Damn talking about your past opponent, the great Lerdsila, without even mentioning the fact that you beat him is the ultimate level of humbleness. Thanks for all your work, it's really helpful in order to improve and stay motivated in this difficult times!

Perfect. It's hard transitioning from one fight sport to the other. When I do boxing rounds during training camps I definitely don't slip low enough...although I guess it's best not to form any bad habits when you're training for kickboxing.

@Silokkes 3 жыл бұрын

I think even in boxing you don't want to slip too low, because if you need to slip lower again from another punch, you still have leeway

If you would be so kind to make a video about your fights or from other fighters I'd really appreciate it. Have a nice evening.

@thelegion8604 3 жыл бұрын

The reason that fighting an opponent who is capable of slipping your shots is so exhausting, is due to the fact that you have to stop all your own strikes. When you strike a glove or someone that’s blocking, they absorb the momentum of your strike so all you have to do is pull your arm back, which might be made easier by the fact that your limb could be bouncing of the thing your striking, but if your hitting air you have to stop the momentum behind your strike and then bring it back, which adds up very quickly, if your opponent is hitting you while dodging.

Lots of people in MMA right now are not understanding how to safely close range and strike when opponents commit heavily to the calf kick and I've seen a few in kickboxing as well where because they didn't fake entries or punish instantly they just get chopped down.

How do you feel about a drop step for the fade away? I tried the lead hand drop, and you're right, it's crazy how much faster it is. But I'm so focused on TBI, that I never ever ever want to drop my hands lol. I find that the drop step lets me get tendon power from the rear leg, so I can come back forward (possibly for a counter) pretty quickly. Would love to hear your thoughts!

But I still want to kickbox and haven't fully committed to the full time switch to MMA. I'm trying to work out my plan this month and figure out what Bellator is doing kickboxing wise.
