@suicyde240 Thank you very much. Help us keep the project going. Pick up one of our Damage Control TShirts or even better, a membership from our offical vlog.

Your Jabs counters are good, but the split counter would work well for boxing but in MMA the stepping off would open you up for a spinning back kick. What say you?

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

@superfoot53 Every technique has a counter. Even the ones here you didn't mention. You show me a technique that is impossible to counter and that's the only technique I'll ever use. Why waste my time with the ones that might get me busted. In addition, the spinning back kick is a relatively difficult technique to use well. And when you consistenly use a variety of jab counters, it's difficult for your opponent to figure out when you're going to step off for the split.

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

@TakingItToTheMMAT Throw the spinning back kick when your opponent slides left instead of steps off to his right and your spinning back kick can get countered with an elbow to the back of your dome. Everything has a counter. :)

You guys have great videos. I have been training Thai in new jersey for some time and have really been searching for new theories and perspectives on habits and drills and I found your videos. Wish I was in Salt Lake to train with you guys. These tips and especially the "hit him back" philosophy are really great, THANKS!

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

@bozomcbozo Thank you for the support. You don't need to be in Salt Lake. There are a number of most excellent instructors in your neck of the woods. I have travelled to study under the Thai Boxing Association Instructors located in your area. Khuen Khru Jeff Jones, Khuen Khru Rick Tucci and Mike Lee, Khuen Khru Joe Cargado are but a few. I learn from these wonderful instructors on a regular basis. Best of luck sir /\

I tend to wait too much for people in sparring as well. Especially if kicks are involved, because I wait for them to make a move so I can angle a kick and punish them. I'm definitely gonna have this in the back of my mind at all times.

[Easy11019]

Really great advice at the end. I realized I do the same thing in sparring all the time. I wanna try a new counter so I sit and wait for the opening, leaving myself vulnerable. I distract myself by thinking about one move I wanna try and miss other opportunities because of it. It's a really great insight that seems obvious, but I make that mistake all the time. Just react to what your opponent gives you.
