Media Joe rogan show of his kettlebell kicking power

[TidWell]

You might be right...I googled it and it said 5'8. so who knows...and chicks do wear heels, lots of times...

well those chicks were not wearing heels it was during the weigh ins when he went to interview them

Here is Joe Rogan with 5 foot 4 Valentina Shevchenko he also has higher soles on his shoes than hers.

For someone who is never going to compete (again?), and is at his age, all of the qualities of his kicks are respectable at the very least...I am wondering if the camera angle prevented us from seeing how awkward and unnecessary his shuffling &/or other leg movements were though. Yet, I feel that most serious posters see this video similar to the way I do, in that it's more of a good for him thing rather than a laugh at him or be amazed by him thing.

& I gotta say, I'm a nobody in the world of MMA and I've landed crazier shit in street fights (not with full power, I'm not Krazy Horse) and landed spinning back kicks (that's his go to, right?) in sparring. Not that any of this should matter, but if we are just posting for the sake of discussion or just to post or w/e...

I'm assuming you meant street fights because for some reason a large portion of Sherdog likes to pretend the less skill and safety precautions involved, the more respectable it is. I've landed spinning back kicks as well as other spinning and flying maneuvers, both striking and grappling in sparring and in self defense/defense of others.

Again, I'm a fucking nobody in the world of martial arts, and alot of this has been done when I'm out of shape, even when way out of shape. Being able to land these kicks against combat sports athletes in their respective arenas is what matters most, anybody with skill can find a way to land anything they know in a street fight, because typically only average joes and janes street fight, if an athlete is involved they are usually getting harrassed or are for whatever reason harrassing others. Even attempting to land that shit in playful sparring is harder than a street fight.

Joe Rogan is not a top tier Mixed Martial Artist, yet he neither has ever claimed to be, nor would ever need to be in order to land that technique and others against just about anyone. Barely anyone at all is a top tier combat sport athlete, and believe it or not you can baffle a specialist once you bring out "exotic" techniques, sometimes at their own game if the stars align or your set ups are that on point.

if your street fight game was so successful, why you have so much CTE?

not sure what you mean by in proportion...but rogan is anything but heavily jacked...he's decently built..but he's far from big...

proportion is what makes all the difference, its why Girls who are 5 foot 7 or 5 foot 8 look Taller than a lot of guys who are 5 foot 7 or 8, women are longer limbs while a lot of guys are stocky

Bruce Lee was slim and shredded so he didnt look like a Dwarf he is a normal looking 5 foot 7, Robert Deniro is also a normal looking 5 foot 8 guy you wouldn't say they were short even though they are only 5 foot 8 and 7

But Rogan is a stocky dude him being muscular at 185 pounds at only 5 foot 6 is HUGE for his size and he is on TRT and hgh.

He also has short T rex arms

So it makes him look even shorter

 

[TidWell]

Aubrey Marcus lol whatever happened to that guy? I swear he's like the king of snake oil salesmen, even worse than Dolce.

Aubrey father was in the porn industry and he sold Dildos and flesh lights.

Joe Rogan became a Key investor in Onnit he had Aubry on a few times and he got financial backing from Joe and now Onit makes like 20 million a year.

 

[Heavy Hands]

Fun Fact: Joe rogan was the stunt double on bloodsport for this kick.

 

[Hack Saw]

I respect his dedication to stay in shape. But no i dont have to admire his technical strikes.

GSP does, but maybe you know better.

 

[Hack Saw]

People who idolize Joe's kicks baffle me. There are guys in every sort of martial arts gym who can do the same thing. It isn't even disrespect to Joe to laugh at the stupidity of people who think he's some sort of Messiah of spinning kicks.

This is just not true...

Its very rare to be able to generate the kind of power he does.

He looks sloppy as shit in this video though.

 

[Broke Lester]

Okay? And what am i butthurt over?

i don't know, but you went out of your way to post this video to be able to cut down his technique, his power and everything else that you could think of, something is up. In the very first post you have the GSP gif as if to say "oh look how scared I am"
BASIC psychology would say you are upset over something that you would want to embarrass someone in the fashion that you chose to do so.
Maybe whats on the video is basic to you but could be helpful to beginners and intermediate practitioners.
It says you are a pro fighter, but how does cutting up someone else make you look professional in your field, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you need to resort to this?

So if you're not butt hurt, what is the purpose of your posts?

 

[Hack Saw]

wouldn't a spinning back kick to the plexus from pretty much anybody take you out? i'm more impressed if his jab or straight right was dropping people

Umm, you have to be able to throw one for it to take someone out.

You've clearly never thrown a spinning back kick before, I bet you couldn't even land it on a bag.

 

[Hack Saw]

I knew you or someone else would mention Pettis or Yair, Machida, Thompsonor indeed GSP - but to me those are very much the exceptions. Guys who have a natural aptitude and ability to fight, and a traditional martial art simply set them on the path to learn how to actually fight. A guy like Sage is a more predictable example of someone transitioning from a traditional martial art, and even then - more successful than usual.

Taekwondo works. Not on its own but basically all the techniques you learn are effective. They can all do serious damage, and some of them like spinning heel kicks or spinning back kicks are legit one hitter quitters if they land.

A TKD base as a kid with Muay Thai training later in life will make for a monster kicker.

I did TKD from age 10 to 14 and then transitioned to Muay Thai. To this day my leg dexterity and flexibility is better than 80-90% of the people I've trained with who have only done Muay Thai. You learn how to kick without telegraphing as well which is very useful.

For example in MT you are taught to switch before kicking with your lead leg to generate maximum power and stay balanced. But because of my early TKD training I can literally headkick someone right from my stance with my front leg, with basically 0 telegraph then return to my stance right away without losing my footing. The bodykick is devastating as well because you never see it coming. And it still generates just as much if not more power than someone who switches before kicking. This is purely because of my leg/hip dexterity and flexibility that I defeloped from TKD.

Combine these skills with the power you learn to put into your kicks in Muay Thai and your kicks will be monstrous. Think Edson Barboza, he is a Muay Thai fighter with a TKD black belt.

 

[Roukas]

Let see Francis kick the pad man he be on his ass

Francis lowkick to Curtis blade hardest low kick I ever see devastate blade sent him into shock for the KO punch

 

[Chagaev]

Every time I see him kick he goes for maximum power, ignoring everything else that makes a kick viable in a match.

Looks like someone that only trained at the heavy bag, without trainer attention or sparring.

 

[ultimateriley-o]

Haha I like joe for the most part but I honestly wonder if he realizes how corny these onnit videos of him and that other guy really are

~DaViD~

How are you going to talk about corny when you’re signing your name in alternate caps on message board posts between tildes.

Tildes, man.

 

[fractal]

He's the hardest kicker alive as of 2018

Definitely the hardest kicker of the night.

Well, to be honest, I"d rather be jacked and look a bit shorter, than be a normal looking dude and be taller...being jacked is being jacked..and nothing is better than that...

 

[bigconan]

well those chicks were not wearing heels it was during the weigh ins when he went to interview them

Here is Joe Rogan with 5 foot 4 Valentina Shevchenko he also has higher soles on his shoes than hers.

ya, he does look about 2 inches taller...

Sorry man. Did not see your long rant there.

I just read it quickly. But kinda look like you are fishing for a reaction from me.

Well you did not insult me. The video came up on my youtube startpage. And i thought it would be funny to post it here. Because people got very different opinions on who joe rogan is.

 

[shankmcgank]

I love how he drops his right hand to his waist 5 seconds before every kick.

Left hook to the right jaw, KO.

He talks about how important technique is, yet throws kicks worse than a 5 year old white belt.
