Silat Ground Kicks Combinations - REAL Silat Martial Arts!

hey what's up Paul Ingram here today we're going to be working on some ground fighting techniques some movements from caot martial arts in Southeast Asian martial arts now a lot of these movements what I like about training this stuff is that not only is it good for martial arts but it's also really good for developing our mobility in our hips our strength and also working that core and our shoulders it's a whole body workout that's really good for Fitness as well that's one of the things I love about training the martial arts you kind of get two bangs for the buck right you get the martial arts stuff of it but you also get that general fitness health benefit of it as well so what we're going to do is we're going to work some ground kicks from cot martial arts are also known as penx seot this is from the har Mau the ground fighting the the tiger type of uh fighting and Strikes and stuff and we're going to take this sawah kind of position right here and this is a great position to be sitting in we should be sitting in this position daily at least throughout the day you want to get on the ground and sit in this position and it's really good for our hips because we have some internal rotation in the hip going on we have some external rotation in the hip going on and we get to be stabilizing our core we want to spend as much time on the ground as we can because you know in our modern kind of more convenient life we're spending less and less time on the ground humans we got to spend more time on the ground okay very very important so for our first combination we're going to be using this internal rotated leg this back leg here and we're going to come across and we're going to go into our round kick just like this then we're going to look over other shoulder other leg is going to come around with what we call a sickle kick spinning sickle kick and then we're going to post the foot I'm going to raise myself up two points foot and opposite hand and go into What's called the Naga kick and then we're going to sit this down and now we're on the other side sitting in sawah and let's repeat the same thing going the other way I'm going to wipe my hands I'm going to go into my left leg round kick this time look over my right shoulder there's that spinning sickle kick post that foot you got a foot post and a hand post opposites of each other lift up and Naga kick and let's go ahead and work this let's do H five repetitions together right now and then we'll progress to comination number two nice and slow we have round kick spinning sickle kick and Naga bring it back round kick spinning sickle kick and Naga don't worry about how high you're kicking and as you're working this out you can gradually speed it up and try to get your kicks higher and all that but this is really good for you know not only obviously the martial arts skills but opening up our hips getting some of that hip mobility that youthfulness back into our body and working some good stabilizing strength throughout our body as well you see we have to support hold our body up core is activated shoulder hand really using the whole body here and work on getting the combination to flow become a little bit smoother okay let's go ah and do two more speed it up smooth it up just a little [Music] bit okay last one last rep both sides round kick sickle Naga back the other way round kick sickle and Naga right there okay combination number two we're going to follow the same order of kicks so this time I'm going to start off the same way I'm going to come out with the round kick then I'm going to do a sickle back I'm going to just bring it right back post the foot and Naga and when we go to sit down you're going to see that we just returned to our original start position so we're going to do a switch we'll just do a nice simple seated front switch for now I've got some other videos here on the YouTube channel that that uh goes over different types of switches that you can play around with and then we're going to work the other side me a round kick sickle it back post and Naga kick and again we'll just do a simple seated front switch and if you want more ground stuff like this if you want to really explore even more combinations then head over to my website at Marshall flex.com and you can check out my seot starter course got a bunch of ground stuff stuff in there and a whole bunch of other standup drills that you can work as well so we have round kick sickle it back post and Naga and let's switch round kick sickle it back and Naga right there and then switch let's get three more in so we got a total of five again one two three kicks boom sit and switch if you practice this probably in about one or two weeks maybe even just a couple of days you'll start to uh feel that difference in your hips you know as I've been also you know always working to improve my hip mobility my hip strength cuz it's always a work in progress but what I have found see we got what we'll do two more two more reps here what I have found is that just working my kicks whether I'm standing whether I'm on the ground like this this has been the most beneficial exercises for my hip mobility right there and switch all righty we got one more combination I want to make sure I share with you let's do it together we're combination number three combination number three on our caot ground kicks again we're following the exact same order round kick sickle kick and Naga kick this one we're going to start off with the round kick but we're going to stop it halfway want you to pretend like uh somebody your opponent blocked your kick and you're going to bring it all the way around and come back to the sickle kick on the other side same leg there post up and Naga kick and from there we got a switch so we'll just stick with the same seated front switch keep it simple for now and again on the other side I'm going to go into my round kick stop my opponent blocks me I spin all the way around same leg there's that Sickle kick from the other side post and Naga kick right there and then switch y let's get a couple more reps in on that round kick boom it gets blocked bring it around there's the sickle kick and Naga right there and switch other side there it is gets blocked I come back around boom I sneak them on the other side Pop there's the Naga we got what three more reps let's rep it out nice and [Music] smooth there switch gets blocked come back around there's the sickle kick boom there's that Naga that Dragon kick snake strike two more pop boom pop switch other side it gets blocked come back around there's that Naga or sorry the sickle there's the Naga kick let's switch it let's get one more repetition in blocked
