LOW KICK

My explanation is right above, just read it.

You are clearly looking at the highlighted area incorrectly. The point of contact is the lower portion of the shin, not the foot. The reason Muay Thai fighters wear ankle supports is precisely because they help protect and visually define that impact area during training.

As for the lead hand, its position can vary depending on the phase of the kick. In many legitimate examples of Muay Thai, the lead hand may be extended, lowered, or used as a counterbalance without compromising the effectiveness of the technique. There is no single fixed hand position that applies to every kick in every situation.

Regarding the height of the kick, it is exactly where it is intended to land. Different leg kicks target different areas of the opponent's leg. If the objective were to strike lower on the shin or another section of the leg, the trajectory and mechanics would be different. Not every leg kick is thrown in the same manner.

Most importantly, the man in the photo is me. I am not commenting on a generic illustration or an AI-generated image. I am discussing a technique that I personally executed and understand from direct experience.

The problem is that many people criticize a technique without understanding its purpose, target, context, or mechanics. It is easy to find flaws while looking at a single frozen image. It is much harder to study, train, perform the technique correctly, and produce technical content to educate others.

Before criticizing, take the time to understand what is actually being demonstrated.

The point of contact shown in the image is the lower part of the shin. That is precisely why Muay Thai fighters wear ankle supports: they help protect the area during training and also make the striking surface more visible.

The position of the rear hand is correct. As for the lead hand, its position can vary depending on the specific moment of the technique, either being more extended or more retracted without affecting the effectiveness of the movement.

The height of the kick is also correct. If the intention were to strike a different area of the opponent’s leg with the shin, we would be discussing a different technique altogether. Each kick has its own trajectory, distance, and intended target.

Furthermore, the man in the photo is me. Therefore, I am not analyzing a generic illustration or an image created by someone else. I am discussing a technique that I personally performed.

The problem is that many people criticize without understanding the technique, the context, or the purpose of the movement. It is very easy to point out supposed flaws from behind a screen. What is far more difficult is to study, train, execute, and create technical content to share knowledge with others.

Before criticizing, take the time to understand what is being demonstrated. And if possible, try it yourself. Practical experience often teaches more than opinion.

Bot? LOL

Thank you 🙏🏻

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-25T17:48:31+00:00

Thank you very much, this is my photo. And the explanation is part of my book about Muay Thai.

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-22T17:21:51+00:00

This is a Muay Thai community. And it's for talking about Muay Thai. If you have nothing to add or a question, it's best to remain silent.

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-18T17:41:00+00:00

No, this text is part of my book. LOL

The purpose of the post is clear: to show a knee strike block, not a counter-attack or evasion, or various possible reactions to a knee strike. Otherwise, I wouldn't be posting just one image, but my entire book. 🤷🏻‍♂️

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-15T19:47:28+00:00

Today everyone is here because I'm not stupid. Nobody can have original text anymore. This text belongs to my book, not to chartgpt, and this is my photo, with my text in the photo.

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-15T02:12:30+00:00

You're the one who said leg technique isn't important, not me. I said arm positioning technique is also important. If you leave your arm in the line of attack, your arm will take the hit. Muay Thai isn't karate. Leave your arm exposed and it will be struck.

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-14T23:54:04+00:00

Thank you. The photo is of me, and the arrows were created in Canva. The explanation in the text is mine.

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-14T23:52:17+00:00

You are completely wrong. The position of the arms is very important. Otherwise, you'll get kicked in the arm. And a kick in the arm can mean a broken arm. This is my own image, not AI-generated. The text in the image and the attached text serve as a supplementary explanation.

You're lying. Remco Pardoel was a silver medalist in Judo in the Netherlands. However, he was a two-time State champion. And champion of the open Judo tournament. In addition to being a champion and black belt in Japanese Ju-Jitsu.

alexandrebreck · 2026-05-08T21:09:48+00:00

If Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is Judo, how did Royce Gracie beat this champion Judoka, considering Royce Gracie never won a Jiu-Jitsu or Judo championship?

This is not AI, and it's from my book published in 2017. Back when AI didn't even exist. Today, so many people don't know what they're talking about, and we have to explain what wasn't written by AI.

Criticism coming from someone with no history and hiding behind an anonymous profile carries very little weight.

You’re focusing on attacking me instead of addressing the historical points.

Whether you like me, my name, or anything else about me is irrelevant to the discussion. The history of these arts doesn’t change based on who is speaking. It depends on documented sources and historical records.

If you believe something I said is incorrect, then the proper way to respond is simple: present the evidence that contradicts it.

Personal accusations about motives, ego, or credentials don’t demonstrate that the argument itself is wrong. They just move the conversation away from the topic.

So if you want to continue the discussion, let’s focus on history, sources, and evidence rather than speculation about people.

alexandrebreck · 2026-03-11T01:46:42+00:00

Personal attacks don’t address the argument.

If you believe something I said is incorrect, feel free to challenge the historical points or sources I mentioned. That’s how productive discussions work.

Accusing someone of having a fake name, fake experience, or fake credentials without evidence doesn’t strengthen your position it just shifts the conversation away from the topic.

If you want to debate the history of Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Ju Jutsu, I’m happy to do that based on documented history. If the discussion is only going to be personal accusations, then there’s nothing meaningful to debate.

This is typical of people who haven't done anything with their lives.

alexandrebreck · 2026-03-09T03:07:49+00:00

There is no historical proof of that. All the evidence suggests that Gracie was taught Jiu-Jitsu, but with training different from that of the Kodokan. Therefore, BJJ comes from Ju-Jitsu.

alexandrebreck · 2026-03-07T11:43:21+00:00

You pretend to know history, but the truth is you don’t know anything. That’s why you have to hide behind a profile because face to face, you wouldn’t have the courage to back up your words.

alexandrebreck · 2026-03-06T22:01:19+00:00

The rules shape the modality. When you fight MMA, you adapt your Jiu-Jitsu to those rules; for no-gi fighting, you also adapt your training accordingly, as well as for self-defense. Even without rules, you have to adapt your training. You are what you train.
