THE BEST WAY NOT TO GET HIT IN MMA | BAZOOKATRAINING.COM 

Daniel Cormier implemented this hand fighting approach beautifully, especially in the latter half of his career

Hong Kong comic books that feature Triad gangs streetfighting really inspire me to train the grab/trap-punch techniques daily, both for fun, to look cool and to increase my creativity in the sport. And this video gives me impression that somehow I have chosen the right approach to the game. Many thanks for that, Joe !

NOW THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!!! Thank you Coach 👍

Excellent video! I'm confident in my high guard and head movement for MMA but my hand fighting could definitely use some more work. I'll be putting these tips to use, thanks Joe!

Fantastic thank you Joe!

Foot Work is the King of Defense and Offense

I wish i can even pick at some thing but these videos are flawless easily the best mauythai striking understanding ive seen on youtube n its consistent n free u guys better study up frfr

Beautiful video my coach, am actually having a mma tournament next month, am training boxing and am a judoka,but the boxing guard seems stupid and dangerous in mma,so this is really valuable to me

Hey joe, do a video on weight training for mma/kb and neck training. I feel like those are important topics which arent talked about enough!

This is were wing Chun gets added to mma not traidontal wing Chun but new age hand traps and pulls

Awesome video. Love hand fighting. Nick diaz n george foreman were great with hand fighting

Go joe! Joe go! 👊

I love the implementation of trapping in MMA this stuff is sick!

Banger video

The best way not to get hit in MMA........ be a spectator 👍 😂

who would've thought wing chun becomes fairly useful if you're at a high level in more fundamental styles! So many people fully discrediting it for so long but the techniques displayed here are very reminiscent

Amazing tips, my grandma didn't stand a chance! Thanks!

Wing Chun Guys: We said it all along... ^^

Yes daddy of kickboxing 😍 oh yeah yeah yeah 😍

Blocking with hands and pulling guard thats wot we did in Karate back in the day

I'm interested in your view on bare knuckles.The safest way not to break your hands. Thanks Joe

Adesanya used this a lot

That part at 5:10-5:50. Watch Glory 13, where Joe fights Nieky Holzken. The man is speaking from the experience of having been the fighter who was blasting shots and then got caught. Note that I'm not talking shit because I wouldn't even last half of a round with Holzken. It's just a perfect example of what he's talking about. That said, it's pretty cool that so much "it doesn't work" stuff that got ridiculed for the last decade-plus is now being taught as not only effective but some of the safest ways to not get hurt. For a real-world example, a drunk old man wanted to fight me one night. He threw a left and I caught it by the wrist with my right hand, then pinned it against his right hip. He threw a right and I repeated the process. Turned his hands so his palms were facing his body to remove the majority of his strength, cinched his arms up to his ribs, let him put himself off-balance, and then I gave him a little push that sent him tumbling and allowed me to walk away. He didn't hit me and I didn't have to hit him. Though, I could've done any number of things from this position. A sweep, release my right hand to throw some elbows, maybe work an arm bar or kimura, knees, head-butt, just release and start blasting shots, etc.. All of those would work in a sporting context, as well.

Jon jones was a great comparison, what if you’re a shorter fighter, would it be harder to pin or hand fight against a taller fighter?

Is it possible to hand fight with boxing gloves?

is handfighting still the most effective defense if you are fighting a taller opponent?

4:35

In MMA forward pressure isn't scored you can move back the whole time if you land more you'll win...look at adesanya lol

Smells and sounds a little bit like Wing Chun. Intercepting the fists. doesn't it ?

If someone could combine hand fighting with a jab they would be champ. Oh wait usman.

Even though Carlos Ulberg lost his last fight, he did alot of hand fighting in that fight, it looked so cool
