Each week i will be releasing a video which is part of the online Bazooka Kickboxing Academy. It will start with a beginner level and eventually work towards a professional level fighter!
I am excited to share my knowledge which has made me a successful champion all through my amateur days to my professional career with Glory!
Looking forward to hearing from you and how your training is progressing!

not a lot of legit mma or kickboxing gyms in Lebanon ( the country ) so being able to get the basics from a champ like you is just amazing, keep it up and many thanks.

[@HenzEmpire]

[@antonpersssoen]

Had my first kickboxing-workout yesterday. These help so much. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@MrBigshot615]

[@Zooloo007]

love these videos! thx

[@lachlan22]

I love your videos keep it up. Such a good resource.

[@gargiris74]

Loving all these videos. Great work :)

[@wccrispy]

Hey Joe, does anyone use the low kick to transition to southpaw to throw a straight left down the middle instead of returning to the initial stance? It seems like some really interesting combos could come of this.

[@eprenzlin5132]

Is it the same for MMA as well?

[@wtfmanshoot]

Keep them coming ! Love it JOE

[@closedmt]

Video material itself is great, but examples (guys behind and drilling) are very mediocre: minimal hip usage, not enough sholder rotation on punches, do no hide chin behind the shoulder while punching, dropping hands when trowing punches. Of course those are details that are not specific to this part of tutorial, but their fundamentals are off and it might mislead beginners.

[@aryanazaankhan]

If Valtellini replies I would give 250 push ups.

[@aryanazaankhan]

Oh! My! God! You replied! Damn! I will do it and post the link here.I promise.

[@copa593]

we are still waiting bro!

[@montvna]

not a man of his words

[@TheSonerBoy]

Still waiting

[@mahyjansen8349]

Wheres the link?

[@Qwoptheplop]

The back foot pushing really helped me with the mind muscle connection. Great video again!

[@matthewsinger4902]

Too many people think that they need to hit hard or be super fast to be successful as a fighter. Joe won the Glory title with 14 total fights (amateur and professional combined) using very fundamental, basic techniques on top of being a savage. You can train your ass off and have power for days, but if you are off balance, that power will never transfer to your attacks. If you can't control distance, you will jam your strikes or be susceptible to counter shots. Awesome series from a world class fight...

[@smokeclouds8]

aye man, very informative

[@smokeclouds8]

too bad I can't like it twice

[@fakirhamza4215]

thanks champ for this great tutorial

[@JasonChinAFat]

great video

[@joestripling4483]

why does only your one foot move? i know u are pushing off the back but why not slide the back foot with the cross? also when i turned pro in 2007 i was nicknamed bazooka joe by my teammates .. i should pro change it now .. haha

[@harisuno3295]

Consigli che tutti gli insegnanti dovrebbero trasmettere prima di proporre cose complicate e difficili da eseguire a livello pratico.

[@karlko2324]

great point about not stepping forward, but actually pushing off the back foot. when i throw 1 2 i feel like i step forward. will definately be more mindful of this. thanks.

[@khabibthebear-whisperer4740]

As far as footwork goes, are we ALWAYS pushing off of the rear foot when stepping forward? Or simply just stepping forward with the leading foot and letting the rear foot follow? Been wondering this for a while now

[@gamebred8513]

another great vid, can't wait for the next one 👊

[@greengreensio]

Wow thank alot for the video. My defence is shit. Now i know why. Thank again

[@adamflores5851]

Found out about you from rogan’s podcast. Watched one video now I am hooked! Thank you for the technical information. You break everything down in understandable, practical steps.

[@TempusPerformance]

Sick

[@joshjenne8355]

MOAR

[@gilbertoacosta6697]

great video again

[@Thapawky]

Great videos Joseph! Very clear and easy to follow. Can't wait for the more intermediate/advanced tutorials (still like the first 2 episodes. Always good to repeat basics. You never know, maybe I've missed some tips or tricks) I'd love an episode covering all the different leg kick angles and techniques (heard you mention it on Joe Rogan podcast)

[@indigoflow19O]

In this video the way you explained stepping over the line for some reason made me realize something little I had been doing subconsciously for over 15 years...now that I am aware of it my balance, footwork and counter attacks while moving backwards feel much more fluid and natural. Much appreciated, thanks for the videos!

[@BlazeGrE3nz]

Great work making those videos Joe, you are probably the first and only with tutorials about this and i seriously need lessons in footwork because i am kinda small and it's pretty hard for me to reach my opponent/ sparringpartner. thnkz champ

[@dylang2504]

Just outside the Toronto area would love to come by one day. Great high quality content, Keep the videos coming!

[@chucknorris202]

Just wanted to say, you have one of the best muay thai/kickboxing channels out there. I have been training mauy thai 1 year and 6 months so far. I have class tomorrow actually. Your videos are helping me a bunch with the fundamentals.

[@generalwoofles6240]

Great stuff! Keep it up!

[@joelmartinez2896]

Love the videos! HUGE fan! I've learned so much from watching your fights, I can only imagine what I can learn from your videos!! One day I hope to train in the Bazooka gym!!

[@julianpage9629]

Thank you so much for this, there's no credible guys doing anything like this, for people who don't have any gyms around these videos are invaluable. keep it up!

[@devanreed6005]

beautiful work Joe. I love what your doing! This series is going to really help me evolve my game and teaching. Thank you so much, If Martial arts does prove to be for me, your one of the first guys I'm coming to see. Keep up the good work - AllAround Movement

I find your fight instruction quality, one of the best on KZbin. Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@Tousanx]

thanks Joe. very rarely has my coach talked about distance control and defensive stance vs offensive. thanks for the information.

[@Gordito2Galan]

When your stepping in is the one punch simultaneous with the step or step then punch lands. Thanks for the vids bazooka joe

[@mtzgbl]

Excellent video Joe. Please make more instructional videos!

[@margaridapatrao8]
