Dinamics of the mauy thia kick

[Rock-fght]

ok, Im not in a muay thia class but I think I have the kick down. but then I dont..

 

Can you guys give me a low down on how to do it. I know its hard to explain it in words but maby if everybody gives some advice mabey I can peice it together

 

Mauy thi kick;

• I start at a kickboxing stance (left foot forward)
   
  step diagonaly with the left foot, toes pointing to the side
   
  I swing myleg in a wide ark with the leg at a 90+degree angle
   
  at this point my shoulders are already turning
   
  Next, my shoulders have turned pasted pointing at my target
   
  then the kick is annitiated and my base foot is on the toes
  

Should I use my hip flexors to put more whack in it?

 

Should I do it like a soccer player like when they like bend over when they kick and stuff?

You should go and join a class and get instruction on proper technique, a lot of self taught practitioners build bad habits.

 

Here is my pointers to you other than the go get an instructor.

 

Make sure you roll that hip, and dont come up onto your toes on the rear foot, come up to the ball of the foot. You dont want to snap it, your going for power on this one so throw the kick from point A (the ground) to point B (the target) like your swinging a stick or bat, leave the snap out of it.

 

Good Luck

Hi Rock-fght

 

Shane is right on the money with that last post.

 

Good luck with your MA training.

[Rock-fght]

I dont get it.

 

if i keep my leg straight through the whole kick that makes it look sloppy, slow, and it dosent seem very powerful.

 

I do need an instrucktor. but I cant find one around Lakland FL.

[Shane]

You really need someone to show you and explain it.

 

You dont want to keep the leg straight, you need a slight bend at the knee, use the rolling of the hip just prior to impact to increase power by slamming your leg into your target and dont worry about how it looks. If you watch muay thai kicks compared to other styles, they dont look pretty, but thats not whats important its not about looking fancy like some of these snap kicks its about speed, power and pin-point accuracy.

[Rock-fght]

HRRRRM.

 

all these fighters in the kushinmail liike seem to be chambering befor the impact? are you sure you keep your leg starit the whole time?

[SevenStar]

I don't think I'd call what you are talking about a chamber - that is just the natural bend in the leg when are propelling a fast, hard kick - it's not intentional, and therefore not a chamber. Also, notice that the leg doesn't re-chamber. If it were a chamber, it would have to re-chamber to be correct. Not everybody does it, either.

 

Don't worry about looks.

 

If your kick is slow, you need practice. You may be doing something wrong, or you may just be slow. This is why you need a teacher.

 

How old are you?

[Rock-fght]

15 yrs

 

I think I know what your talking about now.

 

the chamber is where you make impact then snap it back?

 

that would make more sence to me.

I hope this will help you.
