THE FIRST KINETIC PUNCH IN A CAGE FIGHT?

Ive yet to see anybody throwing any kinetic punching in the UFC but watch this space.Theres two guys from the Hustle gym fighting this weekend at the LOCKDOWN 5 MMA show. Both of them have been taught the kinetic punch.Will this be the first time we see the kinetic punch in the cage???

FINGERS CROSSED for 2 knockouts of the night!!

Lockdown 5

3 SHOCKWAVES AND THE PALM HEEL

Heres a look at keith training the three shockwaves on the end of the basic palm heel strike,each one is a step up in power,from the last and the RIPPER which is the strongest shockwave takes less energy to throw than the light snap.But the more you refine each shockwave,the bigger the step up,when you throw a stronger one,these can be added to the end of any open hand strike,refining power and building explosivness to the next level

PART 1 OF THE OPEN HAND DVD SERIES THE PALM HEELWILL BE OUT SHORTLY
part 2 and 3 are going to be on the palm hook and the slap or BEARPAW as it was once known

BASIC RULES OF POWER KICKING PART 2 THE HIPS

           BASIC RULES FOR POWER KICKING FOR MMA PART 2
                                                            THE HIPS

The hips make a huge difference in the power you generate with a kick.as you step in (rule one) you should be cocking the hips in the opposite direction of your kick,the more supple the hips, the further back you can cock them,but also the further you can drive the hips over to send the kick in as you land this makes a significant difference in the weight and power of your kick.the harder the kicker the more supple the hips and they can really fold it over and drive the leg bone into the opponent at ninty degrees,the more you turn it over as you land the more you will get a ripping shockwave on the kick.its no different kicking high or low this is a very good evercise for loosening the hips

bukaw hips fold over at least 4 to 6 inches more than most mma fighters giving extra weight and power in his kicks,driving the hips in first then letting the leg go at the last minute

Dr keith Williams Still impressing everyone at 70 with a very crisp light snapping shockwave with the palm heel

One fighter to watch out for!

 I had the chance to teach Tomasz Wojtyna a bit of kinetic punching up at the Hustle gym 

ME WRISTS!...Ive held pads for many hard hitters over the years,and theres only 2 that really stood out,both of which had at least 30 years or more training behind them,Tomasz is right there with them after only 4 years! this guy is one to watch very talented! and his kinetic punching? one of the finest examples ive ever seen!  he picked it up faster and threw it harder than anyone has!

 Heres one of his fights

BASIC RULES OF POWER KICKING FOR MMA RULE 1 THE STEP

                                                                  RULE ONE THE STEP
stepping in with the opposite foot rotated fully before the kicking leg leaves the ground

One reason to do this is to make sure your not spinning and twisting your knee with all your weight on it as your other leg throwing the kick you will lose power to the ground,if your foot jams or your on a surface that your foot doesnt spin on and your twisitng after the kicking leg leaves the ground you can tear your knee apart,and it akso causes problems though time.If your Stepping in and rotating the foot so that its in the direction your going to be after youve finished the kick,then theres no pressure or twist on the knee,Another reason is power because this also opens up the hips and creates more torque.done right its like the difference in a light shockwave compared to ripping shockwave with the kinetic punch.were you step in relation to your oponent usually about 45% also makes a difference,say if you were kicking the liver you may step in 6 inches deeper than a leg kick because. It makes a significant difference in the effect your kick has ,Heres Bas Rutten an exellent kicker explaining a little.

it also lines up the shin in a stronger postion one more reason to avoid a broken leg!

results? with a bit of precision one kick Ko power

in part two im going to chat about rotating the hips through and body torque for kicks.I can also highly recomend  Bas,s big DVDS of combat

"IS YOUR CUP EMPTY OR FULL" BRUCE LEE

Is your cup full or empty?

I always find it interesting how some people resist change, and they don’t realise there blocking their own ability to learn and gather knowledge and even pass it on.

Now imagine if I was in an gym and I said to the bloke next to me who I had watched on the bag, I can show you how to hit harder,explain a bit, just give me the chance to show you. Most of the time you will get people interested, enough to test if the claims are genuine. After all it only takes 5 minutes to hold a pad for me to answer any questions. For someone to do this is pretty normal and id say, this usually happens over 98% of the time. These are people that haven’t stopped learning and are open to new techniques. You have to be, to be successful in any fast changing or growing sport. You can’t control the flow but you can go with it and ride the wave on the front so to speak. There’s is another small percentage of guys who have stop learning ,these are often much more experienced martial artists, who could have been training something one way for years and their beliefs are fixed. And there’s almost a fixed stubbornness to refuse to believe anything new.

Many Guys have said to me something like “I believe your power is what you’ve got from the start " Your born with it and it takes many years to build any explosiveness and it can’t be taught” And most come round particularly after hold a pad! But there’s the occasional person so fixed in their beliefs that even when I offer to show them and prove my point in person they run a mile, They  refuse to even take a look or even entertain that fact, that after all these years training they could be shown something new. Most trainers know how to throw a Boxing or Muay Thai punch, I’m teaching kinetic punching it’s a punch designed specifically from the MMA gloves up, stronger positions to deliver more power, the body mechanics are much more efficient using less energy, and the strike is much more explosive because of the shockwaves trained on the end of the strike

 Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
