Joe Rogan - GSP on Joe's Turning SideKick

when you did that it was completely insane you know yeah that's the one geez i'm still working on it by the way but i i can't do like you do with my knee coming out i feel like when i do inspiring the guys they they see it and they they so i have to keep my my knee tucked in yeah i think you're just thinking that maybe it's because of karate i learned in a different way so my my brain is wired so much in a certain way yeah the the problem with karate is that lower knee the knee down by the the other knee versus up by the hip when you bring it up by the hip there's there's much more leverage it's tremendous amount of force and the alignment of your lower leg the supporting leg and the kicking leg is better to generate force whereas the kicking leg is almost independent of the lower leg if you're going up because they're not moving in the same direction one leg is going up the other leg is going forward so it's like it's all goofy but when the hip is up the when you turn the hip is up this is pushing and this is going forward it's just so boom however the power comes from however you you you come from taekwondo yeah is all the olympic athlete like champion they don't do it like that yeah no no they don't no no no exactly you do it in a different ways right but man i never seen anybody hit as hard like i don't care if it's a punch like i never see a strike pro a strike a blow from a human being that hard man i remember that the bag when you were working in it was a freaking hole almost in the back it was like a curves in the bag like with your your footprint in it i'm like it's completely insane man it's a lot of power i was with andy bravo and i remember we were freaking out then you were going back and forth and i like you you know we we worked together because of donahue yeah because john came up to me and just asking me because i was a commentator he said i need someone to help george with the the fundamentals of his spinning back kick he needs like uh like a technique refresher do you know anybody and i said this is gonna sound crazy just gotta listen to me but i have a really good spinning back kick so that's how that's how you put it out yeah smart he said he put it to me just asking no no no he knew he knew he didn't know he knew that he told me he's gonna ask you he's gonna ask if you could work with me that's funny because he said it to me i don't know if i knew somebody no but you want to put it this way because johnny's smart guy john is very smart guy at he would have if would have said he would have kind of right because i remember he said that to me and i say because he's like my son so he's so i said yeah yeah right i'm like and then i was rolling my like what the [ __ ] is joe rogan i didn't know what your background you know like i knew you i know you did something i thought he was gonna think no but i he knew that because a word get around the word gets around that you have a very strong spinning back he somewhere somehow told him or he's seen it or because he told me i remember he told me then i was like yeah i'll do it when i go train with freddie roach and then then i couldn't believe it i called him that the same night i said what that what was that man it's like this should be an ill if he ever fights manny this should be illegal he can kill someone with this man it's insane man what's [ __ ] up is it almost feels like a lie because it was so long ago it was a different life like i stopped fighting i'm 50 years old i stopped fighting when i was 21. so i haven't fought in forever so it's just i've i keep doing it and training but i haven't done it so long so when i tell someone that i can do it i'm like this that true i mean is it true how many people did you did you ever light up someone with that particular video of me when i was 19 from a taekwondo tournament making a guy fly through the air yeah are you serious youtube yeah jamie oh my god is he okay now is he alive i don't know here it is right here are you kidding me man yeah that's a [ __ ] scratchy vhs video from 1980 so you you realize you didn't even cut him like you know we talked about precision like there was like like your technique is freaking but it's so powerful like you got him where on the shoulder on the no no i caught him on the body it wasn't in the shoulder you can see it again but yeah that it's it's okay it's just his arm it's underneath his arm but i see that guy always because he's very incredibly incredibly powerful a guy would do the same thing hit him in the same spot it would probably not get put away like that okay okay see as you see the impact it goes right into his body and then i extend and then when i extended he was i was kind of like oh yeah okay no no that was that was perfect and he just sailed through the air it's just it's a crazy it's it's got so much power yeah it's just a crazy technique and i was raised in a taekwondo school that came from the old school taekwondo before tournaments see general che che hyung yi he trained he was the inventor of taekwondo the founder of taekwondo and he trained a small handful of of of elite instructors and one of them was jay hun kim who was my instructor so my taekwondo background was old-school taekwondo before olympic it was even a consideration and so everyone trained for power it was a different thing breaking yeah it was just it was you had to be able to defend yourself in the street my instructor's idea was if you couldn't hurt someone with a kick like why even practice it and these taekwondo guys in tournaments they were tapping each other they were just moving really fast trying to score points and he hated that [ __ ] he hated that [ __ ] and he felt like you had to load up more there had to be more power into those techniques and it wasn't quite as fast as like the the really quick style olympic point style taekwondo yeah but that olympic point style wouldn't hurt anybody you couldn't keep them off of you but but the thing is hard for me like i try to practice it your ways but i have a i don't know if it's my hips or no wait no it's just it's just wraps it's just repetitive okay okay we'll go over here after we're done we're done anyway now breaking hardware we have this gym here i'll i'll just give you a refresher yeah a lot of it comes from the front leg sidekick no nobody i know you know i go back i went back to karate training because i've done muay thai but i was comforting from karate background i've we've done it straight not like you straight then at muay thai and i haven't done it for a kick like backing for a long time because i don't really do that much in muay thai now i went back to karadi my last fight and when i started to to redo it i've been taught again with the knee the knee down yeah yeah but i like yours i like the way you do it man the knee right he's higher yeah the knee has to be higher to get the full power into it i just don't have the same efficiency with it yeah it's great but it can be done you can learn that efficiency [ __ ] 100 it's freaking nuts man yeah it but it comes from learning first the right way to do the front leg side kick see the front leg side kick you develop that boom that that knee comes up and then boom it's all in thrusting that hip and popping it forward and then once you develop the speed from doing that then you do it with the turn and then it's turn boom it's the same thing it's that twist of the the hip and the extension of the leg but then it's also the turn first so the turn first boom and then the extension of the leg that's where that power comes from it's all in a straight line okay and then the 360 when the right leg is forward and you step forward and then throw yeah that was that's that's like getting hit by a train yeah yeah that's the only that's the one that i there's the strongest i've ever seen is that that shit's crazy it's so you're running it somewhere you're not even in your prime now 50 [ __ ] yeah but when i was 19 i could do it like a laser beam that's so fast yeah you know like in that video i mean i was just that's all i did though i mean but from the time i was 15 to the time i was 21 i didn't do [ __ ] i barely did any homework i didn't pay attention in school at all all i did was fight that's all i did was take one day that's all i did i just wanted to be in the olympics i wanted to be a taekwondo champion wow yeah that's all i wanted to do but then the problem was i started sparring with kickboxers getting [ __ ] up and i realized that taekwondo has no hands like the hand techniques were useless and when i would be in a boxing ring and i would be sparring with someone they'd just get me in a corner and start [ __ ] me up and i was like oh i don't know how to do this like i need to learn how to box and so i realized taekwondo in a lot of situations is not effective it's not useful yeah like i needed to learn how to box first and so then i started training that and then i started getting training with muay thai guys getting leg kicked i'm like ah [ __ ] now this because we were doing like above the waist kickboxing yeah and then i saw rick rufus when he fought that uh tie fighter you know there's a really important fight when rick fought this guy and the guy just chopped his [ __ ] legs out from him like
