Hit Without Getting Hit! How to Use Footwork to Attack - Diamond Step

In this video I'm going to show you some footwork you can use to hit your opponent without getting hit back. This is a bit more advanced footwork for attacking, but it will get you on a nice angle where you can attack and land strikes without getting hit back. At least not as easily as if you're standing in front of your opponent !
This is often referred to as the Diamond step, Checkmark step or Switch step.
You can also use this footwork to evade and create space before attacking as well.

Your videos are succinct and informative. As a beginner in kickboxing, I really like your videos. Thanks.

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

+Nathan Woodburn thank you! It’s can bit tough when you’re a beginner so if you ever have any questions please let me know. I’ll do my best to get back to ya with text or a video (if I can).

[@driver3899]

So much quality info in your videos, pro tips like having a frame up to stop spinning attacks are appreciated I can see this channyal getting huge!

[@yongjiean9980]

Similar to Kyokushin footwork moving to the side and attacking from angle

[@zaytay9744]

Can you do a video on other foot work sequences like this one? This check mark step is going to help tremendously with my angles. I'm hungry for more footwork techniques. Please one hundred times please. 🙏 Great video. Thank you

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

Absolutely! I actually made two follow up videos for this one (they will all sync up) but I made a mistake in one that I need to fix, so I need to re-shoot, or add a piece into it. Either way it will be out in the next week or so. I also have a few more planned after that for the new year ,as well. All together I'd like to have 10 in-depth footwork videos shot by March.

[@zaytay9744]

@@FirstStrikeAthletics Awesome. Thank you so much. So I actually tried this check mark step in my sparring about an hour ago. I'm going to keep drilling it until it sinks in cause I found myself reaching too much on the two. The point is, I appreciate your videos and teaching and rest easy knowing there's someone out there putting it into practice.

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

Hey Zay, I just put a new one up the other day. Next week I’ll have a video that’s shows how you can combine them in a drill.

[@jessegriffin4939]

Good stuff. Reminds me of some bang muay thai

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

Jesse Griffin haha thank you! I’ve had a few problem mention that. I’ll think it’s partly because I talk so fast! 💨

[@562pistol]

Love ty appreciate the knowledge

[@DedicatedSpartan]

Thank you

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

What do YOU call this footwork?

[@christiantena4217]

First Strike Athletics the “channeal” haha

[@mikeb6703]

Thanks

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

M. Bee you’re very welcome!

[@TheQuarterbackX]

My teacher keeps saying in my head, over and over, too many moves. Thinking why not just do a forward angle step. Arm out ready to block, sweep area clear, and while the hand is out and clear the way (without cocking back any) punch.

[@Lknockknock]

Amazing content! Do u have any social media I can follow coach

[@DubiousDubs]

Damn, that voice tho

[@Damian-666]

💪👊👍!!!

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

Damian 666 ya like this one, eh?

[@finnthecake8859]

I would suggest not puting your foot against your other foot, its a bad position to be in. Just slide it back a few inches.

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

Agreed - I tend to over-emphasize certain movements when I'm teaching them. When I do it in sparring I do so more in line with your suggestion. Good eye and good feedback, thanks!

[@lilahbility]

This was a good review for me. Also, big fan of the outtake! 😁

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

I have just started doing this on my own 😆.. few months ago didn teven know it was a thing.. thank you for amazing brake down, of the diamond. I knew about the V step tho.

[@JuleZz__z]

[@FirstStrikeAthletics]

Lance Storm you’re very welcome, enjoy!
