That was a great tutorial from start to finish and I am glad he explained that you can go to your right if you're more advanced. In some schools of boxing it is taught that you go to your right when facing a southpaw in order to expose their centre line. Obviously you can't do that as much in kickboxing because of the left kick.
Huh, I was taught to NOT go to the right when facing a southpaw because you are walking into the power left hand. I was taught circle left to get a better angle since they only have 1 hand to defend them and it's easier to "pressure". This isn't from boxing though. I learn this from MMA. I thought MMA and boxing striking weren't too different. I learn something new everyday!
Most trainers will teach you to circle left against southpaws and most people do it, however they are not very successful. From the boxing world, look at James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather. They almost always go to their right against southpaws and they have been pretty successful. Tyron Woodley who is a very limited striker also went to his right against Stephen Thompson who is a southpaw and a great striker, and kind of nullified Wonderboy. Things are not so black and white but in general when you go to your right against a southpaw in boxing you expose their centre line and when their left hand is thrown, it is thrown away from their body as opposed to across their body. When you go to your left against an experienced southpaw, he can cut you off with a hook upstairs or downstairs, and better southpaws will shoot a lead left hand while you're going to your left against them. Check Nonito Donaire who tried to circle Guillermo Rigondeaux to his left and every time he did that Rigondeaux would shoot a left straight on an angle or an uppercut. There are fighters that have gone left or circled left with success against limited southpaws
It all depends on the fighter your fighting,and what type off martial art you do,I’m a southpaw I use sport karate and Muay Thai,but I like to have my power leg forward power hand or elbow back,so circle left can walk straight into power front leg and power hand,and and some southpaws have power hand forward,so all really about knowing your opponent skills and weaknesses,me personally as southpaw always go right to move away from the power kick and hand,
Hi Joe, I really admire your videos and I got used to your weekly instructive episodes of the Bazooka Kickboxing Series. Did you stop these episodes with the last one, number 40?
I am a southpaw and I just used the mirrored version of this video to get some tips. You're awesome, JV! mirrorthevideo . com/watch?v=a7NvQ9uyx9U Just remove the "spaces" before and after the "."

As a southpaw it is cool to see and learn on the mirror.

Hey can you do a video on how to fight a taller fighter I'm fighting on the 24th I would love your advice I have high respect of your style
Yes i would like to know more about this from a kickboxing stand point too. Is it the same theory as in boxing??
I have never considered the liver shot from orthodox to southpaw.
Pretty easy for the orthodox fighter. For the soutpaw its harder.
@@Melledegroote yeah but the liver shot via kick or knee way easier and already pre loaded for a southpaw ,.
i just had my first k1 rules fight against a southpaw. it was a draw but i found the back leg quite alot.
Thank you boss
imagine you doing a vid with shane fazen that would out of this world
What happend to the Academy series? :-(
FINALLY
yess
it's the same for a southpow, is there a difference ?
Minus the left hook liver shot , its pretty much the same.
Cause your pretty much mirroring yourself both wayz
Sad see this video 😐 what's about left-handed advantage
As I lefthanded fighter, I'm detecting some orthodox bias 🙂.
I am a southpaw and I just used the mirrored version of this video to get some tips. You're awesome, JV!
