How To: The Forward Tyson Drill | Tj Dillashaw

Problems with taller opponents? The Tyson drill should be your bread and butter. In fact, you should be using head movement no matter what.

...And yes, I call it that in honor of Mike Tyson's movements. 👊

As an amateur boxer, this technique worked with me so well, especially when im fighting taller opponents, you can also add a leaping hook with it to surprise your opponents given that you already loaded your power on your lead leg, its syncs so well.

Can't wait to see this warrior back in the ring

When Tyson does it it's terrifying

Technically, this defense is called the "Dempsey Roll, " whom Tyson adopted this move from. Tyson, however perfected it so it appears to have come from him but historically it came from Dempsey. Dempsey was one of the boxer's that Tyson enjoyed studying, and Cus was such a boxing professor that you were going to get a myriad of boxers and their techniques to study to have in your arsenal.

What supplements do I need to take this to the next level

Oh man. Thank you so much. I'm a smaller man and a southpaw. I spent a good long while learning the basics of boxing and fell in love with the peekaboo style. This really helps in my journey to master it.

Thanks for the vid! It's wonderful seeing MMA fighters incorporating old school boxing. Cus D'Amato was a genius trainer.

When you come back you gotta pull the old Brock catch line:"I'm a white boy and I'm jacked, deal with it"

I've practiced martial arts for a while, but only ever by myself. I could get the movements down and do nice flows and technique, that is, until I started sparring. Immediately sparring showed every bad technique I had been using (in terms of footwork and balance). My punches are great, stiff, snappy. My feet and my balance however make those punches impossible to ever throw in a real situation. I just wanted to say this drill is amazing for not only feeling out the way to move forward in a balanced position, but it also forces your feet to maintain correct heel-toe alignment.

Thanks.

I've been training peekaboo for a few years and it has greatly improved my defense as well as offense.

You should show all the movement first, and after that show it in parts
