working on shooting on kicks, its kinda scary but im having some success with it :icon_chee
Its difficult to get kneed if you shoot from close. NEVER SHOOT FROM FAR!What is your favorite way to set up a takedown in mma? So far my favorite is just a fake jab then shoot, but no matter what I do to setup the shot I always feel a little timid to shoot because I fear a low kick or knee to the head. So how do you guys deal with that fear? I have also figured out that the tackle shot is less risky then the traditional wrestling shot because it better prevents knees and kicks to the head as well as guillotines.
Machida used that a few times, it works.
dont muay thai guys fight square?You see this sort of thing a lot more in striking focused sports (like Muay Thai) than you do in grappling sports without strikes; i think it has mainly to do with the more bladed and upright stance many use when striking.

I've seen him fight before. Compared to boxers and tma's he's pretty square. not saying he isnt good at dumps. Maybe he is relatively more bladed compared to grapplers.
Indeed, though in MT you would rather sweep or kick the leg from under your opponent (esp. while holding his leg after his kick) in a rising arc, while in Shotokan you can execute this while darting in and unbalancing the opponent with the punch threat (if he leans) or your arm, while your leg is still close to the ground.You tend to see this sort of thing a lot more in striking focused sports (like Muay Thai) than you do in grappling sports without strikes i've noticed; i think it has mainly to do with the more bladed and upright stance many use when striking.

A lot of people don’t realize the same concept of the “pocket” exists in wrestling as in boxing. That range that’s no super tight but not on the outside that takes experience to be comfortable inIts difficult to get kneed if you shoot from close. NEVER SHOOT FROM FAR!
