  1. 0:01Hello friends,
  2. 0:05my friend will help us today
  3. 0:08who was once my student.
  4. 0:13I was always glad that he was so tall
  5. 0:18and now I can visually show you how to
  6. 0:20get close to a tall opponent.
  7. 0:24Friends, look at how much longer his arm
  8. 0:26is than mine.
  9. 0:29And then a reasonable question arises,
  10. 0:31how do I hit him?
  11. 0:34Look, his arm is really 15 cm longer
  12. 0:37than mine. But in any case, height is
  13. 0:40primarily about legs. Please spread your
  14. 0:43legs a little wider. Move your left foot
  15. 0:46a little closer to me. Now, let's look
  16. 0:48at his possible range of arm and leg
  17. 0:50movements. He might not let me get
  18. 0:53within striking distance at all. Relax
  19. 0:56and take a fighting stance.
  20. 0:58How do I get closer and be able to
  21. 1:00attack?
  22. 1:02>> Dear friends, happy new year. Wish you
  23. 1:04all the best. And I have a special offer
  24. 1:08for you. For all my courses, click on
  25. 1:10the pinned link. Happy New Year. Well,
  26. 1:14I'll try to get closer to him. You're
  27. 1:17trying to back up a bit. Not letting me
  28. 1:19close the distance. I can't do it. I
  29. 1:23don't have enough time to close the
  30. 1:24distance. If I try to move faster, he
  31. 1:28does the same thing. Don't swing your
  32. 1:30arm.
  33. 1:33Take a more lateral stance.
  34. 1:36Great.
  35. 1:38I'll try to use a pendulum.
  36. 1:42The opponent also leaves.
  37. 1:45I'll try to slip the punches.
  38. 1:49And you meet me with a blow of the front
  39. 1:51hand with a step back.
  40. 1:56That is wherever I am shifting here or
  41. 1:59here. He holds me easily with his front
  42. 2:02hand always ready to hit me with the
  43. 2:04other.
  44. 2:07There is a certain distance and with the
  45. 2:09help of foot movements he will easily
  46. 2:11punch a me. So the question is how do I
  47. 2:14close the distance with a taller
  48. 2:16opponent?
  49. 2:18That is to get to a distance from which
  50. 2:20I can reach my opponent.
  51. 2:23It's not that this is the only option.
  52. 2:28There are different approaches to this.
  53. 2:32The option I want to offer you is
  54. 2:34accelerated action.
  55. 2:36That is a more abrupt movement with a
  56. 2:39change of direction.
  57. 2:41No matter how fast I attack him, he
  58. 2:44manages to defend himself and retreat.
  59. 2:47Right? Then changing the direction of
  60. 2:49the attack can help me. How the movement
  61. 2:53must be performed forward and sideway.
  62. 2:56That's how I managed to close the
  63. 2:58distance. Now try to protect yourself
  64. 3:01from me.
  65. 3:05I've managed to close the distance.
  66. 3:07Don't you agree?
  67. 3:10And that's assuming he knew what I was
  68. 3:12going to do.
  69. 3:13But imagine if the opponent doesn't know
  70. 3:15what I'm going to do.
  71. 3:18What did I do? I sped up. I work as the
  72. 3:22first number and when I start he's
  73. 3:24already late. In addition, I get
  74. 3:26acceleration when I make a sudden
  75. 3:28movement.
  76. 3:29>> The first forward movement from a long
  77. 3:31distance, forward, forward and then not
  78. 3:34backward but forward and sideways again.
  79. 3:37Go forward and then abruptly throw your
  80. 3:40shoulders to the side and the leg will
  81. 3:42stand on its own. I'm not going to step
  82. 3:44forward with my foot. Here are the basic
  83. 3:47movements.
  84. 3:49The first movement is the forward
  85. 3:50movement of the leg and body. Not a
  86. 3:53footstep but a shoulders movement.
  87. 3:56Inertia will carry my body and I can
  88. 3:59already attack here. That is
  89. 4:01acceleration.
  90. 4:03The sharper the first movement, the
  91. 4:05sharper the second one will be. If you
  92. 4:08try to close the distance at the same
  93. 4:09pace and rhythm. Try to stop me.
  94. 4:16Here is a good example. The tempo and
  95. 4:19rhythm should be sharp and broken in
  96. 4:22this case. For example, I do calm
  97. 4:25repetitive movements.
  98. 4:27One, two, three, and then I close the
  99. 4:30distance abruptly
  100. 4:32forward and to the side. The first
  101. 4:35movement is sharp, then sideways, and
  102. 4:37you accelerate.
  103. 4:39That is a sudden change in direction of
  104. 4:42movement. You won't be able to do a
  105. 4:44sharp second action if you didn't do the
  106. 4:46first one abruptly. forward and to the
  107. 4:49side. Forward, forward and to the side.
  108. 4:53And then you are twice ahead of your
  109. 4:55opponent. The first is a sudden forward
  110. 4:58movement. And then the second is a
  111. 4:59sudden forward and sideways movement in
  112. 5:02which case you accelerate.
  113. 5:04In this case, your tall opponent may not
  114. 5:06have enough time to defend himself.
  115. 5:09Well, later we will tell you how a tall
  116. 5:11athlete can avoid such actions.
