What do you think would a tornado kick work in a street fight?
I love your content man! Keep up the great work!
I was just thinking about something. The most usual start in a streatfight is a huck so i was thinking that maybe you could dodge the punch by ducking with it then keep spinning and doing a spinning sidekick.
Why do you have shoes on the mat?
I am here for my monthly “ you are doing great Seth “
Low kicks will always work to check if the other fighters trained
That's a great point
Ton of untrained guys that think they are great street fighters usually throw their entire upoer body back and forget about their legs, one good kick and they are down
How ? See if he bloks the kick or soemthing like that? I only fight in martial art guys so i only fight traind figters so i now that i blok is coming whan i kick
@@radivojedraskovic2148 not being offensive but I did not understand that
Yep I've seen leg kicks take the sails out a of a person that was itching to fight initially.
No push kick???
Best part of all is the Wanderlei Silva impersonation... 😂 Just that alone should be enough to stop an altercation!
1:10 that is a real sensei there. He makes even dummies contribute to the lesson.
Low kicks in mma are like the jab in boxing. The jab or low kick are underrated and very effective
Your kicks are so hard sensei, you should make a video on how to make your kicks that powerful
I can only really suggest 3 for 'reactive use' -- self-defense -- Front, Snap, & Roundhouse... and only use a Roundhouse if you can throw it well (even then, usually to their legs). I'm not a sensei tho, lol
A low round off a 1,1,2, L Body hook, Low R Round is a good combo.
Sensei Seth Thicc. Lmao bro you got tree trunks for legs. Your sidekicks would definitely crack ribs.
“I side kicked a dear” 😂😂😂
Skip side kick is my favorite kick because you throw all your weight forward. It's the same as a cut kick, but instead of just trying to touch your opponent, you're actually going to snap your leg out and throw all your weight forward to push the person down. I'm speaking in terms of taekwondo kicks
If you dont want to punch or kick, you can step on a foot and push to make him fall or do the crab technique. Striking isnt only the option.
4:40 didn't practice the kick for a woods fight either but there ya were 😎
How are groin kicks not on this list?
I knew the flying side kick would be here. It's the best "sucker punch" move there is.
Lol ultimate Move for suckers.
Running up to them grabbing the back of the head and just muay thai kneeing them in the face when they are in top mount seems pretty good as well. no need to risk balance. Maybe it is over the top tho...
@@lucasschoubye8432 That shit aint working on bigger guys.
@@Han-nk3io dude the people that can really throw a knee throw bombs
@@Han-nk3io Getting blindsided by someone sprinting with a knee directly into your temple while you are on your knees is borderline attempted homicide. if you weigh more than 140lbs that dude is not getting back up regardless of size.
Frankly, people NEVER expect high kicks unless you show off. A single head kick can be pretty effective if it's thrown with intent and precision.
I agree but given this context, can you throw a high kick precise enough? I think that's the only problem but i agree that a high kick is really unexpected
@@brunogomezvasconcellos6466 frankly, depends on a few factors - how tall and agile I feel the other guy is, if I had 0 or very little alchohol, if I'm not overly stressed (I could do it against a troublesome drunk for sure, but not if I was being robbed and afraid the guy had a concealed weapon), etc. Truth be told, fighting in a uncontrolled enviromment is a huge danger, high kick or not. I like it because of the potential to end things real fast so you can vacate the place asap.
A sidekick is the least expected kick from my experience and its quick if your form is well
@@Kali-8 I don't trust my side kick to KO someone frankly.
@@Tentacl no i dont either but if you land it on the stomach it will definitely benefit u for a combo, i tried what seth once told in a vid, and it was keep your sidekick as a surprise element, so i tried it in sparring and its fun to see when it works
"Because you don't get to pick when you're getting in an altercation."
You haven't met my alcoholic uncle then.
Thank you for teaching this "SELF DEFENCE”
Welcome lol
"I'm gonna go self defence that guy" ~ a legend 😂
"I'm wearing what I would wear on a regular basis".
Sensei, you regularly wear long sleeves with above-the-knee shorts? That alone will keep you safe in a street fight. Nobody wants to fight a crazy person.
Great video though. Love the kicking series.
Hahaha right?
I feel personally attacked by this message :-)
You've just made an enemy...FOR LIFE!
Your comment has me bothered
@@SenseiSeth hilarious...and good stuff
this video needs the front kick in it!
it's bomb after a one two
it's great für smaller people with shorter reach
it gives you distance (against a weapon wielding opponent)
you can use it while holding a barrier (shieldlike weapon of opportunity like a stool or a backpack or laptop) between you and a knifewielder
it shoves people out of your escape route
it is highly underutilised and therefore less expected
Nobody respects the front kick it is absolutely the best self defense kick
I agree, I think a tiep is #1
I agree, I love the front kick!
I have the same opinion. I would never ever use a spinning back kick, but a front kick/teep, especially on the liver, is very effective.
A front push kick is one of the main kicks I still actually practice since the last time I properly trained aaaaaages ago!
I would also say a teep/push kick is also a good kick to throw in a street fight, but I guess that serves a similar purpose to a side kick.
I’d say if you’re able to get the same speed and distance as the side kick sure! Other than that I’d say side kick is the better option IF you can side kick like it’s second nature that is.
Yeah, but you gotta be snappy or they are gonna grab your leg
Exactly. The whole point is to push back someone that is being aggressive and moving forward
@@jestfullgremblim8002 well, yeah. That being said, in Muay Thai we regularly train what to do if someone catches our kick. Unless they are trained or get super lucky, they probably either aren't going to catch it or won't be able to hold it once it's caught.
Actually it can be an advantage of sorts. If you have good balance, they'll be using both hands holding on to your leg while you are unloading on them. Happens quite a bit in sparring
@@wolfhawk1999 exactly!! I had to stop my muay thai training because of covid, but i did get to those classes!
I cannot wait to try these techniques on my wife tonight.
While dinner is cooking and we grab the kicking pad and practice together
got me in the first half ngl
“ I don’t practice the kicks (techniques) for a street fight; I practice the kicks to get better at the kicks “
Probably the best piece of advice that I’ve heard on martial arts videos in a long time!
lol at dragging the body thank you for that crucial step
This guy plays metal gear and/or hitman and/or assasin's creed. Never forget to hide the bodies.
Gotta dispose of the evidence
The only kick that make sense in a street fight is the kick in the nuts, remember that it's a street fight, risks are huge and no rules
There is one rule: survive, the best you can.
100 Percent agree. I taught my girlfriend, vulnerable targets are the most practical: kick the nuts, strike the throat or knee caps. Gouge the eyes. No need for fancy stuff.
Kicks will never work in a street fight
Says every person who can’t kick 😅
Great video Seth!
I’d only really use two and they’re both from Muay Thai. Low roundhouse and teap. Teap kicks can be caught, but if you’re an experienced or even just intermediately trained fighter in Muay Thai, you know how to counter a catch anyway. Plus it sends people flying if you use it right
I agree, teaps really work and they are not as easy to catch unless your opponent is trained to, but most of the time they are just some drunken scumbags A well aimed push kick to the solar plexus can end a fight instantly.
@@arpad-istvanozsvath6195 exactly, and they're a pain in the ass to move away from if you're untrained. A teap kick is a fighters best friend in an emergency, Thai boxers jab
What is a teap kick?
@@erenyaeger2453 a push kick, its the most average kick and even untrained fighters use it subconciously, but a trained fighter knows when to use it and how to use it effectively
@@arpad-istvanozsvath6195yep, a push kick, quickly followed by a jumping push kick works.. and works well
If someone’s coming up at you while riding on a horse sidekick is great!!
*Amish street fighting*
Haha
High kicks are thought to originate from mounted vs unmounted combatants 🧐
@@shinobi-no-bueno that’s where the inspiration for my joke came from
You mean highkick or sidekick ?
@@b.a8908 flying sidekick
Wow Sensei, never heard of this concept before *laughs in Savate : P
Yo i love Savate, i once sparred a friend of mine (he is the one that introduced me to that werewolf game) that is a Davate practitioner with Combat Sambo rules, it was so much fun
Savate originated attacks via feet/legs? 🧐
@@shinobi-no-bueno In Savate you can only kick with the shoe and punch. Not the shins or anything, so they have great kicks.
I respect the fact that you revisited this topic. "If you don't at least occasionally
contradict yourself, your position
isn't nearly complex enough."
You forgot the best kick for any street fight: a front leg snap kick to the balls. It is fast, unpredictable and almost unguardable. Even if you miss, your opponent will bend forward giving you plenty of options to finish him. I don't get into fights. If I will find my self in a fight is because someone decided to hurt me or a loved one and in that case all rules are off.
Maybe that's what happened to Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend.
not unguardable... just from the way I stand when I got conflicts in the street, most of the attempts will hit my thighs. Because turning your hips is enough... it like raising your shoulder in boxing
@@bertrandronge9019 most people won't be able to do that decently though. Even fighters won't do that except if they use karate or taekwondo stances cuz there is no kick to the nuts on almost all martial arts
@@bertrandronge9019when this happens u can still target the balls from behind, typical krav maga...
@@alvarovillar3272 no you can't... or you didn't understand the point ?
I remember actually watching a video where a guy dominated a street fight with low kicks alone. Low kicks are still so underrated.
My favorite kick in a street fight is the Reverse Gazelle. Horse stance into Karate Blade into 180 direction pivot as if to throw a spinning back kick. Plant your rear foot now facing your opponent and thrust off in the opposite direction. Continue to run until everyone is safe.
Yeah I agree with you. You may also jump INTO your opponent throwing your spinning back kick to make the impact harder. (I only recommend this when you can tell that the opponent wants to really hurt you badly.)
I agree with all of these, especially the Thai leg kick, absolutely, especially if you have trained shins like I do. I think it can be useful in a knife fight if you can’t run tf out if there. I like to use those to move in and get to do some nice nice elbows too
I do tons of sidekicks and practice rem to be used at any angle, people really don’t realize that if someone is to the right of you, you’ve got a really strong perfect side kick already set up
People pick on me a lot 🤷🏻♀️
And god I love your videos, they’re all so full of personality 😂 you got good kicks too
-Lukiana
I agree with you with the Thai kick he did. That typical kick does need conditioning on their shins before using it in the fight, or else you’ll hurt yourself as well. If you are not trained well enough you can result in injuries. If you are going for a shin kick you can use stop hits such as sidekicks or a front kick.
Sidekicks and teepkicks every day! Try checking my heel..
@@jochemajendouz9271 like poirier did to McGregor 😂
@@thedragonlady6661 Poirier fought 2 wonderful fights and I rooted for him both fights. But McBadmouth didn't break his leg on Poirier's shin. Nor do I believe he teepkicked Poirier. He threw some Karate-styled teepkick snapping his leg towards Poirier's chest. Maybe that's when he fractured his leg on Poirier's elbow, but if he would've thrown a real teepkick without snapping his leg, it wouldn't have caused him problems.
But yeah... try checking a real teepkick... there is no check 😋 there is just getting out of the way, or struggling through it right @Princess Roundhouse?
@@jochemajendouz9271 yup! I usually just twist my code a bit so it slides off because I don’t like the idea of people using teeps against me as a way to control my movement.
I don’t get why I can land certain kicks on trained professionals but for some reason people tell me I shouldn’t throw those kicks against someone who is untrained. The only difference is the setting
And the level of uncertainty in a street fight. The guy you decide to throw a spinning heel kick at, might have 4-5 friends watching. And I don't care if you're gsp, if you get rushed by 4 guys, you're gonna get hurt
How do you miss the push kick? It's so old it was used in Ancient Greece, it's so easy to do and can counter more or less most kicks because it has a direct line of entry rather than swinging from the side.
Exactly!! But people say that it is no good for street fights because they can grab your leg or you because you may slip and get your face stomped in.
Even tho both of those scenarios are posible, they are not common. grabbing legs is allowed in a lot of martial arts and you rarely see a push kick being grab, and as it is just a push kick, it is rare to see someone sliping while throwing it, unless they are in a wet marmol floor lmao
God damn it seth! You beat us to it again! 🤦🏻♂️🤣
As Icy Mike would say:
Kicks that work in a street fight... Until they don't
Ow click ow ow click
Our lord and savior 🙏🏼
insert keyboard warrior noises
As an experienced street fighter (with no formal training) I can rank my top 5 kicks with relative confidence, but in no specific order:
1. Stomp. Use this when your opponent is on the ground. I would usually recommend avoiding jumping, as it can cause you to trip over, but if your opponent is unconscious, a jumping stomp can work very well. I also classify jumping and landing on your opponent on your knees as a form of stomping.
2. Head kick. Use this when your opponent is on the ground. This kick can harm your foot and it's usually inferior to stomping, but it can allow you to kick their teeth in as they're defending the sides of their head.
3. Front kick. A powerful kick that doesn't require you to stand in a fighting stance, which means you can throw it out of nowhere to an unexpecting target. This kick also works wonders when targeted at the opponent's knee.
4. Kick to the balls. A powerful classic that can be used much in the same way as the front kick. This attack can immediately incapacitate your foe, and you can proceed to stomping almost directly after.
5. Flying kick. This one works especially well when done stealthily from behind. It's an incredibly strong attack, and it's always fun to land it beautifully to an unexpecting target.
If this isn't a joke, you need therapy my man.
Little Tip don’t actually kick the knee with a low kick..
Based from my own personal experience as a self-defense practitioner, well-timed and well-placed front kicks or teeps are quite effective in keeping your attacker or aggressor at bay.
"self-defense practitioner" xD
@@lukasfrangart1160 He's not wrong though. Snap a front kick towards a man's groin and he's usually going to back up.
From experience, most bar/street fights can be ended with a well placed front snap kick. If they don't know you have kicks in your arsenal and catch them off guard, it's pretty much over. Even better if you can add a slight hop while faking the chamber in your lead leg. I hate to use the crane kick as an example but basically that without standing there yelling I'M ABOUT TO DO A JUMP KICK. I've ended a couple of fights this way.
really surprised i didnt see the front kick/teep. amazing for creating distance and making them off balance a bit.
Teep is one of the most efdective low risk techniques. Its basically the jab but for kicking.
Not just practice but knowing the distance and timing. You left out the importance of doing those kicks. Spinning wheel kick is good, but not recommended for beginners. Not they are hard kicks to learn but getting the timing right. Setting up a Spinning Wheel Kick does take practice and learn how to set it up for a fight. Flying sidekicks are useful when seeing someone in trouble. That is when they are off guard. But used on one altercation would need to be timed right. I have hit someone with a spinning wheel kick during sparring because of timing. Sorry, Sensei Seth not stepping on your toes or sound like a nerd. You do have some good points, but could have been more detailed in the application and better shown with a partner. It is admirable to do a solo but it would be better to explain with a partner than a dummy. Good job on your video. Keep up the good work.
Bruce Lee pendulum side kick, crescent kick, flying crane, jcvd spinning split kick, and Chuck Norris roundhouse kick. All are the correct answers
Lol
I am genuinely so happy for you man. I don't know what happened but the quality of the content just quadrupled. I hope you're doing better and I hope you're proud of your videos because I'm sure as hell enjoying them.
I can't buy your courses (Living in a third world country and whatnot) but I try to leave the comment for the algo whenever I catch a break.
Much love

Sensei, no master ken groin kick?
*I SNAPPED a guy’s shin bone by baiting him to kick.* I threw a calf-kick. Feinted a right hand, then smacked another low calf-kick. He then went to throw a kick to “get me back” (he didn’t know what he was doing and clearly thought oh I’ll kick him back). I dropped my entire 155kg bodyweight into my front kick and checked his kick. He stepped back and when his foot hit the ground, his shin just snapped.
1. Low kick to ball
2. Low kick to groin
3. Low kick to head like soccer plyr
4. Low kick to shin
5. Low kick to drumstick
6. Low kick
7. Low kick
8. Low kick
Awesome video! Though I'm surprised not seeing front kick in the video. With point of contact either with the heel or the ball of the foot (in TKD). Since the kick requires less or no rotation of the grounding leg, it is less likely to slip and fall. This kick minimizes the big reason why kicks are bad on the street, terrains (weather). And the mentioned points of contact are easier to train, less likely to miss, and more forgiving if you miss em
Sensei seth, you need to make a discord server and partner with icy mike. the server can help martial artists learn, it can help you with video ideas, and it will be better with connecting and conversing with viewers opposed to the youtube comment section.
I'm surprised that you didn't include the good ole Front Kick. A heel stomp to the floating ribs can do a lot of damage and is probably the lowest risk kick of them all. I'm not even worried if my leg gets caught...what's the worst that can happen? If he knows how to sweep my supporting leg, well that's a danger for every kick. Otherwise if he catches my leg he's now preoccupied with my leg for the next second or two and that usually gives me a free punch.
What about front kicks tho? Maybe like low front kicks to the knee level or slightly above. Seems like a good way to keep some distance no? Kinda like a Muay Thai teep of sorts.
My favourite one is the front jab kick 🦵 to the knee which is way faster easier and which can make a lot pain and damage to the opponent.
Also there's low chace of getting catched .(my openion)
I'd think that a spinning back kick would be more effective than a spinning wheel kick as the wheel kick has a greater chance of being deflected, while the power of the back kick would push through, even if the bad guy gets his hands in front of it.
Low kick and knee kick are only two kicks for street fighting, because for others you need to be able to perform them fast and precise and you need to be flexiable, but more you know and more in training you are better options you have. OSU
*You couldn't be more wrong*
Groin kicks only. If too close ,Elbows knees, and then eye gouges. End of story.
I do not really agree with the premises of this video. In most altercations, someone will get in your face and surprise you and start swinging. Being on the back foot is a bad idea then because you might lose balance and momentum. You must also be able to react to someone closing the distance.
Kicking in fights is great I fought a lot of kids in my school and fools that just rush you with hits and I definitely think you’ll have the upper hand cause they don’t expect it
I would rather throw a simple front kick at mid section...or a little below that if needed, before I go for any flying kick
I remember getting caught with the spin wheel kick in my stomach during a sparring match. Was very quick, hard, effective, and just the body movement alone hid what was coming, I mean, I saw it was a spinning technique, but before I could register what was happening, I was already bent over from the impact. I love that kick.
Nope! Your best bet with an aggressor is to kick their knee. Anywhere around the knee but especially on the knee
Don't forget the good ole front kick. Classic and effective proven in many mma fights.
I though that would make the list
6:45 “I can’t let you get close”-undisputed, undefeated, pound for pound champ
Never even lost a round
What’s about straight front/push kicks? I think doorkeepers use it a lot. Even if you block it or get your arms in front of it, it will show impact and you create lots of space between you and your enemy. Maybe a little bit easier compared to the reverse hook kick. Or is there any good argument against it, that I miss?
Low kick’s would be better for the street less chance of your leg getting grabbed
Speaking of fights, I think you should try to create another fight scene!
6:45 "wanna now, wanna now" loool. Ideal Wanderlei Silva on TUF parody 😂 😂 🤣
This guy has clearly never been in a street fight, luckily for him..
Front Kick to the Groin is the only kick i would use in a street fight against a standing opponent. All the other kicks he showed l would definitely not recommend.
and restomp the groin. :D
I believe in kicks in a streetfight if you've drilled them substantially. Know that the "buck fever" will set in and that can effect your dexterity a little. The low roundhouse and side kick are definite musts, and front piercing kicks of any kind too.
Yeah, it's really about what you've drilled.
The one two high kick/body kick would be my go to because I've thrown it thousands of times.
I think side kicks for karate guys are really good because they've thrown that thousands of times.
I personally would never throw a spinning kick or side kicks because, while I can do them in a gym setting, my rep numbers are not in the tens of thousands like with the thai leg kick, body roundhouse, or high roundhouse.
I subbed, and yet, I was still kicked
the world is cruel
The snap side kick works, I have a battle scar from a knife attack. I followed up with a few crescent kicks. Note for myself and other never wear flip flops on the street.
Personally,
I’m sticking to:
1.Low Kick
2.Side kick (maybe)
3.Combo ending with the high kick.
"Cut me in line at the grocery station!" 🛒⛽😂
I agree on all of them, but would definitly swap number 3 to 5 for a front kick, if we are talking about what works better in a street fight
If you can time it well and have good aim, throw a side kick and catch them in the ribs just under the arm pit it can be pretty effective at knocking the wind right out of them.
Up Kicks are super underrated IMO
i rekon theres at least three more that are street safe to throw, effective ect. id say the jkd stop kick straight to the kneecap :P the pendulum step in to a groin kick super centreline. and a question mark kick if you know how to properly perform one
amazing video though sensei love that snap sidekick
Years ago I was trained by a great sense I. He taught me that the best way to lose a fight is to fight the other fighter’s fight. That is what is happening to many fighters. They are gravitating to a brawlers open Muay type stance, Trading blows from an open type stance.I have always preferred a modified a Japanese stance that is mobile and let’s one shift from front snap kicks to side kicks , to a 45 degree round house which is shorter and faster than a full round house. It also lets you turn slightly and fade back out of hand techniques and lets you fire off a very fast rear thrust kick , which if done correctly go the solar plexus as your opponent comes in, will take the wind out of his sails. So in summary, most useful kicks in a street fight. Front snap and thrust, side kick, especially a low stop kick to the knee , done off to the outside and in, it pops the knee right out. The spinning wheel is deadly fast and powerful. There are a couple of others, one that works well in street clothes is a shelf kick. Derived from Savage , it is used to counter a jab. As the jab comes out it is fired under the arm into the ribs .
Oblique kick/knee stomp is practical. Or kin Geri (groin kick). For me, I would keep kicks below the waist, since I'm disabled. So balance is very important in my case.

I love that 1,2 back leg round. People are typically backpedaling/circling from the 1,2 and don’t see the kick coming. Also, as many have stated, should of added a front-kick, even a thrust kick. 1,2 thrust works wonders, especially if they’re against a barrier to rebound off of. Your 1,2 sets your hips in position, and their hands are up by their face from blocking…
Great millennial comedy
where is normal front kick lol
Yes. Kick number 2 is life.
I love the idea of the last kick. A teenager can knock out a grown man with that especially if they do it drop-style. When I was a teen and I couldn’t fight for shit, all I did was drop-kick the to-go free-standing bag for the whole free-practice.
1. 1080
Well done ur first
Lmao. Maybe Ingun Yoo.
What about a good old teep? They're explosive, defensive and relatively safe. Plus if yoy hit right you end s fight.
Me as a WTF TKD guy: " it's showtime😎"
"WTF"? AHAHHAAHHAHA
Purely for Stand up, I think Dutch muay Thai is one of the best go to styles for street fighting.. more focus on hands than in regular muay Thai but combos usually finishing in a viscious roundhouse of some description..
Actually, a cool video might be "Best Martial Art Style for a Street Fight"
Honestly judo is probably the best martial art for pure street fighting because a hard throw on concrete or asphalt screws up people
@@shiro703 I dunno, I get what you mean but there is alot of wrestling clinch work and throws in muay thai (obviously not nearly as many throws as judo)... combined with the extremely superior striking than judo (thats a no brainer in fairness) I think I'd rather know Dutch style or muay thai than judo for a street fight
@@dylanduke9963 I get you but bro the pain of being slammed on your back incacipates your for like 10 min tires straight
I was playing soccer with my friends a few years ago and tripped on some grass and fell on my back and twisted it it hurts like shit
@@shiro703 I'm not denying that getting thrown on your back hurts.......
My point was muay thai and Dutch style are way more versatile and even have throws in them too so they are MORE useful in a street fight. I think judo is useful.... but needs to be supplemented eith other martial arts, muay thai needs that far less seeing as it has punches, kicks, knees, elbows, clinchwork and throws. Judo just has throws. Like get off your little fan boy train for judo. It's great, but it's not the most versatile for a street fight.
Youre assuming you could always pull off the throws or that they land perfectly, if they don't?? You're fucked as you've no stand up ability
No 1 kick for street fight is Groin Kick, if done perfectly 80lbs guy can knockout 200+lbs guy. 100lbs guy will never KO 200+lbs guy with side kick or leg kick or any other
Before I watch, I predict that it is 5 sidekicks.
2 out of 5 ain't bad
What about a maigeri (front kick) to the chin its very quick and will probably knock somebody out and a lot of people don't know how to defend against front kicks
Personally I have trained for over 55 years in Karate, Muay Thai, Krav Maga and other styles. I love training with kicks, it is probably what attracts most people to Martial Arts.
I have also worked in the security, crowd control and body guard industry for over 40 years and had thousands of street fights.
I am yet to use a kick in a street fight which on many occasions has caused me to re-evaluate how i train...But I love the kicks so they still remain a critical part of my training and teaching.
Sensei Seth's school of punch kickery!
Heck yes
