Did they seriously think an NFL punter and a soccer player could kick as hard as a Thai fighter? Muay Thai possesses the strongest kick in martial arts; meant to shatter bone.
@外人外人 yeah u said it by yourself. muay thai is more practical. Even if it`s true what you`re writing, that TKD can generate more force theoretically, what`s the use if you can`t use it?
@外人外人 Where have you heard that a taekwondo fighter's round kicks generate two times as much force as a Thai fighter? All the studies I have read, obviously excluding Sport Science due to their lack of any sensible controls have Muay Thai fighters regularly on top of the force output.
It's not just about how hard they kick. It's about how they kick. If an elite Taekwondo practitioner tried this with his instep he's gonna break his foot. Muay Thai fighters forearms and shins are like iron because of all the blocking they do among other things. Leg kicking with the instep isn't the best way to go.
Netflix is an American business and there are a lot of American shows that have worthwhile content through the entire 30 minutes, like Cops or Manswers.
lol that are banana trees,not real trees.A bat is way more harder to break,you need long time to condition the shin for that.But it is not healthy.........
***** True, but he is also a guy who many people think he is one of Thailands greatest without ever had a big stadium title. If there is a top 20 of Thailands best, Buakaw by far wouldn't be in it.
I fucking hate this kind of shows, i mean it works on youtube where you can fast forward, but they drag out a 3 minute show to 20 minutes, so damn annoying!
MrKukenimunnen I'm not an American, MrDickinmymouth o.O What did you mean by that? Bobby Allen It really depends what show you're watching, a great example is mythbusters, they tell you the exact same fucking thing over and over again, it's horrible! Also I took commercials into consideration.
+TheHypernaught I used to think the same until I started BJJ and now that's the best part for me. The slug fests are cool but it's a shame that some fighters aren't the same after taking a huge KO etc
"I believe a powerful kick is more devastating than a powerful punch." *Facepalm* Obviously it is, legs are more powerful than your arms, they carry you everywhere.
Usually the punch is more powerfull, this is because your arm moves faster and strength is POWER x SPEED which means the arm results with less power but more speed then the leg which is more streght, but then again this guy has both power and speed in his legs
okii, thanks for sharing i actually thought an arm is stronger if faster, thanks dude, i am surprised how i found someone that corrects me without cussing xD
Michael Omelon I seriously doubt he said that. By definition, a good fighter would be fluid and able to use both arms and legs interchangeably without trouble (or at the most very little trouble)
One of the first kicks I ever learned was the roundhouse. I learned butterfly kicks, hooks, heels, spinning kicks, side, front, back, and even jump spinning kicks and I still find that the most powerful kick is the roundhouse. Its not fancy or difficult. It's just a straight up powerful kick.
Twang Twang Changpueks kicks weren't nearly as powerful as Apdej. He just used them against American Kickboxers who never take Thai kicks. And what about Yodsanklai Fairtex? The left kick?
There's an issue with the physics. The density of the item your striking matters. Notice from the football, to soccerball, to punching bag, then bat, than maple bat. The strike force goes up due to the density. The athlete is able to deliver more striking force the greater the resistance, due to the object not giving way at a lesser force "newtons of power generated". The truth is they did this for show for the "WOW" factor. The prior athletes probably had a MUCH higher striking force than 1/4 the striking power of the kick boxer but the object did not allow them to demonstrate. Not to say as prior younger athlete of both football, soccer, and combat sports, that the kick boxer didn't generate the kick of most force, or at minimum, would have had the least pain and practice kicking an object of higher density than our own shin bone. Just that regardless of the shin density, which can only be so much more dense, the leg speed and follow through can not be THAT much greater from professional to professional.
i know bas can punch that hard. and all these muay thai guts talk trash about other styles in the internet when it stylistically generates way less force
LMFAO! They get a world class Muay Thai champion and they say "If he kicks just 2 inches lower he may fracture is leg". Thai fighters of his level have at least 20 years of shin conditioning so their bone density is much higher than a person who doesn't train. If he kicked lower and it didn't break, he would throw another until is does. Thai's are tough but with his experience he doesn't feel 100% of the pain because the nerve endings are dull from so many years of conditioning and fighting. Thai's check kicks with their shins and they throw 50+ kicks at each other in a match and their shins don't break. Why don't these shows bring in experts to properly inform the people they are watching? 🤯🤯
There's a couple videos of Buakaw kicking down a tree, however, the micro fractures don't come from kicking hard object, most of the conditioning comes from running and skipping (for most Thai fighters in Thailand, fighting is not a sport but is a job, so they train for 8 hours or more a day and fight every friday or so).
absolutely false. Conditioning comes from kicking the heavy bag, hard objects and bamboo tapping. Ive been pro for over 7 years. I trained at Tiger in Thailand. running helps but if running is all you need to do then basketball players could kick through a bat or marathon runners can kick through a bat and we all know that is not true.

Hip/shoulder separation. Let the lower half of the body work first while the upper body stays back and loaded.

Bob Bryan it seems like there's no precise measuring of the force of either kick or punch in existence yet. As I was saying, same program measured 4 different martial arts kicking techniques, taekwon-do got over 2000lbs, which is sounds quite ridiculous comparing to what this guy is able to kick.
Boondock Saint well theres a TKD dojo near me and I peek a lot through the window to see them train, I see lots of kicks in the air, and beautiful ones, but rarely see them hitting pads or bags (or banana trees?), where as in my muay thai class we never do kicks in the air, always on heavy bags and pads, or shin guards in sparring. The first thing i noticed when I started muay thai was that i am way stronger than the strength i can apply on a kick, that meaning I would maybe break my shin bone would i apply all my strength. Its really cool to see how your ability to kick hard objects increases over time if you work with bags and pads, and banana trees
Bob Bryan No that isn't correct. As someone who has studied in both disciplines, I can honestly say that MT kicks are much more focused and stronger. TKD has some extremely flashy kicks and can be powerful but their training consists of less dense targets. For MT the target mitts I kick as well as the training bags are MUCH denser as well as heavier. Another focus is that MT is known as the martial art of eight strikes using elbows and knees repeatedly strengthening them. While TKD is strong, I would definitely say that MT uses much more body leverage and pivoting.
bob barker You say it's incorrect but then you agree, maybe I didnt understand you. Anyway, one thing I noticed a lot when I started training MT is that I couldn't hit something with full power without really hurting myself, thats why I feel heavy bags (or conditioning in general) are very important, I mean, whats so good about being able to throw a beautiful kick if in the end you can't throw another one because you hurt yourself on the first one :D That being said, I thought to myself "would these guys (TKD training without hitting anything) be able to actually land a massive kick like that in a fight?" I meanm i've seen impressive TKD fights with great knockouts, but those guys must train hitting something or they are in serious pain. I know TKD has the Indomitable Spirit concept and that could take away some pain, but theres a limit to that, and it might not be very smart aswell. btw, im in peace while commenting on these videos lol dont wish to start a fight over here
bob barker oh yeah baby, i understand now ! youre talking to the other guy ahahah anyway, just for the sake of xpressing my feelings: ELBOW FOR THE WIN! (reverse, horizontal and vertical) i mean nobody likes a well placed elbow on the side of his face and it sure ends up a lot of MT fights ive seen. Use it too much and your opponent will know your intentions, so, box box box, kick everytime you see an opening (usually after being hit) and on the last round when hes tired and lowers his hands from guard, BOOM ELBOW TO THE FACE, then you can say whatever you want about yourself and feel like THE MAN :DD
Muay thai has been recorded as having the strongest kicks. The reason being that the leg is used as a bat. The leg doesn't bend during the kick and it takes the shortest, straightest route. That means it's easily readable. But that doesn't matter because the speed on the route is faster than most kicks. Tae Kwan Do uses the knee as a fulcrum. So the PSI on that would only be a force from the knee to the ankle. Muay thai kick's PSI would be from the hip to the shin. Longer lever, more force.
Fight Science once did an episode on power strikes. Muay Thai came in third place behind Capoeira and Tae Kwon Do. The Muay Thai practitioner did about 1400 pounds of force on impact. Capoeira did about 1800. TKD came in at 2300. End result: I would not want to be hit by any of the three.
Krauty McLederhosen Actually you can only apply so much force on a smaller object because it does not "hit" back as hard. Try killing a mosquito by punching it out of the air. Not even Mike Tyson could do it. So, sorry, you fail physics 101. Even a child can kick with more than 200 lbs. of force if the target is heavy.
yotsub29 Yes, you are 100% correct. Either of those other two athletes could have easily broken that "anchored" bat as well, just as they could apply much more force to an anchored football or soccer ball. Glad to see someone here knows what they are talking about. This show is an insult to science.
+Krauty McLederhosen You still didn't address the main point to which we are responding. Namely that one can apply much more force to a heavy bag than to a soccer ball or football which moves away too fast for you to apply the required 700 lbs. of force. Why do you think they had two guys holding the bat still instead of just hanging the bat loosely from a rope? It's because it would move away at first contact making it nearly impossible for a human to break. They disqualified the other two athletes based on an unfair, unscientific comparison. Now wipe away your boyfriend's crusty splooge from your eyes and read what I have written, because it is all true.
+Krauty McLederhosen Dude, it's the comment from yotsub29 you responded to in this thread. He was referring to this portion of the video: 1:50 - 2:20. Peace.
Actually it doesn't matter what object they kick. The other objects have much more acceleration than the bag, so the bag has more mass but less acceleration. Either way it doesn't matter because he has a device that measures his kicking speed as well as his for weight. Multiply those two and you have your momentum.
he is using kard chuek (muay thai ropes), they are used in combats only won by knock out. Seasoned fighters only. So basically showing off his mastery xD
Very interesting, thank you. What happens when Muay Thai guys age? Does all that abnormal calcium in the shin cause arthritis? Or do the bones adjust and age normally?
@John Doe I know myself one guy, who's family member got killed because he got kicked in the head by a baby horse (dont know what it is in english, but not a pony) And what kind of steel was it? Those martial artists always want to show how tough they are, so they could easily just fake it by kicking some low quality steel.
if i remember the legendary Rob Kaman the man with the legs of steel can break easily 3 baseball bates impressive viking from holland the second country of thai boxing
That's cool and really amazes me. I wish I'd taken up Muay Thai or really any martial art when I was a kid, but I never thought about it, and now I'm old. Very impressive. When I was young, I used to punch concrete pillars for no real reason. I wonder if doing that hardened up my knuckles, and if they went back to normal once I stopped doing it, or if it works that way.
My friend told me there are two perfect ages when you can start a martial art. 5 years and now. I'm 24 and I just started MMA. I don't know how old you are but we have new guys over 40 coming to train with us. You're never too old :)
hardest kick I ever saw recorded was in the show fight science by a Australian tae kwon doe black belt [ I want ot say 5 degree] 2300 pounds of force traveling at 139 mph
Would have been interesting to measure the lowkicks power from someone like Buakaw, who is _famous_ for his powerful lowkicks. (as proven by his many fights in which the opponent tko/ko, from them)
Looking back on the 770lbs recorded force. Mind you, it was done on a weighted bag which holds its own. So to compre his kick on different bats, but not the same weight as the bag is somewhat erroneous..the height of his kick should also be similar... he did a middle leg kick on the bag, but does low leg kicks on the bats. Huge respect for Mr Mel. Yes, he'll break them coz he probably has more than 800lbs kick in him. Very unsafe for the bat holders too! Production crew should've thought of some"thing" safer. 🥲
Muay tai fighters are so tough thats why his conditioning meant that he said it only hurt a little even if we could kick that hard without shattering out own bones it would hurt like hell. Really impressive
Ippo2k16 Badr carries 40-50 more KG over buakaw, im pretty sure he'll have more force in his lowkicks despite the beast buakaw is Like 170cm vs 195cm, big difference
Ippo2k16 I dont, its logic, Both barely have any fat on their body in their prime. They both have the same kickin technique, using their full bodyweight n' hip movement.. Just check some of badr hari's compilation, you'll udnerstand the force he is capable off But yo, aint no saying for sure, but i;m pretty sure in my own way since BADR was trained at mike's gym, and they supply their fighters with the typical lowkick finishing move, after a combination
At my Karate dojo, every Christmas our instructor(the guy who owns the place) breaks a baseball bat with his shins. He has attempted 2 baseball bats but i'm not sure if he has ever broken 2, but he breaks one all the time and has done it for as long as I can remember. He trains his shins on a palm tree in his back yard.

And if you felt respect, admiration for this guy doing it. Then why would't you do it for those thousand of other people, that have done it before. And not only Kokushin Karatekas but many other practicioners of martial arts have done this feat before.
People arguing punches are stronger than kicks... because X and Y heavy weight punched 2,000+ pounds... Well then a sumo fighter jumping from the second floor is stronger, he can generate lots more strength with his ass...
Eli instead of claiming one is stronger than the other, those idiots should be doing some research and judge athletes within the same weight classes and what not. ppl b comparing a featherweight to a heavyweight.
kaiser2324 that is true tho. If it's a person is not as big as another you shouldn't compare cuz I don't think a kick from a 145 or 155 pound person could be stronger than a punch from 185 - 200 pound person cuz a bigger person has more weight to channel into strikes. but if comparing people of same size and weight then kicks are more powerful than punches.
I think you'd have to be really good to recreate a Muay Thai kick on a whim, you have to be pumping with adrenaline and animalistic rage and fear to get a full force kick.
I think what he's trying to say is that, your kick have to be fast and strong so that you can break the bat perfectly into two. This is to ensure the bat doesn't return 790 lbs of force back to his shins. In this case, no amount of training may prevent you from injury because there's a biological limit to how strong your bone is.
I have seen Clint brake two bats duck taped together at once. at the US open. also did a speed brake too. where someone was holding the bat up (so was not supported on top) meaning you will just kick it over unless you have enough speed to brake through it. hints *Speed brake* :) he used a tornado round kick for that one though. i believe it was 2004

For reference nearly all the kicks in Muay Thai are in TKD so the fact that you slag of TKD and make Muay Thai look so great is hypocritical because guess what? They both share similar moves.
Put a (good) Kung Fu practitioner in a fight with any of them, they will honestly get ruined. By good though, I mean Red Sash level or higher.
TheArc NSLM HOAHOAHOAHOAHOAHOAHOAHOAOA!!!!!!!!! .......ohhh maaannn.......... you both OBVIOUSLY have NO IDEA of what are you talking about..... lol...... it's sad.........
Force = mass x acceleration.
E=mc^2
Force = Mass × Acceleration SQUARED.
Daniel Bray what
Force doesn't break bats anyway. Pressure does.
Daniel Bray do you mean kinetic energy? 1/2 mass x velocity^2?
Imagine the bat being your leg...
Why there is no Cro Cop? xD
Сашко Сашкович yes finally someone say it
That's bloody OVERKILL!!
Cro Cop is famous for his headkicks, And headkicks are not the kick that will be the most powerful.
Imagine. That’s like 7000000 lbs of force
@@diskokulan4206 famous, thats true...but imagine how devasting middle kick will be if you look High kick. We must ask Magomedov's or Heath Hearing's liver
how much amount of force can breaks Anderson Silva's Leg?
As much force as he could throw versus a knee, that does not go well for the shinbone...
hahahaha
his leg is allrdy broken in the final againt the american guy ;)

Briguy702 bare in mind he hit the knee bone. Even a baseball bat hitting a knee bone can break.
bring in Mirko Cro Cop!
Meetyouinhell1 Yeah :D
He broke those bats like matches, his kick can't be 770lbs it's MUCH higher than that
Bob Bryan it seems like there's no precise measuring of the force of either kick or punch in existence yet. As I was saying, same program measured 4 different martial arts kicking techniques, taekwon-do got over 2000lbs, which is sounds quite ridiculous comparing to what this guy is able to kick.
Boondock Saint well theres a TKD dojo near me and I peek a lot through the window to see them train, I see lots of kicks in the air, and beautiful ones, but rarely see them hitting pads or bags (or banana trees?), where as in my muay thai class we never do kicks in the air, always on heavy bags and pads, or shin guards in sparring. The first thing i noticed when I started muay thai was that i am way stronger than the strength i can apply on a kick, that meaning I would maybe break my shin bone would i apply all my strength. Its really cool to see how your ability to kick hard objects increases over time if you work with bags and pads, and banana trees
Bob Bryan No that isn't correct. As someone who has studied in both disciplines, I can honestly say that MT kicks are much more focused and stronger. TKD has some extremely flashy kicks and can be powerful but their training consists of less dense targets. For MT the target mitts I kick as well as the training bags are MUCH denser as well as heavier. Another focus is that MT is known as the martial art of eight strikes using elbows and knees repeatedly strengthening them. While TKD is strong, I would definitely say that MT uses much more body leverage and pivoting.
bob barker You say it's incorrect but then you agree, maybe I didnt understand you. Anyway, one thing I noticed a lot when I started training MT is that I couldn't hit something with full power without really hurting myself, thats why I feel heavy bags (or conditioning in general) are very important, I mean, whats so good about being able to throw a beautiful kick if in the end you can't throw another one because you hurt yourself on the first one :D That being said, I thought to myself "would these guys (TKD training without hitting anything) be able to actually land a massive kick like that in a fight?" I meanm i've seen impressive TKD fights with great knockouts, but those guys must train hitting something or they are in serious pain. I know TKD has the Indomitable Spirit concept and that could take away some pain, but theres a limit to that, and it might not be very smart aswell. btw, im in peace while commenting on these videos lol dont wish to start a fight over here
bob barker oh yeah baby, i understand now ! youre talking to the other guy ahahah anyway, just for the sake of xpressing my feelings: ELBOW FOR THE WIN! (reverse, horizontal and vertical) i mean nobody likes a well placed elbow on the side of his face and it sure ends up a lot of MT fights ive seen. Use it too much and your opponent will know your intentions, so, box box box, kick everytime you see an opening (usually after being hit) and on the last round when hes tired and lowers his hands from guard, BOOM ELBOW TO THE FACE, then you can say whatever you want about yourself and feel like THE MAN :DD
They should've took buakaw
This kick is lethal!Great vid!
As a fellow martial artist, i looked at the guy and just knew it was easy mode for him.
Would you agree that the conditioning is likely to leave him paralysed later on in life?
@@sugs1191 No
i wish we could see sakmongol, payakaroon, buakaw and yodsanklai do the same
Muay thai has been recorded as having the strongest kicks. The reason being that the leg is used as a bat. The leg doesn't bend during the kick and it takes the shortest, straightest route. That means it's easily readable. But that doesn't matter because the speed on the route is faster than most kicks. Tae Kwan Do uses the knee as a fulcrum. So the PSI on that would only be a force from the knee to the ankle. Muay thai kick's PSI would be from the hip to the shin. Longer lever, more force.
Fight Science once did an episode on power strikes. Muay Thai came in third place behind Capoeira and Tae Kwon Do. The Muay Thai practitioner did about 1400 pounds of force on impact. Capoeira did about 1800. TKD came in at 2300.
End result: I would not want to be hit by any of the three.
The first time I heard of Mel was on Stan Lee’s Superhumans and what he did was pretty awesome.
I'm going to test my forehead against an aluminum bat now
This man can easily break through the furniture corners without even breaking his little toe.
I couldn't even imagine a leg kick from this guy.
next, let's try an iron rod, 4 feet long
look up tony ferguson kicks pole
Next time lets put your head there and see if it explodes like a watermelon
Then there's Buakaw.
"He can really kick some serious ash" xD I love it
"And he can really kick some serious ash!"....
Jauz I was reading that as soon as the narrator said that.
Why yes, I definitely can-not do this. I would move the bat, then cry from pain. This gives me greater respect for trained fighters
Melchor Menor's a beast in his Muay Tha style, and Thai fighters are not one to mess with as they trained in the style since childhood.
of course a muay thai kick on a heavy bag will have more force than a footballer kicking a smaller target SMH
Krauty McLederhosen Actually you can only apply so much force on a smaller object because it does not "hit" back as hard. Try killing a mosquito by punching it out of the air. Not even Mike Tyson could do it. So, sorry, you fail physics 101. Even a child can kick with more than 200 lbs. of force if the target is heavy.
yotsub29 Yes, you are 100% correct. Either of those other two athletes could have easily broken that "anchored" bat as well, just as they could apply much more force to an anchored football or soccer ball. Glad to see someone here knows what they are talking about. This show is an insult to science.
+Krauty McLederhosen You still didn't address the main point to which we are responding. Namely that one can apply much more force to a heavy bag than to a soccer ball or football which moves away too fast for you to apply the required 700 lbs. of force. Why do you think they had two guys holding the bat still instead of just hanging the bat loosely from a rope? It's because it would move away at first contact making it nearly impossible for a human to break. They disqualified the other two athletes based on an unfair, unscientific comparison. Now wipe away your boyfriend's crusty splooge from your eyes and read what I have written, because it is all true.
+Krauty McLederhosen Dude, it's the comment from yotsub29 you responded to in this thread. He was referring to this portion of the video: 1:50 - 2:20. Peace.
Actually it doesn't matter what object they kick. The other objects have much more acceleration than the bag, so the bag has more mass but less acceleration. Either way it doesn't matter because he has a device that measures his kicking speed as well as his for weight. Multiply those two and you have your momentum.
is it really necessary to have his hands wrapped to kick a bag?
u get bruises if u dont
+DaddyTV bruises on what exactly? he's not punching anything.
+Mr. Boarbaby my bad i didnt see the kick the bag part
he is using kard chuek (muay thai ropes), they are used in combats only won by knock out. Seasoned fighters only. So basically showing off his mastery xD
It's super necessary
a guy kicked a person in the nuts with 1100 pounds of force....
what a severe loss
What u on bout
Liam Farese what theeee hell
+El Nor (elusive budgie) scrambled eggs
Hahaha
Ah yes a video i saw 8 years ago. thanks for suggeting it again youtube
He is also on Stan Lee's Super Humans and they measured his kicking force at 1000lbs. Also, he's gotten a lot bigger since this show
“Kick some serious ash” 💀💀💀
Thats why this is the first striking offense not a self defense anymore and the first martial arts i learn
"yup, thats my blood," so calm
Very interesting, thank you. What happens when Muay Thai guys age? Does all that abnormal calcium in the shin cause arthritis? Or do the bones adjust and age normally?
thouth he said buthole in 1:24
cinstin n "add some butthole"
Man the kicks some of these guys can throw with kickboxing backgrounds even amateurs I’m convinced could break some ribs for sure...
My favorite kick style👍🏻oss🙇🏻♂️
how powerful is horse kick 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
More powerful than any human.
@John Doe I know myself one guy, who's family member got killed because he got kicked in the head by a baby horse (dont know what it is in english, but not a pony) And what kind of steel was it? Those martial artists always want to show how tough they are, so they could easily just fake it by kicking some low quality steel.
Idk but i think he was talking about the kick “horse kick” and not a kick from a horse
Try that with a Cold Steel Polypropylene bat.
You try do that with a wood bat, Or even a broom stick at that
The "kick some serious Ash" pun at the end...
That's why Muay Thai is Brutal..
2:43 "I'm going to hit you there!"
hahaha wow, cannot believe you spotted that
Underrated comment xD
if i remember the legendary Rob Kaman the man with the legs of steel can break easily 3 baseball bates impressive viking from holland the second country of thai boxing
That's cool and really amazes me. I wish I'd taken up Muay Thai or really any martial art when I was a kid, but I never thought about it, and now I'm old. Very impressive. When I was young, I used to punch concrete pillars for no real reason. I wonder if doing that hardened up my knuckles, and if they went back to normal once I stopped doing it, or if it works that way.
My friend told me there are two perfect ages when you can start a martial art. 5 years and now. I'm 24 and I just started MMA. I don't know how old you are but we have new guys over 40 coming to train with us. You're never too old :)
He was on Stan Lee’s Superhumans 2:50.
hardest kick I ever saw recorded was in the show fight science by a Australian tae kwon doe black belt [ I want ot say 5 degree] 2300 pounds of force traveling at 139 mph
Would have been interesting to measure the lowkicks power from someone like Buakaw, who is _famous_ for his powerful lowkicks. (as proven by his many fights in which the opponent tko/ko, from them)
godddamnnn you wouldn't see me fuck around with this dude!!
Looking back on the 770lbs recorded force. Mind you, it was done on a weighted bag which holds its own. So to compre his kick on different bats, but not the same weight as the bag is somewhat erroneous..the height of his kick should also be similar... he did a middle leg kick on the bag, but does low leg kicks on the bats.
Huge respect for Mr Mel. Yes, he'll break them coz he probably has more than 800lbs kick in him.
Very unsafe for the bat holders too! Production crew should've thought of some"thing" safer. 🥲
Muay tai fighters are so tough thats why his conditioning meant that he said it only hurt a little even if we could kick that hard without shattering out own bones it would hurt like hell. Really impressive
Hahaha the teakwondo guy in a nother episode kickt 1049kg (2 312.64913 pounds) This was nothng to him ;)
Now lets see badr hari's lowkicks in his todays form..... but fucking strong for a guy his size
he would lose to buakaw.
Melchor Menor also lost the battle of low kicking versus Masato and Masato is also scared of Buakaw's low kicks.
Ippo2k16 Badr carries 40-50 more KG over buakaw, im pretty sure he'll have more force in his lowkicks despite the beast buakaw is
Like 170cm vs 195cm, big difference
HellaFlush070 and how do you exactly know the power of buakaw's kicks?
Ippo2k16 I dont, its logic, Both barely have any fat on their body in their prime. They both have the same kickin technique, using their full bodyweight n' hip movement.. Just check some of badr hari's compilation, you'll udnerstand the force he is capable off
But yo, aint no saying for sure, but i;m pretty sure in my own way since BADR was trained at mike's gym, and they supply their fighters with the typical lowkick finishing move, after a combination

At my Karate dojo, every Christmas our instructor(the guy who owns the place) breaks a baseball bat with his shins. He has attempted 2 baseball bats but i'm not sure if he has ever broken 2, but he breaks one all the time and has done it for as long as I can remember. He trains his shins on a palm tree in his back yard.
What! I thought Bane was the man who broke the bat?
Haha. I almost threw up I laughed so hard. Well done. Very clever.
Thanks dude! Boredom makes me do things
WolfyAxe well done sir!
Instantly saved the comments section lmao! Well done
Kyokushin Karatekas do this all the time in there tameshiwari. Look for it, there are lots of videos of it here in TH-cam even women doing it.
Here is the kyoshin karate butthurt! Like people always complain which martial art is best but you fools should know it's never the martial art it is always the user!
Kyoushin Karate butthurt!... You are an arrogant fool!... You didn't understand my words. You make a wrong comparison between my statement and that wrong idea in whch you claim, i was glorifying Kyokushin Karate. If you did not manage to get my words, what i was saying, is that this test have been done a thousand times, before they did it with this Muay Thai practicioner, it is nothing new at all. And if you felt respect, admiration for this guy doing it. Then why would't you do it for those thousand of other people, that have done it before. And not only Kokushin Karatekas but many other practicioners of martial arts have done this feat before.
Karate is watered down kung fu!!!
but they dont kick this hard
Julián Ow Young MT fighters do this all the time as well.
I'm more amazed that the guy at the bottom holding the bat was able to hold it against the force of the kick.
nice work mel
Oh my god, if that man kicked a common man he would die 😱

People arguing punches are stronger than kicks... because X and Y heavy weight punched 2,000+ pounds... Well then a sumo fighter jumping from the second floor is stronger, he can generate lots more strength with his ass...
Kebren why people arguing that? kicks are more powerful than punches since legs are our largest and heaviest limbs. punches tend to be faster tho.
Eli instead of claiming one is stronger than the other, those idiots should be doing some research and judge athletes within the same weight classes and what not. ppl b comparing a featherweight to a heavyweight.
kaiser2324 that is true tho. If it's a person is not as big as another you shouldn't compare cuz I don't think a kick from a 145 or 155 pound person could be stronger than a punch from 185 - 200 pound person cuz a bigger person has more weight to channel into strikes. but if comparing people of same size and weight then kicks are more powerful than punches.
Mastered Ultra Instinct Eli it’s the size of the muscles. Your thigh is like 20 times the size of your bicep.
The balls of the guy holding the bat at the bottom are legendary.
‘Oh I wonder who will kick the hardest. Definitely not the PROFFESIONAL FUCKING FIGHTER!’ 🥴

1000 pounds of force thats insane jarvis
The breeze from one of those kicks can snap my leg
5:13.
I think you'd have to be really good to recreate a Muay Thai kick on a whim, you have to be pumping with adrenaline and animalistic rage and fear to get a full force kick.
One lowkick and game over !
It's not the strength of his shins. It's the power in the technique
true, but a normal person would probably break their shin kicking that
@@saltyboi2435 yeah i can see that happening
This is why you don't mess with Muy Thai fighters on the streets.
I think what he's trying to say is that, your kick have to be fast and strong so that you can break the bat perfectly into two. This is to ensure the bat doesn't return 790 lbs of force back to his shins. In this case, no amount of training may prevent you from injury because there's a biological limit to how strong your bone is.
Yeah, but you can condition your shins to become stronger
He didnt really hit it with his shins, though. More like his instep.
Most lethal thing in this video were those puns.
I have seen Clint brake two bats duck taped together at once. at the US open. also did a speed brake too. where someone was holding the bat up (so was not supported on top) meaning you will just kick it over unless you have enough speed to brake through it. hints *Speed brake* :) he used a tornado round kick for that one though. i believe it was 2004
