Lyoto Machida fought Randy Couture in UFC 129 last night. The entire card was pretty amazing except for the main event with GSP.
Anyhow, Machida knocked out Couture using a jumping front kick. The Crane technique from Karate Kid.

I see so many people use the front kick/teep as a disrupting technique, or push,
or set-up, rather than throwing it to cause damage.

yep now that three whole fights have been won with that kick i predict that guys will be coming out of the woodwork saying thats how they train their students to kick and why on earth dont more fighters use it........The last silva fight he had a similar kick on belfore.

not for nuthin, but it's a basic kick that everyone does. I did it in TKD, TSD, Kung-Fu,even in some WCK classes. Everyone has done this. Not everyone trains MT, or Kickboxing.yep now that three whole fights have been won with that kick i predict that guys will be coming out of the woodwork saying thats how they train their students to kick and why on earth dont more fighters use it........
So, yeah. Everyone will be saying they train it, because most people do.

my personal take on such issues
all techniques should have the POTENTIAL to injure, but never assume a single technique will do damage. A chinese coach once compared an axe to a razor blade. If the axe never connects, but what if the razor blade makes 10,000 cuts?
Notice also that Machida IMMEDIATELY follows up, as did Silva, ie didn't assume the kick alone had done the job

Couture has been taking dives since he said he was gonna quit and dw forced him to honour his contract.
after taht it was Lesnar, he fell and every fight since, Couture has dived. I think he even dived his last round with Iceman.
He doesn't care and Dana is a goof. Their bad relationship = Couture diving for his contractual obligation fights.
Kung Fu is good for you.

Someone put up a video of it saying "this is in our XYZ set and proves our style is best" pretty f-in patheticyep now that three whole fights have been won with that kick i predict that guys will be coming out of the woodwork saying thats how they train their students to kick and why on earth dont more fighters use it........

It caught Randy by surprise, no more, no less.
Much like Silvas also.
A powerful front kick is a basic kick, the fact that it isn't used as much as it can be just increase the likely hood of it catching someone by surprise.
