I like how you showed real life examples.

I'm 5'9 and I versed 6'1 and the overhand right was exactly what I landed that stopped the fight, best punch against taller fighters.

5'11 vs 6'

I know this is old but I just used this in sparing it worked like a charm I went from getting absolutely destroyed to holding my ground somewhat. Thank you!

Uppercut jab to overhand right!!!! love it!! thanks man

awesome video, jeff. fighting much taller fighters can be so frustrating. you answered a lot of questions i've been wondering about. when you get the time, maybe do one about defeating them on the ground, like a more grappling focused video. i have a lot of trouble with tall guys who are flexible. passing their guard is so much more difficult, you always get tangled or hooked on something and their locks are deeper.

I mean if you’re shorter and u wrestle thats an automatic advantage

I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU. KEEP IT UP MASTER JEFF!!!

Another great video, you provide some of the best mma content on youtube. Thanks again!

Another great video Jeff. Thank you.

Watching this video after I got my ass beat by leg kicks by a guy who is 6,2 and I’m 5,7😂

lol thanks to watching this video I was able to apply the uppercut jab and overhand right against a taller orthodox opponent in Sanda sparring today! Feels great adding and successfully applying new weapons to the arsenal!

Good stuff man enjoying your videos

I love the bass boosted royalty free music, good video

Great video!

Wow impresive i dint know you had a fight record. Amazing

Thank U 4 tha videos Really learning alot

You are a hero.

The fundamentals are perfect. I'm using your southpaw and footwork seminars to get me ready,

Thank you!! I have sparring today so this helps🙏

You are a perfect instructor

Damn this is some solid shit. Glad I clicked on your videos.

These videos really help me because I started recently whit Muay Thai and I have difficulties to counter attack but now I now how to or atleast I'll try to.keep it going!!;)

Thanks! I am a 5 f twoman and I spar with guys that are 6ft plus 🤣 this is great !! My tactic is always to be very fast but that is very tiring

Best MMA youtuber ever

Awesome video

This will be my situation in 1 month!! She's 5' 7" I'm 5' 1" ... thank you for the video as my game plan has been to attack the lead leg.

Jeff, please post a video of you and your shorter sparring partner, he looked great, as did your counters. Would be good to give an example of what both shorter and taller fighters need to be aware of.

Thank you sir! 👊😎

I like how you use your backwards momentum to retreat after throwing the rear leg kick. You must be an awesome dancer.

Nice Tec & fight

My three favorite techniques are Left low kick right cross. Left hook thrown like a jab right roundhouse kick. Left hook right cross similar to Mike Tyson.

YES FINALLY TIPS TO COUNTER A TALLER GUY. Cause everytime when I spar a bigger dude than I am when I try rushing in he feels me away and when I can some good body hooks he puts me in a clench(I’m a really aggressive and technical fighter and I really like to put the pressure on my opponents to give me time to do some techniques on them)

I'm sparring next Saturday with a 6'2 Thai fighter 😭🤣 I needed this

Great Video! I always am fighting taller opponents!

You are a fucking inspiration. Love these please keep them up brother

definitely needed this. I'll be fighting an opponent who is standing at 6'1 tall while im only 5'7 tall in two days from now Thanks brother. i always go to your channel whenever i need some fight guides May your channel prosper

Very nice

As the 6’4 guy now I know what I can expect

Thanks man 💪💪👊👊

Awesome tips! Thank you very much! I definitely gonna try them. It's still hard for me not getting hit, when I close in. Do you have further tips on that? Btw is that Sean Fagan in the background around 1:38?

3:05 that counter punch thought 😂

Superman punch to the nose, calf kicks, body shots.

Thx from this tips i can defeat my dad

LOVE those sweeps! bravo! At 2:47 ; Good partner also

0:12 Stay in the outside and counter 2:01 overhand right

Awesome!!! I love videos that underline the theory with actual practicle use scenarios.

Thank you so much

Good vid

ITs all good but do you have a version of this vid without the music ?

damn! badass!

hi, I’m not an amateur fighter by any means, but how easy would it be for the taller person to adjust their strategy so they would check your leg kick when they step in? If you only do the same leg kick every time they try to close in on you, eventually they would be able to realize this and check the leg kick? I’m sure it’s a lot harder to think clearly in a real fight

Jeff my bro, that sparring session looked intense. Awesome content and tips as always but how do stick to your game plan bro?

good video

I was able to put in more hits in mma sparring by using leg and body kicks ( right leg for legs and left for body since not everyone can suspect a left kick to the body)

you have really dynamic moving and combinations! but i think thats not good idea if you going close combat with taller opponent they can to get out of your balance this is my person experience (me too 5'8 ) :D

Nice video, some useful advice in there 🙂 one thing I noticed in the first clip was that every time you threw a low kick your back hand would drop to your side, is that deliberate?

Jesus christ the music is loud😂😂💀

2:12 what about reverse punch to the head

Great video! So what advice would you give for fighting a tall southpaw fighter as an orthodox fighter in a muaythai match? I feel like a straight cross to the body would be kind've risky because they could just eat it and counter with a cross to your face. I also feel like a left uppercut or a right overhand would be hard to land against a southpaw. I've also heard people say you shouldn't use the overhand right against a southpaw. Although I'll admit I'm not that experienced so I could be wrong.

Amazing video. I'll help me in the future, mate.

oh my gosh im 5'8 too thanks for these tips i subscribed

2:16-2:19 That appeared in the anime 'Hajime no Ippo'

Also just a tip, be careful of the taller persons jabs. If their taller then you most likely their reach is longer then yours do they’ll beat you at jabs so don’t stay in defense and eating jabs unless you have a strategy.

Than overhand is sweet if you are a southpaw against an orthodox tall fighter

I see you're in Canada? In Toronto by any chance? I'd love to come train

thanks mate i was getting beat up at sparrings by taller guys

jeff how many amatuer muay thai fights/kickboxing do u have?

Sir, can u plz tell me some good combos for closing off distance n get inside for setting body shots??(in boxing)

Just a quick FYI, when you talk I can barely hear you, and when I turn up the volume I get blasted with music, great informative video nonetheless!

You are 5'8? Awesome! Me too.

Too he was rocking that man with the over hand smh

That hit and run style does seem to work on longer opponents

for us, every strike we throw should be followed up with blocks, slipping or weaving. they're looking to punish every move we make lol

why would the uppercut jab be hard to see for a taller opponent? its sneaky and vertical thus hard to perceive but what does this have anything to do with being more effective against a taller opponent? i mean, they are looking down on you, and the punch is coming from where they are looking at, wouldn't uppercut jabs be more effective thrown by tall and lanky opponents against shorter ones? you are taller so they are not seeing uppercuts coming, and it takes shorter to reach to their heads especially since they are also far from you punches with their long arms. a perfect example of this is alexander gustafsson.

Wen Jeff slices onions, onions cry 💯🧨🥊💥💥💥💪 osss

At 1:59 was that Sean Fagan?

I had to refresh my technique haha I forgot about this technique counter the counter

Calf kicks and hitting his Xiphisternum with a cross as hard as you can.

Yesterday I sparred a tall guy I can’t even hit him ones the video helped me thank you

My ears feel great

My opponent kept kicking my calf

I’m 5’5 for I’ve fought 6ft + guys for fun (MMA sparring and mix matches) never lost a single fight to the tall boys, legs and body, and you better know how to weave to counter the drastic range

But if a long person kicks it will be more painfull from a longer distance

do you have some karate expirience because in this video there is some karate philosphy

"6,3 boxer watching this video to know what smaller boxers will try" me

The music LOOOOL

1:47 what do you do if your opponent throws jab after that cross, especially if he has a longer arms

What can you do if the guy is 6,5 weighing more like 200 something Wouldn’t the leg slams be less effective?

I like how you showed real life example, but hes like beginner and too thin~

How much did the tall guy weigh?

jef sifu can u please give me u gym shedule . i try trained for one year but still look fat i didn t change my food patron please give me some advice

I'm exactly 5'8 I can never get past long guards man

Do you think a lighter weight class could hit as hard as a heavyweight? Where does the discrepancies start to be noticable between each weight class?

Yo I can’t hear the music dawg

how tall are you know? did you grow taller?

This is great at my gym it's literally all adults sand in sparring I can hardly even find ways to land my shots. However what should you do if the taller fighter is being aggressive? Should I fight fire with fire?

Is there a way to clinch with a taller fighter, or just attack the body and try to throw, I love the knees elbows and clinch of muay thai but Im 5' 4....

I’m a 5’7 14 year old boxer and a 6’1 17 year old was messing with me saying im a weak scrawny freshman, he shoved me so I hit him with a jab, overhand right and left hook he no longer wanted anything to do with me

Really comes down to who has more fight in them but shorter fighters around the world average height which is between 5'6 to 5'10 do have the advantage. If you are an aggressive fighter you will overwhelm most tall fighters easily. Shorter limbs mean faster and hard punches generally as you can swing faster. A decently aggressive slugger/swarmed boxer will just rush an opponent and start swinging haymakers at the opponents head if possible. It seems just brute force and mindless to some but if you have good timing and know how to get inside then that is key. If you can get in close fast then it's most likely game over for a taller opponent and especially if you are similar weight class. The actual reason taller people are seen to have an advantage in many sports or physical things is actually because taller people generally weigh more. But obviously a shorter muscular but also fast person which is very possible will destroy taller fighters. Also the best body type overall is a medium frame with decent muscle because you consume less calories than a tall person who is 300+ pounds probably. Imagine having to feed an army of huge soldiers. Best body type for real fighting will always be a muscular yet medium weight frame so you can still be somewhat flexible and powerful. Being too huge is a weakness actually and same with being too small. All about the balance :)
