Re: Arm swing during round kick

How to kick… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIb_6uIvuig&feature=related

He doesn’t really get started until about a minute into the vid.

Looks like he drops BOTH hands. Might weigh a buck-twenty but would definitely make me cry with one of those kicks. That trainer was highly annoying.

Re: Arm swing during round kick

Pornsenah fights at 126 last I saw.

Saenchai, who is one of the all time greats is fighting American Kevin Ross at Anaheim Convention Center in August on a card that feature some other prominent Thai’s. Baukaw was suppose to be on the card as well but isn’t :o(

Re: Arm swing during round kick

I didn’t want to post another thread on round kicks, but is there any difference between keeping your leg straight when throwing a round kick, or bending the knee when throwing it?

Also with footwork, in a Thai kick, you step and pivot, but in a Krav round kick, you don’t. Is there a reason for this?

Re: Arm swing during round kick

in muay thai you dont always step and pivot….its just an easier way to move the hip. A Krav Maga kick is a Krav Maga kick.

Re: Arm swing during round kick

Well, I mean, style aside, just mechanically speaking, are there real differences?

Re: Arm swing during round kick

I like Geoff Thompson example in this video. Starts at about .55 seconds.
More geared towards self defense. Not going to get any style points from martial artists but it’s quick.

That’s actually Peter Consterdine kicking. GT is in the video, but he’s not the one kicking.

The venue and date for the Saenchai vs Kevin Ross fight has changed to Aug 14th at the Commerce Casino in LA. This is a 1200 seat venue and all seats are good…Think of watching Ali in a small venue….i’m there. Kevin Ross besides being arguably the best of Americans in MT is responsible for getting his ex GF involved in the sport. Her name is Gina Caranno (SP) of Strikeforce fame

Re: Arm swing during round kick

Wish you were here too Ryan. It would be cool to meet you

There is a bunch of fights with top thai fighters coming to the LA area in the next few months starting this weekend. Saenchai’s August event has Coke fighting as well. In early Sept Baukaw is here on another thai laden card. There is sometype of fight league starting up with top thais at the forefront but I’m unclear on the details as its all second hand but i think this is the start of it

the other thing is a lot of the schools in Thailand are adding cages and the fighters are starting to train mma because of the money or so I’ve been told

Not sure what it has to do with the op other than it’s an opportunity to look at what the top guys do, explore why and then question if it’s applicaple to the street and why.

Every so often one of the older kru’s will pull me aside and show me something that is more street applicable. Mostly because I’m way beyond ever being able to do the sport

Re: Arm swing during round kick

In my MT class the head kru tells us sometimes it is best to just extend your arm straight out when you kick. This give you an extra barrier of defense against an attack or wall.

So if you throw a right kick then your right arm extends outward at the same time in a straight line.
This is a different way than just bringing your right hand down and past your hip.

Just what my Kru said.
