Breakdown: K1 Kickboxing Fight
I did a breakdown of a fantastic fight I recorded at the 2015 WAKO World Kickboxing Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
This quarterfinal match takes place in the -60 kg K1 Rules division between Michal Krolnik (Poland) and Timur Nadrov (Russia).
FAVORITE COMBOS FROM THIS BOUT:
1.) (Poland) - Left Inside Low Kick + Left Push Kick
2.) (Poland) - Left Push Kick + Jump Rear Knee
3.) (Poland) - Right Hook, Left Body Hook, Clinch, Left Knee
4.) (Russia) - Jab, Cross, Left Body Hook, Left Uppercut, Right Hook, Right Hook, Left Hook, Right Low Kick
5.) (Russia) - Jab, Cross, Jab, Left hand grabs opponent's guard, Pull, Right Hook, Roll Under, Left Hook, Clinch, Left Knee
IMPORTANT SITUATIONS TO WATCH:
1.) (Russia) Inside and outside slips against jab to setup overhand right or overhand left punches.
2.) (Poland) Excellent ring awareness to get away from ropes during break and reset.
3.) (Russia and Poland) Ways to avoid getting your low kicks checked a.) hook punch to make them put their check down. b.) stutter step to delay the low kick.
4.) (Russia) When getting kicked in the inside thigh, the Russian fighter adjusts his stance to southpaw and attacks without skipping a beat. This makes the low kick he was hit by look less effective.

Introduction to WAKO Kickboxing Scoring
มุมมอง 7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Have you ever wondered how WAKO Kickboxing bouts are scored? WAKO uses an Open and Cumulative scoring system that is very different than the '10-9 Must System' that most U.S. athletes are accustomed to competing under. Some athletes don't care for this system when they first learn about it, but after they see it in action and experience it in competition, they end up enjoying it. Cumulative & O...

The 4 Biggest Switch Kick Mistakes

Practicing the Hook Punch on the Heavy Bag

I've seen a lot of people struggling with their hook recently. In particular I'm seeing people hit the bag and continue rotating towards their opposite shoulder. Although it might make a great sound, it's not very practical for several different reasons. Virtually any technique you throw after the hook requires you to retract your punch back to where it came from. Let's improve this punch and w...

Low Kick Variations...Thai Style or Dutch Style? Which one should I use?

DEFENSE - Is your opponent faster than you? Are they seeing your kick coming and able to defend it? ...

    I don’t agree that is how the Dutch Style is thrown. There are both Thai and Dutch trainers that do not pivot MUCH, but you didn’t pivot at all. Ramon Dekkers and Rob Kaman are great examples. The Dutch style has power, and you have nothing on it. Sorry to completely disagree.🙏🏻

    I treat them like a jab vs a hook. In jeet kune do, we have a lead leg Dutch kick called a o'ou tek or nao tek. I use several lead Dutch kicks at a longer range to slowly dig at my opponent's ribs or guard. But I use that Thai kick to hit a lot harder, but less often.

    My background is tae kwon do. I'll happily throw a full hips-over round kick. Those without that tend to do more of a soccer/football-style kick. Hips are neutral and you just drive the leg like it's your game-winning shot on goal. I disagree that one is inherently faster than the other though. With proper training, hips over can be every bit as fast since you gain a lot of acceleration utilizing the hips and core. Otherwise, very interesting. I'd never heard it called the "Dutch style" kick. Wonder if that comes from Bas Rutten.

    Great movie and explanation. But from my experience back to 90s-2000s is first the technical aspect and second the place. if you kick at the right place you don't need a lot of power to destroy the challenger. In my time i had 58kg and were able to destroy a 95kg man with one low-kick. Let me say easier, Technic + Speed + the right place is the solution of a hard successful low kick. by the way, at this time we trained min. 2times/ week 1-2hour low kicks.

    22:39 how can it be that 1 kick made the scoring change so much? I've thought 2 judges having him in front with 1 point. So if the other guy score 1 it should be even, instead of him being behind by just losing 1?

    • @MrCharlietoma

    • @fightingformula
      @fightingformula 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is an awesome question! Thank you! Under WAKO rules, in the case of a draw, the electronic scoring system automatically awards the decision to the fighter that scored more points in round 3. With the situation you point out, the fight is 1-2 in favor of the blue corner, but if you look below the time clock you can see each individual judge’s score. In actuality, Judge #2 has the fight a draw at that moment, but the system has broken that draw in favor of Red because Judge #2 has scored more points for red in this third round. A little later a single kick is scored. This brings Judge #2’s scorecard from even to +1 Red. It also brings Judge #1’s scorecard from +1 Blue to even; but as Jude #1 has also scored more points in this final round for Red, the tie-breaker is automatically given to Red. This creates the 2-1 Red score. At 23:10 there is a brief moment where the score becomes 3-0 Red, however 2 of the judges have their score tied. Again, this is a very unique situation and we greatly appreciate you bringing attention to it, and helping us to share knowledge with our athletes, coaches, and fans.

    So you throw the Dutch style low kick like an inside crescent kick, but you make contact the side of the shin? I thought the reason you turn your hip over was to hit with the top of the shin?

    • @fightingformula
      @fightingformula 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, I still want to hit with the top of my shin. With the Dutch style kick, the majority of my hip rotation is in the kicking leg. In the Thai style kick, my hip rotation is in the kicking leg + the support leg. I don't recommend making contact with the side of the shin, there is way too much potential for injury that way.

One was teaching dutch style kickboxing and the other Muay Thai but both gyms had fighters competing under Muay Thai rules. Different tools but I could've used both and limited myself to what was suggested.

    Does the Dutch Style have sub styles as well like the Thais? Like in Muay Thai they have Muay femur, Muay Mat, Muay khao, Muay Sok, and Muay Tae. In boxing we have four main styles called Swarming, Outboxing, Slugging and Boxer-Puncher Style. I know that Dutch fighters are generally aggressive but im interested to see a slick dutch style fighter cuz i have never seen none actually althougj i believe that dutxj fighters have better footwork mobility and head movement than thais but i saw more slick muay thai fighters than dutch kickboxers like saenchai samart and lordsila. And also do the dutch style have sub styles at all?

    • @kma3647
      @kma3647 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My suggestion is don't overanalyze. You can kick anywhere you want on the leg with both techniques. The difference is just in the hip. Ideally, you'd drill both styles kicking to the lower leg and the upper leg, and with your front and rear leg. I would advise against practicing aiming for the knee though. These are street kicks or combat kicks, usually banned in competition because of the terrible injuries they cause to the knee joint. Always keep your sparring partner around for the next class =D

      A Muay mat is basically a Dutch fighter. I agree with him, don’t overanalyze. When you spar or fight, you can’t always be a Muay Mat, sometimes you have to adapt and change. There is no fixed style. You give what your opponent offers you.

    Do I want to do the slide step from a longer range or close range? I was taught by my boxing 🥊 coach to take a 90 degree angle 📐 pivot either left side or right side. He said you can take it at long range then attack. Yet recommended double jab right hand in close range then pivot left or right 90 degree angle 📐 to start your attack over again. To be honest with you I really like this slide step it seems much more smoother and easier of a transition in between movements than what I was taught using the 90 degree angle pivot to the left of right. I’m Going to be training this more. Lately I’ve been practicing a left or right lateral movement step then combination or one punch attack. Yet this is offers you better balance without getting off balance with the 90 degree angle 📐 pivot that I was taught. Thanks. I will be training this.

      @fightingformula 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Andrew! I'm happy to hear you appreciate the techniques. And yes, I was fortunate to be able to compete for Team USA and against some of the best professionals in the world. You bring up some great questions! First of all, I suggest experimenting with different techniques/methods and find what works best for you. What works best for you might not be best for me and vice versa. Additionally, a technique that works against one opponent may not work as well against another opponent. My thoughts: If I can create a 90 degree angle on my opponent, it's game on! However that may be difficult, especially against higher level opponents. A higher level opponent will see and react to your movement faster. A 90 degree angle may also take more steps or more time to execute than a smaller angle would. And a 90 degree angle at a boxing distance is vastly different than a 90 degree angle at kicking range. Personally, I always try to get my opponent to freeze or shell-up before attempting to angle and I'm fine with a 30-45 degree angle as it is faster to execute and still gives me an advantage before they adjust. Train hard!
