[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

Daamn, this so good! You always pull out some fundamental yet high-end tricks from all these guest experts you get to be in your videos. Great job man!

[@hard2hurt]

The trick to it is the fact that the best guys don't even realize that what they're sharing is gold... that's the stuff I try to find.

[@dominickl3887]

Man it’s crazy, I’ve known Kru Danny for at least 12 years now and it’s awesome seeing him on your platform. That and the knowledge he’s dropping is just great

[@TheElbowMerchant]

"He's humble, sweet, everything I'm not." Don't sell yourself short, Icy Mike. You're pretty humble, when it's appropriate. Sweet? Yeah, that's not your vibe. Regardless, there's some great tips in this video, and I'm looking forward to trying to implement some of the techniques into my next sparring session.

[@DesiRush1]

He's so sweet he has sugar in his beard.

[@lopa-u9f]

I was put off by Mike's personality at first but he's grown on me, I understand him a bit more I think/feel would like to have a real conversation with him, he's not dum like most people

[@gw1357]

@@lopa-u9f It seems to me that Mike has three voices. When you've watched a few videos, it becomes easy to tell them apart. One is his "Bill Burr of martial arts" comic voice -- caustic, cynical, slightly mean, but very insightful and funny. One is his real voice that's nicer and more friendly -- lots of nerdy references. The third is his instructor voice, which is very exacting, but also very patient and careful about conveying the ideas in accurate detail.

[@hard2hurt]

Fair

[@Deathbystrudel]

@@gw1357 I still think of that time he was roasting a dude and comparing him to Gambit.

[@BombtrackRebel]

Great to see Coach Danny on the channel. Known him for years and he’s done a ton to shape me as a martial artist, from technical improvement to being a better instructor

[@hard2hurt]

He seems to have that effect on people

[@darthsidious3429]

I am trying to find his cancel, can you link him pls?

[@BMO_Creative]

Danny is real good man! I've seen him fight years ago, and he has a ring awareness that is insane!

[@griffonu]

The details around 5:00 about how Danny throws that inside low kick are cool to notice. At 5:00 he kicks with his left hand down while at 5:16 he keeps it up since he's closer. I'm pretty sure this is done simply by feeling, by instinct, which shows how much XP he has. He was closer and more to the inside in the danger zone so his left arm simply stayed up by itself :)

[@shelbyyoungfitness2716]

Grrat stuff! I've been waiting to see what shenanigans you guys came up with after class. Danny is the man! And you are awesome as well, Mike. Hope to see more collabs from you two

[@CraftedCombatant]

Now do how to beat a muay thai fighter using kickboxing

[@ddwfw]

Stay at punching range and try to win with the hands without getting clinched, obviously you have to know the clinch to negate it though. Like a striker needs to do wrestling to prevent a wrestler from taking him down.

[@FinneousPJ1]

You don't

[@revenant2943]

Use pure boxing with tricky footwork. Throws them off.

[@CraftedCombatant]

@@revenant2943 yeah tbh footwork is really important

[@yamazaki997]

High guard , plenty of boxing . Heavy hands . Basically muay mat style from muay Thai. Ad a low kick or two . Block with shins . And you are good

[@gw1357]

If you're an interior fighter (Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Peek-a-boo boxers, etc.) learning how to "stalk" (pursue carefully and precisely while staying defensively responsible) an outside fighter is a critical skill. If you can't stalk effectively, then you won't be ready to pounce on an entry opportunity. But if you're a good stalker, you can appear faster than you are to more athletic outside fighters. Great conversation.

[@SapphireUnique]

ohh that little stutter with pulling the front foot back first is something i have never thought about. Really sets up the rear power kick.

[@bryanchrist8876]

Great Video Coach. Love the Tips and "Tricks". I've been Really working on my foot movement to set up my knees over these last two weeks. So this was nice to see!

[@tyleredwards9382]

Quote of the vid "it's not what you want, it's what's available" great vid. I compete in Muay Thai but have a more Dutch style. This is great stuff! I'm trying to get better with setting up my clinch game because I'm more comfortable in space.

[@HumanAki]

Holy shit, this was gold! Please do a Part Two discussing the Clinch and how to escape it to get back in your preferred range; IF being outside the Clinch is your thing! Amazing nuance here!

[@dragonfist25]

I never thought of intentionally stepping the lead leg back on purpose to set up my next attack. Great breakdown gentlemen!

[@jameslyday7411]

[@yordantodorov7105]

[@mikeythemutt8460]

I was told by my "high level Jiu-jitsu" friends that the easiest way to beat a McDojo art like Muay Thai is to lay on your back with your legs spread. Most of the time the Muay Thai "fighter" will walk away and you win by default.

[@okarowarrior]

"Let's call it a Muay TIE" (walks away)

[@CADClicker]

Calling Muay Thai a McDojo art is the craziest thing I've ever heard

[@mikeythemutt8460]

[@umgeburstet8161]

1:10 very true. all you do by inching towards someone looking to change angles is giving your opponent a shorter path to the angle.

[@eduardonescau1865]

I'm blue belt Kickboxer and during those years I've been training some Muay Thai along my team (we had split teams on my old group), by far, the most important thing to me on fight against an Muay Thai fighter is always respect they endurence. If you're landing a punch, make sure they will feel it, this is not just a point fight. Doesn't mean that you had to harm any spar mate, but being hit is "part of the game", and man.. They will hit you. Second and most important thing, DON'T TRY BE LIKE THEM. Play you own game, don't take unecessary damage just because *they* can absorb impact. Respect your opponent and yourself!

[@averagehuman9834]

Maybe I'm ignorant, but are there belts in kickboxing?

[@burt2800]

​@@averagehuman9834 Not typically but they sometimes do it. Particularly if the gym also offers Karate.

Please do a video about sweeps and controlling your opponent body like letting them heavy on the lead leg and then kicking it like Justin Gaethje ❤love your videos

[@devindodge8648]

That weight on the back leg with the front leg light is called cats' stance in Shao Lin. It's very nice for lead leg kicks. Great video. I really enjoy your content, Mister Uncle Mike sensei sir. The Muay Thai is something I'm really inspired to learn for combat applications. Is there any chance of doing more content on knife disarms? It's unlikely to work every time, but it feels applicable. Any time I imagine myself in a fight, I want to be training with my partner or armed to the teeth. Any thoughts? I always appreciate your perspective. ✌️

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

That long back step is un karate/taekwando and capoeira. i haven't seen kickboxers or boxers use it unless they were trying to regain balance from a hit.

[@JohnLocke1776]

"muay thai" is such a vague term. There's various styles within Muay thai. Some of the best thai fighters had boxing backgrounds and know how to move while checking kicks. Other guys outside of Bangkoks stadium scene are more mobile but changed their styles before competing on the main stadium circuts

[@junichiroyamashita]

My goal is beating Muay Thai as NOT a kickboxer, without kicks. But boxing only doesn't work, and outside legs,we don't have any other striking surfaces..

[@jamescollins9811]

It’s funny how diametrically opposed traditional Okinawa karate “conservation of energy” is to mainland sport karate. What you demonstrated here is probably why Motobu beat the hell out of Funakoshi.

[@aether3456]

Funakoshi wasn't a sport karateka, he probably never threw a round kick in his life.

[@jamescollins9811]

@@aether3456 sports karate came out of Shotokan and the mainland styles

[@aether3456]

​@@jamescollins9811 It did but Funakoshi never competed in any sport karate competition. He was into his 50s by the time sports karate was becoming a thing in Japan. It has nothing to do with why Motobu threw Funakoshi around a couple of times (which is all that really happened between them).
