Disclaimer: the guy had a weapon he was trying to use on me. His family would have preferred the headkick to my other option.
For sure. Also I feel like there's a Cro Cop joke to be made here.
His future DV victim would have preferred option 2.
The funny thing is you used to be a cop and would extort Americans and violate their rights for a job. You have no authority.
@@FaithRoxlmao what are you saying? He should have killed the guy for a crime he would commit in the future?

Seeing everyone work together is always great. Everyone teaches, everyone learns, ideas and opinions exchanged, it's just the best.
Couldn't agree more!
If only *EVERYTHING* worked this way! Heh
I love how Kevin asks and listens while everyone else just talks... he knows how to learn
Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Asian manners
The Jesse explanation is god tier of understanding of marial arts
Not god tier. Just experience and he listens to what he is taught. And he spent more time being taught than teaching. Unlike some of these other dudes. But remember karate sucks tho 🤔
@@sliderx1897GSP is a karate background and literally one of the greatest of UFC
@@sliderx1897but…. Side kicks don’t work tho🤔
@kiarce9206 i know right 🤣😂
@@sliderx1897so that is why he had a shiner.
Such an interesting difference here between all the Martial Art Tubers (Love all you guys so much! These are the Avengers Assemble videos I LOVE. Just missing wonderboy ;) )
Seth's explanation is a guy who lights martial arts and like going to the dojo buffet. Taking bits from here and there, like watching all the styles made into a smoothie.
Watching Mike is very much watching his years of experience in fights, not matches, but fights. No rules, no style points, no off limits, just two or more guys going at it. All real, no bells and whistles, just max damage and max protection. It ain't pretty but it would suck to be on the other end of.
Watching Jessie is like a textbook and an encyclopedia rolled into one. The technique, the nuance, the information. Amazing.
Keep the good times rolling Kevin!
Thank you!!!
Man I wish I had a group of people around me like you guys on my martial arts journey. No one ever wanted to get this technically deep with me. lol
I hope you find those people soon! In the meantime, watch our videos to be a part of it!
I feel you so much on that man. So much.
Thank you for giving love to the Crescent Kick, so many people think it’s worthless for practical application, for some reason.
I’ve always found it very useful for blocking attacks from blunt weapons and polearms.
I freaking love the comb with this 4 guys. They are awesome
Having Jesse there is like having Keanu Reeves. Beautiful people, inside and out. And crazy amount of charm and knowledge.
All of the kicks Mike shows in this video, down to the crescent headkick and the push-away sidekick is completely in-line with what my dad showed me, and what has worked in my experience. He retired from SpetzNaz after the fall of the USSR, and opened a school for diplomatic body guards in Latvia. He had the 'Master of Sport' rank in Sambo, and a lot of practical hand-to-face combat experience.
On the other hand, Sensei Seth put out a video on street fight kicks last year, and it is hilarious bullshido. Thank you, Mike.
The kick dream team! This needs to be a panel at a convention. Street v gym/dojo technique distinction is something so often overlooked. This was a great collaboration, useful and super interesting, thank you.
Man, Jesse's kicks are scary!!
He is so technical!
"Ok, class, so today we will be practicing putting just the side of your foot between the 4th and 5th rib on the right side. This is beginner level, so I will give you a full 2/10th of a second per kick and the opponent will be evading"
LOL!! Yeah man! LOL Luckily Jesse seems like a really nice guy! LOL
Kevin Lee, Sensei Seth, Icy Mike, Jesse The Karate Nerd! Such a lovely club ! 🥋😍
They're just missing Wonderboy; Sean would be cool to see more often too.
@@ComicalHealing I agree! Gotta get WB next time!
It's good to see all four of you in the same video. Great info guys! Learning something new everyday. 😄
Be like a sponge, my friend. Im soaking up all the great info here.
I like the way everyone shares their preferred techniques and demonstrates it.
Thanks Kevin for asking all the good questions and everyone chimes in with their opinions. Keep it up !
awesome to see 5 guys sharing their thoughts on the same technique but different points of view/application!
Woah! I came here for Kevin and Icy Mike, but then got Sensei Seth and Jesse the Karate Nerd, too! What a great video! Fantastic info. Thx guys.
Street fights, wearing shoes...strike with the edge of the sole of the shoe up the shin. Closest I have ever come to using a kick in a street fight and I have been training in karate for over 50 years.
I LOVE THIS!! Skilled practioners sharing knowledge and putting egos on the back burner. Well done to all.
Why do more people keep progressively popping out of thin air in the vid
😂😂
"Oh, we talking Karate kicks, well we just so happen to have JESSE ENKAMP sitting over here...even though we are nowhere near Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate!"
Love seeing youtube martial artist sharing their knowledge to know effective moves to use on street fights
Jesse's blade kick looks nasty.
Looks dangerous and awesome !
The thing I've noticed about each style is the difference between speed / timing, damage versus placement, and efficiency/ effectiveness. Some of the words are similar but slightly different. Speed is more efficient for more attacks but less effective and lower damage. Street fighters are best ended as quickly as possible.
Missed the perfect opportunity to mention how savate uses the reinforced toes to "bypass" blocks. A pointed toe into the side of the neck around a strong block is not only devastating but utterly demoralizing, even more so to fighters who are used to blocking big head kicks.
Scraping along the shin using the hardened shoe as well as snapping into ribs around body blocks all have that "what the hell is this guy capable of?" Demoralizing factor that is even more important in the street, where simply not attacking the guy anymore is a win condition in and of itself.
Excellent and informative video! Especially interesting to hear about JKD "Savate up front, muay Thai in back" leg philosophy.
This IS why we need you! I never realized that about Bruce Lee's kicks!
Oh shit! This feels like the Avengers of martial arts/self defense YT to me!
I dig that y'all attacked this from different angles from different practices. It's really cool to see what y'all bring into the conversation.
And boom.. here's an amazing video about kicking and it's whens and hows..
This IS knowledge to save and share no doubt. Great job guys!!!
Kevin is the "Everything But Karate Nerd" 😂
Question, though: Savate practitioners would have any kind of "advantage" on a street fight since they are already used to wear shoes for kicking?
I've seen on another channel that wearing shoes can change the mechanics of a kick more than we, the average people, would think of.
Yeah, shoes definitely change the way a kick feels, but it also dépends on the type of shoe. If I have minimalist shoes like Jesse Enkamp likes to wear, they have so little presence that it’s basically the same as a regular barefooted kick. Conversely, yeah a pair of combat boots or sturdy hiking boots make the foot more like a solid club, and wood-soled dress shoes or cowboy boots or the like are also pretty stiff. A running shoe can be pretty light, with a spongy toe box, but with the thick shock-absorbing sole you can count on the whole bottom of the foot or just the heel to deal plenty of damage without hurting you too much.
Take care, and kick safely!
Usually during my trainings we are barefoot, but sometimes we have to train sweeps that are too hard to do in the mat and wear our shoes on normal floor, gravel, dirt, etc. It does changes how the kick feels, you definetly can feel the weight and the momentum. Tbh, you should always train a bit with you day to day footwearing to see how much that changes and how your shoes react too when you fight. Always fun to try kicks on a slippery floor xD
@@danielfang749 Totally agree. I like Japanese styles but they always *always* train barefoot. One time I had a Karate friend and we were outside, and I said let's do some training, and he said ok wait a minute and I'll go put on my uniform. I'm like what, you don't need that, just do it.
Man, it's so cool when you guys are all in the same room
Cool idea, savate front foot but muay thai back foot, I've never thought of it like this before. Neat :)
Yeah, that’s how Sijo Bruce Lee implemented into his own style.
Incredible how in Kevin lee’s video there are all the maximum martial arts practictioner on YT 😂💪🏻
Good info, I was surprised to see the other guys (Seth and Jessie), since it’s not mentioned in the description. Very cool .
What one of my sensei:s in karate has mentioned are that it is best to avoid kicking in a streetfight because you will get really tired really fast.
Why are you getting in street fights?
I've noticed that many teachers and students think that self defense and street fighting are the same thing. The Law sure doesn't think so.
A self defense situation is when you get attacked. You don't want to get attacked, and you are not agreeing to be attacked. But a street fight means that both of you are agreeing to fight, it is a mutual decision to fight. Self defense is about getting home safely. Street fighting is risking not getting home at all.
@@ambulocetusnatanswhen martial arts guys are saying street fight they usually mean ANY fight that is not a sanctioned sport fight or a martial arts match. So in their definition it includes some drunk guy taking a swing at you, the guy you cut off in traffic trying a flying arm bar on you in the Walmart parking lot, etc.
@@kevinmurphy5878
If you don't think I know what I'm talking about, an easy way to find out is to ask a cop the difference between a fight and a self defense situation. I think you will agree that a cop knows more about that than either of us.
icy mike is a real street fight instructor
My instinctual issue with not pivoting on the round kick is the risk to your knee.
I freakin' love these collabs! What a great video!
I like to land with the foot for leg kicks because you maximize length. Never worried before about someone checking moving backwards so usually a check shortens the range enough that the check lands on the shin.
Leg kick with shin if you want to punch or aren't worried about being punched, land with foot if you don't want to punch or be punched
I think they over sell how much base leg foot traction effects kicks. The friction on the base foot can be regulated by raising your weight up to decrease the resistance from friction. It can take a few kicks to dial that in though.
Luv these Collabs with these people l!!!!!
I learned some sick shit from Sensei Seth, he very sneaky dude also from Jesses too. Also, Kevin shows some interesting stuff too. For most of these that I watch, I will be taking notes in my notebook that I have for self-defense. I know in traditional karate they condition by standing or stomping on your blade of the foot to have effective side kicks and stuff. Kevin also forgot to mention JKD has the kicks too.
I love Kevin, I feel like sometimes people take liberties though and I hope he doesn’t get hurt 😞
I did not even see Jesse the karate NERD stand in there until I walked into frame...are we sure he's not a ninja? 😂
Jean-Charles Skarbowsky just told in a recent video that he always land his kicks with the foot. And he's a Muay Thai legend.
Just my two cents, but you might want to take a legend's advice with a grain of salt, more than a really good amateur or a middle of the road pro, if you're starting out. The first thing that comes to mind is strikers like Ali, McGregor, Shannon Briggs, Alex Pereira, who wing punches from the hip and get a power and unpredictability boost out of it because they have good enough range control to do it. Somebody who doesn't have years of experience would not want to model their style after guys like that. Leg kicking with the foot could be like that. Or am I missing the point? Are you just talking about head kicks
Adding a martial arts youtuber every camera pan. Haha! Nice!
When Jesse participates in the self-defense tournament, he's gonna hurt somebody.
for me i find hitting with the ball of the foot for the front and roundhouse to be more piercing punishment on impact
low kicks for the win!
I agree!!!
the gang is back together
I lived long enough to see Mike using side kicks casually...
Insightful and entertaining ❤ enjoyed this video alot
These guys should go on the road and give seminars. Get a promoter and sell tickets. They could easily charge $500 a head and sell out.
how randomly the karate nerd sits in the back smiling =)
People don't often think about that side of self defense fighting, they usually go for:"this martial arts is better for this, and so is this martial arts." Not addressing the moves that aren't useful for self defense in those martial arts.
I agree you don’t have too kick someone that hard with steel toe boots 🥾 too make them reconsider their actions.
This is not the way to use kicking practically or safely in a fight. Having studied and practiced with people that were forced to use violence regularly due to their profession I can’t assure you, pay attention to your Wing Chun teacher, and if you study it, the kicking taught by your fma teacher. Learn stomps and knee knocks. A kick is a large lever that exposes your ankle, knee, groin, and hip to destruction. I have twenty years of training in boxing, kick boxing and grappling, I don’t confuse them for combatives.
Great video!
Thank you!!
Adams-Lee-Enkamp, your friendly neighborhood senseis
Alex Pereira throws low kicks (sometimes high kicks too but less often) with no pivot of the front foot and on a less wide arch. It has very little telegraph and commitment
Hey dudes, I'm subscribed to y'all for like the last 7 years and since y'all finally met (hurray) I keep asking myself this one question again and again:
Why no sparrring videos???
Is this just the Avengers but for TH-cam martial artists? []
I love it! Lol
now I have all you guys on one channel :)
Thanks grandmas ain't escaping this time.
I agree about not needing to throw 100 percent. Seems like you also decrease the chances of a broken foot.
POV: me and the boys after the session ends
Dope video bro! 👍
Thanks bro!
Slightly angle a front kick to aim straight for the jaw, very sneaky
💯💯🔥🔥🔥
I wish I also have a Martial arts friends
Kick like you are breaking 5 boards. One shot, one kill
Holy Fuck! There is a ton of good info in this video.
💯💯💯
Great video, man. Would you recommend knees in a street fight?
LOL I could have sworn Mike said he head kicked someone when he was attacked as a cop... lol...
He did... but it was a soccer kick. The guy was on the ground when he did it.
Yeah if you're in a fight as a cop it's not going to look like two guys standing up facing each other like they would in a ring.
i didnt know jessie and seth went to that gym
I’m won’t hesitate to say maybe this is how ancient masters used to test or discus their arts
Might work for most opponents that are not trained. Trouble is, "on the street", you don't know who is trained, and who is not. Advanced skills, as you show, are of little use when fighting for your life. Fighting for one's life has little or nothing to do with technical, academic skills.
That was cool
I'm not a big fan of the crescent kick.
I have two favorite kicks for self-defense/street fighting...
1) The rear leg push kick to the gut. Its a rear teep in Muay Thai. In Greek pankration its called the gastrizein, etc. Every art has it. Great for making space. Great for knockdowns.Great for kicking armored combatants. Works both as an interception or a finisher.
2) Oblique kick to the knee. Works from any range. I especially like it from clinch so its actually more like stomping down on the knee as much as its a kick. Also works nice as an interception. Definitely big in Wing Chun.
This is how to kick on the Street :
Proceed to show 4 guys in GI's and bare feet standing on mats
avoid kicks above the waist in a streetfight, never want to go to the ground incase they have friends.
Jesse is emergency... 😅😅
Aces!!!
How long has Seth been sitting there
Bruce lee as far as we know IS an actor tho. A good martial artist too, but we never seen him fight
I’ve never understood why people do things differently for the steet than how they’ve trained. If you are doing a certain thing in all of your sparring and you know what your A-game is, why would you completely change everything when it matters most to a set of skills you haven’t tested as much?
Que cansino el sensei
That thumbnail looks anime af
Here is Gabriel Vega's reason for NOT using the side of foot to hit. th-cam.com/video/aHDIo8MplxU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z-bi8BNZXPvIoxSd
Think about it. The bones on the side of the foot are thin bones. The heel is MUCH a harder. Of course, in the street, your shoes would protect your foot.
I am not gonna pretend to be a better fighter than Varga because I am not, but he just doesn't know how to use those techniques firstly because a lot of them are mostly pain compliance attacks which is totally irrelevant for knockout sports like the one's he practices.
@@cahallo5964 First, I wouldn’t rely on pain compliance techniques, period, unless they are used to move you a better position. Second, I was referring to the discussion on using the blade of the foot vs the the heel or entire sole for side kick.
@@edwhlam yeah I saw the video he said it was useless never to be used and I don't agree
Gabriel is wrong. The blade of the foot is not the whole edge of the foot, it is the edge of the heel.
Striking with the edge of the heel means you are still using that large, solid structure of the heel to strike with and not putting the small bones of your foot in danger.
@@tjl4688 Then say “heal” when striking with the heal is what was meant.
That ended too sudden.
In a Street Fight, be dirty as you want. Be alive at the end of the day.
When i was a kid, the best kick you can do in a street fight is a Front Kick.. I got in a fight when i was 9 and like 2 teens (one dude and one stud lesbian) are trying to jump me.. Now, me a Green belter in Kyokushin Karate, used what i know and front kick really worked then elbows and eye gouge for sure when he hit the ground after that front kick (I grew up with a lot of Martial Art films and UFC, Pride, K-1 so i really used what i know).. I didn't really care about the other teen punching me while i pounded his boy in the ground cause i sorta blacked out and i didn't feel anything at that point.
👍
interesting no wonder JKD guys get destroyed by Muay Thai kicks in matches(they go into side stance throwing side kicks, meanwhile Mauy Thai will trying to chop that leg). I'm mocking JKD I love JKD because it does focus on self-defense. And I love savete kicks and stuff. I'm a huge kickboxing nerd I love all things that have to do with stand-up striking.
Bruce Lee also learned Northern style Kung Fu and Prey Mantis. Why wasn't Jesse saying anything? He is the karate nerd
Super Friends!
💯💯💯
do they all live in the same place? or is this a travel collab
Soccer kicks are too important in fighting to ban in sport combat
Usually if they ban something in sport it's because it's some form of "too good."
@@PHIplaytestingSee also: headbutts
Yeah you DEFINITELY wanna use your shin against someone's leg LOL I was sparring with my friend once and we were both having a good time, wasn't too crazy or too soft, so I put a little extra heat on one of my kicks and I broke my foot over her thigh LOL beginner mistake
Hey there
This is misinformation regarding the rear leg “mimicking” Muay Thai in Bruce Lee’s JKD.
Bruce Lee wasn’t fond of Muay Thai. You can google his notes on what he thought about it. He thought it was overly telegraphic for one.
He didn’t adopt anything from Muay Thai. Savate though, he did experiment with it.
But again, JKD is its own thing. It’s not a blend of different “arts”
You can’t stick everything on a pizza and hope it’s going to taste good. Likewise, you can’t mix a bunch of different arts that are structurally different, with different body mechanics and footwork and hope by some miracle you can blend it all together when the shit hits the fan and somehow apply it.
Mixing things sounds good. But when it comes down to practicality and being able to effectively use something to defend yourself it’s not all that functional.
ФСБ
Bruce Lee loved Savate, but he took nothing from Muay Thai. His kicks are a combination of savate and taekwondo.
I have a question, how many of you have actually been in street fights? i'm not asking your subs, i'm asking the guys in the video.
Well, Icy Mike was a police officer - he worked in multiple roles in his career, including SWAT and later as an instructor for SWAT units. He has talked on his channel about the inevitable conflicts that come when someone tries to resist arrest or sees another reason to escalate to violence.
The others in the video, I don’t know for sure but I think not. Seth did participate in the first season of the Ultimate Self Defence Championship, however, and Jesse with his extensive experience in Okinawan kobudo and karate will be a participant in its upcoming second season. Seth has also done scenario work with the dedicated self-defence scenario rooms at Ryan Hoover’s Fit to Fight gym, and Mike has been there multiple times for events and video filming as well.
thanks for the info
