Kicks at the fight

[kingoftheforest]

Tell us what happened the last time you were in a real fight.

Not really the topic here is it?

Which rule?

Keep up with the conversation, it's in print.

I imagine since it's effective it's against the "rules".

Which rule?

[jubaji]

Last time I was in a fight nobody "let" me do anything to them. Least not in any real fight.

Really black knife this should have alerted you to the fact that KOTF has no idea about how MT actually works.

Regardless of what your misguided opinion is


Go ask any medical professional what would do more damage to your leg/foot, kicking with the shin, the top of the foot, or the bottom of the foot?

Or you could just go watch videos of MT guys breaking their legs on other guys legs on youtube.

Try and keep a weapon trained on someone while you're doing a roundhouse kick.

How do you kick in a door? Do you use your shin? NO. Do you use the top of your foot? NO.

Why, cause you'd break your leg if you did. Common sense doesn't seem to apply when all your experience comes from a dojo floor pope.

I dont' know where you get the idea of kicking with the shins is not good.

If you're kicking with the top of your foot like TKD or MT then you gonna break all those tiny bones in your foot if you hit anything solid with some force.

Intentional destruction is not SPORTING.

I am asking, if you do

Sorry the punctuation denoted it as a statement.

Yes if I am in a range where I can punch and kick at the same time, then I will. Give them more than they can defend against and they'll fold.

that doesn't nullify the physics of what said.

[kingoftheforest]

you do it in combo with punches

As for kicks to the thigh, I can kick you with the bottom of my foot faster than with my shin, and do more damage, have a better angle and gain more power, with less effort.

That's where I get the idea that shin kicking is not good.

Yes in Thailand and Cambodia where everyone fights the same they have been doing it. Why do you have ridges on your shin? From constantly damaging the bone?

Sounds like it's not healthy, and any doctor will tell you so.

I have no ridges on my instep or the bottom of my foot, nor the ball of my foot.

As for kicks to the head, unless he's down already no thanks. As for kicks to the thigh, I can kick you with the bottom of my foot faster than with my shin, and do more damage, have a better angle and gain more power, with less effort.

Hmmmm......the side kick to the leg. I wonder why nobody else is doing this especially in MMA.

Maybe if it is shin versus shin but kicking someone's thigh or neck will never break your shin. I have plenty of ridges on my shins from years of hitting things with them but never broke one. I dont' know where you get the idea of kicking with the shins is not good. They have been doing it in Thailand and Cambodia for years.

Kicking somebody with a round kick is good if the person you are fighting is not moving. However if he is coming toward you the kick will lose its effect if he jams you. Now straight kicks such as a TEEP are perfect because they are quicker and if the person closes in on you still can at least push him back and set up another attack. In Muay Thai we use the shin as our kicking surface so do a lot more damage when hitting soft tissue. Now if the guy you are fighting has a MT background too then you are not probably going to kick his legs because he will check your kicks but most people don't know MT so I don't worry about that. For the street I would rather use teep kicks, knees from the clinch, punches and elbows. I would avoid using round kicks because like I said earlier they are only good if the person remains in one spot and they also can be grabbed easily.

I agree with most of this except, if you're pushing with the foot you are not generating proper power, and second shin kicks are a good way to break your own leg on someone else's.
