Hi,
Can you give me a couple of ideas to improve my footwork/kicking combos skills?
Also, another exercises to improve my "teep" kick. What i do is pushing the heavy bag, and when the bag comes back to me,. then i hit with the kick and stop it.. is that good? any other ideas?.
Thanks |

| If you have a training partner have him wear a belly pad, and practive the drill. For combos, utilized the same with the partner wear shin guards and thai pads... |

A friend i knew had done martial arts from a young age, mostly karate then a few years of MT, in his first (and only) amatuar MT bout he was surprised that the only thing he was landing was his frount kick. The other guy had a few fights under his belt (shorts?) though. I think the karate training had developed a fast snappy kick.
But to answer your question, I would work on speed and balance first, and then power later. I find the heavy bag harder to work on, it seems 20 hard kicks on the pads is easier than 20 hard kicks on the bag. Work the kicks into combos, and practice faking punches to draw their guard high. Maybe things like skipping and sprinting to get fast feet. Boxer the boxer would be one to comment on this. |

well on yourfoot work you could practice shifting for your weaker leg it`s supposed to be that way then practice same things you learn in class like 2-5 attacks or moves or what ever and make sure you do the footwork properly and do roundhouse footworks all the attacks you know that struggle with and just practice on how your teacher in class tells you how to if you have a teacher!!  |

For footwork you can do some skip-rope. It will help you to become lighter on your feet. Stay on your toes when shadow-boxing and always use footwork in any drill. To get a great "teep" kick, try kicking a solid,stationary object. Working the heavy bag like you describe is pretty good, but instead of just stopping the bag from swinging, try to kick it so hard that it folds. When I teep, I like to hop with my support foot, this adds alot of power. Also, I like to turn my hip over and my teep "screwdrives" in where, when it lands, it almost looks like I just did a side-kick.

| The general rule is to jump rope, run, and sprint. Another good one is when you are shadow-boxing, "glide" forward and back, and side to side. Do this for 2-3 rounds EVERY time you work out. This will get in-grained into your head and will immensely help your sparring. Remember when moving forward your lead leg is pulling, moving back the back leg is first to move, and the same rules on lateral movements. |
