MMA Basics: Blocks

MMA Basics: Blocks
MMA has a unique style of blocking. The Boxing gloves in other combat sports can be used to cover holes in the guard that would be exposed without the larger gloves. This is the case in MMA gloves or without gloves at all.
Use these blocks to close some of those gaps.

That’s not a parry that’s a catch

[@resoluteboxing]

They're interchangeable

[@ephbombmadeit]

@@resoluteboxing parrying is moving someones direction of their punch. so if their going for a jab its parrying it away from you. where this is catching your just stopping the punch, not redirecting it.

[@El_Andru]

@@ephbombmadeit We know, but think again they are interchangeable.
To parry you must catch first, to avoid swatting motion and leaving you unprotected.
Speaking from experience lol.

[@ephbombmadeit]

@@El_Andru then every parry would be called a catch?

[@Ghost_2086]

That’s what I’m saying😂

To be fair the dutch guard has been seen used effectively in MMA.

[@pangopod2969]

But i see why you would not teach it to beginers

[@giovelazquez8872]

@@pangopod2969What Dutch guard?

[@giovelazquez8872]

There’s no Dutch guard here

[@pangopod2969]

@@giovelazquez8872 Yes that's what i'm saying

What gloves are those? And where did you get them?

[@shabinga]

CombatCorner mma gloves bro they’re amazing for sparring and are very comfortable

Cualquier forma que impida que te peguen es la correcta

Nice one, professor

Liver be like hi there over here😂😂💯

[@Liminy_snickers]

Parrying is completely fine as long as you’re not overreacting like you showed or using your lead hand

[@fivekilz-nathan349]

How do I protect my body then? I know you say drop one hand slightly but that leaves the other side of your body open for kicks and punches how do you get round it.

[@dannyhuynh7998]

You can take the punch

[@salehabegum8664]

Stepping back could be useful sometimes

[@dannyhuynh7998]

@@salehabegum8664 what about abs

[@ephbombmadeit]

honestly not much you can do other then move out of the way. if you try to block low they will strike high. might as well block your face. keep distance and you dont have to worry about it too much. if they close the distance control their arms and clinch.

[@dannyhuynh7998]

@@ephbombmadeit but what about abs

[@WARLOBO]

That’s not how you parry. You flick your wrist without swatting to make the punch go to a different direction.

[@Aurelius381]

My bad habit is in parrying

[@epul619]

I think muay thai block more effective right ?

[@AxaFin]

this is a confusing comment

[@borgy7085]

Wich one, there are many...

[@salehabegum8664]

Your body is still exposed tho

[@shanebodnar9861]

You can’t block everything at once

[@daniellozan350]

Well gotta eat them punches then 😅😅😁😁

[@shanebodnar9861]

@@daniellozan350 don’t do mma if ur scared of getting hit 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@naeemtull2026]

It's mma not boxing if you don't move tf out the way lol😅

[@dbbdbdbdbd599]

You are still exposing you body bro. Also in a street fight without gloves you got to close the guard in order to catch the fist other wise it will slip through, i prefer practicing it this way so it becomes muscle memory am training for fighting not for playing fight

[@ΓιωργοςΔημητριου-ζ9ι]

Am a bigginer but pareying just doesnt work. Even in drills where ghe opp go light sometimes punches still go through and in. Astreet fight fists are small target going very fast. Try purrying a punch from francis ngannou or miketyson

[@shushhhl6597]

ur a beginner for a reason 😂😂😂

[@gullyblanchard5750]

Parrying doesn’t work when you obviously don’t know what you’re doing. Practice more. You need to work on timing.

[@user-qn6fw8fg4b]

Hey kid you are still exposed to the body because you are standing totally upright, curve your body so you can block head and body at the same time, maybe learn this before making vids
