It was a great day for @siggylove as we move to the #dangerzone and bring up her #firestarter powers 🔥🔥🔥 #ontariotopteambrazilianjiujitsuandmuaythai #globalmartialartsacademy #muaythailife #muaythaijourney (at Global Martial Arts Academy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Q5uWeHnn5/?igshid=11koozpdmaqe1

Using basic skills of #jab and #cross with a stiff arm frame or a stiff distance holding Jab one can suddenly release the tension and throw a short powerful #rightcross or a #elbowstrike . Using a combination of boxing evasion skills such as #weaving #bobbing #slipping #dipping and rolling along with sudden frames or barriers placed between an attacker can be highly successful in a rushed or suddenly cramped position. I myself over the last 30 years have stiff armed people into a waiting jaw dropping slap to the ear and neck, and elbows. I avoid punching in security as much as possible preferring the camera friendly palms up non aggressive posture. The elbow doubles as a body dropper when there are multiple people involved and one must dispatch as quickly as possible. Training the scenario, simulating emotion,anger and language is very important part of translating or importing skills learned in the ring to real life scenarios. Sometimes even trained fighters like to get in the mood or warm up . This way you train with the same deadly skills , just in a scenario that does not include the ring , cage or mat rules. #Selfdefense #selfprotection #realitybased #selfdefense #combatives #combattraining are all words I used to describe the setting not the actual concepts and techniques used. It’s a painful admission after putting so much work into combative names and systems to realize that it’s boxing, muaythai, wrestling , JiuJitsu , BJJ and weapon use/retention . So really when it comes to learning how to punch I would seek a boxing coach or a skilled boxer, as I would for each of the combat sports mentioned above. Otherwise one will simply learn a very limited version all mixed together that is not effective because it has not been tested properly. If one wants to defend against a single, double or tackle one does not go to a boxer, one goes to a wrestler , or a high level grappler. Just as one goes to a boxer or Muay Thai expert to develop defense and counter strikes as opposed to the wrestler . https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbY_X1hliG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18fvpni6lj5jv
