A lot of the roundhouse kick comes from the rotation of the upper body so yeah haha, all you do with the legs is chamber, pivot, and extend the leg really hard
the camera should have definitely been positioned where the viewer could see the feet placement. Why would you crop out the ground in a kick instructional video lol.. otherwise very powerful video.
Jarrod7755 And for initial teaching of beginners, it pays to get them to extend their weight forward over the supporting foot so that they learn to hit with their whole body weigh from the get-go. Once they're doing that, you can teach them to thrown it dynamically without over extending. Breaking the habit of kicking with the ass hanging out and just the leg swinging is a PITA.
I'd love to train with Rogan. He seems like a great instructor who will tell you when something is good and tells you when it sucks. He is not into building up your ego, he is into building up your skill set. Why is he always out of breath? Maybe because he has been training for hours. He fights and trains with the best in the world. I would feel comfortable in saying, he can easily kick 99.9% of the UFC viewer's butts. What he does in his private life is his business. I appreciate him sharing his knowledge. Every time I see one of his videos, I have to go train. He has a side kick and spinning side kick that GSP asked him to show him. Yep. One of the best fighters to step in the Octagon, asked Joe Rogan, to teach him a technique. So if GSP respects the guys talent and teaching ability, I would say that endorsement is good enough for me. Also, he is an Eddie Bravo 10th Planet Black Belt. I wish he could talk his friend Eddie in opening a school up in Valdosta, GA. This is the martial arts waste land.
Steve Watts yeah, I see that in Joe Rogan too. I don't got a big ego and I don't plan on building it, I plan on building my techniques and skills. He can tell me that I fuckin suck and I'm trash all he wants, I look forward to the reward.
Great tutorial, shame about missing the footwork for those who are beginners. Without correct footwork it is very easy to injure your own ankle, knee and hip. Your support leg must pivot, so the starting position of the support foot the toes would be facing your opponent and as the kick makes its impact the toes would be facing away from your opponent. Once you retract the leg back after impact your foot then pivots once again and you end up back in your stance, toes facing the opponent. Hope that helps any complete beginners 🙏🏻
Did Hapkido for almost 8 years. I was taught to NOT follow through. The way we were taught was when executing the kick, stop, recoil the kicking leg and bring that leg back to where you will be in your original fighting stance. We were not allowed to follow through, especially do a full circle follow through, because our back would be exposed and open for a vicious counter.
the toes of your grounded foot should be pointing outside of the opponents gate as if you are aiming to kick throw them and finish the motion after your leg has passed through the target. In a muay thai class they will encourage you to be on the balls of your foot. This is my preferance. In karate or at least in my experience of it this is discouraged while kicking.
@@Stephen-uz8dm hell no, karate does ball of foot too lol. Unless your karate instructor wants to see your knee explode. This isn't. True roundhouse either, it's a diagonal kick.
Thank you for clarification on hand position when throwing the roundhouse. This is seriously the best explination of it I have found on the internet. I am in Thailand and have been taught both ways (hands up and swinging hand). I have read every argument on the internet and you seem to be the only one who explains that it can be done either way and the pros and cons of each rather than just arguing for the technique you perform. You da man Joe!
Aubrey is not lifting his knee high enough and angling the kick downward or at least across on the spin, but Joe does it perfectly when he demos the driving through.
Around 2:40 into the clip (when dude is throwing kick harder & joes complimenting), his hands are all over the place..a decent fighter would pick up on that after the 1st or 2nd kick & step into his kick (closing the distance) and blast him with a straight/uppercut...maybe a hook. Leaving himself wide open for a counter-strike
Can I explain how to make the strongest possible thrust kick here? My thrust kick is my strongest forward-facing kick, always has been. Since he's still healty enough to do this right, let's see how strong he can thrust kick. Isshinryu thrust kick: The heel is the weapon. The leg comes up and you push your buttocks forward into the kick as you extend the leg for maximum power and torque. I can thrust kick a 225lbs standing water bag and make it fly about 10 feet across a room I've walked it off before in the dojo. This is from standing guard with no running start. Combining a thrust kick with a windmill block becomes what we call "combined submission/striking" and we pull the opponent down into the thrust kick or a knee strike from a potential front wrist lock position. Kicking opponent repeatedly results in opponent tapping out or verbal submission.
Fairtex pads are the best. I just got my KPLC5’s last week. Pad work is iron body training too on top of everything else, for both the striker and the pad holder.
Anyone else realize how close joe was to kicking Aubrey's arm on the final example of how to swing through? Joe must have a good sense of distance after all these years because I know I would mess up and pound someone with a kick like that on accident
The reason Thai guys drop their hand is to generate more torque, typically they will always tell you to move the hand in front of your face to block their vision and protect your head but kicks are scored alot in Muay Thai and punches are scored low so they will typically just sacrifice technique for power so you get leg blasting matches, but the correct technique is always hand out but on a straight line covering your face or going towards the opponents head
I learned from a Korean Tang Soo do ins. And the heel of your bearing leg is supposed to turn an point at target at full extension to generate full devastating power and turn hips over
I know what you mean, I do it the same way. Some friends do it with extended legs, they say they feel like they can kick stronger like that. I guess it depends on your body, and physical bulid-up
In a thai style the heel of his support foot would point towards the opponent/target, reiterating what Joe said about following through, this guy is anticipating hitting the pad so he looks a little off because it seems his supporting foot is at best, toes pointing at 10 o clock,not 6 o clock to the target, different styles, ones a leg kick, shorter range, hands up style, other is longer range.
One thing we was taught was with planting the foot then pivoting your heal towards the target to initiate the motion of the kick. It open and lines up your hips to drive through the target. It's something I see missing even up to pro mma. fights.
Many pro mma fighters don't have a fundamental Karate or TKD base that would have drilled those foot and hip and knee positions over and over and over as a beginner. They are basically just doing what they need to have a full arsenal to fight mma. Alot of them even come from grappling where they have had virtually zero funafmental work. They are playing catchup and they just need something that halfway works to get into the cage.
I've always done my roundhouse kick with the arm swinging down. I can't really recall ever being counted with a good punch, usually I'm out of range and as Joe mentioned the shoulder is there to cover the chin. I guess it comes down to preference.
Super late response but do you ever get opponents who will just aggressively shoot in and flurry at you while your kick is still being sent? it can really jam you up and you often loose visual on them for a moment trying to dodge the flurry after if they’re serious about eating up your real estate. Also I can say from experience getting hit solidly a second after someone jams up your kick is doubly disorienting as just getting rocked. you get rocked while youre already stumbling 😅
Joe rogan is legit. Master. Of himself first of all then he. Knows some serious styles. In martial arts. And eddie bravo is calm down to earth. And very dangerous. In his very own 10th planet gyms all over. He also is no joke much respect. For both of these of. Pros
Is it not bad to kick the Thai pads with your instep/ foot? I imagine it would be good to consistently hit with your shin to prevent injury, I’m not expert though.
for reference, not all thai styles spin around completely. There's some vulnerability to counterkicks when you swing through and it's something that's certainly debated
That's a power roundhouse, where the knee is lower. He needs to lift his knee higher to do a proper roundhouse. Higher the knee higher the kick. The kick should not involve the toe area hitting the pad. That's a recipe for injury. Further up the foot is the correct area of contact. Black belt TKD.
Wonder boy has better guides because he show foot work, and shows every step in the process. If yall wanna learn from scratch I would say go to his channel. There is a difference in power and technique though. Joe throw taekwondo style and wonder boy throws karate. Joe has more power, but the kick is a little more telegraphed. Probably worth practicing both styles, but Wonder boy is more beginner friendly.
@@MorsoVallanKumous it doesn't matter what there doing to your dropped hand when your shin is drilling into them. I'm not debating which is better, Im stating why the Thai people drop their hand while round housing, because in Muay Thai, they have gotten used to keeping their opponents stationed while throwing devastating hits, whether it is during the opponents attack or on this case, being held in a trap. The dropped hand keeps them stationary for a split of a second which is long enough to make contact with a kick. This is much the same concept with the clinching.
@@thomasbeall9069 it is in mid kick. Leg is longer than the arm. A round house beats even the jab every time. You just need to read, instead of being an arrogant asshole. Plus, the culture that founded muay thai practice dropping the same side hand while throwing throws kicks and like I said, it's too trap. It's not that hard to understand. Maybe you're just mildly illiterate.
You dont, really... You can wear shinguards of course, but this is a very destructive technique that, to some degree, will always hurt the user as well as the victim. However, if you practice them a lot, your legs will get used to the strain and you will even numb your pain receptors (as well as scraping the hair off the front of your shins). Gotta practice lots though ;-)
A tutorial about kicking and only shows the upper body. Lmao
Otherwise one of them would disapear
A lot of the roundhouse kick comes from the rotation of the upper body so yeah haha, all you do with the legs is chamber, pivot, and extend the leg really hard
Yeah, who thought about this? Lmao
Pivot the leg? No I don't see it
Israel Hernandez I was thinking the same thing! Wtf
It's knees up, other than "pivot on front foot" what do you want to see down there?
2:15 life flashes before his eyes
Lmaoo look at that man flinch
the camera should have definitely been positioned where the viewer could see the feet placement. Why would you crop out the ground in a kick instructional video lol..
otherwise very powerful video.
Ben Dover Seriously though, why isn't this making everyone laugh or just be upset by how awful framing is throughout the whole thing.
The camera hides imperfections of student. Joe Rogan at first corrected him about bouncing but he did replay this.
Ben Dover well Joe Rogan is super short he always try’s to hide that fact
No one should actually be learning from youtube videos bro
@@demz6365 Max Holloway learned striking from the UFC game
Please, for technical videos, record the feet as well!!
You can tell he doesn't pivot much, watch his knee

he's out of breath because he talks too much. think... talking while jogging.

where the damn foot work mr Camerman??

Almost took his face off 😂😂😂

Love these recent videos! Not even into MMA, but Joe and Aubrey are role models of mine and to see these guys collaborate for any reason is great.
2:20 you’ll thank me later for Joes laugh😂

When Joe threw the kick short of his face like he was shadowboxing, for a tenth of a second i thought he was actually about to kick him 😂

Fairtex pads are the best. I just got my KPLC5’s last week. Pad work is iron body training too on top of everything else, for both the striker and the pad holder.

You and Joe are always great together. I really hope to see more videos of you two!

Love seeing Joe use the fairtex
He hits with his leg fully extended the while time. I like to keep my knee bent until about 75% way through, then extend. Generates more power
I know what you mean, I do it the same way. Some friends do it with extended legs, they say they feel like they can kick stronger like that. I guess it depends on your body, and physical bulid-up
Vargas 08 its not good for your knee either
Good thing they kept the frame focused to the hands, those sure are important for a kick
Still waiting for a chick named Aubrey to show up.
Joe should do more tutorials he does it in a dead simple and effective way on all of his tutorials...👍
so dope to see joe in action, u get to see what he really looks like, some healing baby faced ninja

He said thanks:)))))))))))
hahahahah
Hahahahaha i laughed so bad at that
It wasn’t good too
what's wrong with that? If Joe Rogan himself says your kicks are good, it really means a lot
@@xdygmnyrdf no, it doesn't. Just because eons ago he did a little TKD doesn't mean much.
First thing step forward with your front foot, keep your legs and back straight then bend you rear leg when moving it back into position
One thing we was taught was with planting the foot then pivoting your heal towards the target to initiate the motion of the kick. It open and lines up your hips to drive through the target. It's something I see missing even up to pro mma. fights.

"If you're gonna start from scratch; keep your hands up high."
2:16 Joe came close to kicking the shit out of Aubrey hahahaha
when you're able to kick like that you're in control. I can throw kicks to around 6 inchs from some ones face easily.
Just made a statement that's it :p
What about trying to get the leg, or your kick higher? What tips, or techniques are required to train for that?
Top notch camera work
great advice on power cleans
Why is Joe always out of breath?
+Matthew Spencer smokes a lot of pot
he just got done doing other exercises dumbass
maybe he is like one of those characters on World of Warcraft, always out of breath :D
Steroids!
I'm sure up until pretty recently he almost no breathing from his nose which might have something to do with it
Should the ankle or the shin of the kicker make contact?
A lot of respect for Joe. Thank you for posting.

Is it not bad to kick the Thai pads with your instep/ foot? I imagine it would be good to consistently hit with your shin to prevent injury, I’m not expert though.
Great video! What does he mean by using a swing can help? Like literally swinging on a swing ?
Imagine you are swinging your leg off your hip you swing your body into it
I like the way Cowboy Cerrone kicks. It's like he doesn't fully extend his whole leg till the last minute. Like a switchblade but then not.
2:40 I was expecting the meme where the guy throws another kick and makes Joe fly across the room.
for reference, not all thai styles spin around completely. There's some vulnerability to counterkicks when you swing through and it's something that's certainly debated
of course every technique opens a vulnerability but it should be mitigated

This maybe the only moment in my life I wish I was 5’ nothing throwing a roundhouse!
Great video! Thank you
that was....
AWESOME!
Are they in The Empty, from Supernatural
He’s a great teacher
I wish joe never did fear factor and instead made kicking instructional DVD’s 😂
The swinging of the arm should go the opposite direction to the direction of the leg to make any sense.
I can’t be the only person that thought Joe’s shirt said DMT at first 😂
Joe is a natural. Great job breaking down the details!
His stoner life really has allowed him to see so much passion in everything he does it gets you excited about anything he's into as well.

Thats why his channel is PowerfulJRE

God i wish they didnt edit it so much and just had it as raw footage so its easer to actually see whats happening with out the camera changing
If you step in close enough, you can use the dropped hand to grab onto and pull the person more into the kick.
And risk getting countered while your hand is dropped , nah id rather keep my hands up

Fuck, what I would give to have Joe as my corner man/coach
I love you guys :) what a great duo
Which muscles are used to generate the power?
The power is generated through torque.
The Dutch are generally amongst the.tallest in the world so they can keep their hands high still get good range and angular momentum
Do try this at home kids.. never kick with your foot instead of the shinbone.. your shinbone is the sword that needs to cut through it.
Joes face everytime the kick comes! lmfao
Good for a beginner
Nice one camera man.
number 1 rule in any striking sport is keep your hands up. Dont listen to anyone who says to drop your hands when you kick.
This was good. I like Joe Rogan
As soon as I saw the feet position I understood everything
I enjoyed the vid. I just wish the view of their feet was shown. To get a better understanding of foot position
Joe Rogan is a beast, nuff said
Keith Korpela he ain’t shit
Finally! No slippery floors for Joe this time so he can show his technique XD
how do you avoid bruising on shins?
You dont, really...
You can wear shinguards of course, but this is a very destructive technique that, to some degree, will always hurt the user as well as the victim. However, if you practice them a lot, your legs will get used to the strain and you will even numb your pain receptors (as well as scraping the hair off the front of your shins).
Gotta practice lots though ;-)
keep kicking pads. most bruising from my experience is when sparring/checking kicks...set the up with punches, don't telegraph them, then just ice
Personally i like keeping the pads split when i hold pads for someone.
nice! I love it
You know his kick is genuinely good if Joe says it is.
