Hey boys, I used to LOVE sidekicks, but the more experienced I've got, the less I use them.
You see, the sidekick used to be one of my go to's, but the higher level I spar, the more likely I get punished for trying.
In this video, I outline a few reasons why I personally dislike the sidekick for K1 or Muay Thai, I also outline the best times to be throwing it.
There is a time and a place to be throwing them, but at the end of the day I feel like they are a 'high risk, low reward' technique.
Let me know in the comments what you think :)
