Should you catch LOW KICKS? What I learned in Thailand...
ฝัง

- I have had the opportunity to travel to Thailand to train Muay Thai many times in my life now. In almost every private lesson I took, I was taught how to catch the rear roundhouse kick and what to do if your kick is caught. A third thing I learned during my time in Thailand was whether or not we should be trying to catch low kicks!

No ego, no politics, no conspiracy theories...just sweet fighting science. Thank you a million times.
thank you bro!!
Dude, what fighting channels are you watching? Where are those political fighting channels that talk about conspiracy theories?
@@schibleh531 Good question, LMAO
@@schibleh531 seriously lol
Keep Moving! That's what Rocky says in his Motivational Speeches.
But rest is also important.
I prefer eating leg kicks up until I can’t properly stand anymore.
haha!
You Dutch?
That works too lol
the ole gilbert melendez v stephens strategy
Just have thick ass legs and your all good
I really appreciate that you show the failed attempts too. It shows the humility to be open with your learning, and encourages those following you that this doesn't come instantly - you have to try many times, and many of those will fail.
yes definitely, thanks for watching!!
"Jeff Chan of MMAShredded." But who else could it be besides the man, the myth, the legend??
LOOL :P
I love how you show the failed attempts and counters too for a well rounded and realistic look at the whole move. Your videos are excellent mate.
thank you bro!!
My god your content is top tier
thank you brother!!!
As someone who practices Sanda, I absolutely love kick catches! The turning of the shin vertical and wiggling it out also explains how and why Saenchai kicks. Driving the knee downwards to the floor is also a fairly common tactic for kick catch defense in Sanda. As for catching low kicks, it's worth noting that this is most effective on the low leg/thigh kick to the outside of one’s lead leg/thigh, as seen in this video, as opposed to the inside . Although this is possible in Sanda and can and has been setup into a wrestling single leg hike takedown, it can cause a bad habit of dropping the hands to catch a low leg/thigh kick to the inside of one’s lead leg/thigh, leaving oneself way more open (I've been guilty of this haha). Even in a write-up I wrote about catching the low leg/thigh kick to the outside of one’s lead leg/thigh in this video, I wrote, "The obvious disadvantage to this technique is that it involves dropping the lead hand from a guard, leaving the face and head open to an attack. The best solution to this would be to use this application only AFTER acquiring a good understanding of the opponent’s rhythm and timing of their kicks, and not initially, where the opponent would be able see this response and counter later."

sweet thanks for all the tips bro! cheers!
@El Bottoo somebody told me that the Chinese hired a load of quality muay-thai coaches to teach them, they then mixed it a little with some homegrown stuff and called it Sanda.
Yeahh, fresh from Jeff! Instructive as usual. Thumbs up!
thank you bro!
Number one 185 amateur MMA fighter in Texas here. Been watching videos on and off here for a little while now. Your videos have definitely changed the way I view a lot of striking. Very grateful to you.
thank you man keep it up the good training!
I love how you include footage of your failed attempts. It gives a realistic outlook on all the possibilities, and what can go wrong/how to deal with that. Much better than just showing successful attempts and pretending every technique works perfectly all the time.
I go to Phuket 3 times and year to train. Learn something new every time
Seeing how you apply in sparring whatever techniques you've picked up along the way, both hits & misses shows a great deal of sincerity on your part. And sincerity is the path towards mastery; no doubt you are on the way there. Keep it up! 👍
thank you brother!
Great video dude. I appreciate you talking about conflicting lessons around catching the low kick. It shows your being open minded and challenging ideas around rules you've already learned. Really humble and high level strategic thinking. I'm learning a lot from your videos dude, thank you!
thank you brother!!
Again Coach Jeff. Nothing but the best content. Been following for awhile and the fact that your still showing what you learned. With simple explanations of the drills. And then applied. Good and "bad" attempts. No one else does it like you. Much appreciated.
Finishing my night with your heavy bag workout.
thanks so much for the support Bryan!
Always followed your channel for the fantastic, grounded content. I dont usually comment but seeing you respond to so many comments and engage with people really brought a smile to my face. Fantastic work Jeff and big respect on your workrate, keep smashing it!

You chose a specific topic and explained it very well - and unlike far too many other YT channels, you don't waste time being critical and derogatory about other people! All good !

OSU from Germany
no problem man thanks for watching!
This is really good.... I've been thinking about whether to catch low kicks lately and now i'm seeing that the best way to deal with low kicks is to make them not want to throw it in the first place by catching the kicks to either sweep or off balance. Just what i needed to see, thanks Jeff!
awesome man thanks for watching!
great video as always! thank you!
thank you Dani!
Another great lesson 🙌🏻
thanks Jack!
what a legend. i love this channel lol
thank you Sean!
I like the format from instruction to sparring... Including the fails. It's important to see and appreciated.
thank you!
Great video Jeff, all your videos are good but I really love this one.🥋
thanks man :)
Another great video man
thank you bro!!
Wow, I've known how to do that but you do those leg escapes better than I can and they're faster and more effortless than I've ever seen. Nice work! The other one holding the head down is new to me. I'll have to try to practice that with a partner.
Thanks For Sharing ! Great Insights!
thanks sam!!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge...this is really good info 👏
thanks for watching!
Thumb up
Best channel ever for learning
thank you bro!!
Thank you for including the failed attempts in the video, very helpful
Good technique jeff. I learned the myanmar technique both when chatched or being catched start punching with your free arm. But the knee bending is great for follow up with close clinchwork. Keep it up
thanks man!!
Excelent as always
thank you!
I'm still pretty new to Muay Thai (been learning for a little over a year now), and just recently began sparring. I wish I had found this channel sooner. These are simple concepts that everyone learns in class, but as many people here have noted, the real sparring footage helps a lot. You can drill the same moves over and over again, but each opponent reacts differently, so it's nice to get different looks at potential situations I may encounter. Thank you!
thanks for watching!
Loving the content, you sir have gained a new subscriber!
thanks so much!
Nice vid! Thx for the info/insight !
thanks bro!
Nice tip on not always catching the low kick brother! It was an eye opener for me. Thanks Bro for this vlog! Keep safe!

I followed the link from the e-mail, "Should I catch the low kick?, oooh let me see! "What I learned in Thailand", oh of course...crafty Thais.

Brilliant video! I was able to train with the same Kru from the Yokkao gym back in February this year. Had two awesome sessions with him, he is a very good teacher.
awesome man! yeah hes a good instructor!
Good vid, quality content imo ^_^ I liked the explanation at the end about low kicks, I didn't realize that. Makes a lot of sense though. Good tip :)
thank you bro!
Very useful and to the Point, Great Job 💕👌🏻👍🏻

Great vid as always Jeff. Looking forward to when international travel opens up again so I can come do one of your training trips!
thank you bro would love to train with ya!
Was practising this yesterday. Used the roundhouse as response and also right cross both worked well. Oddly I then tried to catch the low kick but would rather step back or block with shin. Great stuff Jeff, that teep off and knee drop seemed to work great.
thank you bro!!
thank you for this amazing video and teachings
no prob!
This is a good look. Will practice this thank you for the lesson.
thank you!!
Great advice! I plan to teach some of this tonight.
awesome!!
I quit Muay Thai for boxing because I think I enjoy practicing and watching it more, but you're making me consider picking up Muay Thai again man, keep up the great content !
