Bring them out and see you on the mats! ????????
When holding focus mitts, keep your wrists straight and your elbows slightly bent to absorb the impact safely. Always present a stable target by engaging your core and meeting the punch with controlled resistance.
Plant your lead foot, chamber that rear knee, then whip your hips and rotate your standing foot so the lower shin snaps into your opponent’s lead thigh or calf like a freight train.
Snap the leg back to stay balanced, keep your hands high, and follow with a quick step‑in or punch to turn the hit into real trouble.
Get ready to blast your opponent’s lead leg with a sneaky, hip-powered back-side low kick plant your lead foot, chamber that rear knee, then whip your hips and spin your standing foot so your shin rips into the thigh or calf like a rocket. Keep your hands up, snap the kick back to stay balanced, and follow with a cheeky punch or step-in to make the move look as smooth as it feels.
Timing beats power — every time. Watch Marco and Cleve teach you how to turn your opponent’s kick into your advantage with this simple but effective counter.
????Whether you’re training for self-defense, competition, or just want to level up your stand-up game — this one’s for you.
Drop your level, step in close behind your opponent’s lead leg, lock both legs with your arms, and drive your shoulder into their midsection to off‑balance them.
Finish the lift or trip with powerful leg drive and hip movement, then transition quickly to side control to secure the position.
