if you push someone in chest like this, no matter what strike is coming alot of the power will be taken out of it, it's kinda like jabbing every time someone comes into give a combo

@@ryanagar7498 will that help me to defend against knees and elbows

@@hmt-0764 With some modifications, yes.

Thanks and yes your right Buakaw ate some big upper cuts. I think it is mostly because in Thailand they don't see upper cuts that often. In K1 elbows are not allowed. Why uppercut on the inside when you can elbow. Im a big fan of the upper cut but a lot of Thai's I've notice don't use it so much. Danny Bill won the world championship in Thailand with the blocking system. All he did was block and throw knees. Buakaw like you mentioned is another great example of this.

+Kyle Hugely excellent!!! Great to hear!

hello, nice video.. i got a question. how do i defend myself from punches when my opponent throws combinations.. i like the frame defense.. but everytime i block the right hand, an uppercut comes.. like maybe he throw a right hand then left uppercut.. or all the different types of combinations .. or even body shots.. so end up, i have to abandon the frame defense and do the regular shell defense.. which limits my vision.. and its hard to predict when an uppercut will come.. so what do i do?

Yeah, the technique itself looks a lot like Pak Dar as well

Me too, but the Wing Chun guys apply it in a "wrong" way, I think

The shove will off balance his and make kicking very difficult. Also keep in mind you are always goal tending. So if you see a kick raise your leg and block with your shin.

Makes sense. Thanks for the response.

I'm no fighting expert but I do believe does body shots do deadly damage if they add up. Head shots I would have to say straight up jabs and follow with another under ducking and counter to a body and repeat. Spared with a 6'3 tall dude and I'm only 5'8, but there probably more efficient techniques.

Rhapzodic Found success with body shots, had trouble landing shots without getting countered. I watched another video that suggested angling off after striking, so I will try that next time

Closing the distance would be your best bet since having longer reach becomes a disadvantage once you'r in your comfort zone. In my experience using parries as opposed to blocks generally makes closing the distance easier, and another very useful skill that you can practice is using footwork and striking and/or parrying simultaneously since most boxers plant their feet when they strike. Once you get inside, having a fluency in elbow strikes work wonders when you go head hunting and as you've probably already noticed hooks and uppercuts are great for body shots. Another thing you can practice with hook punches is getting close enough and aiming the fist to strike them at the temporal bone behind the ear as opposed to aiming for the jaw. This can slip through guards a lot more easily and a lot of knockout strikes happen in MMA when they get hit there because it transfers the impact directly into the source of the vestibular sense which is responsible for judging your head's location and orientation in space which vastly influences a person's sense of balance and ability to stay upright.

counter off their punch cause then they are in your range (take a hit to give a hit, or slip/party into range) low kicks/feints to distract and close distance, idk. I'm 5'7 and I've always tried to spar guys 6'+ to work on that issue and usually you just gotta get hit, but it's hard when they start kicking too cause ducking and slips can get risky.

Set up the right cross to the body with a jab, keep doing it until you can make the read that your opponent anticipates it, as he starts to drop his guard to block your body shots, switch your right cross up to the face. Also practice

your vision should not be obstructed when you frame. Adjust your arms so you can see just fine threw the frame.

Yes it works great with 4oz gloves it covers even better the standard western boxing blocks. Give it a try it takes some time to get comfortable with.

Yes I love the Philly Shell! Stay tuned its on the list

Hey! Stupid question! saw that it been asked many times before me :)

Yes most definitely! I will cover counter punching in future videos. The reason for sometime choosing blocking with the frame over counter punching is that sometime is off and you don't feel you can counter. Sometime the angle is off and it's better to just block. Counter punching is always better offensively but like always comes with its risks. Every offensive maneuver comes with risk. I have also alway found that the better the defense a fighter has the easier it is to teach him counters.

It works great for MMA!

Here's Tyrone spong using it in his MMA fight. I've seen joe schilling and buakaw use this for kickboxing also. media.giphy.com/media/5yLgocn8Y19SuSqNSSY/giphy.gif

How should southpaw do this

this works for both tall and short guys

IMO reach makes a difference, rather than height. If the attacker has a significant reach advantage it would make this frame cutting off the power defense less effective.

@mikebalko The thing about JKD though is its also lame, not as lame as wing chun but still not great

I mean its vulnerable to uppercuts because the hand position is different for the hook and the uppercut, but all techniques have pros and cons, I do think in pure striking where most strikes are allowed, this is really effective

any vids of pure boxer beating a thai yet?

I agree

@@mongolchiuud8931 Francios Botha south african boxer beat jerome leban world champion muy thai boxer but yes it was a muy thai rules

@@micvili7527 Botha has 17 kickboxing fights and lost 14 of them. He also according to his profile trains in kick boxing. Nice try though, he's not a pure boxer.

+Ryan Bleich Yes

+Tristar Gym Thanks. I hope one day I can train there.

+Tristar Gym How is that done? I can see it working well against jabs, extending out your jabbing hand. But if you extend out the front hand to frame block the cross, you're right open for their hook.

+Tristar Gym if you block like this in mma can you get a finger in the oppents eye ??

I've been thinking about that as well. I get confused whenever I try to integrate orthodox vs orthodox techniques with a southpaw stance.
