Fuck that was funny, you got me bro

I don’t get it 🤦🏽‍♂️

What if he has a wrench?

xSaBBaTHxx Excellent question! That’s precisely how you train. As the legendary, Patches O’Houlihan said, “If you can dodge a wrench...”

You said dodge 2 times..

@@slayfc7960 that second dodge was for your question 🤣

What's with Tony & the 'type of guy' comment? can you pls explain?

@@EdenPrime7 this is FightTIPS bro! Keep it clean haha.

@@hard2hurt I was quoting Nick Diaz lol when he fought Condit he told him that during the fight haha

@@hard2hurt you going passive aggressive on him bro?

Spinning...Stuff

Actually the best defence against poweful kicks is the combination of evasive action and blocking simultaneously. In the advanced Kung-Fu like the Shaolin and Wudang this is clearly observed. Not only the body should avoid shapes like the "C" mentioned, but also the "evasive blocking" should be accompanied with a counter strike or this is implied ( so as the students build up their thinking capacity ).

That's a problem I usually have when I'm defending against a barrage of punches (especially if a kick is coming right after that)

A recommendation I have that works for me is to stay keep range. If you keep range then your reflexes have an easier time finding what attack is coming. From what I've heard the average reaction time is 0.5 seconds. So if an attack takes longer to hit, then you can dodge it easier.

First check for 'Groin restomp prohibited' signs. There may be restricted hours.

You see it alot in MMA and just general kickboxing/muay thai though, people like Silva or Adesanya do this all the time. Practice makes perfect.

Dean I’ve done this many times tho and my striking sucks lol. I would agree tho that it takes precision and I personally prefer safer techniques than some of these, but people who practice it I would think use it extremely effectively. I see it in muay thia all the time

You have to drill this type of stuff 3-5 times a week for years for this stuff to work perfectly on another trained opponent. And Even then, pro fighters do a fight camp where they prep a game plan and sharpen a specific arsenal set against a specific opponent. I wouldn't use these very specific attack's for self defense. Nut shots, eye pokes, and I'm punching someone's throat if I feel in danger In a real life situation

@@user-xn8po True, but what do you really gain? If you stay close to him, you can catch the kick, or at least block it and remain close to him. Whereas, dodging provides you no advantage.

Yes it really has. Just watch high level Muay Thai and you will see this frequently. It takes skill, balls and knowledge.

THIS!!

waterlegend72 I was just thinking of him while watching this! (It’s Saenchai lol)

Kb Calib all of these slips technically work with any kind of kick. You just have to be able to read the opponents strikes to then adjust if need be. Realistically a front kick/teep or a side kick in order to work effectively need to reach a certain distance to have maximum effect so if someone aims a sidekick or teep to your body and you move it back about 2 inches making the C-shape then chances are you’re completely out of range for that 1 kick. The problem becomes when the person catches on to your slips and begins to feint their kicks or starts to double up of the kick like how Shane was saying after the roundhouse kick with the momentum carried you can spin into a different strike like a blackfish, spinning elbow, etc. you just have to be ready to intercept another strike if need be after avoiding the 1st one. Hope this helped

Any kick on the body you can use the C-shape lean to evade if you are good at distance and reading. I think stepping back works best for this kicks you said, and you dont lose the opportunity to counter as they are longer than the "normal" kicks. Spinning kicks I like to counter then in the same time they are thrown, like teep in the back (lol). Axe kick and other ones in the head can all be evaded by leaning back (axe is REALLY easy to counter, just spar and you will see It).

Distance knowledge is the most important thing in martial arts for me.

yea thats what i really like about 1v1 fighting games. i do this with dark souls arena just thinking about how real life mma concepts can apply to it lol.

@@Shad0wmoses I was just thinking about the similarities to dark souls pvp and mma. It's pretty crazy how close they are. Outspace your opponent then counter, make reads, do they attack once or twice? Do they spam the same attack? Really cool similarities

Distance, and footwork. This is where kata is really good for me. It's forcing me to really focus on footwork and spatial awareness.

Been applying " space and time " to Mortal Kombat 11 recently since I've picked it up in UFC 2 lol. Spacing is everything. Even in real life. The space you occupy, actually matters. And the time you occupy that certain space, is also very important. That's all life is, space and time.

Been 2 years, so… Did you get the answer to that question?

Justis Beverly ✅

I think a more squared stance would like to counter. Like the leg grabbing to sweep, or the straight to the head. Technically you can use more than one stance in fights, as each one has their strenghts. So I think the ideal would be getting into the best stance to counter to opponent in time, if you can read him.

No its not, the way shane is dodging the head kicks is called 'pulling'. Slipping is a lateral movement, not a lineal movement

There’s no slipping in this video keyboard coach

@@thedaddyfish4808 correct thanks!!

Mystic Madman I always hear “slipping” as referring to the head tilt (actually tilting at the hips to move the head) in a side to side motion to avoid straight punches. You see it in boxing a lot.

Which will miss

@@kbanghart shows what you know

@@mysty0 yep

Hey, thanks so much for having me today! Had a great time hanging with you all 😊

I also prefer/recommend looking at the chest. The eyes lie (i.e. look low, strike high) but by looking at the chest you can use peripherals to see all movement from their shoulders to their feet 👍

@@fighttips Thanks! And once again, great video!

India?

Yes

Were you at my seminar? 😉👍

probably, but that assumes it is coming from the side rather than straight on. Also, it could be a fake high that goes low.

@@annoyed707 You can usually tell what side it's coming from. Even if its a straight kick you'd keep your guard on that side up. But if you get in the habit of dropping the hand on the side its coming from, it's only a matter of time until they fake a teep and then go high. IMO anyways

It's not just a matter of kicking with your shin thai kicks use completely differant body mechanics than tkd kicks clearly tkd was burned into your muscle memory so i highly doubt you are using proper thai technique otherwise using your shins would simply make sense to you. You need to retrain your body the thai style and treat them as their own tools

Answer back with an answer kick LOL

yeah they do

bilboswaggins76 give them a good kick to the ribs or thigh and I’m sure they will step it down a notch

"Slacking"....gains 16KG...wtf

Nathan Wyatt I broke my arm and kept eating like shit lmao what do u expect but yea ik my body is weird

jaymark esguerra at ur local gym...

@@anton-ou2lg thanks bro!

If read it well the kick is going to completely miss. Just watch high level Muay Thai and see all the things shown in this video.

Yep..

If you practice your movements and reactions over and over and over, you can get to where just slight movements can throw off your opponent's kicks a lot. That's basically what the best fighters are able to do.

Great question! So these evasions work especially well with round kicks. The side kick and axe kick attack straight down the center line, meaning you have to evade by stepping left or right, or even by stepping in to jam them up 👍

Gotta keep it PG 😊
