    In this fight training video, Bas Rutten teaches how to not break your shin.
    Bas Rutten is a legendary Dutch kickboxer and mixed martial artist. He is a 3 time Pancrase World Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion. This is an excerpt from DESTROYIG OPPONENTS WITH STRIKES available from DynamicStriking.com.
    Dynamic Striking was started by a pair of black belts (Bernardo Faria & Michael Zenga) who feel that nothing is more important than improving your striking skills as much as possible in the least amount of time. Their aim was to create a shop for students interested in striking who don’t look at mixed martial arts as a sport - but as a lifestyle.

    Thank you. Been trying to tell people that for over 40 years. They don't listen(until something goes wrong),because they want that extra quickness to the kick. I would council fighters that leg kicking(as most things in life) isn't always so much about speed as it is about timing.

    • @DagwoodDogwoggle
      @DagwoodDogwoggle Рік тому +21

      Hey, me too. Not the leg kick thing, but the timing thing. Everyone I trained used to say, "I'm trying, but I'm not as quick as you." I always told them I wasn't quick, I just had better timing because I knew where they were going to be. Timing beats speed almost always.

      ​​@@weilzudopeconditioning, it's a long process for hardening your bones that will sustain constant impact. Back in the day it was trees and the wooden dummy, nowadays there is the heavy bag or smacking your shin with a wooden handle. Go slowly and don't rush this process because if you do, you would end up injuring yourself permanently. Also, get some Thai oil or linament made from Chinese herbs, put it onto your shin after the session to speed up recovery and reduce pain or inflammation, don't get the shin wet for an hour until the medicine has soaked in though, after its completely absorbed then you can take a bath or shower

      It is not a black and white matters. Smart fighters can quickly assess the situation and change their kicking technique accordingly. I always use"inferrior"/riskier kicking technique similar to jabs, but for power kicks, I always use the Muay Thai technique.

    Here's a fun way to find out if you're kicking with the correct part of your shin. Take a piece of 1x2 lumber, maybe 6-feet long, and support it so it's vertical (90* to the ground). Now, using around 25% power (don't kick too hard!), kick the flat side. You'll know immediately where you're making contact. Odds are that you're not opening your hips as much as you think you are, because you're probably not pivoting far enough on your supporting foot, and you're actually throwing an incorrect outside-inside crescent kick.

    • @ScottGarrettDrums
      @ScottGarrettDrums 2 роки тому +6

      @Wiley Temmer If you're kicking with power, absolutely. Note that I very clearly said "using 25% power" and "don't kick too hard!" This is not shin conditioning and this is not a board breaking exercise. This is merely a LOW POWER test to see if you're using the correct weapon. But, as far as your trepidation for kicking a 3/4" piece of wood. Lawlz. Little kids break 1" thick pieces of pine in McDojo's across the nation with their bare hands and feet.

      ​@ScottGarrettDrums wish i could see wiley's comment. I just finished kicking through four one-half-inch thick bamboo shafts lashed together.
      Im assuming his trepidation is related to the flatness of pine boards and the necessity to hit it flush with grain, anything else and yeah man that stings lol

    I've been kickboxing since 1994 and I had no idea it was because of the angle of the kick/bone. This makes so much sense. I always assumed it was either lack of conditioning, steroids, or both. Either way it makes sense that we would see it so much in MMA. More fighters with less specialized technique and more unconditioned shins compared to kickboxing.

    @PatrickTheThird1 2 роки тому +39

    I would think that in addition to what Bas is saying here it would also be more damaging to your opponent kicking this way. The sharper “blade” of the shin bone would hurt muscles it connects with more than the wide side of the shin bone. Same force only a smaller point of contact, so it would be more concentrated power at the point of contact.

    • @Altanirves
      @Altanirves 11 днів тому

      Yes you're right. Also, the more perpendicular the kick connects, the more damage it makes, hence why the leg movement has to come from above if you're kicking the thigh, and there's that point on the thigh where it's not protected by muscles so much, this is where you wanna kick, and finally if you can find the time, tiptoe on your support foot when you lift your leg, then drop your body weight when you land your kick, it adds more power.

    Risk and award management is what it is all about. Shevechenko said it perfectly when she mentionend that the calf kick is a very dangerous technique. Its trajectory is different from a low kick, hence it will be much more difficult to kick as mentionend and adviced by Bas since you'll have more of a shallow upward swing and the leg is held more straight like a bat, making it more difficult to kick with the pointed part of the shin. Thus it will be inevitable that we will see more tibia breaking.

    I’d love to know where / who you guys are learning from.
    This is elementary stuff and you guys are here in awe and idolizing.
    The magnitude of why this is is greater than I thought.

      I learned to open the hips at the last moment, it's a bit less powerfull but it conceal the intention way longer. At the opposite of opening the hips at the beginning of the kick, and then you see a weight shift and see the hips opening, that's kind of easier to see coming if you pay attention. With that technique to open the hips at the last moment, when it's checked, the contact happens a bit before the normal point of contact, so in some cases, the shin might still be going in an upward motion

    Tense your foot and ankle (toes and foot up not pointed is best), and restrict the flex in your knee. This tension in your muscle and tendons act like rebar in reinforced concrete, strengthening the bone dramatically.

    Chopping down generates a ton more power, too. You can connect if you precede the kick with distractions.
