5 Variations of (Round) Low Kicks
ฝัง

- When we think of Muay Thai, we picture that low roundhouse kick to the legs, but there are many different variations and functions of this kick. Most of them are meant to do damage, to break down the muscles/ligaments in the thigh, but some are used to off-balance and create distractions. Let's take a look at 5 different ways of throwing a round kick to the legs.

Would throw these low kicks more but I've still got the image of Silva's floppy shin engraved on my mind.
Then set them up. Don't just kick after a combination or for the sake of kicking. Set them up with hands, change the level of your kicks to keep the opponent guessing. As in go to the body until you make them believe the next kick is going to the body, then chop away at the leg. Break the rhythm of your kicks too so as soon as you're about to throw the kick & you see the opponent is ready to check it, keep the kick chambered or stall the kick a bit until the opponent puts his/her leg back down then right as they put that weight back down on their leg, kick the hell out of it. Use feints & get your opponent off balance, then kick while they're trying to regain that balance. There's so many ways to land a kick you just have to get creative. Good luck & have fun!
John Y Low kicks are too easy for me to set up. I almost get bored of it in sparring that I end up trying other things, only to go back to low kicking without realising because it's now natural for me. I'm guessing you haven't been training for that long. The most important this is to set them up with punches. Throwing the kick without delay immediately after landing a left hook or as they back away. Observe your opponent's stance: Are they even ready to check low kicks? Are they heavy or light on their lead leg? Are they standing square or in a sideways stance? If your opponent loves to check kicks, fake the low kick before landing punches and finish with the kick again. Also, when you're opponent commits to throwing a punch, they have all their weight on the lead leg, unless they are floating in the air lol. And when all their weight is on their lead leg, it's impossible to check the kick.
To summarize:
- Punches first. The left hook especially.
- As they are punching they can't check low kicks.
- Trick them if they like to check kicks, and then throw the kick.
- If you block their kick, immediately counter with low kick.
Kick with instep bro, it will stomp down shin check
use sin gurds
That is funny...that was a shocking moment of ouch
great tips my grandma doesn't even stand a chance
More like “How To Give Wicked Charlie Horses”. that inner thigh is so soft and meaty and vulnerable. I caught a shin to the front/inner quad HARD yesterday so this is great timing. Good shit as always
Yeah who are these mysterious people who say inside leg kicks don't work? That shit hurts dude
Ethan To there’s something mentally draining about it too because it doesn’t look or connect like a devastating head or body kick so it feels like it hurts waayyy more than it should.
My left kick is too weak to make it hurt, but definitely works as a nuisance, and my pendulum step doesn't have too much power.
Thanks Shane, I am more of a Dutch kick-boxer, then Muay Thai, but I need to watch more videos like this, because for the past couple of years.I have been struggling to throw the perfect round house kicks.
Great tips bro. The same can be applied for head kicks too. Sometimes it is much better to invest more time in improving the speed kick since it takes less effort with a higher accuracy.
I love your kick videos. I don’t train at a gym or anything, but I have always enjoyed being able to employ kicks as well as my punches
It's always a pleasure to see you guys making Muay-Thai looks valuable.The infinity smooth moves makes me want learn more on my own and it has a law of gravity that we should keep in mind.
I really love to have one of your fightips gloves.. from philippines here
Me too
Same here

Wow I can’t believe I’ve never heard of the concept aim with your knee, that actually helps me a lot
thanks my grandma couldnt react to this kicks at all
now this was great content. your gave me everything i need to practice it and how to land it. plus i love kicks
I changed my kckboxing gym and after watching this I realized the first one was about power kicks and the second one about speed kicks. I thought the second gym was doing it wrong but now I know the truth. Thanks Shane.
Great content as usual. Straight to the point and super effective! Thanks a lot
I'm creating my own fighting style which is more focused on defense and counter by dropping people down and these kicks help me to make more moves. Thank you and please don't blame me for using your video as references .
Edit : I call it CQSD art ( close-quarter self defense art )
That original
Cool

Possibly one of the coolest comments ive seen on yt. Good luck man!
*That moment when you tune into fight tips after training and see the same moves that were taught at class by your Sensei who doesn't watch TH-cam*
That TaeKwondo vs Muay Thai video you did with Kwonkicker was what got me to start spam watching videos from you and him along with guys like Wmpyr and such. Definitely helped me in my Martial Arts journey and the videos you guys release still are a big part of my training with my friends and such. So just saying a big thank you to you guys as I look to become a pro fighter and awesome instructor. Osu!
ty for all the videos tips and confidence you help foster. I am sure you have helped many a fighter learn new things and you are a huge contribution to the furtherment of all mma.
These videos are gold. Thanks, mate!
This is awesome.. Will practice these. Thank you sir.!
Wow man...love ur work..i just try mma yesterday and ur work help alot
Sensacional, bem explicado e chutes de ótima qualidade
Have you checked out MMAShredded's leg kicks? They are so on point and clean every single time. Also Shane, I wonder if you could go on the Joe Rogan Experience?
waterlegend72 No offense to Shane at all, but Joe Rogan has MMA champions and their specialist coaches on the podcast along with renowned Physicists/Physicians followed by Navy Seals and CEO’s. Shane is not going to be remotely interesting enough at this point in his life for a 3 hour podcast. Good video tho, most of these are for casual fans and people who do not train regularly.
@@JohnsArchipelago ya that's when I started watching these I was just a casual trying to figure out all my Thai kicks.
@@JohnsArchipelago if he can become possibly a coach and start to become a coach for mma fighters then to champs its possible but for now no
John Yi that’s not true, dickhead. Joe had on a sort of but not really well known ufc fighter named suga Sean and he was being as hell. He hS barely accomplished anything in his career and is suspended for cheating.
Jeez Freedom.. Why the salt? =D Shane on JRE would be awesome! i think that Joe has a pretty long queue tho...
Good stuff guys, very concise and good insight!
Fantastic video. Just what I needed!
Great tutorials, as allways!
Great to see another vid love them ❤️
Good explanation, thank
Awesome skill
San shou/Sanda kicking is similar to a combination of Dutch and Thai kicking. The outward turning of the rooted (non kicking) foot with an upward trajectory to the thigh slightly above the knee. An alternative target is the fibular head (slightly below the knee) where the Common Peroneal (fibular) nerve travels. In inside roundhouse with the pulling sweep can also be used to set up takedowns and throws.
Just a thought or two.
Great videos. Subscribed.
Mans flinging shoulder sweat in the dojo 😂 you are a legend Shane
Great info!
Great work!!
I can hit the torso when I do weak leg roundhouses, but my lead leg is severely lacking in both flexibility and dexterity. Practicing these low kicks has been a godsend so far, even if I only use lead leg low kicks as distractions.

4:55 Vince looking like a stone cold killer
He's looking at me like "just give me a reason bro..." 😬
useful information thank you shane
Very awesome video I love the breakdown. I got confused on the terminology, I'm guessing the shuffle is pretty much the switch kick as you demonstrated during Inside and Scoop kick?
You know what would be cool, a video of just leg exercises for fighters (if you don't already have one) training the upper body and core has aways been rather easy to me but I never know what to do with my legs in a workout aside from squats movement drills and some kicks against the heavy bag but I feel like one could definitely do more
Excellent tutorial man
ur videos are best on youtube
ty
Thank you!
loved the video🔥🔥🥊
I am a low kick lover, it's very effective. great ;)
fightTIPS thank you sir!
Thanks for the wonderful fight tips bro 👍. Feel that i should come to your hometown and try you once 😁
Great info I love your stuff
Love this!
Good job
Man your the best ever!!!!!!
I like using that lead inside thigh kick to set up a powerful kick to the outside of the same leg
Hey love your channel. I;ve been watching for a really long time and have used what youve taught me to just kinda mess around with my friends. Im thinking about getting more serious about martial arts. However, I have a pretty severe visual impairment. I have 0 central vision. I can use my peripherals pretty effectively and relative to my friends im an ok boxer, but im curious about what discipline you would recommend looking into for someone in my position
Wow that's the video that I was need
Great!
I love to throw that inside kick, but angle it upwards, about 45 degrees. It takes the leg off the floor and impacts the balance. People who say it's ineffective, are throwing it wrong
Great video Shane like always. One question, where can I get those shorts you're wearing?
Obrigado, não entendi a linguagem mas consegui entender o que voce queria dizer, mais um inscrito!
If you have a long arm or if they’re leaning in you could even use that “swing the sweat hand” to throw a hammerfist to the jaw, cheek, ear, or temple as you throw that leg kick, pretty high percentage.
Hey, Shane! Do you have any recommendations about using the Axe kick in a kickboxing setup? I've seen a few fighters including k-1 legend Andy Hug using them. I was wondering if you have some strategies or tactics to using the axe kick effectively in a kickboxing or MMA match.
The hooker v barboza fight shows that inside leg kicks work
That's the 3rd comment I've seen about this fight. I need to go watch the replay!
Hooker said he was invincible. Lol
GSP vs Koschek is also a good example of the inside low kick
@@robertrobertson8575 Barboza Vs Pettis and Tyrone Along Vs Angel De Anda are the best examples. Along with Thiago Silva Vs Jared Torgenson.

3:02 with that kick my Muay Thai coach always taught me I MUST step to the out side with the back leg before throwing that kick; other than giving it more power it actually is a lot more safe.
I did it once without stepping to the outside and it hit my sparring partners knee instead of his calf.. and even with shin guards my shin suffered a HUGE swelling (luckily nothing was broken but I couldn't use that leg for 2 weeks.
soo... yeah! step to the outside! lol :)
@Leroy Jenkins is that Bubba Jenkins??! =D
@Leroy Jenkins LoL sorry there's an MMA fighter that appears on the channel called Bubba Jenkins that appears on this channel sometimes; thought it might be you LOL! xD
You're damn right about leg kicks tho.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyokushin low kicks are powerful as much as muay thai low kicks,but more versatile because in kyokushin they're also kick with the heels to the legs..and those are devastating kicks. I think all the kicks in kyokushin karate are very powerful and develop to stop the opponent.
Zach N Muay Thai also has kicks with the heels...lol
I love these videos keep them coming...also i started doing short kickboxing film study on my channel
Hey Shane! Could you do a variation of this video from the southpaw stance?
I like to use the speedy low kick for MMA. Because there's so much risk in kicking full force in MMA. For kickboxing I like to switch it up since there isn't as much moving
Shane could u do a knee and back kick to the abs tutorial ..? Right knee and turn to use left feet for the back kick
Please do one for hook kicks next
I think Vince should get a cookie for that question
Is that because of Barboza fight ?or it is just a coincidence
I actually didn't get to see it yet -- but I heard it was awesome!
fightTIPS you should’ve seen the speed and reaction time of that flying knee knockout
@@user-qv1cs3xo4p flying knee? His last fight he won with a bodyshot
That was such a great fight! I was afraid Barboza was done - not! His leg kicks were amazing. After watching I feel like why can't I do that? Well,, I can't.
@@fighttips Dan Hooker is a solider for how long he endured.
Hi please do you have a video on how to kick properly please? Everytime I spa my leg hurts alot
Very interesting
Hey there Shane!
I have a question. I've been training recently on the heavy bag doing my kicks, but after training, I always get this sore feeling on my right ankle when I dorsiflex. My left ankle is fine though.
Is this just part of training, or am I kicking the bag wrong? This never happens when I train with thai pads.
You should try stiffining (contracting) up your ankle when shooting for kicks because what these instructors don't teach you is to not let your ankles fly loose when your kicks lands. It also helps bare pain more when landing.
Shane can you please make a tutorial of wrestling counters for kickboxers
You should get the gang together and discuss the Lee Iaquinta fight. That shit was bananas.
Nice
Do a kind of "try to unbalance someone with kicks/punch ( not wresling or judo) " exists?
Shane my bro, where can I get those sick shorts that Vince is wearing?
Do u hit with the side or the middle of the shin for dutch style?
Volkanovski used them bloody kicks so well against Holloway
Great explanation! I was wondering, how can you defend or block the inside leg kick? Having a hard time in sparring (and also I can assure you it does hurt!)
Affirm Shane :)
Easy! Slightly lift your knee and turn it inward, so they hit the top of your shin instead of your inside thigh.
I'm not some bigshot or anything but I'd totally love to be on the fight tips show to learn from and meet Shane

Any chance to show case MT lower leg kick with Jhanex Alviz? the breakdown would be awesome!

عمل جيد استمر
No skip video
super
Hey Shane can you make a vid on how to condition your body and legs for getting hit ?
2:50 beyond Randy Couture, Dan Henderson LOVES to use the front inside leg kick and then throw the H-Bomb to follow. He brutally KO'd Bisping with that combo.
The kick freezes the opponent, and the cross smashes the stationary opponent.
Hey Shane! If i was sparring or in a match I definitely wouldn't do this. But in a self defense situation when the attacker may not have experience and/or is truly trying to harm me, would it be effective to throw a hard outside leg kick right on the knee joint?
Works but incredibly risky, all they would have to do is get in a checking motion and you’d probably break your shin connecting with the bent knee bone

Shane, please make a video with David Bertrand!
Ahhhhh the sound of hitting a good ass low kick like *WHAAACCKK* then seeing your opponent crumble while still looking you in the eyes extremely confused... nothing like it
Is there a way I can toughen up my shins not only for kicks but blocking kicks
Vince Benavidez, Josephs little bro 👍
Very good but can you learn us the defence of low kicks of mui thai can we use of our knee? But i think that thay use diagonal kicks
Dont know where he got this Information but dutch style kick like we do in Germany and Netherlands is the first kick he show like Thai kick
million dolla baby i’m training in france and my coach as 30 years of exp approx and teach my exactly the same way as you
Peter "The dutch lumberjack" Aerts. Kicks like this as well. like the name suspects, He uses his leg as an axe.
Seems like he was using Mr.Perfect as the baseline rather than dudes like aerts and dekkers
Of course that both ways of kicking are used by fighters some just prefer one over other. It depends on the situation, of course that Dutch fighters also use axe like kicks.
That's exactly what I was thinking
My video froze when Shane threw the first kick and it was the perfect down one motion
My thaiboxing or muay thai instructor taught us to do exactly that power kick. But not twist the foot as much. I don’t know about that, is he correct? He also told us to keep our hands by the end of our eyebrows the sides closest to the ears.
Is the Dutch style kick better for mma to avoid the takedown? I use the standard Thai style but feel I’m too exposed and not quick enough
likely
Hey Shane love your vids! Any tips on low kicks for southpaw guys? Whether you're fighting in southpaw or against someone who is
If you use a southpaw stance against an orthodox, control the opponent's hands, right hook to the body and then left low kick to the inner sx thigh. (Ernesto Hoost )
You may want to consider also kicks to the arms (when guard is up) to counter fighters that are heavy hitters or have good boxing skills. (Samkor is probably the greatest southpaw heavy-kicker Muay Thai fighter of all times)
@@ontheroadtechno Okay, cheers man.
Were can I see Vince”s fight?
I understand that everyone has their own way of doing things, but in my opinion personally....for an outside leg kick, I like the Muay Thai style kick because it not only has more of a hip rotation, but less risk of injuring your leg upon your opponent checking the kick. As for a dutch style tho, I personally would go for more of an inside leg kick. The result is a beautiful setup for other combos.
Muay thigh kicks is how you break your leg. so much telegraph
We use a lot of these in kyokushin karate
