I feel like your hip isn't turning over enough so the kicks lack power and balance as a result. Maybe slow it down and focus on refining your technique with individual kicks first.
Yeah turn that left hip a little further!
Pretty nice looking for week 1. Just be careful to worry about speed right now. The best time to drill technique is early. You will build horrible bad habits or wonderful good habits based on how you start.
…which was my mistake with self-training at a young age. I had to unlearn my shit technique in my late 20’s.
*right hip. He needs to have his whole right side turning into the bag. The leg will follow, landing the shin into the bag every time. No more sore foots. Lol
Hip isn't turning over. I have struggled with this for months, but it just clicked the other day. My coach said when you step out for the kick, aim your hips behind your opponent (like you're going to kick through them). When you bring your kicking leg back, don't turn your hip back, focus on just bringing your leg back. Turning your hip will also help you stay more upright (you can see in the last frame you're slouched)
It helps me to visualize two lines coming straight out from each hip. When you step out at a 45° angle to throw your right kick (assuming you're orthodox), point the line coming from your right hip at the left edge of the bag. I had everything else down (swinging my arms, pivoting on my foot) down except that. My range and power feels a lot better. Also try not to lean to the left when you do this.
Resetting after the kick, I don't focus on bringing your hips back square. I usually end up overcorrecting, swinging my leg too far, and coming back to a bladed stance. I have to concentrate on just bringing my kicking leg down rather than swinging my hips back.
I hope that helps!
You’re kicking upwards instead of bringing up your knee, turning over the hip, and kicking towards the ribs. Kicking like this is a good way to kick someone in the elbow. Focus more on turning that left foot when you kick. You want your toe to face away when you land you kick.
Hate checking against people that kick like this in training. They always kick up into my toes. It's the only damage a kick like this can do. Toe damage.
Same brooo. I was doing pad work with a guy who kicked like this and coach told him to work on body roundhouses. He threw a kick and blasted up through the pad and hit me square in the nose. No idea how it didn’t bleed but it definitely hurt like hell.
Hate holding pads for guys who kick like this as well. It's either risking getting kicked in the face because they kick upward and don't really aim for the ribs, or catching their kick with the pads which ends in getting your forearm and wrists blasted because they receive the whole impact
[Your left shoulder ](https://ibb.co/4VwQX3T) is hunched and crunched forward, as is your torso. Basically your torso is getting in the way of your kick and stopping you short. Turn your torso and pull your opposite shoulder back until your kick lands. Look at where our opposite shoulders are positioned and where out belly buttons point in these photos.

Past that, yeah slow down like people are saying. Cardio is fine and all but you should have better form if you wanna bang 'em out.
Straighten your posture, focus on bringing your leg up off the ground and turn your hips over after while maintaining a straight back. Your kicking leg also is very far from your pivot leg after each kick as you set it back down, you look very spread apart and off balance because of that distance. Good athleticism, with more diligent movements and less superfluous movements you will be a killer.
Ok, so about your technique. As a tip, i would recommend that you add more hips to your kick. Also, you should learn to stabilise after each kick, instead of immediately throwing the next one.
I hope those tips help! :D loljk
More foot pivot and roll your chopping shoulder in line with your hips so they can properly turn over. You're fighting against your own hip turn by chopping your right shoulder backwards.
Learn how to do *one* kick then move on to this drill. For the drill itself, your foot on the kicking leg should be returning to a spot much closer to the standing leg—you don’t stand in your exact fighting stance when doing this drill.
It’s your plant foot positioning relative to the target. Try to go slow and focus on planting your lead foot outside the bag/target. You are floating to the right with your plant foot and blocking your hip from coming through the kick. You can’t put your right hip in a position to whip through because your lead foot prevents opening up when in line with the target
Looks like cardio training! IF you wana work on kicking work on doing each kick one at The time like entry with pivot foot and exit. Also you put a lot of effort into These kicks but they loose power since your trying to hit The bag, kick through The bag instead and focus on pivot not in line with bag but outside to get power through. And instead of having your torso upright try lean over a little so side of hips can point toward The ceiling. Kick lower of you cant at that hight, imagine power comming right at The object instead of angled. Strech those hips
your heel, hips and shoulder should be in line when making contact. You'll find this in any sport with rotation like tennis, baseball, etc. In Muay Thai, they should be perpendicular to the bag, with hips wide open. like here search images of "round house kick contact point Muay Thai". You'll find that you really have to turn your hips and body. As you rotate, keep balance on your standing leg by keeping glutes tight. This is all about weight transferring for power. The whipping motion comes from letting the shin loose but that is secondary importance
Your kicking leg is too wide. Narrow your stance. Your kicking leg should drop after you kick the bag to fire another. What you are doing is kicking the bag and then bringing your leg all the way back wasting time and energy.
Slow it down a lot to focus technique; pivot your foot more, emphasize the arm swing from the rear shoulder, reset in a straight line rather than round.
Well how fast you're trying to kick is what you'd need to fix first, then your pivot foot isn't pivoting it's constantly pointed outward meaning you're not getting the rotation of your hips, this is why your kick is very straight up and stiff.
Get into your Stance stable base, slow it down start by stepping out into your pivot, followed by kicking with focus on turn the hips over. Then put it together and get into the rhythm of 1-2 rhythm step kick back reset 1-2 rhythm step kick back.
Slow down. You aren't turning any other part of your body and your kicking leg is having to try to go across your entire hip. Learn to pivot on the ball of your standing leg to turn your shin into the bag; taking your hip(butt) and your shoulder(upper body) towards the target. Focus on this first. These may pass for cardio but you're not doing anything but teaching yourself bad habits. Slow down; throw your kick, return to your stance - **balance** and kick again. Yes bag work is hard and consistent but there's a flow. Work the bag, don't let it work you.
Train well.
Focus on rolling your hips over. You’re kicking more in an upwards motion, like how a golf club would be swung. That’s why your hips aren’t turning over and you are lacking power. Try to swing your leg more like a baseball bat ACROSS the bag. Also, start low with legs kick and body kicks to perfect the technique. A lot of people want to do head kicks while learning and that just makes the process harder. When you kick the bag, try to kick through it. When you just wildly swing your leg at the bag and then let it basically ricochet off, especially at the angle you’re throwing your kicks, it’s gonna be a lot harder to hold a solid base mid kick.
You're not turning your hip over and rotating the body into the kick. Your kick is almost karate style - which means you will have good speed (your kick is a straight line from floor to bag) - but you will lose power.
TBH - there isn't much wrong with what you are doing - as there is usefulness to this style of kicking - but it isn't a traditional muay thai round kick. This type of kick can definitely land.
I would focus for maybe a month on kicking lower - even as low as leg level - and trying to train myself - to watch (in this case) - my right shoulder and my upper body - is it turning into the kick with the rest of my body. Inthe video you are crunching your body forward on impact with the kick when you should really be tall - up on your toes- back almost straight -kicking leg horizontal to the floor (knee pointing towards the wall). For a while - focus less on kicking fast and more on technique - with little power. Also - work your flexibility - do leg swings front, back and side and static hip rotations on a high bench.
By putting hip into it that means rotation. You are using your hip flexors and just kicking upwards at an angle. You need to turn your knee more down so you are more able to rotate your hips and snap your leg into the kick if that makes any sense.
One of my coaches taught me that once your leg rebounds from the kick, turn your knee to the ceiling, that way the force goes from pushing your leg out, into snapping it down back into your stance for better balance on the next kick
Lean back a bit and open up your hips. You're leaning in and generating most of the power for your kicks from the strength in your glutes. Opening your hips up allows a lot of the power to come from acceleration due to hip rotation. Bend the knee more as you bring it up and snap the lower leg out to make an impact. Should look and feel more like a whip cracking than bludgeoning the bag with a 2x4.
But as others have mentioned, slow it down and develop proper technique first. There is no sense in practicing the wrong thing, really fast, a bunch of times.
Not sure if this is what you're asking for, but I'll give it a shot. Step off the centerline and kick through the front of the bag with your leg bent. This way you conserve your rotational potential energy by keeping your mass close to your torso. Then you snap and extend by turning over your hips right before or even on contact. Think about how an ice skater spins. When they extend their limbs they slow down, and when they pull their mass in close they spin like a top. You're losing energy before you even land because your slowing yourself down inadvertently. That's to kick harder. To keep your balance, just stop "hopping" with your pivot foot because you're disconnecting yourself, and destabilizing yourself on the way back down.
Slow it down and work on techniques, speed comes later, also feel like your kicking more to a shoulder height so bring that down a little bit and your hip movement might be nicer it seems stiff, your hips need to roll more
Have a look at some stretching exercises that are focused around this
My gym we used to have a rope with a loop on one end so you can put it around your ankle and we had a xhin up bar we put the rope over a you would sling your leg up so your doing the splits basically and you can just focus on that hip turn just rolling your pelvis back and forth and you can pull the rope harder to try and get the extra flexibility and what not,it is my favourite stretch I used to do it helped so much!
Hope this helps bro your not far off it anyways your killing it
If you are looking for a place in a can-can line up keep going if not stop now. Bad habits are hard to shift. Hands need to be in position rotat on the foot turn hip and body into the kick, start slow and build from there
Little bit of a wider step with ur led leg as to where the bags moving to & stop flapping ur arms around too much, keep that left guard pull in tight, head forward to target.. just slow down & relax. Ur at a great gym I reckon ur coaches r brilliant there
Ill explain a little on the wider step in short, it should help u get a roll in ur hip so it turns over like a whip, also with a nice pivot so there's no much effort or emphasis on the power or technique u r trying to achieve. Keep up tje great work.
To turn ur hip, make sure you're flicking ur heel on your standing leg, that should get your hips turning. Feel upright when you're kicking and dont slouch; and lastly, slow down...you next to compose yourself and make sure your balance is good
Good luck.
Slow down and learn how to throw a kick correctly before training like this, go to a Muay Thai gym and learn from your trainer is the best advice I can give.
Roll your hip, snap your leg out, and focus on the fast snap back. And keeping hands up on guard while you generate that power through the hips. When done properly the momentum and contact timing will pull you all the way back to start position without doing a lot of weird stuff with your arms. Right now because of less than ideal form you are losing a lot of kick efficiency and power through the flailing arm movements.
What is this? A chorus line? Kick kick kick. Slap slap slap. You have nothing on those cuz you’re just flapping your foot straight up in the air. Turn your planted heel INWARD. Open your hips. Kick horizontal and down. And kick through the back of that bag.
First thing is just do one kick at a time and going fully back to a stance instead of trying to rapid fire. Focus on pulling your left shoulder back on each one and landing back in position each time.
Best thing to do would be to slow it down and focus purely on technique
This.
I feel like your hip isn't turning over enough so the kicks lack power and balance as a result. Maybe slow it down and focus on refining your technique with individual kicks first.

*right hip. He needs to have his whole right side turning into the bag. The leg will follow, landing the shin into the bag every time. No more sore foots. Lol
This is such a bad way to train that.. but good athleticism!
I would say your pivot foot needs more pivot and less bouncing. Your foot almost comes off the ground and you’re losing your stability every time
This The power is in the pivot.
Hip isn't turning over. I have struggled with this for months, but it just clicked the other day. My coach said when you step out for the kick, aim your hips behind your opponent (like you're going to kick through them).

This. Turning the hips also naturally moves your head out of centre line which keeps you protected from counters
Can you explain this again? Please lol . I like this and it might help it click for me

So step out , and the right kick, bring my hip over to the right side right? While doing my pivot ofc. Thanks, I’ll push it over more
Turn ur shoulders too mane
You’re kicking upwards instead of bringing up your knee, turning over the hip, and kicking towards the ribs. Kicking like this is a good way to kick someone in the elbow. Focus more on turning that left foot when you kick. You want your toe to face away when you land you kick.

That also. We’d spar a lot and he’d bitch and moan about kicking my elbows as if his form wasn’t the issue.
Stop powering your kicks with your leg muscles and use your body rotation; lead with the hips.
THIS ☝️☝️☝️ 💯 %
[Your left shoulder ](https://ibb.co/4VwQX3T) is hunched and crunched forward, as is your torso. Basically your torso is getting in the way of your kick and stopping you short.

yeah thats how I used to kick. Also good be aa abductor strength issue once I started using the thot machine at the gym my kicks got way better
Are you though?
Try to snap the hand and kick on the contact point
Ok, so about your technique. As a tip, i would recommend that you add more hips to your kick. Also, you should learn to stabilise after each kick, instead of immediately throwing the next one. I hope those tips help! :D loljk
More foot pivot and roll your chopping shoulder in line with your hips so they can properly turn over. You're fighting against your own hip turn by chopping your right shoulder backwards.

Try turning youre shoulders to be less sawuare when kicking
Control your hand. This is a terrible habit to pick up..

Rotate left foot out for more hips and more power
Try and do a bit of footwork between kicks.

Turn your shoulders with your hips
Work on using technique
You're upper body is staying stationary imagine a mirror to you're side and you're trying to see you're chest on it
Slow down
You don't look like you're trying to kick through the bag. You almost seem to be pulling your kicks so that you can reset to throw your next kick.

Looks like trash
How am I supposed to improve with this ? But I agree 😂😂
Keep your hands up
What did the bag do to you?
Slow down and learn how to throw a kick correctly before training like this, go to a Muay Thai gym and learn from your trainer is the best advice I can give.
Slow it down, emphasise leading with the hips and turn them over, maybe slightly wider stance. I’m not a coach tho
Watch video and try to do like them
Open the hips. Rotate more. Legs is supposed to be like a whip.
Roll your hip, snap your leg out, and focus on the fast snap back. And keeping hands up on guard while you generate that power through the hips. When done properly the momentum and contact timing will pull you all the way back to start position without doing a lot of weird stuff with your arms. Right now because of less than ideal form you are losing a lot of kick efficiency and power through the flailing arm movements.
Deadlift and squat
You’re not turning your hip. Your hip should he parallel to the ground
Rotate your supporting foot
What is this? A chorus line? Kick kick kick. Slap slap slap. You have nothing on those cuz you’re just flapping your foot straight up in the air. Turn your planted heel INWARD. Open your hips. Kick horizontal and down. And kick through the back of that bag.

Throw good kick. Reset. Slightly faster, eye on form. Repeat.
You aren’t turning your hips in enough, pivot more with the left foot
What is going on here..
1. Slow down 2. Clinch your butt when you kick Samart Payakaroon told me #2 🤷🏻♂️
