Sylvie's Technique Vlog - Rising on Techniques (6 min)
Added 2020-01-19 10:15:32 +0000 UTCMy technique vlogs are real world updates on things I'm working on as a fighter. They aren't demos. Instead I'm sharing with you things I find interesting, often things I've learned from legends and great krus in the Library, and then have taken into my own practice. Maybe you'll find them interesting too! Above are my thoughts about rising on techniques.
You can see the rise I'm talking about in this slow motion of Karuhat's kick:
you can watch the Karuhat video here
The rise was also taught to me in the teep by Charnchai in a coming Library session detailing the art of the teep, and by Chamuakpet whose 2nd session is also coming where he will focus on this vertical, sky-piercing knee. All three legends of the sport use this strongly rising foot.

What I find interesting as a beginner is I do this naturally, but trainers with foot planted theory want to train it out of you... So interesting which is why I love your content with so many different legends. I can find a style that works with my natural movements. Thanks.
2020-01-22 23:35:19 +0000 UTCIn Namsaknoi's youtube channel (from when he ran his gym) there is a clip of a drill for building strength and balance in the roundhouse kick. It's the same setup as the drill you showed a while ago after training with Arjan Surat where you simulate a caught kick by posting your outstretched leg on the ring and hopping on the standing leg to maintain balance. However, in this one you squat on the standing foot as low as you can, going flat footed, and then stand all the way on your tiptoes while maintaining an upright posture the whole time. My calf and foot would cramp right up, especially the formerly injured left one. I have improved quite a bit but going back to it there is room for improvement. Especially the left is lagging a bit and I think it correlates to my right round kick being slow to get off the floor. Our trainer will also have us get on our tiptoes just as we impact. It's a cue he doesn't put consistent emphasis on but along with following the preserve the legacy project it stuck with me as an important point. If I'm being honest it felt more beautiful compared to the overemphasis on rotation you see in kickboxing training of the round kick.
