Stepping side kick - Raymond Daniels

Glory 13 Raymond Daniels versus Brian Foster Raymond switch stances forward and throws a spinning hook kick. As the kick comes in Brian shuffles back and avoids the kick. Raymond realising this tendency does a Stepping side kick. Although the kick misses Brian does a good job at reading the kick and defends successfully by combining a dip and a dart to outside of Raymond to avoid the kick. Although the kick doesn't land this is a perfect example of how the stepping sidekick can be utilised in combat sports. Mark.

Glory 16 - Raymond Daniels versus Francois Ambang Aside from the sheer difficulty in landing this kick. What makes it beautiful is the set up and the technical prowess of Daniel. Traditionally this kick is set up from the back leg and uses the momentum from the spin to unleash the spinning hook kick. The thing which is beautiful about this. is the adjustment in throwing the kick, instead of throwing it traditionally using the rear leg for momentum to set it up. He uses a leaping lead leg side kick to create the momentum for the spin as he pressures his opponents to the ropes. By throwing the kick like this it makes it a lot more harder for the opponent to read and therefore increase chances to land the kick. Mark.
