A technique tribute to Lyoto Machida in his bout against Rich Franklin. Forgot that it's the first time I witnessed a front-kick lead to a finish! Спорт
Being from a Shotokan background and watching Machida, it looks like kickboxers actually believe his stance is magically pushing and pulling them here and there. I remember feeling kinda that way, first few times of sparring, and I had been practicing katas and drills for a few months. These guys had no idea how to understand Machida at first, lol.
Great breakdown. Also, I would like to add that Lyota utilizes many different "traditional" stances when he is fighting. I see front stance, horse stance, etc. I think that this is one fighter that proves that traditional martial arts are useful in a real fight situation.
You mean... Zenkutsu Dachi, Kiba Dachi and other ones?
Machida was the best light heavyweight fighter in the world until 2009.
yup, TMA can be utilized in mma.. it's all about the training..
Lyoto is a master-class fighter. Still, there are people who says shit about him. He is great.
When he started UFC he was unstoppable. Showed what traditional shotokan karate is about. People tend to value only the kyokushin for its aggressiveness, but true shotokan is strong a martial art. Timing(tainosen, senosen, gonosen), distance control (maai), fast attacks and no telegraphing.
Machida is simply awesome
Its just karaté
@@MegaRastaman it's just karate...... that won him a world title and a professional record of like 26 and 8 lol
I like the music, very fitting in a haunting way.
Brilliant analysis Mr. Kenshin. Keep doing what your doing and you'll inspire others just as Jack has inspired you!
Thank you man, your feedback made my day.
this is literally a clinic wow FAVORITED, LIKED, THANK YOU! great content
Thx =)
+Lawrence Kenshin I would like to see some Jon Jones breakdowns. Is it possible allegating that the content is for critics and review and not a copyright stealing content?
Agreed. Very informative. Allows me to appreciate the intelligence and learning that happens during the fight. Thank you.
The left hand at 3:24 made him partially drop his hands. At that point he was already hurt. He then pushed him into the ropes. The kick made him completely drop his hands, but it was the left cross at 3:30 after the kick that knocked Franklin out. It was the kick that set that up.
I thought of the same thing.. The front kick was blocked by franklin's right hand.
The front kick is very under appreciated because of its simplicity!. Yet the same simplicity makes it very effective. That being said, I must say that even karatekas are not using it properly at times they could have. Machida is a genius, I never get tired of watching his fights. Thank you for sharing this bro🙏🙏❤❤
This is a testament to how talented Lyoto really is. Franklin was "elite" a bit later on, and Lyoto was able to predict him and read him like a book. The guy has been doing this for so long that he understands technique unlike anybody else at the time could. Franklin couldnt anticipate anything Lyoto was doing.
Stumbled upon your Excellent analysis videos..........Great stuff!
+don charles thank you brother
What is the name of the song?
Hang Ups (Want You) - Otis McDonald
+Robi B. Thanks dude!
nice original responce 10/10 would rate again
Love Lyoto Machida, he's got the best reaction time in my opinion.
Good job with the technical slow motion. Learning by watching this is great!
man allot of work went into this.. great job.
Great vid Lawrence, you know your stuff. Sometimes watching mma it makes me laugh when the crowd boo, they don't see the game of chess combat sports really is, at the top level.
Kungfoo Joey more often then not when you get two "bangers" it is because they don't have the skill level of a top fighter. I never really viewed the "Bonner" / "Griffin" fight as two great fighters fighting but two guys with a lot of heart and lack of skill (top skill) ...
Nicholas NJ I totally agree mate, its got to the point in the modern game that a fighter can completely shut down his opponent without making a move! He just lets him know he sees everything so he cant throw anything! The next level is rare and heart can still win fights, it just wont get you to the big show anymore.
Kungfoo Joey disagree, Shayna Baszler has no heart and she's fought multiple times on the "big show". now a days you don't even need heart and you can make it into the UFC depending on what division you fight in.
thank you for explaining what is actually going on! so much more illuminating and enlightening! thanks again!
I know that you'll probably never see this, but thank you. I'm an author trying to do realistic fight scenes, and since I'm not a fighter myself, it's been hard. Your analysis videos help out so much. I learn about what people do wrong, right, and gain some insight into how a fighter might analyze their opponent all at once. I can do it visually, with your annotations helping to explain far better than someone dubbing over it can, which lets me find my own words to describe it. Thank you so much for your efforts.
You have a great eye for fighting behaviour and strategy Lawrence. Superb video of one of my favourite fighters. Keep up the good work
Wow, great analyses and insights, thanks for this upload!
Superb breakdown, How I miss that elusive Machida
Nice breakdown. Solid editing and great music choice. Keep it up!
Oh man, wow. I didn't even know this existed. Great video. Love technique breakdowns like this.
My all time favorite "Lyoto Machida."
Thanks a lot for all the work you put in to the explanations. Now I really understand the hype about this guy
very good video and analysis. You showed how brain is used in a fight, to learn and anticipate movements. Very well
Very nice breakdown Lawrence. I miss this Lyoto.
Um, GREAT video and break down, thank you. I love Machida. I'd like to see him as champion again.
Excellent point-by-point assessment. Subscribed
Awesome vid dude! Learned a lot watching this!
The analytical value to this video is amazing.
Well done.
Cheers :)
Lawrence Kenshin
Welcome. Genuinely.
Excellent breakdown. Subscribed!
Very good breakdown props to you
Wow please do more of these.
I land a LOT of front kick and sidekick in light sparr (mma rules), especially if the did not know my background in TMA(tradisional MA) because they are simply not expecting it.. Muaythai push kick is very different with a good mai geri.. Mine had much faster speed, tighter distance and sharper impact than their push kick..
True. Mae Geri is a strike.
That because a lot of mma fighters don't know how to setup a good muay thai teep kick.
Thanks for this great analysis! Subscribed!
Great work!
I can see Lyoto moving,slipping throwing feints/countering,trips,pushing off when tied up in the clinch via Sumo against Weidman. His Shotokan Karate footwork angles entrees exits are some of the best ever in MMA. The most unique in my opinion. He has life long Shotokan Karate experience under his father. Weidman is a beast forsure not taking anything away, But,Lyoto is a totally different fight than Anderson. Hes been fighting bigger 205er's for most of his career. His skill's against wrestler based fighter's are proven in the octagon. Chris isnt gonna surprise him with wrestling. Lyoto's striking is even more unique than Anderson's. That shotokan footwork is so hard to catch up to. Its like now you see me now you don't,cann't touch this. Cann't wait for this fight.
Very good calling of this fight. well done
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Thanks for your knowledge sir !
Man I have never seen this one. Franklin really did have a tendency to lean forward and drop his head back then. Good video.
Great video!
Man, you're awesome. Thank you so much for this video... I feel so bad now for not attending my Shotokan classes today... XD
Thanks for the breakdown. For a non fighter it's great to see the science!
I love this style of fighting, it's so unorthodox and in combination with south paw it really makes it hard for the opponent to adjust to your style even if they have been training for it.
Southpaw is great for stopping takedowns especially when the guy you are versing is a much bigger person than you.
To me it is mostly orthodox ...
He's back!
great video. great fighter. thanks.
Do more of these.
Love your videos !!! more videos like this please :D
Working on it!
+Lawrence Kenshin Cool vid what's the name of the song?
You should make more vids like this.
So good.
nice video, loved rich
Love this music, great video unlocking why Lyoto is so damn dangerous.
Hang Ups (Want You) - Otis McDonald
nice breakdown..
Very good video
Videos like these make you remember how brilliant Lyoto Machida was. Now he should just retire so he doesn't make fans any more sad.
Or just give him fights vs guys not in the top 5, but Lyoto will never rise to challenge for the title again.
Good analysis
way before anderson silva vs vitor belfort
Also way before Steven Seagal came along and said "hey gaiz! Check out this NEW KICK I came up with!"
Giant Just imagined a caveman shoving the ball of his foot into a mammoth's throat.
Lol. True, an aikido practitioner taught a 3rd dan karate master how to do the mae tobi geri/jumping front kick (=green belt level). Funny :)
That was not a front kick that was more a push kick/teep to the face
Two of my favorite fighters, one of the only things that makes seeing one get beaten a little easier.
While we're at it, it's nice to see a ref who keeps on top of it
sharp insight
Mae geri 👍
thank god,listening to people say "front kick" is really anoying for a karateka
Nice. Totally earned a sub.
all that comes to my head is WOW!
More lyoto! :)
Lyoto was straight up bad ass!
this is gold
That got my juices flowing
Good vid and original music choice. Liked.
Hang Ups (Want You) - Otis McDonald
epic martial arts clip.
Amazing fighter my idol
It was not the front kick (Mae Geri) that knocked out the opponent but the short left hook that twisted the neck a moment later. Play it back frame by frame and you might see why I posted this comment.
Very nice :) Well done :D
I'd like to see some front kicks off the front leg. Great defence/counter against sweeps and almost anything.

Lawrence Kenshin Love the explanations of kicks, punches, telegraphs, openings etc . Thanks.
Can you please tell me the name of the song?
+Lawrence Kenshin What is the song for fucks sake. I've been looking forever
+The Anti-social-Socialist same here, it's not Sandstorm as some have suggested in other posts.
+Lawrence Kenshin Thanks. Name of song please ?
Those arrows surely remind me of drawing Free Body Diagrams in my Statics class.
Thanks, we hardly notice those errors at the heat of fighting.
Awesome! すごい!
Rich Franklin always eats the best kicks in the business
Machida is my favorite fighter but he has one flaw in his game .... As Lyoto dived in to counter the kick with his rear hand, his lead hand was low - and John Jones, being in the same stance, was able to connect a rear, left hook through the gap. (which set up Jones winning Choke as the Punch stunned Lyoto Machida). This is (was ) the one flaw in Machida's game that Jones the 1st to truely exploit. (from a Judo Chop Article) ...In a Kata such as Jion with three rapid fire punches (actually 1 punch pause 2 Punches) I pull the non punching hand to the Jaw, one can Grab and still pull the Opponent in if the opportunity arises and/or if the situations demands.
I've never heard of Jion kata; Is it karate?
OriginalRipndip Yes this is Karate - Shotokan.
Someone plz tell me the name of the song
Hang Ups (Want You) - Otis McDonald
Thanks for
Post
That front kick was brutal.
Most kids who grew up in our neighborhood... went for karate and judo classes.. it was what we did.
Front kick, and reverse punch. The staple of karate.
this is actually a good video.
Lyoto...what a problem when he came on the scene!! I'll never forget him making Tito look like he had no skills!! Always watch him fight as he is a world class striker and a pure martial artist and the respect that comes with it!💯👍👍👀
That straight left was a thing of beauty.
Indeed.
Holy shit this was fucking awesome man well done. You would have made mr slack proud I'm sure.
He did like this one =P. To be precise, he said "Lovely work!" haha. Cheers buddy.
Defence is so beautiful; I would rather be a master at Defence than offence--but I am on the road, to mastering them both
ok
I'm trying to master ripping someones scrotum completely off, strictly for the streets of course.
Sad :)
Wow you are very humble and don't sound arrogant at all!
I don't care about your opinion
Lyoto Sensei. Mae geri. Oss!
Thats crazy, it doesnt look like Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. Maybe because the video quality is so bad? Nice vid though. You are very good at breaking down fights.
Lyoto had a shaved head during his time in Japan. Also learned rasslin' at NJPW's gyms during that time. He was younger and plumper then, when weight classes were a foggy notion.
Its his early days.
There was a good fight years ago between Yushin Okami vs Chael Sonnen. In my opinion Sonnen used a style quite different comparing to his typical fighting strategy. Would you please check that fight style and make a video explaining about it? Sonnen was kicking and punching too many times using his lead hand and foot. I guess that many Jeet kune do fans would enjoy.
I love how many subscribers you have i work hard but i dont have as many as you do
ty
Lyoto é foda mesmo
love this music. name?

Hi bro.........If you wanna see some good instances of this front snap kick, besides the ones you probably know, that Jack Slack has posted( Semmy Schilt, Kikuno and Daron Cruickshank), you can watch Ryu Narushima fights(see his highlights)........He already knocked out lots of people in kyokushin matches with frontal snap kicks..........Theres also Joe Son vs Nobuaki Kakuda, where Kakuda, a karate fighter used a frontal snap kick during the finish............
thanks bro!great fights!
lee supra Theres also Dong Hyun Kim jumping front kick that you can find on youtube, Steven Lopez ko with a front kick.........But if you wanna see some really good frontal snap kicks, look for Katsunori Kikuno.........He uses it really well.........
lee supra Also, Travis Browne vs Alistair Overeem, and of course, Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort..............
lee supra And, Cory Tait vs Gambatesa............
krug stillo what a cool staff!
What's the Ost?
The great dragon
Bas Ruttens front kicks were inevitable and unstoppable.
