You ignorant bastard.
Seagal helped him alter the technique for better power.
He never claimed to teach Silva how to do a front kick. That's retarded and he never said that. You spend too much time on MMA forums where 99.99% of those faggots don't know shit about anything and troll about everything.
Same with Machida.
Guess what?
They both then nearly kicked Belfort and Couture's heads right off their fricking shoulders with it.
Being a 2nd degree black belt Shotokan practitioner, and having seen the videos of him explaining and demonstrating his approach technique for how to throw the kick, I can attest that he was 100% right. It was perfect actually. His approach and technique is exactly what you do when throwing a front kick for offensive power.
Nice ignorant bitch life.
