One STEP to make sidekicks work. And Xiao has a crazy Bruce Lee theory
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- One simple step (literally) to make the rear leg turning side kick land on its target. Simple footwork for targeting a powerful kick, based on exploiting your opponent’s good defensive habits.
A useful striking technique for MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and other striking martial arts.
Aaaaaand, Xiao goes on a wild tanget about the secret meaning of Bruce Lee’s classic film “Enter the Dragon”.

Ramsey: "Xiao, it's time for your BJJ class"
Xiao: "I told you I don't swing that way bro"
Xiao: “Why are you gae ?”
Xiao is an absolute Chad. He's a great addition to the channel ahaha
I like Xiao too. Wish I had a permanent sidekick on my UA-cam channel just like him.
"It's not gay Xiao! Get back here and let me squeeze your neck with my thighs!"
That made me want to subscribe all over again, I'm dead lmao.
“It’s not gay, Xiao!! Let me squeeze your neck with my thighs!” I’m already dying and it’s only been 30 seconds since clicking this video 💀💀💀
in the distant future Xiao will be the fu manchu mustachioed master living in the mountains remembering the good old days of being a sidekick
Everybody knows that the "B" in LGBT stands for BJJ
Imagine a new student walks in and sees Ramsey Dewey chasing Xiao and says "come back here and let me squeeze your neck with my thighs" xD.
When I'm sparring I throw a lot of sidekicks, specially lead leg sidekicks. Mainly because I'm really bad at teep kicks. Sidekicks feel better to me despite not having a background in Karate or Taekwondo. Saludos de un Hondureño desde España!
Pense que era el unico hondureño🇭🇳
It's awesome to see breakdowns of techniques beyond executing JUST the kick! Thank you coach!
"It's just business"- Le Xiao McGregor😂
I do a variation of this all the time in sparring! Feels like cheating, i do i little hop instead of a step but its the exact same concept. Thankya coach Ramsey!
I'm a southpaw so do a low kick fake then stance switch and do a front side kick
@@hozerberto4886 deadly
6:14 - "Think, Xiao, think! You're fighting just so you can beat up noobs! Everyone around you will rank up and stop making mistakes! What will you even have after 500 sparring sessions?"
"You, coach...I'd still have you"
5:57 Joachim Meyer in his 1571 treatise categorized three types of fencers: Type 1 fencers attack without regard for openings and are generally overly aggressive. Type 2 fencers will wait for their opponent to make a mistake and attack at any opening they're given. They almost always lose to Type 3 fencers who /force/ their opponent to make mistakes or openings in their guard by using footwork and being aggressive without being suicidal. Interesting to see that kind of categorization going on that early.
Provoker, Taker, Hitter : ) I'll bet Ramsey has more HEMA practitioners watching than he realizes, cool how so many principles apply across many arts.
Xaio is Awesome. I wish I had a sidekick just like him on my channel. Great team.
Great video. A combo from wonderboy that works fairly well for me (a novice) in sparring.
1-2 where you step out a bit wide on the lead side while throwing the jab and as the two goes out you chamber your rear leg and do the turn part and shoot out the side kick as your straight comes back and end in southpaw.
Wow Xiao is everybody's inner monologue.
I love that he calls you white man when you banter. Please never stop that.
“Get back here and let me squeeze your neck with my thighs!” 😂
Ramsey, I have told you before that I think you are a gifted orator. Your voice, your diction, your thoughtful presentations are simply excellent! I would love to see you do some videos similar to what Anthony Bourdain would do. Take us around the area of China where you live. Take us to some of your favorite restaurants. Introduce us to the local cuisine. Show us a bit of what life is like in your area, even for your family. Introduce us to some of your friends. China is such a mystery to so many people. I think your fans would love a few videos like that. Who knows, I believe you have the talent to be the next Anthony Bourdain!!!
I have no idea who Anthony Bourdain is. I don’t eat out at restaurants much. I spent my days training at a few different gyms. That’s where my friends are. You see them in my videos all the time. I spend most of my free time helping my kids with their homework. The videos you’re imagining would probably be radically different from the real “day in the life” videos I would make if I was being honest.
"Bruce Lee's dragon enters!.." Lol. That was a sudden change in direction🤣
Xiao is awesome!
This is the best intro to a video ever 😂😂
I was just thinking about this kick yesterday.
Great Video Ramsey Dewey!
Xiao is hilarious.
Imo if any kick works it's the sidekick. It's the most powerful or rather the easiest to generate most amount of power from and does not require spinning which may disorient you or overextention that would open you up. It's safer than more basic front kicks as you don't hit with your toes but with heel or sokuto (side foot) which are much denser and bigger bones obviously. If that kick would not require human to do a less natural motion of swinging leg to the side as opposed to more natural front I'd say I'd be a basic kick instead of a front kick.
Great Video and funny too. I wonder,where is the"Dragon entering ?
Enter the dragon has multiple meanings . That's why it's good :)
I'm loving the spiderman top!
Oh my virgin ears. You guys gave a new meaning to the term Dragonslayer.
I've seen you wear it a couple times now and I just have to say it--That rashguard is fecking awesome x)
I think "enter the dragon" is meant as a theatrical way of saying "introducing the dragon", or at this stage in history " enter the dragon!"
Great video coach!
I thought Xiao is the "sidekick" and someone made a suggestion to make him "work more better". If you're Batman, then he's your Robin.
"Keep your homosexual urges in check white man!" 🤣
First rule of extreme fight club: don't forget your lab coat
Ooh, ceiling cam!
Xiao and Ramsey have the same idea when wearing pants/shorts... gotta go way above the hip.. love the vid btw
Where exactly do you think my hips are located?
I love it!!! Fantastic
Its true about the brathwaite comment. Writer micheal allen, who wrote the script for " enter the dragon" originally titled "blood and steel", did not get along with bruce lee. So he put characters like roper, played by john saxon, and brathwaite, in the story becuse he thought that lee, with his thick Cantonese accent would have trouble pronouncing them. Brue lee being bruce lee did a great job pronouncing them dispite this.
Pro tip you want them to square up so you don't kick a elbow. Couldn't use side kicks in my last fight because I side kicked someones elbow in sparring 2 weeks out. Elbows are harder than the soles of your feet. Still have ptsd if throwing side kicks.
The first rule of the Ultimate Fight Club is you DONT talk about the Ultimate Fight Club!
Great vid, I need to try this out in sparring!
Here's a question about some possible insight in some Kung Fu techniques, particularly the "Cannon Fist"/Shízìchuí posture ("the cross-shaped fist-hammer" (what ever it's called, it has the arms extremely far apart). What's the reason for this? Is it perhaps a training method to develop power, or is there an actual application behind this?
The other is the straight double punch, one you often see in so many movies. It's just two straight punches aimed at the same area. Any reason or situation to use this?
While not a Kung Fu practitioner, I do find it incredibly interesting
Technically it could be somewhat of an ouroboros "serpent eating it's tail" situation. Lol
Hey Ramsey! Do a reaction / breakdown of Bas Ruttens street fight self defense video. It is hilarious
Coach Dewey, what do you think about Devon Larratt, world arm wrestling champion filling in for eddie hall in the boxing match vs The Mountain HalfThor Bjornssoon?
When you say sidekick my mind goes to Robin, dr. Watson, or any type of helper of protagonists
Ramsey Dewey: “dragged to the floor and dominated by sweaty muscular men”
Derrick Lewis: “actually that title is taken by p*rnhub”
Well if Xiao doesn’t like bjj maybe he’ll like judo ! :) i’m just stupidly looking for excuses to ask you to do judo related videos, please do judo related videos Ramsey, you are awesome at everything.
Enter the Dragon is a stage direction.
spider man shirt and a venum shirt? accidental comics synergy? will you have someone with carnage too?
Enter, the Dragon.
Good fun for the scientists in the lab!
the intro was pretty funny
Hi coach I've been doing bjj for about a year now and boxing a couple of months my dream is to be a ufc heavyweight champion I'm only a scranny 180cm 70kg 16 year old and heavyweights are massive but I wanna be the baddest man on the planet I was wondering if you had any tips that might help a shorter mma fighter to beat these Giants
3:17 so is that like a cheat step in a roundhouse kick?
Always enjoy your excellent content!
My Bruce Lee film title memories are unclear but isn't Chinese name for "Enter the Dragon" (where Bruce lee infiltrates an island and bad guy doesn't have a hand) 龙争虎斗 (Dragon and tiger fights fiercely with each other)? 猛龙过江 is "The way of the Dragon" (where Bruce kills Chuck Norris) to my memory.
yeah you're right! thanks for correcting me
"Come back here Xao and let me squeeze your neck with my thighs!" rofl, completely lost it..... I remember my first encounter with BJJ, It was at my Tang Soo Do academy in New Jersey. Our teacher always liked to involve other training styles into our dojang in order to open us up to a little bit of everything. I was only 13 at the time, so when they laid us down into closed guard my first thought was, "this is gay as hell, i'm not gonna do this." I remember telling my dad about it, and how gay it was, and then having him chew me out. He was in the military in Chile and so BJJ was a big part of their combat training. At the time I didn't know any better because MMA wasn't nearly as main stream as it is now, so I thought Tang Soo Do was the be all and end all style at the time. Now one of my biggest regrets is that I took so long in taking up Muay Thai and BJJ. My biggest take away from it was never to allow myself to close my mind to something ever again. Great lesson learned, just learned a little bit later than i would have liked. One of the great things that came from Tang Soo Do though, was all my exposure to the Front, side and roundhouse kicks, all three of them are my go to kicks even to this day, and setting it up by stepping to the side has been my go to for years now, as long as they aren't dropping those elbows on it, it's a great way to catch the liver...... In the words of the great Terry Silver, "a man can't breath, he can't fight!" 😂.
But all aside very smooth
it can crack the rib
I guess nobody told Xiao or Holly Holmes that back kick don't work. Sarcasm emoji
You need Xaio in every video from now on Ramsey he,s hilarious.By the way tell him his technique for his sidekick looked very good.He doesn’t turn away from the kick like his Sifu grrrrrr 😉
BJJ manuals in general and Saulo Ribeiro's Jiu-Jitsu University specifically , read like gay erotica , if you take them out of context.
Disclaimer. I am not an expert on BJJ or gay erotica. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Furthermore Master Ribeiro and his book are excellent.
I'm just saying though.
How extreme is it!!!
Coach, sensei seth says sidekicks dont work, is this really true?
Work works.
@@RamseyDewey was wondering, side kicks feel good. I have never fought professionally. And i have never been taught. But me and my cousins spar alot. We grapple. We wresle. So talking to you and watching your vids, helps. Keep up the good work.wish you well.
Sense I Seth says “sidekicks don’t work” 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t understand Seth’s sense of humor sometimes.
@@RamseyDewey I think it’s an old saying from his channel lol
Video idea: which animal best describes the UA-cam friends (instead of superhero’s 🤷♂️)
To me it looks like it's all about impact to be effective you have to be able to hit your opponent without them dodging or getting a hand in the way so the angle of the kick is important as the speed or the power of the kick me
Position is more important than anything else in fighting.
To get a stronger kick, try to raise your knee more. Try it!
Want a stronger kick than a high chamber will ever give you? Lock out your side kick for a spit second before you pull it back. Try it.
Comedy gold
Icy Mike has entered the chat
Has he? Where?
😊
lol my sister says grappling is gay too
I am pretty sure that Enter the Dragon is a theatrical reference, as Bruce Lee was an actor first and the world's greatest martial artist second.
I am also pretty sure Xiao needs a girlfriend.
But they don’t work 🤣 so they say
You should do the UA-cam shorts on like technique video like 30 second videos
a lot of people have short attention spans and you can probably get more people to click on your videos
I can’t stand vertically oriented videos. It’s the worst possible format for a technique video.
@@RamseyDewey
There's no horizontal shorts?
I'm not very observant.
Now that I think about it there all vertical.
.
A UA-cam #shorts video has to be under one minute and be filmed vertically.
@@RamseyDewey
Thanks for telling me
I wasnt all that sure how it worked
@@RamseyDewey
Big fan of your channel
Why do sensei seth say sidekicks doesnt work? I ask him but I just get meme response "ofcourse it works wink". Does it work or not work? I think it should work aaaah
I have no idea what that’s all about
It is in the name, Ramsey. Side...kick. it is a time honored tradition since Batman/joker time.
Ps: jujitsu really is traditionally gay, despite naysayers
To prove that bjj ain't gay, you must prove it is straight!. 'How to do that?'. I hope i knew!.🤣
Is Xiao your sidekick?
Lexical ambiguity!
You are not keeping your eyes on your opponent as you kick. is this a problem?
Your eyes are deceiving you.
@@RamseyDewey the eye deceives , but the camera never lies. 1.57 in slow mo. eyes off target BUT! its just once, and you were emphasising the foot position at the time. Have you done a video on how to use vision? good habits, bad habits etc ?
BJJ isn't gay if he's a straight male, given that you prononce it BAH-JAY-JAY like Master Ken does.
Sonny Chiba had great sidekicks.
😞
Sigh...
Rats.
My favorite martial arts film star of all time, gone...
😞
Damn.
They have a Batman and Robin thing going. Not gay at all. (teasing, no offense)
Lol funny as all git out man
Yeah i hate your guts but i'm asking to work for me as a spy
Xiao its not gay!!
ffs xd
I have to say I've never thought of Enter The Dragon as either pornographic or Shakespearean (or both!). Or gay Shakespearean porn? Hmmm ...
I think this is my new favorite video of yours. If Xiao moves away, I'm unsubscribing.
Stop pretending Ramsey. 🤣🤣🤣
By the Chinese name, it means the dragon crossing river, so it was dragon entering something.
Xiao says a lot of closeted things.
He’ll be thrilled to read this.
@@RamseyDewey Heheh
Dang u got me
pretty sure thinking jujitsu is gay, is a sign of being insecure in your masculinity...
side kicks don't work
This comment doesn’t work.
@@RamseyDewey don't believe me, look at 4:55 you can see clear evidence of side kicks not working.
Second
Nope disqualified cause you have shit to say
Seventeenth!
So was Bruce Lee Gay then?
BJJ is kinda gay though
And?
@@RamseyDewey and also positions of advantage/disadvantage in grappling; ex. North/South pos. -Super gay
If you’re doing the super gay version of north south position, you’re doing it wrong… and probably on purpose.
Coach Ramsey out of context pt. 3:
"Its not gay, Xiao. Get back here and let me squeeze your neck with my thighs."
"Stare at the feet."
"The dragon is an obvious phallic symbol."
"The phallic symbol... And you enter it..."
"Bruce Lee did die in the bed with some beautiful hong kong actress [...] While doing some entering with his dragon."
".... Xiao is dragged to the ground and dominated by sweaty muscular men..."
One day, someone will edit these sound bites into something nefarious.
@@RamseyDewey as they should 😂
@@RamseyDewey I have a strong desire to sample some of your music off of the channel and autotune those lines into lyrics. If I was to do it, it would take so long as to no longer be relevant or funny, though.
Ramsey dewey reminds of the bald man on The boonedocks that kept trying to kill Lamilton(8 year old kid) "He deserved to die"
@@brianbradley1345 good reference xD
"Jiu Jitsu is gay."
Every other kid when UFC first became popular in the US on TV.
LOL
for the record, I really like grappling tips (though I haven't had the chance to watch your videos of late). I find it easier to react properly when I 'see with my hands'.
As Obi-Wan said 'your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them!'
1:40
"Stare at my feet"
Yes, King Julian
