If she ever gets really comfortable in front of cameras she's gonna be a sensation. Her technique is impeccable and she is is really attractive, made for tv in my opinion.
She should work on it. Take out all the uh's, and little stutters and she'd be perfect because she is very smart, but even smart people don't sound good with all those issues.
@@HugoStiglitz88 she's ranked the #10 women's strawweight fighter in the world. Between 2013-2014 she was ranked #1 women's atomweight fighter in the world. So Im pretty sure she's had a lot of TV time
You would not learn any of this first day. You learn stances, proper fist and punch technique etc You will not learn counter techniques and follow up techniques nor will you get detail about the difference between various martial arts kicking styles.
Very, very good tutorial on kicks. Reminds a bit of my Tae-kwon-do days even though Karate is quite different from it.(I later transitioned to kickboxing and realized pretty quick what actually Works and not so much)
Smart woman. She seems to have an exceptional understanding of her profession. She is not a machine. I haven't followed her but I do remember seeing a fight of hers many years ago where she choked out her opponent. I was a good victory but the opponent wasn't particularly good. I thought at the time, "Oh, pretty girl that knows some grappling basics." I didn't know she had since become pretty respected.
TheBlazicans Good call. Michelle's grappling has been looking so good lately, plus her striking was always great, I have a hard time seeing her losing anytime soon except for Joanna. I just hope Joanna beats this steroid head
+Hugo Stiglitz Lol yeah it's something about those Brazilian female fighters, they all come extra beefy it seems (including Gadelha a bit). However, I see Joanna out scoring her. But I do think Andrade may give Joanna some trouble with her strength and grappling. Andrade rag dolled my girl JoJo Calderwood.
@2:10 I thanked God she told the truth. So far her story sounds like mine. In hind sight I should have started wrestling in school. But I went to karate classes religiously and walked 3 miles to get there after school. I only finished the 9th grade so I was ready to be molded. I didnt like anyone that wrestled at school but dont get me wrong...I was down to scrap...I just dont want to learn from people I dont like. When I say I was down to scrap I dont mean I was available to take a beating...I with no skills at all I was a serious opponent everything being equal.
Minor point, the axe kick can work well in MMA / kickboxing /Muay Thai, but obviously not when weighted by 50+ pounds. The great Andy Hug used it to great effect in K1.
Good beginner tutorial. Early on I realized I know all these concepts, but somehow.....I kept watching lol. (I would still chamber on a tepe kick though)
I disagree with some points but it brings a good perspective that traditional martial arts needs a little ajustmants to kickboxing and MMA, but then still are realy good to that types of competitions.
so i was tought in martial arts to kick the same as you said aim with the knee then kick, i wasnt sure if your point was that in a real fight or in an mma fight this is not good and you have to change it slightly?
Funny how she said karate kicks are usually from the waist up and how with karate you use your instep for kicking. Traditional styles of karate are the opposite of what she said. Lots of low kicks and we use a lot of shins for kicking. Having said that, she is still an amazing fighter.
JJ has never looked extremely impressive against other strikers (Valerie Latorneau, Karolina ). Casuals base their entire assessment of Joanna on what she did to two grapplers with no stand up (Penne and Esparza). Waterson is a life long Karate expert who also did Muay Thai in Thailand has a dangerous submission game, and has done MMA for 10 years.
Your style of Karate the style you learned is cambering and Karate people kick with the shin ... After doing 25 Years of Karate will do many stuff.. Sports Points Karate is not the only Karate . The advantage of ring fighters of any style is that they check what works every time and the go back training... The other advantage is that they use full power and go back to teach others.... What happens in semi contact fighting is that you get just part of the picture... The advantage of semi contact is less injuries. Longer years people practice. Professional full contact people usually have a short and intense period of fighting. Very strong for 10-15 years... Correct me if I'm wrong.
She's always talking about karate kicks in formal styles like shotokan. In kyokushin you do have strong low kicks and roundhouses. Karate is not equal every karate styles.
she is painfully gorgeous
give the lady an applause already
Yeah that was awkward.

To be fair some of it is advanced but you could sum it up in 2 min

Greg Campbell yes. Its not even close in my opinion
lol
best comment on youtube this week!! savage
I hope this woman becomes the face of Women's MMA. She has a great backstory, is good looking, underdog, small for 125 and still a damn great fighter.
The Answer she’s 115
She is small for 115. Use to be 105.
Glad they're promoting her!
I'm in love
+LaShawn Walker good! I have a chance
LOL me too. This was awesome.
i'm in love but this is actually a good tutorial.
Indeed it is
Trollseeder its all basic stuff u learn first day in mma gym. there's nothing basic bout that sexy lil ass though.
You would not learn any of this first day. You learn stances, proper fist and punch technique etc You will not learn counter techniques and follow up techniques nor will you get detail about the difference between various martial arts kicking styles.

Thank you very informative.
Great techniques and teaching.
Very, very good tutorial on kicks. Reminds a bit of my Tae-kwon-do days even though Karate is quite different from it.(I later transitioned to kickboxing and realized pretty quick what actually Works and not so much)
She is great, she is a very talented fighter, smart, a mom and obviously business oriented.

Michelle Waterson remarkable!!
She's got really good advice. I like her. And her axe kicks are really nice
she sounds so adorable with the lisp makes her sound like a little girl lol love her
that was great for someone like me who also has a karate background. thanks!!
She's amazing
I like waterson good fighter tough and good on camera ... Good for her ... Standing ovation ...
Awesome Michelle, great tips, thanks
She has a nice bum. She's also smart. And the second best womens MMA fighter behind Joanna
She's not 2nd best...not yet! Give it time, she's still gotta get past my girl Thug Namajunas in April.
TheBlazicans
Nah she will destroy Rose.
+Hugo Stiglitz Oh i think so too, but i also really like Thug Rose. But I already got Karate Hottie for the win by decision.
TheBlazicans
Good call. Michelle's grappling has been looking so good lately, plus her striking was always great, I have a hard time seeing her losing anytime soon except for Joanna. I just hope Joanna beats this steroid head

Thanks!
My favorite female MMA fighter by far!! I think she's the best too
I want more demonstration like this
Great knowledge
Great stuff! The Karate Hottie is the best.
I love her
She's so beautiful.
She's gorgeous
This the best mma lesson I have ever seen
You're an awesome coach. We want you guys in our academy!
9:00 thank me later
Murray Herts there was nothing
@@DopeBoysofatlanta good technique is what there was
pause at 2:33 your welcum.
All you can say throughout this video is lawd have mercy
Excellent teacher.
Very cool!
she is bae.

Very technical, very skilled fighter and getting better.
Nice
I and my wife first became fans of hers years ago when we saw her on Mayhem Miller's "Bully Beatdown".
nuthin but luv...she so awesome
Minor point, the axe kick can work well in MMA / kickboxing /Muay Thai, but obviously not when weighted by 50+ pounds. The great Andy Hug used it to great effect in K1.
Wow. Outstanding teaching. Best MMA tutorial I've ever seen so far. Where's the applause?
@9:07...Her hubby gets that every night. Bastard!
xart23x a kick to the gut? I swear they have a happy marriage
Everyone here is singing i wish i had jesse girl for Michelle ...
Man she's so adorable!!!!
Good beginner tutorial. Early on I realized I know all these concepts, but somehow.....I kept watching lol. (I would still chamber on a tepe kick though)
this made me smile
I'd let her beat my ass for free
***** as long as you bring her with you that's a bet
I disagree with some points but it brings a good perspective that traditional martial arts needs a little ajustmants to kickboxing and MMA, but then still are realy good to that types of competitions.
After learning legs kicks I kept getting disqualified in the old full contact karate tourney's back in the late 80's early 90's. Man that sucked.
she is a good teacher
Wow
so i was tought in martial arts to kick the same as you said aim with the knee then kick, i wasnt sure if your point was that in a real fight or in an mma fight this is not good and you have to change it slightly?
5:18 cue the Anderson Silva shin snap clip.
FOCUS

True words. I went from karate to Thai. Despite being a black belt I soon found out I wasn't that good at fighting.
Thanks for your honesty, I started muay thai a month ago and get lit up in class all the time, so worth it tho😂🙌
Karate Smokin' Hottie.. What a lovely woman.
eu acredito em você Michelle , oss
I think she could do a special video with Amy Johnston. They are the best fighter women in UA-cam! (In third place we have Tess Kielhammer)...
im in love with her
Nice 🥋🥋🥋🥋
Michelle você é linda. 🌹🌷😘
Love it:)
This is why I like Goju Ryu Karate cause it teaches to hide the kick.
Good job Michelle!
There is no way this girl is beating JJ anytime ever
JJ has never looked extremely impressive against other strikers (Valerie Latorneau, Karolina ). Casuals base their entire assessment of Joanna on what she did to two grapplers with no stand up (Penne and Esparza). Waterson is a life long Karate expert who also did Muay Thai in Thailand has a dangerous submission game, and has done MMA for 10 years.
the 102 people who gave this video thumbs down must not like a strong woman who knows what she is talking about and can hurt them
Hey!Its chung li from street fighter!
I look up to her so much as a role model, not those other clowns like Kendall Jenner and Danielle Bregoli. Much love for waterson💗
I wish she'd sit down on my punch...
"In karate kicks are from the waist up"
Someone's never done kyokushin
I am agree!
ok that's human anatomy in its purest, divine form
1:22 the guy moves to her back to have a better view .. for research purpose I am sure.
9:00
here is the whole video in a nutshell...
but why would you skip watching such a specimen?
Cowboy is the man straight put her in her place!
Dangerous beauty She remind me of chung li from streetfighter
Shelly was so nervous . I love Michelle " Karate Hottie" Waterson
Who was she demonstrating to? Media? Fans? Ufc crew?
Michelle is awesome
She's so fine😍
Cung Le has thrown successful ax kicks in MMA bouts.
i cant imagine how painful it must be to have someone check your leg kick, im pretty sure i'd die
She had a child, just FYI.
