I'm the guy who switches Stances all over the place for no good reason. I'm like hell yeah check this out and work myself into a corner with bad ring craft.

[@stevenguo3870]

Me too when I started switching stances 😂 I know how u feel 🙏

[@marksilva3413]

I feel like just existing with your outside foot is the key but please if anyone has any other input I would love to hear it

[@BN-xu5bz]

@@marksilva3413u mean in southpaw right? How do u get the outside foot from ortho?

[@Sophisticlesenergy]

​@@BN-xu5bzI use the same principle so I believe he means that you just use your lead foot to stay on the outside of your opponents lead foot and match it meaning keeping an open stance where both fighters have toes almost touching if in the pocket so one southpaw one orthodox or vic versa

[@blackswordsmanhypertrophy6095]

“Slammed by a fatty” 😂😂😂😂. That was so sudden

[@DarkLight-Ascending]

Isn't it always?

[@Switcheroo1]

Yeah I’ve been there.. they have the DC build and style💀

[@blackswordsmanhypertrophy6095]

@@Switcheroo1sounds like an experience. I’ve never grappled someone very fat before lmao. Maybe one day.

[@meesert]

Ive learned Judo standing right foot in front and then went to mma/kickboksing where i learned to stand with my left foot in front. It really helped me to be able to switch mid sparring pretty easy.

[@JamesBlacklock-eg4hw]

Nice job cory

[@zenzubean3036]

YESSS ANOTHER VIDEO watching you fight has definitely improved my footwork with switching stances and the importance of being able to the advantages you get are insane over your opponent if they can’t do it as well

[@Saygoodnightfight]

Corey, you should start a podcast with Luke Thomas, he is thinking of starting a show to talk about technique, strategies, and the current MMA meta. He’s looking for a podcast cohost who is currently fighting and ngl, I think you two would be a perfect fit! Could be a great opportunity to grow your channel and show the MMA diehards the inside scoop of the more integral elements of the fight game

[@MasterMind-zw3zl]

I hate that dude lol

[@Saygoodnightfight]

@@MasterMind-zw3zl thanks for letting the class know I guess

[@DubcityTX]

@@MasterMind-zw3zl I don't hate him but I shouldn't know the man's politics and I somehow still do.

[@bannedaccount6016]

Thomas is too biased and a coward man

[@RiziRama]

How I learned to strike from both stances lmao; 1. Recorded individual techniques I use regularly in my normal stance. 2. Recorded the counterparts of those techniques in the opposite stance. 3. Watched both (slowed or frame by frame if needed) and made little adjustments until every technique i use is just as effective as its opposite stance counterpart.

[@timothywebbjr633]

Glad to know I’ve been going in the right direction. Been practicing some combos from southpaw to get comfortable

[@claytonfloyd3803]

I learn a lot in a little time with this. Thanks Sandman!

[@BDZ69]

This man is a gem thank you for these amazing tips Cory!

[@rahulsup]

great video dawg, really appreciate your content and how you break things down. love you too

[@AlanSchildroth]

You are also spotting weaknesses in your opponent!

[@brianwarner308]

you'd better just caalllm down....

Much respect brutha

[@DarkLight-Ascending]

Love the black & blue

[@KeyserSoze23]

Stance switching is pretty rare in Boxing and Muay Thai, it happens but most don't do it.

[@sus425]

And when they do they usually switch and fight large periods of the fight in one or the other, like say 70% ortho 30% southpaw. You still really don’t see much of that active switching back and forth all fight like we get in mma.

[@Traptinachangingmaze]

Crawford the best switch stance fighter in history

[@davidalejandro7925]

Chingiz Allazov is the only guy that I think switch stances better than Corey or even Adesanya...that man is the best stiker on the planet for a reason ...

[@namrokk3808]

you would make a great coach.... open a gym after your career! love this channel

[@astritberisha7714]

Hello Cory . can you do a video on how to make the transition from Kickboxing to Mma , what will be your 3 things to train . 🙏🏼💪🏻

[@brianwarner308]

leader of the dance/ while you're switching your stance 🎵🎶

[@thatsthamove]

Should preface this with, “This is how I do it”

[@Cyb3r33]

I personally believe that not being able to use both stances effectively is a huge disadvantage. I started drilling both sides since I started and I think it allows me to be much more versatile. Granted I'm just 2y in, so still quite a beginner haha.

[@Roy_Right]

First Muay Thai fight coming up tomorrow and I absolutely still change stances for no reason 😂

[@Kirkrrr]

Good luck in your first fight!

[@avramsanders9198]

How'd it go?

[@Roy_Right]

@@avramsanders9198 I lost. the speed, intensity and adrenaline are so different from sparring. Was a great lesson and I’ll be back better

[@BigBirdMMA]

^ how’d it go

[@wardog5537]

Hey Cory, what are some targets and strategies that you look for in a closed or open stance with your opponent

[@drewfitschenmma]

can you please provide a video on the closed and open stance and give what your specific targets/techniques are that you look for in each? I have a better understanding of the open stance. It just seems a little bit more simple as to what techniques are available. though the close stance seems relatively more vague to me.

[@miraceski4857]

3:10 How did you train with an injured arm? Cause I had a surgery on my lead arm because of the same reason and the doctors told me that I need to wait 6 months until I cab start kickboxing again

[@stevenguo3870]

Hey Cory, whats your favorite video game to play right now? That video game analogy is spot on haha

[@neverhurtzu7871]

When I first start training Muay Thai I played around with switching stances and I’d find that I could hit my south paw jab on certain people easier at times but I haven’t mastered it yet .

[@austinstone9120]

You fight for the opposite side in orthodox, and southpaw is you fight on the same side, so whoever is faster with it

[@BR-yj7zq]

I'm voting Corey Sandhagen for president!!!

[@alexincrediblee]

Cory to run president against Sean Strickland? Sounds like a plan

[@markmessi9020]

Thx for the vid coach! I converted to mma from karate so what i did was I stole Justin scoggins template. Karate as a southpaw, more traditional kickboxing from ortho. Im adding everything you said in this video to my style tho 👊

[@scal7122]

Hey corey is this the footwork product on your website? The course

When's your next fight corey?

[@SeanstrickIandvswomensmma]

Apparently Cory vs umar is being made for the abu dabi fight fight night

[@Mcbuckets_AOT]

I just started training but I really liked your video game reference because it actually helped me understand Another relevant example is in ufc 5 (the video game) when you switch stances the buttons you need to hit to throw strikes are reversed to realistically resemble your stance switch this can slightly change. Gameplay but It’s not a giant change but it’s still there. (Idk if my explanation was good but boot up any ufc game and try it out and you will understand.) anyways I already had that knowledge but never really thought much about it but as soon as you started using the games as an example for real life combat my nerdy ass instantly understood the concept better so thank you !

[@MMAxperience24]

All the coaches in boxing that ive been with, yells at me to STOP SWITCHING STANCES while i am good at both, ..., i dont realy listen to them, am in the wrong ?

[@bigmanbigman2544]

No do what you are comfortable with
