@@kajetanlolek5309 If I can train old dudes off the couch to kick correctly, you can work on proper technique and up your mobility. Short of a body abnormality or catastrophic injury, you can definitely turn over your kick properly. Will you ever be a head kick king? Probably not. But you can certainly save your knees and hips by learning to turn over and pivot. Its not just a better kick, it saves the rest of your joints. Seriously, if you don't have a coach that can help you with this, get a new coach.
@@kajetanlolek5309 That’s why you work on it to stretch the inner rotation to gain more hip mobility so, with constant training than yeah, you can get good hip mobility. Do the work and you’ll get there.
Dude I said the same!! I barely get tapped on the shin and I have a whole knot and bruise on it so I can only imagine this guys body after if his skin is anything like mine😂😂😂
No shit. lol my coach once demonstrated a low kick on me. And he did not use any power or speed at all. Just tap my quad. And bro, I can feel the impact. lol
I know those kicks are powerful and besides the strength also is the technique. I don’t think Senchaii was kicking 40%. Otherwise that guy would not be standing.
@@MrNataphong not just in Thai but Burmese people have a very similar english accent as well along with other southeast Asian nationality and I am Burmese my self I come from the karenni/Karen tribe.
@@kywaeh́sedits really? I have Burmese friends while I was in Univesity, but they had learned in international program so they English better than me and don't feel like Thai accent, so I think Burmese English way better than us and close to Westerner accent.
I remember Bas Ruten making this same point and what he was saying is kicking in an upward trajectory like Senchae is advising against is dangerous for you because your shin bone is like a yard stick.. it’s flat on the inner part of the leg. So the risk of your breaking your shin bone is much higher if you are hitting the side of the yardstick. By rotating your hips over, you strike with the edge of the yardstick, and avoid damage.
Yea, you also have no power kicking upward. On the other hand the "new" kicking meta of the UFC are the "wrong" kicks you are talking about because you can throw them without much telegraphing. And the stance of MMA doesn't really allow for quick kick blocks like in Muay Thai.
So glad to see him teaching that the lower shin and foot is strong. I train at two clubs and at one of them, whenever I do a roundhouse, they tell me it’s wrong and should be higher on the shin. I agree with that, only if you’re close. If you’re at range, this is the perfect technique.
Preferences/pros and cons. The ankle is dangerous because slight movement and you hit all foot. Could go bad. Also if you hit mid/low shin instead of low shin/ankle you can do more upright kicks to legs/body that don't turn over as much and still connect hard (ex-liam Harrison). Learn both and learn why and when
My boy just told me to kick with my feet upwards. I think everybody just based their preference on what’s right or wrong cus I was conditioning my shins I started to feel comfortable throwing kicks in that area ( I’m not even a Muay Thai fighter I just truly enjoy the sport and practice some of it)
same at my gym but with this part of the foot my sparring partners definitely feel it and I can manage distance a lot better.. I think for max damage they want you to hit with the shin though
The guy's a technician, he's not just blasting randomly with his shin. If he's aiming for a thigh or a rib with his instep, it's because he's sighted the target and knows it won't get checked. Kicks with that part are also longer range and a bit quicker than a shin impact. There are many different types of muay Thai fighters, not all of them do things the exact same way
It's like hitting with a stick: long one has more leverage and thus impact than a short one. But yes, you gotta time and place it well, kicking a shin or elbow will hurt a lot 😅
All those elite Thais are such good teachers. I’m only self taught but have such a love for Muay Thai. When I retire I’d like to go train for like 4-6 months, just for the fun of it. Just workout, poker and train Muay Thai. Doesn’t sound bad!
A good way to “feel it” is to picture you shoulder and knee going through your target. Also do not lean back too much or your hip won’t, actually can’t roll over. Stay upright on your kick, don’t lean back.
Obviously his technique is amazing and the angle of the kick is perfect etc, but I was taught in Muay Thai, and I’ve experienced that landing a kick at the junction between foot and shin can really hurt and over extend the ankle unless it’s a head or body shot, I was taught to connect slightly above the ankle, bottom of shin, whenever throwing a mid /low kick, if the opponent checks your kick and it’s the point where the foot meets the shin, it’s gonna hurt! Obviously the protective gear helps, and A LOT of conditioning! Not questioning the master, just saying ha
Those kicks that he was saying no to still does have it's uses. To keep your opponent at a distance while you load something up like a head kick or a punch.
Dang a really good leg kick at the beginning and dude took it like a champ while teacher feeling the hurt. Great accuracy and body rhythm throwing the hips in just at the right time to create more power behind the kick.
@@ismesheverone7653 Of course. I beat his ass in sparring every day. Jokes aside though, I don't think my statement is even controversial. Pereira clearly doesn't kick with a lot of force, but manages to remain deadly with his leg kicks by hitting the same spot over and over again and being super quick with those kicks. Also, he has basically no telegraph on them.
What’s really crazy is we’re talking about how smooth and clean that kick is when he’s using his off leg lol. His worse leg is better than our dominant ones 😭
You need to be super flexible to do kicks like this, easy for a small thai like Saenchai to do it but for most westerners it takes years of practice, to be honest our hips just dont work like thais. The rotation is what makes the power, so if you are tight make sure you have a solid warm up before a sesh and a good stretch after and don't over do it! Happy fighting ✊️✊️✊️
"To be able to get a lesson from him would be a dream".my Filipino Muay Thai fighter sister said. And I would stop at All cost! Cause I'm the "Dummie" that she practices on!!😮😢
Great refinement of a very solid technique, that however doesn’t make the less strong version useless, anything that could work will work if used in the right scenario
This kicking stance must be used in situations where we see the opponent's vulnerable goal. Then be confident that you will be able to kick without missing the target. Or the opponent didn't expect that we would kick with that part until the opponent didn't notice. We do things that our opponents cannot predict. In the Thai boxing association, we call it “liam muay” or it means intelligence in boxing. Including making the opponent unexpected about how we will solve the situation.
La gran mayoría de la gente esta confundida con la forma de patear en kik moai tay la pierna sale desde abajo en diagonal y justo cuando pega gira la cadera, es como si te dieran con un palo.
That kicks has so much range instead of hitting with the middle part of the shin! You can virtually keep them on the outside and kick staying out of pocket punches!
The kickboxing style in my opinion is only good for resetting your opponent. If you’ve already knocked your opponent off their center line you should utilize a Muay Thai style kick so you can get all the power from your hips. If your opponent is out of position they can’t punish the extra movement as easily.
It's low round house to the belly 😢 any straight kicks comes after two punches to the chin. And always time the planting of the feet for lower ankle kicks. Don't let that foot plant. For Best attack timing 😊
Basically I think he's saying you want your kick to strike at a right angle to the target in order to transfer maximum force, rather than being lazy and not lifting your knee which causes your kicks to have a higher chance of glancing off the body and wasting a lot of energy.
I was also taught in Muay Thai to kick with that part of the foot, not the shin bone. Sure, the shin might hurt more, especially if you hit with the edgy part (which in my case is very sharp like a knife 😂), But you will need to be closer to your opponent which makes you more prone to get punched, and you will have less power cause less centrifugal force.
He makes it look so smooth and effortless
It's actually not hard
@@kelvinpina3392yes, it's not but trust me, the guy feels pain.
Just have to turn ya hips
@@kelvinpina3392I know right 😂

Means you aren't pivoting when you kick. If your coach isn't spotting that and getting you to work on it, get another gym.

Its so hard to tell where Saenchai is putting that kick.... Smooth as butter
Amazing! So accurate and powerful!
The area he pointed out, where the foot connects with the distal part of the lower leg... Hurts super bad when you kick a shin or anything solid!
i agree. it is a very vulnerable part of your leg. why not shin I ask? it is more solid
Agree. Bad teaching.

You condition it to be denser over time. It's the ideal point of contact to deliver the most impact.

What a complete privilege it would be to learn from the one and only saenchai
Saenchai is one of the best Thai boxers ever. Very powerful and tactical.
