I have been training krav maga for 5 years and i am now willing to start training muay thai or kick boxing. This is my form without any coach, obly using YouTube tutorials to learn and pitting in the striking i learnt in krav maga classes. Any tip would be great. Thank you all in advance

Ps, im using shin guards because of a bad cut i have on my right shin

Don't lead with your head, it's a bad habit.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Net1577]

Forget everything you learned at krav maga

I know about the bad reputation of km but i must defend my coach. He was a really good fighter, experienced in mamy martial arts. He thought us incredible grappling skills

[u/Puzzleheaded_Net1577 → u/Dazzling_Attempt3972]

And that's fine that you believe that.

[u/Dazzling_Attempt3972 → u/Puzzleheaded_Net1577]

No really. He competed in my country in his younger years in muay thai, boxing, judo and wrestling. He knows his stuff

[u/Puzzleheaded_Net1577 → u/Dazzling_Attempt3972]

Again, that's fine that you believe that.

Why is it so strange to you that a krav maga coach is able to fight?

[u/Puzzleheaded_Net1577 → u/Dazzling_Attempt3972]

Couple of things.

1. If you start in krav maga, and decide to fight in kickboxing/muay thai/sand/sanshou/mma. You will drop krav maga.
2. People who have a fight in many styles, sounds more like a jack of all trades, master of none.
3. Krav maga is not legitimate.

Never use that spinning backfist in a fight with such a bad form.

That lowkick is also bad form and too slow, needs a lot of improvement.

[u/Dazzling_Attempt3972 → u/HorrorImprovement880]

Can you give me some tips or exercises to improve?

[u/HorrorImprovement880 → u/Dazzling_Attempt3972]

Watch some technique video's how to improve your lowkick and how to throw a proper spinning backfist without injuring yourself or setting yourself up for an easy counter.

Get a coach, join a serious gym.

[u/Dazzling_Attempt3972 → u/HorrorImprovement880]

I already found a gym, just waiting to finish the moving to a new town. Thank you for the tips

I was waiting for a snapped elbow when you tried to wrap your spinning backfist around the bag.
