Hatmaker will show you the formidable Thai kicks from the rear leg & switch kicks that are well known to most fighters, but if you think they represent the full array of possible kicks, you're about to get an education.
Stressing the high-percentage kicks that will work almost every time, Hatmaker demonstrates kicks from the outside range & the clinch; the brutal "Ax Murderer" series; back kicks to get out of a rear-clinch situation; cut-kicking; painful & surprising point kicks; & defenses against any kick imaginable. For the complete fighter, he launches into an exhaustive display of kicking combinations followed by kicking & upper-body tool combinations that show you how to mesh Western boxing strikes with kicking attacks to the thighs, shins, & ankles. To burn it all in, he gives you kicking chain drills, kicking conditioning drills, & leg conditioning drills that rely on sparring contact, not kicking trees because "the Thais don't do it, & neither should you."
Simply put, Hatmaker proves that if you want to be on top of your game, you have to go low.
