We love you master
I train in Muay Thai but have always wanted to learn the TKD sidekick to add into my arsenal. This tutorial has been most insightful and I thank you for that.
Thank you i do Muay Thaï and Aikido and i really respect all martial arts and boxing styles i can tell you have a really great level in your art just looking at how you are moving
***** I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
GingerNinjaTrickster
Sorry to butt in here.
Have you ever considered doing another material art to the same level as what you have with Taekwondo such as BJJ or wrestling so as to add to you fight game.
If you combined Wonderland with say a grappling art I have no doubt that you would have a lethal combination there.
(my back ground is boxing, wrestling and Judo.)
bighands69 I already do several arts. Check out my samplers and you will see some of them creep in, especially the grappling dummy, versys and allstike ones :)
What martial arts are stronger?
broly standbyme, If you mean “What are the strongest martial arts?” Then I got you. No martial art is stronger than the other(usually) because everyone has preferred techniques, different professions, etc. I’m not saying that a TKD black belt can go out in the street and beat a Jujitsu black belt because that would be a little unrealistic, do to the ground combat exp. the jujitsu practitioner has. But, people can utilize a martial art to be more effective by twisting the techniques a bit.
That’s my conclusion! I hope it served you well😊
This is a favourite kick of mine, and I use it pretty successfully in TKD sparring by feigning an abdomen-level side kick, before releasing a higher side kick to the head (learned it by watching Donnie Yen). Of course, gotta control the amount of power used.
I just know that the side kick is a pretty devastating one, but this vid helped me to better understand its usage and purpose. You make TKD look like science, and have helped me appreciate it better.
Continue the great work!
+Mirza Sutresno Cool and Thank you for your support :)
Which Donnie yen fight was it? I wanna see lol
It's already up and I cover standing, jumping of two feet, flying, etc. Type in 'Taekwondo Jump Side Kick Tutorial' and it will come up or look through my 'Kicking Tutorials' playlist. Good luck :)
I'm glad that you find them helpful :) I partly made them for people that end up in your circumstances so i'm happy that you can still train and learn. Good luck with your future training my friend :)
Sensei, you have a very dangerous sidekick your technique is great I enjoyed this video, thank you.
I myself practice WTF Taekwondo for about 21 years now, and I enjoy it when fellow Martial Artist knows how to explain their moves the way they supposed to be, as you do. Also like that you keep respect on both ITF and WTF in your comments. As both Taekwondo styles got their origin starting point at one place in time.
Then there are lots of ITF and WTF sabums who explain it just as you do, great job keep it up.
Very impressive form. I don't know a thing about martial arts or unarmed fighting, but that's a beautiful kick.
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
I've studied martial arts for 15 years, people suppress the need of a sidekick in martial arts, you've described the Sidekick basics better than anyone else I know...keep up the good work
+Elijah Noles I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
i start learning two months ago i am training everyday my home how long do i need to make a high kick
Awesome! Flexibility and balance. Good luck :)
Me too
Where are u now I started a month ago
All I can tell you is be very patient. Do a little every day and don’t expect to be a ninja overnight. It is a journey! Be patient.
You've got INSANE technique. From a teaching perspective, watch this and note how often you use the word "obviously". It's both a speaking crutch, and to the beginner, the things you point out are not obvious. They are new and specific. Keep at it!
Can u please make tutorials on punches and other strikes?
About 9 years and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
you are really good!!
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
When I was younger I somehow made it to a junior level of black belt but ended up dropping out afterwards. After watching this I'm really tempted to start again from scratch. Serious respect for you to make it so such amazing technique. Brings me back to the days of watching my old instructor.
Thanks for making this video, I'm off to watch more hahaha.
Cool and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Why would someone dislike this video
becausw theyre a troll most likely. this video is amaizing!
Because his foot never turns "180 degrees" But that's just conjecture, I think this is a great video
those are the guys from other channel :D :P
Angel Thekiller because the fell...
No problem :) Instructors teach differently and people also learn things better in different ways so i'm happy that my way helped you. Good luck with your training :)
eres el mejor en patadas
your videos are the best about martial arts in the whole web....i practice taekwondo for 10 years now, u truly the best i have ever seen! ;)
Hey GNT big fan here! I can't afford classes for TKD but I really really want to learn. Is home training good enough to learn tkd?
I guess it's the only option you have with what you said.
ThePug PizzaParty
Andy Sykes Foster Buy yourself a heavy bag, practice the kicks and punches and perfect them, learn some useful combos, and you’ll be good
I am so so happy I found your channel! I trained in ITF Taekwondo for many years growing up, and I'm very glad it was my first martial art. I got my 1st Dan Black and was actively pursuing my 2nd Dan for years before a very unfortunate incident forced my instructor to close the school. You teach in a similar manner that he did, very detailed and step by step. I then trained MMA for years and no one at my gym could kick as hard as me except for the muay thai instructor haha. I'm in my early 30s now and still have the muscle memory from all those years of repetitive training. Anyway, great channel and so awesome to see quality, legit ITF TKD. It's ALL WTF where I live and has been for a decade :(
Thank you for sharing your story and I appreciate your support. Thank you :)
It's great that you have started back and that you are enjoying your training. Keep it up and good luck :)
my leg cant go that far... any help or stretches that can help me?
+Miguel Guerra same here
+Miguel Guerra Start low and build up, I have stretching tutorials that will help so check them out and good luck :)
GingerNinjaTrickster ok. Thanks for the tip!
Miguel Guerra No problem :)
Vusal Mehdiyev Thank you :)
I really like your tutorials. I've been training for 7 months already, I stopped in the because we can't afford to train in a gym and my parents doesn't support me. So, I decided to train myself with advanced kicks by watching tutorial videos here on youtube. I can do a perfect side kick now, thanks to you. Kicking the air kinda sucks though haha.
Im watching this to get revenge on my bully
lol
guitar j200 im already learning
GingerNinjaTrickster she and her friends beat me up
Trent W well , she beated me up 4 times and she wont stop so its time , when she'sgonna beat me up again i can kick her in the face , LoL , Oh! Awhile ago I've placed a bucket of slime mixed with A LOT OF GLUE at the top of the locker SHE OPENED IT THEN SHE was like : MY HAIR!O MY GOD IM SLIMY! She cried and i was never caught cause i was too early LoL
XxAna MagcalcalxX lol you're so gonna get your ass kicked trying to do this
Thank you :) I like to explain things the best i can and not be ignorant that other styles and more modern martial arts might do the kick a little differently or from a different stance. This is one of the main reasons i started doing tutorials because i thought people could get a better understanding and find the kick a lot easier to do if i elaborated on what others were teaching. Thank you again :)
I wonder how many times he said obviously :p
A lot lol It was my filler word. Got rid of it now lol
GingerNinjaTrickster LOL
85
101 times !!!
Glad you liked the tutorial. I will make one soon, just takes a while with peoples busy schedules and then some have to be available at the same time which is a nightmare but i will do one definitely :) I love the doboks too. Thank you :)
Just want to thank you again for these kicking tutorials! My friends and I watch your videos religiously and have used many of the tips in our training to improve our techniques.
Thank you, thank you! Your expertise is invaluable.
Even though I practice this kick daily it's always good to come back to this video because there is always a detail or two that I keep missing. Again solid work GNT. :)
Octaslash08 Cool and thank you :)
Thank you. It is not that difficult if someone is actually there because you can feed off them or see the mistakes they are making but it is to video so an entire audience can understand a technique :)
Rewatching old videos makes me notice that I have been subscribing to GNT for almost 5 years! Since I was just in Karate class before I reached Black, Aaron's videos improved my kicks significantly. Now I'm starting TKD white belt and everyone is asking how the hell my kicks are like black belt?
GNT is why, bitches.
Haha Glad I could help and thank you for your continued support :)
I think most people would agree with you :) I'm glad that the tutorial helped and that you have improved. Well done and good luck with your future training :)
OMG! Thank you! I needed this. I missed a class and I was having trouble but now not anymore thanks to you:)
No problem, i'm glad I could help :)
Really appreciate you saying that and good luck with your future training :)
Was waiting for someone to notice lol This was one of my first tutorials and i realised that i liked to use that word a lot. Try to limit as much as possible now and barely say it in my later tutorials obviously lol
I'm glad it helped :) Yes, it's in my kicking tutorials playlist on my channel. Good luck :)
I've just started Tae Kwon-do and I'm really glad I found this video. Definitely hitting that subscribe button and the basic stretching video is my new best friend.
That's great. I have done some Muay Thai myself and i enjoy it a lot. I have trained with Kru Tony Moore and Sandy Holt. Anyways, glad you found this tutorial useful and good luck with your training :)
I'm glad it helped and good luck with your future training :)
Glad that you think so and i'm glad it helped. Good luck with your future training :)
Just want to say I have my 3 kids(6,8,10) watching your videos, the all have insane flexibility and your tips are helping them understand what it takes to improve their kicking techniques. Great job!!
Just wanted to say, outstanding tutorials mate, thanks a lot! Being able to see everything step-by-step, in slow motion, from the side, and in an actual sparring situation makes everything much clearer! I do quite a lot of sports but want to seriously work on my balance, agility and leg flexibility and taekwondo looks like just the ticket. When I start doing it, I'll be sure to revisit these tutorials a few times again, they really are excellent! P.S. you kick like lightning xD .
Great job,bloke.
My instructor told me that my sidekick was slightly below average,so I learn to improve my sidekick.
+Daniel Eu Thank you and good luck :)
Thank you :) Hook kick and spin hook kick is definitely on my list of tutorials to do. Back kick is a little further down my list. Just need time and they will be up i promise :)
Thank you :) I'm glad you found the tutorial easy to follow and appreciate your blessings. I will do my best to and good luck with your future training my friend :)
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's great! The basics are obviously the most efficient to use but if you are looking for some realistic flash moves to try then i'd say spin back kick or hook kick, jump versions of those too and 360 roundhouse is probably the most flash i'd go in K1. Good luck :)
Thanks for this tutorial. Very explicit and easy to follow. I have been following several of your tutorials and have helped me a lot.
No problem :) I'm glad you thought so and that I could help. Good luck with your training :)
I'm glad that it helped and good luck with your future training :)
Thank you very much :) I'm glad that they helped. Good luck with your future training :)
I'm glad you think that and i really appreciate the support. Thank you :)
Excellent detailed video. I like how you explain the target areas and all applications and different variations. Most other videos are just; do this, then that, then this. They are very mechanical and don't explain the how's, why's, and when's. Great job!
My instructor is Master Gary Gassor VII Degree :) It depends on the purpose of the kick. For speed you can lift the knee up straight and turn the leg as you are making the side kick and for power you bring it around and into your chest to create more momentum. Hope that helps and good luck :)
It was the best and most detailed video on side kick, hats off man.
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
I'm glad the tutorial has helped and good luck with your training :)
Thank you :) I already worked that out lol This was one of my first tutorials and they weren't planned so it was kind of a gap filler/safe word. If you watch my more recent tutorials you will see that they are planned and structured a lot better with less obviously's lol
That's great! I'm glad they are helping and I appreciate your support :)
GingerNinjaTrickster's form is impeccable!
No problem. Yea, i will get around to it soon. Just have so many tutorials to make so it's just deciding which ones to do first but it will be done. Good luck for now :)
No problem and that's great :)
I'm glad you found it helpful and there are several methods of doing a side kick :)
No problem and good luck with your training :)
well done, a great tutorial and a pleasure to see compared to many others on youtube. Nice tips and sensible.... after 29yrs involvement in TKD I still focus on my basics daily, and it is said that the quality of one's TKD can be seen in one's sidekick. Congratulations.
The best online fighting or kicking tutorial.
Thank you for the video, it's very helpful.
+ASHWINI KUMAR I'm glad you liked it :)
Look at that Form! best form i've seen in a while!
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Appreciate you saying that and thank you for you appreciation :)
Thanks so much for this. My little one has recently started ATA TKD, in their "Tigers" program (he's 5). I promised to help him practice at home between lessons, and it's good to have a resource that clearly explains the moves so that I can coach him properly (and learn a few things myself as well, my training is in another form and a couple decades rusty).
+Mandy Urbont No problem, i'm glad that I could help :)
Hey bro really good tutorials! For someone who just started taekwondo and in need of guidance this is gold. Thanks from Singapore!
+birder1234 I'm glad you find them helpful and good luck with your training :)
Thank you :) Glad you liked it and no problem :)
Thank you. Means a lot as it is one of my favorite kicks :)
dude, great videos, i love martial arts like you, i am training in taekwondo 5 Years ++
and i am watching sometimes some of your videos for tips, thanks :)
No problem. I'm glad that you think they are helpful and thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated :)
The stretching videos i have made will help get you the flexibility to kick high. But leg strength, muscular endurance and dynamic flexibility comes into play too. I will be making a tutorial on the other aspects soon. Keep working hard and practice your stretching for now and you should get closer or even do the side kick high section. Good luck :)
Fantastic video mate. Love the progressive format you've used for this course.
Got a few kicks in mind before making that one but i will be getting to it soon :)
I'm glad you feel that way and i'm happy to help. Thank you :)
It's just practice :)
A little hip flexibility yea but other factors also come into play. Balance,speed and not swinging the leg down and back up to get to the hook kick so a good chamber is vital. I'm sure you will get it. Good luck my friend :)
I don’t even learn this at my TKD studio. Embarrassing that I have to learn it from a TH-cam video. Awesome video sir.
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's great, i'm glad the tutorial helped :)
Thank you :) I train in Newport, South Wales.
He is and he happens to be a great dad too:)
Omg thank you so much!! I'm yellow belt at mugendo and I couldn't do a decent sidekick before watching this !! :)
No problem and i'm glad the video helped :)
No problem :) I'm glad you found it helpful and good luck :)
I'm glad that you think that. Thank you :) The only rivalry should be against oneself as there is no superior martial art so I always keep an open mind. learn from and respect different styles :)
Thank you and i will do my best :)
No problem :) I'm glad you find them helpful and i appreciate your support. Thank you :)
Thank you, i'm glad you like them and cheers :) Would love to go there some day, looks beautiful :)
Love your videos brother. I always tell my students you can tell a lot about a TKD practitioner from their side kick...
Great overview of how the sidekick can be performed and the devastating effects if performed correctly. Please post a video tutorial that shows how to develop this kick to the level you demonstrate. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Very good tutorial, can't think of any other aspect of the side kick I would cover, thanks for making this!
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you and no problem :)
I will :)
Thank you :) I do but there are quite a lot of methods, i will be making a stretching video soon that will help.
I'm glad you think that and thank you for your appreciation. Good luck with your training :)
They both have their uses in different situations. I prefer the blade mainly due to surface area and the chances of connecting is therefore greater but that's me :)
Thank you for your very detailed tutorial. I would have like to see you follow through several times with the Side Kick at the very end of your video, putting everything you just taught together. Thank you!
No problem and you can always see that in my samplers :) Good luck with your training :)
No problem and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
I'm glad you think so and good luck with your training :)
Wonderful tutorial - thank you! You covered some excellent tips I've never had taught to me in almost 2 years of taekwon-do training.
I'm glad you liked the tutorial and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Your tutorials are helping me improve my Taekwondo, thanks
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
That would depend on the situation. If your being aggressive i recommend the outward so you don't get caught on your way in and if it's a counter you can shift your body out of the way and make the inward downward kick. I say that in the tutorial i think. Yea, i teach and it is my father's school :)
Amazing skill and effort young Gassor! Really appreciate your posting of this martial arts video clip. Your instructions are very easy to follow making the mechanics of the kick easy to grasp in spite of the difficulty of the whole drill. Hope you always keep in good health and shape to keep spreading your knowledge of this beautiful discipline. Thanks a lot from Venezuela, South America.
Yea, all my links are on my channel in the about section :) I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
Maybe in the future. Good luck with your training :)
Another awesome video, thanks for your contribution to working on ITF techniques!
