8 Head Movement Tips 

Said by the LEGEND himself! Thank you Lawrence Kenshin. Been getting comments left right center that "ill catch a head kick" when I've mentioned the dangers of slipping with the same patterns or by abusing head movement.

Very very few fighters have the world class reflexes as Somrak, Samart and Lerdsila. Its a matter of time before you catch a head kick by someone who notices a fighter ducking so low. The head kick will end up landing especially by a fighter who ends his punch combinations with kicks. A few slips and ducks are ok but not that amount or dipping that low. A high tight guard is much more effective in the long term.

I agree with you, but how can you expect to be like them if you do not train it? Jeff doesn't do this against good kickers at all.

MEXTHAIBOXER, as mentioned in the video, I will use head movement when my hands happen to be low and its my last resort (whether the reason was due to bad habit or other reasons), or I am in a heated exchange and I rely on head movement reflex (which you need to drill it as Lawrence Kenshin stated) or if I am just having fun playing around with head movement (sparring) I appreciate you educating us on the kicking, but I will assume you didn't watch the full video because I cautioned everyone of the follow up head kick and even paused framed myself getting booted in the head. I never advised anyone to go into a fight looking to dodge strikes and I mentioned to not repeat the same head movement patterns. Also as Lawrence Kenshin stated, I adjust my fighting style depending on my opponents strengths and weaknesses.

@@MMAShredded I do not disagree with use of head movement but the main problem is how far you drop down while employing it especially while moving out of range. Pure (extremely low) boxing head movement is just an overall bad idea in any kicking sport especially while moving backwards. Its simply a great way to get caught by an advancing opponent. Small slips and ducks are effective and great ways to set up counters but moving away and breaking posture isnt. To each their own I guess.

agreed!

@@nigas1717 ok.

thank you for your kind words RED!

thanks brother!!

slipping is funnnn

Keep slipping in orthodox stance, bouncing going forward in your stance slipping from right to left, and then change stance into southpaw and practice doing the same bouncing motion in that stance backwards and forwards.

Have you improved a lot?

LOOOOL

F

Did it hurt? 😂

When I tried this technique I got a knee to the head😂😂😂

@@ishmaelgaming4329 like masvidal did to the guy in octagon 😂😂😂😂

haahhaha

Rhonda never watched this video and probably should have...lolol

hahahaha

Edmond Tarverdyan liked this video. "Ronda! Head movement! Head movement!"

hahahaha

thanks tiago!!

sweet thanks for the feedback man!

thx!!

One thing to add to the Head movement notes is that Anderson and Prince Naseem would dodge with hands down as counter balances for quicker follow-ups and odd angles, not to mention automatic underhooks.

true! thanks!

should of added that point haha

MMAShredded if you haven't checked him(?) out already, BJJscout is super technical, even with striking analysis. Case in point, his Conor preview just today. Speaking of Conor, this is a really really abstract and contentious idea, but are there ways to increase your reflexes and trigger speed for fighting? It seems so subjective but i haven't seen a video on that yet.

Yes I have seen a few of BJJ Scout's videos! And reflexes are developed through drilling over and over again.

thank you so much for the support!

thanks for watching!

Yeah!! exactly my thoughts! I use to use the glory style tight guard but it just makes contact to the brain too much.

Yeah you are absolutely right. I just started one and a half months ago but that always kind of seemed odd to me to defend solely like that. Thank you again very much for your videos, they help tremendously and it is great to see someone who is conscious about his health and not just "spar hard all the time train hard fight hard" haha :D Could you do one on buakaw? Or what I'm especially interested in are powerful teeps :)

oops just saw you made on buakaw already haha

haha all good!

thanks brother! yeah we are forever students!

hahahaaa

thanks for the suggestion!

hey Mo3taz!!

thanks so much for the support Mac!

thank you!!

jk btw great video

haha thnanks sfor watchin

That shit wont work against boxer especially if good a footwork or punching while moving or spacing there alot thay goes into head movement he only explain the basic shit. But one that certainly approve ur defensive skill is footwork. Slippin uses uo way to much energy and is easy to get counter if you predictable. Look boxer like PRETTY BOY Floyd NOT MONEY MAYWEATHER. Bernard Hopkins Sugar ray leonard Lomechenko they excute slipin and Footwork very well. Incorporate that in your game all this shit he teach in video will seem irrelevant no disrespect to dude he knows enough. But not enough to be constantly effective safe and confident to practice these technique real time. Because some are either to advane for some or just irrelevant because everyone naturally had the own way mean some aremot as quick some dont have the build footwork or eye coordination to lsnd shots aftet a slip. He need to show the footwork to build up these techniques hell does even included steppin at angles I mean there a lot thats goes into just slipinn.

@@west29007 lmao yea it will if it's like a mma fight dude lots of boxers come to my gym and try to get into mma but when there just used through jabs atraighs and hooks boy a boxer gonna have to reach me before you do lol I get your point but still though

You control the distance and kick his legs so he can´t box!
