Realistic Head Movement in MMA and Kickboxing 1. Pivot your feet whenever you slip jabs and crosses. Left foot pivots for jab, and right foot pivots for cross. 2. Leaning back for a brief moment can help stay away from jabs and crosses. 3. Bobbing (lowering your level) 4. Practice pivoting both feet back and forth to improve slipping 5. Roll underneath the punch left to right 6. When slipping in Kickboxing and MMA, keep your hands up when lowering your level and throw combinations right after slipping 7. All of these can be done on the heavy bag as well.

[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

When I was starting early on I thought I needed to move my head always appropriately and always in response to the right attack from my sparring partners. Lots of calls from my coach to move my head when I wasn’t, because I was waiting for the right attack, and then I wasn’t responding fast enough when it came. Once I started to simply move my head even when opponents weren’t throwing the right shots, the head movement immediately started working, and I began making them miss by accident. I was probably using it too much, but this was also the first step to building the right habits under pressure to actually make head movement work for me because while simply moving my head in sparring and making people miss by accident I would get the feel for what I needed to be doing by accident as well. From there I have slowly made my head movement more purposeful. Just my experience, but when you mention at the end that you should not only use head movement, the opposite may temporarily be a good strategy for others to get a feel for proper head movement. Spam it like you’re mashing a head movement button in a fighting game early on, and make it more purposeful as you go, so that when you get better you can make it work and have the movements down. Would be curious what you think about this idea for total beginners if you read this. Seems to have helped me at the least.

[@BeyondPrideMF]

Great idea.

[@redsnflr]

It's like Newton on motion: "an object in motion will stay in motion" with the obverse "an object at rest will stay at rest (unless acted upon by an external force)", i.e. using inertia(objects natural tendency to stay motionless or in motion) in your favour rather than against you.

[@JediKnight1007]

To echo what Mr. Adrian said this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing. I have had similar experiences.

[@JediKnight1007]

@@redsnflr Brilliant! And we certainly don't want the external force that moves us to be an attack from our opponent. Hopefully by creating the motion ourselves we can have more positive control.

2 years later this comment helped me so much, legend

[@BrentCox2B]

Man it was pretty crazy how in Yair vs Holloway, Yair Rodriguez was rolling super low a lot while looking for setups for the up elbow and overhead back elbow but he never ate any huge shots to the head while he was rolling like that. I guarantee I would get knocked the hell out if I tried that in sparring haha. Maybe he just has really good timing and awareness

[@Lorendrawn]

El Pantera's defense enabled him to not end up like Kattar who was stationary and shelled up. By being mobile and slick Max couldn't track him with punches as effectively. Max usually likes the spinning kick against an opponent who angles out, but maybe since Rodriguez is good with kicks and can counter a weaker kicker Max thought better of it. It wasn't without drawbacks though, Max found the solution to a crouching opponent similar to how Sandhagen and Aljo won rounds against Petr Yan: tag him with a knee or uppercut when he dips or just grab the neck and go for a sub or the clinch. That said, No Mercy still blenderized both his opponents so your game needs a couple more layers than just that to beat him. tl;dr: knee, uppercut, or clinch up with a guy who dips his head real low.

[@lavabender_taku]

@@Lorendrawn i definitely go with the knee and/or uppercut myself when the opponent likes to dip low. the reflex ball helps tremendously with getting down the timing of those who like to dip and roll at all kinds of angles.

[@schibleh531]

My guess is it's because he didn't do it all the time. It came out of nowhere, so Max couldn't predict it, or time it. This is why it is important to have layers in your defense rather than depending on a single method.

[@bcjaliu]

As a beginner this was absolute gold. Subscribed.

[@canadianbreeze8733]

If you slip and parry you can also come over the top with the other hand. I always liked doing that too. Or after the slip I liked switching the stance fast to throw a power shot from the unorthodox side.

[@JediKnight1007]

I loved the comparison of Canelo Alvarez type of head movement and its applications towards kickboxing. I've thought the same thing when watching Vasily Lomanchenko as well. I think a lot of people are discouraged from head movement in kickboxing because they associate head movement with something like Pernell Whitaker who was an amazingly skilled defensive fighter (one of if not the best) but whose head movement and really low positions are not the most conducive for kickboxing.

[@marcusroute935]

How do you avoid slipping into a head kick.

[@Eldon_Dice]

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. I'm that person at 7:24 and never knew. I never generated enough power when I slip and counter -- end up mainly slipping and jabbing away to make distance.

[@mcermeno99]

Terrific video. Instruction was greatly presented in a clear manner and with charisma and style. Well done. Thank you!

[@MegaFaffy]

Thank you so much for sharing this perfect explained informations. It really helps everywhere to get the next steps, punching, movement, training. Thank you coach 🙏

[@Pwasercan]

awesome video!! nice that you show how to include feed movement with head movement, most coaches leave their feet glued to the floor! And good point on mentioning to not look to the floor when bobbing. Updated and realistic techniques for modern fighting! 🧠

[@doxdos4424]

Excellent breakdown

[@adelsolomartial]

Great skills for defence thanks u champ

[@happyg5647]

This dudes smart, great video man! Learned a few things.

[@andrewhancock2451]

This is an *awesome* tutorial on the finer points of slipping, rolling, etc., as well as strategizing when to use it in KB! I get that rolling puts you at risk of knees and kicks, which you try to mitigate by keeping your head up. I should point out (probably what most already know), even in boxing, you technically keep your head up. But the high performers and inexperienced boxers look down -- for different reasons, of course!

[@carwheredaymore846]

always the best from Master Joe

[@88Lookatme]

So good Information and u break it down so nice !!

[@pedicalc7]

Good stuff brotha🥊

[@richardbarton6146]

excellent teacher... I wish I could come train with you for 3 months. I am in America and I can sray for 90 days I believe. But where is a cheap place to stay? close to school.

[@PietchTheory]

Great video thanks fellas!

[@canadianbreeze8733]

I enjoyed watching you in Glory. My background is boxing and BJJ. I prefer elbows and knees with boxing though lol. In full contact I’d be checking kicks too with the odd teep kick. Kicking uses to much energy in my opinion and also opens up takedowns.

[@ives3572]

Really interesting points that you're talking about here, very useful/helpful for everyone into the game, I love this channel!👊👊👊👊👊

[@mikejames7253]

Man I’m a big fan, you seem like an excellent instructor. Obviously your career and titles speak for themselves a world elite! Have been a bit hesitant to join your gym as I’m new and have no experience also in my thirties so definitely getting involved very late. But I feel like your gym could help me gain a lot of skills and knowledge. I look forward to becoming a member very soon. Building up the courage lol Great videos they are much appreciated 👍

[@BeyuTom]

[@lukeseewhy]

Really insightful thank you Joe 😊 🙏

[@LevarWilliams-xg4uh]

Do you slip different in MMAthan boxing I know they're different sports but slipping should be the same

[@ajastar285]

Good breakdown. However, boxers are not looking at the ground when they roll under a punch. They will roll under a punch super low at times. So I get the point being made.

[@dharamjitbiswal3415]

i cant believe that this info is freeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

[@ben3249-x4n]

Yo I was just told that my dad coached you in football at uoft (Ryan Koolen)

[@AriusDragon]

LMAO nice video title

[@mauriciosalgadogonzalez2305]

Tito Ortiz should watch your channel

[@regimentsystem3306]

you're reaching for those grapes, trying to make your wine, and your wine is already sounding like a violin, with that cheese and wine.

[@thomas3carey50]

Actually brother when you are slipping or bobbing and weaving for M MA Just as long as you stay more upright when you are slipping and bobbing and waving instead of leaning over you should be fine And not get caught with too many kicks or knees

[@thomas3carey50]

I meant weaving not waving lol

[@thomas3carey50]

Actually I'm sorry bro I just watched the whole video which I did not do before and you basically said the same thing keep your head more upright when you are bobbing and weaving for MMA so my bad

[@zenitsuagatsumagodofthunde8831]

[@kudyurosales4086]

From Qatar, love ur vidoes . Clear, Simple. Big help for us new idoing muay thai and boxing. More power and thank you so much💪💪more power

[@1987Powers]

Why does Joe always wear shoes in his videos?

[@nvanguy6868]

Ive always been a great kicker and id love nothing more than for a fighter to roll punches low like that , i would time it and literally decapitate them with a power kick

[@sendlocation8476]

Bazooka does the front foot need to pivot? Or it doesn’t have to? Cause it might get kicked?

[@gyujiko]

I dont see kickboxers while sliping or perry. Maybe it is danger of getting kicked.

[@JohnSmith-ei6sc]

I’m not gonna listen to a guy with CTE about headmovement and not using it/only using it as a last option lmao
