Can anyone give me some tips or pointer on how to throw muay thai kicks more effictive, thanks |
stay on the front ball of your kicking foot. push off and keep leg straight coming across swinging THROUGH your target. if you miss target(person) you will basically spin around or jump over a foot or two...whatever you feel comfortable with. the reason you spin around or move over a foot or two: there is no half way to this kick. ALL or nothing. you don't snap this kick out....it takes all you legs and mostly hips totation.. I'm no veteran but i take MUAY thai. practice OVER AND OVER till your leg falls off.

Mine was with a Friend I hadn't seen for years and he wanted to go at it. I wasn't use to fighting TKD dudes at the time and just stuck to my guns and then he was able to Land one of his kicks I though ...Thats it??? It seemed like he put alot of effort into it so I though it would be effective but nonetheless it wasn't. Anyway Long story shore I won Very easily and it made Matt feel bad wich kinda bumed me out Because he put alot of years and devotion to his art.

TKD puts too much focus into kicks that arent used for maximum power.
most TKD guys have good accuracy
but unless your retarded, youll move away from the kicks that will break your nose, knock you out, or hit you in the solar plexus or testicles.
plus 2 legs and shitty hand technique

moral of the story, all the fancy training in the world is no substitute for practicality
