@@user-zg6dj1bu3m Gabriel varga, mmashredded, coach Anthony, silve von Douglas ittu, wonderboy, Tony Jeffries are all good for striking. If you go through my subs the fight related stuff are all solid. None of that "the weasle" type crap.
5:39 (5:42) is a masterclass in how to check low-kicks. I've seen it at 1/4 normal speed (0.25) more than a hundred times already and I still find new things to learn. 1 Almost all the energy put in the kick came snapping back at the black dude, so fast and violently to the point he's unable to direct the leg back to regroup. Instead it bounce right into his lead leg and makes him trip and fall. 2 The angle of the checking knee. 3 If the checking leg, from the knee down is raised as dead weight or with muscle contraction and purpose. (I think is dead weight and loose). 4 The angle of that part of the leg, not perpendicular to the ground but at 45 degrees, just in case the kick goes trough as result of bad reading or timing and deflect most of its power and energy. 5 The damage sustained by the kicker's knee as a result of that snap back: you can see him looking closely at his knee after he falls, dead worried he fractured or tore ligaments, the pain must have been awful. As he stands up he carefully takes the leg far to the back and only when it's at a 90 degrees angle with the floor he dares putting weight on it. (Only after passing his visual inspection). That's just some of the lessons from those 4 seconds alone, I'm sure there're far more than I can gather, for the trained eye. For the guy talking through it was just a : "Oh oh..." :D At least in the short amount of time they have to talk between the play by play they acknowledge what happened and the consequences for the black dude. Good job on their part.
Awesome. Just a KB beginner here, but: You can also see as Ambang starts the kick, Joe pushes off and braces into it, perhaps to 1. have Ambang get hurt on the kick/2. bounce Ambang's body back and his leg to bad position (what mostly happened)/3. pick up a counter, e.g. a 2 or 3 and then rear leg kick.
Both fighters are really good, crisp technique and powerful blows. The more I watch these fights the more I see that it's all about the low leg kicks. Whoever wins that battle more often than not tends to win the fight. Really good fight though by both fighters. Joe is a beast
actually not.. lol the coach had something on his hand and its used to "wake up" the fighter, usually applied in between rounds. Its a smelling scent similar to thai rubbing oil or Vicks. Its legal in Thailand and im assuming in Glory too.
This is why the Bruce Lee quote will forever stay true.... "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." You can not beat a guy that has such solid fundamentals unless you also possess those at a higher level! One of the best Kickboxers that ever lived imho.
I remember this fight I was gonna watch at italian social club but didn't happen. So my gf and my son and I walked to Joe's parents house. His mom was home fight was on. She was nervous to watch it cause she never watched him fight pro yet. She listened to them. Love u enza. Anyway she brought me in her house I was grateful for that. I cried years of joy. It was a great fight and great memory for me. Love the whole family. Sincerely Rob cats
I like these rules because they force action. Muay Thai fights can be incredibly boring at times because of the way the fights are scored and because a lot of fighter like to do absolutely nothing in the clinch. I agree that elbow should be allowed tho. GLORY rules with elbows.
i highly disagree with muay thai fights being boring sometimes, its incredibly entertaining if you solely focus on the beautiful tecnique. But i must agree that glory kickboxing is more fun just striking alone, but i miss the clinching because clinching is super entertaining.
