I kind of wanted to hear more about that Bill "Superfoot" Wallace Seminar, maybe you could do a video going over some of his tactics

Great video! Really enjoyed this one. Brings up a good idea for another with hook kick variations, hatchet kick, etc.

Really love the ol' hatchet kick. Best of both worlds with the hook and axe kick. It comes down at a funky angle that can catch folks off guard.

I feel like crescents are underrated. Hook kicks definitely are, someday I'll figure it out

@martialartsunlimited01 Жыл бұрын

I can see that. And I think they are easier for most people to execute as well.

The front kick is underrated and its usefulness is vastly above the sidekick. A properly trained and executed rear leg front kick has incredible power and can stop fights, while the front leg one has so much defensive and range-controlling utility (ask the Thais?!..). And then there's the famous Machida/Silva showstopper.

Very Underrated in my opinion as well. I was training for an MMA fight like 10 years ago and my sparring partner landed a couple good hits, I nailed him with a good front kick and dropped him. So if the timing is right it can be a fight ender too. I think Shane Fazen has one of the sneakiest front kicks/teeps that I've seen personally.

The only things I disagree w is the front kick and roundhouse. I think if you’re not a kicker and you only want to incorporate one kick, it can be basically immediately implemented to devastating effect. And I also think the roundhouse is overrated because everyone who does it but doesn’t he’s soar thinks of any one lands it’s an instant ko and that’s just an unrealistic expectation.

@martialartsunlimited01 Жыл бұрын

So you like the front kick over the round (roundhouse) kick? I would agree as well. Yet I also know that it will come down to many variables, footing, ground, balance, footwear, clothing, flexibility, etc. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.

@adamzandarski8933 Жыл бұрын

@@martialartsunlimited01 I think one should learn both and implement as needed. But ya I think the front kick can be immediately implemented by almost any fighter and be very useful, whereas a round kick will take more practice to get any good at. Also I don’t think the front kick gives one the illusion that they’re going to ko people with it, whereas the round kick kinda does. Front; easy to learn, low skill ceiling. Round; hard to learn, way higher skill ceiling

@joshuaowens3611 Жыл бұрын

I agree with most of these, but the ones I disagree with I EXTREMELY disagree with. Round kick is overrated not because of overuse by the untrained , but by overuse by everybody and his brother trained or otherwise. Reverse (spin) side kick just takes time to develop, but when developed well, it can be devastating. And no, mine does not suck 😂😂

@martialartsunlimited01 Жыл бұрын

Yeah I thinks that was what I thought too, just everyone knows or thinks they know how to round kick.

@simoneriksson8329 Жыл бұрын

I feel like the roundhousekick is overated because 1: it is much more difficult to learn technicaly correct than the frontkick and sidekick 2: It is the kick that UFC-fighters snap their shins throwing

@martialartsunlimited01 Жыл бұрын

That's true, yet I wonder what the % is for those that snap. How many thrown vs how many break. It's probably like .03%.

@simoneriksson8329 Жыл бұрын

@@martialartsunlimited01 good point, it is probably a very low chans for something like that to happen. I really like my legs though and not sure I am willing to take that risk 😊

Do they throw the Brazilian kick in karate (presumably by some other name)? I feel like if you say "no", Jesse Enkamp will emerge from the ether to say otherwise 🥋

@@martialartsunlimited01 Question Mark Kick made famous by Kyokushin Karateka Glaube Feitosa. Official term in Karate is Mae Mawashi Kubi Geri I believe.

@honigdachs. Жыл бұрын

That kick came from Karate. It's called the brazilian kick because many brazilian Kykokushin guys made it popular (Francisco Filho, Glaube Feitosa, Ademir da Costa).
