I’ve been throwing this kinda kick since I started training, I’m so happy to see that it’s a legit technique and not just something I made up to mess with with people in sparring
@MartyMJC 5 місяців тому
I have legit been using this technique in sparring forever now😂😂 i thought i was just faking round kicks for push kicks. I did not know it was an actual kicking technique with a name

Nice, I think I first saw this kick from Bas Rutten during his Pancrase days. I learned something called an S-Kick from one of my Pals who do Kyokushin, it starts as a downward chopping roundhouse but ends up as an in-out crescent kick to the head. I thought that it got the name because of the trajectory/path of the kick but the name Snake kick does make a lot of sense

One of the best kicks you can add to your arsenal especially if you start with a body kick because a lot of fighters tend to want to check body kicks more then anything
@judgegerald1275 5 місяців тому
If they go to check the body kick you can teep the body if they Dutch block you can teep the face or you can step forward into a knee or elbow and get into the clinch

@AlexN2022 5 місяців тому
I used to use it a lot, but it makes breaking your own toes a real possibility. Landing your shin on a block just hurts, landing your toes on a block breaks them, and here we solicit a block, so it's a matter of being a little bit off, or the opponent being a bit quicker. There is a modification of this where, instead of switching to a front kick, we switch to a very short, whippy crescent kick to the head. I've seen people knocked out with that, but it needs a setup to get rid of hands defending the head first.

@zisispethanis4271 5 місяців тому
As a southpaw, the lead leg one works very well after spamming some low kicks. You can add a small jumping step with the rear to add distance specially if you do the same with your lead leg low kicks.
@CashewNuts0 5 місяців тому
When you said snake kick I thought it would be what in karate we call uchi mawashi geri or gyaku mawashi geri. It's exactly like what you showed in the video, but instead of finishing with a front kick you keep going, open your hips at the end and do a circular kick from the inside. It looks like and "S" shape going upwards. Kyokushin guys can do some serious damage with it.

The second method you showed was something that I sort of intuited doing on my own in sparring 😅 I'm that person who's perfectly comfortable doing 2 or 3 (or more 🙃) consecutive low kicks if the other person doesn't give me a reason to stop, so I needed an option for when people did get twitchy to check, and this seemed to flow out quite naturally 🙂

@SuperGoatTV 5 місяців тому
Holly crap!!! I have been doing this kick for years and I've never seen it demonstrated until this video lol and the reason I started throwing this kick was because of my lack of flexibility to do a question mark kick to the head LOL I catch people with this kick eight or nine times out of 10 when sparring. When people ask me what does Kik was since I had never seen it before it was just something I organically developed. I just called it a reverse question maek kick, but now I'm going to call it a snake kick. That's badass, LOL

Now this is an amazing kick Gabriel, I have utilized, the snake kick, loads of times, but, I have mostly utilized, the first method to throw it, not the rest of them, and I found it landing really solid in partner drilling, and we did not go full power, just light, and I felt, that I could really, knock the wind, out of somebody, if I did that kick, with more power and speed in a fight in the ring, and I will try it in sparring soon, but will obviously go lighter, so I do not fully knock the wind out of my training buddies/sparring partners, like it is an actual fight, but overall an amazing kick to utilize, excellent video Gabriel! 🎉

I got in trouble for throwing this in practice. I meant to throw it at my opponent's sternum and he ducked into the kick. Good thing I pulled back a lot as I wasn't trying to hurt him just tag him, he still caught a face full of my foot and coach thought I was trying to hurt him. He said no more "face kicks" but I wasn't intending for the face 🫠

My coach does a slight variation with a side kick instead of a front kick. Sooo is it the same or a new kick? Maybe the Riddler? Or the Questionable Gardensnake?
@honigdachs. 5 місяців тому
It reminds me of an even more unusual kick where you bring the knee not just in a front kick position, but you cross over towards the standing leg, as if you were cross-blocking a low kick. Then you counter-twist the hip, raise the leg and flick it outwards to the opponent's chin, basically back in the direction it came from. So if you're kicking in orthodox with the back leg, you're hitting the opponent's right side of the head, not the left. It requires very good hip and leg flexibility and strength. I've seen Kyokushin guys score knockouts with that.
@GabrielVargaOfficial 5 місяців тому

@josh1212121 2 місяці тому
I saw this kick done a few times before, I was thinking, what if you do the question mark kick as a fake then do the snake kick right after? So you start with a question mark kick, then when your leg is about to hit him from the side you bring your leg back and do the front kick. So it's like you fake the question mark kick then finish it as a snake kick. Or do the other way, start with a snake kick, then right before your leg lands forward you quickly bring it back to the side as a question mark kick. Call it the "Zigzag kick". That'll really confuse your opponent, he'll be like "what kick is he trying to do" then bam, he gets hit with your foot. Or, just keep alternating between question mark and snake kick, keep switching back and forth over and over, then when he doesn't know whats happening, hit him with one of the two. Genius right?
@187almazan 27 днів тому
No because you're leaving your leg out there just dangling waiting to be countered plus it's hard to generate power and speed without momentum. You're better off setting your opponent up with the hands and then throwing the kicks when he expects you to finish a boxing combo.
