Indeed !
I am sure next time his ego won't get the best of him.

Luckly it was only sparring and not a real fight :D

Still, while the responsibility to tap is on the guy locked up, in sparring the "locker" also has to know WTF he is doing.
That was needless.

I recall the first one ever posted, when the guy went to put his foot down and his leg turned to noodle.
It was a tad disturbing.
Which was the last of your links.

There's been a few of those actually.

Typically, you wanna kick IN at a 90 deg or DOWN, never up, the reason being that kicking up makes you hit with the flat of the shin and not the edge and the blocker will be blocking with the edge....

That's gonna leave a mark !

I think her leg break came from "shear" stress factors, not impact.

Bone conditioning is a "mix bag", it really hard to tell if you are conditoning the bone or desensitizing it.
I would assume...

Just went over the Bas rutten dvd and some other one's I have in regards to the round kick "without" the pivot.
I put without in quotations because they ALL pivot ( some more than others), the...

No need, I know what you are refering too, seen Bas do it in person and in his Big DVD of Combat.
Not my personal fav whay of doing it, but I was taught the round house from ITF and learned the MT...

The uselessness of BS aside, yes Bas does advocate the same thing and a few others too, yet the pivot is always there. no matter how slight, or you get a Shotokan Mawashi-geri and who wants that...

To anyone that can show me how they roll their hips into a kick without pivoting on the support foot.

How do you "roll" your hip over without the pivot of your support foot ?

Freak accidents happen, no way to prepare for them.

Not really applicable to this thread though...

Hmmm, no matter how conditioned, a simple look at the anatomical weakness of the shin bone tells us that hitting with the flat part rather than the edge, is not a good idea.
Sure if all it hits is...

Nice move, BUt his foot is angle wrong on that clip, I assume because he isn't really kicking, on this one you can see the correct angle of his kicking foot and how the low kick comes IN and never...

I would have said the "no-shadow kick" but then all the Wong nutriders would throw a fit !!

I think he is refering to the triangle kick a cross between a front and a round kick.

The videos show low round kicks being blocked by shins, not cut kicks, not body kicks.

I have never heard any decent MT coach tell you to kick "upward" on a low round to the thigh, I did how ever...

All to true, hence the RIGHT way has to be drilled and drilled and drilled and on harder bags and while I understand the need for shin guards when sparring, the bad habits they create have to be...

The break usually happens when the kicker kicks in an "upward" angle making contact with the FLAT of HIS shin bone on the HARD EDGE of the blockers shin bone.
That is why good MT teachers teach to...
