ITT your shin turns into your kneecap (UFC)

do you know what the title of that show was? That seems like a really interesting hour of television.
it was from the MMA special but there was also one called like "ultimate martial art" or something and a special forces one and a self defense one
they are definitely worth a watch
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

HIS LEG OH FUCKING HELL
this was my initial reaction also
i was unaware that bones could gellify on contact.

those legs were pretty skinny though
if you watch that leg before the actual kick that broke it, there are a couple of moments where it looks like it's gonna give anyway

And the post fight interview from that OP video reminded me of the Buckwheat is dead sketch from old SNL.
"Have you seen the footage of it yet? Lets roll that"
What you would do is get your face beaten in.
Look at those hamstrings....mmmmmmMMMM

This is funny because Matt Hughes is possibly the most arrogant human being on earth in person and kimbo slice is a dude's dude.
IRT to weaver: No, you hit with your shins. That's how you do it. big bones break less than small bones. The shin breaks less then than the feet.

IMBALANCE

What? You've met them both?
I dunno I'm just going by what I've seen in interviews and stuff. Also his loss to JSP

That depends on a lot of things. And in reality, hitting a shin in the right place can crack it pretty easily if you haven't trained it exactly right. It's like breaking a board held on both ends, the middle is unsupported and snaps with a little pressure.

I haven't met Kimbo personally, but one of the other staff members at bullshido has actually hung out with him quite a bit and says he's a good dude.
I really want to hate brock lesnar a lot for getting jumped straight to the title shot, but that's more dana white's fault I guess. I have to give it to brock - he's been able to demonstate quantam game raises in the space of six months several times now. I do think his real skill is cutting weight, but that's another thread.

On the Kimbo/Hughes thing, no idea about Kimbo, but from all accounts, Matt Hughes is a dick. The Ultimate Fighter, interviews, his book...great fighter, but I wouldn't care to hang out with him.
I'm going to go with my dozen years in martial arts, my mma coach, and my muay thai coach over "Fire Truck from the internet" on this
Sorry
Yeah, there's times and places for kicking with the instep and there are incorrect ways to hit with the shin (learning these angles is what people who think they are "deadening their shins" are really doing) but in general you don't round kick foot to body for fear of hitting your footfull of tiny bones on a knee or shin.

Which I have done, hence why I will never, ever, ever kick with my foot again.
Are we talking about hitting with the top of the foot? because yeah, that can break a lot of bones pretty easily if you, say, kick a dudes knee. Hitting with the ball of the foot, though, I would argue is safer than kicking with the shin.
I'm sure defender will be here shortly to tear into me.

You have to flex your calf to do that, which shortens your kick and keeps you from unloading your hips thai-style, and you have to hit a small target with a small tool. Those guys fight all day, dude, they have thought of these things.

Not sure about the safety, but the amount of force you'd be able to put behind such a blow and hence the damage it would cause would be far less than a solid swinging shin kick.
And Steve Cantwell is a pyscho. It just doesn't seem right to giggle about breaking a dude's arm and talk about how you've been wanting to do that since forever.
get your ass kicked?
Admittedly, the art I train in doesn't use kicks that frequently, so that has definitely effected my thoughts on them. I'm sure muay thai or any other kind of kick boxing using kick in a more utilitarian manner has better ideas for kicking in general situations.
What is the "thai-style" of hip movement? We seem to do alright using our hips with a flexed calf.

See, this is exactly what we do, just with the ball of our foot (unless we have an open shot at, say, the abdomen or other relatively soft part of the body).
I apologize if I sounded like I was saying shin kicks are useless. I just don't believe from what I've been taught that it is safer than kicking with the ball of the foot (though it's definitely better than kicking with the top of the foot).
Of course, I would be unlikely to ever kick above my knee in an actual fight.

The unique geometry of the muay-thai roundhouse, the reason it's responsible for so many knockouts and is a quantum advance on the order of the turn of the century development of the lead hand jab, is that the hip flexors roll completely over before the quads flex hard, creating a spiraling motion between the hips and the knee that causes the shin to hit in a ballistic fashion
See how in this picture the knee leads the shin, and the shin's going to crash down on what the knee passes?
Now compare to this picture - the toe is much harder to swing behind the knee, because of the calf flexion and the precision required to hit with the ball of the foot.
There are people who have been doing karate for 20 or 40 years that can kick very hard with the instep or balls of the feet, and there are uses for those kicks - getting an extra six inches toward somebody's face or the thigh of their planted leg, for example, or in a system designed strictly for self defense where you're going to be wearing shoes if you use the kicks - but exchanges to the lower body are going to be dominated by the thai kick - it's hard, fast, simple, and defensive.
You will break your toes using a bare-foot toe kick in hard contact eventually, though. Nobody is really good enough at bending their toes out of the way. By NOBODY I mean everybody but the senseis and sifus who taught the varous TKD blue belts reading this to kick that way, of course.

Unless you're kicking Tyr Anasazi, out of Victoria by Barbarossa, of the Kodiak Pride.
Well obviously not then.
Yeah kicking a dude wearing spines along his arms is bad news!
