Grab front & side kicks mid-air and throw | golf swing single leg finish, guard pass, & upkicks

Grab front kicks out of mid air and easily throw your opponent on his back. Use a simple modification of this technique as a leg drag guard pass. The golf swing is one of my favorite finishes for a single leg takedown, and my preferred method of sweeping my opponent after catching a front kick. I first learned this technique 12 years ago in Jiangsu Province, China, from a former Chinese national sanda champion- and a student of the master of taijiquan, Yu Dao Shui. While this technique is common in Chinese martial arts and combat sports like sanda and taichi, it also exists in freestyle wrestling, other grappling arts, and Muay Thai. (I even saw a Thai fighter do this live at the old Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok in a championship title fight at the big Muay Thai show on the birthday of the king of Thailand) Also in this video, learn all about the dos and the don’t of up kicking. It’s a really simple subject, but a lot of people still get it wrong, and teaching upkick fight logic wrong gets you knock
