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