There was a guy I used to train with (back in my TKD days) who had a unique counter - he would do a _jumping spinning back kick._ He was spastic in some way (I didn't ask) and somehow due to the nature of his disability* was able to jump and spin faster than most people could do a regular roundhouse kick and could even use it to counter punch. *He couldn't do punchs that well, or roundhouses either. But my ribs became very well acquainted with the heel of his foot. The first time we spared, I thought "he's roughly the same belt as me, a full head shorter and disabled, I'll go easy on him" while those who knew watched with amusement and waited. I did a low roundhouse that turned into a air swing as he jumped, and he caught me in the ribs, just _barely_ missing my liver.
@@ayevaboo Bro you think that's crazy?! I saw a guy beat up another guy with no arms and only one leg going through his spine, like a kangaroo, definitely.

I'v been sparring a lot with my coach whos an amateur MMA fighter and i still get my ass beat every time, I film the sparring sessions to see what I can do better and I realized when i throw kicks he's willing to eat them to land a cross. But now with these tips in mind, whenever he throws low leg kicks I can counter him and better yet, set up fake kicks to expose the cross and counter from there. Thanks Jeff! Keep up the great work, always appreciate your content.
Jeff the last 2 years there was practically no to very limited training possible due to Corona. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say you help us out A LOT by teaching us new things through your videos. I meet up with a friend and try out your tips. Thank you so much.
I still hear your voice in my head during sparring from a really old clip where you said "kick for kick" (aka. always answer back). Your tips have really helped me tremendously in sparring ❤
This is good stuff. I prefer inside fighting and clinching so I tend to check and cross more than evade but Im gonna try and throw the lead leg back and blitz forward like you did; looks dope. I almost feel like with proper timing you could get tricky single or ankle pick with their weight shifting the way it is.
Those are some nice counters. Kickers have to drop guard in order to deliver power with the kick otherwise they simply cannot kick. You definitely have to eat a few kicks and time the counter correctly or you'll get eaten up by kicks lol. Another thing is, you'll have much better success if you counter to the body when the kicker drops guard. Essentially, when a kicker throws a kick, they drop guard and become a south paw fighter. A south paw fighter in boxing are very weak against an orthodox fighter who because the SP fighter has their right hand forward, which means the left side of their body is open to the right hand of the orthodox fighter. And once you land a few punches into the body, a kicker can no longer generate power in their legs as body punches will cause their legs to lock up. I'd say timing and counter punch placement(body) is how you deal with kickers.
@@ireneeimbert71Square your hips and step in with your rear foot to open up your hips before throwing it. But generally you can't get much torque out of an inside low kick if your opponent is in the same stance. I use it more to off-balance my opponent and disrupt their rhythm to set up other strikes rather than damaging their leg. A really good technique I use is to turn it into a sweep by essentially kicking at their ankle, this will almost always make them stumble forward if they're not ready for it making it perfect to set up a rear uppercut and follow up with a lead hook.
@@MMAShredded thank you sir! especially the angle and which part of your foot connects. (i have been constantly hittig with the foot because of my height)
Man I really like your videos. They’re entertaining and simple. Watching this makes me wanna learn how to strike and train mma. Hopefully I’m able to heal my injuries and get out there and train again.
In my Myay Thai days I used to set up the low kick with a push or a punch. As I executed the kick, I would extend the glove to cover the opponent's eyes and control distance. Result: 1. I would increase the rate the kicks landed. 2. I would never get countered with a punch. 3. However, I lost a little power.
I like to sidestep away from the low kick and counter with a front kick to my opponent's face or body or if he overspins, teep his other leg he's standing on.
I’ve been looking so hard for videos on how to defend against leg kicks as a boxer because I kept wondering why people say Boxing is one of THE most effective yet there’s very little to no tips on how to deal with kicks which would be seen in a street fight.
Definitely good to utilize this earlier in the fight/sparring but if your opponent has a good fight IQ they’ll throw out a lazier low kick and drop a check left hook when they’re coming off of the low kick.

It's a complex one I think. Short answer (more of a hypothesis) You need to train legs expensively to be tough enough to deal with checking regularly. The average mma fighter training is stretched over not just kicks but also ground work so getting the same conditioning as say a muay Thai fighter is challenging. Also checking is riskier in mma because of take downs. Could go on to say more and exception etc. But that's it in a nutshell to me, who incidently does like checking.
@@csn2887 i dont think cheking is prone to takedowns because take more time to the kicker of the low kick to reset than the checker reset. unless is a faint of course.
