Better if you aim for the thigh right above the knee. The knee is a low percentage small, slippery target, especially on that kind of exchange. You’ll not only stop the kick, you’ll often get a knockdown.
"The butt can take a lot of damage" -Coach Ramsey, 2020. Having said that, loved this video since my kick game is pretty weak. P.s. Yeah, I know is 4-years-old humor, butt I don't care :D.
The second one, where you step back is called a 'leg void' in fencing. Often people get hit anyways, because they don't move the whole leg - either: The foot moves back, bending at the knee, or The hips move back without lifting the foot properly. Alas, good footwork is hard.
I was recently watching the Joanna Young Jay Check vs Valentina Shevchemko fight and Valentina was using lots of these techniques in the fight. It was very interesting to see this right afterward because it helped me understand the fight.
If you're in a low, wider stance, such as a Karate stance, you can quickly pull your lead foot in to avoid the kick (assuming they're kicking you're lead leg). You can see Stephen Wonderboy do this frequently in his fights
Great content! Reviewing this video & now I know why you looked so familiar in the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship. Wishing you continued success. Keep up the great work! OSS!!! 🇧🇷❤️🇺🇸
I learned that the heel kick we used in kung-fu can be used a low kick block. I prefer to ride the leg kick similar to the butt block, but I twist my lead leg and come up on the ball of my foot so the kick rides up a few inches higher on my leg than the kicker expected and it lands in my hand.
If you ever came to Europe let us know, I bet there will be many people that will love to meet you in person. Thank you again for all the good content you put here for all of us.
Hey couch, so did i tae kwon do for about 12 years but recently got into MMA (before the end of the world) and on my first day my couch saw that i was standing in a bladed stance. He corrected me saying that if i stand bladed i would just eat leg kicks and i have also notice my boxing and clinchting doesn't work as well either in a bladed stance. So i stood more in a muay thai stance so that i could learn that style of fighting rather than just my own. However i am finding it hard to be able to move quickly and i generally find it more comfortable fighting bladed. Should i just carry on fighting square to my partner and get more use to it or is there away to make the bladed stance more effective for MMA?
Stances change constantly and dynamically throughout an MMA fight as the situation changes. A side stance (or a bladed stance) has very specific uses (eg: side kicks, back kicks, philly shell) You won’t always be using those techniques. There’s no reason to lock up into a single position like that. You will always feel more comfortable doing what you are used to. But unless what you are used to is winning MMA fights, then you need to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
@@RamseyDewey Oh wow tbh i wasn't really expecting a reply. Yeah that makes a lot sense, Thank you so much! Also would love to see a video of you explaining some of the uses you have found some of the more odd taekwondo techniques. Like what is the fingertip thrust for?
Sidekick to the groin is the best or another roundhouse kick to the groin. The other option is to put the upper part of your shin into the knee or thigh of the kicker.
I saw a video once yrs ago of tony jaa showing some of his muay thai stuff, and he did a butt defense for a kick. Was pretty cool. And the slid n catch is one some of the instructors I've had will teach. I have seen/heard/tried the short lunge to brace the impact when the kick come in fast. Idk how effective that is, but it seems similar to the butt block.
Thanks for sharing this. The karate part makes much sense. Pretty cool to know. In Savate, we often use most of those moves, as we can't check kicks (don't know why). So the push kick, the dodging (though we keep the stance at all time to keep balance), the counter punch - by moving inward or laterally, kick the supporting leg and deflecting the kick (as holding is also not allowed, *shrug*) is often used to avoid a direct kick.
Some video to illustrate a different way to dodge. Sorry, it's in french, but I think with the body language, the point comes across.m.th-cam.com/video/wAPQ3JttdTw/w-d-xo.html
The explanation of the reverse hand pulling isn't part of Taekwon-Do, but now I wish it was. Textbook explanation is simply to provide an Newtonian reaction to the punch going forward (not sure if it achieves that, but that's the official explanation from Choi's Encyclopedia).
All the movement from taekwondo forms were borrowed from shotokan karate and then rearranged into the shapes of the tangrams on the Korean flag. Practical application of the movements was not the highest priority going in.
For blocking body kicks you can jam it with your knee, from a knee position, but sweep it to the outside, and make contact with the inside of the other person thigh
Have you seen the old Muay Thai/ boran one where you you drop your elbow super hard on the caught leg. That one looks awesome and can be followed by a spinning back elbow to the head
@@danielpustovoyt9726 yeah you hold the leg and step through and elbow down hard on the thigh, then let go with your other hand and spin coming at a more vertical angle to poke through the guard in case they block
Something I always thought that could work (I don't do martial arts btw but I want to) is to axe kick a frontal leg kick and catch the guys leg with your own then throw him in the ground. Nice video btw.
The way of catching the leg while moving to the outside really recalled me of my sanda days. Do you think many sanda techniques can be adapted to mma? (I am maninly referring to takedown as defense against roundhous kicks)
With the second block, you can "push kick" kicks from all positions. I prefer this to checking with the shin because its less painful special when push kicking the knee or the thigh.
Hey Ramsey I watched this video about a month ago and yesterday we were drilling a combination ending with a leg kick and I don’t know why I just left my leg there to be kicked Maybe because it was the end of the night and my head was fried I didn't even think to myself “this hurts I should do something different” until I had taken about 10 or 12 leg kicks I feel very stupid now butt scooting backwards around my house So I’m rewatching this video and once I’m good to go again I’m gonna learn how to kick and check properly
I remember the first time I heard about calf kicks. I thought they were completely useless, since I could just turn my foot out 45 degrees in order to make my opponent's kick hit my shin. Didn't realize how devastating it actually was until I saw Gaethje chopping wood
Hello Ramsay. This was illuminating! Since we are talking leg kicks, can I ask you something about them, that does not relate strictly to defending? What is the difference between low-kicks muay thai style, with the leg more or less straight, and other low kicks with the "snapping" motion of a round kick (bending / chambering your knee). I suppose they are two different tools for different jobs, but I can't quite figure out the relative advantages of each.
The push kick can be aimed to the thigh of the leg that your opponent is using to kick you, but it's a technique that just happens in the moment, it's not like a shin check that you can do all day long. You can do this if you already have raised your shin to check, but your opponend delayed his kick.
I know it is late in Shanghai. You have proven to us that you read and respond to all the comments. I think that makes you loyal and trustworthy. My question is about monetization. Do you still get paid if the viewer clicks the “Skip ad” button in the lower right of the screen?
Yes Ramsay, But what if I use my chi to block??? Joking aside, fun stuff! I know its not your stick, but do you think you can do a video showing the practical reasonings behind the TMA forms, as you briefly showed with the karate/taekwando pull punch?
Please do another video on body and head kick defenses. I thank you for this video. I never new that the barelling of the the fist to the waist could be the equivalent of a jut sao jerking hand, from wing chun. Technically you used jut gerk. Jerking leg. Wow TaeKwonDo just took on new meaning. I would look for other gems on what I've been taught!
Almost everything in the forms of traditional martial arts that doesn’t seem to fit well in a striking context (Eg: pulling one hand to the waist) is not striking. It’s usually grappling, hand fighting, or weapons movement.
I'm surprised nobody does the inside leg sweep after catching the kick, in judo is called ko uchi gari, and sport karate practitioners does it all the time
Watch more fights. It happens all the time. It’s an easy way to get your back taken though unless you have an underhook, in which case you set yourself up to get armbarred pretty easily on the way down.
Nothing is practical unless you’re good at it. For example, if you don’t spend years conditioning your shins and working on your accuracy and technique, a shin check will do more harm to you than the guy kicking you.
If you’re fighting a new southpaw fighter, throw head kicks at him with your right leg until he stops bothering you. If you are the new southpaw fighter, an orthodox fighter is going to attack your lead leg in very different ways at different angles than the basic outside leg kick from a closed stance shown in this video. However, if they stand directly in front of you while throwing a right inside leg kick at your lead leg, fire your left straight at his chin, not unlike what you see with the right hand at 2:09
Hi Ramsey, I don't really know if it's the right place to ask you questions but... I live in France and the government just decided to close every gyms in my city. It means I can only practice (I'm into Muay Thai) on the wekends (like 2 hours a week, which is very frustrating.) Of course I can still do some bodyweight training, but I don't have enough room for shadowboxing. What would you recommend in those situations where one can't find any sparing partner ? I can think of many ways to stay in shape but not a lot to keep a good technique... Thanks a lot !
hey sir ramsey that low kick defense using the butt by lowering the body, is it possible to step the lead leg first, then lower the body, then using the lead hand for a stiff jab(probably twisting the shoulder to protect the chin) instead of takedowns?..
First off thanks for your videos, the question i have is is there a way to have effective foot work if you can't do the traditional squish the bug for punches and kicks? I was trying to shadow box in my friends wrestling ring that was converted from a boxing ring but we put extra padding and because of that you sink in and I find it hard to put out the imaginary cigarette. Thanks again for the videos and thank you to any one who takes the time to answer my question if they do.
Try this one ,move a little get alot ,turn your knee ,use your knee to stop his shin in the low kick not with your shin against shin use the knee to hit his shin ,you really only move a couple of inches ,move a little get alot ,he wont want to kick you like that again cos it will nearly snap his shin if he kicks you hard enough ,remember move a little ,get alot! and when you do a thigh kick use the part of your shin just below the knee ,1 to 2 inch area under the knee makes contact where the muscle splits ,and if you really wind that up you can turn your opponent totally upside down by going through both legs ,your using the part of the shin down near your foot ,,there's no power there ,well not much anyway ,, ,see the closer to the trunk means more power ,that's why elbows and shoulders are so devastating ,closer to the trunk ,it will feel alien when you 1st try to work it out but trust me persevere and you'll find a new power ,also try slap down their 1/2 punch 1st ,it lines you up for the kick nicely
Don’t be in position for a calf kick. An effective calf kick happens in one of 3 scenarios: 1. A standing fighter kicks the legs of a downed fighter. 2. Fighter A fakes an outside thigh kick, fighter B raises his lead leg to check, fighter A shoots his kick under the checking leg and targets the standing calf/ankle, sweeping his opponent. 3. Fighter A feints to one side then cuts a sharp angle around his opponent in order to kick him from behind in the calf, and/or sweep him. The defense: 1. Get up. 2. Be the one who acts instead of the one who reacts. 3. Don’t give your opponent angles like that, and make him pay for it when he tries.
Hmmmmmm are you familiar with the typical Kung Fu horse stance? Often practiced in the likes of Shaolin? By any chance is the practical application of that movement is to receive a kick? At least thats what it seems like to me when watching you suggest to take a kick to the butt. Great video as always
I think the well timed teeps and moving our of the way and countering are the better moves, but the one I would stay away from for sure is that Korean one.... do not do the korean one in a real fight!! hahaha. Good video.
I stopped doing the heel block to my sparring partners after seriously injuring a friend while doing it. It’s goofy looking, but if you’re good with it, you can break legs.
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 Heel is a super strong part of the body that's much better designed to absorb impact. Your foot is well reinforced with ligaments designed to absorb impact from the heel up through the funnel shaped tibia against a well reinforced structure of tissues and cartilage in the knee. If you compare that to the traditional check of taking lateral force on the shin(tibia), taking it on the heel is far superior.
Really disappointed that you didn't cover chi blocking in this one
That’s because I’m not a real martial artists who is able to tap into my chi like a true master. I’m just one of those poser combat sports guys.
You need to be Lv 65 to learn that skill
@@RamseyDewey You're pretty OK for an Ameri-Do-Te white belt.
I would upvote this comment, but I think 69 is a good number for the particular topic.
HADOUKEN!!
When you catch the leg kick you can also Oblique Kick the other person's knee, it's mean but effective
Yep
Better if you aim for the thigh right above the knee. The knee is a low percentage small, slippery target, especially on that kind of exchange. You’ll not only stop the kick, you’ll often get a knockdown.
You seriously halve the damage when u kick their opposite leg!
i wonder why we don't see this more often in mma , in street fight,it's the way to go , breeak his knee
You can also groin kick, but groin kicks don't work amirite?
"The butt can take a lot of damage" -Coach Ramsey, 2020.
Having said that, loved this video since my kick game is pretty weak.
P.s. Yeah, I know is 4-years-old humor, butt I don't care :D.
Humor, but is true. Man, I have broken several ribs just for hard falls on my butt 😂. My butt was fine but the force transfer broke my ribs.
Dang it, i'm two days late to comment that
I was waiting for that grab. I was not disappointed XD
The second one, where you step back is called a 'leg void' in fencing.
Often people get hit anyways, because they don't move the whole leg - either:
The foot moves back, bending at the knee, or

Your technique videos are invaluable. Really hard to find this kind of information so we'll explained

That Anderson Silva highlight was bang on the money. As soon as you explained, it was the first thing that crossed my mind
Taking power shots to the legs and thigh after a while your legs are just give out
Yep. That’s why you need to work on your defenses and counters.
I seen Bas Rutten suggested this, lean in on that leg, eat it and blast the guy. I think it works if your Bas’ durable build and style.

Hello Ramsay. This was illuminating!
Since we are talking leg kicks, can I ask you something about them, that does not relate strictly to defending?
What is the difference between low-kicks muay thai style, with the leg more or less straight, and other low kicks with the "snapping" motion of a round kick (bending / chambering your knee).
I suppose they are two different tools for different jobs, but I can't quite figure out the relative advantages of each.
Good video as always keep going
I don't know what is wrong with people you deserve more subscribers than master wong
Master Wong is an entertainer. Most people who spend their free time on TH-cam are looking for a laugh, not an education.
The push kick can be aimed to the thigh of the leg that your opponent is using to kick you, but it's a technique that just happens in the moment, it's not like a shin check that you can do all day long. You can do this if you already have raised your shin to check, but your opponend delayed his kick.

Nope.
ahh yes, the BUTT: self defence system
You should do a video on that Korean leg check. I've only seen it in movies.
I just gave you a video about it!
I like how you used the heel to block the outside leg kick, is there a way to block the inside leg kick without checking?
You can try stepping back and sweeping the front leg
Train to move with the kick and absorb/transmute the impact.
@1:35 seen that in the movie Ong Bak
What about a GSP-style Superman Jab? Or a similar switch/shifting maneuver?
Chalk that under the straight punch section
Is stepping into a closer range for maybe a clinch or inside strikes a viable option?
"The butt can take a lot of damage." Wise words!
Ramsey is one kick man. :D
Sir!Sometimes we see when a person gets knocked out he waves like a snake on ground,what is that?why is that?
Can u please tell us

i've seen the blocking technique at 1:32 used in movies before
i think it's fake or useless, and now u're teaching this move
Everyone thinks that until you heel kick the middle of their shin and then they start limping around cursing your name.
2:09 what about southpaw fighters? I'm new to fighting and I'm terrified of kicks especially the Thai fighters and their banana tree spam.

Fighter A feints to one side then cuts a sharp angle around his opponent in order to kick him from behind in the calf, and/or sweep him.
The defense: 1. Get up. 2. Be the one who acts instead of the one who reacts. 3. Don’t give your opponent angles like that, and make him pay for it when he tries.
What I learnt from this: Ramsey's butt can take a lot of damage ;O. xD
The butt can take a lot if damage he said
So no cross blocks used in kenpo techniques
If you’re talking about trying to block a leg kick thrown with bad intentions with your arm, then NO.
@@RamseyDewey thank u coach, I love the video and blocking with legs or butt makes more sense. I want my arms up protecting my face and skull
Hey coach Ramsey,i have a question for you,whats your opinion on martial artist consuming adictive substances like alcohol and other drugs?
That’s an incredibly stupid thing for an athlete to do.
@@RamseyDewey it is,thats why i want you to deliver the message in a video,some people dont realize it is.
P.S much love
where is jourdan after JX Fight Club closed?
Germany
What about teeping your opponent's kicking leg?
No.
Hmmmmmm are you familiar with the typical Kung Fu horse stance? Often practiced in the likes of Shaolin? By any chance is the practical application of that movement is to receive a kick? At least thats what it seems like to me when watching you suggest to take a kick to the butt. Great video as always
I think the well timed teeps and moving our of the way and countering are the better moves, but the one I would stay away from for sure is that Korean one.... do not do the korean one in a real fight!! hahaha. Good video.
I stopped doing the heel block to my sparring partners after seriously injuring a friend while doing it. It’s goofy looking, but if you’re good with it, you can break legs.
@@RamseyDewey how does the heel block cause injury?
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 Heel is a super strong part of the body that's much better designed to absorb impact. Your foot is well reinforced with ligaments designed to absorb impact from the heel up through the funnel shaped tibia against a well reinforced structure of tissues and cartilage in the knee. If you compare that to the traditional check of taking lateral force on the shin(tibia), taking it on the heel is far superior.
@@AdobadoFantastico but unless you're connecting with their foot, I dont see how itll break the leg.
Wait can you bust the 2 week rule dear ramsey
What’s the 2 week rule?
Nate Diaz has left the chat
That technique when he kick the butt but you catch his leg. I think khabib did that alot 🤔
It’s an extremely common tactic in the sport of MMA.
Thank you for the video Ramsey now I can fight Jon Jones and win.
If you do that goofy heel thing i will destroy your heel lol no offence i love this channel but imagine doing that to liam harrisons low kick lol
You still remind me of babish
Of what?
@@RamseyDewey th-cam.com/video/ImoP-Apzrsg/w-d-xo.html Here’s a video of him if you want to know who he is, all you need now are glasses and a apron
Seems like you'd wanna defend in a way that allows you to capitalize on an opportunity to counter meaningfully
That’s the general idea.
