Sounds like it’s time to learn how to wrestle lol

[@Zobokolobozo]

@@Ariovistus50 Its neither of the other comments explaination. Sitting down means bending ur legs and getting a strong base. Its the opposite of being light on ur feet. If ur on ur toes light on ur feet you can move alot faster but if ur planted and ur sitting down into ur stance you become very stable. A fighter who fights light on his feet is all the karate guys. Wrestlers tend have a strong base and "Sit on their stance". Also most punchers who dont mind trading "brawlers" in boxing. If i hit someone who is light on their feet and they dont move away in time they will be sent flyin but a person with a solid base wont but then again its harder to avoid the punch. For gamers the analogy is you have dps stance and you have tank stance. Ofc theres so many stances/styles you can have but usually its just a mix between being lightfooted and being solid in ur punches and ur base. I personally like to switch stances alot from karate stance to boxing and south paw even square up and do the JJ wrist control.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

​@@trzygowytrebacz5921 Smokers are fights you get into to build experience, depending on what the culture is like they could be completely unsanctioned and organized by gyms so they don't go on your record. I think the term comes from the fact that in the old days you could smoke indoors. One of my first fights was on a makeshift ring in a literal basement of a friendly gym. By the third round my corner asked to hold back a little, we don't got beef with their gym so there's no point in beating the other guy too bad.

[@Joel-wj9ql]

Nah, if he steps back you're still good. You only really fully jump with the right leg, so if he pulls back it's just a slightly downward teep. If for the split second you put weight on his knee he pulls back, you will probably damage his knee.

It also can go into a knee to the chin. Great recognition of being able to go for that technique. It only was able to be gone for because of his assessment of the other fighter while they were fighting and potentially set up with what he had done previously. Awesome job!~

[@ElDrHouse2010]

You can also headbutt, if your brow reaches his jaw there is an advantage there but I guess you never trained the headbutt like Lethwei. With the headbutt thats a way to have an advantage against a taller opponent. But often taller people have almost every other advantage.

To be honest if you actually pulled that off your opponent must have been caught off guard or had slow reaction speed, because normally a trained fighter would knock you out by the time you reach his hip

I call bologna. This is a move they preform in “Muay boran”, as a spectacle. If it were effective they would use it in Muay Thai, they don’t. To let yourself be completely airborne with no base is always a bad move. Don’t try this in a street fight, you’re gonna get smashed into the pavement.

and my way of fighting weighs that I fight as a muay thay in fact I have been in Italy for about 10 days I have to stay there for a month with the best teachers if I tell you what we had to do and suffer the first day my stomach couldn't handle it unfortunately it happens I gave it my all and this thing made me faint, there were those who could stomach it and everything. I had the problem with a Chinese boy who does a martial art similar to kickboxing, Sanda who also does Muay moves What Thai didn't know was that I had been doing Muay Thai and boxing for about 25 years. With a missed knee I broke his mouth only because he started throwing hard which is disrespectful to the fact that we are doing sparring and then on top of that they they do Sanda and they also do ground fighting like Wrestling and grappling!!!! For example, I don't know how to do any ground fighting, but I believe that there is no ground fighting in Muay Thai.🎉🎉

[@glennsmith3362]

It's always looking the same when a target doesn't return back a difference. Try it with a 6ft 18 stone male and see how things pan out with those unaffected kicks

[@aminkabuli9415]

Possibility of something like this happening and working out is very low because a real person is not going to stand there and let you use their hip like that . . Both fighters are moving at all time .. but it can happen if your opponent is very slow and don't have combat experience.

[@obiwanfx]

could you add that 95% of the time you'll be running right into the strechted out arm of your opponent? Cool if it works but very very risky

[@johnnyappleseed2277]

you need to know I know more about fighting than you do because real martial arts teaches you how to fight. for self defense and in combat. that technique is correct all the way until you land the kick. you want to use the TOP ball of your foot which the bottom palm heel located under the toes of your feet the reason why for this is so you dont break your foot. my point is going to be made here. It might work well in practice and it feels more natty but natty is wrong because the bones and cartilage tendendons on the top of your foor are soft and like I said it might feel okay to the foot in fighting practice because your hitting a soft surface that is padded. a skull is hard and takes 200lbs of pressure to break. so next time when your in a real match use the ball of you foot instead and you wont have to worry about wearing protection on your foot when you enter a fight even in practice and it will save you time and money not having to wrap your foot. I was in a real martial art in competition or in the class room did I ever have to wrap my foot, but I understand it is different because you are in a sport.

Pode ser. Mas faz o basico bem feito que certo também. Boas caneladas na perna, e chutes frontais no abdômen, e um ótimo controle da distância trazem um resultado excepcional
