The stances, guard while throwing punches, hip rotation, full extension and execution of every shot of both the fighters is a thing of beauty. Such perfection. There are many things to learn from your videos. Have been following you since long time, Sir. Thank you!

[@indsrnty707]

Thank you so much for taking the time tp making these videos. I am a Muay Thai/ Kickboxing instructor at the local YMCA called Salvation Army Kroc Center. I watch vids all the time. Thanks ahaim keep up the good work.

[@zyx7478]

I have been watching these videos religiously and I’ve learned more from them than I have from some in person training I truly love Dutch kickboxing💯

[@BlazeShogun]

Your vids are some of the most well explained and sharply demonstrated that i've seen! Thank you Sir. Keep 'em coming!!

[@warriorcollective]

That is a really kind comment, I genuinely appreciate it. I have only done a few videos on here of myself coaching so it is nice to hear they are well received!!

[@__-to3hq]

wow the slight variations from muay thai are extremely effective

[@schuletrip]

Great tutorials.. Excellent stuff, thanks for taking the time to make these

[@mrsbootsworkouts]

Thank you for the explanation and demo! Amazing!

[@leepearce9215]

Great drills !! Thank you for the upload

[@pepsiyyyy]

I'm jealous of how good your technique is!

[@RavenburnX]

One word…EXCELLENT!

[@PawVlogs]

Awesome drills and I am loving the tutorial.

[@Mickodwyer100]

Awesome drills, thanks for the all the videos too! They're incredibly useful and watching them makes people better martial artists.

[@warriorcollective]

You are more than welcome, stoked to hear you are enjoying all the videos on this channel!! A lot of work goes into them so to hear them being appreciated is awesome! Thanks

[@SoloFan87]

I am a BJJ Practitioner and I prefer to Grapple and Fight with Submissions but I decided to Break out of My Comfort Zone of BJJ and Grappling and Dabble in Dutch Style Muay Thai since it is offered in my Gym I train at. I must say I love it!!!! Already in my 2nd Class and having a Blast!!!! The Drills and the Sparring are just as much as a Work out as BJJ and Just as fun as well. Also watching this Video along with some of Ernesto Hoost Highlights is Helping my Training out a lot!!! Thanks for this Awesome Video.

[@Mike198526sexy]

Psilord87 their is no such thing as Dutch style Muay Thai, it’s Dutch kickboxing or Muay Thai. They are 2 different styles, and are scored completely different in there respective sports. I’ve trained Muay Thai for years, and when I got into the Dutch kickboxing I completely separate the two. U have to so u can completely understand them both.

[@jakebasa1517]

I've been viewing this since it got released andI love how flawless both men's techniques are. Especially Stuart that low kick tho! Osu!

[@blaiseharris909]

Dude! Loving these combos! I have a big problem of just throwing one punch and need more work on throwing combos and mixing things up. Awesome stuff gents!

[@zyx7478]

These men are real talent

[@kyshgem]

im gonna take my time to learn this combo nice one

[@jamesdelheimer3373]

AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🙏🏼💙.

Nice to see you in action Stuart ! Very nice combos ! Show some more :)

[@giovannifernandez4377]

Awesome, that is great to hear!! You will have to let me know how you get on with your training!!

[@LifeWithBradleyCartoon]

Love it I subscribed oooeeeyyy! Thanks Stuart you guys are awesome.

[@dalroache]

Excellent thank you. Great stuff

[@jimbanzo]

i'm surprised u haven't made any tutorials sooner this is great stuff! will drill tomorrow

[@warriorcollective]

Ha ha, I never really wanted the channel to be focused on me so I figured that if I filmed myself people would just assume that was the case. The Warrior Collective is as the name suggests a bringing together of as much great martial arts knowledge from different people as possible. I have enjoyed filming the ones I have done though so will definitely do some more in the future, it is just cool to hear people think well of them!!

[@omarbudeiri4955]

Nice video again Stuart! By the way congrats on hitting 50K subscribers! I remember when it was only a few thousand.

Thanks Simon, I really appreciate that! Ha ha, you must have been subscribed to this channel for a while, seems like ages ago it was at that point! It is cool that you are still watching and enjoying the vids. You more than anyone can appreciate that it has been a long time coming me filming myself doing one then ;-)

[@f4ust85]

[@WaqyM]

Great Video! Good explanations and combos. Thank You. I just started watching your videos but hope to see some more aggressive fighting combos or defensive vids. I'm currently in Thailand and cardio is still an issue during sparring. Thanks again for sharing!

[@warriorcollective]

Well, if you are in Thailand, you are certainly going to be spoilt for choice for awesome places to train. Thanks, I am glad to hear you enjoyed this vid, make sure you check out some of the excellent ones on this channel when you get chance and let me know what you think!

[@WaqyM]

I've been watching more vids ( a lot) and some of my favorites include reaction work drills. I think one thing people have to be careful about Training out in Thailand is the whole focus on money. I've been at 2 different gyms for the past 2 months and I would say To really improve would involve private lessons. Just thought i'd share that fact. (makes your videos all the more useful, learn from them and practice at the gym)

Great video Dutch Kickboxing works good for MMA striking also

[@warriorcollective]

Awesome to hear you enjoyed it, thanks, I do think the Dutch style does translate quite well into MMA because of the aggressive movement and hand to kick/knee combination work!

I love the drill saith winters all the way from (Malawi Africa)

💣💪🏻👍🏻respect COACH 🤝🏻

[@timm285]

What I don’t like about the Dutch kickboxing I’ve seen from Duane Ludwig and Andy Seower(sp?) is the heavy emphasis on the leg kicks especially from Andy’s style. He always ends combinations with a leg kick but I never see any other kicks.

[@matcraigon]

hoooey!!!! :-) very nice

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

How about the Jab, Outside Calf Kick, Inside Leg (preferably to the calf), Right Cross, Left Hook, Push Kick?

is regular kickboxing the same as dutch style or does it depend

[@bougantouchesaid1370]

[@sasaobradovic4845]

[@mpaso111]

That was deep

[@warriorcollective]

Ha ha, was it, I had no idea I had depth ;-)

[@Kaasbaas045]

Very nice technique, although your lowkick looks kinda strange, its not that it looks wrong. Im a dutch kickboxer myself and the lowkicks we do in our gym look different. Ours are shorter and more explosive. Check out Robin van Roosmalens lowkicks. Thats the style we throw our lowkicks. But again, im not being negative just stating. Very nice tutorial!

[@sjcobra84]

This is great. I'm more of a guy who likes punches to be honest. However, the Dutch seem to have solved the problem for people who want the kick but have teething problems with it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

[@Dr-Grayson]

I was wondering why you choose to use the boxing gloves almost like pseudo focus mitts for the punches. I've been training a fair while and most of the time we practice our drills using the regular boxing defenses against punches with the strikes aimed at the head or body. I've seen this a few times and I've always been curious as to the purpose of it versus training the actually hand defense or head movement against punches. Big fan of the channel and love your guys videos. All the best.

[@warriorcollective]

For me, the main reasons for training using the gloves as opposed to the focus pads in this manner are that 2 fighters can train effectively together at the same time (as opposed to one training with a pad holder), you can mimic attacking and defence patterns slightly easier as you already have the kit on you fight with and you can get a group of mixed ability martial artists working together effectively as opposed to a few only training with the coaches/experienced pad men. The hitting the gloves instead of throwing shots at the person is essentially a way to create flow easier in order to drill a particular mechanic. There are drills in the Dutch system where you aim for your partner as opposed to the glove so it is just a case of different methods for different purposes. Glad you like the channel, a lot of work goes into it but I enjoy it and it is great to hear it is well thought of!!!

[@Dr-Grayson]

Interesting something that my school does is that when doing focus mitts drills we have the students feed each other pads. I know it's common in a lot of places for only the coaches to hold pads but for us we have the student learn to both ht and feed focus mitts. I'd seen this take before and appreciate the explanation always looking for new ideas and concepts to put into my training. You guys do great and I love the variety you guys show. My striking is Savate, Muay Thai, Filipino Boxing, and Jun Fan Gung Fu, so I haven't really experienced Dutch Kickboxing I'm happy to learn more, thank you.

[@k-g1007]

Ooeey that’s it

[@hso_ijaz8834]

[@davidalcala648]

i m an instructor, of krav maga, i was looking to increase my striking, and your videos are awsome, one question, i see both of you are pretty tall, i m small size, like saenchai style, this techniques will work as good on me as they work on you, because i find that your reach in arms and legs are huge advantage, do you recommend diffrent combos for somebody shorter like me ? thanks

[@__-to3hq]

Krav Maga instructor o.o fusing with Dutch Kickboxing :D

[@sidka84]

low kick in kickboxing?

[@Leadfoot_P71]

Awesome! One question though: What do you feel are the advantages of hitting the gloves like that, rather than actually going for the head and having the partner defend? Thank you.

[@warriorcollective]

Glad you enjoyed it. That is a good question. It is horses for courses to some extent, hitting the gloves as opposed to actually going for the head allows you to concentrate on mechanics and aggressive flow. Drills where you go for the head constantly tend to focus more on the defensive aspect as opposed to the attacking. There is not one better than the other (in Holland, there are drills for both), just a different aspect. Hope this helps

[@Leadfoot_P71]

Yup, got it. Thanks for explaining.

[@marsoc0326]

+Alphaone99 Sometimes they're different stages, for example: hitting the gloves like holding pads would be the first level allowing people to get used to thinking and coordination and seeing what certain strikes look like, second would be now blocking those as you would in a real fight as blocking is normally thought before parries or evasion because it simpler and easier for beginners to learn ,next level would be trying to parry or a combination of blocks, parries and evasions, and at last you might have a more free flowing drill where on your next turn you try to adjust your combination to the holes in his defense you saw on your last turn (being able to pick up on patterns and capitalize, basically just a step shy of sparring.)

[@Leadfoot_P71]

Mmm, I like that explanation, Thank you marsoc!

[@marsoc0326]

Alphaone99 Sorry for the late reply never got any notification was just rewatching some of these vids saw and read my comment was nodding my head in agreement with this guy then realized It was my comment lol then saw your reply.Its been awhile hope your training has been going well and maybe even started putting this stuff to good use and taking your skills to the next level.

[@BlockchainGenius]

In my Opinion a leg switch is telegraphing, if you do that you could also save your power because it will be blocked anyway. If you are fighting to impress the referee then keep doing it. Why not kick just with the right leg? Fake the right cross and land the right roundhouse to his head, this will fuck him up 10 times bigger.

After searching for dutch kickboxing in my state (us), I couldn't find any. So could start just showing us film of your classes as to get a feel for kickboxing vs thai boxing? Thanks.

[@warriorcollective]

A lot of gyms would not typically label their coaching as Dutch Kickboxing so I would not give up yet. There are certainly some good instructors in the US who instruct in this way. I am glad you enjoyed the video and I will make sure I put some more up going forward!! I will do one particularly covering the difference between kick and thai so keep your eyes out for that!

Duke Roufus is another great one.Extensive Muay Thai background his family is American kickboxing/martial arts and he spent time training in pro boxing and trained with legendary Dutch Kickboxing such as Ernesto Hoost and at some gyms like Vos Gym and Meijiro gym (these are like meccas of Dutch Kickboxing.) He has a channel on here with some little tips,tricks and insights he puts out for free.

[@jayceeinvincible]

Stuart how long have you been training bro? Your Dutch-Style Muay Thai looks sharp and refined. Like you could jump in the ring at any given time :) As always, awesome tutorial :)

[@warriorcollective]

I think you flatter me ha ha, I have been training most of my life. I am 37 now, first started when I was 7 or 8, only really started to take it seriously as a teenager at 14 years. Not stopped since. Enjoy all Martial Arts to be honest but striking in one shape or another is something I have done the most! Glad you liked it as always!

kick boxing combinations

[@warriorcollective]

Ok, combinations ;-) Sometimes I have to think of interesting titles that are different to all the others already on this channel. No easy thing I can tell you ha ha

[@dazzaskillz9278]

How would you deal with an aggressive fighter? What i meen is like the bell goes, and bam hes not interested in sizing me up he just starts unloading.. backs me in a corner and hes windmilling me haha.. i know it sounds daft but when someones just unloading relentless shots its hard to even think straight let alone think about how to get out of the situation, getting backed into a corner is such a crap situation to be in.. some people just say cover up and just let him tire himself out but the ref will probably give a standing count before than happens

[@mark1983peace]

Stick and move using good footwork and head movement. Use stop hits (interceptions with jabs/teeps). If his attack is too quick to avoid, try clinching to slow him down and pick your shots. DO NOT let him unload hoping he'll tire himself out, that's how to get KO'd. I've encountered every type of fighter in my 20+ years of training and teaching. These guys are hard to beat for most people, but the good news is that it only takes a few adjustments and you'll be at least holding your own.

[@thecheeze9001]

Dazza skillz a tutorial for that is actually already made. Search this channel

[@warriorcollective]

For sure, the one by Panicos Yusuf especially is a favourite of mine!!

[@warriorcollective]

Good advice ;-)

[@warriorcollective]

It seems like a really difficult area this, dealing with a very aggressive opponent and it often is. However, an aggressive fighter who is attacking in straight lines consistently with little thought of moving backwards, off angle or countering is often open to making a variety of mistakes which can be exploited. Firstly, dependent on the style or rule set being fought under, footwork has to be the first aspect mastered. They cannot hit if you maintain the distance between you effectively. This means being confident moving in and out, sidestepping and escaping off the centre line quickly. Next, you have to develop an understanding of straight line attacks that you can utilise as a counter as they commit to coming forward i.e. Muay Thai use the teep, Kickboxing use the side kick, TKD use the back kick, Boxing use the right straight etc. Next, look for common mistakes, are they planting their weight on their front foot all the time to come forward (open to sweeps or low kicks), are they dropping a hand as they swing shots at your head (open to counter boxing or kicks). A final point (although this is not finite, there are lots of coaching points to this kind of a mechanic) is to gauge their ability to sustain the attack, how fit are they (if they are not conditioned, the attacks will either not last long or will wane as the rounds progress)? I hope this helps!!

[@l4ur790]

Hello guys, can you please help me with this thing please, i'm a new guy in dutch kickboxing and i have a big query, So, i used to land the kicks like you do pretty much (with that rotating motion kinda) and my trainer corrected me and told me to throw them more like i want to chop someones leg, it has a straight motion kinda and there is no spinning but it seems strong, so can you tell me the difference between this two and if one is better than another one, maybe depending on the situation? I really want to clarify this, thanks for the drills btw.

[@warriorcollective]

Hey, glad you enjoyed the video and it is awesome to hear you are training!! As for the kicks, there are a few different variations on executing roundhouse kicks. Within Muay Thai for example they utilise a number of different angles to achieve different aims. What you mention is another way to hit the leg. Not pivoting has the advantage of being faster and harder to defend (as it is harder to see coming) but still being damaging. The downside to not pivoting is that it becomes harder to apply effectively in combinations (as it is the pivot that helps you flow into your boxing for example). There is not a right or a wrong. Try them both and see which you prefer. I hope this helps!

[@l4ur790]

Thanks a lot, you are the best.

[@thijst5571]

Hi Buddy, study this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYi7pJyvnLSYhtE

[@alfie9879]

In your opinion does Dutch style translate to mma better than Thai or does it just depend on the person

[@Mike198526sexy]

Alfie 987 depends on the person, I’m a Muay Thai based fighter and your takedown defense gotta be a1 to fully use your Muay Thai. And Dutch kickboxing is very good as well, because with the style being more boxing based. U can land powerful boxing shots, and have be more successful defending takedowns. But I’m a 6’5 heavyweight, the Muay Thai works best for me. Because most heavyweights just wanna strike, and won’t really go for takedowns unless there wrestlers.
