My last video of the year, thank you for the love and support. It means an incredible amount to have the channel grow so much this year. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 One of the rising trends in MMA I’ve been loving is the use of Knees to the body. Carlos Prates being a great example of what an effective Muay Khao can do in the Octagon. While most people’s perceptions of knees to the body spark the image of the plum clinch, Kai Asakura shows us the power of the rear long knee. Though he didn’t win his UFC debut, there’s no doubt the arrival of Kai into the Flyweight or Bantamweight division makes for some spectacular match ups. Kai’s an aggressive striker who takes pleasure in backing his opponents onto the ropes (now cage) and putting them down with either his right hand or left knee. Kai makes great use of his of his step up high kick to early , dulling his opponents response to his shifts forward and backward for the rear long knee, while maintaining the threat of a ranged weapon. Kai’s knee often acts as a finisher, gutting opponents as they shell from a flurry of punches. When it comes to boxing, Kai makes excellent use of combinations that complement his right hand. Even better once successful, he again subverts expectation by throwing his power punches naked. If you haven’t seen any of his Rizen fights or highlights, I highly recommend watching before his next octagon appearance. Thank you 😎 Cheers
