It seems obvious when you state it openly, but good defense is the product of either head movement, hand placement, or foot movement.

As hard as it is to believe, some people don't do any of that. Most average combatants can do at least one; some of the better or more experienced ones move two.

You can make it to the championship belts just being able to do two out of the three. But generally speaking, the people who rise to the highest levels of the sport and, more importantly, stay there, do all three.

Now, whether they do all three in sequence or simultaneously is a different matter entirely. But the reality of it is getting people to train offense and defense equally, and then getting them to train defense equally.—as in a third, a third, and a third dedicated to each one of those movement patterns.

It often can get so difficult and problematic that it almost isn't worth some people's time and discourages it. But if you're looking to be more of a complete fighter there is nothing wrong with adding to the routine.

@trainjian is passionate about biomechanics and approaches movement analytically. AKA the perfect candidate for #motogymkhana

The Soviet boxing style is highly mobile, but it demands athleticism, body awareness, and technical mastery. It seems the most compatible with what I already know from ITF Taekwondo.

Sprained my thumb like this 👎 but this session was too valuable to miss.

Flat feet + jumper’s knee doesn’t necessarily mean you need to stop boxing.

🥊 With the right coach, boxing can become part of the solution.

🦶 Your foot is designed to do two seemingly opposite things:

1) pronate and flatten to absorb force, then 2) become rigid to push force back into the ground.

💨 The Windlass mechanism makes this happen.

As the big toe extends,

tension through the plantar fascia helps raise and stiffen the arch (it will feel like a twist and a stretch), creating a stronger lever for propulsion.

🥊 If you have flat feet, you will not be able turn your plantar fascia into a lever for force generation …

Then, rest of the lower limb then has to adapt—the knee usually ends up taking more force than it was designed to.

That can become jumper’s knee (patellar tendinopathy).

Interesting, proper boxing footwork technique can assist in improving flat feet:

1) Boxing requires repeated foot drive, weight transfer, pivots, bouncing, acceleration and deceleration … in other words, motor skills which are trainable and transferable to other areas of life and other sports.

2) So rather than simply avoiding explosive movement, we can progressively teach the foot, knee and hip to organize and manage force better, then integrate that control back into boxing.

This is the fundamental idea behind The Strike Method: use striking to build better movement, rather than allowing striking to reinforce existing problems.

Reach
Distance
Range
They all under a similar umbrella
Why is it that someone who has long arms can't maintain distance
Why is the shorter person able to trade or counter
---
Your positioning, where you place yourself vs where they have

Are you actually in a position to throw that is in your favor? Do you know where you're standing on the ring?

Everything starts from the ground up, know where you and your feet are to get the shots you want

✅ Cable Rotations for Lumbo-Pelvic Triangle (LPT) Control 🔺

Striking requires more than producing force through the legs.

You also need to transfer that force through the pelvis and trunk into the upper body,

while maintaining control of your position.

🔺 The Lumbo-Pelvic Triangle (LPT) is a coaching and motor-control concept I developed within The Strike Method.

Note: It is NOT an anatomical structure or fascial “sling.”

I use the LPT as a SPATIAL framework for teaching athletes to actively coordinate the musculature surrounding the pelvis, hips, and trunk,

and move the hip flexors and deep core muscles synergistically.

🦵 In this drill, an adductor squeeze + hip hinge gives Kenzie

sensory information about her pelvic position

while she performs a seated cable rotation.

The goal isn’t simply to strengthen her rotation, but build motor control over the LPT for improved striking.

Kenzie is a beginner Muay Thai student learning these mechanics from the ground up.

You're either in position or out of position
Your stance is your base, it leads to offense and defense

Control where the person goes to have better opportunities to land shots. At the same time be ready to properly defend when they fire back

Those flurries served a purpose
Adding pressure
Forcing a gamble
Delaying a chance to think
Then all of a sudden it lands
