Nice video but too much begginer stuff you should add some more advanced techniques in your channel
Keep it up bro, love you from malaysian
AWESOME video man, what do you think of keeping your base foot flat and knee bent as the kick flies a la karate style [its better for mma]
Great instruction. One of the best fundamental lessons and breakdowns. Thank you
Hey Sean. Can you let me know how those buakaw gloves held up. Im looking to move on from my boons and in hoping to get a nice pair of 16oz gloves for sparring
Sean: Your switch kick sucks!
Me: How did he know?! 😭
😂😂
I read minds 😎
Guillermo Perez lol cause we clicked on the vid🤣
Haha love it 👊🤙
that’s exactly why I’m here 😂😂😂
Spoiler: because his sucks too! He’s no Thai
It's a rare thing when a fighter is also a great teacher appreciate all the gems you give 💪💯
That means a lot, thanks so much!
True story!!
100%
Who is a fighter ?
@@AD-ot5ok my guy Sean Fagen lol
I'm still doing 50 kicks on each side a day and it has really brought out my technique. Love the videos keep em coming.
You got it! Keep the momentum going 👊🔥
make that 100 a day ;)
what bag you use, do you have it in your home?
I just started training in Muay Thai last week. I've been following you for a while and this is a huge help. Switch kicks feel so awkward right now. Thank you!
keep going
hope your still going! can you switch kick now?
Damn I wish I was quarantined with a heavy bag
Same dude... plus be in Thailand and to have a hammock to chill in would be nice right now.
rakat sceptic I’ve been using a gua sha tool to scrape them. It helps with shin splints too.
Just been kicking the lampost outside
heavy bag is just one aspect of training. you can be doing strength n conditioning and shadow boxing
Aphid Bowler true. I do shadow box but my God I love hitting the heavy bag. I actually do have one but I don’t have anywhere to hook it up. I just started leaning it against the wall so I can do some power low kicks
Didn't even realize how bad my switch kick was!
The eye level concept is a game changer for me cuz I just thought it was my speed that was inducing my sparing opponent to check it so easily
Now I'm landing them more consistently and it feels great to get that extra hit in!
Thanks for your time!
Watched a few switch kick vids here on TH-cam, this is the best. Thanks!
This was super super helpful. I was getting some coaching today, and I realized several things from this video. I'm struggling with power because I'm switching feet okay, but leaving my left shoulder forward, and then it's all weird when I try to generate power, because my shoulder is already forward. Oh, and why is it forward, because my stance was too bladed, which, means when I switch, my whole upper body has to rotate way too much to do it effectively and quickly. Correct the over-bladed stance, pull the left shoulder back when I rotate, and kick like I'm in southpaw as you point out, and hey presto. Kick that has some power finally. Great stuff!
I started Muay Thai as a Taekwondo practitioner, and a switch kick in Muay Thai is a lot difficult. I used to switch sliding my legs wider and it becomes even difficult to throw roundhouse kick Muay Thai style, any Taekwondo practitioners do that a lot. This video really gives me insight on how to do it correctly, it's perfectly well explained. Thanks coach!
THE BEST switch kick tutorial I’ve found on TH-cam! Is there “your roundhouse sucks” video? Awesome looking gear too!
Gosh bro, been training for almost 8 months and this has been incredibly helpful. So simple. Thank you.
Love The Way You're Breaking Down The Knowledge 💯
Great video as always Sean🙏🏽 I'll work on my switch kick 😁👊🏼
Awesome instructional! I'll keep in mind the arm swing and shoulder tips
Great video with helpful informations. I was unaware of the trick of the shoulder going forward, many thanks for that.
I have so much to learn and I'm enjoying this process so much. Thank you for these videos. Thank you so much.
Sean feagan you are an excellent teacher!
Very helpful once again Sean your advice is priceless
Awesome tutorial 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻thanx Sean!!!
Great instruction! You're a teacher as much as you are an instructor and that is rare, at least in my opinion. My girlfriend and I just spent a month in Pattaya at the Fairtex camp. It was surprising to me how much better and different the thai round kick is in the place of it's origin. It made me realize that most thai guys here in the states are good, but nothing close to what we experienced at the camp. I think its american lifestyle and ego to be honest. We can't wait to go back. Hopefully 2 months next time so we can visit other camps.
This video is awesome!! My switch kick has always sucked - I wish I had known to make these adjustments ten years ago! Thank you for putting out all the content that you do!
You’re very welcome thanks for the love!
EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE 🙏🏻🥰
Very detailed information very helpful
just coming back to the basics helps me tremendously. Thanks for the vids.
Glad you like them!
Objective and well edited. Nice video.
Thank you very much for this video, it helped me a lot
Loving your work coach
You just showed me exactly what i have been doing
Switching to where my lead foot is......
Great vid
excellent pointers. man I wish .. I lived closer to you. you provide clear concise and very thorough break down of techniques . very impressed and have become a loyal student . Thanks for providing great content .
I appreciate the love my man!
Sean, you are the man! Big ups!! Ive added ur 20 min Thai heavy bag workout to my daily routine and damn it kills me every time! Awesome work bro!
That’s awesome keep crushing it!
Thank you for your tutorial I need work on my switch kick left and right leg thank you
Very helpful! I know next to nothing about muay thai, so I hope you make more videos in the future. Thanks alot!
Awesome thanks for watching!
This is the second video of yours I've studied. You are a leg-kick scientist, man.
Great teaching man, always impressed by your cardio and the fact you can show the moves AND keep talking the whole time. I practice the noble art as an amateur, and want to learn how to kick. Never done it, feels pretty awkward, specially when shadow boxing, cause you don't know what to do with the leg after the rotation. Being left on one leg even for a second feels wrong. But I use your videos to learn Muay Thai basics, and my balance improves every day. That stance is still a pure mystery for me, my subconcious refuses to let me stay on my back leg, it's hard when you drilled so much to keep a regular boxing stance and low head movement. But having the other leg ready to go at any time and in any direction looks very dissuasive. Confined or not confined, you can learn stuff if you have the right teaching. Just discovered your channel and let me tell you, there is nothing else like it on the subject. Greatings from France !
I really appreciate the love and support! Glad youve been enjoying my videos and learning a lot 🙏
This channel is really really helping lockdown. Cheers!
Happy to help!
So totally needed this. Thanks so much!!!
You’re very welcome 👊🙏
Usually I don't like videos with titles that start with wording like this because it reminds me of clickbait. But you Sean are such a helpful person, I know it's coming from the right place and there will be genuine value adding content. You are such a great coach on video, I can only imagine how much more a person could benefit from training sessions in person. I appreciate your vision and your tutelage. I can't wait to join one of your retreats /camps. U need to remind people that you offer those services or they may miss out. Thank you again for all the brilliant content. 🙏
Thanks so much for the love and kind words, it really means a lot!
Very informative sir thank you! 🥊
You got the best tips brother, thank you so much. Gonna subscribe to your site when I’m able to 💪
Awesome thank you!
This really help me, thanks from Paraguay 🇵🇾
Much appreciated sir!!
Very helpful!!
Even though, I don't know a lot about Muay Thai, and we don't have such a sport in my country, but I'm so in, and I appreciate your efforts to learn us 🙏🙏
Thanks for your support 🙏
Love the small details very easy to apply.
Thanks so much!
What great information 🙏
Another great, informative video Sean, my switch kick needs improvement. I tend to forget to create that 45 degree angle as I perform the switch kick.
Happy to help Vernon!
Love the content mate absolutely class
Thanks so much!
Great teacher you are!!!
Thanks Jim!
What a great channel!
Keep the good work!
Thanks so much!
EXCELLENT, THANKS!
Hello Champion, I love yous videos, because you explicite very good.
Sorry my English is bad, I am French from Paris.
Continue and see you always.
🙏
NICE!!Thanks for Sharing🤙🏽🤙🏽
You bet
Amazing teacher !!! Greeting from Samui !
Thank you! 😃👍👍
As a novice having switched from Bill Wallace style to Muay Thai style, this is incredibly useful. A game changer. In my first week this week, whilst training on the pads, my partner said 'move your feet!' whilst going through a punch and lead roundhouse drill. i had no idea what she was talking about ha ha. I've now studied it all weekend and taken it to the heavy bag in my garden. Just jab and switch kick. I thought i would NEVER feel good kicking with my weaker left side. Now...its actually coming together. When you drill stuff like this over and over...well, it doesn't matter that i'm 50 in december and came to martial arts very very late lol. It's sooo enjoyable
Great vid bro I'm gonna try out the tips to better my switch kick..👍
Awesome let me know how it helps!
have watched this video so many times but still feel like my switch sucks lol. Sean you rock!
Thanks!
This is very helpful! My switch kick is always out of place 😤.. this video works like an A B C for me 😊 thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome 🙏
I have a karate background, so my switch kick is too much like a left standing side kick. I’m likely not throwing my left shoulder forward enough with the arm swing. Appreciate the advice!
I like all the tips and tricks for the kicks. I'm working on my flexibility there en sometimes I lose the focus of the other things. Because there is so much going on in a kick. Swing your arm, throw the shoulder right, position your feet right, swing the hip etc.
Haha yea there’s so many finer details it can be hard to focus on them all at once!
As a newbie to kicking (did boxing before) I always feel I have too much weight on my back foot. I'm thinking the 'throwing the shoulder' tip might help rebalance my stance. Good video! Thanks
That was good. Thanks
Video coming clutch in quarantine 👌
Happy to help 👊
Hey Sean! Can you do a head movements for muay thai? I'm a south paw fighter and have a powerful kick. I'm lack of head movements. Thanks!
Awesome awesome awesome guidance !!
Thanks so much!
Thank you Sean... and btw, your Heavy Bag Blueprint 2.0 is amazing :)
Thanks for the love! I’ll be adding to it soon so keep an eye out 😉
A good exercise that I found in the book "The Art of Eight Limbs, The Science of Nine" is The Learning Pole, an exercise to work on body flow and twist for kicking.
"Take a broomstick and place it over your shoulders keeping a tight grip of the ends. Start whilst in your guard stance twisting your body so you end up with the rear end of the pole pointing at the bag then reset yourself and go again building more speed each time, you should get to a point where your rear leg will start to drag around and lift off the floor, only then should you let your leg kick, let all of the twisting force be transferred down through the hips into the leg."
Thanks for another great video 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tip! 🙏
Two things I learned early on about switch kicks.:
1. Switch your feet subtly. Don't do a big leg movement bc that's a big tell.
2. Throw the kick as soon as you switch your feet. Catch that rebound.
My most common mistake was going too wide. Solved that problem. Now I am working on ensuring my shoulder is in the right place.
Yup those are very good points!
Huge fan brody. Your vids are much appreciated by myself and many others. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Been training for a month now, a couple trainers have told me my progression is quicker than most, the down side, i started late 37 now but in better shape than most 20 yr olds lol. I was a bodybuilder before so im naturally bulky lol. Suggestions on fighting weight? I walk around usually at 225, but i am 195 now.
You are definitely the inspiration for the Monk in diablo III
Man that scenery in the background with the heavy bag looks like a warrior’s paradise 💯
It was!
im right handed and left footed,
I must choose the orthodox or southpaw stance ? main benefits in Orthodox - better teep, better cross, better switch kick main benefits in southpaw - better liver kicks, better jab, better inside low kick Thank you, your channel is amazing!!!
Question for you Sean, when you talk about tucking your shoulder and throwing your arm back (time code 4:42): should a fighter tuck their chin with the shoulder to avoid counters on that side? sort of like the boxing defense of rolling the shoulder to protect the chin
ty bro i was jumping while switching gonna work on it....
Awesome have fun!
Good video bro
Pure gold! Ty!
You got it!
Thanks
Always quality info! Hope to cross paths soon. 🙂🇹🇭🙏
I appreciate the support!
Gah, I struggle so much with the bounce! Thanks for the tips!
You got it!
Thank you
My thai trainer I was trained by for 6 years had a style that he never threw the switch kick
Only the walking kick on opposite stance and now that I’ve changed gyms obviously I’m learning the switch kick
That helps a lot your video
Thanks again
Happy to help!
@@seanfagan Can you do a video on what this guy said? The front leg roundhouse kick after stepping with the back leg. Maybe compare it with the switch kick too.
@@sabashoshiashvili5020 i do it both ways but I think doing the switch is bit easier and u can land faster if u learned it properly
That was outstanding. I’m screwing up my shoulders on the arm throw!
Glad the video helped!
I never comment, but for this i have to:
Realised the mistake I made and why switch kicks always were a weak point for me:
I never Switched, I just threw a left kick without repositioning.
Thank you.
Can post a tutorial video on using head movement for muay thai
I’ll see what I can do
thank u so much ❤️
You’re very welcome 🙏
well done video
Thanks! 👊🙏
nice tutorial
Thanks Coach, that’s exactly what I needed. I just started a Muay Thai gym in North Carolina and I’m an Orange Belt in American Karate and I didn’t know what a “switch kick” was. This will help me tremendously 💪🏼
Hot diggety boss dawg!
This was gooood.
Keep up the great work.
You got it man!
@@seanfagan Hi brother!
Where u hanging out in Thailand?
Do you do personal training?
@@rtordenskjold I'm on Koh Phangan island. And I do personal training very sparingly
@@seanfagan Awesome brother.
I will let you know once i am back in the land of smiles.
I normally reside in Bkk, but i am mobile.
Thanks brother
Really good

You're welcome
Thank you so much this is really helpful for me because I want to be an mma fighter one day🥳🥳🥳
Nice to see some Buakaw love. Why "in the K1 days?" Has he changed his kicking form since then?
No he just got Older
No but he was in his prime during K1
@@seanfagan thanks
Sean can you make a video on traditional muay boran please i know u mastered that too 🤗😮😃😃👍🏽
Thanks for the video Sean. What do you think about Edson Barboza's switch kick?
I think it’s nasty!!
