I remember Anderson Silva also has a very good move when he's backing out. He basically lean back, step his right leg back into Othordox stance and fire the right hand at the same time, it looks like a right jab but it's a right cross.

[@swampgoat6343]

[@TheElphick9]

It's crazy that wonderboy just breaks down his own techniques for his opponents right here on YT because he has 0 threat of anyone actually wanting to engage in a striking battle with him

[@nr1NPC]

LOL, I just sent this comment "Is it really wise to teach everything out so publicly? I dont want anyone to use your techniques on you 😂😂😂"

[@luisdawnfinder3188]

He's not doing anything complex that other strikers don't know how to do, it's more in the quality of the execution

[@TheElphick9]

@@luisdawnfinder3188 Yes but he's giving insight on his tendencies and mindset during the fight because he has no fear of someone capitalizing on them

[@ddubs0606]

@@TheElphick9 Speaking of tendencies, he switched to right leg forward after a cut in the video for the round kick. Strong leg maybe? Opponents capitalize!!

[@OpnDoarPlcy]

I have been waiting for this one a long while. EVERY UFC fighter knows how to fight while backing up. That was the entire problem first gen UFC fighters had; they constantly charged directly forward crashing into one another.

[@Gh0st_0723]

"As a testament to that, those muscles are weak" bruh sweet T is a straight Savage. Great topic, guys.

[@mikeb7572]

Hyper aggressive fighters are extremely hard to beat I’ll be trying these in class

[@musclecarfanatic2404]

WB is So deserving and easily has the ability and skills to obtain and retain that title for a long time! Awesome channel. Keep up the amazing work!

[@KungFool]

His stand-up skills certainly, but his takedown defense, while good, isn't enough with the top grapplers in the division, sadly. Would still love to see him vs Usman

[@musclecarfanatic2404]

@@KungFool I couldnt agree more. In a strict standup WB. But yes these top guys are take down experts from any angle and position. Well said. I very much agree with that statement!

[@TristanBehrens]

@@KungFool I actually could see it benefitting him to move up or down, the grapplers aren't as numerous, nor as effective in MW or LW. Brunson could be an issue at MW but I think that's probably it, and at lightweight, as the bigger man, I think wonderboy takes it (that would probably be a grueling cut, though).

[@danyalkhandakar6564]

@@TristanBehrens there’s no way he makes lightweight, he’s said he walks around at 195-200 tops whilst already being leaned out. If he could put on 10 lbs or a bit under that tho it’d be real cool to see him at middleweight

[@TristanBehrens]

@@danyalkhandakar6564 Fair enough, I didn't know he cut as much as that, although I did think LW would be a stretch.

fantastic video, as a karate fighter in MMA i use these techniques all the time and they are very useful and underrated.

[@OslanActionFilms]

I like using the defensive side kick while backing up

[@johnkreese4706]

One of my favorite fighters in the ufc up there with Dustin poirier, Valentina, and thug rose…..ufc has so much talent

[@clydebarrow2555]

[@stephanwatson7902]

In the Tao of jkd Lee talks about either stepping back and planting to throw a strike OR if you're able to shift your weight forward while moving back, then strike while moving; Silva did that to Forrest

[@Jax_904]

Great vid. I hope I never have to use this but great to see it taught.

[@luciofranciscodigiacinti3664]

Love you WB! I hope we all get to see you get that belt champ! :)

[@benjaminrichard7741]

Love the moves - thank you!

[@jimdgrousedogs]

Great video. We use the term critical distance line (CDL) when talking about distance measurement. I really like how even moving back you are still using your hip in the punch. We do a drill to measure CDL where a partner walks toward the student with a big pad and the student will kick or punch the bag and the immediately call out early, late, or on time as far as whether he or she got full power in the attack. We then step it up with the partner moving in at different speeds to help with the timing as well as the distance.

[@karthiksubramanian2279]

I am learning kick boxing and I always loved to do one thing with the kicks, neutralizing the round house kick(kick your opponent's shin in the side during swing) and connect it with a side kick to face...I have power, but lacking little speed. If I can improve the speed, I feel it could be a deadly counter and surprise attack. But that's just me

[@luka-gd6pg]

Thank you that's was really useful

[@RamboRichardson]

This is the video I always wanted to make, thank you for actually doing it...and with actual influence 😂🙏✌

[@mr.e8226]

in basketball they talk about a 'negative step' (taking a small quick step in the opposite direction you want to move in) to be able to efficiently change direction. I wonder if that same terminology would work when it comes to planting on the reverse shuffle and collecting energy and using it to fire off

[@chefxhyrule242]

Connor vs also was a great example of how to fight moving backwards

That's what I suggested!! 😊

[@HalfSight88]

Cant wait to see your next fight

[@phillskinner8671]

Love it! If I might make a suggestion for the person in Sweet T's position, or pad holder. Instead of bringing up the pad before you move forward, keep it up, and then suddenly move forward. Pull it up lets your puncher know your planning on coming forward and prepare. Where as I think if you leave it up before hand, it would be more representative of someone moving forward. Love you guys, watch all the time! Keep it up!

[@Docinaplane]

I'm not disagreeing with you. I step back moving the front leg first, everything else is the same. Maybe it lets me get the front leg away from a leg kick. Maybe it allows me to step off angle quicker. I don't know. That's what I do. I've never been one to back up much. I think it's because I'm almost always the shorter fighter, and that lets them close the distance for me into my counter strikes. When I do come forward, I remind myself to account for their front hand because of people like you lol

Bro you are not getting paid enough for the quality of information/content you are providing

[@joeblow9891]

Why no mae geri ? It's very legitimate backing up defense IMO. It's quick, sneaky and more powerful if it lands under the chin while the opponent is going forward, he's going down ! I wonder why we don't see that often into MMA(I mean the technique). I would love to practice this with such an OG as you WB

You want the record to show you were backing up during the fight. If you hurt someone while backing up, it's straightforward self-defense (presumably).
