Footwork for explosive combo

[wanna-be-cowboy]

As someone else who has studied karate for some 28 years. This is the most common mistake I see people make in karate. You are severely telegraphing your second shot big time by the huge lunge (which in itself can be easily timed for a counter and your finishing position leaves you right in place and off balance for a sweep or in a position where you can easily be eaten up by a guy who loves to fight on the Inside.
The reason I know this is because I fought at the Scottish open championship did this and was caught right away and left with a broken nose. So I changed it up.
My advice (and how I did it)
1. Take 1st step but change jab to lead rear right straight.
2. On the second step quickly switch to southpaw and now through a lead rear left straight.
3. You are now in a position where you can pivot away from your opponent forcing him to turn and face you as his "danger hand" is furthest away allowing you to work as he manouvers to better his position and will be caught off balance.
It is also very confusing to the opponent as he will expect you to through either a front leg round house or a lead hand hook after thr initial punch as hell believe that's a set up to get him to drop gaurd.
Remember you head must be off the line and do t aim for the head, it's too small a target and likely to miss, so aim for the solar plexus, easier to hit, drains oxygen Maki it easily to break the opponents down.
Good luck.

Im pretty sure if you watch some Wonderboy fights you’ll see him do it pretty effectively. I think I remember him using it in his fight against Kevin Holland

[yuzuki]

The most simple moment is most effective

[joe-weeny]

It would work against an untrained fighter if you fought someone with experience you’d walk yourself into a punch

[honkler]

teach the drop step foward, very very few ppl do it and it is a insane technique
1-open legs and let your body drop
2-use this momentum to go foward without teleggraphing

this is such a great technique ppl never see you coming

It would be effective if the other person is a beginner, a boomer, or a punching bag

[adeebhussain]

Imagine someone taunts you and come at you with this agility😨

[markvaradi-cw]

A counter puncher would make you bleed if you did that

[markmessi]

It works but you have to turn the reverse punch into a cross. If you use the karate bounce with boxing hands THATS the winning combo

Hello brother, it would be helpful if u made a video about grappling or types of throws for karate bro?

[Whosyourdaddy]

Anyone who doesn’t thing this works in Mma has never heard of Lyoto Machida

[matthewalanlayne]

I would say yes just don't forget that bag has arms you wanna get out if the way right after unless ur the type of person who doesn't mind taking a beating just to dish out ur own

No it wouldn't be efficient. That's a wide stance that doesn't allow fast mobility side to side. It's only for dashing in forward and dashing back. Someone comes with a check or fake hook and you got yourself a broken jaw.
