Rogan points out that the key part of the kick is going in a straight line to keep maximum velocity for the hit.

While not an MMA fighter, Rogan clearly knows his kicks and St-Pierre's willingness to learn is part of what made him great.

On Rogan's podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, St-Pierre said: 'I never seen anybody hit as hard. Man, I remember that the bag when you were working [with me] had a freakin like a hole with your footprint in it!'

Rogan said they got together thanks to John Donaher asking him if he knows anyone who could help St-Pierre with the fundamentals of his spinning back kick, leading to Rogan suggesting himself.

Rogan talked about his taekwondo training, which was an old-school taekwondo style based on powerful kicks, trained by followers of South Korean General Chae Myung-shin's school.

Rogan said: 'From the time I was 15 to the time I was 21, I didn't do sh*t, I barely did any homework I didn't pay any attention in school at all, that's all I did I just wanted to be in the Olympics I wanted to be a taekwondo champion.'

'Everyone trained for power. My instructors' idea was if you couldn't hurt someone with a kick, why even practice it?'

He continued: 'All the taekwondo guys in tournaments they were tapping each other, just moving very fast trying to score points and he (coach) hated that sh*t.'

St-Pierre said he still tries to improve this technique but that it's impossible for him to do it like Rogan as his 'brain is wired differently' from karate.

One of the most appraisable attributes of the Quebecker was his humility and honesty, which inspired great respect from fighters and fans alike and etched his name in the hall of fame after his retirement.
