side kick

[windwalker099137 167]

" a lateral side kick thrown from a karate stance with a rotation that professional trainers have analyzed and confirmed is fundamentally different from anything in traditional kickboxing. Shorter, more direct, arriving at an angle the brain can't process in time. By the time your body says "block," the kick has already landed and your body says "too late." When your kick has its own name, it's no longer a technique. It's a sentence. "

Yeah her kicking is awesome!!!

She definitely has that kick down. It gets in quickly since it's fully cocked, the whole leg being horizontal. But I think as opponents become more familiar with it, they will learn how to stuff it or stay out of range till they can attack offline or otherwise counter it. Her punching seems good, but she'll still need to expand her repertoire.

Yeah, they’ll learn how to stuff it. Hanging a side kick like that might be okay against a mediocre fighter, but not against a fairly good one.

The last gal she fought, the narrator said she had eight wins and nineteen fights. That makes her 8-11.
8-12 after that fight.

There was a time when the toughest dudes did TKD.

Stephen Thompson changes his kick to prevent that.

Any idea why they put that weird image of the hyper-masculined (probably Ai-generated) “opponent” on the I video clip, implying this little girl fought and defeated her? Nobody even remotely resembling that person was anywhere in that video. I see that kind of image on these YouTube videos all the time. None of them are true. It’s just weird.

Any of us that use a sidekick as a fighting technique do that. We have to. A sidekick was my bread and butter technique for over thirty years in striking competitions.

I was fortunate to have a lot of really good instructors teach me sidekicks and the many ways to throw them.

Wierd as all get out.

Yeah, I guess. Spent twenty years at war with TKD guys in New England. They started it.
Haven’t practiced it in years, was a Sa Dan in TKD back in the day. (4th) Got there just to fight with them. It was all good and a lot of fun.
No hard feelings, just some minor scars.

Speaking as a one time TKD guy in Worcester and Boston..many moons ago……THAT WAS YOU!!!!

Dunno, maybe to show hyper-opposites.

Probably AI-generated, as some have mentioned.

Had some interactions with this type of style long ago in Germany while I was in the military.
The practitioner, a Tang Soo Do exponent who fought in some of the kickboxing venues of the day.

He used to keep one leg up, similar to the video, and had a wicked spinning hook kick. He also practiced Hapkido.
If he didn't catch a person with the kick, he would close the gap and finish with a throw or lock.

 

[Xue Sheng128 3]

Picture is definitely AI, to peak your interest, a bait and switch kind of thing
Side kick is nice, but hang it out there like that, old school, sanda, or MMA, would take your other leg out from under you. But then, this is not an old school, sanda or MMA match

We’ve spoke of this before. Mike O’Malley and Master Jae Hun Kim were something else all together. Master Kim, a class act of class acts, trained under TKD’s founder.
Kim was non political, fluidity in motion and kind of scary as to what he could do. And Mike was just Mike. Down to earth, just a regular guy, and, man, could he fight.

I loved stopping up there to talk chop.

Talking 'chop'. That made me laugh.

For a very small man, Mr Kim was darn fast and had incredibly powerful kicks.... I think I told you before about the Mike O'Malley, Mr Kim, heavy bag incident....that happened in his Worcester school...I was mainly there, but later did go to his Boston school for a bit, after Worcester was closed

I was told, although I do not know how true this was, that when Mr Kim first came to North America and started teaching, that others in the TKD world were not happy about it. And he took challenges... and didn't lose...but true or not, the man was damn skilled...no offense to Mike, but I like it better when Mr Kim taught.

I was just a kid, but it seemed to me that Mr Kim was outside of any TKD issues outside of his school. Wish I trained in Boston longer....

the sign, I remember that... I especially remember the silhouette... I think that was on the patch on my Gi... I shall have to go check, I still have that Gi.... I doubt it fits... but maybe...I mean it has only been a bit over 40 years since I wore it

He has so many schools now, last I checked.

have found on these high kickers that go to the head, if your timing is good and you can get under that kick you can throw the kicker right on his back.

This is generally true, except against an expert kicker. And in this particular case, due to the kick being halfway there due to its cocking position, the kick can go high or mid without telegraphing - in the latter case, catching you in the head should you go in low.

@Buka
it is on the patch on the gi
