Muay Thai | How to throw a Kick

- This is a collection of fighters showing their way of throwing the Muay Thai round kick (Rear body kick). Sam-A, Orono, Samart, and others. All rights to these videos belong to the fighters themselves and Kings Muay Thai does not take any credit.
if you're practicing this kick without a target, don't stop the kick and pull back, follow through with it. When you hit a bag, pads, or an opponent, the solid object you hit helps you reset. If you train this in shadowboxing, make sure youre following through.
Interesting. Thnx for the tip
Yup. Doing roundhouse without bags gives you a spin and back from your fighting pose. Dont pull back unless you are gonna do some combination.
wym by following through ?
@@user-us4mc7ej3c he means dont stop mid air ...complete the full motion
You're right
make sure you make a "YEEHHAA!" sound every time you kick, otherwise you lose 30% power
D.J. Valentine making an OOOIIIIII sound is also an alternative
Oooiiiii - that's when you know its muay thai
@@bananananana6205 Lol
Who makes a "yeehaa" sound when they kick
sfx me and my muay thai guys.
I trained alongside the second guy in Thailand. His clinch game is crazy.
DOES "THE SECOND GUY" HAVE A NAME??
How was his kissing game tho?
@@wabbitnred3609 Sam A
Wabbit N Red i think it’s Saksurin
@@maxryan6448 that's him.
The more you practice the more this stuff comes naturally to you. By using the heavy bag you hear the sounds of your kicks and can figure out the best positioning for your feet and hips to get that perfect kick. Don’t fear the man who knows a thousand moves, fear the man who practices one move a thousand times
Right Bruce!!
As an American, I have a thousand bullets!
Spot on sir! @codypellom
Hahaha its true
@@Helljumper7200 yeah and each of the bullets are for different guns! I have 1000 sniper bullets for my .50 cal!
Thanks for making this. Yesterday I had a pretty bad session and couldn’t seem to string it all together. I’m hoping after watching these today I’ll be more competent.
You're welcome, dont get discouraged. Muay Thai is very difficult but with hard work and dedication you will reach your goals. Keep it up
@@KingsMuayThai Once again, thank you - needed these words today! I'm doing a Muay Thai camp and 4 days in and never had any sort of MMA training before. The trainers out here in Thailand are ace, but at times it seems they forget some of us haven't been practising the art since pre-teens.
how did your next session go?
@@monkeyishi much better!
@@novaprospects These things take time because of the huge learning curve.
Brain is trying to connect a lot of concepts together and the body is trying to adjust. Especially if we're starting as adults. Speaking from experience here.
Have fun with it and eventually you'll find yourself picking things up.
I feel I wanna kick something..
Find a tire or a tree.
Or use XXL elastic pants, put one leg inside of the other and put sand inside of it.
I usually train that way when I can't go to the gym or other reasons.
Or if you a psycho you can simply kick animals.
Or if you are straight up mad, you can go kick someone.
Me2
Don't we always feel like that?
Kick my friend.
Hahahahaha
flexibility is a huge factor when kicking, beginners will notice this when they try. alongside kicking practicing flexibility makes you able to not only kick higher but will also help your balance.
this💯
I studied kung fu for a while and my roundhouse always felt stiff and awkward. When I switched to a thai kicking style they got so much faster, stronger, and more comfortable. It's crazy
I have just begun to learn Muay Thai (im 40+) and i trained other martail Arts when i was young.
This roundhouse is so difficult for me, i was learned to "kick over a fence" when doing a roundhouse kick and now in Muay Thai you kick through the "fence".
I feel as a complete noob again and i love it :)
It's kind of like snapping your punches or pushing the punches. They both have their place.
“Kick through the fence” ay 😂
What's your bilan 3y later ?
I start muay thai since 1y and I'm 40y old too (but no other martial arts XP). Its quite difficult to me too this kick but get better recently since a coach insist for I step before I kick (like they say in video)
oh my goodness i feel like i just found a literal diamond in the rough with this channel. happy training to you all! be kind to one another
ayyyy i should say i meant no disrespect. a diamond is still a diamond. lets gooooooo :)
Really helpful to hear so many different explanations for the same movement
*Living in Thailand and training with a Thai is crazy good. Even if you're not a professional or even amateur fighter (like me), to be taught properly and with perfect technique is the best. This is not to take away from people who aren't Thai who are excellent fighters, but its very cool to learn from the locals in the country of origin. And for those who ask why learn if not to use it to fight, because if you want to keep fit and get in shape, I cant think of a better sport to do it in. Sawatdeekrub!!*
i wasn't taught to raise my heel when doing karate as a child, now i see that the heel is the key to "throwing" a good kick
Sir,
Karate kick can be made strong; but you have to first forget what you were taught in any sports (Karate) school.
(Even, some promoted deadly Karate schools do the training like sports but just make the style more aggressive to invite newcomers)
In fact;
🙏 TKD / Karate / KF kickings are based on the same fundamental concept which relies on rooting, whereon the standing legs must bend a bit and keep the body stability and the standing heel does not lift up when kicking. Twisting waist is the same as Muay Thai.
- TKD / Karate / KF kicking can be strong upon your deep rooting (the horse riding stance training must be deep and adjustable to 'more than' 3 levels - being, at least, deepest deeper and deep); and your body stability control must be based on hard training. This kind of training is not available in sports school ; but be found in special schools.
I love Muay Thai; but I have had chances of training in several schools (styles / sub-styles). Each martial art has its own secret training. We have to open our mind and start the journey to experience new things on the conceptual thinking in mind that our skills still need to be polished. 🙏
PS. We have to understand the difference between the acrobatic skills (show off in the action films) and the martial skills. Then, our training will be accurate. Most trainees in TKD / Karate /KF do not understand this thing and their trainings are based on how to be like a popular action-movie star. 🙏
1:24 looks like a waiter from some restaurant explaining the kick technique, has a break at work :DDD
lo
HAHAHA！
LOL! Imagine that on the first day of joining a muay thai gym you're told that don't listen to Bryan, the waiter from the restaurant from across the street, we keep kicking him out but always comes back to instruct people! Hahaha!
Haha! I just noticed that he dissappeared after giving the instructions! LoL!
Yeah. He is a promotor and own a muay thai gym.
I really appreciate the first guys time to go throught the whole movement, im now going to switch from tkd stance to muay thai.
Balance tkd and the thai style
@@trentmclellan1037 impossible only thing he could do is be lighter on his feet like a boxer in a muy Thai stance but that wide ass tkd stance just won’t work for Muay Thai
I weight 64kg, have skinny chicken legs and don't look like someone who could hurt anyone. But after two years of practice, when I throw a roundhouse on the heavy bag, it does sound like a firearm. I drilled the switch roundhouse even more, because all it takes is one blow to the liver. Note that your leg should not be completely extended when you hit : it extends through the target, your goal is basically to chop a man in half.
Nice advice. Thanks guy
this helped me getting back into it after 2 months from an injury thanks a lot.
This is a good video, a lot of instructional vids I’ve watched don’t cover the pivot of the posting leg. This one does.
I have monstrously muscly legs and I feel like I’m putting myself at a disadvantage if I don’t learn to utilize them in traditional street fighting.
Legs give you a huge advantage in street fighting I think, since in those situations people tend to get mad and throw punches like crazy, not paying much attention to legs
(Also, what's your leg routine?)
@@nikthetrickster9948 probably genetics
@@nikthetrickster9948 GOMAD and not being a manlet probably
I think performing a roundhouse in a streetfight is pretty risky since it's relatively slow and the opponent is probably always rushing to close the distance and hit your head with a barrage of punches so there's a big chance that it's not gonna hit with maximum power. Teeps and front kicks on the other hand could be really effective in maintaining distance and disrupting the other guy's rhythm. Spinning back kicks are pretty advanced but they can catch the other guy off guard and it even works in kickboxing and MMA when done correctly. IMO takedowns and wrestling are probably the best things to use in a streetfight to minimize damage to both yourself and the other guy.
@@lazydog5065 the problem with wrestling/take downs though is if you go to the ground and the person you are fighting has a friend near by, your getting your head stomped in. NEVER go to the ground! You don't know whose friends are near by. In a one on one setting sure, but its never really one on one.
this helped me ALOT in championships. It increased damage on my opponent and added extra balance to myself.
Awesome video, very detailed! I’ve trained in boxing for 10 years but I finally decided to start adding some kicks into my arsenal. The step forward came naturally, but after I kicked I was having trouble bringing my leg back and made me feel off balance. I’m starting to get addicted to the feeling of throwing that good kick though, feels like I’m hitting the heavy bag with a bat... but my shins aren’t conditioned at all 😅 so it’s gonna take some time.
Contrats, mate. That's natural, as you're used to a much wider stance. Just begin by closing in your feet a bit at a time and you'll find a much easier time standing back.
if you take the time to continue to condition your shins, kicks paired with your hands from boxing can make a deadly combination
My grandma didn’t stand a chance
Overused, unoriginal one bruh.
That's gold bro lol
Old but gold
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOO
This made me laugh so fucking hard though 😂
Hahaha never seen this one before 😐
This is just what I was looking for. thank you!
The editing is awesome, thanks for the video
I watched this and tried and just increased my kicking power a bunch! This helped me out tremendously!!
Bruh how do u pivot on your toe and kick ...I can't balance 🥺
@@oknowu8824 You got weak legs
@@flawlessxyeti4138 😭😭😭
@@oknowu8824 Do some leg workouts it’ll help you more
@@oknowu8824 and just practice lol
Samart is so light on his feet its just natural.
Thank you. This helped me to see a lot of wrong technicalities that I do with my roundhouse.
WONDERFUL instruction!!
This is brilliant!! Just what i need! Thanks soo much for this video!! New sub! 💪💖👍👏
youre welcome
This has sloved a major problem for me!! I was rotating the moment my foot left floor. Need to roitate hip only when kicking knee is at thigh level! :) THANKS!
Sam A's "bad" kick is hilarious. It reminds me of a child who's been told to do something he doesn't want to do.
Then his actual kick is vicious.
I improved my kicks just by watching this, great video man!
"boom.. u turn boom.. u kick wid ur shiin and turn ur hips.. tshhhh"
i just love thais. so much heart.
Good video well explained n effective,Go Thailand my home town.Much love for the people n sport.
I miss Muay Thai trainings :(
Will go back one day
Awesome video! Thx for the upload
Must Thai is so cool, the kicks are so powerful
Great video 🤘🏼 always come back to it
I never took a step forward thanks a lot💪🏼💪🏼
Mannnn 5-6 weeks into Muay Thai Jiu Jitsu, wish I found this video sooner, happy I got it now
The way my kru described it to me ( he also played collegiate baseball ) it’s just like in baseball when you swing a bat the power comes from the rotation of your shoulders , just like that but you rotate your hips and your foot to swing your shin
use a wicket !!!
Finally watched a very informative vid about kicking
Thanks for the tips, very helpful. 😊
exactly what i was looking for. thankyou
dat improved my kick so much! loving it c:
Back when i used to kick box i got tought that a round house kick was designed to be able to be done in a hallway you push through. Kind of like wrapping around their legs from the top of your shin to the bottom = maximum torque
Thank you for this video.
🙏☸
The Thais are simply world class at this. Thanks for putting this very useful video up.
use the impact to get back on guard.(it will educate your timing)
learn to kick with both legs.(making you able the reach the soft side of def. )
do not charge(foot step to far, round) to much in sparring and training( to not be readen).
my ratio : 50% right low kick (easy and good to set up respect and fear on low left side)
10% left low kick( less power but surprise effect)
30% mid kick, to chase the ko
10% high kick, difficult but good for moral.
all these should be launch after a set up.
kicks consume energy, if you miss you won't bounce back, and lose confidence, then you need to rethink your set up.
Muaythai is my life!! Love you all
Super way to teach wonderful ...swadika...from Andaman & nicobar Island
I was missing that small step forward. Thank you!
Funny.. when they show the step without executing it, they put their foot straight forward like walking, same angle as it was prior to the step. But if you watch (slow mo if no one believes me) when they actually kick, they point their foot about 20-30 degrees out when they make that step.
That's a good telegraphing for your opponent to predict your kick. He steps into the direction of your step-in and you kick loses all power.
Only useful against someone who is untrained or especially slow.
Awesome, thank you so much for instructions!
This the only video I found that explains where your arms should be
Thai fighters know power. Nice vid. :)
You guys are awesome !!
Thank you very much for English commentary
That explains it.
I just started practicing kicks again since my knee injury.
awesome 10/10 thank you
awesome job !
Thanks for the great vid
Great idea of compilating different fighter's explanation. Thank you!
I always thought it was better to bring the kick back along a straight line to the rear position, rather than following the same trajectory. This is because a straight line towards the ground takes less time than following a wide swinging motion, allowing you to become planted in stance much faster.
please do not listen to this guy no real instructor would ever say this
Oí fam this is Muay Thai not karate or taekwandoe …damn don’t listen to this
That's correct. From my perspective, Muay Thai is more focused on power and courage than speed and tactics as in for example kickboxing. Every kick is superloaded with power. I've never seen a trainer tell students to kick with a fully extended leg, though 😅 In my opinion, that's nonsense.
Helps a lot thank you 🙏
The bags caved in. That's crazy
You guys can trust Samart Payak A-run technique, he is Muaythai genius , Legend.
hi , very nice vidéo , nice explication and visual effect , can i use your vidéo for programs of boxing ?
That kick towards the elbow then down to the hip kidney area is nice
Very intéresting video. Thx u so much. Too short but nice
Love Kickboxing too!
Great video. Thank you
Thanks, grandpa never stood a chance
this is AWESOME!!!
*Some facts about Muay Chaiya* The Muay from the city of Chaiya mainly refers to a certain Ajarn Ket Sriyapai. Ket Sriyapai was the son of a governor who was active in sports promotion and brought Muay Veti fighters (Muay Thai) from Chaiya to Bangkok to promote them there. Ajarn Khet never learned Muay Thai himself. The only reason why he is called "Ajarn" is that he has written and published some (fictional) stories about Muay Thai fighters. Ajarn Ket came from a high-ranking family and therefore never fought in a boxing ring. That would have been inappropriate for his standing. His actual profession was civil servant in the building industry. Later Muay Chaiya generations (for example Ket's school friend Tonglor Yalee) mixed normal Muay Thai techniques with Silat (Indonesia), Wushu (China) and Jiu Jitsu (Japan). For these reasons Muay Chaiya, and everything that comes from this direction, can neither be called an old nor a real Thai martial art.

Well done 👍
I'm a boxer I don't actually have a career I just do it for fun, but I've been wanting to advance to kicking for a while, but never actually started working on it so thanks for the video👍
In your position rn 😂😅
Excellent video
Exactly! I concur. Pay attention to every detail this clip stresses.
The clip above is the most accurate muaythai kick I've seen on TH-cam
This video alone changed my entire theory of kicking.
Best video on the rh kick ard
So, technically, thanks for making this.
Thank you!
So beneficial video . Thanks
Wow. Great Muay thai
Amazing video! How did you edit your video with the arrows?
thats what i thought u should do. great : D
Great vid!
3:26 This guy was a Muay Thai legend.
Samart in my opinion goat of Muay Thai, Saenchai close second.
thx for teaching me it's very helpful for me to defeat my classmate
Make sure you don't hyper extend your leg or knee. Straighten it but not too much. I learned the hard way and am out for weeks with a torn ligament in my knee.
Sounds bad, is it an Acl injury
@@firddausbakri5521 mcl, not as bad as an acl. So I'm out for like 6 more weeks
@JamesClarke how's the leg now?
Best Channel,khob kun maa khap
Thank you.
Gracias por el video, no entreno Mae May Muay Thai, sin embargo, me servirá de aprendizaje
"Muito bom o vídeo ".
Reminds me a lot of a side volley in soccer, maybe not quite as much lockout
Indeed, i played soccer and have the same feeling. It can even be a way to explain/teach this kick
Indeed, can be also a way to explain/teach this kick

Very helpful
A heavy step forward is also a give away too your intentions.
Sensei I have question on roundhouse kick or low kick... when I kick heavy bag with shin not with foot It sounds and looks like I pushed the bag, and I watched this video and a lot of video about rotating whole body and rotating the foot you are standing on, and literally I watched full detail how to do it, but when I do it on heavy bag it sounds like I pushed And I also feel like I didn't do any damage.
superb!
