Damn, she ripped those kicks on you Sean 😄 Cassie -- your form is EXCELLENT. And Owen, you're a stud 🤘 I also love using the axe kick from the outside-in (swing out to your right with your right leg, then down through the guard. Great stuff, you guys 🙏

I have a TKD background, and I just got into Muay Thai. Before I saw this, I thought it might be silly to bust some of this out in sparring, but I guess not. I definitely enjoy Muay Thai more, but I have more experience in TKD. Thanks for sharing this. I'm always worried about the Muay Thai police. Lol
@@Hexenhammer tbh if you look at Golden Era Mua Thai fighters quite a lot of the techniques crop up. If you pop out a front leg sidekick and the 'Muay Thai Police' say anything, just tell them to have a word with Samart about it ;) I'm about to make the switch to Muay Thai from Tang Soo Do, and it was partly seeing the old school use those techniques that convinced me.
As someone who has taught and practiced Tae Kwon Do for 40 years , I can attest to its effectiveness, both in the ring and on the street. The main issue with using the foot as a striking surface, specifically with the roundhouse, as opposed to the shin, is the wear and tear on the small bones of the foot. With shoes on this is lessened and the instep area is strengthened via shoe laces and tightening. And the reach is greater than with the shin. A good sidekick and all it’s variations are excellent additions to any fighter’s repertoire.
Muay Thai is a great martial art and will make your TKD, TSD, Karate far better because it is an amazing foundation to build upon for all strikers! Muay Thai with advanced boxing, karate, TKD, TSD, BJJ...just an awesome MA and it works and is highly effective especially low shin kick, front kick, knees and elbows! Love it!
I just started kickboxing lessons with a personal trainer this past week. Not purposely it was meant to keep me motivated and get in cardio and core work that I was missing on my own. She introduced me to this and I love it. It’s a serious workout. I’ve landed my foot in the wrong place a few times so some soreness has occurred. Not gonna lie either it’s kinda awkward being a guy having a girl put on a body suit and tell you where to hit her. Don’t think I’ll ever get used to it but she’s cool.
I like these from TKD: 1.Jumping double roundhouse,first to the thigh+other leg to the head.(alt. faking the first kick and just jumping for the headkick ,better for covering long distance) 2.Front leg sidekick(skipping for longer distance) - back leg back kick. 3.Front leg skipping outer cresent kick to the head(to close distance and break guard) - back leg roundhouse to the ribs. 4.Faking roundhouse to the ribs - same leg kick to the head. for defense: 5.Defending with a back kick; jump backwards and pivot to your own stomach side - execute back kick. 6.Defending with back leg roundhouse; jump backwards drawing your front leg back - execute roundhouse kick with back leg.
It's been a TON of fun filming with Cassie. She leave Thailand tomorrow but will be coming back alter in the year... we'll have to make sure to film more when she gets back!
@@seanfagan Its in my BLOOD BROTHER ALL DAY EVERY DAY ANYWHERE ANYTIME. I walked through the mall shopping center and every MAN i walked barst i thought about the QUICKEST WAY TO TAKE HIM DOWN. THATS HOW MY MIND WORKS !!!OZY NAK MUAY THAI WORRIES.SOUNDS LIKE THE START OFF A M.M.A GYM?
I learnt Old school taekwondo & Boxing simultaneously and because of it I was successful in Boxing, Kickboxing, Sanda, Muay Thai & even in Karate tournament with little adjustment
Represented my country in TKD and studied MT and kickboxing for many years, both are great but MT/kickboxing are far more practical for self defense in my humble opinion. Having said that, I totally agree that TKD kicks can be applied to MT, MMA and Kickboxing. I found my TKD kicks always gave me an advantage in MT and kickboxing. One thing I disagree with was Cassie's advice to look before you throw the spinning back kick, it slows you down considerably and I found did not necessarily increase the success rate, especially if thrown at the right time, when an opponent is coming on. Great video, thanks guys.
As a tkd guy, there should be no pause when doing spinning techniques. Completing the kick and looking at the target happens in one motion (although step by step is good practice). You usually fully look back by the time your leg is chambered and ready to throw ✌️
My most favorite tkd techniques are all of them, as a person who does muay thai with a tkd background, I've applied tkd techniques to muay thai in a sparring match, all of them are useful, but I recommend using side push kicks the most because it's really good with keeping your distance and hitting good body blows.
I practiced tae Kwon do and now I train Muay Thai. I use the side kick to keep distance and the spining kick to counter strike both work really well. Also the spining heel kick can put you to sleep but is very technical. Great video
yeah she was probably doing it slowly so the people could see (can't do it slowmo otherwise), but the art of that kick is doing it one motion in order to 'save' a lost roundhouse kick and harnessing its momentum.
Not round but back kick. If you get to "turn" before hitting youre doing it wrong; wasting time, poyecting, is easy to block and leave you exposed. Capoeira being the whorst example... 80s karate movies the most common. Tkd has its flaws (hands wise) but we see those in slo mo. They do take the upper body away, wich is a + sometimes
For me the 'snap' roundhouse to the head would be in there. Lacks the power of the Muay Thai kick but it's faster and comes in at an angle MT/Kickboxers aren't so used to if they've never done TKD/TSD. And while it isn't as powerful as the MT kick the snap can still put somebody down if it lands clean.
For sure it throws the timing off and you can tell when you see their face (if you didnt knock them out) and theyre like "where the fuck was the switch at?"lol
My top 3 TKD kicks to use in K1 (because I can't pick just 1 I love them all), are the jump spinning back kick, the spinning hook kick and the axe kick, I've landed this one A LOT. As always you made a great video, love it💪
Its a good thing it was a smaller person and a demonstration because live against somebody you're own size and you know youre going to be apologizing to your ribs the next morning for walking into it.
For practical use, definitely side kick. For flashiness, tornado kick. You can use the side kick to break guard/startle your opponent and follow through with tornado kick from the distance created with the side kick
I'm a tkd white belt and I've been doing taekwondo for 4 months so my favourite kick that I've learned until now is spinning back kick,thrust kick and double roundhouse and I really loved ur video a lot💖keep it up🤘🤙
So cool that video, that steps, explanation, and the environment the wild life, listening to the birds feel like after go for a swim, and my favorite side kick 🦶.
My favorite taekwondo kick to use in mma style sparring is to intentionally miss and overshoot the back leg round house, and shoot it into a side kick when my opponent try’s to move in thinking they have my back. Michelle Waterson does this same technique really well.
Ax kick and for sure going to use it.Im a older guy that live's around a lot of young punk's that have made my family's life here in Dallas a living hell. So been looking for a style to toss something they may have not seen before to throw them off some and give me some kind of edge. Like you said your never too old and at 48 I think I still have a few left in me. My son heard one of them call me something and fought him without me around. The guy kicked him over an over when he was down and put him in the hospital so the old man's going to hit the gym again. Hoping by summer's end to put it all to bed and get in shape at the same time. No one like's to get old but if you going to do it may as well go out fighting. Love everything you do and have learned so much from just watching. Can't wait to use that Ax kick though for real,I always catch the other guy with my drop sweep and it's been seen too much. Sorry for the long post just wanted you to know you have been a big help and cant wait to watch more.
That sounds harsh. I guess Dallas is not a nice city to live in many places, but can you not call the police/move somewhere else/call in some other authority? While the actions of your son are understandable, it is just words. The asshole punk just tried to provoke him. He does not have to physically fight him/them. Unfortunately without you cannot change all people around you/fight everyone into submission, so look for a different solution. Constantly having to watch out for yourself does not sound healthy.
I like how he casually protects his head from the kick while he's holding the water bottle at 2:57🧐 He knows never to rely on trust when you can rely on safety measures, and doesn't want to end up in one of those epic fail compilations
Some are are actually muay boran techniques as well. The second is called "kwang yeo lang", or stag/mule kick, and is often used byb saenchai. The third is called "bata loob pak", or "foot on the face". The fourth is the "jarakee fart hang" o "crocodile kick". Although they are not very common in modern muay thai because they are risky, being relatively slow shots, they are very beautiful. Very good video.
Loving the new video format, I didn’t know that Cassie was such a natural on camera! I hope to see her land hat spinning back kick in her next fight back home. Awesome job guys ✊🏼
Used to train TKD for a while but got tall, big and a super heavyweight. So naturally shifted to Muay Thai still using the side kick, turning side kick, wheel kick and stepping. TKD very good stuff if you can combine it with some solid boxing and shin kicks.
I was contemplating on either Kyokushin or Muay Thai. After watching this, I'm definitely joining a Muay Thai gym. I wasn't sure if these types of kicks would be accepted during training.
Most karate gyms are mcdojos however the that arent still might not allow punches to the face or leg kicks if you find one thats does you hit the jackpot
just 2 small things : 1/ the spining back kick has 2 variant, the one you show wich is good when oponent is not too close or not coming at you (also is good as you can change the kick once armed if you need to improvise). but in case of the oponent coming to you or too close you can do the one where you pass the feet as close as possible from the knee and then heel kick, for this one you only turn 90degree less (in tkd we call them 1/ dora yop tchagui 2/ dora duit tchagui) 2/ the spining weel kick, can be made with the leg straight or you can turn with the leg "folded" then make a hook at the impact (madolio furio tchagui and mandolio nacko tchagui). when you do it with the legstraight it s important to put the leg as qui a possible n the back (to make a new kick), when the leg is armed and rearmed technique it allow you to put the leg in front or even make a dolyo tchagui if you missed. Once again it depeds how you bring it and the distance.
This was a great watch. I've used spin kicks/roundhouse kicks in a previous martial art and was curious if muay thai even has the option to even use that in sparring.
@@thedude8227 I've bee doing tkd and boxing for almost 3 years and one thing I've always seen from my people (American) is that they love to lean back and swing like a windmill
Way back in the 90's we used a kick we call a '"double roundhouse", which is very similar to what is now known as the Question Mark Kick. Basically you fake a rear leg 45 and swivel to a high Roundhouse.
For me, hill kick with the back leg was always effective. I fired a few roundhouse kicks to set up my hill kick. So started my hill kick wide, like a Thai kick style roundhousewhen and I turn it into a hill kick. The worst what one of my sparing partners did is. He tried to turn his head away from the roundhouse kick, right into my hill kick. Another trick with hill kick is to set it up with a jab. Another of my favorite fake combo is. I start with a back leg thai kick and I over spin, so my back facing my opponent and then with the same leg I fire a back kick. It is very effective, especially when my sparring partner moves forward. One more. Fake the front kick with a back leg to the body, and then turn it into a roundhouse kick. Have a nice kicking.
@@seanfagan Thanks for fast rep.I'm doing muay thai 5 times in row then rest two days (weekend).What meal is good to start the day before the workout ? My training begins in 9:00-10:00 so I usually wake up at like 7:30.And also which vegetables,fruits and supplements are good for muay thai?
nemoj me marat buraz i typically train fasted for my morning training or just have a coconut water or banana. But I’ll try to make a video in the near future to go more in-depth. Beets, tumeric, spinach and apples are always a good choice as they are more or less superfoods and have anti inflammatory properties. For supplements I use PNP supplements and just take post training protein and recovery mix
My favorite Taekwondo kick is the back kick in Muay Thai or Kicboxing sparring. It is the strongest kick in martial arts and devastates people and so many people have no clue it is coming, don't know how to do it, or understand it.
Some taekwondo classes and you'll learn them. The only problem is that in the USA (if that's where you're from), there aren't many adult TKD schools. The back kick is an extremely powerful kick by those who know how to use it well.
Awesome video. I'm a tkd black belt and I must say that Scot Adkins videos are the best one. Example... side kick, kicking from the flor not from the chamber, while Joe Rogan's side k. and TURNING side k are out of this world. While the women on the video understands the tehniques, the demo wasn't good. Exemple, there is stiffl-legged spinning back kick, the tradicional one is performed while the knee is tucked and just before the connection is released and also the spinning leg must rotate on the fingers, but that aint easy sometimes because of the matt material... Axe kick has more varirations and also starts with the knee tucked. Tornado k has only one movement with no extra skip. I may shit too much, but dont show someting that is not well understood from your side. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Much love from Croatia.
Great video! The "axe kick" can be done with an inside crescent instead of an outside crescent, that way they think you are throwing a roundkick (because of the angle it starts from)
@@silent_fluo6917 depends on your flexibility, i can kick anyone about my height on the top f the head with one, thats the point of the "axe" part of it... Its chopping down... But uf they are too tall for that, aim to the collarbone, its one of the easiest bones to break with one of those kicks
The side kick and back kick are perfect additions for a punch/teep pyramid, but my favorite taekwondo kicks to adapt to muay thai are the "fast kick" (lead-leg roundhouse kick--it might not hit as hard as a switch kick but the speed and range are better), and the crescent kick and regular non-spinning hook kick (because their trajectories are just *so* unorthodox compared to the usual muay thai package and they're natural extensions of the check as I perform it)
My favorite it’s the side kick too. It’s not a very complex move, so it’s easy to do it. But you need to be on your sides, and in that position sometimes is hard for you to defend against your opponents kicks. But still, as Sean felt it, it’s very powerful.
master sken was teaching us these kicks along with muay thai in the 80s in the uk to this day ive not seen anyone who can execute muay thai techniques to the level he can.
@@seanfagan on youtube 2 come to mind one titled Master Sken video the other is Master Sken BUDO GALA...THERES OTHERS SEAN....The first time i seen him was in 1980 he jumped up and kicked a light in a room about 11feet ...ive trained with saenchai and samart both incredible muay thai fighters ...but his kicking is something else and stuff i witnessed him do in sparring was unreal and i came from a karate background..
I am learning muay thai now, but check the old video: j.g. finch kickboxing. It is a jump spinning axe kick. You land it you can mess people up. I like to create my own kicks and try them in sparring. I go do different gyms to learn new stuff. Random martials arts too lol. But anyway the capoeria wheel kick is even more deadly because it is lower to the ground and your whole body goes into the kick.
The spin hook kick is better with all heel without pointing your toes and pulling the front of your foot/toes back. In Tang Soo Do they do both, toes pointed and toes and foot pulled back and only the heel connects with the head. That’s how I do it and it lands all the time. You also have to set up spin kicks to camouflage them. Any advanced kicker is not going to just let you spin and land the kick and after the kick you have to follow up with another kick in case you miss! If not you will get countered and you have no defense!
I enjoy throwing the side kick off either a failed/missed leg kick of just fake the leg kick and throw the side kick with the same leg. Catches people all the time!
I lil odd but I implement a jump spinning back kick into my sparring sessions some times. It’s a nice body shot to gain space if ur opponent is getting too close
My favorite Teakwondo Kick is the Ap Chagi, the frontkick landed with the ball of the foot. Its really effective to keep the opponents away and if you put all your weight in (I have 115 kg), it can be devastating. Many guys try to catch the leg. While trying to catch, they forget their guard and you can follow up with a snap kick, the dolyo badak chagi. It looks like 2:41, but without the whole body rotation. I get the energy out of my hip. Usually it doesn't end up with a K. O. but its a hard Slap for the opponent and I don't eat a low kick while the opponent holds my leg. But I kick with the sole of the foot, because I don't want to hurt my heel, while accidently hitting his skull.
Yea those kicks add up over time and can be really frustrating. Plus like you said, it sets up some good openings if you get your opponent reacting to it
@@seanfagan I guess this is the key. A counter - in my opinion - is not for knocking the opponent out, but for crossing his plan. He needs a second or two, to orient and this is the moment for rushing in with a reckless offense. To be countered In this specific time slot, I guess it's very unlikely.
funny enough, but almost never used in taekwondo competition, no idea why. easiest, fastest, not strongest, but you don't need too much power to ko someone.
Best heel kick I saw was when badr hari landed it in K1. Joe rogan did an article in combat magazine years ago where he talked about how his taekwondo helped him with Muay Thai.
Just an observation Sean (and Cassie) the spinning back kick is not the same as the side kick - "Dwit Chagi". There is a version which is called the spinning side kick - Bandae Yop Chagi (which is what you're doing), but in the actual spinnin back kick your body doesnt end sideways, your back should be facin the opponent and the force come from the spin and from the power of your kick that goes straight towards the opponent and your upper body going the opposite way.
You can pull off a faster axe kick if you chamber your leg by bringing the knee up and only extending it when it's at the top. If you raise it all extended it'll be slower and you'll use more energy.
Sean Fagan, I have a technical question, based on my following idea: over a year ago, decided that I would never again lock out my joints (shoulder, elbow, knee) during any movement in life (other than light streching), to protect me from pain, luxation and hyper-extension, and I would actively do so by REDUCING my range of motion, considering that the benefit is worth the cost; and by also tensing the shoulder that is not swinging a punch, since it can also pop out just from relative motion of the rest of the body. I find it is working great for me, and I am becoming much stronger, since everything is now harder (for example, doing a handstand with bent arms is much harder than with locked out elbows; same with push-ups, forefoot running and walking, etc). So I wonder why fighters, who are in the greatest danger from external interaction causing them injury when they have locked-out joints, do not apply this principle many times, expecially in sports like karate and taekwondo. I would like to know if you think that an axe kick could be performed effectively without locking out the leg at the beggining of the motion, and the same with spinning heel kicks; and even teeps need attention, since they start bent, but usually end in locked-out position, which opens a window of danger. Of course if I train BJJ or the likes, my opponent will try to force me into these positions, but at least I won't help him into them, and I will tap if they succeed in putting me into the danger zone.
Interesting thought dude. I think the biggest risk for TMA practitioners in that regard is when we do the whole kicking in the air thing (ie, not on a pad/person). .that's when I worry about hyperextension and now pull my kicks/punches a bit. In actual fighting I don't think about it given that a strike should be landing before full extension anyway. That said.. I'm more concious of not locking out my standing leg for things like push kicks because I've had some close moments there.
I like to use the sidekick, spinning heel kick, tornado and turning back kick. But my spinning heel is the one I love the most cause I can shoot that kick out from anywhere and knock people out with it.
I trained taekwondo for about 3 years and when I started with kickboxing I noticed that I landed much harder and faster kicks. I land more kicks because of it so if you want to get good kicks train taekwondo
Not true at all,Muay Thai where the power kicks come from,taekwondo is good for flexibility and kicking speed but lot then have girly kicks no power and fact fight with hands down asking to get punched in the face,they have no boxing skills at all,better off with karate as they better with there hands still do all kicks and sweeps,but Muay Thai is for real knockout fighting hardly any rules and tough,although one thing hate about Muay Thai is they never work on footwork decide to take damage checking to much,
I don't recall whether it's a Taekwondo kick, but I actually like the Brazilian kick. Not for any kind of power technique but more for scoring points (since sport fighting is mostly about outscoring your opponent with the knockout being just a bonus more than anything).
@@seanfagan I was able to do a little bit of it. I live in Cincinnati and it's not quite warm enough to go outside but I'll let you know how well the lengthened version goes in the next few weeks! I'm excited. I needed to add a little bit to my repertoire and thanks to you, I can!
Nice, all kicks I already practice XD I love the spinning heel kick most, to the head, torso or even the legs. People usually don't expect it to hit on the legs, so it can be quite effective. And it hurts. Well leg kicks always hurt tbh. A tornado kick attempt can be punished hard, so I'd only use it if my opponent is backing up after a missed roundhouse, if he just leans back...nah better not. But that's just my opinion
The round house can be executed so you can double strike the opponent. The first kick is not a fake kick. If the opponent isn't in a defensive position you can strike with the "fake kick". You have to make them believe in the first kick. That's how you pull of a round house.
Look at the old muay thai clip, or just study it well and you will know that this pose is in muay thai You just call it differently Thai = Teep You = Push kick Thai = Jorakae Fad hang You = wheel kick what’s generally known is Muaythai that the original fighting style was developed and refined from the 1200s to the 1600s But Tae kwon do was developed by General Choi in the 1940's as a combination of a Korean form, taek kyon, and the Japanese

Edson Barboza spinning heel kick vs Terry Etim
Agree 💯
Anything from the jet urquides at his prime... Maybe some crocop but thats raw power.
I like these from TKD:
1.Jumping double roundhouse,first to the thigh+other leg to the head.(alt. faking the first kick and just jumping for the headkick ,better for covering long distance)
2.Front leg sidekick(skipping for longer distance) - back leg back kick.
3.Front leg skipping outer cresent kick to the head(to close distance and break guard) - back leg roundhouse to the ribs.
4.Faking roundhouse to the ribs - same leg kick to the head.
for defense:
5.Defending with a back kick; jump backwards and pivot to your own stomach side - execute back kick.
6.Defending with back leg roundhouse; jump backwards drawing your front leg back - execute roundhouse kick with back leg.

As a tkd guy, there should be no pause when doing spinning techniques. Completing the kick and looking at the target happens in one motion (although step by step is good practice). You usually fully look back by the time your leg is chambered and ready to throw ✌️
My most favorite tkd techniques are all of them, as a person who does muay thai with a tkd background, I've applied tkd techniques to muay thai in a sparring match, all of them are useful, but I recommend using side push kicks the most because it's really good with keeping your distance and hitting good body blows.
I practiced tae Kwon do and now I train Muay Thai. I use the side kick to keep distance and the spining kick to counter strike both work really well. Also the spining heel kick can put you to sleep but is very technical. Great video
Try to avoid these little jumps during the tornado kick.
haha. saw that too
yeah she was probably doing it slowly so the people could see (can't do it slowmo otherwise), but the art of that kick is doing it one motion in order to 'save' a lost roundhouse kick and harnessing its momentum.
Not round but back kick. If you get to "turn" before hitting youre doing it wrong; wasting time, poyecting, is easy to block and leave you exposed. Capoeira being the whorst example... 80s karate movies the most common. Tkd has its flaws (hands wise) but we see those in slo mo. They do take the upper body away, wich is a + sometimes
The quality is outstanding Sean, congratulations
I just saw a video where Cassie tells her story. Humbling.
Nick Garrity she has an incredible story and is a true inspiration to those battling addiction. I’m super grateful to have her as a friend
For me the 'snap' roundhouse to the head would be in there. Lacks the power of the Muay Thai kick but it's faster and comes in at an angle MT/Kickboxers aren't so used to if they've never done TKD/TSD. And while it isn't as powerful as the MT kick the snap can still put somebody down if it lands clean.
Yea the snap roundhouse is definitely hard to see coming and can do some serious damage
That is a tricky one for sure, sometimes the more experienced guys are used to a certain timing and trajectory of the kick. Good idea.
For sure it throws the timing off and you can tell when you see their face (if you didnt knock them out) and theyre like "where the fuck was the switch at?"lol
Head kicks don't need a tonne of power to KO anyway.
Mines 3 favorite kicks are the tornado kick the side kick and the spinning back kick
My top 3 TKD kicks to use in K1 (because I can't pick just 1 I love them all), are the jump spinning back kick, the spinning hook kick and the axe kick, I've landed this one A LOT. As always you made a great video, love it💪
Those are fun kicks to land!
Cassie has such amazing control. She definitely caught Sean off guard with that side kick 😂
Haha yea she did! That stuff is so powerful for a relatively small movement
Its a good thing it was a smaller person and a demonstration because live against somebody you're own size and you know youre going to be apologizing to your ribs the next morning for walking into it.
@@marsoc0326 She was still not using her full speed...I could see that. They're really dangerous without padding lol...
remember the cro cop and andy hug axe kicks, those were brutal!
Hello. I learn tkd when i was in high school. Now i learn muaythai. Tkd basic for muaythai figther is amazing. Thank you for sharing
For practical use, definitely side kick. For flashiness, tornado kick. You can use the side kick to break guard/startle your opponent and follow through with tornado kick from the distance created with the side kick
This girl has super fit legs!!!
And everything else...
"Fuck modeling, Ill be a kickboxer"
I'm a tkd white belt and I've been doing taekwondo for 4 months so my favourite kick that I've learned until now is spinning back kick,thrust kick and double roundhouse and I really loved ur video a lot💖keep it up🤘🤙
For a white belt you've been doing some pretty advanced kicks, did you have any previous martial arts experience?
@@Kettvnen double roundhouse demn...its too advance for white belt
@@rudro5784 spinning back kick is also too advanced for white belt, I'm pretty sure they've done another martial art before
@@Kettvnen yeah,but its easy to learn tho...
@@rudro5784 dude I only started being able to do spinning back kick around blue belt and thrust kick around yellow belt
So cool that video, that steps, explanation, and the environment the wild life, listening to the birds feel like after go for a swim, and my favorite side kick 🦶.
My favorite taekwondo kick to use in mma style sparring is to intentionally miss and overshoot the back leg round house, and shoot it into a side kick when my opponent try’s to move in thinking they have my back. Michelle Waterson does this same technique really well.
A man of culture i see👌🧐
Ax kick and for sure going to use it.Im a older guy that live's around a lot of young punk's that have made my family's life here in Dallas a living hell. So been looking for a style to toss something they may have not seen before to throw them off some and give me some kind of edge. Like you said your never too old and at 48 I think I still have a few left in me. My son heard one of them call me something and fought him without me around. The guy kicked him over an over when he was down and put him in the hospital so the old man's going to hit the gym again. Hoping by summer's end to put it all to bed and get in shape at the same time. No one like's to get old but if you going to do it may as well go out fighting. Love everything you do and have learned so much from just watching. Can't wait to use that Ax kick though for real,I always catch the other guy with my drop sweep and it's been seen too much. Sorry for the long post just wanted you to know you have been a big help and cant wait to watch more.
That sounds harsh. I guess Dallas is not a nice city to live in many places, but can you not call the police/move somewhere else/call in some other authority? While the actions of your son are understandable, it is just words. The asshole punk just tried to provoke him. He does not have to physically fight him/them. Unfortunately without you cannot change all people around you/fight everyone into submission, so look for a different solution. Constantly having to watch out for yourself does not sound healthy.
I like how he casually protects his head from the kick while he's holding the water bottle at 2:57🧐 He knows never to rely on trust when you can rely on safety measures, and doesn't want to end up in one of those epic fail compilations
We discussed this before the shoot - if she KO's me it'll most likely be a viral video so I'd be ok with it 😂
That was her arm
The way she explained that tornado kick! I finally got it!
Nice. Thank you for all the moves.
Some are are actually muay boran techniques as well. The second is called "kwang yeo lang", or stag/mule kick, and is often used byb saenchai. The third is called "bata loob pak", or "foot on the face". The fourth is the "jarakee fart hang" o "crocodile kick". Although they are not very common in modern muay thai because they are risky, being relatively slow shots, they are very beautiful.
Very good video.
Loving the new video format, I didn’t know that Cassie was such a natural on camera! I hope to see her land hat spinning back kick in her next fight back home.
Awesome job guys ✊🏼
Paul Banasiak thanks man! The first week we shot she was a little nervous but I think that watching me fuck up so many times helped ease her nerves 😂
@@seanfagan it takes time for us to get back in the flow as well haha
Used to train TKD for a while but got tall, big and a super heavyweight. So naturally shifted to Muay Thai still using the side kick, turning side kick, wheel kick and stepping. TKD very good stuff if you can combine it with some solid boxing and shin kicks.
I was contemplating on either Kyokushin or Muay Thai. After watching this, I'm definitely joining a Muay Thai gym. I wasn't sure if these types of kicks would be accepted during training.
It depends on the trainer/gym, but yea you can throw whatever works!
Most karate gyms are mcdojos however the that arent still might not allow punches to the face or leg kicks if you find one thats does you hit the jackpot
just 2 small things :
1/ the spining back kick has 2 variant, the one you show wich is good when oponent is not too close or not coming at you (also is good as you can change the kick once armed if you need to improvise). but in case of the oponent coming to you or too close you can do the one where you pass the feet as close as possible from the knee and then heel kick, for this one you only turn 90degree less (in tkd we call them 1/ dora yop tchagui 2/ dora duit tchagui)
2/ the spining weel kick, can be made with the leg straight or you can turn with the leg "folded" then make a hook at the impact (madolio furio tchagui and mandolio nacko tchagui). when you do it with the legstraight it s important to put the leg as qui a possible n the back (to make a new kick), when the leg is armed and rearmed technique it allow you to put the leg in front or even make a dolyo tchagui if you missed. Once again it depeds how you bring it and the distance.
This was a great watch. I've used spin kicks/roundhouse kicks in a previous martial art and was curious if muay thai even has the option to even use that in sparring.
I didn't know you were allowed to use TKD kicks in Muay Thai. Maybe a good option for those who want to not fight kids in America...lol
@@thedude8227 I've bee doing tkd and boxing for almost 3 years and one thing I've always seen from my people (American) is that they love to lean back and swing like a windmill
Way back in the 90's we used a kick we call a '"double roundhouse", which is very similar to what is now known as the Question Mark Kick. Basically you fake a rear leg 45 and swivel to a high Roundhouse.
For me, hill kick with the back leg was always effective. I fired a few roundhouse kicks to set up my hill kick. So started my hill kick wide, like a Thai kick style roundhousewhen and I turn it into a hill kick. The worst what one of my sparing partners did is. He tried to turn his head away from the roundhouse kick, right into my hill kick.
Another trick with hill kick is to set it up with a jab.
Another of my favorite fake combo is. I start with a back leg thai kick and I over spin, so my back facing my opponent and then with the same leg I fire a back kick. It is very effective, especially when my sparring partner moves forward.
One more. Fake the front kick with a back leg to the body, and then turn it into a roundhouse kick.
Have a nice kicking.
I’ve been using a fair amount of hook kicks in muay thai lately- very fun deceptive kick to use
I'm finally able to stretch my body for middle/high kicks and can't wait to add these great kicks into my arsenal.As always great content Sean.
You're very welcome thanks for the support!
@@seanfagan Was wondering,would you ever make a video on muay thai diet?I'm kind of struggling with my breakfast before my muay thai workout.
nemoj me marat buraz I could definitely add that to the list! What specifically would you like to know?
@@seanfagan Thanks for fast rep.I'm doing muay thai 5 times in row then rest two days (weekend).What meal is good to start the day before the workout ? My training begins in 9:00-10:00 so I usually wake up at like 7:30.And also which vegetables,fruits and supplements are good for muay thai?
nemoj me marat buraz i typically train fasted for my morning training or just have a coconut water or banana. But I’ll try to make a video in the near future to go more in-depth.
Beets, tumeric, spinach and apples are always a good choice as they are more or less superfoods and have anti inflammatory properties. For supplements I use PNP supplements and just take post training protein and recovery mix
My favorite Taekwondo kick is the back kick in Muay Thai or Kicboxing sparring. It is the strongest kick in martial arts and devastates people and so many people have no clue it is coming, don't know how to do it, or understand it.
Some taekwondo classes and you'll learn them. The only problem is that in the USA (if that's where you're from), there aren't many adult TKD schools. The back kick is an extremely powerful kick by those who know how to use it well.
Relax, 1/100 ppl do it right. Most you just kick em in the butt while theyre at the peeing dog stance.
Spin kick and Tornado kick, although love all forms of Taekwondo kicks 😀😀
Love your videos Sean. Learning so much from you as I'm learning from home. God bless you brother and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
Awesome video. I'm a tkd black belt and I must say that Scot Adkins videos are the best one. Example... side kick, kicking from the flor not from the chamber, while Joe Rogan's side k. and TURNING side k are out of this world. While the women on the video understands the tehniques, the demo wasn't good. Exemple, there is stiffl-legged spinning back kick, the tradicional one is performed while the knee is tucked and just before the connection is released and also the spinning leg must rotate on the fingers, but that aint easy sometimes because of the matt material... Axe kick has more varirations and also starts with the knee tucked. Tornado k has only one movement with no extra skip. I may shit too much, but dont show someting that is not well understood from your side. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Much love from Croatia.
Highest quality content. Noted. Thank You.
Great video!
The "axe kick" can be done with an inside crescent instead of an outside crescent, that way they think you are throwing a roundkick (because of the angle it starts from)
gingercore69 how does the foot hit the opponent tho? On top of the head or huh?
Tottaly different kicks. Axe is up and down, crescent is an arch either inside or outside.
You can also use youre heel and give'em brain damage.
@@silent_fluo6917 depends on your flexibility, i can kick anyone about my height on the top f the head with one, thats the point of the "axe" part of it... Its chopping down... But uf they are too tall for that, aim to the collarbone, its one of the easiest bones to break with one of those kicks
@@sonkaldo yeah, but you can do the arch until the target is right below the heel and drop it... Thats how i do it...
The side kick and back kick are perfect additions for a punch/teep pyramid, but my favorite taekwondo kicks to adapt to muay thai are the "fast kick" (lead-leg roundhouse kick--it might not hit as hard as a switch kick but the speed and range are better), and the crescent kick and regular non-spinning hook kick (because their trajectories are just *so* unorthodox compared to the usual muay thai package and they're natural extensions of the check as I perform it)
Well said 👏
Very good, thank you! I will use this video to help my daughter practice kicking.
Awesome let me know how she does!
The crescent kick! Clears the guard well and you can spin it too!
That's a good one!
Or the crescent turned into an axe kick harder to predict when it lands... so the oponent gets a little confused... very useful
My favorite Karate and Taekwondo
Favorite kick sidekick backkick roundhousekick
Love all these kicks, but my all time fave is jumping back kick. Same lead up as the tornado kick.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I STOPED TO PRACTICE THIS SPORT, NOW TOO OLD....ANYWAY I LOVE THIS.
Never too old buddy
I’m 42 and I just started
We use all those kicks in capoeira. They are realy strong an that´s why we focus so much in our defence. Thanks for the tips!
That's just a great video of beautiful executions, thank you
My favorite it’s the side kick too. It’s not a very complex move, so it’s easy to do it. But you need to be on your sides, and in that position sometimes is hard for you to defend against your opponents kicks. But still, as Sean felt it, it’s very powerful.
Yea I agree. I like the simplicity to it too
master sken was teaching us these kicks along with muay thai in the 80s in the uk to this day ive not seen anyone who can execute muay thai techniques to the level he can.
I'm not aware of master sken, could you link some videos in the comments?
@@seanfagan on youtube 2 come to mind one titled Master Sken video the other is Master Sken BUDO GALA...THERES OTHERS SEAN....The first time i seen him was in 1980 he jumped up and kicked a light in a room about 11feet ...ive trained with saenchai and samart both incredible muay thai fighters ...but his kicking is something else and stuff i witnessed him do in sparring was unreal and i came from a karate background..
@@stephenboyes5189 Awesome thanks so much for the suggestion!
@@seanfagan i tried send the link on here Sean ...but im not great on computers
I am learning muay thai now, but check the old video: j.g. finch kickboxing. It is a jump spinning axe kick. You land it you can mess people up. I like to create my own kicks and try them in sparring. I go do different gyms to learn new stuff. Random martials arts too lol.
But anyway the capoeria wheel kick is even more deadly because it is lower to the ground and your whole body goes into the kick.
Amazing! 💓 spinning back kick. You both are awesome! 👍😊👍
Thanks so much!
Cassie is so good and her story is amazing too
Feels good knowing both
I do traditional Karate we use some of those kicks great demo.
Thank you!
Need to learn how to mix TKD kicks with the Muay Thai, since i was a former taekwondoin and now im on the kickboxing.
Im no champ, but have been sparring for 10ish years and that spinning wheel kick is the only kick that has nearly ko'd me.
It works like a charm. :)
Yea that stuff is no joke!
The spin hook kick is better with all heel without pointing your toes and pulling the front of your foot/toes back. In Tang Soo Do they do both, toes pointed and toes and foot pulled back and only the heel connects with the head. That’s how I do it and it lands all the time. You also have to set up spin kicks to camouflage them. Any advanced kicker is not going to just let you spin and land the kick and after the kick you have to follow up with another kick in case you miss! If not you will get countered and you have no defense!
my favorite the question mark kick
Very good thanks
Thank you for a show of outstandig and usefull striking techniques! Greatly appreciated and noted. Your sills are superb.
Thanks so much!
I enjoy throwing the side kick off either a failed/missed leg kick of just fake the leg kick and throw the side kick with the same leg. Catches people all the time!
Same here!
I lil odd but I implement a jump spinning back kick into my sparring sessions some times. It’s a nice body shot to gain space if ur opponent is getting too close
My favorite Teakwondo Kick is the Ap Chagi, the frontkick landed with the ball of the foot.
Its really effective to keep the opponents away and if you put all your weight in (I have 115 kg), it can be devastating.
Many guys try to catch the leg. While trying to catch, they forget their guard and you can follow up with a snap kick, the dolyo badak chagi. It looks like 2:41, but without the whole body rotation. I get the energy out of my hip. Usually it doesn't end up with a K. O. but its a hard Slap for the opponent and I don't eat a low kick while the opponent holds my leg.
But I kick with the sole of the foot, because I don't want to hurt my heel, while accidently hitting his skull.
Yea those kicks add up over time and can be really frustrating. Plus like you said, it sets up some good openings if you get your opponent reacting to it
@@seanfagan I guess this is the key. A counter - in my opinion - is not for knocking the opponent out, but for crossing his plan.
He needs a second or two, to orient and this is the moment for rushing in with a reckless offense.
To be countered In this specific time slot, I guess it's very unlikely.
funny enough, but almost never used in taekwondo competition, no idea why. easiest, fastest, not strongest, but you don't need too much power to ko someone.
Best heel kick I saw was when badr hari landed it in K1. Joe rogan did an article in combat magazine years ago where he talked about how his taekwondo helped him with Muay Thai.
Can u use some taekwonfo kicks in Muay thai
Just an observation Sean (and Cassie) the spinning back kick is not the same as the side kick - "Dwit Chagi". There is a version which is called the spinning side kick - Bandae Yop Chagi (which is what you're doing), but in the actual spinnin back kick your body doesnt end sideways, your back should be facin the opponent and the force come from the spin and from the power of your kick that goes straight towards the opponent and your upper body going the opposite way.
You can pull off a faster axe kick if you chamber your leg by bringing the knee up and only extending it when it's at the top. If you raise it all extended it'll be slower and you'll use more energy.
Thanks for the tip!
Best heel kick KO ever to me was the one Barboza landed on Etim. Really clean.
Yea that was as sexy as it gets!
My favorite kick is either the snap kick or sidekick.
Another great video
Sean Fagan, I have a technical question, based on my following idea: over a year ago, decided that I would never again lock out my joints (shoulder, elbow, knee) during any movement in life (other than light streching), to protect me from pain, luxation and hyper-extension, and I would actively do so by REDUCING my range of motion, considering that the benefit is worth the cost; and by also tensing the shoulder that is not swinging a punch, since it can also pop out just from relative motion of the rest of the body. I find it is working great for me, and I am becoming much stronger, since everything is now harder (for example, doing a handstand with bent arms is much harder than with locked out elbows; same with push-ups, forefoot running and walking, etc). So I wonder why fighters, who are in the greatest danger from external interaction causing them injury when they have locked-out joints, do not apply this principle many times, expecially in sports like karate and taekwondo. I would like to know if you think that an axe kick could be performed effectively without locking out the leg at the beggining of the motion, and the same with spinning heel kicks; and even teeps need attention, since they start bent, but usually end in locked-out position, which opens a window of danger. Of course if I train BJJ or the likes, my opponent will try to force me into these positions, but at least I won't help him into them, and I will tap if they succeed in putting me into the danger zone.
Interesting thought dude. I think the biggest risk for TMA practitioners in that regard is when we do the whole kicking in the air thing (ie, not on a pad/person). .that's when I worry about hyperextension and now pull my kicks/punches a bit. In actual fighting I don't think about it given that a strike should be landing before full extension anyway. That said.. I'm more concious of not locking out my standing leg for things like push kicks because I've had some close moments there.
I like to use the sidekick, spinning heel kick, tornado and turning back kick. But my spinning heel is the one I love the most cause I can shoot that kick out from anywhere and knock people out with it.
Yea that kick has some serious power behind it!
Good video brother
I trained taekwondo for about 3 years and when I started with kickboxing I noticed that I landed much harder and faster kicks. I land more kicks because of it so if you want to get good kicks train taekwondo
Taekwondo is the best way to get better kick skill, same in case with boxing to get better punch
@@lonehawk2751 Zinger!
Not true at all,Muay Thai where the power kicks come from,taekwondo is good for flexibility and kicking speed but lot then have girly kicks no power and fact fight with hands down asking to get punched in the face,they have no boxing skills at all,better off with karate as they better with there hands still do all kicks and sweeps,but Muay Thai is for real knockout fighting hardly any rules and tough,although one thing hate about Muay Thai is they never work on footwork decide to take damage checking to much,
Wow😍! I love you both😘!
Never thought of using the tornado kick off of a missed roundhouse. Very interesting stuff!
It can be a lot of fun once you figure out how to do it
Good video ty
Her tornado kick is in another level.
I don't recall whether it's a Taekwondo kick, but I actually like the Brazilian kick. Not for any kind of power technique but more for scoring points (since sport fighting is mostly about outscoring your opponent with the knockout being just a bonus more than anything).
add crescent kicks and front kicks to chin next time it is useful in sparring sessions as a surprise offense in mid range
Spinning Bird Kick ftw!
Can't wait to use these in my training!
Let me know how it goes!
@@seanfagan I was able to do a little bit of it. I live in Cincinnati and it's not quite warm enough to go outside but I'll let you know how well the lengthened version goes in the next few weeks! I'm excited. I needed to add a little bit to my repertoire and thanks to you, I can!

@@seanfagan no Sean, thank you for the help.
if a guy is good at both muay and TKd, pretty versatile
Thankyou guys brill video
My favorite kick is jumping spin wheel kick and turning back kick.
Yea those two are definitely fun to throw!
Are these kicks considered illegal in a muay thai match?
Nice, all kicks I already practice XD
I love the spinning heel kick most, to the head, torso or even the legs.
People usually don't expect it to hit on the legs, so it can be quite effective.
And it hurts. Well leg kicks always hurt tbh.
A tornado kick attempt can be punished hard, so I'd only use it if my opponent is backing up after a missed roundhouse, if he just leans back...nah better not.
But that's just my opinion
Andy Hug was great at that spinning heel kick to the leg. So sneaky!
@@seanfagan nice I am gonna check him out, thanks
Side kick and Spinning back kick
Those are two good ones!
Cassie💖❤💖
The round house can be executed so you can double strike the opponent. The first kick is not a fake kick. If the opponent isn't in a defensive position you can strike with the "fake kick". You have to make them believe in the first kick. That's how you pull of a round house.
Look at the old muay thai clip, or just study it well and you will know that this pose is in muay thai You just call it differently Thai = Teep You = Push kick Thai = Jorakae Fad hang You = wheel kick
what’s generally known is Muaythai that the original fighting style was developed and refined from the 1200s to the 1600s
But Tae kwon do was developed by General Choi in the 1940's as a combination of a Korean form, taek kyon, and the Japanese
Awesome!!
Thank you!
