  • Some of the most successful strikes I throw happen when I am backing away from an opponent. It is not a commonly taught protocol among schools that teach fight sports but it is definitely something I have found success with and you can too!

    I remember Anderson Silva also has a very good move when he's backing out. He basically lean back, step his right leg back into Othordox stance and fire the right hand at the same time, it looks like a right jab but it's a right cross.

    in basketball they talk about a 'negative step' (taking a small quick step in the opposite direction you want to move in) to be able to efficiently change direction.

    Great video. We use the term critical distance line (CDL) when talking about distance measurement. I really like how even moving back you are still using your hip in the punch. We do a drill to measure CDL where a partner walks toward the student with a big pad and the student will kick or punch the bag and the immediately call out early, late, or on time as far as whether he or she got full power in the attack. We then step it up with the partner moving in at different speeds to help with the timing as well as the distance.

    I'm not disagreeing with you. I step back moving the front leg first, everything else is the same. Maybe it lets me get the front leg away from a leg kick. Maybe it allows me to step off angle quicker. I don't know. That's what I do. I've never been one to back up much. I think it's because I'm almost always the shorter fighter, and that lets them close the distance for me into my counter strikes. When I do come forward, I remind myself to account for their front hand because of people like you lol

    Love it! If I might make a suggestion for the person in Sweet T's position, or pad holder. Instead of bringing up the pad before you move forward, keep it up, and then suddenly move forward. Pull it up lets your puncher know your planning on coming forward and prepare. Where as I think if you leave it up before hand, it would be more representative of someone moving forward. Love you guys, watch all the time! Keep it up!
