The angles and pivots are correct but he keeps touching his feet and blading his stance

[RealContactFighter]

Oh?

[zdoshi6969]

very technical yet still very practical

excellent as a partner drill or a solo drill

"solo drill" you say?

yes "solo drill"!

"solo drill" as in kata?

yes i think this might just be the first MMA Kata

Don't get carried away now =)

Glad to hear you guys like it. There are a lot of influences in this material coming from all different types of arts. I've made it a promise to myself to make sure my fighters have good footwork instead of the flat footed, stagnant footwork we see these days in modern MMA. I think the footwork is going to be the next huge breakthrough.

too much switching of your stance can confuse an amateur, and is bad if you can't fight from that position. Moving into the power side is okay if you have a plan of attack or counter. To always move away from power makes you one dimensional. I train my fighters to attack from all directions. It didn't matter if bisping would have moved away from henderson's power he still would have gotten ko'd!.

@rc198028 For me it's about controlling the rhythm of the fight. If my opponent is moving around me while I simply do quarter turn pivots then he will be able to engage me at anytime, but I would have to catch up to him. I like the looks of that diamond step because it looks like it puts you a half beat in front of a circling opponent. I'm excited to try to drill this footwork today.

Great teacher with very good ideas.

[monomariodog]

does this wooks for boxing too?

At time 4:05: If your opponent is circling round you, why not just pivot? Excuse my ignorance - my background is in boxing. Cheers.

in the first example of being cornered isn't he circling into the power hand? and in the swing step it looks like he's crossing his legs which is bad in MMA

@heat4yoass The video description says it's for kickboxing right? That swing step can be used to quickly power up kicks from unexpected angles, and against people who are moving around you at close range.

I've actually won on that once. The opponent was much smaller but much faster. I was steamrolling best I could, into the corner, and he was slipping out to my left. Then I did that swing step and launched it into a midkick.

No block, so it broke his will to fight. And my metatarsal bone. ;-)

Wrong wrong wrong on the footwork. In boxing, when moving the back foot, the front foot should shift, then the back foot should shift towards it. Same goes for opposite, except your back foot will lead then your front foot. I should know. I'm not sure if this is only Muay Thai, but in boxing, you do what you did in a boxing match, you'll end up tripping a lot from simultaneous punches or by your own footing.
