Had an absolute blast working on this project for Well Go USA as a #HiYAHPartner, to let world know about the Hi-YAH! platform. For those who don’t know, Hi-YAH! is a streaming channel that has a huge library of action and martial arts films through the decades. For many of us, martial arts films have had a huge impact on our lives and, to be honest, has definitely shaped the lives of my friends and I to this day. I hope you enjoy our tribute to martial arts films through the genres and go check out the Hi-YAH! channel, streaming on Prime Video, YouTube, and at www.hiyahtv.com!

High kicks but bad flexibility/mobility? There is a way (kind of)! You do actually need some flexibility but we can get away with a few high kicks without having a nice straddle split by primarily utilizing hamstring flexibility.

Going down fancy-kicks lane with a part by part progression for the tornado-cut (sidekick) to skip turning hook kick. I’d say the biggest takeaway is to land the tornado-cut kick in a loaded position (base leg bent) so the transition into the skip hook is smooth. The tornado kick setup I am using in this is a switching/defensive setup but any style is fine ✅

TAEKWONDO vs MUAY THAI

I’ve teamed up with a great Taekwondo practitioner, @hwarangsam, to compare 12 techniques and show how Taekwondo and Muay Thai approach them differently.

Some are very similar, while others are completely different in how they’re executed….and that’s what makes comparing the two styles interesting.

A few don’t really have a true Muay Thai equivalent, so in those cases I’ve matched them with a technique that attacks a similar target area or serves a similar purpose.

TAEKWONDO → MUAY THAI

1. Rear Leg Roundhouse → Rear Body Kick
2. Skip Roundhouse → Switch Kick
3. Skip Roundhouse → Sliding Body Kick
4. Sliding Sidekick / Cut Kick → Side Teep
5. Double Roundhouse → Double Roundhouse
6. Crescent Kick → Face Teep
7. Axe Kick → Jumping Down Elbow
8. Back Kick → Long Knee
9. Jump Back Kick → Jumping Knee
10. Turning Hook Kick → Reverse Elbow
11. Tornado Kick → Fake Roundhouse → Rear Body Kick
12. Flash Kick → WTF 😂

So these aren’t meant to be exact one-for-one matches….just the closest Muay Thai comparisons in terms of movement, target or application.

Although I’ll admit… the final one was slightly harder to match 😂

Huge thanks to @hwarangsam for putting this together with me.

Which comparison did you find the most interesting? 👇

The OG Taekwondo fighter Kim Kaphwan has arrived to “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” and I’m here for it 🙌.

We’re going through some of Kaphwan’s techniques and breaking them down where we can. FULL video, including some history and piece-by-piece technique breakdowns, on my YouTube channel (link in bio) so check it out to hear my thoughts (and fanboy shenanigans) on the FIRST Taekwondo video game character KIM KAPHWAN.

Mini kick session 🙌 it’s been a while and it definitely showed while warming up these kicks 😮‍💨 On one hand, it was discouraging to feel the rust, but on the other hand, it was encouraging to see I could find my way back again.

Use it or lose it! Gotta keep up with the consistency ✅
