Khuen Khru Brian Yamasaki demonstrates some basic counters to the Overhand Right. These techniques can be applied to MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing.
the stuff this guy teaches will save your ass in a street fight.I should know,I have had many crafty boxers try to take my head off and the crafty boxer especailly if he is a muscle guy can be very scary but the stuff this guy teaches is no non sense reality.
street fight indeed made by overhand punch. here in the philippines we never use any kind of punch in the street but only this punch. maybe you haven't seen overhand punch bombardment. it is many and faster than a shoeshine.
wut about slip and a simultaneous right straight counter? a looping overhand vs. a straight - the straight'll get there faster and the slip gets your head out the way, know wat im sayin, plus ur opponent would be moving into it
@lhkjk i seen alot of ufc fights well to me 10 matches are a lot and then people rarely do site step or even go 3d . they just stand there in one direction .. maybe it is not that easy maybe its mentally though to stay cool.. but i rarely see any nice fights not in boxing nor in ufc.. its like they stand there in one dimension and its so strange.. its as if they are 2d characters
I think I am to face a short, stocky, not fast, pretty powerful guy, who throws overhand rights with his body weight behind them in karate. I can't duck because he is shorter. Mostly I will try to back off right and left, but I am also thinking to counter with a teep maegeri, left round house or left knee. I am not sure. I can see them coming but I usually just evade the battering ram.
Aren't these returns and not counters? Counters are when you wait for him to throw an offense and you go right away with your own offense to interrupt him. As a counterfighter, I usually counter this by slipping left & at the same time, throw a right cross or own overhand right...he would usually hit my right shoulder while I hit his face. Just last week, I dropped one guy trying a superman punch & yesterday another fool didn't get dropped b/c he tagged my right shoulder w/a superman punch
That's the same thing people said facing Ali. But they were wrong :'). With the right speed and experience, falling back and countering can be devestating, but you got to know what youre doing. That's exactly what the guy says. I do not agree with the last part of your comment, that it's most effective - but I do agree that when in doubt: circle. It's the safest thing to do. Boxing is timing: know when to take a risk!
im no expert myself but it looks like he hasnt used the overhand right too much, hes throwing it basically like a wild haymaker. it should look like ur splitting wood or doing your sledge hammer drills with one hand onley, the hand should b obove your actual head not level with it. figured id try to help and not be a dooshy "keyboard warrior" lol
Wouldn't it be more practical, and require less movement to simply slip to the right, cup the right side of your head with your arm, and counter with a right hook? may require abit better timing, but the overhand is a pretty slow punch
Im no know it all but I know a boxer would probablly weave not slip "make a "U" shape from the inside to the outside of his left shoulder (going under his arm) and counter with a left hook. to the ribs, jaw or both.
@reppin49dank Your stupid comment is akin to saying lets see you counter Tyson's Hook, Ali's jab. This video is for people to use in their fights, not fantasy match up's!
@ianrussell999, by circling, you could be running straight into a turn back kick or spinning heel kick or swing elbow, or spinning backfist. You don't know that he's not setting you up for that too. There's no technique that will work 100% of the time. That's not to say that circling out isn't a great way to deal with any type of tecnique, which is why it was the first option shown in this video. Best of luck to you and all they ways you deal with striking techniques.
Question: With the over hand right, its a really wide swing as it kind of circles around to reach its target, then, if your fast cant you step right into it before it gains any power, but use a fast right straight at the same time to counter any potential left jabs or hooks?
Step to the outside and use your natural movement away for a right hook, assuming it's right overhand...but have a quicker, shorter left hook to come straight in so you counter the counter again. if you connect on the first, the quick left hook will almost definitely score a knockdown unless you're either a pillow puncher or facing Dr Ironchin
@@JacobStevens13 Yoo I fought an ironchin twice won the first, lost the second. Second he hit my nose (was dislocated or sumthing by an iron when i was 8,) w a hook n knocked ME down. You see I had already watched this video n attempted to do wat was said. Did NOT work against Sir Ironchin down here.
I don't train, but I do watch a lot of fights very closely. Do you think a slip to the outside (moving left instead of right) would be a good counter to this punch? If they were thowing more of a right hook than an overhand right I guess that would be a bad idea. After the slip though the opponent's head is usually hanging out far for a left hook counter. Dan Hardy caught Rory Markham with that recently I think.
@TakingItToTheMMAT , I've put the Turn Back Kick Set Ups as a video response so you can see how moving outside and off the line of the Jab (the 1 in the 1 - 2 combination) is not without it's own set of problems. The list of "could happens" is limitless. In the end, you've just got to go with what you feel is best.
You are not catching them with a short left hook if they are skilled! Defend the overhand FIRST! You step in thinking you’re going to hit them with a short left hook but they hit you with a short overhand
New here but ive noticed that, as EVERY good instructor points out, the best defense is footwork and posture....... but that brings me to a question. Say a guy is running towards u with an overhead, where he drops his head and doesnt watch where his punch is going, would it be better to counter with an uppercut or knee OR evade??
@anhzor straight or hook.. either way it'll hurt ;). i just figure with your body torqued and leaned to the right after slipping, you can whip your hips around for a pretty big hook.
When you pull back or snap back as you like to say it I was thought to keep my rear hand up while my lead hand dropped but my lead shoulder tucked into my chin. We do it like that to easily recover from the pull since putting your weight when you pull back makes it hard to come back up. When in other wise, having your lead hand down, makes it easy to build back momentum for that straight right counter or left if you’re a southpaw
Earlier I sparred with my cousin(boxing but only allowed to hit the body), he always used an overhand right, the step to the side was effective but i have a hard time to counter because he is fast and I have medium speed, and everytime he punches he hits with his palms, like a slap, I want to find a way to counter punch an overhand right.

skip to 2:45, then 4:30,

Throw a left Jab, Duck down and throw the overhand right, step to the left while throwing a MEAN left hook. GG

Same with karate. We often end up standing face to face tenderising each other's chests. I am not sure what it is but as you saw it is so 2D.

what ever you say boss you should go into the ufc if your that good

If you circle away from overhands, you’re gonna see stars after the lead hook lands.

Most guys that throw the haymaker also keep running at you, so a snap back will have you tackled.
I love how real u guys speak the first half of this video. 👌
So this is what Bret Michaels has been doing since Rock of Love.
lol, if you listen carefully his corner DID tell him to circle away from that right but for some reason he didn't listen
yeah the second one i wouldnt play with when fighting someone of my calibre...
the first is the safest and most effective..

You should make a video on how to deal with people who just throw a string of random bolo punches!
thanks guys, i like the heel to floor and come back.
its a slightly different variation to what i do. i think ill try it out^^

if you know it all then why are you watching tutorials?..
@ianrussell999, except that he's not throwing a 1 - 2 counter in this situation because it's an overhand right counter, not a 1 - 2 counter.
Thanks for the basic tips, helpful for beginners like me.
han henderson is one o the best examples
@TakingItToTheMMAT , I've put the Turn Back Kick Set Ups as a video response so you can see how moving outside and off the line of the Jab (the 1 in the 1 - 2 combination) is not without it's own set of problems.

Step in short left hook or outside slip left hook to body
Intercepting left elbow
You are not catching them with a short left hook if they are skilled! Defend the overhand FIRST! You step in thinking you’re going to hit them with a short left hook but they hit you with a short overhand

Hi, it is really great, thanks.
Dats brett michaels and kid rock in one
If someone does a big punch i just do a fast jab to the nose(then combo into lowkick!!! :P), allways works.
@anhzor straight or hook.. either way it'll hurt ;). i just figure with your body torqued and leaned to the right after slipping, you can whip your hips around for a pretty big hook.
Pretty good tutorial. The only problem I see however is what if your opponent has a much greater reach than you?
When you pull back or snap back as you like to say it I was thought to keep my rear hand up while my lead hand dropped but my lead shoulder tucked into my chin. We do it like that to easily recover from the pull since putting your weight when you pull back makes it hard to come back up. When in other wise, having your lead hand down, makes it easy to build back momentum for that straight right counter or left if you’re a southpaw
What you are explaining is called a philly shell. It's a great move for sure though.
Best defense I've seen thank you
You earned subscriber
@reaperofdagrim You can lean back to evade a hook, though leaning back is usually not a good idea, you can't as easily move back away from a cross.
Earlier I sparred with my cousin(boxing but only allowed to hit the body), he always used an overhand right, the step to the side was effective but i have a hard time to counter because he is fast and I have medium speed, and everytime he punches he hits with his palms, like a slap, I want to find a way to counter punch an overhand right.
Counter the overhand right with another overhand right 🤔
with two orthodox fighters the best counter is the uppercut or a overhand right.
Once you see that left leg move to your right go for a takedown
Need many practices against that one
If u watching tyron woodley vs bj penn
U will see how dangerous that punch
Woodley and BJ never fought brother.
SO DOPE!!
just go forward... :/
obv easy to say atm not in a fight, but go forward wen u c those haymakers
agreed
I'm a southpaw how do I defend and counter?
How do I prevent from getting stacked when I throw the Triangle?
not bad, actually - pretty good,
thanks, I have been battered by that overhand right before.
great vids lads, def helped me alot for my semi pro mma.
@ianrussell999
That would work good in boxing
hahaha your comment made my day haha
when in dought ......move your feet
duck and bodylock?
Great stuff guys!
you guys are awesome :D
I thought you can also counter with a right uppercut while blocking the overhand right with the left arm kinda.
I think I saw maidana use this alot against soto karass
