  • I've worked with a couple people who couldn't understand why they are always out of range after cutting an angle. Today I help explain what you should be looking to do to properly angle and still be able to attack.
    This episode was put together in minutes so please forgive any wind/wave noise.

    When learning a new technique, remember that you have to take 2 steps back before you can take a step forward. If you learn something new and then incorporate it into your own style it takes time, and while you're installing that technique program into your brain, you have to understand that you will regress at first. Once you have incorporated it into your style to the point that you do it unconsciously, without even thinking, only then will you have taken that next step. That is why technique training is so important, to condition yourself into doing something awkward until it becomes second nature to you.

      True. It's easy to get discouraged when a learner expects to hit a certain level too quickly. Some things do have different learning curves to overcome.

    If a fighter can punch very hard, does that usually mean he can also kick very hard?
    or have you fought fighters who can only punch hard but have weak kicks? or fighters with weak punches but hard kicks?

      Well I trained initially in Taekwondo and my kicks became very strong. However my punches were weak. My punches have been getting stronger lately since I've taken up boxing for about a year but still weak compared to my kicks. So I'd say it really depends on what people train.

      @@stanclark3992 I went to a Taekwondo school for years before boxing. Taekwondo specializes in kicks because of that punches were not a primary focus. For instance Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specializes in grappling and they don't focus on punches at all. Their focus is on submissions (chokes, arm bars, etc.). Because of this my kicks became much more refined and I learned how to properly transfer the power from hips/body into them whereas for punches I didn't learn fully how to make my punches snap, how to throw a hook properly, correct distance for maximum power with each punch, etc. Honestly I think that I learned stuff backwards I think learning how to punch first and then kick is probably the smarter way to go or both at the same time along with some grappling if you want to use it for self-defense.

      @@zacharyspencer2285 Hi Zachery. TKD\s Kicking Specialization. Yes, the emphasis on kicking is a a convention of how TKD has come to be practiced. Agreed.
      TKD the art, however, hand techniques are a major portion of the standard technical curriculum. In fact, the name TKD means "hand fist way." So one can follow convention, or one can follow art.🙂
      TKD Punching. Learn punching first... yes... and that is what the traditional karate model does. The modern traditional karate models, inc. it's relations generally all teach hand techniques before kicks. Kicks are much harder to do... and it should be a building block approach as you suggest.
      "Hooks & BJJ." The traditional karate model, inc. TKD, has hook punches... but karate or TKD is not boxing... different martial theory. Karate/TKD staple is the linear punch for a host of scientific reasons. On the BJJ (grappling), the traditional karate model does have a rudimentary grappling component... but yes, grappling is not the focus. The curriculum was simplified by Okinawan's in the late 1800s, to make it more practical to a wider range of participant... and to make the fewer techniques, readily able to do better.
      Self Defense. Part of the move away from karate's historic grappling... grappling is riskers & more difficult to pull of in actual conflict. One of the Gracie's in Bellator MMA just admitted so, when he recently lost a title fight because his BJJ Guard didn't live up to expectations. Striking is much more efficient & reliable... and I believe the master's had this in mind when they narrowed the curriculum. It's hard enough to get karate or TKD skill into one's striking... that's a mouthful I'm sure you appreciate. 😎CHEERS.
