- When striking from the standing position it is very important to understand how to set up you attacks. Without proper set-ups you can find yourself getting countered. The pendulum kick is a powerful way to set up your strikes and is often used in Muay Thai and K1 fights.
I have worked many of the best fighters in the world and I have seen many great fighters who with this simple attack where able to control there opponent. The pendulum kick is the equivalent of the Jab in boxing a skill which takes years to master. - กีฬา

Hi
Firas is without a doubt one of the G.O.A.T in MMA!
Thanks guys please keep liking and Sharing and I will make more!
Tristar Gym
these videos are by far the best on the internet... Basic stuff everyone can do but always with a high level concept behind it
The details in these "How to fight" series, like ending the kick square and repositioning or considering both of the oponents possible reactions, are what put them above the rest of the instructionals you normally see on youtube. Great material! Keep them coming!
rory was kicking with his lead leg very efficiently and beautifully against robbie in their second fight much respect to both fighters and camps
Thank alot, really appreciate you taking time out of your day to make these! VERY HELPFUL
Great point about retracting out of danger, and minimizing exposure by keeping head back..instantly subscribed.
Best mma coach in the world!!!! He doesn't get as much credit as he deserves!!! A genius!
I have seen this with one of your fighters... I cant remember if GSP or Rory did it. But this technique is simple but really effective. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us
Excellent. Perfect instruction as usual, thanks!
Great instruction and details on the head movement was on point I needed this
Great set up for a lot of kicks that's awesome. I love the way you can slip and move after on the side that's deadly.
awesome, I never knew that before thx!
We use this footwork all the time in JKD -- I like the variation of stepping back with the kicking leg. Very cool.
Agreed. I have been doing JKD for a very long time and seeing someone else do this in a functional way is awesome!
Bryan Smith yes. It is used a lot also in Kyokushin.
Muay Thai learns a lot from other martial arts. What surprises is when it defines these techniques as it's own
why ppl who do jkd always trying to flex on the internet . its because u niqqas can't fight
@@SylvesterMolokoane you still stuck in the 80's like a dumb bitch
@@vitorfogaco6559???
This level of teaching is just fucking ridiculously GOOOOD
best coach firas
I like your youtube channel and im learning a lot...for this i want to point out that its important to throw a fake with the hand and the kick. Its basic but still a lot of professionals dont do it and they not only get blocked but also countered.
Woow... nice videos ive been watching a few ... and they are very very well explained. Thank you for shearing your knowledge. Saludos desde México. Some day ill be there with you guys training!
really helpful thank you firas ...please can you make videos about what is the best for fighters who use ranged strikes style?
great videos!
Awesome
merci!
not to criticize because this is awesome, and as one person already mentioned, the pendulum is used quite frequently in JKD...I would just say that after you have landed the kick and brought the attacking leg back to center, all you have to do is move the rear foot back to regain your distance, without giving up ground. basically a full pendulum. I don't like to give ground, so this technique is perfect for attacking and making a choice to move or stay in range to set up other stuff! Thanks for posting Sir!
It's really a matter of the fighter's preference. I would rather go in, do damage, and go out like Firas has shown. His method is the safer route for a MMA setting. you're far less susceptible to takedowns or counters if you're not in the pocket to get countered. Your opponent can't hit what's not there.
especially in a MMA setting, you definitely want to deny your opponents from gaining any chance to earn points.
You're the boss
Classic kung fu move, wasn't aware it was present in muay thai as well. Good for muay thai fighter it is because its damn powerful!
In kung fu this half step can be used to set up any kick and makes them more powerful than if thrown standing still.
I highly recomend anyone interested in the striking aspect of fighting to look these techniques up!
great video!! more please!
Nise.
When you do the leg kick and bring your left leg back to make your stance square. Are acceptable for single or double
Mr Firas Zahabi, was the pendulum kick made famous by Sagat Petchyindee?
What are those venum shin guards buddy is wearing...i want em
Cant seem to getthe timing right, its hard kicking with my lead leg lol. Any tips from anyone who had this issue?
Mr zahabi, are u kicking on the balls of your feet for the pendelum kick?
is this kick specific to vs. orthodox, or can it be used against southpaws as well?
theomen49 I think Justin G used it repeatedly on Michael Johnson
Also called a "fast kick" (at least where I trained) in taekwondo.
the kick is with the shin right?
ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣ ΜΑΥΡΙΚΗΣ Yes all kicks in muay thai is with the shin except the front teep kick which uses the ball of the foot.
This guy sometimes sounds like vaas from far cry 3
This is called a shove round house in taekwondo. The only exception is the aim is the legs not the upper body or the head
if only knowing the names of things could make you a better fighter lol
Bad form pendulum
