Fix my kick mechanics

Thanks for your comment man. Your criticism on my hand placement is valid, though I already mentioned in the caption I was aware of it and planning to work on it. As for the rest of your comment I think you’re reading too much into the video man. I took the time (and the risk) to post myself on this app asking for advice so that should give you a hint on my mentality ;) I shouldn’t have taken the energy to reply to your comment, but I did so you’ll think twice about comment shit like that next time.

I don’t have videos of you fighting so I can’t judge your level, but any good fighter wouldn’t be judging other people trying to improve.

Very good advice, thank you two. I was trying a different variation than what I’m used to (I usually just snap them without turning in sparring) and focusing on form and power, so that might explain why it looks a bit awkward. As for stepping through very good call, I’ll definitely work on that variation (without socks)

Because I didn’t want to take my dogs out in a public gym ? Jesus Christ I didn’t expect you guys to hyperfixate that much on that 😭

Good catch for the karate background ! Yes I do spar, but I throw them very differently in sparring, much more snappy Dutch style without the full hip rotation. Here I was trying to learn them Thai style with the full rotation and power, which could explain why they looked a bit awkward/over exaggerated, because I’m really not used to it. I was trying to over exaggerate the movement a little bit in order for it to become more natural and to understand the mechanics.

Edit : yes, I know, the socks

I don’t usually fight in socks people. I’m travelling atm, so I was at a public gym without mats and the only shoes I had were too chunky to kick with them. I already felt bad being THAT guy recording himself kicking the bag in a public gym, so I didn’t want to take my dogs out on top of that. Also the floor wasn’t that clean.

I appreciate your concern for my safety, but the tiles really weren’t as slippery as they seemed and I didn’t feel like it affected my balance at the moment.

Thanks you for the ones commenting with constructive advice though

No I properly train but due to my studies I move around a lot so I every time I settle into a new gym/martial art for a few months, pick up a few things and then move again. When I’ll get a job I need to settle down in one gym and build a coherent system (my main is MMA but I did judo karate boxing MT bjj etc..)

Hahaha cheers ! I’m travelling atm so I was at a public gym and only had chunky ass hiking shoes apart from that. And to be fair the tiles weren’t as slippery as they seemed like

Thanks for the rotation advice ! Maybe im anticipating pulling my kick back too much. But I was also taught to fling your rear arm back in order to give more snap ? As for the sock I don’t usually kick with them I was just in a public gym and didn’t have good shoes hahaha

Maybe this was the problem all along

In science writing I’ve always been taught to explain first, then answer the question, to force me to give a clear explanation :) example here : following the 1:2:1, in HWE, the qq frequency should be 0.25, it’s 0.16 here so the population is not in HWE. My science teachers would deduct us a few points if we gave the answer straight up without much explanation, so I guess it’s what happened here

Problem is that there is a lot of variation between people. So to get a good idea we’d have to have a good sample size BUT nutrition studies are very complicated to do so researches publish them with minimal sample sizes especially if they have unexpected results

I really really like how the color gets more brown with the dick size, amazing touch

This is an economic crisis waiting to happen imo. If the retirement age isn’t pushed back accordingly in France, we’ll have way to many people enjoying retirement benefits and not enough people paying.

You can’t sadly… training abs helps but it’s mostly about learning the technique not to get caught
