How to Slip & Counter Punches - 10 Head Movements & Counters + Free Sparring Applicaion | EMA

Slipping and countering punches is a very advantageous stand-up striking strategy, because you are applying simultaneous defense and offense, and you don't have to deal with the impact of your opponent's strikes as you do when you block. It is a bit more risky, and does require more practice, skill and timing to apply correctly. So you do need to be able to block and counter punches both at long range and short range, which we already covered in detail in our beginner-level videos.

[@markant9534]

+Effective Martial Arts Hi, I watched Tyson v Ruddock and he was waiting for Ruddock to throw his hook/uppercut and then dodging and was caught a number of times whereas when he was trained by Rooney his head moved constantly and he countered like how you stated here, great stuff.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks, Mark Ant! That's what we do, watch and learn from the greatest in each martial art and integrate the techniques, principles and lessons into a comprehensive system. Glad you liked it and Happy Holidays :) - Patrick

[@markant9534]

[@oyekskyvid1801]

Its good...

[@udaygurav6113]

Sir please make more video thanks sir👍💐

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks for the suggestion, working on it!

[@AmitKumar-uc8bz]

Good

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks!

[@mahmoudgadou]

I suggest to make short videos ,Rather than long ones , to follow your instructions perfectly, because your videos are full of steps and need time to follow and practice.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks for the suggestion, Moawia. Will take this into consideration for future videos. - Patrick

[@hiteshdas1008]

Love u

[@ReddKumaJaxon]

👍👍👍👍

[@shinwook5145]

I prefer to bend the waist less on the slipping, and turning my hips a bit more (so, on the end, the head moves the same) My personal preference : )

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Indeed, Shinwoo K, it is good to develop your own personal style, and there are many possible variants for each technique. The important thing is that you understand the basic principles of effectiveness, and that you are able to apply the technique successfully against a resisting partner. Keep up the good work! - Patrick

[@markant9534]

This what AJ should of done v Parker, you should train him!

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Lol... they both did use these techniques and strategies, but at the highest level, speed, skill and endurance are big factors. Thanks for your comment! - Patrick

[@markant9534]

Thanks.

[@squifflessquaffles6339]

Hammer fist and forearm strikes next please. ΟωΟ

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks for the suggestion, Naori, duly noted :)

[@garethdavidjones1652]

I believe these tactics would be very effective fighting a grizzly bear.

[@themibileservice7708]

I like you petrick

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks, I like you too!

[@jamesferguson7706]

Everything was helpful but as you said proper technique you lock your elbow while demonstrating

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks for the feedback, james. Indeed, it is good to extend one's arm for maximum reach, but we want to avoid hyper-extension of the elbow joint to prevent injury. - Patrick

[@cyberpilot6512]

these only work if you have SPEEEEED - which means practising until you start dreaming about counters in your sleep.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

So true, Awakened Sleeper. We recommend going slow to start, to really understand the movement, then progressively faster, and in more realistic application training.

[@sanekabc]

This is all taught in boxing, minus, the kicks and take downs. Too bad they didn't teach any of this in karate. I'm a black belt and never learned any of this in my karate class.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Indeed, Testa, martial arts styles evolved to favor certain techniques and ranges, our goal with EMA is simply to combine what works into one structured curriculum. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Patrick
