Tj actually would be a good coach/teacher

TJ is my favorite fighter. He was just a wrestler when he started but has developed into a true mixed martial artist. From his footwork to his cardio, his game plans and versatility, he is so well rounded. He is also a really chill cool guy and seems like a decent person. I hope he starches Cody again!

This guy is perfect combination of muay thai and wrestling.

One of the best at actually doing this in his fights. Always kicks from an angle and doesn’t leave himself wide open for the counter...mostly...☮️

Did you make this video for Gokhan saki?

Such a great fighter and amazing in his craft. A wrestler who is now a well rounded martial artist

I didn’t like TJ after McGregor called him a snake and he left Team Alpha Male but I realize he did the smart thing. He left to learn and improve himself. He’s the best bantamweight in the world now.

Duane Ludwig is one of the best people I’ve ever met in the fight game. Exceptional human being/martial artist.

Epo and leg kicks.. I'm listening......

Nice instruction. Also to note, that the high kick that sent Cody to the mat in their last fight was set up beautifully if you watch closely. TJ was purposely looking down while kicking Cody's legs. Even with that big tell (which TJ was purposely doing to set a trap) he was still landing leg kicks. Then when TJ see's Cody stand square (which is a tell for Cody when he's about to strike/counter up close) while looking down and mimicking the widnup of a low kick, TJ slightly bent more at the waist and high kicked Cody right on the jaw. It was the perfect trap that Cody didnt see coming. Being that Cody was in his "set" position (standing square, ready to strike/counter), TJ threw his trick kick knowing that Cody cant check it because he's standing square to him. Cody's options are either take the kick full (which is already hurting from previous kicks), or quickly scoot back (dodging) causing him to pull his feet together, stand straight up with his feet slightly behind his center of gravity (off balanced), leaving Cody in a position to dodge a low kick, but wide open for the hidden, trick, high kick, that sent him to the ground. Granted, I didnt see it live because there's just too much action, but after watching the replays, it was amazing to see how much planning/laying traps that TJ was doing in the mist of a crazy fight. The amount of multitasking and thinking/planning/executing that these "smarter" fighters are doing in the middle of the fight ie TJ, GSP, Conor (his wins), etc. is truely mesmerizing.

The trick is to learn to give a low kick at close distance, that way you generate more power (and lose less) and you can actually make a solid combination instead of only one kick. Besides, learning to do it with the front leg is even more useful, since you can hit the inside (the weak spot) of the thigh.

Great pro tips. Thank you so much for these and keep them coming !

True masters of the Martial Arts...champ and sensí spreading the knowledge #BeWaterMyFriend

Very smooth how you threw that kick . SNAKELIKE in fact .

This is great you guys teaching now I'm pumped!!🤙🤙🤙

When TJ gets to like GSP age, he will be such a legendary coach. he has it all there already. calm, straight forward, no ego, fight smart. I will definitely try to get in at least one lesson with him in person

Great video, thank you for sharing the tips.

tj you proved yourself I respect your story and legacy.. true champion.. mad love..

Wow so detailed and easy to learn thanx

Top level lesson for free thanks tg and also bang.

Thanks TJ. Good tips. I'm gonna keep this is mind.

Thank you TJ. Awesome lessson I learnt there. That is why you the champ.

Best advice in the world

Great stuff

Thankx TJ for the points I'm mma student who just looking to get better as artist and hopefully one day be in the UFC can you please do a video on footwork and how you use your fancy footwork please 🤙🏾✊🏾💪🏾

Godlike footwork

Thank you!

Stephen Wonderboy Thompson did his first ever seminar in my gym and one of the best things I ever learnt about watching a world class fighter train is their technique. Like literally so on point, perfectly physically tuned technique ready to just go off any second. Feet always in the right position, efficient as anything. One thing he mentioned was not to telegraph your shots, same as TJ here

I missed watching TJ’s old Onnit videos where he did stuff like this.

the guy is a savage. and humble.

After watching this video figured id give it a shot.. now my grandma's in the hospital.. Thanks T.J.!!

Thank you ossss

Love Tj. Awsome guy

Tj has come so far, this content is a tad elementary but the basics win fights quite often. IMHO Tj has grown into one of the very best to compete in MMA. I'm always studying his movement even though I'm 210 lbs, it's still very inspiring. Much credit to Ludwig as well 👍

TAM with the 10 downvotes, yet they been watching this all week

Awesome !

Cheers champ!

He said about the eyes. In the first fight TJ looked low so cody moved back and he caught him with the high kick

TJ says that the technique to swing your arms when you throw your leg kicks is not efficient but if you look at the power Barboza and Gaethje generate from that it's crazy.You know it's coming but you can do very little to stop it imo.But each to their own.TJ does sound intelligent here though.

Thank you TJ “GOAT”

Where's the Ninja Bow and Salute 😂

Tj is so awesome I’d love to meet this dude

Brilliant

thanks champ. knout out cody again!!

TJ A GREAT FIGHTER

Thanks yo

Eye pokes straight ahead!!!

Ludwig transformed TJ into a lethal fighting machine.

very nice eye poking technique there mate!

Very good

Holy shit, wish I was built like TJ!

You're one of the best martial artists in the planet. I hope you don't fuck up the 1st round of your title defence like the 227 fight.

Beat cody again teach him a lesson

Yeah, Cody is in the back office at AphaFail central taking notes for sure.

Nice

Thanks for teaching cody here😂

damn i ve been kicking with that swinging arm motion for years i m trying it now and it s fucking up my balance haha will work on it

RIGHT !

This one video is worth hundreds of dollars in seminar knowledge.

Good luck champ

Fire

Nice sleeve

Tj signature kick

ayyy tj got a new tattoo

nice leg kick

ANDDDDD STILLLLLLLLL THE CHAMP

#BangMuayThaiNeverDie

TJ I know you probably won't see this but just in case I seen some guys when they play kick they point the two and some guys pull the toe back I noticed in the video you did both as well which is the best or proper way??

Dwayne just pointing and nodding.Lets be real he has created a monster

Can you make a video on how to beat Cruz Please Thanks

Killashaw cut as fuck, the ideal body men should strive for.

Cool tattoo TJ

TJ is in top 5 P4P fighters idc what anyone says

mandingo muay thai at soi cowboy, thailand.

Hello idol T.J.

TJ picogram dilshaw

I would really like to train with you ... TJ. simply the best

Should make a “Tips on cheapshots”

Ill use these tips for my next bum fight match,

Bang has proven again he is one of the best striking coaches in the damn game. Like TJ or hate him, he is the GOAT at Bantamweight, and has an absolute super genius in his corner. He won't lose the belt again. He honestly never lost to Cruz, dude got robbed.

dillashank you going down

TJ best

this is exactly what happened with the high kick. In the UFC analysis with Hardy, they show that tj is looking down on codys legs. Fake low go high -> knockdown. Cool stuff

🐐

When you kick low do you always keep you foot pointed upwards

Damn just learned a good move as a southpaw

Im so hyped to see cody v tj 2 i want cody to win just so they can set up a trilogy

Great video but does the first one not just result in you eating a right hook?

here after 2nd fight.

Talk about that kick you like to do where you dip your head down, like ducking a punch, & throw a high kick from that position. It’s tricky. It’s not the conventional roundhouse Muaythai kick.

my muay thai coach always tell me to swing my arms

Nice can you do that on inside leg Kicks Too ?

I feel like Duane is dying to talk to the camera cuz of all the fucking nodding he’s doing while TJ talks😂

Right?
