@@Blandified for some reason i cannot find it. Its not smth special, it just works really well in a southpaw position. Your lead hands are aligned, so every time i would get jabbed, i would parry and strike in one motion which is what mike explained in that video. You need to connect your parry motion and jab motion so it becomes one. It has counters and if you overuse it they can try to bait you with fakes and punish you, but its the number 1 thing i do in sparring.

Mike's stuff is always really well thought out. That said, I'm not sure that I'd be comfortable pulling (as opposed to slipping or parrying) against a straight punch, but that's more about my own lack of elusiveness than a criticism of the technique. More than anything this video reminds me why I train for ambidexterity. LOL

Front leg side kicks to the face and body are also really effective from the inside position. Worth trying out.

Hey Mike. I’ve been loving your channel. I had a topic that I’d like to know your opinion on. Its similar to what you’ve talked about in how to store weapons in your car. What are the worst places to conceal self defense tools/weapons on your person? The one that always comes to my mind are ankle holsters for pistols

Great video

I will now use this as a southpaw. Thanks Mike, you goofball

Neat! Personally i go with the 1,2,3 (to the body) as well as spin back kick, liver destruction

Goof video! All the techniques are solid. I loved the comment about the inside crescent kick. I have used one for years and have yet to see someone go: Oh, it's only a crescent kick. And I have never said that about a kick coming at my head. I have said meh about a few punches (and also been wrong about them. Ouchie) but not a kick coming at my face. Things to consider, probably to be covered in future videos are that Southpaws are more likely to be somewhat ambidextrous because life forces us to be that way. And are more likely to be counter punchers. That could just be me. And I am a sample size of 1. I was mostly thinking: Lead hook to head and shovel hook to body. Again, sample size of 1. I am not a power hitter. I am a grinder.

icy Mike got me in the gym practicing spinning axe kicks

Is that envy I hear in your voice? Thanks for the counter tips!

What do you think about throwing a lead leg side kick to the body from that inside position (aside from "side kicks don't work")?

This is a great vid

Another great way to keep south paws from being too quick to counter with that left on the inside is toe kicks to the mid section. Or if you're feeling especially sadistic, to the outer thigh of their rear leg. South paw rear legs are generally much less conditioned than even an orthodox rear leg is to leg kicks.

thoughts on the lead leg push kick and front kick from that position? I've had some good success throwing and feinting those since they're lined up well

Like it Ben. Lead Roundhouse To the calf without the hitch step works if you train it.

southpaw here and love you content from the beginning.

Also with your feet to the inside you can sway left and throw the lead body hook to his liver. Southpaws put their livers right there for you to punch them. Also you can step under his straight left and throw the lead roundhouse to the liver

More tips for the lefthanded I see, great.

Another option instead of throwing the front wheel kick or roundhouse whichever you prefer to call it, is to simply throw a side kick. With the southpaws foot outside your front foot, the front wheel kick is kind of jammed since it has limited to space to execute it. A side kick however, travelers straight and with a deeps enough chamber can be executed from this position and hits with greater authority than a front wheel kick.

I'm South paw myself and short fighter like icy mike so I understand where he's coming from

Im a disgusting creature as you described and I don't know if this translate to KB or MMA as well as boxing, but the diamond step jab always worked for me when outside step is taken.

Miiiike, you could shift to a side stance and throw a sidekick or side teep off that pull hehe

@@Last_Chance. not necessarily, a catch can be a possibility. But if that are committed to that cross, which is a higher chance than not, a pull and stance shift simultaneously puts you a good position for a kick they either dont expect and/or see, otherwise the same can be said for his round kick demonstrated. Also, you can use it to create distance if needed.

OMG the tilt your head thing 😂 i do that alot 💀 I'm orthodox but sometimes, i switch to southpaw, because at my level, people usually don't train from both sides, so southpaw gives hell lot of advantage to me and i do this tilt head alot 💀 works 98% times

the man has the voice and energy of Bill Burr but the knowledge and commitment of Musashi

What he is talking about at 3:05 would actually be a good application for a lead side kick, despite my agreeing the front kick is better.

I like fighting southpaw, because I spent 3 years doing fencing and my jabs are crisp.

You know what kick that yall, u and Seth, love so much, works well from the inside👀👀⁉️ yup that's right, that filthy and forbidden side kick, it can even kinda like a short and stiff hook kicky to kinda stop your opponent moving forward or to work the body

So, what would be wrong with stepping your right foot out, a jab to pin that left hand, maybe even a control to pull that left hand down, boom comes the right hand, a pivot to put you 90 degrees to you opponents left, in a no mans land position. hooks,uppercuts left body kicks and both leg kicks now available?

hop turn kick also works from the inside.

I have this sparring partner that keeps getting me with liver punches/almost illegal kidney shots. He is a south paw and he keeps kind of going around my guard and hitting my ribs on the right. The problem is this kid is a heavy weight and keeps fucking my ribs up. He has injured me twice now. Is that punch even legal in boxing? It happens when I try to pressure him. Should I just stay outside and change my game plan?

Me when I can apply all of these as a southpaw 😈😈

Have you tried stepping back and becoming southpaw

Pssssst....Southpaw insider secret from a south paw- destroy a South paw from the inside by half-switching/pendulum kicking the inside of their rear leg. You risk running into that right hand but if you commit and walk through, can spin for a sweep, or force them to move into a spinning heel/backfist or all kinds of weird close range nonsense that might make them think twice about trying to achieve that position. Works both ways

Before the video starts, I’m not a professional but I assume pivoting towards the backhand off of the lead foot and stepping back resets the engagement and if you don’t overuse it it’ll create a decent opening because it’ll kind of leave your opponent in an orthodox stance

I don’t like these options 😢

When a southpaw steps right to get lead foot advantage, it’s best to launch a left hand AS he is moving, BEFORE his foot hits the ground. Not step then throw. After the right foot hits the canvass and the southpaw withdraws the left It’s perfect for a lead inside uppercut. Hagler used to do it all the time, and Holly Holm used it a lot when she was boxing.

As a SouthPaw. My greatest advantage were. Listening to my Boxing Trainer. Listening to my Sensei when I took various different types of Martial Arts. Learning how to fight both right handed and left handed and that took me a long time. Learning in boxing how to throw and offensive jab and a defensive jab. Learning my foot work. The list goes on and on and on. The reason is that it does not matter if you are a righty or a lefty. As long as you are trained to understand the situation you are in... You will be fine. What you have shown was shown by the old timers in boxing. Something that is not well taught anymore. So thanks for showing people on this.

Fighting while your foe is in control... Is this the BJJ equivalent of kickboxing? BKB? Sounds like a boy band!

Just give away my entire southpaw game why don't ya Actually that's not true. I don't spin to win or crescent kick very often.
