Looking for you tube video

[opr1945]

Okay, here goes I am looking for a you tube video. It is of a woman rapidly kicking a punching bag. I sort of recall that it is a standing bag, but might be a hanging bag. The woman appears to be slender maybe 5'6", I am not good at judging these things. She is on the right side of the screen and the bag is on the left side of the screen. She is kicking the bag either with her shin or foot. Rapidly! Like several times a second. Repeadly! One foot/leg several times. then the other, then alternating. For some reason I think she had on a black outfit, maybe not. Not a very long video. But, many kicks. Thanks, OPR1945

Well, I haven't found it yet either. But...I did find this;

Lots of energy expended here........for an old overweight guy.

Wow, he’s quick!

 

[Buka]

Yeah, no.

I haven't found the video I was looking for. But is is similar to this one, the part where she is kicking the bag with
alternating feet.

I had sort of given up on finding the video. This isn't the one I was looking for, but it is similar.

What's the significance of the video you're looking for? Is there some point it relates to?

 

[opr1945]

Yeah, I was going to say that I thought her speed was impressive. Understanding I am a newbie to all this. However, I wonder about the force/impact these kicks would have in a self defense situation?

I saw another video where a 5'5" woman was punching a 6'7" guy, trying to knock him down. But he just stood there, appearing not to be affected by her punches.

Sorry, I forgot to add the commentary to the original post, and it is too late now to edit it.

So it’s her ‘speed’ that impresses you? You know, I read Playboy for the excellent articles.

It seems to me that she’s not really kicking through the bag and thus not exerting much force. She’s using the impact of one foot tap to push off the bag and reorientate her body and bring her contralateral leg into position to apply her next foot tap. I feel certain those foot taps could quite be absorbed by a would be, aggressive opponent.

Having said that, I’d rather watch her doing this than any serious martial artist doing their stuff.

Jesse goes to a top MMA coach who explains the importance of that type of speed kick training and other MMA tips.

Afterwards, Jesse does a MMA fight. At 23:53, Jesse's "karate instincts kicks in" making him "predictable" and Jesse loses by TKO.

Yes, she’s going hurt you, but she is a world champ.

You realize the film is speeded up, yes?

You realize the film is speeded up, yes?

Or is it slowed down?

Wow, he’s quick!

Cheeky.

...continuing on with effectiveness of woman's kick (sort of),

I did not choose this one because the smaller person is a woman, but because of the size difference in the combatants. Perhaps a better illustration would be of Steven Seagal vs. many of his opponents. Steve is 6'4" and #240. How much of his dominance was due to his size rather than his skill as a martial artist (aikido)? I know there are videos of smaller opponents prevailing (

).

It appears that size does give an advantage, but it can be overcome. comments?

Avoid his mass. Don't get deep in his grasp. Control distance. Attack vulnerable points.

On the other hand, I've seen sumo wrestlers giving up 100 pounds of weight and often win. Excellent technique can overcome many (not all!) situations.

You mean , ‘do karoddy’, right?

Not often and by inashi (dodging).

I think size trumps skilful technique unless you attack unexpectedly early. I know it goes against the premise of the MAs, but there you go.

Yes. A small guy can KO a big guy with skill and mechanics.

Small guy...

1. shuffle steps back creating a safe distance then steps forward shifting his weight to the front foot to lure jab.
2. level changes (down) and shifts weight to back foot (roll back/pull), while simultaneously stepping forward to the left with front foot placing the target (head) between both feet. This defends against jab and loads the overhand right (push).
3. pushes off both feet (up), shifts weight to the front foot and throws the overhand right KOing big guy.

Similar to what Mike does in Tyson vs Golota. Mike...

1. simultaneously steps forward to the left placing the target (head) between both feet, fakes jab to lure Golota's jab while shifting weight to the back foot defending against Golota's jab and loads the right cross.
2. pushes off both feet (up), shifts weight to the front foot and throws the right cross knocking down Golota.
