Sanda. Muay Thai. What are the leg methods of Taekwondo?

Leg technique is one of the most important techniques in Sanda, and it is also the most frequently used technique in the competition. Legs are longer than hands, which can play the role of being one inch longer and one inch stronger. Strong legs, strong attack, effective defense, easy to get the attack surface of legs, legs attack the opponent's footwall is more hidden. Therefore, boxers often say that the hand is the second door, hitting people with legs, three-point boxing and seven-point legs can show the position of legs in Sanda.

Leg technique plays a very important role in Sanda. As the saying goes, "if you don't slip your legs when practicing boxing, you are an old daredevil." There are four methods in Wushu: kicking, hitting, throwing and grabbing. Kicking is the leg method, and the leg method scored the most in Sanda competition, accounting for 63.5% of the total score according to statistics. Why has the leg technique been favored by the majority of martial arts practitioners for many years? Because the leg method has four characteristics. First, the legs are under the body and shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the body every day. In addition, the leg technique is specially trained, so the leg is very powerful. At the same time, the thigh has the largest bone in the human body, and the lower muscle group is also the most developed muscle group in the human body. Compared with legs and arms, halberd is much more powerful. Of course, the power of halberd is naturally greater than that of fist. Japanese martial arts circles have used scientific methods to measure the kicking power of Thai boxing players. For example, one leg sweeping is five times as powerful as boxing, and the kicking power can reach 500 kilograms. Second, the leg attack distance is far, because the leg is longer than the arm, and the boxing proverb says that "an inch is not as long as an inch". Third, the leg attack has good concealment, and the leg is below the human body and far away from the opponent's line of sight, so it has the characteristics of good concealment. Fourth, there are many changes in leg attack, high kick and low kick, which can attack in all directions. There are more than 20 kinds of kicking, kicking, sweeping, swinging and ding, as well as various combinations of chain legs and boxing legs, including low and high, virtual and real, left and right, etc., and the situation is the same and unpredictable.

Kick left: under the basic actual combat situation, shift the body's center of gravity to the hind legs, slightly bend the hind legs, lift the left leg with bent knees, including the chest and abdomen, hook the toes of the calf near the chest, push the soles of the feet forward and downward, and then push the left leg from flexion forward to heel. When the foot touches the target, stretch the hips, press the toes forward and downward, so that the force reaches the two fists of the whole sole, naturally squat down, look at the front foot before swinging, and kick the back foot. On the contrary, the right foot kicks the leg. The key points: the support leg can be slightly flexed to maintain balance, the upper body should not be too backward, and the knee lift should be consistent with the left pedal.

Side kick with left leg: standing in the basic actual combat situation, the center of gravity shifts to the hind leg, the knee is slightly flexed, the toe is abduction, the left leg is bent, the knee is raised higher than the waist, the toe is hooked, the foot is turned outwards, then the calf is kicked out, the knee is pushed, the bottom is facing the attack point, the foot is reached, and at the same time, the hind leg is straightened, the upper body leans towards the hind leg, the foot surface is visually observed, and then kicked out, and the leg falls back to the basic posture. Kick your right leg, and vice versa. Key points: When lifting the knee, the upper body turns slightly to support the leg, and the inside of the foot is almost parallel to the ground. When kicking out, the inclination of the body leaning towards the support leg changes with the height of the hitting point. The higher the inclination, the greater the inclination. The supporting leg should land with the forefoot as the axis and do heel adduction.

Left leg whipping: Basic actual combat situation, the center of gravity shifts to the right leg, knees slightly bend the left leg, knees are lifted up, higher than the waist, the left leg is slightly rolled up and down, knees are slightly retracted, calves are slightly everted, ankles are relaxed, then knees are propped up, so that the calves bounce from the outside to the inside in an arc shape, and the foot surface is flattened, so that the force reaches the foot surface or tibia, then feet are visually observed, and then legs bounce sideways, basically recovering from falling. The right whip leg is the opposite. Key points: the knee of the bouncing leg is stiff, but you should increase your strength by twisting your waist and cutting your hips. When bouncing the legs, the knees of the supporting legs should be straight, with the soles of the feet as the axis, the ground should be ground and the heels should be closed. Don't tilt your upper body too much. Muay Thai: Muay Thai legs are divided into kicking and kicking. The use of body twisting is particularly full, which makes Muay Thai's hands and feet flexible.

1. Kicking skills: Take the right leg sweep as an example. The method is to lift your right foot and twist your body to the left. The left support leg takes the forefoot as the axis, and the heel rotates inward with the left twist of the body. The right leg hits the target in an arc, reaching the foot surface and tibia. Here, special emphasis is placed on the body's left turn and heel pronation to make the body coordinate.

2. Kicking technique: Take kicking with the right foot as an example. The method is to lift the knee of the right leg to the same height as the chest, twist the body slightly to the left, support the foot with the forefoot as the fulcrum, and kick the right foot forward. The supporting feet are shaped like sweeping legs, and the rotation range is slightly smaller.

Third, Muay Thai Knee Method

Muay Thai knee method is divided into boxing knee, bending knee, tying knee, piercing knee and flying knee. Especially the most famous is the hoop neck hitting the knee. Now, take the right knee punching as an example: the method is that the left supporting heel is lifted and rotated inward, the body is twisted to the left, the ground is pushed with the left palm, the heel is rotated inward, and the body is twisted to the left, so that the right knee is rushed forward and upward in harmony, and the force reaches the knee tip. Bracing your feet is like sweeping your legs, with a smaller range.

4. Muay Thai elbow method

The elbow method of Muay Thai is divided into flat elbow, forced elbow, smashed elbow, covered elbow, reversed elbow and double elbow. Take the left flat elbow as an example. The method is to lift the left arm and bend the elbow with 7 shoulders flat, the left foot is abduction with the forefoot as the fulcrum, the body is twisted to the right, the heel of the right foot is rotated inward, and the left elbow is struck forward to the elbow tip in an arc.

To sum up, Muay Thai uses the twisting of the body and the unfolding of the heel to make the whole body coordinated and explosive. Watching boxers fight, such as kicking, often raises their heels, which is contrary to the traditional martial arts in China. In traditional martial arts, kicking is called "lift heel". But it can increase the kicking power, so boxers never tire of watching it. Taekwondo: (1) Forekick: The basic posture of actual combat posture begins.
