#Sidekicks are EASY after watching this 🦶🪵

[lobstereleven]

Very good way of teaching the technique! Makes it relatable to something basically everyone has done! 👍

[tomdrahos]

Good to see the broom come out, respect the dojo 🙏🏻

[ThePartialArtist]

That's almost exactly how it was taught to me. It's an excellent analogy!

[CaffeAddict]

What you did right is opening the standing foot, meaning the standing foot almost points to the opposite direction of the target instead of sideway. Lots of people fail to do that and that restricts their kick, especially if it's a roundhouse. The standing leg is very important. If your standing leg is wrong, your kicking leg won't be right. With a roundhouse kick, failing to open the standing foot will constraint your hips and prevent your pivot.

Sidekick has been my go to pretty much 100% of the time whether it’s in the ring or on the street. It is the first place My mind goes to always control the distance.

[McBummly]

Love the videos! Really been helpful and been inspired by watching your vids to be healthier and just learning more

[AianTrtur]

I love sidekicks, especially if you ever end up in southpaw and get rushed, a side kick with your dominant foot is a great option. Very good distancing kick with some serious power.

[HondaBoyKato]

Very well done, very clean, the whole foundation of the kick was there and well explained. Awesome work

[CldBroccoli]

Nice. Looking forward to your wilderness/martial arts survival channel premiere. 😂

I think sidekick lowkids are kinda underated.

I mean not only are lowkicks a lot Harder to catch and also riskier you also Get a whole lot of distance.

Bear in mind shane is using the blade of the foot tkd style, ive found that some do this naturally, or rather thier anatomy looks like they doing that, sometimes telling people to expose the edge rather than heel, they can kinda over twist and ruin the technique, experiment and find your angle

[lunhing]

Any recommendations for a heavy bag holder please 🙏

[allstarlord]

I started training Sanda again which goes heavy with the sidekicks. I need to work my left leg

[andreroyal]

Can you try capoeira we have great kicks that helps a lot in Muay Thai and I’m talking from experience

[BrazFencil]

Yeah that’s maybe how Chuck Norris breaks wood but I mostly jut see people kinda stomp on it

[markstillman]

You’re good at blading that foot mine always tend to land flat on the heel or balls

[sargun]

Hey, i hope you're doing well. I would be grateful if you could answer me some questions please. I am 18yo right now, wanting to pursue mix martial arts. The city i live in doesn't have any kind of fighting gyms or schools. im gonna move out of this country next year, untill then i wanna maximize what i can do before joining a mma gym in Canada. So what should i focus on until then without any guidance or training facilities. There are only normal weightlifting gyms available where I've trained to get stronger.

[MUSCULAR_DUOLINGO]

It seems like you're making contact with the blade of the foot. Is there any reason you do that rather than using the heel?

[TheEpicDartfish]

My hips hurt too much to kick any higher than half way, any tips?

[Someguy-oitf]

My problem is not executing the technique of a sidekick, it is just so hard to land on people without telegraphing.
