Learn how to turn over your hips when you throw a Muay Thai kick with these 3 effective kicking drills. Each drill is designed to help you get a feel for turning your hips over when you throw a kick. It is important for you to practice each technique in training and then work on loosening your hips.
Flexibility is another thing that you need to have in order to turn over your hips. If you don't have any flexibility, you are going to have a hard time turning your hips if they are very stiff. To work on your flexibility, look up stretches that help you open up your hips.

Leg day is never skipped in Thailand.
Thailand *IS* leg day. Thigh-land 🇹🇭
Thanks to Muay Thai, I love leg day. 🦵🏽
the calves on the dude bruh

Facts 💯
Started learning muay Thai about 3 months ago and have zero flexibility and really struggled with my kicks. Been watching/rewatching this for about half an hour practicing that hip twist and can already feel a massive improvement in my technique and balance
I do muay thai everyday, good job dawg
Practice animal-flow to help flexibility and strength which is MT is all about. Just ytube "animal flow"
going from boxing/kickboxing to Muay Thai has been unbelievably challenging. keep at it brother
You mean balan
just go to samart gym. learn from the best
*I've got a Thai trainer. We spend just as much time working on flexibility and balance as we do on drills. Plus he explains about the intricacies of Muay Thai and how it relates to Thai culture. Great stuff*
That is awesome
Sounds like a GREAT teacher. A true expert in the martial art. Very few of those these days.
For some reason, I have struggled with the roundhouse kick more than any other... This video helps immensely
Thanks for the feedback. Hope it helps unlocks something new in your game.
me too, I think it's flexibility. I've been holding a side split while leaning on a table to push back up out of it. I slide my feet farther apart and hold a while. Then I inch a bit more and hold again. Flexibility is a slow process, but it's helping. I can actually touch my toes for the first time since puberty after months of stretching 30-60 sec a day
You are not allone man :)
The hip turning has been the most difficult for me
Bro I have the same issue, I started to do situps and snap really hard fast at the top. Then I standing in front of the bag while moving my hip trying to generate power from the hip without kicking. I did the same with my shoulders. Then I started to stretch, Watching some TH-cam clips.
And now finally I’m landing head kicks
wow the hip twist really helped me get a feel of how to activate the hips. mind blowing.
Glad to hear that! Keep on working on it and you'll perfect it!
Wow, from the not much mentioned stance and rhythm to how to fix the Roundhouse kick, you guys clearly go into details on basic Muay Thai techniques. I love these contents very much, please keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words. Wish you the best in your training.
Thanks for all your support
This is the kicking tutorial that i've been looking for
I've spend a lot of time looking for a a tutorial for that round kick and finally there it is
Literally fixed my kick with the first drill in 5 mins.
My front heel was staying on the ground and not allowing my hips to open up. First full kick I threw off the ball of my front foot flowed through like butter and was harder than a similar effort level off my old kick. Crazy guys, thank yall
That first step is exactly what my instructor taught me. Don't even throw the kick, just twist the hip, pivot the feet. That is the best knowledge I've ever received...so glad to see it in the video
FINALLY some explains what to do about it not just saying ''hey turn in your hip''... your place is Sinbi MT? been to your neighbours at Tiger Muay Thai, Phuket is a nice place for a Muay Thai vacation!

the second drill, even without doing it, gave me a big "AHA!" understanding! Ingenious drill!
Great
My biggest problem! Excellent tips!😁🙏
I like the video. I just started and I definitely have to work on that. Thanks.
Great video, thanks so much. I’ve been having my Thai trainer correct my RH kick for about a year, it’s getting better, but in my case it definitely has smth to do with the hip mobility, so I have to work on that too.
That’s some kick, trying this next training session in 2 days. Great video and thanks guys
Greetings these vid comes at the right time for my clients will strt to impliment right away,
Thanks MuayThai PRO
Thank you for the "Hip twist"
Thanks good drill will practice it tomorrow
Thanks
Thanks yo!
This videos is showing the best explanation, clearly understanding , easy to study.
Great content bro. I just started muay thai and i wasn't able to understand this hip thing but your video taught good things and its working slowly and steadily
This definitely helps. It makes my kick go higher too! Ty guy's 🙏
From a Tae Kwon Do background, we learn to turn the hip over and turn the heel of the bottom foot to the target. The difference is the focus on generating power with follow-through. TKD does so much point kicking that we learn to maximize speed. I know this is a beginner's video here, but speaking from experience, I was (and still am) relatively inflexible. I'm tight through the hips. Getting this technique to work properly requires stretching, but more importantly strengthening the glutes so they can raise the leg to the side and hold it there. You need that to kick high, regardless of the variation of round house you throw.
Great stuff guys. Very well explained with great training tips.
🙏🏻
i love those drills! awesome job
Glad to hear that.
Bai mangal good job !
Very very cool!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍😎
ty
Nice sir
Great channel🙏
Cheers
Wow! Great stuff! I needed that! I am a black belt in Taekwondo but I feel Thai kicks are way more powerful and effective. I am absolutely going to add these kicks to my drills and fighting.
Kicking through the rope was insanely helpful! Can’t recommend more!!!
I did not mean to report your video mb it was very helpful thanks 🙏🏽
Music is so relaxing
Great content Guys, thank You! Few more and I’m Bangkok ready
As long as you are eager to learn, you are already Bangkok ready. Lots of good trainers over there.
thanks a lot for this video guys!
the trick with the ring is great!
i don`t have a ring at home but i will build something with ropes :)
great video guys keep up the great work 😊
Cheers Stuart
The golden kick and hip over both have their place
I’m a beginner and these videos are really helpful, thank you very much
Glad to hear that. Keep on practicing and improving.
Very helpful and I'm glad you included something you can practice without a partner! Thanks
Turning the hips is something that most westerners struggle with. You can also place your leg up on the ring and replicate the second drill on your own as well, but it is easier to have a partner grab your leg.
Love the rope technique! will be trying this next time. I have a friend who also mentioned something similar with putting a chair in your way but this looks safer and more practical as you have options of high and mid kick!
Take whatever works for you and discard the rest. Cheers for the comment.
I liked the last exercise.
Thanks for this video
All I hear from the muay Thai clubs I was involved in or visited was turn your hips over,now twenty five years later I see this video
Anne's right high kick is a thing of beauty
He was a beast in his prime.
Thank you a bunch .. now m'y kikcing becomes more powerful than ever
It was good to do in slow motion. Because we can see better the technic and mistakes we do
Thank you! My coach does not teach it this way. He just shows me and expects me to mirror him. Sad :(
@@aminbagheri4931 exactly right
Wow thanks for this i get it :)
My hips is killing me, but great videos, i just fat and overweight so i need this to correct my kick, i got a good exercises with correct form
4:36 working legs and curvature, kicking better, muito bom video.
i love you and i like muay thai the beast trainer
Okay I'm beginning to keep my balance now, why am I in a world where I have to fight and exercise, this shit is long lool. But yo I have to protect the familiar, for me ill just walk away from a fight, but touch one of my loved ones, I have to step in, step on, then step out. Good video bruh
For some weird reason I snap my kicks I think mainly because I did karate for a while but so far I’ve done Muay Thai for 3 months. So thank you a lot
Make a video on how to improve your left leg (weak leg) kick please 🥺
3 broken toes in and I’ve noticed this is my problem. Been stretching my hips to turn it over but it’s slow work
Keep on working hard and it will come after time.
How's the progress? I've been doing muaythai for about 2 months now. At my current gym we use the 2nd method from the video where we practice turning in the hips while your partner holds your leg. Is it normal for it to hurt my hips quite a bit at the start when practicing turning my hips in?
@@lemmefeelyerjibblets8856 yes it is normal.. i’ve made progress doing the turn overs daily finally not as tight. My left is lagging behind my right tho.
I'm hoping to start Muay Thai after the corona virus lockdown. Just concerned that not once in my life have i ever been able to touch my toes, I can make a right angle with my body and my fingers go to about my knees lol. how much of a problem would that be with kicking? would my hamstrings (and whatever else) loosen up after a few months or is it going to be doomed from day one?
When you do a volley in soccer(football)
It’s actually the same of throwing a round house kick
You pivot and twist on your toes aiming for the target
Hip mobility is the key
2:00 side view hip turn
2:18 front view hip turn
2:46 following through with the kick
As usual, a great video and Ann seems like a great guy.
A request...I think Ann has touched on this on the past, which is how to impart the speed to the twisting torso to get to the hip-turned-over position that Ann was pushing you to do in catching the kick drill. I remember in one of your videos, Ann or perhaps another teacher talks about pushing off the rear (kicking) foot to give you the forward speed you then convert to turning over your hips.
It would be great if you could put together a video with all the tips needed to get that velocity by which you turn forward speed into the twisting angular speed. From the small amount of formal training I've done an loads of drilling and watching yt videos...they seem to be 1. pushing off the rear, kicking foot, 2. stepping forward on the ball of the foot (or according to others, to the side and forward) 3. rotating the kicking side shoulder toward the target (some teachers use the method of having the student turn the head to make the shoulder follow, but this would then be something you would have to de-program), and 4. the piston like movement of the arms. I'm sure there are other tips that Ann and your teachers have that go way way beyond this.
I've found that a failure to get that initial speed into forward motion leads to a stalling out of the twisting motion, which in turn means the planted leg doesn't rotate, which then leads to over recruitment of the internal rotators of the kicking leg, and since the planted leg doesn't pivot enough, the kicking leg goes into excessive internal rotation (which hurts...I've trained ma for decades, so bad form immediately equals bad feelings).
Just some thoughts, keep sharing! I don't think anyone on yt has put together all the components necessary to show how to create the velocity so you can turn your hips over without taxing out the hip rotator muscles themselves.
Thanks again for some more clear teaching as opposed to "kick harder!"
Appreciate the detailed comment, but it sounds like you are over complicating all of the movements. I have a few other Kicking videos (How to throw a Muay Thai Kick - which is the one you are referring to) that have more of a breakdown of the actual kick. This video is purely to try and get you to focus on activating the hips when you throw that kick. The best way to work on your kick is to have someone watch you kick, and give you direct feedback on the spot. That way they can diagnose the problem, without over-complicating the issue. Good luck.
What you refer to when you say pushing of your rare foot is the use of the ground reaction force, which is a proper way of executing any kick. That means that instead of lifting your leg with your muscles you push the ground and use the ground reaction force to lift your leg. The force of pushing the ground will return back to the motion of your kick and thus result in a faster and stronger kick. You can use the ground reaction force for your punches also. Throw a jab using the ground reaction force with your rare leg and you'll see.
Now back to your problem. I think the reason that you can't get that proper motion for your roundhouse kick when using ground reaction force, is because you are using your leg when pushing of the ground instead of using your hip. You need to push of the ground with the twist of your hip instead of pressing down with the muscles of your leg. You need to master that simultaneous forward backward motion. Your hip twists forward and at the same time this also presses your rear leg in the ground. U use the ankle and the press of the knee of course but everything starts in the hip. Your hip pushes the ground simultaneously with the twist. You don't push the groung with your leg and then twist your hip. Thst's why you are late in rotation and that's what makes that awkward feeling. The goal is to add the ground reaction force into yor hip twist. When you do this properly you will feel that natural fluent whipping motion. The one that feels right like you talk about. And try to do this without steping into the kick at first. Then later when you master the motion you can ad the step in. Although I prefer kicking without steping into the kick or steping in very liltle because it's a huge telegraph. When you master proper technique and use of ground reaction force you don't need to step in to make your kick pwerfull. Hope it helps
Bro I have the same issue, I started to do situps and snap really hard fast at the top. Then I standing in front of the bag while moving my hip trying to generate power from the hip without kicking. I did the same with my shoulders.
And now finally I’m landing head kicks
How long should I practice these drills? Great video by the way 💯
5-10 mins daily will be a good amount of time to really improve your hip twist
Ive been doing muay thai for a year and Ive always felt like kicking was just something I couldnt do. Only now am I realizing its cause of my terrible flexibility lol
Almost like a boxing hip and torso movements
Great! Would you do one on low kicks anytime?
Its the same thing but lower.
@@halleykenyon8992
Not at all
best advice for kicks in general and low kicks especially is to bounce on your partner's leg, like that you'll come back way faster into fighting stance and develop proper technique, once you have that you can practice strenght on the pads or heavy bag but always have that bouce effect
@@yannickhs7100 example please?
my main problem is getting unbalance a little bit after doing the 45° getting the back foot of my feet and putting it back in the past position of my stance
Great video! Anyone have any tips or advice for a 51 yr old who thinks he's 30 still and is considering joining a Muay Thai gym? Have had minor lower sciatic discomfort a couple of years ago but ok now with stretching everyday.
Would like to be able to kick somewhat decent eventually.
Keep up the great videos! Hello from San Diego California!!!
Ben way to learn good technique in a safe environment is to book privates with a trainer, and learn the basics. If you can't afford privates, find a gym that is good at developing beginners, and then go from there (read reviews). Best of luck.
I’m 48 and just started Muay Thai. I’ve had back and hip injuries from other sports that limited my mobility. I started with some private lessons from a trainer and that has helped me immensely. They can show you the technique properly and offer corrections during the training.
The trainer also showed me some exercises with a foam roller to loosen the hips and back. It’s been a lifesaver
Good luck and have fun with it!
