MA kick drills?

I need (for a certain value of the word "need") a dvd detailing and drilling some of the more interesting MA kicks.

and the basics. I should probably drill the basics.


THANK YOU!!

What kicks? Combat is very good at teaching the kicks and they use impeccable form. They teach the basic kicks - front (push and snap), side (done the right way, not just a kick to the side like so many others do), back kick, round house, jump front kick and some others. To learn the really cool others (like a spinning back kick), I'd recommend a live Martial Arts class.

body combat?

ugh!
i hate how side kicks are shown in most videos

that's one that was drilled into me at about 10 yrs old
isshin-ryu style


I"m thinking more kicks from other branches of MA.
Capoeira, muay thai, krav maga......

Les Mills Combat - the one BeachBody sells. I'm a stickler for form as I have taken Tae Kwon Do and Krav Maga. And these are true to form. They do go into the different types of Martial Arts. It's not necessary kicks, but also punches - like Muay Thai is more elbows and knees.

And YES! The side kick is the most messed up kick on videos. The way most people do it is useless. No power. You need to use your glutes to get any power what-so-ever.

They have moves from every MA you mentioned except Krav which is more a combo of every MA (and honestly the training I would fall back on should I ever get attacked). For DVD's Combat is the closest I've gotten to a truer MA experience. UFC Fit is good but his side kicks suck and the DVD's are more about conditioning you to fight in the ring than teaching you actual moves.
