That first sweep works well but you don't need a big fancy set up. Throw a hard right hand and step into as it lands and then lower that right now down across his body and u just flex your hip upward while pushing down.

[@crazymike1706]

Matt Trepanier I said the same thing. Throwing a wide hook while your opponent is shelled up and upright is suicidal.

[@ardaonen260]

Why is it suicidal?

[@matttrepanier4692]

@@ardaonen260 if I were to do it vs someone the same stance u can drag your foot as you punch to position yourself, John Wayne Parr once told me punching someone can be your defense 😂use the strike to gain your ground and position but to each there own. I feel if u dance too much infront of someone they are just going to hit u

[@Bubble23428]

@@matttrepanier4692 yeah it‘s now one of my favorite throws/sweeps when I tried it on my sparring partner 2 days ago when me and my partner spar

[@stephensalikin8028]

awesome sweeps I'm going to try to practice these during sparring

[@Mountain_Storm]

Yeah me too but dont make them too agressive

[@my2009Babies1]

I love giving the sweeps, thank you for the tutorial!

[@taddymason971]

Super cool, thanks for going into the weight dropping part too

[@XXX-ju1ev]

beautiful that very good for mma as well.

[@paul1mdrn]

Great stuff, Thanks for posting!

[@warriorcollective]

You are welcome, this is a great video from Jack, I am stoked to hear you liked it!

[@domdompomodoro6621]

Good stuff.

[@TobbeArnesson]

In the first example the attacker is very open for an uppercut, especially if he's gonna do that move three times in a row (perhaps due to demonstrating). Mind your guard! Will have to try these moves! Thanks!

[@secretsoftheages6136]

thanks mate, going to use a few of these when I'm sparring next

[@adrianadrian3837]

Is pulling leg legal?

[@NotN8]

At 2:38 would have substantially more leverage reaching higher w/ the right arm, sweeping across opponent's shoulder diagonally upward. Surprised no one mentioned that. I once took out a guy w/ ease like that who was messing w/ me & he thought I was a force to reckon with but really I'm not that strong its leverage

[@andreagrazianodibenedetto1464]

Nice tip, thanks!

[@fernandodavila5064]

Where did you get those nice shorts?

[@user-rd4kf8mu5v]

are all of them legal?

[@leeplatts4944]

What shin guards are they?

[@branni6538]

The best sweeps are the side step lift and sweep from the clinch or from the the neck clinch. Too many of the others inc these lead to bad positions for chokes or inferior positions for ground grappling. If your balance is even slightly out you won't make it or will get supplexed. Yes these sweeps work but are inferior to others.

[@bobbybrown9570]

First big right hook? Bicep block....

[@mannysingh6618]

Are some of the clinches gonna work on the street? Surely the opponent will be trying to punch the clicher or push the clincher?

[@DARKOvibrations]

They are more designed to work in a ring, but absolutely on the street if the opportunity came they can be used, not all fighters on the street will throw puches, a good number also go for the grab, especially the heavier boys!

[@Munir4U]

clinch is good and useful the guys punches arent gonna do much damage if your super close to him just be absolutely sure he doesnt have a sharp weapon because if he does and you go in for the clinch your just doing his work for him.

[@Tennmannen]

As a grappler I wouldn't recommend using these techniques in MMA or a streetfight unless you're an accomplished wrestler/jiu jitsu practitioner. Securing the double unders against a more skilled wrestler will be very difficult and with the first sweep you give the rear naked choke for free. Great for Thai boxing though

[@Munir4U]

David Evans Use this in MMA agaisnt a skilled wrestler or jiu-jitsu practitionar?, that would be insane i agree completly. But a street fight? it could work well. My reasoning being if your a martial artists chances are you are not going to go around looking for a fight but if some low life comes looking for one chances are they are not going to be an accomplished martial artist. So a clinch and sweep could neutralise him without having to give him brain damage, provided he does not have a weapon, but it could also prove fatal for him/her if you drop him on concrete. With that being said the most effective martial art for self defense in a real world situation is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You can protect yourself effectively and not hurt the person so much that you have to handle a lawsuit or possibly a manslaughter charge.

[@hugothabodictus4984]

people punch and push in muay thai fights as well. If it works against seasoned fighters in muay thai, I think it's safe to say it will work against most opponents on the street.

[@theatlantean39]

That is one thick accent

[@VestigialHead]

Strange that Muay Thai calls these takedowns sweeps? I did not see any sweeping actions at all. Trips and takedowns yes but sweeps - No. A sweep is using a leg kick that goes through the opponents leg and sweeps him off his feet.

[@johnward654]

VestigialHead ok

[@herrbesofski2075]

First throw down is dangerous cause the knee from oppenent

[@bobnice3044]

Thats why Saenchi always goes high with his arms and he is the king of that throw, its also better as the lower a persons arms are the more sure footed his opponent is.

[@pedroguerrero3862]

@@bobnice3044 this is maybe affective in muay thai but there always a chance of someone wrapping their arms around you or strikes to the side of the head. For me, I'll use my elbows, raising my arms to block any punches as I push him back with my elbow.

[@Bubble23428]

@@pedroguerrero3862 yeah that’s true if they saw it coming and that‘s why I stick with the basics(elbows,knees,jab,cross,hook,waslik(scoop parry),the gunting and the blocks) until I get the chance to do the hip bump or sweep/kenjit siko(elbow compression) or the sapu

Muay is good. But Judo is better

[@thaiboxer2012]

Go home

[@jimmys1128]

What?

[@EetFuk8]

The guy with the red gloves is bored af.

[@pedroguerrero3862]

Yes, but your opponent can grab your back and possible strikes. For me, instead of using your whole arm, I'll use my upper forearm. As you step in, raise your arms to stop any punches and throw him back with my elbow and bicep.

[@chavecas]

Wow 10m just for the first sweep ,im bored 😂

[@warriorcollective]

Hard to please you ha ha

[@XxlionriderxX]

why do you use 4 oz gloves you like beating unaware people up?

[@savethefennek7858]

XxlionriderxX Those are bag gloves i think

[@matttrepanier4692]

I am sure he also has a pair 14 or 16 oz for sparring

[@ThePrettyUglys]

Effective but way to much talking.Thanks

[@supersonik76]

Too much talking, just do it already lol

[@workdays8280]

But western people will never be able to do Muay to week.
