simple who are striking coaches, any style; that you admire regarding their system, students performance and philosophy.
 
Yoshizo Machida ;)
 
in the begining of 2015 i injured my right shoulder and it gave me the chance to work on my lead hand. during that time ive been studying alotta the Tristar guys. And for the past few years ive focusing on having my fighters take less damage and establishing the jab/distance. a big part of that was inspired by my fav striking coach Firas Zahabi.

heres a lil highlight vid that was made from one of my fighters last fight in feb 2017

Not necessarily a striking coach, but Firas is the man. His youtube channel has tons of great instructions where he goes over specific strategies and tactics. He explains not just how to execute certain techniques, but WHEN and WHY you use them. Awesome coach. I'd love to train there some day.

Bang - Everyone he works with learns how to fight better, even if they don't become a World-beater, they clearly are better off after his influence than before it.

Yup, after training with him you feel like a world beater.
Then you get beat in front of the world.
Then you have a meltdown in front of the world.
Then you hide from the world.
The world then laughs whilst the stockholders of pillow companies count their profits.

Tis a cruel cruel world.

How are we supposed to answer this? Like "Pete cuz he taught me good?" I mean Freddie Roach is the obvious answer but none of us have ever worked with him. So...
 
Futch and Bentons guys were consistently pleasures to watch. In MMA there's Bang, Hooft, Henry and Parillo
 
Eddie Futch is my go to answer for boxing. Muhammed Ali's real worst rival.

In terms of other striking I really like Kru Dam from Sitmonchai gym and the way he's developed a very technical style all about maximising offense. Teaches great low kicks, great switch kicks and teaches you how to punch properly.

In kickboxing my answer is Lucien Carbin, teaches switches and shifts better than anyone else I can think of and teaches them subtlety. Pretty much all of his guys are great switch hitting knee strikers, and a lot of them look significantly worse after leaving him.

For MMA its probably Matt Hume, Firas Zahabi or Edmond.

Everything about your post is legit until you mentioned that joke of a coach Edmond.
 
I love how Edmond has no advice for his fighters until a couple seconds after they're clearly out on their feet. Then he shouts something generic like "no! clinch you gotta clinch!" or "jab........ Jab!" only 12 minutes too late.

Amazing. Coach of the Decade IMO
