Spanish accent from Spain. Great video. I'm 58 and still practicing since I was 14. I realize watching the video that you don't have any problem of mobility, but you did it for people who do. Thank you.
Really great. One tip I was taught that might be useful: Wherever the guy's shoulders are is where his feet are, so there's no need to look down to see where his lower leg or knee is. His shoulder tells you where to aim.
I witnessed a 72 year old man literally chin check and mop drag an 18 and 22 year old youngsters at a bar , quite violently and quickly. Old man wasn't having it.
I'm 64 and have been kickboxing my whole life. I'm lucky as I can still kick over head height. I love low kicks but I'll be eternally grateful to Bill Wallace and his flexibility routines
As I say, I love low kicks. The above head height thing is purely for flexibility and balance which makes actual head height kicks easy and comfortable. Yesterday we practiced front kicks to the chin and I still have focus and power.
I’m 71 and have practiced martial arts for 63 years. I used to be able to roundhouse kick over the top of anyone’s head, I used to be able to go hard for 10 minutes without dropping… now I have MAYBE 30 seconds and I’m finished. I can’t kick higher than anyones belly so I have perfected a few Fairbairn style moves and also study the Bubishi intently for strike points. I pity anyone attacking me because they won’t see it coming and I won’t be there when they get up. I have the inside limit of 10 seconds to do or die. Practice a LOT and HARD.
Hi, I am 64 and can't kick higher anymore than to the belt line. I prefer Mae Geri Keage, Fukomi Geri and Gedan Mawashi Geri. But I use then often with Tai Sabaki to get out of the line of attack and to have more targets... 😊 Thanks for this helpful Vid! A lot of Greetings from Germany
Actually, very effective kicks. At age 65, my old Taekwondo kick skills are very limited, but those low kicks combined with Wing-Chun fist and hand blows and Judo throws, that I practice three times a week, make me feel confident enough. Greetings from Spain, dear colleagues.
Und deine Schusswaffen hast du immer greifbar?Was machst du z.b.in der Bahn.Du kannst da nicht abdrücken weil selbst wenn du triffst nicht ausgeschlossen ist das die Kugel durchschlägt und unbeteiligte Verletzt. Ganz davon abgesehen wenn du nicht triffst z.b.auch auf größerem Raum.Die Kugel fliegt km weit.Und denk an Querschläger.Auch wenn ich Waffen super finde zur Verteidigung. Du musst ihre Stärken und Schwächen und ihre Gefahren für dich und Unbeteiligte Bedenken.Es ist immer gut so viel Wissenbund Können wie Möglich anzusammeln.Mit Waffen ab auch Waffenlos.
As a 71 year old, I am grateful for you to take the time to make this video. What is your opinion of an oblique kick to an opponent’s knee, as a preemptive first strike?
At 75 it’s odd to hear you state 44 is old…my kicks were solid till in my 50’s, fought my last tournament at 48 and in the finals beat the lightweight national TKD champion, 44 is not old. 😊
I am new to this channel and I celebrated my 47th Birthday on Monday. I am a smaller guy compared to most, unfortunately! So it feels like being a smaller guy we need to get everything right against a larger attacker just to stand a chance. Meanwhile, all they need is one chance. So i go for vital areas or use weapons as an equalizer
Excellent video! Keep these coming… great delivery with great team work. No egos which as we know always get in the way. Myself a 4th Dan in Ju Jitsu it’s very clear adaptation on the aging process is always overlooked. Have subscribed!!
A good kick I learned in Kara ho kempo when attacked from behind is the mule kick with a concurrent knife hand, both targeting the groin at once. As noted in this demo, the low kicks still having vulnerability. However, stepping off at a 45 degree angle just before executing a low kick allows you to veer from his punch.

I can thankfully stiil kick like I did 20 years ago. However, the Gracie Jiujitsu pisao kick is a great tool. Also, look up Rick Roufus vs. Chitsongrit. That fight exemplifies the effectiveness of low kicks used in conjunction with great footwork. Best wishes. The Thai fighter had one kick and won with it.
. Great Subject . This is just me , but I never practice bringing my rear kicking leg back to where it came from . If I'm power kicking it mean I'm in in attack mode and the kick is part of my entry . If I plant it back I'm undoing any advantage the kick bought me plus my weight is now going the wrong way if my opponent charges during or after my kick . Planting back is a sporting version of kicking where you are sometimes trying to maintain distance not close it . The reason I bring this up is at my age , 58, my balance isn't as good as it was so even if I DID want to plant it back its even riskier now so I don't want to create a training scar .
You might be kicking to create distance, maintain it or close it and absolutely if you're closing distance then this is a great tactic and something we also train👍🏻 thanks Brad for sharing
Good point, for quite a while I have thought this. When I was taking martial arts classes in my 40s I could never kick high. One of the top students was an older guy who had been a black belt in judo and was now a black in karate and I was encouraged by the fact that he was not flexible and could not kick high at all. Now I'm 73 and still pretty spry.
Earned my Black Belt in my home state of Texas in my 30's. (now in my 60's) A GOOD kicking school. Y'all better learn to get them hands up is all I got to say.

Phonetics and accents are difficult to change when you start learning a language with 34 amigo ... Plus people around me understand me without problems (and they have actually they also do have a different phonetic than the people in your area... Which means things are even more complicated) But in any case, thanks for the advice, the feedback and for watching!
Oh my, to be 44 once again, nevertheless very well done and appropriate to those of us a bit older, 70+, as can be seen from the other comments below. As you pointed out, even with the flexibility to throw somewhat higher kicks, waist high/stomach,hip... the lack of power or speed, or both can easily get one's foot or leg grabbed. Keeping it low can avoid getting toppled and still deliver something that may likely save the day.
"44" is not old. It was funny hearing this. When I was 44 I could kick fairly well at all heights. Now in my 60s I've lowered my kicks for use in self defense. As for hands, more eye finger jabs, throat with knuckles (leopard punch), anything nasty that will get me and loved ones home safe.
I am 83 and can still kick jodan mae geri. My fav kick is jodan keage. In the dojo years ago i also used a hard shin kick ,followed up with a reverse punch . I am lucky i still have flexibility even though i stopped my 8 years of shotokan back in 1980
I like these. Not a big fan of that first teep to the knee, especially if you don't train it. It can actually be a hard target to hit and if you slide by the knee it can pitch your balance forward and put your chin in a bad position.
I hear ya. My mind still thinks I can kick as I did before. The moment I lift or try to lift my leg, my body says what the hell do you think you are you trying to do?
I trained in Tae Kwon Do in my early days. Obviously the spectacular high kicks were what the instructors pushed. I was lucky that I had one who also placed value on low kicks. He would say that, in a real fight, any low kick to the knee could end it right there and then. He would even include kicks and sweeps to the ankles in his training routines.
Stop the nonsense, 44 is not that old. I’m 61 and have trained in Krav Maga and Muay Thai for 6 years. I can still do everything I was able to do when I was 44, just slower and not as long. It’s a state of mind and what you believe you can and should be able to do. Never talk your way into being old.
How come nobody stops to consider that while you’re doing all of these great low kicks on your younger stronger opponent that he also can get a clue and start doing the same kicks on you only faster and stronger?
Stay tuned on the videos on how to defend yourself from kicks. Outsmart your attacker and being ahead of him is obviously needed when facing a younger stronger person
I'd pull your shots a little sooner, some of those hits could have taken out an ACL without much effort, your opponent seemed worried about getting hurt instead of focusing on the training exercise. Great information though, Im a 60 yr old 2nd Dan and I have to remind myself, even though I still train, that Im not 25 anymore lol.
@@raullm6820 TKD, Silat, Wing Chun mostly. both dans registered with the Kukkiwon in SK. My wife had her ACL blown out by an overzealous brown belt so sparring safety is even more important to us now.
The problem with really low kicks is that you are in punching range and then on one leg. You have to either lean back a bit or set it up , all the while keeping your hands up and ready to protect. All of you demonstrated these kicks while looking down at your targets and being wide open to getting punched. Frontal scratching kick? Really? Also, kicking the knee with your toes or even ball of the foot has a good chance of grazing the knee ineffectually , again leaving you on one leg to get punched.
I’m sorry that your body deteriorated so quickly I was easily doing high kicks mid range kicks thigh kicks, especially in my 40s and in my 50s. This is not unusual for a person who’s been training martial arts uninterrupted since their teams. If you want to teach you on little kicks that’s fine. It’s your channel but don’t try to say that at 44 you watched up and not as powerful
1) 95% of people over 40 sadly struggle with all sorts of physical issues. 2)I would love to see you doing those high kicks you claim you are good at (your profile picture doesn't portray you as an athletic fella) 3) My little kicks, are actually not mine but pretty mainstream for a reason 4) Thanks for watching and the feedback

@@captainmagpie1446yes 90-95% of the time, controlled technical sparring is the way to go.
The problem with really low kicks is that you are in punching range and then on one leg. You have to either lean back a bit or set it up , all the while keeping your hands up and ready to protect. All of you demonstrated these kicks while looking down at your targets and being wide open to getting punched. Frontal scratching kick? Really? Also, kicking the knee with your toes or even ball of the foot has a good chance of grazing the knee ineffectually , again leaving you on one leg to get punched.
That's why you need to be controlling and distracting the attacker face and watching out their handa
*plus punching upstairs right after the kicks
Common sense... Or it is to me...
Always, but sometimes not enough
@@raullm6820 It is for me!! I'm 71 !! 🙄😏
Sometimes common sense is not so common! People don't think about this stuff too often so, useful as a reminder👍🏻
@@simpleselfdefence_ Yeah strange that isn't it... Maybe because I'm old school and been in a few altercations? 😏😁
That pronunciation is enough to deterr anyone 😂
Said someone called Bernardo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m sorry that your body deteriorated so quickly I was easily doing high kicks mid range kicks thigh kicks, especially in my 40s and in my 50s. This is not unusual for a person who’s been training martial arts uninterrupted since their teams. If you want to teach you on little kicks that’s fine. It’s your channel but don’t try to say that at 44 you watched up and not as powerful
1) 95% of people over 40 sadly struggle with all sorts of physical issues.
2)I would love to see you doing those high kicks you claim you are good at (your profile picture doesn't portray you as an athletic fella)
3) My little kicks, are actually not mine but pretty mainstream for a reason
4) Thanks for watching and the feedback
44 you like you are 55
I wish at 55 I will be as I am with 44 as I wish to be with 44 as I was with 34 😢
Any advice for a 74 year old ? lol
¡Gracias por esa información útil!
@3:49 …that part of the body as much as we like to think is a very small part…
