Khuen Khru Brian Yamasaki demonstrates some basic counters to the Overhand Right. These techniques can be applied to MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing.
That's the same thing people said facing Ali. But they were wrong :'). With the right speed and experience, falling back and countering can be devestating, but you got to know what youre doing. That's exactly what the guy says. I do not agree with the last part of your comment, that it's most effective - but I do agree that when in doubt: circle. It's the safest thing to do. Boxing is timing: know when to take a risk!
street fight indeed made by overhand punch. here in the philippines we never use any kind of punch in the street but only this punch. maybe you haven't seen overhand punch bombardment. it is many and faster than a shoeshine.
@TakingItToTheMMAT , I've put the Turn Back Kick Set Ups as a video response so you can see how moving outside and off the line of the Jab (the 1 in the 1 - 2 combination) is not without it's own set of problems. The list of "could happens" is limitless. In the end, you've just got to go with what you feel is best.
the stuff this guy teaches will save your ass in a street fight.I should know,I have had many crafty boxers try to take my head off and the crafty boxer especailly if he is a muscle guy can be very scary but the stuff this guy teaches is no non sense reality.
When you pull back or snap back as you like to say it I was thought to keep my rear hand up while my lead hand dropped but my lead shoulder tucked into my chin. We do it like that to easily recover from the pull since putting your weight when you pull back makes it hard to come back up. When in other wise, having your lead hand down, makes it easy to build back momentum for that straight right counter or left if you’re a southpaw
@ianrussell999, by circling, you could be running straight into a turn back kick or spinning heel kick or swing elbow, or spinning backfist. You don't know that he's not setting you up for that too. There's no technique that will work 100% of the time. That's not to say that circling out isn't a great way to deal with any type of tecnique, which is why it was the first option shown in this video. Best of luck to you and all they ways you deal with striking techniques.
You are not catching them with a short left hook if they are skilled! Defend the overhand FIRST! You step in thinking you’re going to hit them with a short left hook but they hit you with a short overhand
New here but ive noticed that, as EVERY good instructor points out, the best defense is footwork and posture....... but that brings me to a question. Say a guy is running towards u with an overhead, where he drops his head and doesnt watch where his punch is going, would it be better to counter with an uppercut or knee OR evade??
wut about slip and a simultaneous right straight counter? a looping overhand vs. a straight - the straight'll get there faster and the slip gets your head out the way, know wat im sayin, plus ur opponent would be moving into it
Question: With the over hand right, its a really wide swing as it kind of circles around to reach its target, then, if your fast cant you step right into it before it gains any power, but use a fast right straight at the same time to counter any potential left jabs or hooks?
Step to the outside and use your natural movement away for a right hook, assuming it's right overhand...but have a quicker, shorter left hook to come straight in so you counter the counter again. if you connect on the first, the quick left hook will almost definitely score a knockdown unless you're either a pillow puncher or facing Dr Ironchin
@@JacobStevens13 Yoo I fought an ironchin twice won the first, lost the second. Second he hit my nose (was dislocated or sumthing by an iron when i was 8,) w a hook n knocked ME down. You see I had already watched this video n attempted to do wat was said. Did NOT work against Sir Ironchin down here.
@anhzor straight or hook.. either way it'll hurt ;). i just figure with your body torqued and leaned to the right after slipping, you can whip your hips around for a pretty big hook.
Im no know it all but I know a boxer would probablly weave not slip "make a "U" shape from the inside to the outside of his left shoulder (going under his arm) and counter with a left hook. to the ribs, jaw or both.
I think I am to face a short, stocky, not fast, pretty powerful guy, who throws overhand rights with his body weight behind them in karate. I can't duck because he is shorter. Mostly I will try to back off right and left, but I am also thinking to counter with a teep maegeri, left round house or left knee. I am not sure. I can see them coming but I usually just evade the battering ram.
Aren't these returns and not counters? Counters are when you wait for him to throw an offense and you go right away with your own offense to interrupt him. As a counterfighter, I usually counter this by slipping left & at the same time, throw a right cross or own overhand right...he would usually hit my right shoulder while I hit his face. Just last week, I dropped one guy trying a superman punch & yesterday another fool didn't get dropped b/c he tagged my right shoulder w/a superman punch
Earlier I sparred with my cousin(boxing but only allowed to hit the body), he always used an overhand right, the step to the side was effective but i have a hard time to counter because he is fast and I have medium speed, and everytime he punches he hits with his palms, like a slap, I want to find a way to counter punch an overhand right.
@lhkjk i seen alot of ufc fights well to me 10 matches are a lot and then people rarely do site step or even go 3d . they just stand there in one direction .. maybe it is not that easy maybe its mentally though to stay cool.. but i rarely see any nice fights not in boxing nor in ufc.. its like they stand there in one dimension and its so strange.. its as if they are 2d characters
Wouldn't it be more practical, and require less movement to simply slip to the right, cup the right side of your head with your arm, and counter with a right hook? may require abit better timing, but the overhand is a pretty slow punch
I don't train, but I do watch a lot of fights very closely. Do you think a slip to the outside (moving left instead of right) would be a good counter to this punch? If they were thowing more of a right hook than an overhand right I guess that would be a bad idea. After the slip though the opponent's head is usually hanging out far for a left hook counter. Dan Hardy caught Rory Markham with that recently I think.
@reppin49dank Your stupid comment is akin to saying lets see you counter Tyson's Hook, Ali's jab. This video is for people to use in their fights, not fantasy match up's!
im no expert myself but it looks like he hasnt used the overhand right too much, hes throwing it basically like a wild haymaker. it should look like ur splitting wood or doing your sledge hammer drills with one hand onley, the hand should b obove your actual head not level with it. figured id try to help and not be a dooshy "keyboard warrior" lol
