I love finding unique footwork applications. This one was a self discovery... I didn't realize I was doing it until teaching a move in class and a student pointed out that I wasn't doing the footwork I said to do. We had to reverse engineer what I was actually doing and this came out of it. Once we realized what it was, the applications started to come out of the woodwork without even trying to find them. My students often teach me the best stuff! If there are any other aspects of footwork that you were curious about, let us know here in the comments and I will get to it!
this's foot work is the goal for shorter wingspan fighter , I've been never seen before is super fast and can use into any combo , including strike to takedown thz coach greg , i come from hong kong , hope can watch more video
I hope nobody in my gym finds your channel. Haha jk, but seriously this channel is full of gems and might be one the best out there, thank you sincerely for sharing your knowledge.
I have a question, I love this technique but I find whenever I try to utilize some of these different techniques people don't sit in their stance and take the shots they throw the jab or check hook as im coming in fast, is there a method to avoid that? Is my head movement just not good enough? Or do I just eat it and keep moving.
@@foyz8303 Great question. This footwork is great for keeping up with somebody who starts to run every time you initiate an attack. I would establish that their reaction is to back away from aggression before using the move. If you establish that they're going to bite their mouth guard and swing on you, I would simply try another technique. Definitely don't just eat a shot and keep going. The only time it makes sense to do that is if you completely disrespect their power or you're in a situation where the only way to win is to get a knockout. Feel free to ask for more clarity if I didn't quite answer your question or if you have a follow-up question.
@@martialartsunlimitedvictoriaThank you very much! I would love to see both. Wow, really appreciate your reply and would really look forward to see your videos! Great videos btw. Subscribed your channel already.
The problem in fighting taller fighters is once you try to approach they taller fighter roasts you with intercepting jabs. They will not passively watch you cover distance and move back like in this demo most of the time... I like to bait their jab out with a feint and once its out you can cover distance when they are retracting the jab...have to be quick though
There are situations where people will sit, parry, and move back without intercepting jabs that are tall. Go watch a Remy Bonjasky fight. Moves straight back with no jabs which is perfect for this technique. It is not all black and white!
Im train muay thai already 3 month, but in sparring session idk why i cant reach the opponent to land punch or kick. Im really thank you with this video. And my question is, can i used this "bounce step" every i want landing the punch,kick or combo? Or u have any tips again? Sorry for my bad English 😅
@@deskashadow452 sorry I missed this question until now! There are many uses for the bounce step. We're recording again today and I'll make sure to cover this a bit.

I helped him with a couple of the lessons, yes. I've had the good fortune to be a training and sparring partner with him over the years. You've never met a more disciplined person, haha.
That sounds like a good alternate name for it. As I'm sure you've experienced, you can find the same move from five different coaches each with their own name for the move, haha. If "gallup step" is what you're used to thinking about it as, go with that and then just take the application from the video and make it your own. Come back and let us if you were able to make it work!
@@martialartsunlimitedvictoria Yes! Every gym has his own jargon 🙂 Like one gym calling leg kick "low kick" , push kick and "maygeri" and ect'. You give a great techniques i really love it! It's first time i came across your channel please create more videos thank you!🙏
This is just like crab stepping, what Bruce lee always did, they say you're not meant to bring your feet together! I guess rules are made to be broken.
It's pretty common for five different instructors to call the same move five different things, haha. Regarding bringing your feet together or not, I consider that a matter of appropriating the length of your steps to account for the distance you need to cover. More distance, bigger steps. Less distance, smaller steps. "Always" and "never" are really tough words in this sport. 😉
@@Nobody12546 it should work exactly the same for a southpaw or for somebody facing a southpaw. This technique is simply about covering ground. The targets available to you are slightly different in an open stance matchup but that's up to you to figure out how to take advantage of. Is there a specific reason for your concern or a certain situation that you have a question about?
@@martialartsunlimitedvictoria when i first started learning martial mostly boxing with my brother at like 5 years old i didn’t have a trainer just movies (bruce lee) and RUclips so i just lead with my right hand cause it felt right (im right handed) this lack of knowledge went on to be a bit of a problem learning orthodox techniques not knowing im fighting southpaw but when i started learning mauythai on my own it was like opening a locked door since when i joined a mma gym i was taught the difference between orthodox and southpaw now for me learning techniques both ways is a fun way for me to practice since i can fight both sides now. Thanks for the feedback
bro you just open my mind to footwork

Fr bro
As a short fighter I’m always looking for the fastest way to close as much distance as possible. This is perfect thank you
this's foot work is the goal for shorter wingspan fighter , I've been never seen before
is super fast and can use into any combo , including strike to takedown
thz coach greg , i come from hong kong , hope can watch more video
I'm also in HK, I have my 2nd amateur fight next month (Kickboxing)
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you, as a shorter fighter this will be very usefull to add to the bag of 'closing' techniques that dont rely on a blitz!
This movement has been very good to me over the years! Hopefully it works as well for you. 🙏
Beautiful technique, amazing tips, thanks for the masterclass.🤜🏼👏
Oh yeah. I'm definitely using this 😂.

Can you do a tutorial about cross or rear straight punch? That will be fantastic!
Added to the list. Are you asking about strict form or ways to land it?

Recording today and I'm doing a video on the cross for you! It should be uploaded soon.

That's precisely why he's throwing a faint as soon as the feet start moving. Watch closely.

Basic karate footwork minis that over exaggerated initial step.
I often say that it's pretty hard to come up with anything new, lol. The best we can say is that we haven't seen it before.
