HOW TO POWER KICK TO BREAK LEGS & END FIGHTS
A kick can inflict severe damage to the bone, more than any other strike that you can throw.
A Thai style round kick is probably the most powerful kick in all of martial arts. Land just a few of these kicks to the legs or body and the opponent will be hard-pressed to continue the fight. The science behind the force behind power kicks to the legs has been shown to be at a force of up to 1000 lbs pressure per square inch. In a later article we will demonstrate in slow motion the incredible force exerted on an object like a leg or baseball bat (in the upcoming video). That’s an impressive and devastating blow to bone that is just too much for even a muscular leg to withstand.
Many Thai fighters will train to building up the toughness of their shins and feet by continually striking had objects–even trees while wearing protective guards. In the following video, you will witness exactly this type power kick to break his opponent’s leg. Wait for the end and they will repeat it in slow motion.
