Mauy Thai Roundhouse Kick
Hello, I am Paul Zaichik,
Founder of ElasticSteel
Method of Athletic Conditioning Roundhouse Kick: Today I am going to share a target adaptation,
This adaptation to Mauy Thai Kick is used for two reason One, if someone hit a wide, flat shield,
Doesn’t matter if a partner holds it Mauy Thai Roundhouse Kick: Partner holds two pads for the Roundhouse kick And the feet get in a way of a kick Thai Kick: When throwing the thai kick, you hurt your toes or
Hurt your feet I personally don’t have that problem, because I have been throwing
Snap roundhouse kicks for a long time But some Mauy Thai Fighters have that issue with their
Roundhouse kick Mauy Thai Kick The feet are further away when you do something like this That is number one for this roundhouse target set up
And number two,
If you want to feel the real leg when you throw a kick Thai Round Kick: Instead of the flat shield All this is, is a foam roller tape and shield I don’t know if they produce a target for a roundhouse kick
That looks like this Something that is actually made like this Mauy Thai Roundhouse Kick: I never seen it,
but if you train on something like this a friend of my what he did He took a foam roller, kicked it and said “I feel nothing” So he drilled a hole and put a stick into the middle of the foam Mauy Thai Roundhouse Kick: And now he hopes to progress this way He will start opening the foam for wider stick Less foam, more stick more conditioning for the leg So what it does, if you look at my foot when I throw the roundhouse kick foot does not touch But if I kick a flat shield like this My foot would touch, so there is a difference Mauy Thai Roundhouse Kick Training So a foam roller tape it to the pad And you have something that when you kick it,
Feel more realistic, feel more like a leg At the same time when you throw a shin roundhouse kick,
Your toes are a little bit safer then of course if you like you can place a stick in there however is done Increase the radius of the stick, make it bigger Less foam, more conditioning for the leg This is all it is Good tool for you to try,
