Is there a big difference in tippy toes knee and flat-footed knee? Against someone with strong forward momentum, would being flat footed be better to avoid being pushed over during a knee? What about leaning to the side when kneeing just like how you throw your leg kicks? I know you preach critical thinking and being able to break the rules once you understand them, so I was wondering if any of these ideas are applicable
if someone is moving forward at you, you are looking for more power by going up on your tippy toes and recoiling backwards into your stance. There is no point in trying to stay flat footed and stopping your opponents momentum
Really effective and useful video! I love seeing the results of a good coaching segment. Nice collection of footage, you really see how important good balance is to the effective technique deployment. I had never heard "tippy toes" until I moved here haha, it was always "tip toes".
This was very helpful thank you! I am very hesitant with throwing knees in sparring though. Its very easy to bruise rips because its such a hart part of the body
Fascinating. Wing Chun is the complete opposite in terms of the foot on the ground being flat on the floor. I suppose the only commonality is the structure formed bending the knee to form the hitting part.
Just had a question as to why in some of your videos of sparring youre wearing the Light cotton Shinguards and in others youre wearing the ones in this video
Trying to teach it, is very difficult i can say from my experience with my students. The heel flare 45degrees is something that my fucked up hips do not like anymore in combination with the hip extension, so i decided that the hip extension is more important.(Start to get rusty) But on the rest i totally agree. What are your thoughts on the classic thai knee, where you charge it up before by pointing out the butt and striking knee and than accellerting it more from behind? (Except that it might be a bit more telegraphed?)
What happened to some of your videos? Most of your tactics videos are missing and I LOVED those ones. I think you also had a head movement video for Muay Thai as well that I can’t find.
Yo jeff, when i spar a taller opponent after closing the distance, it becomes hard for me to aim for their head as i can't really see it when i am near then with my chin tucked. Do you have any advice?
@@MMAShredded I would imagine perhaps you would be a bit more selective as to when you use long knees or clinch knees as it has the potential for it to be countered into a single leg. Unless perhaps the fear of the knee itself to make the wrestler change his set ups?
Hello Mr. Chan (I share same last name). I am hoping you read this, you should do a video on Tai Chi Quan. Sensei Seth did a video with Sifu Chris about it. It's like Taekwondo, there's a combat section part of Tai Chi. You'll be pleasantly surprised, Seth was lol. Also Sifu Miloš Drakulić (Wing Chun done right) was on Inside Fighting(smaller youtube channel). You will also be pleasantly surprised with how WC is handled there.
The way you flex your foot has absolutely no correlation with your knee sharpness. Just because you flex your toes down don't magically make your knee sharper.. It literally makes no difference. Lift your knee up and feel it with your palm, then curl your toes down. Did your knee become sharper? Absolutely not. It's literally the dumbest myth that clearly makes no sense. I remember one time in JKD class, by a coach that was mentored by Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lees disciple) that you should always have your foot flexed up or neutral in case you need to plant your foot down quickly in order to regain balance. Throwing knees mean you only stand on one leg and being in a scuffle/clinch/in-fighting with one knee up in the air is a recipe for losing balance or being tossed/tripped or takedown'd

Staying planted on your heel makes it easier for your opponent to push your weight backwards
Please, your top knee setups that would be great
definitely!!
Great technique
thankssss!!!

lmao maybe my terrible English ..
@MMAShredded not at all! It is a cute term. Now, big tough fighter guys getting a "boo-boo" is another story;)
I love your explanation, highlight circle in the slow motion video!
Thank you!!
Great video as always. I love this channel. Also I come back every so often to watch your Lyoto video, has it been taken down?
thank you bro! I wanted to re-make because the quality is bad
Very educational video, as always!
thank you!
Love your vids! I think it would be cool if you make a video about reacting to viewers’ sparring footage
thank you!
This really leveled up my knees , thanks for the great content jeff
thanks for watching!
Hey Jeff, can you make a video about how to avoid roundhouse catching, or what to do when your kicks get caught? Amazing vids! Thanks!
yes sir I can definitely do that!
wow man! this is a master course on painful spearing knees! Great stuff!
:)
By watching I will learn and thank you
:)

Can't stop watching and learning. Another great practical video. 💪
thanks man!!
I liked the buzzer. Like Family Feud.🥰
Very educational! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Hey man, i often fall forward when i do knees in the bag. How do i return back to my stance after kneeing?
What time r those classes/did u record this? It looks empty I wish my gym was like that
Just had a question as to why in some of your videos of sparring youre wearing the Light cotton Shinguards and in others youre wearing the ones in this video
Cotton shin guards easy for travelling and throwing it out later

the way super girl does it? I would consider that a clinch knee
Yes, completely other range. Thanks!
hey Jeff, can you say what is your height and weight?
I am 5'8 an currently 157 lbs!
@@MMAShredded thanks man and god bless!

Hey! The videos that have been removed is because I felt the quality was really bad and I am working on re-making better versions!
@@MMAShredded Shame, I really liked the Jorge Masvidal and Alexander Volkanovski ones. Which one of your new vids are similar?
What are your thoughts for knees against people who like to shoot takedowns?
Yo jeff, when i spar a taller opponent after closing the distance, it becomes hard for me to aim for their head as i can't really see it when i am near then with my chin tucked. Do you have any advice?
I always look at the chest, you should stil be able to aim using your peripherals! just more practice bro!
@@MMAShredded thanks man! Btw I really love your style of fighting.
Can you talk a bit more about how you would apply Muay Thai knees in a MMA context, differently than in a Muay Thai sparring session?
I would use it in the same way, maybe more when I know my opponent is a wrestler

id love to if I get the opportunity!
I felt like Jeff was just being pedantic so it was good to see that all the corrections do create a stronger knee strike.
Oh my goodness
haha
I'm gonna say Tippy Toes from now on
haha
good video jacky chan
thanks!

maybe doesnt make it sharper but gives you more speed in the strike
But bro you throw roundhouses on tippy toes. I am not a body mechanic scientist, but it's more powerful that way
I liked the buzzer. Like Family Feud.🥰
thx!!
