Situations where you can kick confidently: 1. Opponent gives no reaction when you feint 2. Opponent tends to plant their lead foot 3. During a combo, preferably if it's not the first strike 4. After a hook. If an opponent is guarding or ready to check, the idea is to give them a nice hook to the head to make them plant their foot then whack at it. Ernesto Hoost was a master at it.
He throws straight leg kicks. Maybe that’s more Thai style? I know Barboza trained Muay Thai TKD and karate. But he seems like someone pretty good at Muay Thai leg kicks.
@@dontblink3042 nah he does downward kicks. Right before his famous wheelkick knockout, you can see him throw a downward kick that Terry Etim attempts to check
@@MH-zg5yw Exactly ppl don't understand that conditioning your shins isnt some cure all. That low part of the tibia and fibula can always be compromised with one wrong kick.
@@MH-zg5yw nah yes there is more risk but part of the advantage of leg kicks is distance just understand what you are doing that is the key placement ansd setups are the most important and not slamming it as hard as you can and not knowing where it lands is bad
Conditioning is part of it. But bad technique is the main culprit. Like said in the video, you should try to angle your shin downward when kicking the legs. You have gravity on your side which makes it powerful, and the angle makes it slide downward if checked instead of just bowing around the other person's shin. And throwing hard round kicks without anything preceding it. Honestly if you are just reaching with a round kick take a little something off of it and just keep hitting the same spot over and over to eventually swell the thigh or calf. Really whip one in as hard as you can after you distract with punches or other kicks.
About checking low kicks. I only done MT for 1.5 years (i´m 41!), and there is one special detail in the checking technique I never heard anyone speak of, not my coaches, and they even disregard it when I talk about it. It's about when you are lifting your leg to check an incoming kick, how you actually raise your leg, what muscles you use. The way we are taught is to simply lift up the leg, using the muscles of the hip flexors. Now, try to do this in a starting position where you don´t have the foot placed on the ground, try just one inch above. It´s not explosive, it´s heavy and it feels like it requires much energy to do it, right? For me as a beginner, not very conditioned - can pretty easily feel the subtle difference of moving parts of the body, how cumbersome it is.
Now this; Plant the foot on the ground in a regular stance. Try shoot up your leg from the toes in an "explosive" way using the muscles of your calf to initiate the explosion, Goes much faster, don´t you think? Now I tried these techniques with many repititions. I did 50 with the traditional technique (foot planted to simulate realism) and then after resting i did 50 with the calf-explosion technique. Using the hip flexion made me dead tired and I felt a lot of pain during the end. The second technique I was still tired, but not as much pain, and I didnt crash. And then, I had a friend record me on video, in slow motion and measure the time how fast I could get up the knee using the different techniques. It seems to be around half the time in difference! And it feels like using a lot less energy!
When thinking about it, the calves are used so very much in all our daily motion, and it feels like the calves have much more endurance than the hip flexors. True because I read that the calf has 80% slow twitch fibers, where the hip flexors have 40%. This explains why im not so tired after using the calf more dominant than the hip flexors. I don´t understand why I can use the calfes so explosively even though it lacks the fast twitch fibers compared to the hip flexors. Now is this going too deep into details that dont matter, or is it wise to consider because we also use the hip flexors for knee strikes and such, and can add upp to tiredness? What do you think, tell me please. :)
You mean it easier to to lift knee when you use only front haft of the foot to touch the ground(tipping up), You are right about it cuz in muay thai stance you stand on rear foot only and the front foot is tipping up ready to block. but you can't stay that way for long in the ring cuz you have to move around and it get more tired to tipping your foot than just rest it fully on ground. Nakmuay thai do tipping up their front leg in 1 or 2 round at most
I've always naturally done this. You ever sit in a chair with balls of your feet on the ground and let your knee bounce, almost automatically . Same concept
Also, it is important to note that calf kicks are available in MMA in a way they aren't available in MT, as such calf kicks have shown a much larger efficacy than thigh kicks in MMA and do not present any where near as high of a risk to a tibia break.
I honestly think that there's another component that is often left out in fighting channels and communities due to misinformation and that is heavy strength training. There is EMG data that show that the stronger one is, the harder the bone density. So if you have a powerlifter who can squat 500lbs, he is gonna have harder bone density than the dude who can only squat 225lbs. This is why I am a huge proponent of strength training and why I find it highly underrated in MMA, Muay Thai, and Martial Arts in general.
Same, I throw them at a downward trajectory, and then with body kicks I'll throw throw diagonally upwards, this way they go in and up into the body/ribcage etc and causes a lot of damage.
*A WARNING MOST PEOPLE HAVEN’T THOUGHT OF* Learned this just the other day where I nearly injured myself. This same injury could happen to your forearm. When throwing elbows at the bag, be careful to only hit with your actual elbow and avoid hitting it with parts of your forearm. I made this mistake and I went home with major pain in my forearm bone, just because of one inaccurate strike. Be careful out there everyone.
Im never scared of low kicks. While facing the Muay guys, I stand squared up. *I MEET THEIR SHIN WITH MY KNEE* EVERY TIME THEY THROW A LOW KICK. Then i smile at them when i see them hurt. 🙏
Video couldn’t have come at a better time. I severely hurt my toe going for one and it’s gotten to me. I have no fear throwing them extremely fast because I’m extremely fast but the problem is, I don’t quite know how to throw them as fast as I can without really driving it through so it leaves having to slow it down a bit in sparring giving my partner more time to check
I think pulling the hips before impact works (basically you initiate the rechambering even before the kick ends). this build bad habbit in real situations (competitions or something) though so I only use this to show off from time to time without having to worry about my leg and my partner's haha
Watch out not to throw a kind of soccer kick where youre keeping your body away and just letting your leg go. If you keep your core tight, hand up on your ear and roll your shoulders and hips through your opponent then you can really sit your weight behind your kick and drive it down and through. Try use your higher shin bone, your toes should be pointed down and quite far out of the way.
I agree Muay Thai fighters work conditioning much more then MMA fighters. Also both Connor McGregor and Anderson Silva have admitted at some point, that they did very little hard sparring leading up to their fights. Instead focusing more on the game plan, specific to that opponent. I also believe weight cutting and PED's play a part.
Please do a video on Tony Ferguson’s inside leg kick, it’s like he sprints into it and throws it at his opponent. He threw against Edson Barboza in the beginning of the fight and also threw it at Pettis.
I saw wonderboy's video where he told how he conditions shin and involved hitting his shin with a wooden stick although not harshly. What is your openion on that? Wonderboy is a pro afterall.
I do it. Just get an axe handle and gently tap up and down the length of the shin, just enough that you feel it, but not so much that it is really painful. It will swell up that area just a tiny bit and usually by the next day the swelling is gone. And my shins seem much harder. I think that the people who smash their shins get the little divets like he mentions in the video.
I've seen someone speculate that another part of the reason you don't see this in Muay Thai is that Thai fighters tend to throw more kicks to the quad/thigh, whereas in mma kicks to the calf are a big thing, and where you see these breaks. (They also speculated that Thai fighters avoid calf kicks basically to avoid the breaks, because they know everyone they fight is going to be so good at checking kicks.) Does that seem like a reasonable explanation? After watching this, I'm wondering if that plays in with the part about the angle of the kick, like if you're aiming for the quad, maybe that encourages the downward motion, while throwing lower kicks to the calf encourages the upward motion?
Just fyi, shin conditioning doesn’t really strengthen the shin bone much. It stops hurting as much when you kick things, but that’s mostly just neurological. What research has shown is that kicking things can improve your bone strength slightly, but it’s a negligible amount. It can also make your shin weaker by a larger amount. Dead lifts, squats, or anything else that puts a ton of weight on your shins does help. Running also helps. If you don’t believe me, look at the research from medical journals.
I'll tell you exactly why people get hurt on leg kicks, they throw them as a singular strike. As a singular strike low kicks are easily telegraphed, you have to distract your opponent first then throw the leg kick. There are many ways to do this, my favorite is a simple jab. You also get the benefit or creating momentum. You always want to alternate, left hand, right leg, right hand, left leg. This creates a torsion effect on your core, pretty much an elasticity
in fighting, there is + and - to every technique. Liam and Bazooka Joe are one of the best low kickers out there and they're both throwing those snap up toward low kicks. Manachai is the same. But then there is Mr Perfect wich was one of the best low kickers in K1 days and he throws them from up to down. Another point to add is in my opinion where to aim when you throwing them. Aiming right above the knee is not the best choice in my opinion. Yes, they hurt if they land,but for a good check all is needed is one inch for that kick to be checked. The calf is a good aim...but in my opinion maybe even better option( wich i dont see very often) is that sweet spot right below the hip. Harder to check, and when they land its a bullseye. I got hit couple of times with those and i must say my fun ended up fast.
Hey Shane u made me go back to watch Muay Thai fights such as Buakaw with 1/4 speed. I think another reason why thai fighters dont get their low kick checks that often like MMA is the distance. thai fighters keep a steady in range distance to throw low kick while MMA fighters need to keep a longer distance because of take down. In Muay thai i see figthers use their lead hand to touch their opponent to find their perfect spot to throw kicks while MMA figthers normally need to hop in and out.

Can I point out that Adensanya's low kicks were targeting the side of Costa's knee when they fought? And he was successful with that. He's really good with setting it up though
Honestly, dislike the fact the tibia is not symmetrically in the front middle of the shin like an actual blade. It's slightly offsetted inwards. But then again I'm not the creator human beings.
Is there a chance that the mma stance vs the upright muay stance might create an opportunity for more shin breaks? MMA stance is lower and bladed so there's a higher chance for the kicker to hit their front knee. MT your stance is higher up so you can hit each other's thighs. Just a theory of what's causing all these accidents.
That could be a contributing factor but i think the main thing with MMA fighters is a lack of shin conditioning compared to Muay Thai fighters as MMA fighters often take up alot of their time with grappling training along with striking while MT can fully focus on striking.
Great video, I like the quick vs down low kick info. You need to talk more about the check...that is the difference between you limping or your opponent limping. (Don't allow your knee to be lose and like a hinge, meet the kick)
There's a supercut of fights with this break in them. Being that I'm a giant, ancient high schooler, I send it to basically every woman I know. Honestly I'm a sick bastard and it's still hard for me to sit there and watch the whole thing without wincing.
same as with everything in MMA no matter if you are shown the right way or not if you are dividing your attention in training to a great many options it is usually easy to slip up and throw a poor technique kick OR they learn Dutch Style Low Kicks but do not get the same level of work on how to set the kick up....

3:00 is not technically correct. Maybe if you where to hit in the exact same place(I'm talking mm here) every single day then sure. But the natural varience and how shock travels through the bone would make that next to impossible.

Start conditioning. People just start spamming leg kicks and then are surprised when they break a leg. You need to build up your shins.
you have to kick with the hardest part of the shin and that is the top portion. Anything below that is risking injury.

I remember my first bout and I’m so nervous and shit, but found out your videos before that and It really helped me. Thanks man, I improved a lot.
because most of the guys in mma do not know how to properly low kick... honesty.
I use metal rods to condition 😎
Can I point out that Adensanya's low kicks were targeting the side of Costa's knee when they fought? And he was successful with that. He's really good with setting it up though
Shane conditioning
Shane guard
Build density on your Shane
Micro fractures in you Shane
Massage your Shane
Strongest part of my Shane
Took me a minute, but I see what you did there 😉
Thank you so much for this, I’ve been so scared in Muay Thai recently 😂😂
I have been thinking about this today, and searching for some videos and you Posted it 🤩🤩
Honestly, dislike the fact the tibia is not symmetrically in the front middle of the shin like an actual blade. It's slightly offsetted inwards. But then again I'm not the creator human beings.
I have a question is it 200 kicks total or per leg?
Id say 200 per leg my dude
Very high quality content but pretty bad audio quality
its got to do with the drugs related to steroids that they take ( aromatase inhibitors decrease eostrogen and therefore decrease bone density )
I'm scared that I hurt my opponent, not myself
Since i watch Silva break his leg i get scared seriously.
Get well soon conor.
Chris weidman has logged on
Mua y Thai practice their entire life, conditioned for it.
My toe hurts when I front push kick . What to do
Lol I was just thinking this after seeing Conor mcgregor
So what you are telling me is my weird feeling leg kicks that are projected down are safer?
It hurts so bad even with shinguards
Is there a chance that the mma stance vs the upright muay stance might create an opportunity for more shin breaks? MMA stance is lower and bladed so there's a higher chance for the kicker to hit their front knee. MT your stance is higher up so you can hit each other's thighs. Just a theory of what's causing all these accidents.
That could be a contributing factor but i think the main thing with MMA fighters is a lack of shin conditioning compared to Muay Thai fighters as MMA fighters often take up alot of their time with grappling training along with striking while MT can fully focus on striking.
Great video, I like the quick vs down low kick info. You need to talk more about the check...that is the difference between you limping or your opponent limping. (Don't allow your knee to be lose and like a hinge, meet the kick)
After Silva, mc gregor and Weidman, people are going from muay Thai to judo. Lol. A fan from Colombia South America.
Conor McGregor needs to watch this video
There's a supercut of fights with this break in them. Being that I'm a giant, ancient high schooler, I send it to basically every woman I know.
Honestly I'm a sick bastard and it's still hard for me to sit there and watch the whole thing without wincing.
My respects to Shane for keeping it real with his fan base empowering them, reaching out to them, and getting to know them! TH-cam bully beater; hero.
Oh God no I delight in low kicks! Shin to shin sucks but shin to thigh is deeeeelicious!
same as with everything in MMA no matter if you are shown the right way or not if you are dividing your attention in training to a great many options it is usually easy to slip up and throw a poor technique kick OR they learn Dutch Style Low Kicks but do not get the same level of work on how to set the kick up....
fighttips what up names hernandez hey i have seen your videos and others also i know that there are no best or worst martial arts all work in mma that i chose these 7 martial arts fighting styles that combat sports it self and used more in ufc/mma and are effective sanda,kyokushin karate,taekwondo itf,muay thai,combat sambo,bjj,boxing you get me sir and about becoming boxer first kickboxer second mma fighter and martial artist well you know sir bye:)
I agree with it mostly, I just hate kicking the knee when the opponent lifts the leg up at times. It's really hard when the leg is contracted
Because fighters today don’t run. Running build fighters legs.
3:00 is not technically correct. Maybe if you where to hit in the exact same place(I'm talking mm here) every single day then sure. But the natural varience and how shock travels through the bone would make that next to impossible.
hahaha. Great opening scene ! Its funny but nasty
8:09 but watching Liam fight, he almost always throw kicks with no set up. 🤔
he just had to have some explanation
The fighttip glove has a Lil blue shade... Upcoming release Shane?
That's a sample of something new, but not quite there yet...
The ufc needs fight milk for real.
