Expect a call from Dana soon buddy
I don't think for a second that I can rely on my Taekwondo in MMA as a striking base. On the street with a guy in front of me, totally different story.

Its 'slower', but not by much. Also there's alot of reliance on timing over speed, so the kick usually lands almost always, and its heavy. It looks light because it might be done in the opener rounds.But they do stand toe to toe and trade blows more, if you know what I mean.
I would also like to taste their power to the body. My prediction is that they don't kick as hard. Perception being that they grind each other out more. Kick slower. Tend to be flatfooted. Etc. I think their style of fighting fits me better even though my kicks are not MT. I won't be chasing them around as much. There's a great club nearby that I could pay a visit.
I highlighted you saying "There's a great club nearby that I could pay a visit" then i said "please" as in please pay the place a visitPlease what? Do you think Muay Thai guys are characterised by good footwork? I bet you I will land far more kicks on them.
Homie you need to step up on leg day bro.
You can't punch worth a damn but you can kick okay.
I have no idea why you would upload this, because you don't even take the time to get into anything that resembles a fighting stance, walk up to the bag and just punt it.

It is better than your air kicking, but still lack of understanding of the fundamental mechanics is apparent. Slow and week.
So, the kick he's trying to demonstrate here is called a dollyo chagi. It's a chambered roundhouse kick. You bring up the knee of your kicking leg, turn over the leg your standing on until your heel is basically facing in the direction of the kick, also turning over your hips and then strike the target from there.Spacetime bashing aside, what is it fundamentally that makes his kicking weak. I can look at it and see that it's not right but from a TKD perspective I can't put my finger on why
I'm not going to have a discussion with you about your kicking technique, because you have shown in the past to never take anything from anyone, even when they know better what they're talking about than you.Too fast for you bro?

Because there are other people in here that I can discuss kicking technique with.So why write in the thread?

YesDo you think any student in your club can explode into the bag like that with perfect control?

Whether it's MT or TKD, the same concepts apply. When the kicking leg is dragging the hips and base leg around for the ride, you've totally screwed up the mechanics. His base foot pivots after his kicking leg makes contact, his entire kinetic chain is literally in reverse. You're never going to get any weight or power behind a kick like that.
In TKD the knee comes straight up with the leg chambered, then the base leg is sharply pivoted over to turn over & align the hips, after which the kick is snapped out. If you watch spacetime's kick, he raises the kicking leg at an angle and starts extending his leg well before the hips are turned over or the knee pointed at/through the target. His base foot doesn't pivot until after the kick makes contact. It's basically the kicking equivalent of a weak pushing arm punch. There's so much wrong that I'm not even sure it qualifies as a TKD kick.
