  • Side Kicks = Not a Muay Thai technique, but so what, it works! Man, I love throwing side kicks. They are a perfect technique to throw off of a missed body kick. They are powerful and a pain in the ass to defend. Especially if you aren't trained to defend them, which a lot of Muay Thai fighters aren't. Key points to remember:
    1. Use your missed body kick to set it up! You can even miss the body kick on purpose to bait your opponent to rush in and get smashed with it!
    2. Make sure you step behind your kicking leg with your support leg before you throw your kick!
    3. Your leg will chamber up first, and THEN kick out. Two steps, not one!
    4. Make sure to flex your instep as you kick. This will ensure that your foot is firm enough to take the impact and will also help with generating the power in your kick!
    Hope you guys enjoy it! Feel free to contact me with any questions!

    It's the year 2021 and Thai fighters still aren't utilizing the side kick... but I did in sparring. 👌👍

    If you turn too far on the first kick you can also turn it into a powerful back kick

    I love using this technique, they never see it coming. One thing is you can even jump into your opponent which adds even more force. Thanks for the video.

    Thai fighters have been doing that for ever: they just don't do the side step

    Ugh, I know! Thx for the feedback. I've been having mixed results with this damn camera. lol. I use an Iphone to record, which does awesome video, but the audio isn't so great sometimes. It really depends on how far I am from the camera.

    This one was good for a 'not new' people. I actually didn't know this one.
    Though the only advice i might give you is to correct your voice recording. Because the video is very silent. :) Props and thanks!

    the different angles helped a ton. thank you man. I'm not tall I need distance keepers and reaction; Ivoid fighting at all cost but this is a good move before having to gets superior with pepper spray or V.V> a weapon.

    Is it okay to side step forward with the standing leg while kicking for extra force?
