- How to knock someone out with one kick.
(deep exhaling) (metal clanking)
(dramatic music)
(people cheering)
(people chattering)
(woman yelling)
Now as you can see from those clips
some of these guys got knocked out by a high kick,
usually to the head.
And the guy was moving around
and suddenly someone kicks here,
poom,
from there.
Or sometimes kicks like that
to the head
and the guy gets knocked out.
Or some spinning back kick.
That's okay.
I'm not that flexible.
And the problem with a high kick,
if the guy is good,
if I try to kick
and Jason moves in to me,
just move right in,
moves in,
you can see,
I'm off balance,
I'm done.
If he's a good puncher,
if I try to kick
and he hits me in the face,
boom,
I'm done.
It's very very dangerous.
So I believe the safer way of doing it,
even though I missed a kick,
I'm okay.
So to knock someone out with one kick.
Sometimes you see in a couple UFC fights,
in Jeet Kune Do,
Bruce believes in kicking the guys' knee.
Or the groin,
but in this case let's talk about the knee.
And you can do it so many ways.
In this case,
because Jason is wearing his protective gear,
you can see,
I won't go too much 'cause it's very very easy to break.
It doesn't take a lot of power to break,
so when you're practicing,
please be careful.
Make sure you have your shin guard.
I recommend those hockey pads type shin guards,
it's best.
From here.
You can see,
even if Jason is trying to punch me,
can't reach.
Can't reach.
And it's a very good set up.
So if I want,
boom.
From here.
So I'm using my hip,
boom
and from there
I can finish the fight.
Finish the fight
with one.
Sometimes you can just kick the guy
and that's it.
(groans)
It's done.
Or sometimes
you could see the angle,
if you have practice and conditioning
you could also kick.
'Cause it's very easy
when you kick someone here.
It's very easy to drop him.
If you kick someone here,
right?
Like if you actually hit him,
he'll go (groans)
it's natural human response.
Knock him out here
or groin,
right there.
Guys you know what I'm talking about.
Getting socked in the nuts.
Boom it's done.
End a fight with one kick.
Groin shot.
But the important thing is
you need to practice non telegraphic motion.
If I'm looking at Jason's knees.
He knows I'm gonna kick it.
Naturally.
But if I look him in the eye,
then you don't see that coming.
If I look him in the eye,
boom,
he doesn't see that coming.
Now I'm flicking it
but in reality it's not a flick
it's a stomp.
So it's more like that.
But when we practice,
just flick it.
Just flick it.
But in reality,
if you're looking at this,
it's not a flick.
This is a flick.
See?
(metal clanking)
It's a stomp.
You can hear this.
If you imagine that,
going to someone's knee,
you're gonna knock them out.
Either a side kick.
Side kick.
Front.
Could be that.
Could be like this.
Oblique.
Or even here.
From the side,
you can break someone here.
Now I'm not gonna kick,
I'm just gonna push.
Jason's gonna tell me how it felt.
You see that?
- Yeah.
- I'm just pushing it.
But if I'm going full power,
you'll break someone's knee.
And then if I miss,
imagine
if he avoids my kick,
he avoids my kick,
right?
I'm still okay.
So if I miss,
he moves,
I'm here.
Then I can do my other techniques.
So that's how it's goes.
Practice well.
Practice often.
And I'll see you in the next video.
