Big, big shoutout to Micah aka Kwonkicker. We all know him and love his channel. For everyone that does TKD, show your love! ua-cam.com/users/kwonkicker Here's the video teased at the end with Jerry's UA-camr crush: ua-cam.com/video/8UjTd8q1fsE/v-deo.html
Old school tkd is so cool. Like when crazy tkd kicks are done well, they're nothing short of the most stunningly amazing strikes in martial arts. And the old school guys train such that they're actually able to know how to do it well, it's simply fantastic
@@TheAceOfSpadezz pretty sure kwonkicker does itf not wtf, but I just mean people who train tkd in a way that focuses on developing speed and power and being effective in a fight, rather than being effective in point sparring. Anyone who does that is badass regardless of their federation :)

@@TheAceOfSpadezz no that's what I'm trying to tell you, when he talks about wtf tkd he's talking about doing old school wtf, ie before the introduction of electronic scoring
I know this guy channel for a long time, but I didn't knew that he competed in Thailand 9 years ago, very nice to discover that. Probably he was one of the first fighting youtubers.
Micah made a video on this. It's his spinning back kick. He teaches you how to add power and how to make it second nature. No flair. No fancy steps. Just you and the kick. I love his channel.
the spinning back kick (some styles call it a spinning side kick since the toes aren't pointed down) is the single most underrated move in striking. The power and explosiveness of a spinning back kick is incredible. From a tactics perspective, you can see from Kwonkicker (who I've followed for years and years, got great kicking tips from him back in the day), that a good spinning back kick is subtle. The Thai boxer doesn't even begin to react until half way through the kick, when Kwonkicker's shoulders start to rotate, and by then it's pretty much too late.
Currently, Taekwondo style fighters are not well seen in kickboxing/Muay Thai matches, but in the past, there were TKD based fighters who competed head-on with kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters and won a lot. Manson Gibson, Ignacio Capllonch, Serkan Yılmaz, Hassan Kassrioui, Steve Vick What they have in common is that they have some skill in boxing (sometimes they win with punchs), and their side kicks, back kicks, roundhouse kicks, spin kicks, and spinning back fists are beautifully fast and strong. Among them, Manson Gibson's style is truly unique and is a subject of study. His side kick's reach is really long, and he is very strong in clinch because he has done some amateur wrestling.

Kwonkicker show in one of his videos that Martial Taekwondo have punches techniques, I literally learned how to hit with my punches in Taekwondo thanks to him.
@@kmch7286 what would you define the main difference between kickboxing and taekwondo kicking tecnique is? From what i understand the kicking part in kickboxing comes from karate,so if we take out muay thai can we see a visible difference in kicking technique? Assuming that kickboxing and karate kicking are the same
Fanboys would say "the Muay Thai guy wasn't even that good", "that was a lucky shot because the Muay Thai guy wasn't paying attention". Kwonkicker used taekwondo in this match and won fair and square. A lot of Muay Thai fighters have this hidden ego where they crap on other martial arts when a Muay Thai fighter wins and when a Muay Thai fighter looses the fanboys make a million excuses on why. I once tried a Muay Thai gym and 2 of the teachers had egos bigger I could imagine. In a nutshell I didn't get treated right there and I left so I can do taekwondo and boxing and I've never been happier. There's a dark side to Muay Thai that no Muay Thai practitioner wants to reveal other than me and some other individuals who have the guts.
Fanboys are not the same as those practitioners. Most fanboys are not even a martial artist themselves. The majority of Muay Thai fighters have closed relationship with TKD, Sanda and Western Boxing.
Lol they're levels to Muay Thai fighters. You got small stadiums. Then you got the Proffesional levels stadiums! Lumpuinee and Rajdamnern . These guys have annihilated top Taekwondo/MT fighters.
Also yes, there is very dark side to Muay Thai. I'm Thai. Train world Champions. Unlike traditional arts we have a whenever, wherever mentality. If you are a (fighter)and can't make the cut. Then leave we don't give out belt rankings
@SPlinter Echelon Somrak is one of the most intelligent Muay Thai fighters ever. Saenchai, and Lerdsila are all from the same branch. As for pure Muay Boran not that I can think of.
Finally! I learned to kick properly from kwonkickers channel. I used his videos to convince my jujutsu teachers at the time to change how we throw hook kicks and high axe kicks.
That lower block definitely has to be a WTF thing. Sometimes I do notice some ITF practitioners do it, but it's a habit I see with sports practitioners because the coach would force them to do it. I've crossed trained between the two in my late teen. Anyway, that video was one of my favourites from him, and it really opened my eyes as to what TKD lacks. More like they waste time trainig for their own tournaments, when they could easily do a 30 min, after-class, kickboxing rules spar to really kick ass like Micah here.
With the WTF style then to ITF style, WTF does a little bit of striking but only to the torso but there's more kicking involved with sparring and ITF does a western boxing and with a combination of kicks in sparring.
this kick has in karate, in capoeira, and in taekwondo, and kickboxing, when this blow is applied, as we see in the video, hitting both the abdomen and the head, it is a knockout for sure. This is awesome channel.
That low guard block Kwon kicker did was something we used to do in my dojang all the time. it's pretty good for body kicks and if you have distance control you're safe
Hey man awesome video! You should do more Sanda vs Muay Thai videos though. Especially some ones where Sanda wins. I want to see what the Sanda guys in those videos do differently in those fights that the others don’t. Thanks!!
Muay Thai fighter here. I can assure you that just because we kick, we aren't going to not throw punches. That's why it's the art of eight limbs, not six.
Muay Thai's clinch game becomes irrelevant when Judo throws are allowed. It's a combat sport that plays to it's rules just like any other combat sport.

@travis ok fanboy, I didn't mean this match in particular I mean in general when a Muay Thai fighter beats a person of a different style they ridicule them and almost never the other way around. You're just blind, take your ego and get out of here. Also why assume a Muay Thai fighter would kick my ass when you don't even know me and my capabilities and never even will? Knowing Muay Thai doesn't give an automatic win to the practitioner and here you are acting as if Muay Thai is perfect.
@7atenine22 I do practice Jiu-Jitsu. And I love it. I have practiced two striking arts formally and two informally, and while I do believe we need some fundamental striking, Jiu-Jitsu has most effectively prepared me to defend myself.
@7atenine22 I could totally understand being a little bit timid to get back into it after getting knocked out like that. although now that I'm too old to do it I really want to fight in the MMA but I'm too old but that's okay. One thing I like about Jiu-Jitsu is there's no such thing as being too old
@7atenine22 no I don't compete I just mean that you can be any age and start jiu jitsu. I signed up to study Jiu-Jitsu about 6 or 7 months ago now and I'm 50 years old. That's not to say that I might not compete just for the fun of it but it's not something that I'm really wanting to do as much as having the extra tools for self-defense. what I can say is that it seems to me that people are able to practice Jiu-Jitsu for a lot later in their life Dan other combat sports such as boxing or MMA etc.
Gotta stay away from that kick or stuff the kicks... Muay Thai Kid shoulda clinched all day, but he wanted to hang out in the kick range, it’s dangerous if the TKD guy has a brain, speaking from experience. So I personally don’t hang out and fight the long game, I do the hugging game.
Hey man, even though I enjoy your videos and always look forward for the new one, your constant shouting really puts me off. So much so that I always hit the mute button. Might wanna consider lowering your voice down a bit? Just an advice tho, it's your channel after all. Cheers
Maybe I will lower the levels for it. I always gate the audio now so that it never peaks, so if you turn down the audio, there shouldn’t be any sound Thats too loud. But maybe I will think about more equalizing. I’ll take a look.
