You could easily get timed and countered, miss and hurt your own leg, they could eat the first few and keep powering, especially a bigger opponent. Imo it's front kick to the leg over a low kick
How is it risky? Have any of you ever caught one? I use it all the time in sparring, mma and kickboxing and what people do if they see it, is step back and then we continue. If you can't use a technique it doesn't mean people who have trained it a lot and understand the timing can't throw it either.
@@SkepticalMantisCHANNEL10 Shin may disable yourself a bit too, it would also impacted your ability to run full speed, so above the knee kicks would be better, little risk, huge pain and disables their leg for sure if their untrained.
I remember my brother telling me, this kid when we were in high school , mid 90s, some bully was trying to bullying him and he straight jump spinning back kick like you do in the video and hit him right on the liver area. No one mess with him for the entirely of high school. Kicks works you just need set up and timing and most importantly, commit !!
The 5 blackbelts I personally watched lose bad in street fights against non trained ppl all lost throwing a round house. Leg got caught and they got taken down
@@Slycoopdid they try to chop the leg or do a high kick? also if you’re trained it would be a mistake to not fake initially because most people dont anticipate a fake
I think roundhouses below the chest, especially calf and leg kicks are also great for self defense, because we all remember the first time we got leg kicked lol
Oblique kicks, groin kicks, thigh kicks, and shin kicks are actually quiet effective, even a sloppy front kick to the face can be quiet effective and hard to block
Front kick is for pushing people, low kick is for chopping them down like a tree, and side kick is for punishing them when they back off and try to get a run at you. But what’s most important is that you practice these techniques during sparring or a tournament fight so that you can get a flow going.
Low kick or side kick are the best in my opinion, side kick has worked for me especially against bigger people so I’d recommend either a low kick or side kick also because most people have never felt a low kick or damage to their legs so it’s unexpected and it hurts them like hell
Side kick is what I would go with. I played around with it and even though I’m not the best at it and never really practice it, but can do it. It’s just as fast as a jab when tested with a friend from a standing position. Front kick/push kick, don’t know if they are considered the same thing but different names, just doesn’t feel are powerful or fast for me. Maybe it has to do with it being able to prop yourself to the side and kick than it is to raise your leg up and thrust.
I do a leading hook kick... And it fairly works... I have Hook, straight, Side, and reverse hook kick... These simple kicks fairly work but you also got to have that natural instinct in fighting
Side kicks are great for getting your opponent away so that you can get away. A roundhouse or side kick to the knee is a great way to keep them from following you
Knowing in street fights yes there is a lot of views of throwing kicks in them but honestly if your trained and you know what your doing a kick can be the deadliest weapon but it’s about how you execute it. That or just not fight at all because you are trained as a deadly weapon so it’s best to keep restraint until the right time 🔥
Me as a muay thai practicioner i might be a bit biased (i also somewhat know alot of karate kicks, but im not great at them) i would say that the roundhouse would be the best for keeping distance.
YYYEEESSSS, front kick RUUULLLEESSS Simple but powerful, no one gonna expect a nice strong kick to the stomach or lower hanging ribs. Great short Nate 👍
Honestly, I've been training on pavement for several years now (my teacher doesn't have a gym, so we just spar outside), and I've lost ballance far fewer times than when I trained on a mat. Then again, we mostly do kickboxing-style sparring, so we hardly ever catch kicks or try to sweep our opponent, so this might be a factor
people who have train a long time have insane sense of balance when kicking. I don't understand why people think it doesn't work in real fight on the streets. a middle kick from someone that trained years would break an untrained guy's rib easy. a back kick full powered could send someoen to the er with a lot of damage. no don't do head kicks I got in trouble for that... I thought the guy wasn't gonna wake up. low kick of a trained guy vs untrained target is easy knee dislocation if you hit hard enough on the right spot.
Push-kick is effective, but I'd say it's quite easy to be catched and someone could pull then and put you on the ground. Obviuoisly, everything depends on the situation and circumstances.
The low kick and teep is probably the only kicks you ever really wanna use in a street fight hard to read and hard to catch even if you do see it coming
Im 9 yrs old and this is literally my move set 1: Choke 2:Scratch (Only if you got yourself in a situation which you cant escape) 3:Tackle 4:Spamming Punches 5:Uppercut 6:High Kick
tbh a strong kick from the side onto the leg (either bottom or top part idk) or into the kidney sounds more lethal than the front kick but not as much as the back kick may seem
Personally I think a purring kick ( type of low kick) is best since your smashing your shoes into there shin and can still keep your eyes on the attacker.
Front snap kick thrown with the lead leg it’s not the strongest kick but it’s fast and surprising enough to tip control of the engagement in your favour
Well, looks like this dude's giving us tips on how to kick butt in a street fight. Thanks for the heads-up, now I can upgrade my self-defense game from "flailing arms" to "semi-coordinated kicks." Appreciate it, Sensei!
The best one and only knockout kick I've ever connected with is the upward front kick in my opinion. You do a 1-2 combo punch then throw up a guard while leaping backwards, leaning forwards on your backfoot, and kicking up to the jaw as your oponent moves in to strike. You can throw in a hook feignt to distract them, keeping them looking up, as you strike from below. Make sure you have good strong knees or you will hurt yourself. You need to leap backwards like 2-4 feet varrying on the mobility of your opponent. It even works on people who love takedowns. It's a crane style technique. Kung fu is very useful if you mix it with other martial arts.
Front kick, round kick, and the side kick would all work on a street fight. You can all throw them low, and they are not as risky as a hook kick or a spin kick. The front kick a short but strong strike, the side kick is a powerful kick or can create distance, and the round kick can swipe someone’s legs and do some good damage to the ribs. A back kick or a spinning back kick can end a fight but the reason you shouldn’t throw it is because for a split second you can’t see your target and you can miss. Or lose your balance.
like many others are saying, the easiest and id say safest one to do is the leg kick. in sparring i throw many kicks and i get my push kicks and anything above the waist caught every now and then but the leg kick lands every single time and even with little effort and me pulling it, it still deals damage and effects them. Leg kick always!
For me i would be the round kick it won't break the persons whole body nor paralyze them it may break their ribs but they won't die and also it's easy to do, it's fast overall and your also not looking away from the person but everyone knows the best kick for self defense is to run away 😂
Thanks for introducing the kick and explaining the use for it. Today I had a walk at the beach. It was quite chill and yet warm enough to have a walk or jog. Some people were training. One man in particular was practicising kicking. It was beautiful to see. I still sometimes consider to start training to improve myself and potentially reduce social anxiety.
Train anyway it’s great for mental focus and physical fitness not to mention it’s the gateway drug to arguing about side kicks vs round kicks on the internet
And remember to return your leg The speed of contact doesn't really matter if you're knocking them down. The speed backwards matters because that stops them grabbing onto you.
I think almost all kicks are effective. If done properly with the correct tempo of power and speed timing. They can be way more deadly then any punch. Which is why, i fear kicks more then punches.
THIS IS SPARTA!!! No but seriously, the back kick and front one are great usage of street fights as it provides distance between you and your opponent.
only use back kick if they are moving towards you. (like throwing a jab or reverse punch) if they are standing still, they can move out of the way and attack you from behind.
Any leg kick is the best kick in a street fight, it’s the easiest costing little mobility, the calf kick is painful if you hit it in the same spot 2 or 3 times with moderate power they will go down or start to lose mobility then you can just take them down
Hey im a 16 year old, skinny fat, 80kgs, 175 cm. I wanna loose weight and i think that martial arts is a good cardio, sir please recommend me the best, effective in street fights and a aestheticly pleasing combination of martial arts please
Id much rather go for a teep to the thigh or knee or a low kick, since the possibility of getting your legs caught is a higher possibility for a front kick
I'd say the oblique kick is the best one if you really have to use your legs,it doesn't really need great athleticism and it's easy to pull off (like a front kick), plus you'll have that man limping for the rest of his life
The low kick
If you are in a street fight and somebody hits you in the legs, apologize and leave while you can
Exactly a calf kick is perfect for street fights, people don’t expect that in a fight and they add up quickly
You could easily get timed and countered, miss and hurt your own leg, they could eat the first few and keep powering, especially a bigger opponent. Imo it's front kick to the leg over a low kick
the snap kick to the balls
Oblique kick
@@gowiththeflow363there not that easy to stop and if you are well conditioned most people can't even take one.
bro spinning back kick would break someones ribs 💀
More risk, but yea... just do it after the front kick. Use it as a softening blow.
Too risky example your spinning and he just move a step back and nails you but if you land it K.O
Too risky, someone can just catch your leg and throw you down
How is it risky? Have any of you ever caught one? I use it all the time in sparring, mma and kickboxing and what people do if they see it, is step back and then we continue. If you can't use a technique it doesn't mean people who have trained it a lot and understand the timing can't throw it either.
@@eagleflight2627 i couldnt agree more LOL
Leg kick. 🗿

High risk high reward. I respek that
Low kick, a Muay Thai classic
@@nekozaemon3803 its no risk giant reward, even better
Yes that works too👊
Low kicks aren't as effective as people think. They are good for wearing people out, but they're not quick fight finishers.
I agree 100% ...but you can always follow up with jump back kick or low kick if you get'em good. "Street fighters" never really see that shit coming.
Yes that’s true👍
Clearly Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku is the best self defense kick. Why make it simple and effective when we can make it magical?
@@TopLobHELICOPTER HELICOPTER
Leg kicks can be a game-changer in a fight. Just watch out for those counterattacks.
You here also 😂😂😂
as a kick boxing user, i can confirm that spamming low kicks can make your opponent unable to walk again
What do u think about a low front kick to the shin? It's not generally practiced in barefoot martial arts, but shoes make it a nasty technique IMO.
As a Tekken player, I agree.
@@SkepticalMantisCHANNEL10 Shin may disable yourself a bit too, it would also impacted your ability to run full speed, so above the knee kicks would be better, little risk, huge pain and disables their leg for sure if their untrained.
@@childcannibalism5080 I meant a low front kick to the shin, landing with the tip of the shoe.
Spamming low kicks makes a trained opponent unable to walk again. A single lowkick might make an untrained opponent unable to walk properly lol
Side kick to the knee, straight on. Best kick most of the time in a street encounter.
Yeah, agree for the most part, but the knee is a small target, easy to miss or glance off it.
@@MojoHaiku only if you don’t know how to kick.
Is that you, Stephen Seagal?@@stephenlee1059
oblique kick???
@@Skroopzyeah
I agree because you can use front kicks from any postition in any type of terrain and it does not permanently damage people.
Best way to win at a steet fight is have the element of advantage, if you land one clean blow the fight is over with that shock factor.
Surprise
Muay thai people like me watching this 😶😶😶😶😵💫

I agree. A friend did this to me and followed up with an uppercut. The back kick is super sick too.
Side kick is what I would go with. I played around with it and even though I’m not the best at it and never really practice it, but can do it. It’s just as fast as a jab when tested with a friend from a standing position.

Fast and powerful low kick.
👍👍
Side kick to the knee has always worked for me. Most needed surgery after that.
A side kick used offensively or defensively is most useful if you had to pick just one kick.
Back-Kick is my favorite ❤
The back kick is nice 👌
Low kicks are effective they are fast enough
For sure👍
Kicking the ground when you run away to avoid a fight 🏃♂️
Push-kick is effective, but I'd say it's quite easy to be catched and someone could pull then and put you on the ground. Obviuoisly, everything depends on the situation and circumstances.

either an oblique kick or just calf kick imo if youve felt a calf kick before you know how bad it feels
Finally we think the same practical kick bro thats why i watch your vids🎉
Leg kicks seem pretty effective
There are no rules in a street fight, balls kick
The front kick or the teep is more of a way to create distance rather than for offense imo but it still can do some damage
People gotta admit stuff.
It’s not the kick, it’s the kicker.
Sweep kicks those are really cool and good karate low kicks 🦵🏻

Funny. The front thrust kick has been a staple in my training for decades. Throwing weights on your ankles and just practicing.
The front kick is good for creating distance,knock back the agressor and get out of there if you can
Low, front, high/roundhouse
tbh a strong kick from the side onto the leg (either bottom or top part idk) or into the kidney sounds more lethal than the front kick but not as much as the back kick may seem

I agree with Nat cause if the back kick is accurate and powerful, it can end a fight with ease, especially if the opponent doesn't expect spin kicks.

oblique kick goes brr
Maybe a low kick or just run away
Id much rather go for a teep to the thigh or knee or a low kick, since the possibility of getting your legs caught is a higher possibility for a front kick
The muay thai ' teep ', a very fast hard, almost jabbing front kick to the chest that the kicker retracts very quickly to avoid being grabbed.
