Well it's trolly the troll, trolly gonna troll
And yeah the "elbow" is there for adjusting balance, it's more the hand/forearm actually, the elbow follows
A good exercise if you're flexible (some people aren't at all) is to kick your hand/slap your leg/kick, at tibia level, as if you grabbed the face of your adversary with your palm (reversed) to slam it on your kick, same hand same leg
It naturally helps you find the right form/balance and it's a good habit, if a head happens you be in the trajectory of the hand all the better, while that's not something you actively attempt to do https://pic8.co/sh/RzzeIv.jpg
I don't need a lesson, dude. I was just using his wording to let him know he is wrong. I know it's the lower part of the arm.
Ultimately arms can remain almost idly https://pic8.co/sh/mSa9HL.png
True. I can also keep up a guard while kicking. It depends on the situation and kick. But if I'm trying to cause as much impact as possible, I'm turning my front foot damn near to 9 o clock and letting my rear leg fly with as much force as I can generate
A good supplemental exercise that I do is put my foot on something waist level and do a single leg hip thrust. Then I do focused kicks at leg level on the bag. Repeat for a few sets and go higher on the bag each time.
I'm shitty at explaining it rn.
>I do is put my foot on something waist level and do a single leg hip thrust.
Yeah it's good stuff, reminds me of the "", I do that for lead leg mae geri/front kicks at belt level, connect the foot, then bang, connect the foot, then bang
And I normally superset that with isometric/ explosive exercise. Hold your fist against a wall at the beginning, middle, end of a punch under isometric tension for 3-5 sec. Then hold a 2-4lb medicine ball and "punch" it at the bag. Catching it before it hits the ground bonuses as a coordination exercise.
I mostly do shadow boxing and hard surface kicking (old boat) with construction shoes (front/straight kicks mostly, circular can turn dangerous with those shoes). I don't have equipment except a pull up bar, a jump rope, and a barbell I use like a bo staff (basic left/right/left/right crosses like strikes at torso level like a madman, for both power and stamina, some basic spins, old and spin at arms length). I don't go to the gym, too much NPCs on spinning wheels. The rest is classic, pushups, series of jumps, nothing fancy just moving stuffs/dynamic stuffs. Because the main problem of body building is "staticity", like you train your body to remain camped during effort, that's not a good habit and that's what the body will reproduce during stressful situation, like combat. But I have nothing against power training, to be clear
I just kick the bottom of the heavy bag for shin conditioning. And I tap and roll myshins with a wooden dowel when I'm sitting around watching tv or chilling.
Power training is definitely not the only thing I do. It's to supplement my training. Which I'm going to have to grind out hard since I've been sick with the jewflu for a week. Rolling and sparring is going to suck balls the first week or two when I go back. The docs said I'm not cleared until the 14th.
