5 Ways to Stop Aggressive Opponents in MMA

[@BRAINFxck10]

5 More Ways to Stop an Aggressive Opponent In MMA 1. Pull Counter @ mid range 2. Oblique Kick @ long range 3. Overhand Punch @ close range 4. Spinning Elbow @ close range 5. Flying Knee @ low level changes

[@marcusmvpgoat1236]

@H-town281 A wen u spread ur legs it's harder for the to reach u without falling off balance u can see it happening to some of floyds opponents

[@Sir_Isaac_Newton_]

oblique kick should be avoided as much as possible imo, unless it's a real life situation

[@lessthanpinochet]

How do you address clinching which is almost guaranteed to happen with a aggressive opponent?

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz9840]

What’s pull counter (sorry I’m new to this)

[@kurmancipatron6782]

Hahahahah wtf you talking. Overhand punch in close range??? Hshshahahaha

[@idontlikesand7246]

Thanks, I've been finding myself overwhelmed by an aggressive fighter even though I knew a whole lot of moves and tricks. This video is very helpful.

[@arandompersonlol1202]

@Joe Blow you're basically talking about the oblique kick

[@MultiRainday]

Just keep your distance, if you lack training and reflex try dodging and covering your head as that's the only thing they know to hit, their brain doesnt know they can hit body shots. But for someone without training they will easily tire after bursting for many missed shots. I don't recommend parrying or counter punching if youre not fast enough or you'll be a victim of Mike Tyson's line which is "Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the head". Be smart and play safe, cover your face and head, sweep side to side. When you feel they are tired after a couple of seconds, their punches will be weaker and slower, time to counter. Also mix your footwork, be unpredictable. Instead of keeping distance all the time you can actually surprise them by moving forward suddenly followed by a hook to the liver or uppercut. Always keep your head low when dodging. Tldr you keep distance and going side to side while covering your head and face then surprise them with forward movement with a hook to the body. Don't listen to this bullshit kicking them to the legs or pushing them with front kick. These are for experienced fighters

[@MultiRainday]

For opponents who keeps their distance but keeps on throwing jabs and straights, Just go lower mike tyson style while getting near and hit their body with a hook or an upper cut to their chin. Follow it up with the moves and combos you know to bring them down. Most people don't expect attack to the body and they don't know how to defend it

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

The first street fight I ever got in when I was 13 I took a guy out with a toe kick. I didn't know what the hell I was doing, I just saw him coming at me and he was a lot bigger than me so I instinctively kicked him in the stomach and my foot was pointed. Took the wind right out of him.

[@Slimronin]

adensanya liked to control his opponents by stiff arming them while they went forward to attack if they get too close adensanya turns his stif arm into a thai clinch and throwing a knee to the head as he pulls it in. darren till uses a great technique by fighting fire with fire he sometimes waits the opponent to rush forward and intercept them with an uppercut

[@lukagg998]

nobody talks about this but uppercuts are sick against those who like to cover up and blitz forward, especially if ur taller and have a reach advantage, frame off their head with the left and stick an uppercut inside

A good front leg side kick to the stomach, works great for charging, aggressive opponents!

[@GoulouMalouku]

If they got some wrestling they just need to grab the leg and take you down though, happened to me before.

[@Twobarpsi]

@@GoulouMalouku running into a good front leg side kick, is like running into a subway turnstile that's locked! Plus your leg is a lot longer than your opponent's arms. Very effective!

[@globalproductandgamingreview]

[@IDRUSKI]

thx today i had to deal with a kid he blitzed me then literally just walked off to the bench next to him. even tho i didn't get hurt at all what pissed me off was i had literally almost turned my full back on him while shelling up and i hadn't got a single hit in. thx for the vid

[@gamrage]

My reflex is usually that check hook but it always deals serious damage to my opponent. My kung-fu master gets mad when I throw the check hook but not the front kick. Even if they react negatively towards both. I really want to tell them that if they're being too aggressive, I have to defend myself.

[@ronaldson57]

14 ways to stop aggresively opponent 1) teep kick 2) step back with jab 3)spinning back kick 4) spinning back fist 5) spinning hammerfist 6)switching stance while punching 7) step off 45 degree angle 8) pivoting left or right depending where the opponent charging you at 9) oblique kick very effective to stop aggressor from coming forward at you 10) blocking and countering at the same time because when you block your opponent punch you are at punching range plus by your opponent charging forward at you wild they leave themselve open for a counter 11)spinning elbow 12) flying knee 13) check hook 14) Uppercut while stepping back

[@david69funk]

[@internetexplorer7143]

#2 is very useful against drunk frat bros

[@AaaaAaaa-mw2nq]

The first fight I’ve been in, it was in 5th grade against the biggest guy in the class. When he went for the first punch, a straight, I dodged and ended up behind him. Then I wrapped around his neck and kicked out his knees. I felt cool, but I feel like I could’ve executed it better if I got time to prep. And I now realize that if I did that wrong, I could’ve injured one of us.

[@robscott351]

Great Stuff!!!

[@7rini7y7]

The techniques look effective enough from a short distance. I noticed for the CHECK HOOK and SPEAR ELBOW when you are hitting the opponent from either the right or left side with the hook or elbow, the lower right or left rib side is exposed to a possible hit. Like how do I keep that part protected for a possible knee or fist hit in that lower part side of the ribs? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

[@mieshatatesfartbox7155]

Brian Cherera Lift your lead knee up. I love to use my knees to protect my body. If they throw a punch or roundhouse to your body and land it on your knee, they will be VERY hesitant to throw more body shots

[@Primape92]

Note: with that first choice, that check hook, I'm a shorter dude. So I'd think if I stepped back from someone blitzing, it'd most likely maintain the range the opponent wants. So I'd think instead of stepping back and throwing a lead hook I'd probably wanna step IN and throw an overhand. Also would there have to be any other considerations for a southpaw fighter in that instance?

[@shiver1337]

Hey Shane I got a question. But first of all, nice video as always; great content! But, this is for mma/competition. I just got curious; what about in a street fight? In street fights, it’s very common for people to just rush in 100% and throw shots continuously without rest. How do I deal with it and make a move?? Any general tips to look for? Any angles I should be trying to pivot or make? Any specific hooks or punch strings that I should be utilizing..??

[@kvee6840]

All these combos go out the window in a real fight unless you actually train/spar and are used to getting hit. If you're really worried about protecting yourself learn to wrestle. If you're still in school, try out for the team. Striking is fun, but being able to throw people around and control them on the ground is much more valuable in a street fight, rather than gambling with striking.

[@shiver1337]

K Vee Thank you for the reply bro :) will consider those options, now that you’ve mentioned it. Have a nice day!

[@marceldeluca8612]

Shayne! A video for us who keep hitting the opponents elbows whenever kicking? I personally feel that this is the number one reason why I can't land any kicks, because I always hit an elbow.

[@fabian1763]

Set-up your kicks with the Jab. Even if the jab is Not landing, the next time u go for a Strike, Really try pretending to go for a jab again Then go for a Leg Or Body Kick. He is going to be blocking up top for the jabs u have Set-up And because ur Faking the jab to actually land the Kick. Make sure you're moving around when setting up the jab. Do not stay still.

Excellent video, just have a suggestion for the next time to make it seem more "realistic". Do the whole movement, simulating an intense blitz as in a real fight, instead of just using jab and cross (which is barely a blitz) slowly. Blitz implies the opponent doing a lot of strikes while he moves forward.
