Alex went in a podcast in Brazil where he talks abt going to different gyms at the start of his career and the coaches wanting to "correct" him but he always saw that as his style and he believes in his own style. Shame its in portuguese... and there's also a course recorded by Alex and Plínio where he teaches a few things of his footwork and this one on this video is just one of his sneaky techniques.

Pereira's instructional on BJJFanatics is also fantastic, vaguely recall this being in there aswell. Though it isn't an unfair criticism that his style is very tall man oriented, most of his stuff works better with a height/range advantage. The losses in his kickboxing career have mostly been a result of that.

Pereira is a legend, he gives you the illusion that you are doing good against him, let you hit him minimizing the damage to caught you and it's night night. You can see that he gets hit a lot, but most of the punches he is rolling with the punches to minimize the damage, and when he counters it's a hard hit, he uses lots of tricks to get openings, like jabbing the opponents hands to force the opponent to counter, then he avoids and counter back, its a very high fighting IQ.

That hand low and feinting is much better in my opinion… you keep your distance you can see every kick or jab coming and you can feint if necessary.

Floyd Mayweather has another tricky technique to control the distance for the fade to counter, but not sure how easy is it to use outside of boxing. What he does is baiting the jab by having his head a bit further in front of the center line, and that way, when he fades back, he just goes to a proper stance and is not bending back. That makes the counter faster, since he doesn't have to pop back to proper position, he is already there.
@ChucksSEADnDEADАй бұрын
It also works in kickboxing with a sharp low kick defense. Typically I bait with the head and those that don't bite will try to low kick the lead leg. A sharp defense and a good return kick after blocking will discourage the kick so they'll go for the head.

Might depend on who sparring vs & what they train in. Sparring high guard knowledgable boxers with that lean back cross if you dont rattle them with that cross, next time you lean back & they pick its coming they block it and press forward with continuous punches while your off balance. Could use it drawing them in do the small step forward lean cross then immediately after step+ pivot away from their power hand & reset
@IvanLabrieАй бұрын
Great stuff, Gabriel! I suppose Mayweather already does this but in a slightly different way, he widens his base moving his front foot a half step forward, then sits with his weight more on the front foot to tease the opponent before pulling back to return a cross as a counter.

I saw GSP explain something similar in a video some time ago… but he was closing in the distance first, then fading back to create the illusion to his opponent that he was in a safe range, but due to his feet position he could still explode forward with a jab or Superman punch and catch them clean. It also helps that he has arms long as a gorilla, lol.

Saw an explanation of some adasanya footage that went over similar concepts. Adasanya is also really good at evading a strike while putting his body in a place that allows him to counter quickly and with power. I feel like Israel is a little bit more flexible in the upper body though he looks like hes fighting on his heel leaning back but his momentum is carrying him forward.

I have been using this for a long time, but instead of as a way to dodge and then strike back, it's a dodge where the counter takes place simultaneously. The easiest and most consistent way is using southpaw stance, as a counter to the jab. Use a looping right haymaker, at the same moment that you step your right foot inward and forward, and roll your midsection and neck diagonally backwards. So you're stepping in, rotating stance, and rolling with the punch all at the same time. But adding this version seems like a brilliant idea to me

You see this sometimes in full contact Karate, but I think it's usually accompanied by a jab as you're twisting in that kind of fade This is really interesting because I think by not jabbing you can see a little bit more and your opponent isn't going to be as skittish since you didn't throw a strike yet. Then suddenly that cross comes out and it's the only thing you're focused on, so it's really scary.

Just tested it after a lifetime of doing it the traditional way.
