3 Ways Shorter Fighters can Close Off Range
Closing off the distance, or getting within punching range can be difficult when fighting a taller opponent, or against someone who has a good jab & front push kick. Coach Vince 'The Anomaly' shares 3 ways to get close off range and get on the inside of your taller opponent/sparring partners:
1. Attack at an angle: Instead of moving straight forward on the center line, move at 45° angles behind your punches.
2. Blind them: use your hand and glove to obstruct your opponent's vision, whilst moving your rear leg forward. Now explode forward, driving off of that rear leg.
3. Draw them in: sometimes your opponent is just really good at keeping you at bay. If this happens, force them to move towards you, and time your attack as they step forward.

Get that fire up fella. You WILL kick ass next time. First time I sparred I arms felt like they were broken😂 didn't attend training for a week or so
Can't thank you enough for this. I got MAULED on my first sparring session because I was fighting a taller guy with great reach and push kicks. I didnt get close, when I did I lost my guard and panicked. Bad fight, but many things to learn from that. So this vid will help me out.
Awesome video as always. Keep up the great work.
I had to defend myself a couple days ago in a street fight against a guy 2x my weight. I'm 125lbs and this huge guy shoved me and started a fight, I threw about 3 counter punches at him but they were an inch away because I have short reach and this guy was a gorilla, he then came at hella quick and grabbed a hold of sweatshirt and tried throwing me everywhere on concrete and trying to hit me at the same time. When that was over we exchanged a couple more punches and it was done. I got a couple scrapes from the concrete but walked away with zero marks on my face, he landed one little shot to the back of the head when he was grabbing my sweatshirt. Thank you for all the tactics Shane and Vince and these videos definitely help people stay safe, I've been watching fighttips for 2 years and I seriously could of got hurt if I didn't.

Thank You, I think that‘s gonna help me a lot. Amazing that you coverd all that in such a short video!
That is probably the best advice I have heard yet on this topic. Thank you.
Shane I remeber in one of your videos you said you would go pro in 2017, it would be sick seeing you actually try boxing again and going pro you'd be one of my favorite boxers and you have the skill to do it 👌
As a shorter fighter who’s fairly new to sparring, this is one of the best and most informative videos I’ve ever seen!! Thank you guys
This is just what I needed! Thanks!
You guys are the real OGs thanks for the tips.
Dope vid ! Thanks Shane
Great vid! Thanks for this!

Fantastic information! Thanks guys!!
I already know this is gonna help cause im shorter than most ppl
Cheers, guys. Love all 3 of those tips. Gonna try and use the today in sparring.
Great vid.
2:30 lead arm up blinding opponent’s view, back leg draws in and push off with back leg. Important. Nice technique.
Really helpful Shane thanks
Quality content 👍
One of the greatest closing the distance move i seen. Going to throw that into the regimen. Thanks guys
6'1" here but heavyweight so this will be useful against the giants. Great video.
Sparred my first taller partner (I’m 5’11, he probably was 6’2). What a wake up call that was 😂 got obliterated but found my weaknesses and also was lucky enough to get it recorded so I can go through the footage. Now I just gotta improve on that.
This is super helpful. I’ll give these a shot next practice.
Thanks guys!! It was really practical and useful... Let's train right now 🙂

Ive studied many techniques to close distance for a shorter guy and these are legit lesser known techniques, kudos
Shane and Vince...love these fight tips. Would this strategy also work for a good counter puncher? If not could you both make a video with strategies for that type of fighter?

1st, thanks for the tips
I used to box so Ik this stuff is good in the ring, but as for my experience street fighting this will not work when the gloves are off there’s more field of sight of the hands and unlimited coverage of distance depending on the setting, you’re best bet is to keep a distance and wait to counter strike, never look to strike an appointment first which is funny to me they always say make sure you swing first but thats only in the heat of the moment, if it takes more than 10 seconds for a fight to prepare u are no longer in the heat of the moment, so that being said the entire point of counter striking is to strike you’re appointment while they’re center point of gravity is off NOT because you’re blocking a strike, when u hit your opponent in the mist of them attempting to hit you IF YOU LAND they will immediately be discombobulated because gravity said so….so the lesson is WAIT to get hit and WAIT to throw

Goddamn just use your reach you don’t even need to close distance
Number 3 and specially number 1 need very good footwork,hard to apply if u are a rookie .Number 2 though is helpful ,specially if you use it a lot and master it it can be a winning strategy
Cut angles, Blind with the jab while shuffling in, The draw in and attack while has stepping in.
Very helpful i spar with my buddy alot were the same height but i cant gey in cause he'll grapple me and cant fight at range cause he keeps his arms out to stop me
Shane make a video of how to keep your distance on the inside fighter
Whats up Shane
Hey could u cover a video on how to deal with tkd style kickboxers i hate thatbi cant tell if a spinning heel kick or spinnin back kivk is coming
Being shorter 5ft6 I have won most of my fights on the ground with good grappling and ground a pound but the fight starts standing and you usually want to be the one who opposed it to go to the ground learn distance your punching distance and safe distance Im fairly muscular so I have knockout power so keep bay keep guard tight use foot work when’s. Punch is thrown with intent it’s spotable slip the punch to get inside and feed a power punch fast and precise if it doesn’t knock down the opponent your in your range to feed more or evade or go for a takedown or best case they drop just my thoughts great tips
Can you do a video on how to not throw out arms for blocking punches how Darren Till just got KOd I'm not dissing huge fan of his just saw this I tend to do this sometimes in sparring and partner drilling thanks for the help and for your time good luck and success
i think Wonderboy Thompson does the first technique. Some call it the zig zag i think. Great tips guys.
Tactic 1, sidestep. Tactic 2, use + on block buttons. Tactic 3 whiff punish
Make a video on GGG's boxing skill and power.
With step 3 draw in, also watch out for a sweep to the inside leg since your weight is on the front foot.
Hey Shane sorry this question has nothing to do with the video but what kind of mats do you have? I’m trying I get some decent ones for my garage.
i got in a fight today it is fun to get in fights

Shane I know that many fans have asked you why don’t you do some MMA fights. However, I just saw your sparring video with kwonkicker and was wondering why don’t you try fighting for Bellator Kickboxing? I was thinking throughout the whole sparring video about how you’d be a problem for those guys. Honestly! Just food for thought Shane. Hope to one day do a video or two with you!
