We love you master
This is a favourite kick of mine, and I use it pretty successfully in TKD sparring by feigning an abdomen-level side kick, before releasing a higher side kick to the head (learned it by watching Donnie Yen). Of course, gotta control the amount of power used.
I just know that the side kick is a pretty devastating one, but this vid helped me to better understand its usage and purpose. You make TKD look like science, and have helped me appreciate it better.
Continue the great work!
+Mirza Sutresno Cool and Thank you for your support :)
Which Donnie yen fight was it? I wanna see lol
I train in Muay Thai but have always wanted to learn the TKD sidekick to add into my arsenal. This tutorial has been most insightful and I thank you for that.
Thank you i do Muay Thaï and Aikido and i really respect all martial arts and boxing styles i can tell you have a really great level in your art just looking at how you are moving
***** I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
GingerNinjaTrickster
Sorry to butt in here.
Have you ever considered doing another material art to the same level as what you have with Taekwondo such as BJJ or wrestling so as to add to you fight game.
If you combined Wonderland with say a grappling art I have no doubt that you would have a lethal combination there.
(my back ground is boxing, wrestling and Judo.)
bighands69 I already do several arts. Check out my samplers and you will see some of them creep in, especially the grappling dummy, versys and allstike ones :)
What martial arts are stronger?
broly standbyme, If you mean “What are the strongest martial arts?” Then I got you. No martial art is stronger than the other(usually) because everyone has preferred techniques, different professions, etc. I’m not saying that a TKD black belt can go out in the street and beat a Jujitsu black belt because that would be a little unrealistic, do to the ground combat exp. the jujitsu practitioner has. But, people can utilize a martial art to be more effective by twisting the techniques a bit.
That’s my conclusion! I hope it served you well😊
I've studied martial arts for 15 years, people suppress the need of a sidekick in martial arts, you've described the Sidekick basics better than anyone else I know...keep up the good work
+Elijah Noles I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
About 9 years and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Sensei, you have a very dangerous sidekick your technique is great I enjoyed this video, thank you.
I myself practice WTF Taekwondo for about 21 years now, and I enjoy it when fellow Martial Artist knows how to explain their moves the way they supposed to be, as you do. Also like that you keep respect on both ITF and WTF in your comments. As both Taekwondo styles got their origin starting point at one place in time.
Then there are lots of ITF and WTF sabums who explain it just as you do, great job keep it up.
It's already up and I cover standing, jumping of two feet, flying, etc. Type in 'Taekwondo Jump Side Kick Tutorial' and it will come up or look through my 'Kicking Tutorials' playlist. Good luck :)
I'm glad that you find them helpful :) I partly made them for people that end up in your circumstances so i'm happy that you can still train and learn. Good luck with your future training my friend :)
Very impressive form. I don't know a thing about martial arts or unarmed fighting, but that's a beautiful kick.
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
No problem :) Instructors teach differently and people also learn things better in different ways so i'm happy that my way helped you. Good luck with your training :)
i start learning two months ago i am training everyday my home how long do i need to make a high kick
Awesome! Flexibility and balance. Good luck :)
Me too
Where are u now I started a month ago
All I can tell you is be very patient. Do a little every day and don’t expect to be a ninja overnight. It is a journey! Be patient.
When I was younger I somehow made it to a junior level of black belt but ended up dropping out afterwards. After watching this I'm really tempted to start again from scratch. Serious respect for you to make it so such amazing technique. Brings me back to the days of watching my old instructor.
Thanks for making this video, I'm off to watch more hahaha.
Cool and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Can u please make tutorials on punches and other strikes?
You've got INSANE technique. From a teaching perspective, watch this and note how often you use the word "obviously". It's both a speaking crutch, and to the beginner, the things you point out are not obvious. They are new and specific. Keep at it!
Hey GNT big fan here! I can't afford classes for TKD but I really really want to learn. Is home training good enough to learn tkd?
I guess it's the only option you have with what you said.
ThePug PizzaParty
Andy Sykes Foster Buy yourself a heavy bag, practice the kicks and punches and perfect them, learn some useful combos, and you’ll be good
I really like your tutorials. I've been training for 7 months already, I stopped in the because we can't afford to train in a gym and my parents doesn't support me. So, I decided to train myself with advanced kicks by watching tutorial videos here on youtube. I can do a perfect side kick now, thanks to you. Kicking the air kinda sucks though haha.
my leg cant go that far... any help or stretches that can help me?
+Miguel Guerra same here
+Miguel Guerra Start low and build up, I have stretching tutorials that will help so check them out and good luck :)
GingerNinjaTrickster ok. Thanks for the tip!
Miguel Guerra No problem :)
Vusal Mehdiyev Thank you :)
I think most people would agree with you :) I'm glad that the tutorial helped and that you have improved. Well done and good luck with your future training :)
you are really good!!
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Thank you :) I like to explain things the best i can and not be ignorant that other styles and more modern martial arts might do the kick a little differently or from a different stance. This is one of the main reasons i started doing tutorials because i thought people could get a better understanding and find the kick a lot easier to do if i elaborated on what others were teaching. Thank you again :)
Why would someone dislike this video
becausw theyre a troll most likely. this video is amaizing!
Because his foot never turns "180 degrees" But that's just conjecture, I think this is a great video
those are the guys from other channel :D :P
Angel Thekiller because the fell...
I'm glad you think that and i really appreciate the support. Thank you :)
eres el mejor en patadas
Glad you liked the tutorial. I will make one soon, just takes a while with peoples busy schedules and then some have to be available at the same time which is a nightmare but i will do one definitely :) I love the doboks too. Thank you :)
Im watching this to get revenge on my bully
lol
guitar j200 im already learning
GingerNinjaTrickster she and her friends beat me up
Trent W well , she beated me up 4 times and she wont stop so its time , when she'sgonna beat me up again i can kick her in the face , LoL , Oh! Awhile ago I've placed a bucket of slime mixed with A LOT OF GLUE at the top of the locker SHE OPENED IT THEN SHE was like : MY HAIR!O MY GOD IM SLIMY! She cried and i was never caught cause i was too early LoL
XxAna MagcalcalxX lol you're so gonna get your ass kicked trying to do this
Really appreciate you saying that and good luck with your future training :)
I wonder how many times he said obviously :p
A lot lol It was my filler word. Got rid of it now lol
GingerNinjaTrickster LOL
85
101 times !!!
That's great. I have done some Muay Thai myself and i enjoy it a lot. I have trained with Kru Tony Moore and Sandy Holt. Anyways, glad you found this tutorial useful and good luck with your training :)
I'm glad it helped and good luck with your future training :)
your videos are the best about martial arts in the whole web....i practice taekwondo for 10 years now, u truly the best i have ever seen! ;)
Rewatching old videos makes me notice that I have been subscribing to GNT for almost 5 years! Since I was just in Karate class before I reached Black, Aaron's videos improved my kicks significantly. Now I'm starting TKD white belt and everyone is asking how the hell my kicks are like black belt?
GNT is why, bitches.
Haha Glad I could help and thank you for your continued support :)
Thank you. It is not that difficult if someone is actually there because you can feed off them or see the mistakes they are making but it is to video so an entire audience can understand a technique :)
Glad that you think so and i'm glad it helped. Good luck with your future training :)
Was waiting for someone to notice lol This was one of my first tutorials and i realised that i liked to use that word a lot. Try to limit as much as possible now and barely say it in my later tutorials obviously lol
I am so so happy I found your channel! I trained in ITF Taekwondo for many years growing up, and I'm very glad it was my first martial art. I got my 1st Dan Black and was actively pursuing my 2nd Dan for years before a very unfortunate incident forced my instructor to close the school. You teach in a similar manner that he did, very detailed and step by step. I then trained MMA for years and no one at my gym could kick as hard as me except for the muay thai instructor haha. I'm in my early 30s now and still have the muscle memory from all those years of repetitive training. Anyway, great channel and so awesome to see quality, legit ITF TKD. It's ALL WTF where I live and has been for a decade :(
Thank you for sharing your story and I appreciate your support. Thank you :)
It's great that you have started back and that you are enjoying your training. Keep it up and good luck :)
Just want to thank you again for these kicking tutorials! My friends and I watch your videos religiously and have used many of the tips in our training to improve our techniques.
Thank you, thank you! Your expertise is invaluable.
Just want to say I have my 3 kids(6,8,10) watching your videos, the all have insane flexibility and your tips are helping them understand what it takes to improve their kicking techniques. Great job!!
No problem :) I'm glad you find them helpful and i appreciate your support. Thank you :)
I don’t even learn this at my TKD studio. Embarrassing that I have to learn it from a UA-cam video. Awesome video sir.
Thank you :) I train in Newport, South Wales.
He is and he happens to be a great dad too:)
No problem. I'm glad that you think they are helpful and thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated :)
Just wanted to say, outstanding tutorials mate, thanks a lot! Being able to see everything step-by-step, in slow motion, from the side, and in an actual sparring situation makes everything much clearer! I do quite a lot of sports but want to seriously work on my balance, agility and leg flexibility and taekwondo looks like just the ticket. When I start doing it, I'll be sure to revisit these tutorials a few times again, they really are excellent! P.S. you kick like lightning xD .
I'm glad that it helped and good luck with your future training :)
Great job,bloke.
My instructor told me that my sidekick was slightly below average,so I learn to improve my sidekick.
+Daniel Eu Thank you and good luck :)
Got a few kicks in mind before making that one but i will be getting to it soon :)
Thank you very much :) I'm glad that they helped. Good luck with your future training :)
Even though I practice this kick daily it's always good to come back to this video because there is always a detail or two that I keep missing. Again solid work GNT. :)
Octaslash08 Cool and thank you :)
Appreciate you saying that and thank you for you appreciation :)
I'm glad it helped :) Yes, it's in my kicking tutorials playlist on my channel. Good luck :)
Thank you :) Glad you liked it and no problem :)
I'm glad you like them and thank you for your kind comments :) Good luck with your training :)
Thank you :) Hook kick and spin hook kick is definitely on my list of tutorials to do. Back kick is a little further down my list. Just need time and they will be up i promise :)
Thank you :) I'm glad you found the tutorial easy to follow and appreciate your blessings. I will do my best to and good luck with your future training my friend :)
No problem :) I'm glad you found it helpful and good luck :)
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's great! The basics are obviously the most efficient to use but if you are looking for some realistic flash moves to try then i'd say spin back kick or hook kick, jump versions of those too and 360 roundhouse is probably the most flash i'd go in K1. Good luck :)
I'm glad the tutorial has helped and good luck with your training :)
I've just started Tae Kwon-do and I'm really glad I found this video. Definitely hitting that subscribe button and the basic stretching video is my new best friend.
I'm glad you liked it and that's great :) I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
I will make one soon. Have a few kicks before that one but i will get to it :)
OMG! Thank you! I needed this. I missed a class and I was having trouble but now not anymore thanks to you:)
No problem, i'm glad I could help :)
I know lol
That's cool. Good luck with your blue tag grading :) I have been to Holland but haven't competed there. I used to compete but don't now. Glad it helped. That's not far from 9 foot, impressive :) Haven't done a high side kick in a tournament. I have done a high front kick in competition and the highest i got was 9 foot 4 inches but we were allowed a long run up lol
I do ITF and I already know that but thanks for sharing :)
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
That's great. I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) I have a daughter who just turned 8 months old. Hopefully she wants to train when she's older :)
I'm glad you think that and i'm glad they help. Thank you for your appreciation, it means a lot :) Appreciate the support and good luck with your training :)
No problem. I have been doing it for 8 years :)
That's great! I'm glad they are helping and I appreciate your support :)
Thank you. Means a lot as it is one of my favorite kicks :)
I'm glad you think that and thank you for your appreciation. Good luck with your training :)
Excellent detailed video. I like how you explain the target areas and all applications and different variations. Most other videos are just; do this, then that, then this. They are very mechanical and don't explain the how's, why's, and when's. Great job!
Thank you :) I already worked that out lol This was one of my first tutorials and they weren't planned so it was kind of a gap filler/safe word. If you watch my more recent tutorials you will see that they are planned and structured a lot better with less obviously's lol
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you and no problem :)
I will :)
No problem :) That's great and good luck with your training :)
well done, a great tutorial and a pleasure to see compared to many others on youtube. Nice tips and sensible.... after 29yrs involvement in TKD I still focus on my basics daily, and it is said that the quality of one's TKD can be seen in one's sidekick. Congratulations.
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Maybe in the future. Good luck with your training :)
No problem and that's great :)
I'm glad you found it helpful and there are several methods of doing a side kick :)
No problem and good luck with your training :)
I'm glad you think so and good luck with your training :)
Appreciate you saying that and I'm glad you feel that way. Thank you :)
Omg thank you so much!! I'm yellow belt at mugendo and I couldn't do a decent sidekick before watching this !! :)
No problem and i'm glad the video helped :)
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's great, i'm glad the tutorial helped :)
Thanks for this tutorial. Very explicit and easy to follow. I have been following several of your tutorials and have helped me a lot.
No problem :) I'm glad you thought so and that I could help. Good luck with your training :)
My instructor is Master Gary Gassor VII Degree :) It depends on the purpose of the kick. For speed you can lift the knee up straight and turn the leg as you are making the side kick and for power you bring it around and into your chest to create more momentum. Hope that helps and good luck :)
Thank you :) I do but there are quite a lot of methods, i will be making a stretching video soon that will help.
Thank you :) I will do. Thanks for making feel so welcomed if i ever go to your country :)
No problem and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Glad you enjoy them and thank you :) There are a lot of drills to get the side kick higher. I'll probably post a video up at some point about it to help.
No problem and thank you for your support :)
No problem. Yea, i will get around to it soon. Just have so many tutorials to make so it's just deciding which ones to do first but it will be done. Good luck for now :)
I am from Wales in the UK and i train in maindee, newport :)
No problem :) Thank you for your appreciation and good luck with your training :)
I'm glad you feel that way and i'm happy to help. Thank you :)
It's just practice :)
A little hip flexibility yea but other factors also come into play. Balance,speed and not swinging the leg down and back up to get to the hook kick so a good chamber is vital. I'm sure you will get it. Good luck my friend :)
Fantastic video mate. Love the progressive format you've used for this course.
Thank you, i'm glad you like them and cheers :) Would love to go there some day, looks beautiful :)
Very good tutorial, can't think of any other aspect of the side kick I would cover, thanks for making this!
dude, great videos, i love martial arts like you, i am training in taekwondo 5 Years ++
and i am watching sometimes some of your videos for tips, thanks :)
No problem. Yea, just keep at it and you will get it. Thanks again :)
Great overview of how the sidekick can be performed and the devastating effects if performed correctly. Please post a video tutorial that shows how to develop this kick to the level you demonstrate. Thanks for a great tutorial.
What do you mean? Where does it originate? or where can you do itf taekwondo?
