How to avoid that dangerous overhand right hook?

[x100handslap**]

You should be able to slip an overhand just as well as you can slip a straight. The target is the same. In fact if an opponent throws a correct straight it should be more difficult to defend because you don't see it coming in the same amount of time.

Nice one thanks sinister this helped alot I didnt realise you could slip a hook till now. (obviously only the overhand hook) The overhand hook is almost calling for a cross between a slip and a duck depending on its angle I think I get it now.

how good are these people youre sparring with? i catch teeps here and there in the gym but that doesnt mean i could catch one from Buakaw.

i think 1:26 explains it (or something)...ive been trying to find a better gif than the Rashad one but this is harder than i thought. that one should have summed the technique up more or less. if you need more examples, look at the wrestlers at 170 like Hendricks, Ellenburger, Kos, etc...im sure theyve done it in at least one of their fights.



im still looking...not the cleanest example but here is Chris Weidman:

heres a sloppy Roy Nelson one but in reverse...again, not the cleanest example:

i think you need to watch actual MMA more because youre not seeing what some of the top level guys are doing if youre comparing it to what regular dudes in your gym might be capable of. you could have pros at your gym...no idea. im just speculating here.

Great video thanks man!
