Damn dude it's crazy to see how mature you and your channel have grown into, been subbed since your old boy Ant tried to bully you back at the Railroad tracks!
Been following your channel since the beginning. Its changed a lot and gotten so much more comprehensive, the production quality is excellent. Although I do wanna say. Us that have been following you for years still haven't forgotten about Ant
This video made me realize that I can still improve my game so much. I’ve been getting leg kicked so much and my answer is to take it or check it but i do it to slow so my knees get kicked. I’ve gotten some bruises and I’m definitely gonna try these. I didn’t even realize my jab left me open to leg kicks.
Just practice practice practice bro! I'm also getting hammered by dudes who love kicking way too much. I take little punches to the face and body but when it comes to kicks I just eat 70% of them, block 10% and evade 20% which is not ideal 😂 I don't like getting hit and it's frustrating but you just need to practice what you can do is make a partner throw a kick of their choosing and you'll have to react accordingly and that way you'll learn
you should do a video on lowkick setups. the classic dutch combinations, but also catching your opponent when controlling the ring- stepping in and out to catch them when they move, side stepping, feinting, etc.
MightyMatt28 look at how conor mcgregor gets his bait counters. in an open stance he uses his lead hand to busy his opponents lead hand, feeling their rhythm and not having to watch it for movement. then he lowers his rear hand and raises his chin, that way the opponent WANTS to throw something at the very open target and they can only use one of their hands. it’s rare that you see somebody throw a headkick, most of the times you will see a straight thrown at the head. influencing rather they throw a kick or a punch is more about distance control. be too close for kicks, stuff them up. just be ready to slip and rip! this is mainly used in open stances but i’ve found success in doing the same technique in a closed stance or using my rear hand to busy their lead hand, holding it out like a post, baiting them to hit me with their straight and then i use my lead hook as a check hook over top.

Anita Smith you can make it from any part of the world you’re in, there are great minds all around, great people with great achievements, the Russians are known as the most difficult opponent to prepare for. They do things different over there. 🇷🇺 🙏🏻
Khabib Nurmagomedov thank you sir I appreciate the kind words, I’ll hang em up before I’m too old though I feel like I’ll be fighting into my early/mid 30’s.
I train for a 1 year and half and this week was the first time I got leg kicked multiple times with no answer by one of the most experienced fighter of my gym, that first tip open my mind man, thinking abou the spar now I can see what I could've done better, thank you very much! I sending my thanks from Brazil 🇧🇷🙏
This was insightful. Good vid. Back in the day I was only ever trained in the step in counter because my teacher was very into an aggressive style and everything was about smothering the opponent to take options away. He was never into backing away, and would always say that if you backed off to poking moves you were giving up control of the range. Step in can be vulnerable to feints though. I fondly remember catching my teacher once with some judo off a feint, but it wouldn't have worked in a shirtless match situation since it was shirt/gi stuff.
@@HeHe-zz8qf Conor defenitiely is the more skilled inside boxer.. made good combinations and managed to find that chin.. What made the game changer was the leg kicks, which incapacitate an opponent as Conor, with that wide karate stance with the flat foot of a boxer.
When I was in my 20s I did TKD for almost a decade then switch to CMA as I found TKD limited. We used to train at a park, there was a MT and Kickboxing group that used to train close by. In one occasion the MT coach came to talk to us and brought a student along. His intention was clear he wanted his student to test us out and I was asked to do it. The MT guy started using leg kicks which was the first time for me, I did not know how to respond and those kicks hurt. After the 3th of so kick I lost it, I finally decided to do the same then did a quick stance switch to load my right leg and leg kick him with a low jump. The guy stumble back, I entered with an uppercut to the solar plexus and drop him. We had no protection/gear at the time. I spent a week limping due to those kicks. Good times lol
My bro once tried to kick me in the leg and I remembered one mma fight where one fighter used his knee to defend himself. I did it the same and my bro was in real pain.
@@lild1876 how often do you practice? I try to do at least once per week, I mean specifically for kicks, but lately have not been nearly enough. I also have four kids so my time is a bit tight 😁
I think as I learned in Kyoku and also taught by Bas, the 2nd way of stepping the leg forward is actually getting their early and it is a defense actually. I mean it's basically 4th.
i dont know why i find this stuff so interesting, i have no intention of learning as i think im probably too old at this point to reach a decent standard but its interesting to see
Hey man! Absolutely love the video! I am very much a beginner at kickboxing, but this video will help me a long way in defending the kicks! I am not a big fan of taking/defending the kicks with the shin, but the way of stepping away and in is amazing! Thank you so much! :) It’s so simple, but it takes a good person to take the time to record and explain ^^ Wishing you all happy and safe kickboxing 💪
Thanks. The light front leg stands which most Muay Thai boxers show is explained... Depending on one fighting style one can choose to stay out or crowd in..... I will add one killer block namely by drawing your knee a bit outside in stead of forward during the blocking, this will kill the attacking shin.....
I personally use these game plans to stop low kicks (in this order) 1. Check 2. Grab the leg for a takedown 3. Grab the leg for a punch counter 4. Move 5. Switch stance to match theirs example, orthodox to orthodox
@@ahmedkhalid7241 true true. I usually set up my overhands in takedown fakes but my sparring partner loves the overhand as a counter. If you're not allowed to elbow (amateur, Japan etc) then the overhand is the next best thing.
I think the best way to defend against the low leg kick is bridging the gap, which is the last option in this video. Defense by lifting the front leg not ideal since every time your leg receives kicks eventually will hurt/ bruised/ injured. Retreating to prevent the blow requires light fast footwork, and since the distance between the two fighters is far enough, that kick can be re-cocked again, waiting for the chance to hit again. So i think the best defense is doing more of infighting, always bridging the distance to prevent that rear leg from doing harm to your front leg.
Use the right leg as lead if your leg kicker opponent use left as leg lead. I learn this from Mcgregor vs Jose Aldo (the leg kicker) and practice this several times
When you block a kick, Should you keep your leg light? I mean if you block it with some power it could break? And doesnt it hurt eaven to block as kicking? Its still bone against bone
Hi Shane .....can you plz share your view on CrossFit.....I mean to say I personally follow you and your advice.....bt just want to know....is is good to do CrossFit or should I do something else.....
Very good video but what if we counter attack a low kick by side kicking our opponent's knee? Or his hip joint (or femoral neck to be exact)?...I have used this Kung Fu technique before and so far it has worked. I'm retired now btw. Cheers!👍🏽🇨🇦
I dont like how high you raise your leg to defend it. The ideal location to defend the kick is try to get the bump on the top of your shin to make contact with their shin. Its hard but if you see a calf kick, or a low thigh kick, try to raise it only as far as you need it. You can also just turn your foot towards the kick and lean into it (for a calf kick).
Shane vs Vince friendly sparring! Let's see it :) Anyways, good stuff, one thing I'm surprised isn't done more often upon catching the leg, is to deliver a downwards elbow on the thigh and then sweeping the standing leg.
I have also seen fighters block the low kick with that big bone below their knee. It can result in breaking the leg of the kicker and ending MMA careers.
Hi Shane..Interesting video.... Check out Kudo karate . It seems to be a very challenging and promising style .... It relies heavily on Kyokushin karate and Judo ... Can you tell us your thoughts on this style .
Shane, I've watched this video because yesterday evening I got heavily low kicked, he shutted down my right leg, and I'm a right handed southpaw. But I'm happy because I hit him to the head with a spinning hook kick, that was almost orgasmic. I struggle with walking btw, but I don't care
Infighting. Look it up. You can watch some Kevin Gastelum, and dc. Justin Gaethje vs James Vick shows a good way to KO tall guys. That jab straight is your best friend, and a lot of pressure. Push him to the cage/ropes, wait for him to reset, and leaping hook.

hi shane im your number one fan can u pls do some video about your daily routine training
Hopefully McGregor has been watching this on repeat lol.

Use the right leg as lead if your leg kicker opponent use left as leg lead. I learn this from Mcgregor vs Jose Aldo (the leg kicker) and practice this several times
Got to love Gaston's leg kicks!
Can you post a new video on fighting broken rhythm
What if they're left handed?? (left stance/using left leg)
When you block a kick, Should you keep your leg light? I mean if you block it with some power it could break? And doesnt it hurt eaven to block as kicking? Its still bone against bone
Hurts both but the kicker will take more damage
I couldn't tell if Gaston hit him hard or light
Pretty light compared to how hard he is capable of hitting
Big gloves I think, personally you can wear 16 oz and it springs your head back more, but yeah I’m in your boat 😂
Hes actually going pretty light, but u know when pro fighters go a bit fast, theres gonna be some impact
No crouch block?
