The reason I though he’d lose to Rodriguez is because if you watch all of his fights he fundamentally defends head kicks wrong it’s crazy to think a fighter on his level is constantly doing the wrong action to defend head kicks Rodriguez even landed some head kicks max dropped him with a head kick he just has a crazy chin but Islam has got different power I called he’d get kod with the head kick
@@carlo.demichelis people always making excuses for their favourite fighters why isn’t Islam getting dropped by head kicks huh cause his defence is great I love volk but he has a weakness against head kicks and to deny that is just you being bias and not knowing the sport being dropped by max by head kick Rodriguez landed multiple headkicks the only difference between them and Islam is Islam had much more power and can finish volk he’s been like this his whole career he literally only uses one fucking arm to defend head kicks that’s one of the first things they’ll teach you not to do I’m kickboxing
@@bryant8647 block with an elbow or knee, move in and counter, move left and catch, kick the standing leg, any of these. There's quite a few alternatives than just taking the hit on the flesh. It's the same reason taking the hit on the thigh is undesirable, do you think your fore arm muscle is tougher than your thigh?
In Muay Thai I got taught to bring my knee up and out it into the inside of my elbow while keeling my hands up by my face, it blocks the body kick and keeps your hands up ready to punch
Thank you algorithm for teaching me that Natan Levy has a TH-cam channel, instant subscribe. Guys fighting style reminds me of the violent era of the UFC. Win or lose this guy is always fun to watch.
When I use this block I don't normally eat on my forearms like he is teaching. I catch the shin in the palm of my hand. It saves my arms and is great at not eating that impact from the kick
you are on to something. ideally you dont want to block body kicks if you can parry. pulling the hips or stepping back in order to parry with the opposite hand is ideal. this allows you to defend and counter quickly. next is avoiding the kick entirely by moving out the way, usually stepping back. *next in priority* is blocking the kick. the problem with this is, like mr levy points, you need both arms for a strong block, unlike the parry which occupies just one arm and *without* risking its integrity. this is how it works in muay thai. blocking a round kick like this is not ideal. if you find that you are needing to do this often, then you need to drill the step back (keep hands up, chin down, eyes forward), and then add the parry. practice parry on teeps first if necessary then apply to the body kick. now for head kicks you dont really parry. either pull your head back, block the kick which occupied both arms, or, best, manage the space in the first place
but if your inner arm is flush with your body when you being down that elbow, you still feel the pain in the body, not fully obviously, but you will feel it, whereas if you do the exact same thing just flare the elbow out a tad, you can’t feel it anywhere near your stomach area.
There also break your elbow lol,either learn Muay Thai and catch the kicks with a sweep,or move away from the kick,or block it by lifting leg up,taking hits on your arms or elbow will break sooner or later

Volk got ko'd because he only blocked the kick with 1 arm. Volks other arm wasn't on the kick.

Love this method to use several bones to block the kick solid stuff👍
But 4 bones? Which 4? 😅
Careful with this. It may work with pads, but a shin can make your forearm muscles have a very bad day. There's a nerve embedded there to...
What else would he do?

Amazing attention to detail
This was descriptive thank you
This guy is on a 4 fight losing streak in the ufc
Amazing detail, very precise.
Needed this

How to win against your barber
Nicely explained
Great explaining
Bro got the haircut of the character that gets beaten up in every movie
Great instruction. I think it’s just 3 bones though; humerus, ulna, radius
Now he's gonna get this ONE bone
That's actually really cool. I never knew that was a thing.
I needed this info monday afternoon before i incorrectly blocked the hardest kicker in our club
Good explanation! 1 Bodykick to the liver and your done witch sparring for today
With**
More like done with it for the WEEK😂😂a full contact unguarded kick to the liver will put your shit out of tune so fast
Bro got that Cardiac Sensor cut
Woah....actually learned something. Bone thing is new to me.
Natan is legit!
Good way of explaining
also lifting the leg up bent and then disengaging into a side kick works well too. using the arm as well
I’m gonna try this in class
Is that John "Soap" Mactavish from Call Of Duty:Modern Warfare?
This reminds me of Crocop when he use to land the head kick almost on the top of the head
When your opponent attacks you, scream mama.
Remember you have two hands ❤
Great detail but try that in the heat of a fight.
I learned this as "hard ride" vs "soft ride" the first is better than nothing, but not that much better😅
When I use this block I don't normally eat on my forearms like he is teaching. I catch the shin in the palm of my hand. It saves my arms and is great at not eating that impact from the kick
Gonna try this in school 😋
Professional
Brotha thank u 🙏🏻
Actually very smart tho thank you
Soap mctavish off duty lol
Nice advice
I guess Volkanovski saw this video
Toda brother❤
תודה רבה!❤
That's pretty good but the top of the head is still exposed and we have seen guys get dazed and/or KOd by round kicks that graze the top of the head.
draws knee up to elbow,, foot ready for front teep response
Check that kick bro.
I've always been curious why do kick boxers prefer arm blocking over checking?
Raise that shoulder don’t wanna get kicked in the neck
Good stuff
The best to know what techniques that really works in fight....just use it it in fight...
Yeah, I'm subbing
Y’all talking bout his Mohawk but it’s pretty fresh can’t hate just because you don’t see it often
TAEKWONDO DOUBLE KICK 🎉🎉
Or you can lift that free knee up and then use that knee to block body kicks that way your arm could focus on blocking the head
then you get taken down lol
From the river to the sea
I heard its better to take the kick on the blade and not the flat of the forearm and that it snaps easier on the flat (2 bone)
This is how porier got kicked in the head. always trying to do the shell and the head kick went right over it to the temple idk about this
Well he only had one hand up and leaned into the kick if youre base is okay and you do the baseball defense it should absorb the kick well
Thats not how it happened. Poirier also blocked it only with the the back of 1 hand and not with both hands and with the elbow.
you are on to something. ideally you dont want to block body kicks if you can parry. pulling the hips or stepping back in order to parry with the opposite hand is ideal. this allows you to defend and counter quickly. next is avoiding the kick entirely by moving out the way, usually stepping back. *next in priority* is blocking the kick. the problem with this is, like mr levy points, you need both arms for a strong block, unlike the parry which occupies just one arm and *without* risking its integrity. this is how it works in muay thai. blocking a round kick like this is not ideal. if you find that you are needing to do this often, then you need to drill the step back (keep hands up, chin down, eyes forward), and then add the parry. practice parry on teeps first if necessary then apply to the body kick. now for head kicks you dont really parry. either pull your head back, block the kick which occupied both arms, or, best, manage the space in the first place
So if an boxer just adds mma and Muay Thai defense to there style it’s over 💀
I could take this guy on
Nice❤
Tawanchi just broke some guys arm cause of this
Great explanation. There’s one more detail you’re missing. It’s a secret though, I only share in person.
Lemme guess you using your leg to block as well?
@@BeOffendedIdgaf nope - that’d be the more traditional Muay Thai approach
@@marcusgottlieb2307What’s the way then?
@@marcusgottlieb2307 that makes sense, I keep forgetting the difference between the two
Use your other hand too? To decrease the intensity
Highly intelligent
ulna+radius+humerus= 4 bones i guess😂
but if your inner arm is flush with your body when you being down that elbow, you still feel the pain in the body, not fully obviously, but you will feel it, whereas if you do the exact same thing just flare the elbow out a tad, you can’t feel it anywhere near your stomach area.
I focus on movement, instead of blocking. And counters
thank you
Somebody should have sent this to Volk before his fight 😂
Thought that was vitor belfort for a second
Bros at first I thought that was his hand with a strange glove, because of the control. Forgive me bros

So basically in fighting one bad move is pretty much your last.
How Justin (highlight) do head movements in mma ?
Larissa Pacheco got her arm broken in UFG because of this.
tell this ti kiria after tawanchai😂
Now you will break 4 bones
Nothing gives you full Protection and Flexibility of movement As MUAY THAI😊
Thats literally soap, from mw2
where are the 4 bones? i dindt understand that part very much
נתן האלוףף
You want to block body kicks with your elbows, same thing with head kicks. Make them break their foot or shin on your elbow.
There also break your elbow lol,either learn Muay Thai and catch the kicks with a sweep,or move away from the kick,or block it by lifting leg up,taking hits on your arms or elbow will break sooner or later
@@jamesmiles1328 not if you use the correct part but you gottah have precise speed and timing
there are 2 bones that spin in the lower arm
Wow Natan you have your own gym?😮 BEHATSLAHA!!!

Muay thai enters the fight
This might be chuck liddel
Or you can lift the knee meeting your elbow, to defend
What if he goes teep to face while you blocking like that?
BJ Penn looks way different these days.
I don't want to seem pedantic, but it'd just be easier to do a high check.
Still can't protect him from crying over opinions that don't favor his tribe.
th-cam.com/users/shortsQ3CEdsISbBQ?si=SsyZgwLDJMjGOzez
He shreiks out as he stabs you.
What ever happened to blocking body kicks with the shin? I guess it's more prevelent in kickboxing.
Meanwhile Muey Thai fighter
you actually got two bones in your forearm ;D
And when you turn your hand so it’s facing down, the two bones touch each other! 😮
Exactly what he said in the video good job
