TuneR Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I remember an old kickboxing instructor of mine telling the class before that he was down in Thailand for a month for "lessons" and said that he just got the crap kicked out of him the whole time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Check his side kick Bloody hell, being on the receiving end of that'd be game over for 99.99% of the population I imagine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Amazing how much you could learn of YouTube free . Kind of. There is learning by watching and listening certainly, but more importantly learning by doing, interacting and being corrected by another human being is essential. For instance I can drive a car. I can watch F1 on the tele. I can even watch youtube footage of how to take racing lines etc...but in the end, it's still a million miles away from driving and feeling a car, at speed, and knowing what you're doing oh...and being good at it. Edit: re; the sidekick: Just watched his side kick, pretty nice, however... The way the guy was holding the shield was laughable. He was too upright for a start, so he wasn't rooted to the ground at all. He also had far too little weight over his front foot, therefor his flying lesson was ineviatable. And holding it flat against his chest...hmmm. I could hold that bag and he'd probably move me a few inches, and I wouldn't fall over too. I'm 5 foot 4 btw. I would hold the bag for my benefit, not the kickers I really liked the guy's kick and he had a nice upward angle to it too which always raises the receiver off the ground - if they're not paying attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice also on the kick he goes towards the top of the bag, this ensures the highest part of the body takes impact, much easier than for someone to topple over. Personally as his coming into me with that kick, I'd just swivel out of the way & straight blow to both the face & stomach... Wing Chun style.
