It seems to be a real rib breaker. I threw a sidekick on the blast shield that could knock anyone - even an NFL lineman across the room. But when my TKD instructor (a small 145lb 6th-degree master) threw his sidekick, it was like a bullet concentrated into a couple of square inches and it damn near broke my arm through the pad.
That’s the cool thing with muay thai. Anyone can train with Samart, Saenchai, Sangtiennoi, Yodsenklai, Chanchai, Buakaw, Namsaknoi or whoever your favorite might be.
@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 That's rad. As good as that list is, Samart is still the best of them. Being an elite boxer or Thai fighter alone would be amazing, but he did both at the same time! I've seen him use that kick to pretty much shut opponents down completely.
@@Lymmar The list wasn’t meant as a ranking, it was just a list of well known fighters that it’s possible to train with. Being able to train with legends, or current day top-ranked fighters is one of the things that makes muay thai truly unique. Samart is arguably the best nak muay in history, but I guess that comes down to personal likings and criteria also. It could be Dieselnoi, it could be Apidej... or maybe Somrak? He was an Olympic god winner in boxing in 1996. The bronze medal in his weight class went to a dude named Floyd..
@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 Oh I wasn't trying to argue at all. Sorry! Just got super pumped talking about Samart. I prefer the Jockey gym guys like Lerdsila, because his greatest weapon is just not being scared of getting hit. They all have their strengths, but I feel like on a purely technical level Samart is a genius, even if I prefer more playful fighters. Sorry about the misunderstanding!
This taekwondo instructor is an amazing representative of the WTF style/Kukkiwon. Does he have any videos of him sparring in tournaments in his younger days? His school must be good with sparring too.
Really excited to see how three different versions of a kick that doesn't work...works. Joking aside, I really appreciate these videos and you bringing in people with different approaches to martial arts.
@@bengalihindu as someone who practices it. It is shit. On its own its full of holes especially wtf tkd which is 99% of the market. Itf is a different story its just hard to find
Would've loved to see a human guinea pi- err willing volunteer taking the side teep and the Wonderboy side kicks on pads like we did for the TKD ones, just to get a linear comparison (I know Sensei Seth's ribs might not like that though 😂)
Coming from martial arts then getting into derby (which, honestly? Multi-person combat sport) I really got to appreciate this. Each art is a frame of reference onto the problem of how to do damage (or control an opponent) without taking damage or risking becoming controlled. Each person then uses these frames to figure out how to achieve the goals with their body, their background, and their temperament.
The Taekwondo version is how we we were taught to kick the side kick (yoko geri kekomi) in Shotokan Karate. The emphasis on the chamber prior to and after kicking is a big deal in Shotokan. Please review Masao Kagawa Sensei's or Kawasoe Sensei's side kick delivery.
Really digging the Wonderboy hybridized Donkey Side Kick. Can really see the value as a quick fight ender, when targeting the solar plexus, or just to do some damage, while creating some distance.
The Tae Kwon Do kick is the one I learned. The Muay Thai kick is more like a TKD "Push Kick" (Not meant to hurt, just give you distance). and The Karate side kick was like a back kick... Interesting.
@@amalkrishna1999what do u mean TKD kicks won't hurt? What's the point of it then? TKD kicks are about fast, flexible and remain the distance - which super effective in self-defence. The way you saw the TKD's side kick in the video is not how u actually feel about that kick. If u let a TKD guy land any single kick on u, unless u dodge it, it not gonna feel good
@amalkrishna1999 there's literally a video of this same guy testing the actual power of each martial arts and it turns out the one that hyper specializes in legs would be the strongest (tae kwon do). Actually Seth even said while holding the power testing box that he could feel a very powerful kick hit right through the box onto his gut
Great Video. Love this kick and especially appreciate the breakdown by Wonderboy. A good side kick is like Shang Tsung, it will take your soul (or at least your will to fight)
Great video! The way the muay thai side kick was done with the foot striking at a 45 degree angle is similar to the way I learned the "cut kick" in TKD - just a quick pushing sort of side kick to the hip to get the body to fold and bring the head down, opening it up to attack, or the torso to open be less bladed, also opening it up.
TKD instructor has awesome form and balance. Would not want to get kicked by him. Very cool seeing wonderboy contributing to this channel; humble guy. Fun channel to watch.
Amazing vid, I love it! I'm no expert but it seems to me that these different techniques depend on the starting point of the kick: the stance. Wonderboy has a much sideways stance than a muay thai fighter maybe that's why his foot ends in exactly the opposite of the muay thai fighter, with toes down. Maybe this could be a good topic for your next video, fighting stances and footwork in tkd, muay thai and karate? Thanks for the vid again!
Great video again Sensei Seth! Never been disappointed. Others have already commented what I would have said. But, I bring this up because I think I may be the only one who was distracted by whoever is outside that garage door? LOL! Were they moon walking at one point?!? It then gets more hilarious with the perspective it look like tiny people hanging around. At first I thought they were video bombing. I know this had nothing to do with the content but since all your videos include humor (on purpose) I wanted to point this out. If others have commented about it my apologies. Love it! The video made my day and not just from tiny legs.
Hi Sensei Seth. I hope you are well. Ok, the conversation with Wonderboy at 8:57 about chambering. The reason you chamber in that way (pulling the foot behind the knee) is to block/check a kick, then sidekick as a counter. I hope this helps.
I really like these guys, would love to train with them. I’ve studied Tang Soo Do and Tai Boxing, I always struggled with Korean kicking, was much better at Thai kicking. This has been really interesting.
Okay, the TKD side kick was awesome. I throw mine with the same intention, disguised until the last second, and as a “punch”, not a move-em-back kick. Only mine is slower and not as good, and not as high, and worse-looking.
the technical proficiency breakdown of this video plus the expert yet concise instruction is really well done. and the music comes on BRPTSSS BADAPBAPDADATBADATBAPBOP PERFECT! because I had my volume on max to be able to hear all that great technical instruction. 😂 Now I can choose which side kick I will HAVE to use on my attacker whom I did not hear coming...I'm no longer restrained by one option, or one sense...Excellent lesson! Another great video Sensei Seth! 🙏
I call that sidekick executed by the TKD as Frontal Side kick, a side kick done at the front of the kicker. I thought that a side kick is that kick done or thrust on the side of the kicker; and back kick as a kick extended from behind of kicker.
Ver estos videos... Asustan 😱. Verdaderos artistas marciales en movimiento. Fuerza, velocidad, técnica y potencia. Cuando tiran una patada. Pero me encanta más, la amistad y querer aprender unos de otros
I had he exact same thought. Those sanda side kicks reap through the middle of the guard and into the face. Strong and high. They may be similar in technique to TKD but the application is markedly their own. You just don’t see that in Muay Thai, MMA or tkd fights. This was a superb video but incomplete due to their omission
Hello sir, love your content! It’s the perfect mix of informal and formal. Have you considered getting microphones to wear on your uniforms? It is hard to hear the speaker at times
Nice! Would like to see more variations of the rear leg side kick or even a step in side kick which is beast. Step in side kick to spin side kick/back kick is a favorite combo of mine I use in sparring. Churr Sensei Seth! From your brother down under in New Zealand.
Traditional TKD or ITF by any chance? I took Traditional TKD when I was in college and we did the horizontal chamber, but I recently got back into TKD taking WTF TKD to try and regain some of my lost flexibility and I've since changed to the front chamber of the kicks. It's been an interesting transition for me re-learning my leg placement.
The leaning the body back as a kick is delivered is called Action / Reaction in TKD. It's totally counter intuitive that pushing your body in one direction as you kick or strike in another direction actually works, but it really does! At lower belts, they don't really teach this, because the body can only do basic movements. They teach this at higher belts .. even for spinning kicks. It's always surprising to me how much increase in power this generates. Try it out!
That chambered side kick where you pull the foot in for the chamber first, that’s probably supposed to be hooking the opponents front leg to disrupt their balance, than kicking them. Would only really make sense for a low sidekick though, disrupt their balance then kick the other leg.
Wonderboy’s looks a lot like Don The Dragon Wilson’s sidekick. The Dragon did well with it against everyone, even those who had a Thai boxing background.
From the Philippines Say Hello mate, you make my day better always, your pills of wisdom about the martial arts it's okay for Myself safety have a good one and nice day see you soon until next lesson looking good bro ❤️ cheers 🤗🤣😎🔝
I love side kicks because it's one of the most practical kicks in a real fight situation, whether in sports or in a street fight to keep your opponent or attacker at a safe distance from you to avoid damage as much as possible, most especially if you are well-trained in using side kicks.
The TKD rep really killed it with the sidekick, that is so clean. I would hate to be on the receiving end of all of those kicks though from any of the martial arts in the video!
Interesting to see the different variations of side kick. I train in (ITF) TKD and our side kick is more like wonderboys than the tkd guy you had. Anyone seen Raymond Daniels, he has a nasty side kick.
Just do whatever discipline/s you enjoy as often as you can and have fun. If they conflict in time, maybe focus on one for a period of time. Martial arts is a life long journey and the longer you train a discipline the easier it will be to relate it to all of the others.
tae Kwon do poses a question, what muscle set is stronger? shoulder arm back? or leg hip and glute? this video made a lot of sense. why puch when you can kick?
Yeah, I'm a mauy thai guy who's a Wonderboy groupie. In fact that chamber back is also Samart's Muay Thai technique to avoid the catch after his side teep
@9:25. In karate there is a kick I believe called “kyagi geri” where its like a side kick, but you hit with the blade, and like you demonstrated its like a front kick with your hip turned out. Just to clarify, its not a side kick, but a different kick entirely. I also train a different style though, so I could be wrong in your case
Hi. Looking forward to watching the video. You should do breakdowns of the Ameridote techniques and why they're bad. Sort of like a master Ken does on his show. It would be a pretty funny series.
Wonderboy's seems like a mix of a back kick and a side kick. Do you test your back kicks with the toes pointing down or... is a back side kick good enough?
dude David ***** was the first guy I ever sparred! when i started muay thai, he was out training with us. dude is a monster. awesome to see him in one of your vids!
all due respect to Wonderboy (one of my favorite fighters) the kick he throws at 11:06 (10:52 to 11:08) is what I leaned as a Front Leg (Thrust or Snap) Back Kick which is a distinct and different technique then a Side Kick , yes splitting hairs just saying IMO and the way my 1st Instructor taught it, it was two different kicks
Same with the front kick my style teaches it more of a TKD style. Same reasoning as in the video: you hide what you´re throwing so your opponent odesn´t know if it´s a front kick, side kick, hook kick, roundhouse or anything. Wonderboy´s version looks powerful and fast though so i think i will try it next time i train
am almost sure when i was learning tkd (gold belt), the version we were taught was wonder boys. where you chamber with your heel of the foot to the point of attack and you nearly turning your back to the opponent.
I'm a taekwondo guy, but like my roundhouse kick, according to your video, my sidekick looks more karate than TKD. I'm on my 2nd instructor (first shut down his school because of COVID). Neither one teach the side kick the same way your TKD guy does.
Basically, karate kicks (i personally am shotokan master nominee, but i believe its the same for other styles of karate) are done same way as taekwondo. Hiding your kick. First you get into the Mae-geri (front kick) position (or hiki-ashi, foot raise), and then depending on the technique you rotate your hips and base leg (the one youre standing on) transitioning into other kicks, and transfering power to your target. Now with the kick shown in the video, ushiro-geri (rear kick) you should first get into mae-geri position, rotated with your back towards your target, and then transfer power for your kick wich comes directly from the swing of the kicking leg. Nowdays its done as shown in video for quicker realisation.

Hey sensei Seth you should be in Ufc
This was very good. Personally I have always preferred side kicking from the lead leg. I could never quite get the hang of side kicking with the rear.
You never show Kickboxing
@RED CHUCKS you are wrong.
"Every kick is a leg kick" - Jesse, Founder and Grandmaster of Mexican Martial Arts.
He’s the true master

Agreed
@Mr Lee he hates his arrogance, not him as a person or fighter.
what does that mean tho? all kicks should be kicks to the leg, where they cant be caught?
Wonderboy is in a league of his own when it comes to kicking.
1000%
True..he's got a lot of knowledge and skill re the execution of kicks and a lot of knowledge re sparring in general.
When I hear him, coach, he seems like a top-notch character, too. A cut above.
@@SenseiSeth would love to see you do a video with Bill Superfoot Wallace. He's old, but still ridiculously fast. He's hilarious too.

True that!!
If that kick lands on your ribs it's nighty night for ya.
soda plexus is not necessary. Just to the ribs, maybe you hit liver and good night.

It is really amazing that all 3 styles were using a lot of the theories superfoot was using/teaching years ago.

Thank you Sensei Seth for sharing great content, much respect to you, God bless.
Man, this video Is amazing. Thank you.
tae Kwon do poses a question, what muscle set is stronger? shoulder arm back? or leg hip and glute? this video made a lot of sense. why puch when you can kick?
Yeah, I'm a mauy thai guy who's a Wonderboy groupie. In fact that chamber back is also Samart's Muay Thai technique to avoid the catch after his side teep
7:54 wasn't expecting that
@9:25. In karate there is a kick I believe called “kyagi geri” where its like a side kick, but you hit with the blade, and like you demonstrated its like a front kick with your hip turned out. Just to clarify, its not a side kick, but a different kick entirely. I also train a different style though, so I could be wrong in your case
Hi. Looking forward to watching the video. You should do breakdowns of the Ameridote techniques and why they're bad. Sort of like a master Ken does on his show. It would be a pretty funny series.
Haha that would be interesting 👀
@@SenseiSeth yeah and you could also end every move with a sidekick even though they don't work
Hahaha I’m down
@@SenseiSeth do it and you're cool. No martial artist is cool we are all nerds
True that 😂
I am so thankful for your tips videos! Liked and subscribed! Thanks alot.
Some excellent side kick techniques
Yea they killed it!
This intro where Stephen kicks you on the temple never gets old 😍😂
Right? 😂😂
Love this "How Different Martial Arts" series! Could you do a video about the Jab or the hook?
Wonderboy's seems like a mix of a back kick and a side kick. Do you test your back kicks with the toes pointing down or... is a back side kick good enough?
It depends on their stance! Some people are more comfortable in more square stances!
thats the way some forms of american kenpo do the side kick
@@joejazz67 Better not let Seth catch you using the wrong k word🤔
True that lol
Nice 👍
dude David ***** was the first guy I ever sparred! when i started muay thai, he was out training with us. dude is a monster. awesome to see him in one of your vids!
Matt?
@@SenseiSeth lmao sorry. David****
@@SenseiSeth not sure what I was thinking saying Matt. Lmao. Anyways, yeah man in Raleigh, NC.
Okay, we need to see Icy Mike with these dudes.
Would be fun!!
He would disappear. Too small
Ah the best of the kicks a true masterpiece
all due respect to Wonderboy (one of my favorite fighters) the kick he throws at 11:06 (10:52 to 11:08) is what I leaned as a Front Leg (Thrust or Snap) Back Kick which is a distinct and different technique then a Side Kick , yes splitting hairs just saying IMO and the way my 1st Instructor taught it, it was two different kicks
TKD be praised! TKD foreva
Same with the front kick my style teaches it more of a TKD style. Same reasoning as in the video: you hide what you´re throwing so your opponent odesn´t know if it´s a front kick, side kick, hook kick, roundhouse or anything. Wonderboy´s version looks powerful and fast though so i think i will try it next time i train
am almost sure when i was learning tkd (gold belt), the version we were taught was wonder boys. where you chamber with your heel of the foot to the point of attack and you nearly turning your back to the opponent.
I'm a taekwondo guy, but like my roundhouse kick, according to your video, my sidekick looks more karate than TKD. I'm on my 2nd instructor (first shut down his school because of COVID). Neither one teach the side kick the same way your TKD guy does.
when I first came to this channel and I heard you say side kicks don't work I was confused because the side kick is my favorite kick
Haha it’s just a meme 👍👍
Basically, karate kicks (i personally am shotokan master nominee, but i believe its the same for other styles of karate) are done same way as taekwondo. Hiding your kick. First you get into the Mae-geri (front kick) position (or hiki-ashi, foot raise), and then depending on the technique you rotate your hips and base leg (the one youre standing on) transitioning into other kicks, and transfering power to your target. Now with the kick shown in the video, ushiro-geri (rear kick) you should first get into mae-geri position, rotated with your back towards your target, and then transfer power for your kick wich comes directly from the swing of the kicking leg. Nowdays its done as shown in video for quicker realisation.
I like the Taekwondo side kick the best
Muay Thai's are definitely the most practical
@david ludwig There is a reason its pretty much the only side kick we see being used
@@ben1ben2ben1 because it's the easiest ._.
@@alaing.b.5421 And the most effective BY FAR. Few high level fighters use fucking side kicks
@@ben1ben2ben1 Yes, only few because they want a challenge. Hit the balls is the supreme attack, easy and effective and nobody uses it xD.
