@@SenseiSeth it’s not the shoes though. You don’t slide for a couple reasons. One of the big ones is because while you’re sliding a foot you’re off balance and can be knocked down. Because of the dragging it actually takes longer to drag than to step.
As a guy who has trained in Muay Thai for over 10yrs, I can confess; MUAY THAI is a VERY gradual fighting style. We typically start off slow, then gradually trun up the heat on the opponent. Now when I started learning MMA I learned that I had to adopt turning up the heat pretty early compared to a Thai Boxing bout. Overall good stuff!!!
I like Josh, he admits that at least a little of Muay Thai is derived from the scoring system. Important factor for people to think about when comparing styles in combat sports. Muay Thai may be very different without a point system. Also, I noticed that Josh is perpetually 'C' shaped, so I must assume he trains a lot, and I accept him as a credible source of information.
@@FM-dm8xj obviously the idea that 'putting a scoring system in a combat sport changes what the resulting martial art emphasizes' is far above your head.
Taekwondo is so much worse about being a “point sparring sport” than Mui Thai, it’s less about the scoring system and more about being able to survive the constant onslaught of leg kicks
I primarily do HEMA (long sword) and I try to work in concepts from empty hand arts where it makes sense for funsies even though most of the time it just gets you stabbed. As far as the footwork it's basically Muay Thai stance but wider, then do a squat and make your opponent think you're going straight when you're really going in triangles but the triangles are actually circles... except when all of that was to set up going in a perfectly straight line. Meanwhile your whole upper body is off on it's own playing For Honor Guard Switch Tutorial Xtreme.
Do you find there is a disjoint in how the footwork and arms are used? With punches and kicks and such you need the whole body to drive power through the feet and core to generate the power to hurt the opponent. While with some weapons, especially bladed ones, you don't need that much to deal meaningful damage so can move arms and body separately? Sure, some stuff like a lunge with a saber/rapier is linked but snipping cuts or a twisting from a bind with two hands torquing the handle don't need it in the same way?
@sirbobulous You definitely need to have whole body awareness and connection between your positioning/footwork and striking, but it also depends on what cuts or thrusts you're throwing. It's more about finesse, speed, and skill than raw power, but you do need to be able to generate powerful strikes; you're constantly trying to physically move or stop your opponents sword with your own. While positioning you'll throw out what are essentially feint cuts to force a reaction from your opponent so that you can get a read on them, then string together multiple cuts/thrusts to get around their defensive options and score a strike. You can think of it like boxing combos with footwork to change angles; angles are *everything* with longsword. It can look disjointed sometimes, but once you get skilled at whole body flow, making your feet do one thing and your hands do another actually takes an incredible amount of skill to do properly and leads to some awesome outplays. I highly recommend watching some longsword tournaments like Swordfish and CombatCon to get a feel for it.
I personally don't use wide stance, i stand the same way with 1 handed swords like sabre, arming to longsword to empty hand. What works best for me are the small steps, especially when i use triangle step to angle off from the bind or parry reposte from long distance.
@@IpponQing as a lifelong wrestler who’s taken up BJJ, you can definitely see the inspiration, and truly my wrestling footwork and stance have held up just fine, but there have definitely been adjustments to account for the differences in the sports and it’d be worth giving its own lesson
The interesting thing about this video is that it also made me contextualize some of the footwork that I use in capoeira. Part of me wonders if you were to do a similar breakdown for capoeira, would your takeaways match up with my perception of the footwork.
I did taekwondo for 2.5 years. I found my instructor was quite precise with footwork. If my kick/block whatever was good or even perfect he’d still pick up on my feet being slightly wrong
Tae Kwon do instructors are definitely perfectionists, I get scolded for just slightly lowering my chin too much during a front kick (even when it perfectly lands)
I love how detailed everyone was. The one thing I can mention, and I boxed only a little while, but I know jawbreaker had to be a speedy fighter, is that that rear foot can be used like karate, as a spring board to bounce off for a harder hit. A little rocking motion, but keeps you ready to move and respond
Agree so much. So many martial arts have become "arts" rather than practical methods of self-defense. Let us not forget that all these forms were conceived out of practicality, not point-scoring.
But remember there are two versions to taekwondo. Wtf is what Olympic taekwondo is. ITF less popular but more practical and leans more into kickboxing like sparring and techniques.
Ali shuffle should also be mentioned as a “super special move” for footwork in boxing. 🥊 Thanks for another great and educational video btw, visiting several places and working coordinated with other people for this comparison needs a significant effort and time.
"i know what you mean by suoer soeciao move" but Idk man, the Ali shuffle ain't that great, it did work for Ali only because is opponents were a bit scared of him, they knew that he could get them at any time, so the shuffle would throw them off. It's just like Lerdzilla can just go and walk normally to his opponent and they would not know what to do, because they know that he knows how to dodge, block and counter any attack. It doesn't mean that you can just do what they do, you gotta learn everything they learned too!
It isn’t that useful it is more of an intimation or a show off move when you are way better than your opponent other than that you are going to get your ass handed to you
Yeah I actually agree about the effectiveness of it with you guys, there are definitely more useful footwork moves out there. I mentioned this one because of the uniqueness of it I guess, you know, it's a signature move of an iconic champion. But the "super special" part may be a little exaggeration, we can change it that definiton to "honorable mention."
When I first joined up in Must Thai it took me a hot minute to switch my footing from TKD in a way to include my boxing and elbow work. I got thrown off gravity constantly when sparring. Muay Thai has an excellent balance.
This is a great breakdown! It's worth noting that you're looking at Olympic Taekwondo, which is a non ITF style of Taekwondo and thus very different from ITF style. ITF notably doesn't use any bouncing or constant small shifts back and forth (only in the direction you actually want to go or as a one time fake out) because it's seen as wasted energy and they believe that every time you put yourself in the air, you're removing your control of your velocity and giving your opponent a chance to hit you. There's a lot of motion in the footwork but they don't allow crossing over because the emphasis is on putting yourself only in positions where you are able to block or strike, and to minimize time between block/strike allowing positions. This is part of why ITF sparring done between students of traditional schools looks so much less like the sparring of many martial arts. As far as the analysis he gives for Olympic TKD, here are the differences I see for ITF. The first is that while our position is still very angular/horizontal to the opponent (rather than flat chest to flat chest), ITF uses a regular L stance, where the front foot is pointing forward rather than to the side. This is for mobility and because kicks in ITF Taekwondo are all possible without pre pivoting (with proper practice). Second, the dominant leg. I've noticed that some ITF students do this and some do not, it seems to vary by school. My school and the books from which we take our teachings both emphasize training ambidextrous technique, which often looks like doing a technique twice as many times on your weaker side when training. For students who do this, which foot is in front can be fluid. At my school it was very common to change what leg was in front if one orientation would make a specific technique easier, and also to swap sides quickly to get around good defenses. When sparring people who use dominant legs, it's also possible to make them believe that you have a dominant leg and catch them by surprise when doing that quick side swap into an attack. Third: movement. The ideas of not moving the feet too close together or too far apart also apply to ITF, we would include not crossing the feet over each other in this category too (also something he avoids doing although he didn't list it verbally). We do allow "walking" where one foot is picked up and placed down elsewhere, mostly for horizontal movement, but it's not something you want to use regularly because it takes you out of that ideal reactive stance. We don't tend to do sliding multiple times in a row/for long distances because we can have either foot in front, so if more than a full stance out of striking range we'll often step in (putting the foot that was in the back into the front) and then slide into a technique. The way that we see it, there's no reason to slide into range without starting a technique because you're not able to control that velocity fully and you're making yourself a target without creating an opportunity for yourself to strike. Fourth: range. We do significantly more circling/angular motion towards and away from opponents (it's recommended to never back straight up because you can't back up faster than they can move forward) so that forwards/backwards situation is less in play. However, the idea of sitting just outside of someone's range and entering only to strike is very similar, and many people fight with the bait and react style. We also use full stance slides for certain cirumstances and have a very similar skipping kick technique.
@TheSilenc I'm not sure sadly. I've only ever competed in ITF tournaments, and I've never practiced another form of martial art. For what it's worth I've sparred with a muay thai student and I found that I had to change my style significantly to adjust to his techniques, but it's a little hard to make a direct comparison of the two arts because he's a large man while I'm a small woman, and conversely because I have a lot of experience while he does not. I think MMA is a very different experience from ITF sparring because from the MMA matches I've seen, there's a lot less need for precision in strikes due to there being more legal striking targets. I don't know what kind of footwork would be generally most suitable, but a lot of MMA fighters have a preferred martial art that they come from and will mix many of those preferred stylistic choices into their personal MMA style. With that in mind, there are probably multiple viable options. 100% traditional ITF footwork may be slightly too rigid because it's very uncommon to do the head bobs/dodges that you see in MMA, although you do occasionally run into ITF fighters who do this. My best guess is that ambidextrous fighting (allowing stepping forward) and moving without crossing over are both useful, while some other rules may be superfluous for an MMA setting. I would love to know what an MMA fighter thinks though.
@@jmarihawkins2939 Masvidal’s stand-up is largely Muay-Thai with a boxing background, he’s definitely proficient in Muay Thai. Wonderboy beat his ass though.
@@Thor-Orion did you really just named one person that came from a BOXING background as if that’s supposed to alleviate loses like Matt Brown, Tyron Woodley, Darren Till, Anthony Pettis, and Gilbert Burns ALL whom come from a HEAVY Muay Thai background, try again
as a mixed martial artist who started with (and has a passion for) taekwondo, he glazed over one of the most fundamental sparring techniques: the switch. personally when I was trained, we were trained ambidextriously, so you could execute the same movements on both sides. additionally, you get zero points for strikes that connect with the back, so a valid defensive option is switching sides so your opponent's kick lands in a no point zone. a benefit of such a defense technique is that you don't have to move back or out of range, meaning you can quickly counterattack. something that isn't really footwork but worth mentioning is how kicks only work in a very specific range, and getting inside that range so you're too close for your opponent to hit you is a very useful combo/counter action in taekwondo. while not nearly as versatile as many martial arts due to its lack of hand strikes, taekwondo has excellent spacing and range control, another thing I don't believe this video did justice.
I would never want to learn a fighting style that is determined by points, in real life of you turn your back to an opponent you'll get fucking stabbed bro
@@allighast9714 I have some bad news for you about just about every modern martial art you can learn. They've all been modified by points based scoring systems from tournament fights like this. He isn't talking about turning your back to an opponent, however. He's saying turning so an opponents strike hits your back, instead of your chest.
The TKD 'sliding kick' was super interesting! You see a very similar technique in HEMA longsword called the 'hidden step' which serves the same function - to hide how far you can move with a single lunge. The mechanics are the same, just instead of kicking you're thrusting a sword at them. We likewise wanna be fairly bladed to reduce the target size cause getting stabbed or cut anywhere on the torso is no good lol.
It's also very surprising for a non Tae Kwon do opponent because in most Tae Kwon do kicks you kick with the back leg, but the sliding kick uses the front leg which is a sudden change of pace. I find it useful to throw basic front kicks and roundhouse kicks until my opponents starts adapting and out of nowhere I switch it up and extend my range with a sliding kick. It's only weakness is that it really doesn't pack up quite THAT much of a punch compared to some other kicks
Probably one reason is because it's common for both to be practiced fighting in lines rather than a ring. In boxing the ropes and corners are a bad place to be so it focuses on angling out
@@tommcalpine6062 I would say it’s much more to do with the range of the weapons involved. If you don’t circle out in longsword, you’re going to eat a lot of thrusts from anyone who can take the centerline consistently. But both martial arts have longer range weapons than boxing (kicks and swords), so you have more space to close.
After years in kyokushin, then many years in kickboxing, I liked how Aikido teaches you how to get out of the way best. I described it as a bullfighter with a red cloth avoiding a charging bull. If you can imagine and do that then you'll be all right.
The Coach from Jawbreaker comes off like a silly stoner, but then he makes it very clear that he is infact a sweet scientist! Wish I lived in the Raleigh area. Looks like a good gym.
I think one martial art with very crucial yet underrated footwork is judo. Yes, I'm very biased, but it does make huge difference in everything from avoiding simple sweeps to making sure you can execute a throw without getting countered. I feel like it's very rarely thought about, I know I didn't think about it when I started. Adding in advanced "hopping" is pretty cool too.
Lucas should start a yt channel. As a beginner in boxing I really like how he explains stuff and also his footwork and movement in general are just awesome. I still remember it from those 2 sparring videos on your channel
being able to change stances with southpaw and orthodox seems so op to me, especially in boxing where if you pivot around the opponent, you dont have to rotate your entire body.
The Karate footwork is actually Sports Karate. Traditional is diffrent, for instance in Kofukan Karate (Shito style) its similar to the Muay That you show but with slightly longer stance. Footwork is the same, always grounded, heels on the ground, no jumping around no exposing your back etc.
I was hoping someone would mention this. There is a huge difference between this type of points karate and full contact karate. In kyokushin you will never see this bouncing around as it is also very routed, as is the same to a different degree with kaseha shotokan. I wish more people would talk about how diverse karate really is
One commonality I noticed in the picture of the 4 martial artists fighting stance, is that they all their pelvis/centerline rotated away from the attacker. In Eskrima-Kali-Arnis one usually squares off with the attacker (both hands are used for checking & passing). Cool video
Yeah, I'd love to see Arnis/Kali jump in here! Those practicioners are super squared off and they have this whole "triangle" methodology I've never quite understood. Would love to see more Kali in videos like these.
My personal favorite is Machida's Shotokan Karate .... A great example was when Lyoto was able to hold his own in the begining of his bout with Jon Jones and even got a few shots in as well as being elusive ... that is until he made mistakes against a guy who also elite level with timing and Jone's reach seemed to throw him off as the match went on
Yaay! I'm not a lonely southpaw anymore! Nice to be introduced to you Josh Brackett. Man I wanna spar with you so bad. Good stuff on fundamental Muay thai footowork. Love how you speak
I just want to say that no matter what martial arts you are training footwork is really important. I was training capoeira for 3 or 4 years and a lot of people said to me that this "dancing" movment is not practical and at the begging i was sure that they are right but i remember this one time when i was attacked by a plank and my body used optimal footwork to counter that strike with a kick... that plank was broken and i was stuned that my body moved by itself and protected me. From that moment i never doubted the training. Anyway awesome content!!! keep up the good work :D
The taekwondo section was interesting to me because I’ve done it for 8 years and what I’ve learned is a little different I was taught to square up like any other fighter or fighting style since I’m 6’2 but i have an instructor who is 5’6-5’7 and he fights bladed when he fights. I also tend to bounce in my feet to make movement or kicks easier to pull off (think liu kang from mortal kombat 11)
I felt like the closes movement to Muay Thai was the boxing one (which makes sense tbh). The way you do steps, position feet, etc. is quite similar, but Muay Thai is like more rigid, becuase you need to always be ready to use offensively/deffensively your legs.
Wow... I learned some new things today. Like how some of the Mauy Thai footwork are very similar to some old japanese Koryu styles footwork. Especially avoidance without giving ground and them step in (and the 45 degree step). Never ever thought about it before... Thanks for that little nugget!
your channel is awesome! great tips, great comparisson, great humor, great tier lists! still waiting for you to bring in bartitsu... also, you could cross train in krav maga and ninjutsu (you havent done those, as far as I know)
Now this is what I wanted to see, as again, taking notes! Fascinating video, I enjoy watching the varieties of each Martial arts and its own footwork. Keep going you Martial Art's Anthony Bourdain
10:18 actually Loma doesn't jump while doing this. It's more like a pivot when Loma does it. The one who does this most often I think is Manny Pacquiao especially when he fights taller fighters.
So when are you going to do something letting each style discuss an obscure ruleset? I know there are a few TKD schools that have nothing to do with Olympic TKD and want nothing to do with Olympic TKD. Muay Thai and Boxing have rule variations that I’d love to find out about and Knockdown Karate is pretty different from Point Karate.
For boxing (very much a beginner so I may be wrong) I usually am not just on my toes bc flat is more power so I like transition from flat and on my toes depending on the situation
Such a great channel i like the idea of showing the differences especially for someone like me that is new to the world of martial art, great job I appreciate the work that u do for us
I use combinations of basically all these styles. My opponents never know how I'm gonna move because I change it up multiple times in every round, with exception of when I'm gassed. I tend to revert down to basically walking when I'm totally gassed out. My favorite footwork movement is the L-step (moving off to the side and at an angle away from the opponents power hand) and the pendulum step, both boxing type movements.
Great video. Also, the boxing footwork is really interesting, I should definitely take some more boxing lessons. The blitz is actually really used in TKD, we practice and apply it constantly in sparring. It's good because the long range punches to the head are easier for the referees to see and score so it's really consistent. It's very common to see people faking a side kick to get the opponent's guard down and then dropping the leg and going for a blitz with a few punches to the face and usually leaving to the side with a turning kick to the body hoping the hands will be high at that point to block the blitz.
Just a clarification, what Wonderboy describes are sports karate stances. Okinawan Karate is a narrower position and doesn't bounce at all. I might get a lot of heat from this, but I'd say that Okinawan Karate footwork is somewhere between boxing and Muay Thai. Not exactly I know, I know, but given what was shown in the video, I'd say that's the best I could describe it. It also dependes a lot on the karate style, some styles even fight almost standing up.
I'm sure there's infinite debate over some of the particulars here, but that's not how I learned World Taekwondo footwork. None of the multiple coaches I've worked with would stand completely bladed, since that makes it harder to use the rear leg and, as Seth points out, harder to side-step. One coach had his torso almost flat, since that made the kick timing more aggressive. Side-stepping and moving circularly is important for countering. Then again, most of the people I've worked with disliked the front-foot-fencing/tag approach that a lot of Olympic athletes use. I feel like that bladed approach works better (like a lot of things) if you're taller and have long lanky legs.
Works well for the front leg fencing method of TKD that came very common with one of the scoring systems. And yeah works very well for lanky buggers. Not my fav way of doing things as a smaller guy, but very happy he mentioned how good slip kicks can be for closing distance fast.

Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson - TH-camr 😆. Dunno why that had me creasing so much. Although to be fair not too sure of his work outside of TH-cam. Is he a big deal or something?
It's also very close to a historical sword play technique taught by Vincentio Saviolo. The distance is a bit different because of the weapon and it's a pivot instead of a hop, again because of the weapon. Good foundations show up everywhere!

Personally I always accidentally mix it up with my boxing footwork and end up turning my foot inwards on lunges. Not a great time.
Wish i could practice hema..
This is BEAUTIFUL! Now I'm looking forward to a video about footwork in different grappling styles - BJJ, Judo, Wrestling etc.
And Aikido and Pankration
@@infestchristopher1457 i think he’s talking about real martial arts that work
I’d remove BJJ because they just pull from judo & wrestling.
@@IpponQing as a lifelong wrestler who’s taken up BJJ, you can definitely see the inspiration, and truly my wrestling footwork and stance have held up just fine, but there have definitely been adjustments to account for the differences in the sports and it’d be worth giving its own lesson
@@IpponQing BJJ definitely deserves it's own lesson.
The interesting thing about this video is that it also made me contextualize some of the footwork that I use in capoeira. Part of me wonders if you were to do a similar breakdown for capoeira, would your takeaways match up with my perception of the footwork.
Some day!
I used to box as an amateur back in the 90s and early 00s, only wish I had a coach like coach Lucas.
We need to get a part 2 for this where you go more in depth and show the more advanced and complex footwork of each of those
I did taekwondo for 2.5 years. I found my instructor was quite precise with footwork. If my kick/block whatever was good or even perfect he’d still pick up on my feet being slightly wrong
Tae Kwon do instructors are definitely perfectionists, I get scolded for just slightly lowering my chin too much during a front kick (even when it perfectly lands)
Oh yeah, they are perfectionists, is all about discipline
I love how detailed everyone was. The one thing I can mention, and I boxed only a little while, but I know jawbreaker had to be a speedy fighter, is that that rear foot can be used like karate, as a spring board to bounce off for a harder hit. A little rocking motion, but keeps you ready to move and respond
Jawbreakers coach is such a good teacher holy hell, his detail was awesome 😂
If someone says
"You got them handz?"

"I got them feet"

I kind of hate that taekwondo has gone full Olympic sparring instead of actual self defense. It's practically dancing instead of martial arts.
Agree so much. So many martial arts have become "arts" rather than practical methods of self-defense. Let us not forget that all these forms were conceived out of practicality, not point-scoring.
But remember there are two versions to taekwondo. Wtf is what Olympic taekwondo is. ITF less popular but more practical and leans more into kickboxing like sparring and techniques.
Yeah, has been forever. Most Asian martial arts is dance choreography rather than an actual martial art. Karate included.
Practical : ITF TKD, Sport : WTF TKD
Ido use taekwondo on street fights
UFC and TH-cam are 2 of greatest things that have happened for Martial Arts. Good content!
I have loved these latest videos! KEEP IT UP!
Happy to hear it!!
th-cam.com/video/r-gIpYZGDe4/w-d-xo.html
I just realised from this video how much advantage I could have if I used footwork to my advantage. Thanks!
Ali shuffle should also be mentioned as a “super special move” for footwork in boxing. 🥊 Thanks for another great and educational video btw, visiting several places and working coordinated with other people for this comparison needs a significant effort and time.
"i know what you mean by suoer soeciao move" but Idk man, the Ali shuffle ain't that great, it did work for Ali only because is opponents were a bit scared of him, they knew that he could get them at any time, so the shuffle would throw them off.
It's just like Lerdzilla can just go and walk normally to his opponent and they would not know what to do, because they know that he knows how to dodge, block and counter any attack. It doesn't mean that you can just do what they do, you gotta learn everything they learned too!
It isn’t that useful it is more of an intimation or a show off move when you are way better than your opponent other than that you are going to get your ass handed to you
Yeah I actually agree about the effectiveness of it with you guys, there are definitely more useful footwork moves out there. I mentioned this one because of the uniqueness of it I guess, you know, it's a signature move of an iconic champion. But the "super special" part may be a little exaggeration, we can change it that definiton to "honorable mention."
Also the L step, V step, and C step. Willie Pep introduced L and V steps and now almost every boxers if not all, do those
When I first joined up in Must Thai it took me a hot minute to switch my footing from TKD in a way to include my boxing and elbow work. I got thrown off gravity constantly when sparring. Muay Thai has an excellent balance.
4 martial artists. 4 different martial arts. Lessons from each. All in one video. OUTSTANDING!!!
This is a great breakdown! It's worth noting that you're looking at Olympic Taekwondo, which is a non ITF style of Taekwondo and thus very different from ITF style. ITF notably doesn't use any bouncing or constant small shifts back and forth (only in the direction you actually want to go or as a one time fake out) because it's seen as wasted energy and they believe that every time you put yourself in the air, you're removing your control of your velocity and giving your opponent a chance to hit you. There's a lot of motion in the footwork but they don't allow crossing over because the emphasis is on putting yourself only in positions where you are able to block or strike, and to minimize time between block/strike allowing positions. This is part of why ITF sparring done between students of traditional schools looks so much less like the sparring of many martial arts. As far as the analysis he gives for Olympic TKD, here are the differences I see for ITF.
The first is that while our position is still very angular/horizontal to the opponent (rather than flat chest to flat chest), ITF uses a regular L stance, where the front foot is pointing forward rather than to the side. This is for mobility and because kicks in ITF Taekwondo are all possible without pre pivoting (with proper practice).
Second, the dominant leg. I've noticed that some ITF students do this and some do not, it seems to vary by school. My school and the books from which we take our teachings both emphasize training ambidextrous technique, which often looks like doing a technique twice as many times on your weaker side when training. For students who do this, which foot is in front can be fluid. At my school it was very common to change what leg was in front if one orientation would make a specific technique easier, and also to swap sides quickly to get around good defenses. When sparring people who use dominant legs, it's also possible to make them believe that you have a dominant leg and catch them by surprise when doing that quick side swap into an attack.
Third: movement. The ideas of not moving the feet too close together or too far apart also apply to ITF, we would include not crossing the feet over each other in this category too (also something he avoids doing although he didn't list it verbally). We do allow "walking" where one foot is picked up and placed down elsewhere, mostly for horizontal movement, but it's not something you want to use regularly because it takes you out of that ideal reactive stance. We don't tend to do sliding multiple times in a row/for long distances because we can have either foot in front, so if more than a full stance out of striking range we'll often step in (putting the foot that was in the back into the front) and then slide into a technique. The way that we see it, there's no reason to slide into range without starting a technique because you're not able to control that velocity fully and you're making yourself a target without creating an opportunity for yourself to strike.
Fourth: range. We do significantly more circling/angular motion towards and away from opponents (it's recommended to never back straight up because you can't back up faster than they can move forward) so that forwards/backwards situation is less in play. However, the idea of sitting just outside of someone's range and entering only to strike is very similar, and many people fight with the bait and react style. We also use full stance slides for certain cirumstances and have a very similar skipping kick technique.
You need recognition
@TheSilenc I'm not sure sadly. I've only ever competed in ITF tournaments, and I've never practiced another form of martial art. For what it's worth I've sparred with a muay thai student and I found that I had to change my style significantly to adjust to his techniques, but it's a little hard to make a direct comparison of the two arts because he's a large man while I'm a small woman, and conversely because I have a lot of experience while he does not.
I think MMA is a very different experience from ITF sparring because from the MMA matches I've seen, there's a lot less need for precision in strikes due to there being more legal striking targets. I don't know what kind of footwork would be generally most suitable, but a lot of MMA fighters have a preferred martial art that they come from and will mix many of those preferred stylistic choices into their personal MMA style. With that in mind, there are probably multiple viable options. 100% traditional ITF footwork may be slightly too rigid because it's very uncommon to do the head bobs/dodges that you see in MMA, although you do occasionally run into ITF fighters who do this. My best guess is that ambidextrous fighting (allowing stepping forward) and moving without crossing over are both useful, while some other rules may be superfluous for an MMA setting. I would love to know what an MMA fighter thinks though.
I just started in ITF I appreciate you’re breakdown and input 👌🏽
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson's karate footwork is the best offensively and defensively, as he has proven time and time again in the UFC octagon.
Until he fights someone proficient in Muay Thai, as that has been proven time and time again
“The best” guess he’s never been hit huh
He’s like a cat
@@jmarihawkins2939 Masvidal’s stand-up is largely Muay-Thai with a boxing background, he’s definitely proficient in Muay Thai. Wonderboy beat his ass though.
@@Thor-Orion did you really just named one person that came from a BOXING background as if that’s supposed to alleviate loses like Matt Brown, Tyron Woodley, Darren Till, Anthony Pettis, and Gilbert Burns ALL whom come from a HEAVY Muay Thai background, try again
as a mixed martial artist who started with (and has a passion for) taekwondo, he glazed over one of the most fundamental sparring techniques: the switch. personally when I was trained, we were trained ambidextriously, so you could execute the same movements on both sides. additionally, you get zero points for strikes that connect with the back, so a valid defensive option is switching sides so your opponent's kick lands in a no point zone. a benefit of such a defense technique is that you don't have to move back or out of range, meaning you can quickly counterattack. something that isn't really footwork but worth mentioning is how kicks only work in a very specific range, and getting inside that range so you're too close for your opponent to hit you is a very useful combo/counter action in taekwondo. while not nearly as versatile as many martial arts due to its lack of hand strikes, taekwondo has excellent spacing and range control, another thing I don't believe this video did justice.
I would never want to learn a fighting style that is determined by points, in real life of you turn your back to an opponent you'll get fucking stabbed bro
@@allighast9714 I have some bad news for you about just about every modern martial art you can learn. They've all been modified by points based scoring systems from tournament fights like this. He isn't talking about turning your back to an opponent, however. He's saying turning so an opponents strike hits your back, instead of your chest.
@@glurganergc4856 sounds like a nice way to get hit in the kidney
Great comparison! Thankyou Sensei Seth for the all the "Footwork" involved in making this video!
I love it. I hope you branch out into the footwork of some of the lesser known styles like Kuntao or Kali 😁
Peace,
The Boxer instructor is a good teacher, he has passion.
How about how different martial arts styles teach defense? I think that would be interesting.
It’s kind vague as a concept but it’s possible!
Foot work I feel is one of the most important thing. I like to see a grappling one these one day like Judo,CatchWresting,sambo.
If you think about it, mixing the different footwork can actually be a great aid to get good angles when facing an opponents.
Its not my favorite martial art but I gotta say in this category my favorite is definitly boxing
They’ve got some awesome footwork
It's cause we don't have to think about kicking so we get to spend that mental energy on coolness factors of our feet
No kidding, boxing footwork is insane, it's crazy to me how awesome it is.
@@chn3141 exactly haha
@@inigomontoya4109 true
The TKD 'sliding kick' was super interesting! You see a very similar technique in HEMA longsword called the 'hidden step' which serves the same function - to hide how far you can move with a single lunge. The mechanics are the same, just instead of kicking you're thrusting a sword at them. We likewise wanna be fairly bladed to reduce the target size cause getting stabbed or cut anywhere on the torso is no good lol.
It's also very surprising for a non Tae Kwon do opponent because in most Tae Kwon do kicks you kick with the back leg, but the sliding kick uses the front leg which is a sudden change of pace.
I find it useful to throw basic front kicks and roundhouse kicks until my opponents starts adapting and out of nowhere I switch it up and extend my range with a sliding kick.
It's only weakness is that it really doesn't pack up quite THAT much of a punch compared to some other kicks
There's a reason why taekwondo is known as foot fencing
Probably one reason is because it's common for both to be practiced fighting in lines rather than a ring. In boxing the ropes and corners are a bad place to be so it focuses on angling out
@@tommcalpine6062 I would say it’s much more to do with the range of the weapons involved. If you don’t circle out in longsword, you’re going to eat a lot of thrusts from anyone who can take the centerline consistently.
But both martial arts have longer range weapons than boxing (kicks and swords), so you have more space to close.
After years in kyokushin, then many years in kickboxing, I liked how Aikido teaches you how to get out of the way best. I described it as a bullfighter with a red cloth avoiding a charging bull. If you can imagine and do that then you'll be all right.
I like Ashihara Karate’s circular footwork myself. helps with incorporating lateral movements into blocks as well 😁
The Coach from Jawbreaker comes off like a silly stoner, but then he makes it very clear that he is infact a sweet scientist!
Wish I lived in the Raleigh area. Looks like a good gym.
I think one martial art with very crucial yet underrated footwork is judo. Yes, I'm very biased, but it does make huge difference in everything from avoiding simple sweeps to making sure you can execute a throw without getting countered. I feel like it's very rarely thought about, I know I didn't think about it when I started. Adding in advanced "hopping" is pretty cool too.
Lucas should start a yt channel. As a beginner in boxing I really like how he explains stuff and also his footwork and movement in general are just awesome. I still remember it from those 2 sparring videos on your channel
He is brilliant and has real finesse in his boxing.
being able to change stances with southpaw and orthodox seems so op to me, especially in boxing where if you pivot around the opponent, you dont have to rotate your entire body.
I havent trained in years, and this made me start trying to practice my footwork! 10/10
The Karate footwork is actually Sports Karate. Traditional is diffrent, for instance in Kofukan Karate (Shito style) its similar to the Muay That you show but with slightly longer stance. Footwork is the same, always grounded, heels on the ground, no jumping around no exposing your back etc.
I was hoping someone would mention this. There is a huge difference between this type of points karate and full contact karate. In kyokushin you will never see this bouncing around as it is also very routed, as is the same to a different degree with kaseha shotokan. I wish more people would talk about how diverse karate really is
So nice recopilation and experts, good job
One commonality I noticed in the picture of the 4 martial artists fighting stance, is that they all their pelvis/centerline rotated away from the attacker. In Eskrima-Kali-Arnis one usually squares off with the attacker (both hands are used for checking & passing). Cool video
Like Tyson kinda. And the stereotype of brawlers.
Yeah, I'd love to see Arnis/Kali jump in here! Those practicioners are super squared off and they have this whole "triangle" methodology I've never quite understood. Would love to see more Kali in videos like these.
I think another footwork that is Muay Thai specific is the skip to close elbow distance (like fake teep), or a marching walk advance (to fake knee)
My personal favorite is Machida's Shotokan Karate .... A great example was when Lyoto was able to hold his own in the begining of his bout with Jon Jones and even got a few shots in as well as being elusive ... that is until he made mistakes against a guy who also elite level with timing and Jone's reach seemed to throw him off as the match went on
2:40 sec is a pendulum step in mantis kungfu and also used for quick kicks going forward.
WB! He has some slick footwork.
Yaay! I'm not a lonely southpaw anymore! Nice to be introduced to you Josh Brackett.
Man I wanna spar with you so bad.
Good stuff on fundamental Muay thai footowork. Love how you speak
Great video again, Seth! Love you’re rapid breakdown at the end with the difference you noted between the TKD and karate stances
th-cam.com/video/r-gIpYZGDe4/w-d-xo.html
I just want to say that no matter what martial arts you are training footwork is really important. I was training capoeira for 3 or 4 years and a lot of people said to me that this "dancing" movment is not practical and at the begging i was sure that they are right but i remember this one time when i was attacked by a plank and my body used optimal footwork to counter that strike with a kick... that plank was broken and i was stuned that my body moved by itself and protected me. From that moment i never doubted the training. Anyway awesome content!!! keep up the good work :D
The taekwondo section was interesting to me because I’ve done it for 8 years and what I’ve learned is a little different I was taught to square up like any other fighter or fighting style since I’m 6’2 but i have an instructor who is 5’6-5’7 and he fights bladed when he fights. I also tend to bounce in my feet to make movement or kicks easier to pull off (think liu kang from mortal kombat 11)
I felt like the closes movement to Muay Thai was the boxing one (which makes sense tbh). The way you do steps, position feet, etc. is quite similar, but Muay Thai is like more rigid, becuase you need to always be ready to use offensively/deffensively your legs.
Wow... I learned some new things today. Like how some of the Mauy Thai footwork are very similar to some old japanese Koryu styles footwork. Especially avoidance without giving ground and them step in (and the 45 degree step). Never ever thought about it before... Thanks for that little nugget!
your channel is awesome! great tips, great comparisson, great humor, great tier lists!
still waiting for you to bring in bartitsu... also, you could cross train in krav maga and ninjutsu (you havent done those, as far as I know)
2:29
This is a pendulum kick and is also present in other styles like Muay Thai and Dutch Kickboxing.
Now this is what I wanted to see, as again, taking notes! Fascinating video, I enjoy watching the varieties of each Martial arts and its own footwork. Keep going you Martial Art's Anthony Bourdain
As of right now October 18, 7:10 PM eastern time, this video has no dislikes. It is perfect.
Amen to that.
The dislike button is a dud anyway 😅
10:18 actually Loma doesn't jump while doing this. It's more like a pivot when Loma does it. The one who does this most often I think is Manny Pacquiao especially when he fights taller fighters.
As I watched this all I could think was that some sparring footage would be nice, happy you included it at the end.
So when are you going to do something letting each style discuss an obscure ruleset?
I know there are a few TKD schools that have nothing to do with Olympic TKD and want nothing to do with Olympic TKD.
Muay Thai and Boxing have rule variations that I’d love to find out about and Knockdown Karate is pretty different from Point Karate.
For boxing (very much a beginner so I may be wrong) I usually am not just on my toes bc flat is more power so I like transition from flat and on my toes depending on the situation

Such a great channel i like the idea of showing the differences especially for someone like me that is new to the world of martial art, great job I appreciate the work that u do for us
I use combinations of basically all these styles. My opponents never know how I'm gonna move because I change it up multiple times in every round, with exception of when I'm gassed. I tend to revert down to basically walking when I'm totally gassed out. My favorite footwork movement is the L-step (moving off to the side and at an angle away from the opponents power hand) and the pendulum step, both boxing type movements.
you mean like
MMA????!!
I appreciate all styles but boxing is GOAT when it comes to footwork specifically. So clean.
Absolute GOLD content! Thanks Sensei! Love the fact that you are so mind open! Keep it up 👍🏻
Sensei Seth Much Appreciated You Especially With The Muay Thai Footwork . Every time I Went To Practice The Footwork & Breathing Was My Problem .
Great video. Also, the boxing footwork is really interesting, I should definitely take some more boxing lessons.
The blitz is actually really used in TKD, we practice and apply it constantly in sparring. It's good because the long range punches to the head are easier for the referees to see and score so it's really consistent. It's very common to see people faking a side kick to get the opponent's guard down and then dropping the leg and going for a blitz with a few punches to the face and usually leaving to the side with a turning kick to the body hoping the hands will be high at that point to block the blitz.
very very very interesting examinations! tank you seth for all this precious informations !
Just a clarification, what Wonderboy describes are sports karate stances. Okinawan Karate is a narrower position and doesn't bounce at all. I might get a lot of heat from this, but I'd say that Okinawan Karate footwork is somewhere between boxing and Muay Thai. Not exactly I know, I know, but given what was shown in the video, I'd say that's the best I could describe it. It also dependes a lot on the karate style, some styles even fight almost standing up.
Very nice stuff from each teacher! Saved this to my fight night playlist
I'm sure there's infinite debate over some of the particulars here, but that's not how I learned World Taekwondo footwork. None of the multiple coaches I've worked with would stand completely bladed, since that makes it harder to use the rear leg and, as Seth points out, harder to side-step. One coach had his torso almost flat, since that made the kick timing more aggressive. Side-stepping and moving circularly is important for countering. Then again, most of the people I've worked with disliked the front-foot-fencing/tag approach that a lot of Olympic athletes use. I feel like that bladed approach works better (like a lot of things) if you're taller and have long lanky legs.
Works well for the front leg fencing method of TKD that came very common with one of the scoring systems. And yeah works very well for lanky buggers.
Not my fav way of doing things as a smaller guy, but very happy he mentioned how good slip kicks can be for closing distance fast.
Holy. Shit! This is incredible! Most take years to mine this kinda info and here it is for free! Sensei Seth. Can't thank you enough! 💪🙏

The boxing "special move" was very similar to a "D'Amato Shift" as seen in Tyson: th-cam.com/video/Tch0Ch1kd9g/w-d-xo.html
That’s exactly what it is. I don’t think Loma calls it a DS but that’s what he does as is the guy here.
It's also very close to a historical sword play technique taught by Vincentio Saviolo. The distance is a bit different because of the weapon and it's a pivot instead of a hop, again because of the weapon. Good foundations show up everywhere!
