Quick video tip: Jab – Cross – Knee (Frankie Edgar style)Filed Under: Instruction

Here’s UFC champion Frankie Edgar teaching a basic combo, using the standard Jab-Cross to set up a clinch where knees to the face and body will be delivered.  Notice how crisp his defense is even while throwing strikes and how he circles while disengaging.  We worked a slightly different version of this in class, and its nice to see how its done by an elite striker.

Quick video tip: Slipping the jab, countering with an uppercutFiled Under: Instruction

This is a kickboxing combination we worked on recently in class. I’ve been really digging the use of the uppercut as a counterpunch lately.  Remember – stay tight (protected). You don’t have to flap around to generate power in the uppercut. The power comes from your hips and really shoveling from the ground.

I believe this clip is from Pat Miletich’s Striking Strategies DVD or his Train to Fight and Win: Standup.
