If I miss a left hook because of spacing (they run from it/move backward) then following that with a rear push kick is nice. Also try the inside leg kick to back leg push kick. Be sure you have propper footwork for balance and power...

[JorgenBore]

Nice, thanks! That's some cool ideas. One combo I love is the jab - step through cross - inside low kick.

Inside leg kick to back leg push kick sounds like a good one. Will work that some on the bag tomorrow, and throw it in at my next sparring with kicks.

what do you think is the most udervalued strike in mma?

effectiveness of short elbows used in GnP?

(i know this is controversial and depends a lot as to who is doing it) but best striking style suited for mma?

I'd love to hear someone compare and contrast dutch style counters and combos with Bang Muay Thai.

Bang Muay Thai IS Dutch Muay Thai.

[Chris Herzog]

For beginners stance and footwork are the single most important tool to develop.

Footwork can be the path to success, or it can be the route to all failure. If your footwork is well developed but your upper body movements are less refined it can help auto correct your upper body's movement (punches, defense, etc). If your upper is solid but your footwork is horrible it can corrupt your upper body and cause drastic over compensations (leaning, over extending, poor judge of range, etc.)

We place heavy emphasis on stance replacement, as the core component of footwork.

Are you fucking with me? 10th Planet Jiu jitsu is brazilian Jiu jitsu but its not the same as they teach at gracie barra.
I just thought that Bang would have plenty of things that are different enough from typical dutch style kickboxing to be of interest.

No, Duane's main background is Dutch Muay Thai, that doesn't mean he hasn't added alot to his system. But even Duane considers what we do as Dutch Muay Thai.

[Joachim Hoff]

I always considered the definition of Dutch muay thai as Muay thai with more emphasis on adding western boxing fundamentals, so yeah.. And elbows in round one, hee hee hee... :}

Well, I did learn something interesting.
