practice
Kinda reminds me of wonderboys snap, their both a little different
both variations on mawashi geri
It’s funny because I do the opposite
I go forward with my back leg and do an inside leg kick then cut an angle and go to the body and head, so I’m square but they are more bladed
Michelle is a nice person its hard to not like her 👊
A snap kick is much more powerful like a snap hook punch, no telegraphs and quick. Thai follow throughs are powerful, but very easy to dodge, block or grab ☝️
Kicks from the lead leg are so much harder to defend. With space you use the roundhouse, in close a crescent.
I’ve done this in one of my fights snap kick same time someone jabs works sometime we practice this good technique
Is this really effective? The right hand is still guarding the face. Except for the surprise factor, won't it do the same damage? If you slipped the opponent's jab, then I think it's better to go for a left hook or body shot since the left side of the body is exposed. All it takes is an opponent with a stable guard and stance, to receive that round house and then do a simple low kick to make you fall.
THE SNAP KICK , IS AN ART IN MARTIAL ARTS 🥋 .!!!!!!! . HARD TO PRACTICE . SEE: ( VANDAM ) . HOW HE , TRAINS .!!!!!!! . VERY AFFECTIVE .!!!!! . IN MOST FIGHTS .!!!!!! . OR SUPER FOOT ON THIS SUBJECT .!!!!!!!!! .👍❤️🙏🏾......
Love Michelle, such a cool person. Awesome fighter!
She is amazing.
