This thread is for the discussion of all full contact combat sports such as

>kickboxing
>brazilian jiu jitsu
>muay thai
>kyokushin karate

Have you trained any combat sports? Share your experiences here.

Webm related, bag work I've been doing yesterday with a private trainer.
I've trained boxing, kickboxing, muay thai and mma over the years and recently got back into it after a year long pause.

This is more of a dutch kickboxing style with an emphasis on low kicks after every hand combination.

What are your favorite combos/moves fit?

My bread and butter dutch kickboxing combos are
Jab->Cross->Hook->Low/Roundhouse kick
Jab->Hook->Cross->Low/Roundhouse Kick
Jab->Hook->Liver->Cross->Low Kick

As for my more unorthodox combos that have been proven to work in sparring:
Jab->Switch roundhouse
Cross->Low Kick->Cross
Inside low kick->Jab->Cross->Low kick
Jab->Cross->Question mark kick

You literally look like woman's self defense class on how to fight off a would be rapist. Your form is shite, your slow, and you punch like a girl. It's cool you found a sport you like, but you're going to get your shit pushed in often with those skills, also maybe don't post your gay combos online then you can enjoy your sport without everyone thinking you're a pussy.

Lol, no shit it shows, but yeah I bet you're real good at fake fighting where it's poor form to hurt your faggy ass. Unfortunately you'll have to find other masturbation material, unlike you I'm actually an active fighter, not active on social media, don't worry though every gym has someone like you, someone who talks more about fighting than they actually fight. As soon as a girl's in earshot, hey bro you going to the gym later?

Your form is not correct at all bud, so you're just going slow and conditioning yourself to throw push-punches for no reason.
Loosen up, especially at your shoulders. Kicks look a bit stiff too but they'll get better with time and better mobility.

Also, going deliberately slow is maybe useful if you're learning a new kick or trying to get the timing for a combination right, but for punches going too slow is almost always detrimental.

Hey brother! Don't listen to the naysayers! Your form looks great! It can surely be improved, but that's even true of elite fighters! I can tell you've been training diligently!

I've been training in martial arts since 2008! I've done Modern Army Combatives, Muay Thai, Western Boxing, BJJ, and Bojuts. My main form of fitness is weighttraiing but I practice martial arts weekly and have since 2017.

Just a note on your form:

> Your handspeed is great! People who say you look "slow" probably don't have a lot of training because they're not noticing you're completely bringing your opposite hand back to your face to guard it before you throw your next punch.

>You have a really solid left hook! I like it! You'll definitely do damage with it.


I don't have anything to suggest for improving your form at this point! You look great! However, here's a few tips from a guy whose been around the block:


When you throw your round kick, you have great rotation! What helps in an actual fight is if you throw your hand forward between you and your opponent OR bring it up to your head to defend yourself. Your lead hand goes out, which leaves you vulnerable to attacks!

Rather than always trying to step with your jab, try to throw a jab where you rotate your lead hip -- NOT your foot! It stays planted. There are multiple jabs and the one where you step is great for closing distance but it's probably not fast enough to tag a seasoned fighter.

Try stepping with your rear at a 45 degree angle away from your target when you throw the switch kick instead of switching lead to rear. I know that's the defintion of a switch kick, but if you step out you generate more power, get off center line, and can throw it just as quickly.

Also, don't forget to lift weight! I really went far in training simply because I incorporated weight training into my repertoire while most guys were just doing calisthenics.

Great combinations! Your work is showing. Keep going /fit/izen!!

Unless the attack happens within 10 feet. Ex-infantry US soldier here.

This is the gayest fucking LARP shit and I hate reading stuff like this. Men need to know how to fight. Not every loudmouth at a bar or car accident doesn't need to lead to pussies pulling their guns out. I have like 9 firearms but guys who make guns their whole identity or feel like martial arts are useless are usually pussies / walking holsters.

If the attack happens within 10 feet and you have no training I can up chagi you in the throat before you even clear leather.

You're not terrible but don't let the retards in this thread gas you up either (assuming it's not you samefagging). Just look at how you threw that combination at 0:28, especially the low kick. It's not good and you're completely open, within range for a counter.
You're not generating power from your hips, your hands are not good, you're sitting back on your roundhouse kicks, you're leaving yourself completely open at multiple times. Again, not terrible but you have a lot to work on before you can claim to be any good at striking.

I pointed out all the same gaps in his game that you did, but what you guys aren't doing is giving credit where due to recognize the dude is pretty solid. You have to realize almost nobody fights like a professional MMA fighters. In fact, 90% of people don't even train, do any conditioning, or any weightlifting. He's got a really solid base and there's a lot he's doing right.

He's leaving himself open and pushing SOME of his punches, but he has a lot going for him and anons who won't post body / any bagwork mean very little to me as someone who has been doing this for almost 20 years now.

You have never boxed. You've got a month or two in that muay thai class and you're relying on the average person's inability to tell one striking modality from the other. Any consistent hobbyist can see it. Anyone hyping you up right now is, well, probably just you.

I wrestled and got a blue belt and BJJ before trying striking. The muay thai gym where I trained had you just hit pads and do bagwork for like 3 months before you start sparring. It's a different ballgame. In the same way that in grappling when you're much better than your opponent you can make them look like a baby, the same applies to striking and it's humbling. It's definitely worth doing if you haven't before

Let me guess, wearing a mouth piece and a nut cup is for pussies too, right? Afterall, they didn't make groin shots illegal in Muay Thai until the 1980s.

>I'm fucking carved out of wood

First of all, who talks like that?

Secondly, The thing about debating fitness online is that nobody can see what you look like. When you post a body pic / bagwork vid it shows whether or not you know what you're talking about.

The only people who posted pics are the OP and myself. It's pretty clear from my pic that I mog 99% of the faggots on this board and in most martial arts gyms where nobody lifts.

It's also clear by the bullshit you're writing that you're not nearly as good as you think you are.You won't post a pic or a bagwork video because you know you'll be put to shame.

OP has more balls than all of you crybabies put otgether

I recommend a bit more stretching before throwing kicks on the bag. Your hips look tight as fuck and it's buggering up your ability to rotate and turn over your hips when kicking. Other than that keep at it and while I appreciate the attempt to talk about your hobby, anything involving combat sports unfortunately brings forth every Dunning Krugeresque motherfucker that has ever lived. Good faith conversation with rational people is thin on the ground.

you're way too tense, you're not punching, you're pushing
you have to WHIP your hands. Throw them loose and then tighten before impact

Look up Bivol, he does it perfectly, especially the right cross

>using shinpads for bag work

Do dutch bros really do this? My muay thai gym you would get clowned for this. Is it not important to build shin pain tolerance in dutch kickboxing?
