How to Kick Harder - Dutch Kickboxing with Ernesto Hoost

Love Hoost. You can tell he’s a great guy

Im afraid of him , just watching

Almost kickers forget their guard when they attack. Their arms come down automatically when they kick.

Bitch i'd be terrified to kick Hoost too. And I ain't even afraid of too many people lol.

It’s actually down to flexibility. The round kick to the head legend is Peter Aerts, and if you watch his highlights, he doesn’t need to do this. In fact many do not need to do this. You shift your shoulder weight in the same direction and the hips that follow you can keep your hands up on the defensive posture while throwing a powerful round house kick. People throw their hand back in order to counter balance and remain upright better.

bro actin like he some kickboxing world champion and basically the dutch kickboxing goat or something lmao

Learned that tip in sanda recently. You cross hand to cover the lowered arm when kicking and cover chin with shoulder

Ernesto a legend put up with Bob sapps nonsense that one time

I've learned a lot since watching Ernesto, especially about kicking.

"When i kick i kick like this!" Kicks exactly as hard as the other guy

No more calling it Dutch kickboxing it's karate from Japan witi ifluences from Thailand

He is trying to be respectful

So many people commenting about losing your guard and Dutch style this and that….Hoost is one of the best Dutch low kickers ever (together with Rob Kaman). Most Dutch fighters from that era swing their arm like that. I learned it that way as well as Dutchy. Maybe the new generation learns it differently, but to hold both hands up during a kick is just strange for me. As mentioned by other you defend with your other hand/arm and or shoulder. I mean when you punch you are also vulnerable, since you cannot hold both hands up clearly…you block with your shoulder and it is part of the game!

I never drop my hand i always place my hand in my opponens face and gemerate all the power from my hip

The power of that kick comes from rotation of the hips and foot combined with foot placement. I love Ernesto. Guy is a beast. Swinging the arm does not rotate the body. That'd be explosive movement through the hips and feet.

BEING KIND IS TO LEAVE A STRING OF PEARLS AROUND MY GIRL FRIENDS NECK MOST NIGHTS.!! 😜😋

IT'S A REALLY BAD HABIT TO KICK THE BALLS OF THE RABBIT.! 🐇🐁🐈‍⬛🐰😭🙂🙃🫣😀😁🤣🫣🐒💨💩🙊

He'll probably force me to block with my liver and head...

I've heard professionals disagree on this for years but I don't think I've ever seen a fighter who always keeps their hands up, it's just not practical when you're trying blast someone with that shin.

My own coach would tell us to keep our hands up.

Kickboxing copy muay thai??

This is natural in tkd

Muay Thai 101

Ah yes the thai kick

I love Ernesto Hoost!

Thai boxing side kick…… great kick-boxing move 😂

Yup legend

Ernesto is wrong in that technique

sorry not to been there!...I would have annihilated that black!, just i have done many times!!!...

Everyone would be afraid 😅

if muay thai was easy it be called dutch kickboxing

He don’t know what he’s saying dude😊

I had to learn this bc boxing say no

Until you get countered and knocked TF out … there’s truth behind this but risk also

Who in their right mind would even think about kicking Ernesto with power bc you’re most likely going to sleep
💥🥊

O shit Thats the dad from a girl I was in a class with in highschool 😂

Facts

keeping a high guard until ur sure of ur abilities and reaction time is the best way but once u reach that point then u can sacrifice a little defense for extra power, also the way ernesto throws that arm back it acts as a counter balance of sorts so ur more upright and keep ur balance better

My dad taught me just like dis.

He forgot to mention that he’s bringi the other hand to defend the jaw, which he did both of the times during demonstration…

Yes

I love it he's not saying hit hard. He's saying hit smart.

Yes and No… fighters know how and why.

Common sense

A perfectly timed left will make you raise that hand.

Smh. False.

Nah this is very wrong. Don't drop ur hand.. if u move it, move it the direction you're kicking. You loose power and rotation if u drop it. Trun ur shoulder into the kick.

Pretty sure anyone who walks into a striking gym figures this out on day 1, if not, I'd start asking some real questions about their gym's validity

I am kicking like that with pure instinct. It feels better. And actually it’s more effective, nice.

If Mr. Perfect asked me to kick him idk how that would end up for me…

So in muay thai we do this. But it’s not the reason you’re kicking harder. And we dont always throw it down. But the point is for you to rotate your right shoulder so that you generate more force. Which he is not doing in the video. Because rotating your shoulder would help you rotate your hip more generating more force.
