Unless you’ve conditioned your shins to the level of checking a low 9 or 10 w/out pads, I’d suggest getting the fuck out of the way, which is what he’s trying to show for you ppl talking shit.
You guys suck! Stop trying to sound like you know what your talking about!!! Just cuz youv been in a MMA gym once or twice so far and youv watched a few fights doesnt make you an expert..wheres your fuckin video on this? Everbody thinks there a “Ulitamate Fighter” now and they post comments saying the video is wrong..STFU! Ultimate Failures!!!
You have to be kidding me with these critiques of Duke’s teaching. He is the younger brother of one of the best American kickboxers ever (Rick Roufus) and a great fighter and trainer in his own right. He has trained lots of amateur and pro fighters, so unless you’ve done the same, shut your piehole and listen.
For someone thats got videos of themselves playing tunes from video games on a piano, you sure talk a good fight. Hows about putting a video up of something a little less geeky before you shoot your mouth off?
Trying to envade my Muay Thai kick like that, puh. I will stil hit your from that distance.
Block a Muay Thai kick with your arm? Good way to get it broken. and forget about checking with your shin if you have zero training and conditioning in Muay Thai. The idea is to get out of the way or switch feet and maybe prepare a counter attack. You have to be aware how much power that kick can generate and how quick it can be thrown at full tilt. Shins and a steel cup prevent groin shots and or stray kicks.
That guy SUCKS…-_-
NEXT..!
He did evade completely, the striker was already fully extended.
At 1:15 he could have gotten the kick in the nuts. When you evade, make sure you evade completely.
With your leg or your hands? If with your hands, that isn’t a good idea.
or u cud just block it xxx
The evasion is supposed to make the opponent miss and leave him off balance like the dude in the video. It’s not likely he would miss the kick and recover fast enough to take you down or punch again before you yourself could move
Exactly, as topiashakur said it is hard if not impossible to take someone down after you have just put everything into a low kick…lol dumbasses.
nar your both wrong.i’ll tell you’s why.gaathlain when you low kick,theres so much momentum going into it,when you evade it like this the momentum of the kick either carries them around or the least they have to bring there leg back to there stance which takes longer then the evade because all your doing is puting your lead leg back and then right back forward again which you can do very fast which is why fighters use this evasive technique so much
rick rufus his brother becom the hate of a thaifighter,and his legs were destroyed
Well needless to say anytime bone hits bone theres the possibiity of a breakage. Guys in MMA get broken hands, broken arms, broken legs all the time just from blocking strikes.
I’ve also seen a few vids of broken shins from a check.. I never knew of a broken bone from checking.
this move is better than checking the kick. It puts you in a good position to sprawl if you need to defend the takedown. I rather move away if I can then block. I’ve seen lots of broken bones from guys just blocking a shot.
this sets you up for a takedown and you have no balance after, i’d just check the kick
Yah I was thinking that blocking by raising the leg would be easier and safer, it kinda looks like you’re asking to be knocked out or taken down after that evasion.
know one is that fast two pull both legs back because the kick is faster then this guy puts it
Hi! how are you? thank you for posting the video? I would like to buy the DVD, how do I do that? I went the website but couldn’t find it.
thank you
all beginner must see,not for intermediate&advance stage.
I guess i would rather block a right kick. The stance you are in after evasion is very bad isn`t it?
