I completely agree with his punching style also! It might not be as rhythmically mobile as a traditional boxer but the power that he is talking about makes up for that! And the wide base and wide stance makes it harder for wrestlers to take you down! This is good stuff!

Bas is fantastic, explains and breakdowns everthing so well.

Finally, some one with a great reputation, promoting the vertical punch. I've been punching like that for more years than I can, or want, to remember. Now, when I get someone that says it isn't an effective punch I can refer them to Bas Rutten.

I like this punch's style Especially the straight shots

This is just like a Kyokushin full contact lesson in stands and strikes. Except from one thing: It is fully possible (and easy) to throw a straight punch and twist you hand WITHOUT signalizing with your elbow. Osu.

Funny I never saw this before but I came to the exact same conclusion long ago! My coach hated it but my sparring got much better, despite I wouldn't side up and do that runner stylw and I didn't use the classic boxing head motion. I simply squared my stance held my hands up, controlled my distance, circled wide to my opponents power side and stayed outside of their lead side. My takedown defense got better too!

This is gold.👌

Awesome...

This is a treasure

Bas for Emperor of the Universe

Bas' stance and combos come from Kyokushin Karate: the only thing that he learned from Muay Thai was punching the head and fighting in the clinch. He doesn't use a traditional Muay Thai stance as its easier to get wrestled with

His style makes sence but he is wrong about boxing stance, there is no boxing style where you stay on one line, there are small differences in different styles, but all of them are closer to 45° angle stance, from “outside” its closer to “one line” and inside its closer to square, you are not traped in it like you cannot change angle, and also boxing is different as you dont have to deal with leg kicks.. but other then that its great

...this is very inspiring. Should be paid. Lol.

He twists from the wrist not the elbow

@garytonks5048 @garytonks793 The stance in Dutch kickboxing / Kyokushin Karate is superior to the side on pointfighting stance. Better than traditional Muay Thai too
