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.

@DLS441 8 жыл бұрын

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.

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 !

+Tre' Roney 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.

The whole time all I wanted to see was a camera angle of him throwing the kick with his standing leg in the shot. 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?

look at UFC fighter like Anderson Silva, he have black belt in Muay Thai, taekwondo, Capoeira, and BJJ. Martial Arts specialisation and superiority complex is stupid because each Martial Arts have their own pro and weakness. Thats why UFC fighters, which their goal is to beat the opponent with any styles he can, train many Martial Arts. Taekwondo and Muay Thai kicks both have their own pro and cons. Taekwondo fighter can produce more force from all their body rotation but Muay Thai fighter can produce faster kick which is critical in real fight with opponent who are not trained with similar styles than you. You can watch of Taekwondo fighter vs Muay Thai fighter in youtube when the Taekwondo fighter cannot even kick his opponent because before he completed his perfect rotation Taekwondo kick he already kicked down by "weaker" but much faster Muay Thai kicks. In real life fighting harder dont always give better result.
