Don't drop your hands when you kick.

Head movement and your teep seems to be a bit slow and heavy. Other than that it was pretty decent. If you want a little better advice when you make another video make sure we can see your feet since that is so very important. Umm just a personal preference, but when you are kicking I really like keeping my offhand up a bit higher in case we are trading kicks or blocking a punch. There was one part where you were swimming your opponents leg out of the way and I felt you reached a bit much for it. Try to C-frame your body up a bit and delay your parry so you arent leaving yourself so exposed. Hope this helped!

? he keeps one hand up to protect his chin - the other is dropped just to gain momentum. If you keep both of your hands up while you kick there will be no power in it.

Overall I thought that you looked pretty good. I like to have my fighters have constant hand movement, just to be that more elusive. Also, throw a kick right after you throw a punch so that they can't be telegraphed as easily. At about 1:50 into the video I seen that you tried to shuck away a body kick with your hand. Thats a big no, just twist the waist/hips and flex your abs. In a perfect situation your elbow will be right there afterwords. Keep up the training man!

Drop one hand when you kick for momentum and keep your other hand up to protect your chin. Just like one other person mentioned...You don't gain much speed/power when both hands are up.

Watch the way any K-1 fighters kick....they usually drop one of their hands..

Good advice! "but when you are kicking I really like keeping my offhand up a bit higher in case we are trading kicks or blocking a punch. " I prefer reaching out with the same hand as the leg you are kicking with and pulling myself through the kick. Not to mention, it works as a range finder and makes it more difficult for your opponent to come inside when throwing the kick. Works really well if you throw alot of crosses high, opponent will naturally lift his hands and leave his ribs open when you put the arm out. Also, when you throw your cross (and it looks real good) bring it back to your chin, not your chest. Looks good brotha!

Your hands are low alot..i think its just from fatigue..dont be in such a hurry..focus on your technique not your power..good crips punches are what you need..do not need to kill the pads..not what they are for...Your hip isn't coming over as much as it should on your left kicks...not all your fault as your pad holder is holding them a bit high
