When you posted this last week, I was thinking to myself exploiting the weakness of sidestepping to his left to your right to basically take it vantage of his back. After the first or second attempt he would probably be coming with that spinning back fist around house spinning back kick rather but you would be able to predict it because those are the only elements he can defend with in that stance. Is this correct?
What I’m afraid of is getting side kicked by that front leg to the face. Especially when you are committed to your own leg kick. I wouldn’t mind another video or two from you on how to best fight someone using this Point Fight/ Stephen Thompson style.
Trav,
great breakdown, and yes a simple weakness identified. I train with my boy Antoni Hardonk at his gym in Santa Monica called Dynamix, where he preaches and teaches the Dutch style of kickboxing which is EXACTLY that style of kicking; which is a forward moving, upward thrusting kick. As he says – “much like kicking a soccer ball”. We love sparring guys who totally give that leg to us, it’s like a bone to a dog.
Ouch ! Thanks , Trav ! Seems like some of these movements will put someone into early retirement ! You sure study these guys well ! What about us normal , Whatever that is ! Person meets someone on the street like that ? How can you know what will be coming at you ? One mistake and it’s lights out ! Thanks for the video ! Have a wonderful weekend ! You deserve it ! Cheers , Buddy !
Showing my age a bit I suppose but his stance is a bit reminiscent of Bill Wallace who also fought in a sideways stance and managed to get away with it for most of his career. I am unsure if he had to contend with leg kicks.
Check out Joe Valtellini’s win over Raymond Daniels at Glory 13. He also successfully exploited this “point Karate” style using low kicks to slow Daniel’s antics down before delivering a high kick KO.
Yep, I agree. I think its the same recipe to take out Jon Jones as well. Why don’t people go after those skinny exposed Jon Jones legs…….. screw messing with his reach
Kick the shit out of Jones legs just like Lima did to MVP.
Solid analysis. Personally I think all you guys are crazy, but it’s the kind of crazy I love to watch. Thanks Trev
Nice. Always enjoy!
More nice fight strategy – thanks!
