Great balance off the kick into right left 👌

Is throwing that right before your foot hits the ground a great thing? Genuinely curious as to what the best tactics are

Sounds like the terminator 2 music haha

the boy with long hair has to keep the tough tips straight when blocking with his shin, otherwise there is a risk of breaking if he keeps his tough tips straight but his muscles protect his shin! That was one of the first things my couch said to me 20 years ago

Things to consider, the leg check should be turned out more. Pointy shin to pointy shin. The distance was all over the place, when holding or throwing, the distance should be consistent and purposefully done. The strikers balance was off, you even see in the slow down version he stumbles. Lastly he drops both hands when he kicks, opposite hand should be close to your face when you throw.

You can’t throw a punch and a kick at the same time. You’re gonna get ragdolled. Slow it down and do it right. And get a damn haircut
