The shots after the level change to knee tap 👌

6:54 this is an example of what would *typically* be a risky strike. A lot of people are saying that. Here is how the risk is reduced. Punch is set up by drawing attention up, using the 1-2 to the face. A lot of people will assume that level changing will mean a strike to the body and will defend accordingly. Level change feints have been established prior and either doesn’t react or moves down with the level change. All these factors make it so that this strike will catch the opponent off guard and the risk is reduced. All techniques are useful. It’s just a matter of when and how TLDR: Punch was set up well with other movements and is unexpected

I like first part of video , nice way to creat correct reactions , level changes etc . But this body shot is very risky if you late you will be counter badly . Any way nice and helping video. Thanks

This video is fucking awesome!

[@ronaldson57]

Can you post a new video on unorthodox muay thai and boxing techniques such as double right hand and shifting while punching

[@maxkashket9908]

Great stuff

[@tanarua7895]

Good Job

Wide open when throwing the body shot, why expose yourself to land a body shot to receive a left or right hook, overhand to the chin??

[@hirotakeda4939]

It's not really there to do damage. You use it to set up other strikes or as a feint.

[@StoutProper]

@@hirotakeda4939 still wide open abs if you're not doing damage could be worse

[@bojnicko]

You definitely don’t fight MMA it seems like you’re a striker. Have you ever tried throwing a knee to a wrestler. FREE TAKEDOWNS

Is this in wigan

[@TauntonPrideFC]

Throwing a cross to the body without any kind of level change doesn't sit well with me at all for so many reasons. All that risk you're taking completely exposing yourself to a counter just so you can do much less damage, it makes no sense to me.

[@hirotakeda4939]

You can use it as a feint or to set up other strikes. And you're also less vulnerable.

[@TauntonPrideFC]

@@hirotakeda4939 less vulnerable with my hand by my opponents waist? As a feint? If you're going to feint you want to sell your feint to cause a reaction, which means the more body movement involved the better. This type of drill if used too much will get people using dumb techniques in the ring or cage and getting mauled. It's not an insult to any person, but this technique needs to go in the trash. High risk - low reward = garbage

[@hirotakeda4939]

@@TauntonPrideFC It's less telegraphed than a normal body punch, so you can definitely use it to set things up. All techniques have their place, if they're used at the right times.

[@evilextinction7]

[@ghostofnedkelly7371]
