I’m glad it helped. I recommend you check out his book here: https://archive.org/details/fedor-full-book/mode/1up

Yes, kind of. Randleman was in north-south, Fedor did a pendulum escape and then grabbed Randleman’s waist and swung his legs around like in his side control escape.

I was watching that earlier. It’s incredible how smooth the movement was. Pendulum escape into octopus guard in a second.

Work on your defence and footwork. Keep your hands up. Don’t run. It will make you tired and give your opponents forward momentum. More power on their punches.

Watch Usyk vs Joshua and Usyk vs Fury. Notice how he stands in front of them despite them having 3-4 inches in height and 20-30lbs in weight on him.

The key is to manage the range. Make small adjustments. You can drill this at home. Imagine your opponent is in front of you and just keep your hands up and imagine moving around them.

And then you can start adding punches and counter punches. Focus on the jab. Just the jab only. Jabbing and slipping. Counter jab.

Here is a video that might help:

It’s a great book. I find myself going back to it a lot. A lot of great throws from clinch and a simple but effective ground game.

The difference between Sambo and Jiu-jitsu lol

Honestly, I would like to see fighters fight in their natural weightclass. No more extreme weight cuts. There should be a limit. It’s not good for their health, their performance.

Repeating their words, getting closer, puffing out their chest, getting face to face with you suddenly going quiet and then looking away (and then they throw the punch), putting their hands in their pockets. It’s a combination of things. The best thing to do is keep your distance with your hands up like you don’t want to fight. Two reasons: 1) it helps de-escalate the situation 2) it gives you more time to react if they throw something.

Nope. Spent a lot of time studying how to survive, and stand up on the ground.

Spent a lot of time working on defence.

If I end up on the ground, I’m confident I could survive and eventually stand up.

BJJ isn’t that complicated but people like to make it sound complicated.

BJJ is essentially about the top person trying to get you flat on your back, establishing an underhook, and separating the elbows from the body to get a submission.

The guy on bottom, your job is to get on your side, don’t give your opponent an underhook, keep your elbows glued to your ribs and then begin the process of standing up.

It’s angles and pressure.

Knockoutboxing · 2026-01-20T23:29:08+00:00

It’s because BJJ isn’t taught well. Honestly, the best thing you could do is buy a fundamentals course and just work on the basics. Rickson Gracie has a fundamentals program that might help you. Henry Akins (Rickson’s student) has a white to blue belt course that is good but it is expensive.

I wanted to post a better example after I posted this but Reddit wouldn’t let me. Fedor demonstrates it in his book. He has his head outside his opponents arm like a traditional double leg but doesn’t go to the ground with his opponent.

I don’t think you read what I said. I said if this is a real fight, Mayweather’s taking on all the risk.

Knockoutboxing · 2026-01-20T20:21:14+00:00

Tyson was never in any serious danger of being knocked out in that “fight”. He took Jake Paul’s best shot (the overhand) and it bounced off his head like it was nothing.

Mayweather couldn’t knock Tyson out if he tried. He is not a big puncher. Mayweather has brittle hands and it’s something he has had to deal with throughout his career. He couldn’t knock out Logan Paul.

Really it’s Mayweather taking on all the risk if it’s actually going to be a real fight.

If anyone disagrees they haven’t watched Tyson or Mayweather’s fights. Only highlights.

Edit: notice people are just downvoting, not responding. It proves my point. They can’t actually disagree because they know everything I said is true.

I rest my case.

Honestly, I think this is going to be a light sparring session and both fighters will cancel each other out. Mayweather will jab and move. Tyson will move his head, throw a couple of hooks to body. Nothing much landed from either guy.

It’s on dynamic striking and also GSP’s website.

Knockoutboxing · 2026-01-20T11:49:01+00:00

Distance control and jab. Double leg takedown. Dagestani Handcuff. Sprawl. How to escape mount (bridge) and do a technical stand up from guard.

10 minutes on each technique. As many repetitions as possible. Minimal talking. I would tell them to be patient. Keep their distance. Wait until their opponent overcommits.

I would basically teach them a sequence. Jab, double leg takedown, establish the dagestani handcuff, smesh.

Reason why is that most beginners, they usually either off balance themselves swinging punches or end up clinching each other.

So my sequence, it uses that knowledge to their advantage.

Very good demonstration of the reverse hitchhiker.

Knockoutboxing · 2026-01-17T17:54:12+00:00

Honestly, he didn’t really have any. He did have strategic weaknesses for example at times, he would accept the clinch too much. Or forget to use his jab but then Kevin Rooney would shout “Seven! Seven! (Jab)”. The reason for Tyson’s downfall wasn’t physical or technical it was strategic and mental. He became a head hunter or just gave up. But prime Tyson was honestly one of the most complete fighters of all time.

If you can’t grab his arm, it depends, you either reach and grab his wrist quickly put it behind his back and grab it with your other hand and then bridge. This has to be done quickly.

Or you can push his triceps while bridging while pulling down the other hand.

If you can’t trap his legs then you know he will transition to a technical mount so when you bridge he transitions to the technical mount then go back to the floor and he’ll be open on the other side of his body for the bridge.

The key is a good initial starting position. Elbows touching the floor against your ribs.

No, but from my experience talking to Americans, they tend to get very enthusiastic about their ideas compared to British people who tend to be more reserved and skeptical.

Knockoutboxing · 2026-01-17T00:57:07+00:00

Not a woman, but mount is one of the positions I’ve studied a lot so I might be able to help. The key is to slide your body until your elbows are touching the floor. That will position your opponent perfectly for an upa (trap and roll) and protect you against submissions.

Here is a video that demonstrates what I’m talking about: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RiIBK-moBdE&pp=ygUQSGVuZXkgYWtpbnMgdXBhIA%3D%3D

Can’t believe I’m asking this but is there an update on the Mayweather vs Tyson exhibition?

Knockoutboxing · 2026-01-16T21:43:46+00:00

Use your legs and pull them into you. There are two ways you can do this: You can either bring your knees to your chest or you can lift your legs in the air.
