The Ultimate Technique To Close Distance 

I love finding unique footwork applications. This one was a self discovery... I didn't realize I was doing it until teaching a move in class and a student pointed out that I wasn't doing the footwork I said to do. We had to reverse engineer what I was actually doing and this came out of it. Once we realized what it was, the applications started to come out of the woodwork without even trying to find them. My students often teach me the best stuff! If there are any other aspects of footwork that you were curious about, let us know here in the comments and I will get to it!

Fr bro

I'm also in HK, I have my 2nd amateur fight next month (Kickboxing)

Glad you found it useful!

It's pretty common for five different instructors to call the same move five different things, haha. Regarding bringing your feet together or not, I consider that a matter of appropriating the length of your steps to account for the distance you need to cover. More distance, bigger steps. Less distance, smaller steps. "Always" and "never" are really tough words in this sport. 😉

This movement has been very good to me over the years! Hopefully it works as well for you. 🙏

That is high praise. Thank you.🙏

@@deskashadow452 sorry I missed this question until now! There are many uses for the bounce step. We're recording again today and I'll make sure to cover this a bit.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nhTDPvJQe4k.htmlsi=8kcwnabLADXsyYfp Here you go! Let us know if this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

I helped him with a couple of the lessons, yes. I've had the good fortune to be a training and sparring partner with him over the years. You've never met a more disciplined person, haha.

Thank you! Please let us know if there's anything specific you would like to learn about!

I often say that it's pretty hard to come up with anything new, lol. The best we can say is that we haven't seen it before.

@@Nobody12546 it should work exactly the same for a southpaw or for somebody facing a southpaw. This technique is simply about covering ground. The targets available to you are slightly different in an open stance matchup but that's up to you to figure out how to take advantage of. Is there a specific reason for your concern or a certain situation that you have a question about?

@@martialartsunlimitedvictoria when i first started learning martial mostly boxing with my brother at like 5 years old i didn’t have a trainer just movies (bruce lee) and RU-vid so i just lead with my right hand cause it felt right (im right handed) this lack of knowledge went on to be a bit of a problem learning orthodox techniques not knowing im fighting southpaw but when i started learning mauythai on my own it was like opening a locked door since when i joined a mma gym i was taught the difference between orthodox and southpaw now for me learning techniques both ways is a fun way for me to practice since i can fight both sides now. Thanks for the feedback

You're right... There's no way this technique would work! I should have thought of that... 🤔

There are situations where people will sit, parry, and move back without intercepting jabs that are tall. Go watch a Remy Bonjasky fight. Moves straight back with no jabs which is perfect for this technique. It is not all black and white!

That's precisely why he's throwing a faint as soon as the feet start moving. Watch closely.

That sounds like a good alternate name for it. As I'm sure you've experienced, you can find the same move from five different coaches each with their own name for the move, haha. If "gallup step" is what you're used to thinking about it as, go with that and then just take the application from the video and make it your own. Come back and let us if you were able to make it work!

@@martialartsunlimitedvictoria Yes! Every gym has his own jargon 🙂 Like one gym calling leg kick "low kick" , push kick and "maygeri" and ect'. You give a great techniques i really love it! It's first time i came across your channel please create more videos thank you!🙏
