Many people complain that it’s hard to hit a moving target, . . .this is true. However, being able to move and strike at the same time requires some technical footwork. Below is a series of footwork techniques which allow one to keep up with an opponent who is circling:

I found a great .gif on the Underground Forum of the GSP vs. Serra fight where GSP throws a Superman punch which sets up a low leg round kick. The cool thing about the way GSP throws this combo is that the Superman punch is off the lead so instead of it being a cross, it’s a jab. I honestly don’t think I ever thought of the Superman punch being thrown off the lead as it was always meant to be a set up off of the round kick.

Here is a clip from Greg Nelson’s Clinch DVD that show several of the counters to clinch that we have been working over the past few weeks. Greg is one crafty individual with a lot to offer, if you have a chance consider purchasing his clinch DVD which shows a lot of the similar clinch material and counters as Ajarn Chai has shown all of us.

First off here is a clip of Greg Nelson from the Eric Paulson Camp 2005 doing the combinations we have been working for the past few weeks.  I first saw Greg do similar combos back about five years ago and they have a ton of validity so we will continue to use them. Here they are:

Secondly, here is the Scott Smith / Pete Sell fight which shows what we have been simulating with flash knockouts.  You need to make sure you keep the lead hand up when throwing the cross so this doesn’t happen:

Here is a PDF download I made a while back that I decided to post for download.  It points out the basics of the boxing stance.  Please remember that this is a basic foundation and that things can and will change depending on “situations change variables.”
