"If you do circular stuffs, always do a straigh stuff after, left, rigth or teep to avoid counter" : my Muay Thai coach. Glad to hear it here too ! Thanks man
Exactly. In sparring, everyone wants to rush in right after I've thrown a kick, so I generally jab, or occasionally teep. Works every time, they hear "finish with a kick" so much that they want to want to take advantage of the time after you've "finished"
Interesting. I learned "Slash, stab." Basically the same principle. In armed, and unarmed fighting. In a bare knuckle fight, a hammerfist isn't a Slash, and a Mule-fist isn't a Stab, but also. "Slash!" is a lot faster for coach to yell than "Hammerfist!"
I saw your videos for the first time today. I have no interest in fighting sports. But you have such a powerful optimistic outlook on life, I find inspiration. Thank you for being a good man.
This is absolutely GOLDEN coach, I have struggled to "hide" my teeps, so to say, you just filled some big holes in my game sir!! Those steps across center are awesome, little details to help create that angle I need!! Thanks so much!!
Its about 4:07am in India i just randomly searching as how not to get punched on nose videos i really loved the way u thought nice content really loved your way of teaching I've started following you up man ! Much love stay fit MMA
Hey Ramsey. I am a 32 year old man, pretty soft spoken, easy going guy who works in a rough and tough water utility plant and I get picked on. There is a open MMA amateur tournament in my city and when I mentioned in the break room I would enjoy entering, I was booed down, they told me I would get eaten alive. I have worked hard on martial arts with my brother, mostly Catch Wrestling with some Jeet Kune Do thrown in, and I would love to win this thing and get some respect from these rough and tumble co workers of mine. I have 10 months to train. I have a heavy bag, a number of training DVD's, from Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, Catch Wrestling, Kali, JKD, etc, I feel like if I can continue to ingrain these techniques I stand a fighting chance. With COVID 19, I can only spar with my brother on the weekends, but we get in around 10 hours each weekend, actively pressure testing and trying to improve technique and put together attack and defense flows to use on the Big Day. I have a choice to make regarding entering as a middle weight (less then 189 pounds) or as a heavyweight (anyone north of 189) I currently weight 230. I am actively working on improving my cardio and strength with weights and MMA workout DVD's. I am trying to following your training guide of two workouts a day with one on technique/sparring and one of strength/conditioning. I welcome any and all thoughts you might have. Thank you for your videos.
When i teach the snapkick in Taekwondo I teach a combination of the front snap kick and the kickboxers teep. This is commonly taught in Taekwondo it snaps upward as well as pushing away. Very effective. Very powerful, hard to believe that a kick practiced for thousands of years was invented by Steven seagal 10 years ago 😂. Great videos, keep the videos coming 👍
I really like these technique videos. I'm not a fighter or anything but a fan of mma and muay thai. So its really cool to get an insight to what the guys in the ring/cage are doing and why.
Just tried the low inside to cross hook combo on my coach during PT. I landed the round kick after, but I wasn't in position for the teep. He looked impressed. Will continue to get out there and train! Thank you Hater Sensei 🙏
Hey Ramsey! I used to love this front kick, but over the years it happenend mulitple times that I tried to use it in sparring and my training partner blocked it with their knee or slammed their elbow down on it, and I hurt my big toe or foot really bad. Now I don't like to use it that much anymore. Is getting hurt like that just part of the game, or did I not perform or time my kick right? (English is my first language, but I hope you got the point :) )
The teep is primarily a counter strike (Eg: you teep to intercept an oncoming leg kick or straight right punch) If you are counter striking, your opponent cannot defend the teep since he’s already committed to the attack. If you use the teep in combination with a leg kick as shown in this video, most of the time, your opponent will be too occupied with the leg kick to deal with the teep.
There is a simple principle. Don't kick high unless your opponents arms are busy elsewhere. Or you sneakily hide it under your arm like so: th-cam.com/video/smVGscP_L5o/w-d-xo.html
I needed that! My trainer/coach always says that my teep is my greatest weapon, and I have always difficulties to measure the right distance for a finishing teep. But it kinda feels that it only clicked right now when I heard you explaining to shift with/thru a great step to the left. Damn you are making good videos, It's basically like having a short but high level lesson/tip from an also high level trainer/coach to go. Would love to see more of those combination-principles (like you called it), for the best use of certain attacks. Kinda certain combination- set ups for special weapons if you get what I mean. Anyway just keep going with your output it's really good! Sry for bad english & greetings from Germany!
I've been following you for a while and I'm used to drop a like after you give informations on a generic topic, but man, when I saw the board breaking being done with "that"... I dropped a like
@@mmareviewer.2372 funny part is that its true you know, screaming psychologically tenses the body more hence generating more power, thats ehy bruce lee did it
I've always wondered why people don't teep more. I feel like most people want to follow with a counter right or a check hook. I get that it works for some like Vincente Luque, but it makes me uncomfortable when everyone wants to fight like a warrior instead of making responsible choices, hahaha.
I like the chambering and moving off the center line and finishing with the teep to create distance, totally going to practice that. Have you ever led off with a Teep come in behind it with a hand combination. It was how Kimbo Slice got served his first loss in MMA, exposing him as a hack LOL. I think its the easiest way to defeat a boxer.
I never thought of using a combo to set up the front kick because I'm more of distance striker but, whenever I'm sparring with someone I might give it a shot.
y'know, I used to hate this guy cuz back like three years ago, I was a master wong lover. And I got rlly furious when Ramsey started bashing him. However, no, I did not use master wong's techniques in combat, so that's why i loved him lmao. I just thought that those wing chun/tai chi moves r cool and didn't really realize that most of those techniques are no accurate representations of those martial arts. I thought that Ramsey was just a guy racist toward the Chinese and is just a hater toward Kung fu...but when I watched one of his sparring videos, I saw Wing Chun techniques being applied. I was shocked. I saw him discussing the usage of Tai Chi in reality combat without biasedness. And till this day, in this video, Wing Chun trapping/blocks are still executed by him. That's the type of martial artist we need. Open-minded. Btw r all Chinese dudes funny af lmao
Great combinations. I replayed again and again to get all the nuances. Excellent remark about getting the angle. Also loved the remark about chambering the leg after the teep. This is a basic in traditional karate, when taught and performed correctly
Closing the gap is important but creating space is more important. Creating space slows an attack and lets you catch up. Now the push kick and truthfully most side kicks are space creators to stop an attack. I was never a great puncher. But gaining distance in order to deploy mace or a baton is important. Not enough coppers pay attention to that and need to see videos like this one. I know I sound critical a lot. But I get a lot out of these videos and see things I have used in police work a lot
First: I LOVE front kicks! So effective yet somewhat underrated. Thank you for expanding on the topic, coach! Second: the audio wasn't very good on this video, unfortunately.... :/
Nice breakdown Ramsey! I'm a big fan of yours. Hopefully I can visit China and your gym when this virus is over. Btw I like to finish my combos with a lowkick, but instead of just getting back to my regular stance I follow my right kick, place it down next to my opponent after I landed the legkick instead of pulling it back which leaves me in a southpaw stance. While doing this I'm slipping to his left and then land a left straight most of the time.
Ramsey, I've really enjoyed some of your videos, and I've been wondering if you can review an anime called Kengan Ashura. Ive been watching some of the fights for a long time and I think it is one of the most realistic and best fighting anime series out there. If possible, can you do a review of Okubo vs the Fang? Thanks!
You're.* (Your is for owning something [example: "your car, your kicks, your pets," etc], and you're is for actions and being something [example: you're doing it, you're amazing, etc]).
Hey Coach, thoughts on hopping while doing a roundhouse kick to the body? I've done it for a long time, and nobody told me NOT to do it since it's one of my best techniques and I do it with speed and power (plus I'm short so it helps me reach), but I'm just wondering if there is a way to do it that I'm missing.
There are lots of great ways to do round kicks. I don’t hop when I do it personally, but I know some fighters that do, and to great effect. And I know a lot of students who have floundered about trying to hop while kicking. Is it giving you the results you want?
Hey ramsey Any drills or tips for traning alone? I want to compete as I used to after this corona virus but im afraid that I would lose technique or the feeling of a sparring, I just want to be as good or better that I was before and I don’t know if thats posible specially with grappling Btw english is my second language
Ramsey, I have a very hard time in head movement, often I'm not convinced with my head movements when throwing combinations in boxing, or dodging blows, plus often, whilst in between a combination, I hurt my neck or move my head in a way where my neck or head becomes stiff and makes me vulnerable for attack of my foe, so how can I train my head and neck, plus another qs, How can I work on my chin, can one strengthen their chin, or its just natural
Hey man, love the videos. I got a question for you. I'm pigeon toed and it's really hard for me to get my foot turned the right way when I throw a teep or a front kick or even an ax kick. When I was younger and had better knees I could kind of force it and get it turned right, but now if I do that it feels like my knee is going to pop out of place. On kicks where I'm turning my hips, like a roundhouse or a side kick I can get it turned right without any issues. But with something like a teep where I'm not really turning my hips, I can't get it turned right without feeling like I'm going to hurt myself and I feel off balance. I've tried turning my hips to compensate, but that just feels really awkward. Is there another kick or something you can suggest that I could use in place of the teep, that would have the same effect? Thanks!
Ok, I have my first question for the coach! In this video, before you throw the push kick, you are completely square with your opponent. That works for the opponent, because, as you say, he can kick you back or throw a punch at you. But what if you are NOT squared up? Please refer to the KarateNerd video with Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace. Could Bill's technique work in MMA? He keeps his side to the opponent (smaller target), and as he ducks away from a punch he sneaks in a sidekick simultaneously. (I understand Bill has a Judo background, and maybe he could get away with it in a cage fight)
Question. I find making push kick, from closer distance, by twisting toes out landing with heel. Also the higher i put knee the better. Question is could i use it in context of vid?
I feel like most people are woefully under-utilizing the teep. More people need to study Smart Payakaroon. He was very skilled though there's no footage of him in his prime he was still pretty good since he had build insane fight IQ to adapt his style to smaller lungs. He utilized the teep like boxers utilized their jab and was able to adjust his kick into different kicks (side teep, inverse round kick, etc) much like boxers can adjust their jabs into hooks, uppercuts, body shots, etc. I think legs are definitely underutilized by most people (at least those I've seen). Also just think about how effective leg kicks have been in MMA. Almost every time I see them they do amazing damage. Now imagine that these fighters have the ability to turn those into head kicks, teeps, etc at will.
The one were you punch 1, 2 and use the same rotation for the kick and then teep... I udually did the dame combo in soo bahk do but imstead of a teep i did a side kick with the same leg i judt kicked... It has less power, but it wins points and points are howntou win in soo bahk do
Hey Coach, this might be a question for a Q&A. What do you think of fighters using a half guard game in mma? Should they scramble to get standing or else get full guard, or can half-guard work in mma with strikes threatened from the top?
Half guard is a transitional position. It’s not somewhere you want to camp out in an MMA fight or even in a BJJ tournament. You use that position to advance position, to improve position, to get up, to sweep, or to set up a submission. If you’re not doing any of those things, it’s not half guard, it’s what wrestlers call a Turk- which is a pin in wrestling, and a beat down position in MMA.
11:29 jesus christ, and you make your own music amazing music as well!? You're a wise man (who does amazing podcasts that speak stone cold truth), world class martial artist (who makes amazing videos like these), fighter (who can beat up at least 90% of the world [including me]), AND musician (who composes amazing soundtracks)!
I have a question, it be cool if you answer this If a heavy weight person punch but the speed it slow as a not train person punch and a light weight person punch but the speed it like Bruce lee Who punch harder? Or take more damage (SpeedOrWeight)
That depends on how good their body mechanics are. You can move your arms really fast in a punching motion with zero power behind it. Or, if you use correct punching mechanics, you can strike with devastating force with much less speed. There are a number of other variables in that equation.
I live a few miles from Matt Hughes. You're aware that he could still pull your arms off and fuck you with them, no? Train brain, or no train brain, Matt Hughes could probably kill like....everyone in the comment section.
As a follow up to a right leg kick, yes. For an orthodox fighter, most of your teeps will be thrown with the lead- especially when counter striking. However, there are moments where a right push kick comes into play. But understand that the rear leaf takes considerably longer to reach its target than the lead leg (roughly 3 times as much time) which makes the lead the far superior intercepting tool.
Try it both ways and see what happens. I have a blind spot in my left eye, but I can still see motion through my peripherals, and I usually box orthodox.
Question about terminology. Is a teep a push front kick, and do you always use the front ball of the foot like you did in the video or do you sometimes use the whole flat of the foot aka “Sparta kick?”
I was taught that if you want it to be more like a stinging jab, you use the ball of the foot, but if you wanna use it like a stiff jab for maximum push, you use the whole flat of the foot
@@RamseyDewey it's alright Coach! I'll look it up. I like doing teeps in training and your idea behind it made so much sense so I wanted to look up you explaining it more. I'll practice this and the footwork first thing in the morning!
finally thanks for saying that combos are bull shit. they are inly good for learning how to transfer from a hook to cross and to uppercut as fast as one can thats it.
What are some things you learned as a white-belt vs things you learned as a black-belt? As a white belt I learned the importance of sparing, and that even if you come from another martial art you are a beginner when starting a new
Do you wear a cup/jockstrap while sparring (kickboxing/mma sparring) I’ve gotten kicked in the groin by accident a couple times it’s not fun, what’s your opinion on it?
I've got a question for anyone that can answer? First off I'd like to say I'm a big fan of Ramsey, I enjoy watching his techniques, and especially enjoy his commentary videos. Very impressive person, with a great mindset. My question is does anyone have any footage of Ramsey demonstrating his ability in a competition fight? I know he's practiced many disciplines and has taken part in many different events. I've just introduced my friend to his channel and we tried to find footage of his fights, however the only results we could find is some guy that clearly hates on Ramsey and comments on his lost fights. I understand that this may not be a particularly important question to raise, and I'd like to stress I'm not trying to wind anyone up, or question Ramsey's talent. I'm just fascinated and hoping someone can point me in the right direction! Nuff respect @RamseyDewey
I only have a few short video clips of a few of my old fights. To my knowledge, only two of my MMA fights, and two of my kickboxing matches are available on the internet (sadly, none of the good ones) I did 17 pro MMA fights (only 7 are recorded on Sherdog) and 18 pro kickboxing matches (including Muay Thai, sanda, K1, and American kickboxing) I did not own a camera back then. Occasionally people would send me video clips. Literally every one of those clips is viewable in the intro video of my channel. That being said, I don’t like to dwell on the past, because 41 year old me would beat the crap out of 20-30 something year old me any day.

But with something like a teep where I'm not really turning my hips, I can't get it turned right without feeling like I'm going to hurt myself and I feel off balance. I've tried turning my hips to compensate, but that just feels really awkward.
Is there another kick or something you can suggest that I could use in place of the teep, that would have the same effect?
Thanks!
Ok, I have my first question for the coach! In this video, before you throw the push kick, you are completely square with your opponent. That works for the opponent, because, as you say, he can kick you back or throw a punch at you. But what if you are NOT squared up? Please refer to the KarateNerd video with Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace. Could Bill's technique work in MMA? He keeps his side to the opponent (smaller target), and as he ducks away from a punch he sneaks in a sidekick simultaneously. (I understand Bill has a Judo background, and maybe he could get away with it in a cage fight)
Ah, the pros and cons of a side stance. There’s a lot to discuss there. That’s a show, not tell kind of video. Stay tuned.
What was the video on combos? Because I'm always trying to learn new combos but maybe I'm over complicating things.

Question. I find making push kick, from closer distance, by twisting toes out landing with heel. Also the higher i put knee the better. Question is could i use it in context of vid?
Intro is so good
Thanks!
My Muay Thai teacher literally focuses on positioning. The Roundhouse+Teep is his favorite combination
I love the teep!
This is gold
I feel like most people are woefully under-utilizing the teep. More people need to study Smart Payakaroon. He was very skilled though there's no footage of him in his prime he was still pretty good since he had build insane fight IQ to adapt his style to smaller lungs. He utilized the teep like boxers utilized their jab and was able to adjust his kick into different kicks (side teep, inverse round kick, etc) much like boxers can adjust their jabs into hooks, uppercuts, body shots, etc. I think legs are definitely underutilized by most people (at least those I've seen). Also just think about how effective leg kicks have been in MMA. Almost every time I see them they do amazing damage. Now imagine that these fighters have the ability to turn those into head kicks, teeps, etc at will.
The one were you punch 1, 2 and use the same rotation for the kick and then teep... I udually did the dame combo in soo bahk do but imstead of a teep i did a side kick with the same leg i judt kicked... It has less power, but it wins points and points are howntou win in soo bahk do
Is my speaker dying or is the audio worse than usual?

Hey Coach, this might be a question for a Q&A. What do you think of fighters using a half guard game in mma? Should they scramble to get standing or else get full guard, or can half-guard work in mma with strikes threatened from the top?
Half guard is a transitional position. It’s not somewhere you want to camp out in an MMA fight or even in a BJJ tournament. You use that position to advance position, to improve position, to get up, to sweep, or to set up a submission. If you’re not doing any of those things, it’s not half guard, it’s what wrestlers call a Turk- which is a pin in wrestling, and a beat down position in MMA.
11:29 jesus christ, and you make your own music amazing music as well!?
You're a wise man (who does amazing podcasts that speak stone cold truth), world class martial artist (who makes amazing videos like these), fighter (who can beat up at least 90% of the world [including me]), AND musician (who composes amazing soundtracks)!
Hey ramsey whats the best way to get your first few amateur fights in mma and how do you go pro like in one or bellator
Ramsey's leg reach is insane...
Hey Ramsey, just wondering, as far as technical strikers in MMA for a relative beginner to study, do you have any recommendations? Thank you!
I have a question, it be cool if you answer this
If a heavy weight person punch but the speed it slow as a not train person punch and a light weight person punch but the speed it like Bruce lee
Who punch harder? Or take more damage (SpeedOrWeight)
That depends on how good their body mechanics are. You can move your arms really fast in a punching motion with zero power behind it. Or, if you use correct punching mechanics, you can strike with devastating force with much less speed. There are a number of other variables in that equation.
Better yet make it a hop-in teep. Better distancing. Cool on making him think you are throwing more than he is.
i like the music did you make it ?
Yep
my gym opend today and we did teeps
Matt Hughes is a great Martial artist He has some highlight reel Kos including Royce Gracie, BJ Penn and his wife and brother
I live a few miles from Matt Hughes. You're aware that he could still pull your arms off and fuck you with them, no?
Train brain, or no train brain, Matt Hughes could probably kill like....everyone in the comment section.
Do you have to use the teep with the left leg only? Or it depends on if your right dominate? Great content btw! Keep up the awesome work!
As a follow up to a right leg kick, yes. For an orthodox fighter, most of your teeps will be thrown with the lead- especially when counter striking. However, there are moments where a right push kick comes into play. But understand that the rear leaf takes considerably longer to reach its target than the lead leg (roughly 3 times as much time) which makes the lead the far superior intercepting tool.
I do it the first thing , cause i want to set the distance , right for me , and see how straight forward he is
Hey coach if I am blind in my left eye and I’m right handed should I box in southpaw?
Try it both ways and see what happens. I have a blind spot in my left eye, but I can still see motion through my peripherals, and I usually box orthodox.
So it's similar to classic textbook boxing. Always finishing your combo woth a jab or a left hook for defense.
These are quality
wow, streamlined content presentation! background music use... stuff is coming along nicely!
A side kick will work as well, and will also create distance and a profile.
Different set up and context though
Question about terminology. Is a teep a push front kick, and do you always use the front ball of the foot like you did in the video or do you sometimes use the whole flat of the foot aka “Sparta kick?”
I was taught that if you want it to be more like a stinging jab, you use the ball of the foot, but if you wanna use it like a stiff jab for maximum push, you use the whole flat of the foot
@@mist2622 That makes sense, thanks for answering!
A heel kick like the “Sparta kick” is a different technique with different applications. For the teep, use the ball of the foot.
@@RamseyDewey Ahhh ok, thanks! I was just curious because I had never heard the term "teep" before.
Ah yes. The teep. Also known as the P-P-P-PUSH KICK! *Plays Godzillarex Push kick montage.*
Can you show the video that mentions your thought on combinations?
That was 2 videos ago.
My internet connection is not working well enough to pull up a link.
@@RamseyDewey it's alright Coach! I'll look it up. I like doing teeps in training and your idea behind it made so much sense so I wanted to look up you explaining it more.
I'll practice this and the footwork first thing in the morning!
finally thanks for saying that combos are bull shit. they are inly good for learning how to transfer from a hook to cross and to uppercut as fast as one can thats it.
What are some things you learned as a white-belt vs things you learned as a black-belt? As a white belt I learned the importance of sparing, and that even if you come from another martial art you are a beginner when starting a new
Do you wear a cup/jockstrap while sparring (kickboxing/mma sparring) I’ve gotten kicked in the groin by accident a couple times it’s not fun, what’s your opinion on it?
Always wear a cup when you spar. No exceptions. Why wouldn’t you?
Ramsey Dewey good point
You have to condition your testicles
When you say falling step, are you talking about the same thing Dempsey is?
Yep
I've got a question for anyone that can answer? First off I'd like to say I'm a big fan of Ramsey, I enjoy watching his techniques, and especially enjoy his commentary videos. Very impressive person, with a great mindset. My question is does anyone have any footage of Ramsey demonstrating his ability in a competition fight? I know he's practiced many disciplines and has taken part in many different events. I've just introduced my friend to his channel and we tried to find footage of his fights, however the only results we could find is some guy that clearly hates on Ramsey and comments on his lost fights. I understand that this may not be a particularly important question to raise, and I'd like to stress I'm not trying to wind anyone up, or question Ramsey's talent. I'm just fascinated and hoping someone can point me in the right direction! Nuff respect @RamseyDewey
I only have a few short video clips of a few of my old fights. To my knowledge, only two of my MMA fights, and two of my kickboxing matches are available on the internet (sadly, none of the good ones) I did 17 pro MMA fights (only 7 are recorded on Sherdog) and 18 pro kickboxing matches (including Muay Thai, sanda, K1, and American kickboxing) I did not own a camera back then. Occasionally people would send me video clips. Literally every one of those clips is viewable in the intro video of my channel.
That being said, I don’t like to dwell on the past, because 41 year old me would beat the crap out of 20-30 something year old me any day.
I was thinking to myself that gym sure does have lots of bags......and then i realized those were mirrors.....lol
You could also throw a head kick off the Teep when the opponent tries to retake the space.
I think you can replace teep with a side kick to the body too.
Cool Intro
Dewey for Mortal Kombat DLC.
While sparring today, I tried one of those low Mortal Kombat spinning sweep kicks, and my sparring partner fell on top of me. It was hilarious.
Best time to teep.....
.... all the time.
Nice intro
🤔Hmm! your fighting style reminds me of mine. we have very similar beliefs.
To teep or not to teep, that is the question.
