alright in this video you're going to
learn how to land a knockout by hiding
your punches now this is a trick that
most people on the street don't know
about but any trained fighter knows
about this and knows how to do this now
I personally have never not doing it out
but the guess we have Big Mike certainly
has
he's a former North American boy side
champion and he's going to be showing
you how to do this
[Music]
all right the trick is not telegraphing
your punch so when you're driving behind
a car we have the brake lights right the
brake lights come on to prevent you from
rear-ending the car in front of you why
the reason is because when you're behind
somebody and you're in this path right
behind them it's very difficult to see
something coming towards you it'll get a
little bit bigger but it's not like if
you were perpendicular right
for example the cars in front of us
traveling this way it's very clear when
the car stops but if a car is right in
front of you and he starts moving
towards you it's hard to see it because
he's not really changing right he's only
getting a little bit bigger it's the
same thing with a punch so with our
punches if you go to the earlier
tutorial I talked about keeping your
elbow pointing downwards until 3/4 of
the way out and flaring it out the
reason why we do this is because the
elbow is a telegraph the elbow in the
shoulder right these are the points that
you look for to trigger the punch so if
you're punching your signals which is
like the brake signals in a car your
elbows so if I were to punch like this I
flare my elbow out and then I punch you
you could see it coming from you know
very far right you're gonna eat very
quickly be able to avoid it all right so
I'm gonna demonstrate this for you so
Jonathan do you mind put your hand up
ok what I'm gonna do right now is I'm
gonna just try to lightly hit your hand
and I want you to try to move it okay
Jonathan I've never told him about this
drill let's just demonstrate so the
first one okay I want you to look at my
arms okay and try to do it okay three
out of three
now I'm gonna use the same speed but I'm
gonna cut something out and we'll talk
about it right after right you see okay
okay if you rewind the video you can
probably see the subtle difference and
the only thing that I did was I went
from here I dropped it and I went out I
didn't even flare my elbows right watch
if I flare my elbows like there's just
no way I can hit you right it's the same
thing when you're fighting somebody in
front of you right it's a little bit
more it's a little bit more aggressive a
little bit different is more things
involved but the same idea right if you
punch somebody and you you'll see this
in a street fight right if you're if
you're winding up like this I mean like
you know it's coming right or if it
comes from here and I just throw an
elbow like you're gonna be able to move
very quickly but if I'm from here and I
literally and we talked about how to
throw a right cross right we're pivoting
everything I come from here and I just
straight shoot it out it's really hard
for you to see it especially if I keep
my elbow pointing downwards right boom
and the reality is you don't need a lot
of power to you know knock somebody out
which is that concussion if you can
Lance me really clean on them then the
punch is effective whether you're
hitting them with your fists or whether
you're doing the the palm strike to the
nose which is very popular too as long
as you're not winding up and you're
coming from here and just straight into
it no wind up and then or no dipping and
going you're gonna be able to as strong
very very effectively strike the
opponent and that's it um this mistake
this little trick is actually even seen
at the highest levels when I trained
some professional fighters I tell them
always like okay you're making a split
second mistake right you drop it and
then you're going and a lot of people
they don't realize how important this is
but as we just demonstrated that tiny
second will give you that will give your
opponent that split second to read you
and those tiny little fractions of a
second is what will depict the winner of
the fight okay so here's the situation
where I've used this trick in an actual
Muay Thai fight so we'll get in our
stance let's assume Jonathan is throwing
a one-two hook he's very very strong
very wild so what I would do is first I
would try to read him so he throws the
one two hook one two hook okay boom now
I'm thinking he throws a one-two hook so
I'll wait for the next one what's open
in a hook right naturally speaking he's
open here so what am I gonna do I'm
gonna do this I'm gonna wait for the
one-two one-two and the moment I feel
the two of my guard here and I see that
hook starting I shoot my cross right
because I remember the trick is we're
not winding up so I'm gonna beat him to
his punch right and I'm gonna throw it
so my chin is tucked so he can't hit me
then this shot right here will land
clean then what I'm gonna do is this is
gonna be their starting of my combo so
I'm gonna go boom and I'm gonna go hook
and then I'm gonna go boom low kick
right that's how we're gonna get into
that combo so that first shot is like an
opening shot so it kind of days is him
it's not really to it mate it probably
could knock him out but it may just stun
him and then the hook is really what
will do the damage and then the low kick
is really just too
finish you know the strike in case he
isn't done and you use that I've used
that yeah yeah he's got a lot yeah yeah
because when you're throwing the hook
it's not want the damage the punch that
does the most damage is when your
opponent doesn't see it coming right so
when you're throwing the hook as hard as
you can and I'm ripping across into you
that's something completely
discombobulated you right because you're
completely not defended right so if you
want to practice your punching at home
not only do you have the shadowbox it
here's a really cool drill that I do so
go up against the wall or for example we
have a little ring here right and what
you're gonna do is you're gonna get into
your fighting stance and you're just
going to tuck your elbow right against
the wall and then from here you're just
gonna shoot it straight out now you're
gonna see you can't flare your elbow out
right because the wall is there and now
you're gonna do is get in your stance
and from here the same thing as we
talked about that punching video you're
gonna just pivot out that's it no dropp
no wind up no elbows out from here
straight out so start to use that
technique but we remember this is just a
technique and it's not going to
magically make you into an amazing
fighter one of the biggest things is
being in shape and getting fit getting
the fit body of a fighter and you may
not want to even become a fighter but
you might just want to have the nice
body of a fighter well what I want you
to do is because you can actually train
with Mike online and he has a special
