Mastering the Modern Self-Defence Technique of Low Kick Strategy
In an era where understanding self-defense methods is increasingly paramount, modern martial arts, specifically Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), propose varied strategies for self-protection. A brilliant exemplification of this is the “Cripple Your Opponent with this Low Kick Strategy” video, expertly delivered by Jeff Chan from the MMAShredded YouTube channel. The essence of this self-defence technique isn’t merely about overpowering an adversary, but channelizing your strength in a controlled and focused manner. During the 9-minute tutorial, Jeff Chan precisely conveys the nuances of low kicks, a technique he shares from his personal repertoire, taught to him by his coach. Contrary to the more traditional focus on upper body attacks, this approach amplifies the effectiveness of the often-underrated low kick. Rooted in the fundamental principles of body hardening and brain safety, this technique is not just about the fight, but also about ensuring self-preservation. A Controlled Yet Powerful Approach Chan emphasizes that the strikes to the head during a fight must always be super controlled and pulled back, especially in training. Indeed, it’s a critical aspect of this low kick technique that separates it from more reckless styles. It shifts the focus to hardening the body and safe guarding the brain β a critical organ that takes alarming blows in uncontrolled combat. By honing your physical toughness via the low kick strategy, you also develop a more sophisticated understanding of your body and it’s extraordinary resilience. Evidently, it’s a technique that is as much about learning to handle blows as it is about delivering them. Effective Utilization of Low Kicks Undoubtedly, the crux of this tutorial revolves around the competence of low kicks. Often deemed inferior to high kicks, Chan enlightens disciples on their indispensability in self-defence. They are not just disorienting for an opponent, but also much safer to execute without throwing yourself off balance. The elegance of low kicks lies in their specificity β targeted at weakening an opponent’s legs, they have the potential to cripple an opponent. While head strikes can cause more immediate and apparent damage, the stealth nature of the leg strikes can evoke sustained pain, effectively incapacitating the adversary over time. Real-life Application This low kick strategy is evidently practical and applicable in real-life scenarios. It’s not about winning a match or scoring a point. Instead, it makes you resilient, helps you endure body blows, and manage head protection. In conclusion, MMA is not just about physical prowess, but also mental toughness and strategic discipline. The release of this low kick strategy tutorial by MMAShredded and the popularity it has gained, with over 82,000 views, is proof of the increasing interest and necessity for effective self-defense techniques in modern times. With the guidance of experts like Jeff Chan, the sphere of modern self-defence through the lens of MMA continues to evolve and reach new heights of effectiveness. Incorporating this low kick strategy into your self-defence tool kit will not only empower you to protect yourself in precarious situations but will also ensure you do so in the safest, most controlled way possible.MMA Block

1:57 I've been told in training not to kick on the knee, lit bit more of power and you could have injured that guy…
Have you ever been dropped by any of your students? Should coaches also spar during the session?
Your conduct was garbage in this video, and so are you. Your students are clearly too scared to kick you back just as hard, but you just kept going, didn't you? Does it make you feel powerful to go hard on someone who's too afraid to return fire?
Well the students won't be able to walk straight for a week
πMan you chopped down some trees this sessionπgreat low kicks as always, great work, Bravo ππΌππΌππΌπͺπ€π₯π₯
That #3 is nasty. Is this really something that coaches do? I had a sparring match with my Muay Thai coach a couple months ago, he said "let's go light", it was not light. It felt like he was out to get me, I noticed that he was attacking my rear leg, and I fight soutpaw. As well, I ate some hard teeps that definitely stunned me but I was surprised that after wards it was my leg that was sore and bruised not my stomach. I guess my core conditioning paid off but I had to take a week off due to the left leg.
Those kicks where very painfull to watch, I know for a fact that when sparring those pads still feel very hardππ
The black guy at 07:30 is annoying I absolutely hate when we are sparring and someone is yelling so hard. Just take it easy with your voiceππ
I'm very surprised by the students' performance. Their level of boxing would suggest a much higher overall level, and yet they were dropping hands to catch low kicks all the time.. a blind spot?
Honestly your videos are so amazing. Your tips are so good at every level. When you get more experience theres layers between layers of knowledge you can pull from in multiple watches. Like damn that double step low kick is cheating sometimes ππ
βWhy is coach recording our sparring?β Get the ice packs ready boys
Do they spar with cups on? I kicked a guy in the nuts once on an inside leg kick lmao so now I donβt throw those cause Iβm not planning on competing anyway
At 07:00 Jeff just punches his thigh π
Can you make another video with your favorite submissions. I canβt find the video where you showed how to do an armbar from mount which was one of my favorites before i stopped for a few years
jeff be like "they shall know pain" π€£π€£π€£
Imma try this move on my juniors π€£ basically i'll try to bully them π€£
Cool it was really cool…ππ»ππ»
You were practicing kicking rear leg and they were practicing eating it. LOL. Who fall first, skinny or thick legs?
I felt all of them leg kicks, and im not even fighting, its the limp you get after you have finished hahaha love the vids!
Nice move, just need to watch out for others knees, I saw 1 land on the knee (1:55 – or it was just me?).
π
is there a break down of how to set up for this kick?
Lol
for me the better way of dealing with these kick are the kyokushin fighter they march forward and lower the stance so the impact kind of goes on the kicker, but obiously is the harder way because that means having an iron leg, is more practical to sweep or check.
Yo, Mr, Chan, how do you feel about raising the leg to check a kick, opposed to aiming the shin at the kick while keeping both feet on the ground for mma?
Would love see you fight again bro
You are the low kick master
That was fun to watch π₯π₯π₯
Hey jeff, any groin cup recommendations?
I really know how it feels to get some low kicks or jabs second by second even I sparr with active fightersπ π’ You know the next is comming but you can't defend…it sounds so easy but it isn't. Think it's the difference between professionals and non professionals like me. Amazing vid Jeff
Low kicks are awesome and all, but it's nice to see that I'm not the only weirdo that punches the opponents legs, like you did at 7:01! xD
Hey Jeff, love ur channel. Jw, have spar/light spar with Micheal jai white?
Hmmm… I get it, but… Dude, love you and your content; but , π it seems like you wanted an excuse to legit push around your students. I've trained since 1980, yes I'm old AF, but have never had an occasion where any of my coaches, or myself has ever felt the need to "bully" a student. Even if you think they needed a "lesson". I'm also a military guy, and the same applies.
So checking kicks or teeps were not allowed? Just wondering, cause after the 3rd lowkick ur goal was pretty clear π
hey there MMA Shredded Jeff Chan dude those low are a problem when I use to spare with my friends they use the low kicks as tool to step other stuff and at the time I did not know how to check low kicks they are awesome and very deadly as well
8:32 perfectly cut scream
They gotta learn how to check kicks, great video tho
The person I spar lifts his knees to the part where I will kick so if I kick the rear, he will move it to the left or right. How would I counter this? because the people I see in this video are only blocking one direction kicks.
