    Mel is the real deal and has fought in front of thousands in Thailand. He doesn't train breaking bats. It's just for demonstration purpose so an audience can see what kind of power is delivered by a well trained kick. Body hardening training has been done by traditional martial artist for years. Besides an excellent martial artist, Mel Menor is a great trainer and still teaches in San Diego at his gym.

    Muay Thai fighters don't condition their shins by hitting hard objects like trees or poles. They condition their shins from years of kicking heavy bags and sparring without shinpads or mouthpieces. These is how they condition their legs and bodies, so muay thai fighters being able to kick and break down banana trees is just a perk they get due to years of kicking heavy bags.

      Ya dont kick trees right away youll break your legs. They even advise agaisnt using rolling pins to desesitize them just kick that bag and spar. You can use a rolling pin just rake it acorsso the shin but trust me it doesnt feel good and you still have to kick while its sore or its uselss and just bruises you.

    Notice the lowness of the kick. Watch for the motion's concerted timing, especially the pivot of the foot, the core turning, the knee leading the shin into the target, dissipating the full power.

  • @timbretrent113

    • @DLS441
      @DLS441 8 років тому

      Depends on the point of contact. The further down the leg, the more force is generated. So you would generate the most force at the foot, rather then the shin. The main reason Muay Thai fighters hit with the shin is because it's one solid bone instead of the foot which is a collecting of small bones.

  • @Quifuh

    Funny thing. In a japanese No Laugh or punishment TV show (Gaki no Tsukai - Batsu Games) there's this punishment "Thai kick" which they get kicked in the butt by a Muay Thai practitioner. There was this special episode where they called a japanese champion and to demonstrate he broke three stacked baseball bats with one kick.

    Part of what you need to measure force is the resistance. Those balls put almost no resistance, so the force is going to be a lot lower. The punters kick being launched into a human would show numbers in the upper thousand.

    Vince Lombardi was predictable too. He knew it, and whoever was playing the Packers knew it. Guess what both teams also knew? That they couldn't stop the Packers anyway, so it didn't matter. His whole philosophy was, "Keep it simple, get insanely good at those simple things, and then it doesn't matter if they know it's coming or not, because they can't stop it."

    They are not calculating the force of the two other assistants that they deliver to the bat, one of them produces a force clockwise and the other anti-clockwise and those two are added to the initial force produced by the kick.. so technically he's very good, but the assistants helped in breaking the bat more easily !

      Very true. However, for such a powerful kick, a roundhouse kick is considered more effective and efficient due to its speed and the simplicity of performing it. It's one of the most effective kicks that can be used in a fight than many other powerful kicks.
      But is it the strongest kick? Nah, definitely not. All the kicks you've listed are much more powerful.

It looks like he doesn't pivot during the kick and instead lands his left (non kicking) foot twisted in the position it would be at the end of the kick and then throws his hips into the kick. Is that possible because he was running into the strike? and therefore if he was standing still would he need to pivot to generate the extra power missing?

    I hear the Muay Thai fighting style originated from ancient asian lumberjacking techniques.

    They usually have trouble walking as they reach 30 and higher...That shin bone is so dense, it restricts blood flow...hence, trouble with simple walking for longer periods than 30 minutes....Not advertised...

      Anderson fucked up by overtraining and not throwing a proper roundhouse kick. Both factors contributed to his leg breaking

      none of them in the ufc can break this bat. Muay Thai fighters train young SPECIFICALLY the legs only. Kicking small trees everyday, I am half thai so I've seen how tough and thick their legs are. trust me, one kick on a regular man and your leg is as good as fractured like 99% chance. my uncle was a muay thai fighter and even his leg kicks at 50% power could probably make a man limp for days and this guy is a muay thai champion so imagine that at 100% power u guys dnt understand how long it takes to get your leg this strong.

    My heavy bag is set near some steel bars, kicked a steel bar as hard as i could by accident and still have a very big bump there. I'd love to train to the point where i can break a bat
