What do you think about what happened with JRE recently? Many people don't know this today, but Joe Rogan is one of the best kickers of all time in the MMA space. As a national US Taekwondo champion and a BJJ blackbelt, he could've become a high level MMA fighter if he wanted. Instead, he became a host and podcaster. About 9 years ago, he gave me support when I had no audience. Along the way, he's given me support many times publicly and through messages too. When things got hard, it was his podcast and the guests he brought on that helped me get through so many moments. Thank you Joe, for everything you've done. I hope that your light will continue to shine through for people to see. Saenchai's Super Course: www.saenchaimuaythai.com/

Muay Thai and Taekwondo is actually a really effective combination for striking focused Martial Art's. Muay Thai gives you very good infighting ability, combined with an effective defense against some of the primary weaknesses of Taekwondo in full-contact fighting, whilst TKD gives you great distance management (because you absolutely need this to ever pull kicks off even in sparring or point fighting) and a variety of long ranged options that you can use to exploit opponents as you re/engage. This is common even in Muay Thai sparring/fights, as fighters commonly break after an exchange, then return to infighting, so throwing out a good spinning back/sidekick which can absolutely end fights if the opponent walks onto it, but is useful even just as a tool to break guards or injure an opponent so you can re-enter their range with an advantage if you follow-up appropriately. Cyrus Washington has done this quite extensively within Muay Thai competition, and Muay Thai fighters have started to pick up longer ranged kicks in recent years. If you throw some Boxing into this, you end up with an extremely well-rounded striking toolset. You can also replace TKD with Kyokushin somewhat, because Kyokushin has adopted many TKD style kick's, though it has less distance management, but makes up for that by teaching you how to high kick at extremely close range!

Cancel culture's worst aspect is the disregard to allow people to grow from their mistakes and become better individuals. It literally pauses a person from growing. That's a huge problem! We need people to feel vulnerable and admitting their mistakes with a genuine want to be better instead of harassing them for being wrong in turn never allowing them to understand their mistakes. Otherwise more people will stop admitting their faults in fear of harassment. There's a difference between accountability and harassment.

Wow, his spinning back kick is a masterpiece! I could not catch by eye the final, leg extention part of the move, even if accentuate attention on this!

What an awesome time to put out a Joe Rogan video.

The MMA community knows Joe's character and needs to stand firmly behind him in support. His honest and sincere approach to communication and the sharing of knowledge has improved the world in numerous ways. The man is a leader and a legend, and he brings a voice of sanity to this insane world we're living in right now.

the precision of the question mark kick is insane

2 words: Valentina Shevchenko. Started in TKD, watched Benny Urquidez fights when she was young and was inspired to use spinning techniques, then won pretty much everything there is to be won in kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA.

I love the spinning back kick to the liver

his round kick looks like he adopted more of the muay thai style kick coupled with that crazy dexterity he got from taekwondo

Lawrence a lot of Thai boxers have gotten knocked out or have trouble with non trad Thai moves. As you’ve seen Singdam has been knocked out twice by spinning hook kicks, seems to be a weakness. You also see a lot of Thais have trouble fighting Sanda specialists. Which have similar moves to tkd.

It's amazing that how motivational a one person can be. Love Joe.

from someone who does boxing, judo, ITF and WTF taekwondo, this man is amazing. form to power of the kick, the execution of the leg cocking back and extending is just bravo.

The most underrepresented but imo one of the best techniques from tkd that can be used in other striking is the ability to kick and move back at the same time. Firing a rear leg while moving your front leg to where your rear foot was allows you to throw a hard kick move back without losing balance. It is very hard to do though and switches your stance which is a big no no for a lot of kickboxers but if you can get good at it, it's very useful for striking and maintaining distance.

Wallahi bro you are a great man he supported you when no one knew you now as you have grown a following you are supporting him in his time of need...we stand with Joe Rogan bruv.💪🏼

One of the best examples I loved you showing was super kick Vick. Tkd and boxing. When Thai boxing wasn’t as popular.

I used to train with Dave Johnston in Albuquerque back in the day. The guy had incredible kicks not only was he a World champion kickboxer he had great forums too. All around great martial artists a lot people would probably never know.

Thank you for giving credit where credit is due. Alot of mma fanboys don't want too admit the amount of high level tkd we see in mma.

Joe Rogan is a primary example of how someone can be an expert, even brilliant in one area, and not in others. I will always value his insight into MMA (and combat sports in general) and most of his comedy.

This channel is amazing I can't stop watching the videos. I have been training mma for about 18 months and want to have my first amateur kickboxing fight later this year or early 2023. Striking is just so much fun and so fascinating to me

I did Taekwondo for 12 years. However I also trained with MT, Judo, and Kung-fu. I firmly believe the statements of Joe Rogan to be true on how effective those moves to be used. It makes me enjoy the fact that I had the opportunity to train in the Power TKD days. I'm glad now more people are starting to see that TKD gets the love that it deserves. Because It also teaches us to be well rounded fighters once we step into other arts! Loved the video!

Love content like this. Makes my already huge love for martial arts grow so much more

Rogan is The man 🤙

the famous turning side kick (not actually a back kick) was taught to Joe Rogan by J.H. Kim when Joe studied with him at his Boston, Mass. dojang in the 80s. He also learned other TKD basics there, including the wheel kick, which he won tournaments with and knocked out some of his opponents.

Joe Rogan I've always had major respect for you, but man I've gotta say you're such a great artist and wise, such a beast

Another beautiful brake down we expect nothing less from the best channel on the tube 💯🥊.

You’re a real man. I found you because of JRE and sub instantly.

I learnead about your channel from Joe Rogan. You're both great human beings.

Rogan made me someone I’m prouder of today. And you sir are my martial arts wizard 🧙‍♀️ Amazing vid as always and what a kick.

As a TKD and muay thai guy... GREAT VID! And Joe will be ok...

In Axe or Kusarigama training they teach you to counter the turning side kick by diving under and reap or sweep the leg, not sure how common it was in armed combat but it was still taught so common enough i guess.

Brilliant video mate and I wouldn’t want to take on of joes spinning side kicks I would be tasting my intestines 🤣🤣

Thanks man... wonderfull !!! Impressive Kicks by Joe...

Im doing kickboxing but apparently my teacher did takewondo in his youth. Because we are learning all those kicks for the different belts

Loving this on so many levels. Stay real bro 👊

4:11 I've been trying to say this to Muay Thai guys in TKD video's, tkd can work if you understand the fundamentals first

so glad i subbed

Really appreciate this video. Equally disappointed in the ufc and rest of commentary group for not walking out to support him.

A great video!! Joe Rogan is an amazing guy, I’ve not met him but done so much amazing work

Nailed it Joe 👌 tried and tested great technique..

Amazing videos

Grate thanks 🙏🏽

Hats off for supporting Joe and keep up the great content!

Amazing!!!! Joe's the man! Great work, Lawrence

I love your KZfaq. I also love joe💜

Another great video. One of the best channels 💯

Great upload.

Oh sht, just realized Joe does his spinning hook kick and connects with his heel. Old school TKD destruction style. A true knockout kick.

Love the show of love.

Excellent video. Impressive kicks.

give that to the MSM !

Thanks so much for the video💯😁

The amount of rotational torque Joe generates is phenomenal, so much power and speed, much respect.

Man , Joe has a wicked kick ! Respect Canada

Love your videos man! What's the name of the soundtracks ? it's amazing !

They sound like *BAP!*

I just love what the thumbnail says lmao

Vitor and Luke rockhold is a dandy example of the spinning heel kick as well

I gave up trying to watch Joe's kick from his younger years in that comp, its just so so bloody quick! One questhion I have is how can somone block a kick like this?

His kicks are absolutely legendary, such perfection in the technique. Did TKD for 4 years and just the subtlety of his form...makes my jaw drop.

Well spoken

Thanks for the video! He has some skill for sure.

Great upload!

The era of power is scary, but taekwondo choose the bad route in the name of "safety" and that's makes a huge drop.

Benny "the jet" Urquidez would use the question mark kick almost exclusively aswell.

3:51 the speed between those two kicks is amazing

Joe Rogan was so awesome on fear factor.

Mad respect

His hitting a BLACK bag!!!! 🥺

at 1:59 was Benny Urquidez! Ive never heard Joe Rogan give any props to Benny

Joe was always one of the best and most credible ambassadors of martial arts. But since I realized, that he decided to not bow to the mainstream and its culture of spreading fear and hate and cancellation of persons who don't agree with what we are globally told to believe, I truly truly admire him. He became a role model for my own life.

It really warms my heart to see all the support from the martial arts community for Joe Rogan :D

Spinning back kick is a killer

Joe Rogan's kicks are super powerful, whatever he said about martial arts I trust completely.

I like your work. I believe in you!!!

Cung Le was also a TKD black belt

I'm surprised Joe Rogan's roundhouse kicks are so good coming from a Taekwondo/karate background! I expect ridiculously effective roundhouse kicks from Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai Champion but usually American karate kicks are not as effective shall I say. Hats off to Joe Rogan! I'd hate to be on the receiving end of one of those kicks! Thanks for standing up for Joe Rogan!

This is a great channel

The reason why I and many others have a better outlook on the world today. He unknowingly guided, if not created a vast majority of the martial arts community Doing more for people than many who work for your own government. Kicks like a beast also.

Lol, love the title, either way he will be fine. 100 mil is a good chunk of change

spinning back kick to the ribs hurt like hell. that's why you never get predictable with your strikes.

Thank to god we have Joe Rogan

Hell yeah man!

Love this video. Not only is Joe one of greatest international ambassadors of martial arts, he’s the quintessential free thinker who is willing to entertain dialogue with individuals of any and all political and philosophical stripes. It’s his unwillingness to capitulate to the enemies of free speech that makes him a threat and thus a target. Keep spreading the good word!

• turning side kick • spinning back kick

Thnx. Didn't know Joe Rogan was a TKD Champ of USA. Salutations to this great man, Joe Rogan.

this wheel kick is a thunder

5:35 is Kyokushin Feitosa is Kyokushin.

Id love to learn a minimum of 3 martial arts, anywhere up to 8 of them , wow imagine a UFC fighter being able to do some of the things that people can do in taekwondo or certain wowza kicks in general

more taekwondo videos please

I would never fu@k with Joe Rogan.

Joe poderia ter tentado algumas lutas nessa época, tinha mais tecnica do que a maioria que se ve hoje fazendo feijaozinho com arroz

Pure beast he is

I mean Joe does have some very powerful kicks, he's stout dude with some nice speed in them and his movement as well. tho His range of how and what he can do with them is not exactly what you would expect out of tae Kwon do, really reminds me more of a fast Muay Thai style almost than it does tkd with the exception of some of techniques he uses like the spinning and jump kicks(which he seems to avoid more of the really getting into the air with with it, which is tactically smart in most situations anyway) however for his body type he picked the better approach for him personally. Overall no complaints, legitimately impressed with his ability to use it especially some of the more flashy style kicks, takes alot more physical ability and training to make those work. He's definitely put some effort into training

I'm going to say this, taekwondo won't work against me, but Joe Rogan's taekwondo will kill me from a stare.

What music is playing at the background could anyone pls Id?

Joe will prevail.

his kicks are devastating. can't imagine taking brute force from one of those

He could call you for an episode, would bem awesome.

Mr. Joe is there anything that is just called a spin kick in TKD? Some jack-ass on KZfaq was talking shit about How he knocks people out with a "Spin" kick I told him I never heard of a spin kick in any discipline! He told me I didn't know what I was talking about! Can you clear that up for me? Thanks!
