Sawatdee! Simple and effective. Thanks for sharing! How about a set-up for a southpaw high kick vs orthodox?

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

@SouthpawJonJon If you google our blog for Southpaw techniques we have a couple of moves up there. They work for Southpaws as well as against them. We have a total of 15 techniques are set ups available in our members only area.

The overhead view at the end of the video is a nice touch.

Most mma fighters throw overhand rights rather than straight rights so when they say circling into the power hand it applies especially for that. I'd never try this to a Hendo, but it still should work in a fight as the head should move back far enough that they don't reach you. It's actually a brilliant setup if you can master it

@ruebuscm Did I mention this guy is a master fighter from a line of Chinese fighters, trained since age 4. I've got my own side-kick, caught his side kick, swept, which he single leg jumped over but he wasn't able to duck my knees or power hooks. Parrying his side-kick is fruitless b/c his balance is so strong. He just re-cocks and crushes me. I'll try to video our sparring. The good news is we fight 15-20 mins straight, no rounds, knock the hell out of each other, come up laughing.

@FightPhysics Try to parry or catch the kick. You catch a side kick in front of your body and you've got a few sweeps just waiting for you. :) If you parry and your quick with your legs you can probably get a kick of your own off while he's off balance from his kick being thrown aside. I love sidekicks. Learn to use 'em, too!

Great Video as always. I've been sparing with an extremely good fighter (reg stance) with cannon side kick that comes up from the floor. He's strong/balance/trained perfection. I (southpaw) check the kick w/ my lead leg but he's so fast, no opening for counter. I turn my body, check it to the side, his balance is so good, he re-cocks and -re-fires. Leading w/ punches is futile b/c his kicks keep me (74" reach) out of range. Suggestions? Signed, tired of footprints on my nice white t-shirts :)

Question, could this be used to set up say.. a spleen shot, or maybe a leg kick? Or, how would this look if you wanted to switch kick the liver, and they throw a right hand?
