MMA Beginner Series: Slipping Punches

Gary Berger — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 15:30:01 +0000

Slipping punches is in my opinion the ideal way to counter punches. You absorb no damage whatsoever from your opponent, and you put yourself in the best position to counter strike with power.

As a general rule of thumb, we look to slip on the outside of straight punches, keeping us aware from the free hand of the opponent. Which ever side we slip to, we will have our hips “cocked” to fire a power punch on that side.

For looping punches like a hook or an overhand right, we use the bob and weave. It starts off like a slip moving away from the punch, followed by ducking underneath and swinging back towards the punch (but still under). This also allows you to get a power punch on the way out.

Furthermore, you could also slip and punch simultaneously, returning the same punch your opponent is throwing at you, which can be very effective too.

MMA Beginner Series: Punch Blocking and Parrying

Gary Berger — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:30:05 +0000

After learning the basic punches, the next step is learning how to defend them. I go over the easiest defenses first, but just know these are not the best way to defend them.

Blocking for me is a last resort defense when you have failed to parry or slip a punch. Parrying is a better alternative, although it doesn’t give you a great window to counter attack with, it’s better than blocking.

When blocking, we shouldn’t just shell up like a turtle and expect to be safe behind our guard. Especially in MMA, a guard can easily be penetrated if it stays up for too long. Think of your guard like in a video guard that has a shield meter. It can only absorb a few hits before real damage starts to kick in. When using a block, ideally we would strike out of that block to put our opponent on the defensive.

Parrying is better, because you are not absorbing strikes, and there is an opportunity to counter strike. Like blocking, if all you are doing is parrying and not returning fire, eventually your opponent will sneak in a strike you didn’t read and put you in danger.

One important note about parrying – don’t reach for punches or paw them down too much. If you catch a jab but push it all the way down to your hip, you have now opened up your guard considerably, where a crafty opponent can strike again before you recover, or fake a strike to make you over commit to parrying. Likewise, if you are reaching for punches that are not going to hit you, they can set you up nicely.

MMA Beginner Series: The Jab

Gary Berger — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 15:30:11 +0000

The Jab is the first strike that an aspiring martial artist should learn. For beginners, I want them to understand the analogy of using a jab like you would a whip. You must be relaxed and loose, and whip out that jab quickly and return just as quick to your guard.

Often, newcomers to the fight world get very tense and stiff, and try to force power like they would by pushing a heavy object. This is a very different application of force. Just look at the best strikers in MMA, such as Anderson Silva and Israel Adesanya. They are not bulking brutes, rather the opposite. Long, flexible, and loose. Their power comes from striking like a whip.

Slipped Jab to Double

Gary Berger — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 15:30:14 +0000

While transitioning from a striking sequence to a wrestling entry is solid, it’s even better to interrupt your opponent’s striking with a well timed take down.

First, your opponent’s weight will be off balance when you get them to commit to a strike. Second, their hands will be out of position to defend and often so will their body.

In this case, we are simply slipping a jab and immediately closing the gap to a nice double leg entry.

Jab to Double Leg Setup

Gary Berger — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:30:01 +0000

Getting take downs in MMA is not easy. Nowadays, every fighter knows how to manage distance, has cage awareness, and can sprawl and dig under hooks well enough.

If you expect to force a pure wrestling game in MMA, 9/10 you are going to have a bad time. Instead, you need to be a true Mixed Martial Artist and blend your striking with your wrestling.

A simple example is using a jab to setup a double leg take down. We pump out a few jabs to establish our range, and get our opponent to respect the jab. More importantly, we want to draw their hands up to defend by either blocking or catching our jab.

Once we can see that, then we know their hands are going to be high, so we can shoot behind our jab with no impediment to our take down. Simple, easy, and effective.
