    I've been doing Wado Ryu Karate for going on two years, and you pretty much went over my game plan for sparring in this video. By the way, I've watched your videos for a couple of months and I've started incorporating some of your Dutch Kickboxing techniques from other vids. I've seen a lot of improvement in sparring. People back up a lot more haha. I appreciate it.

    I hope I am not giving away all your secrets then ha ha. Seriously though, I am really made up to hear you have both been enjoying the vids and found them of such great use in your own training. That is exactly why I put all the effort in with this channel, in the hope that the content is of use to people! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I hope you continue to enjoy all the videos going forward!!

    Great to hear, as I said in this video, I do tend to put labels on things at times (I am a list kind of person) in order to try and help people understand concepts etc more. Kickboxing is kickboxing but just like music, there are different rhythms, aspects etc which can be really good to cross train between!!

    Great stuff. In free style there are basically two main stances. Forward stance for "blitz", which is a fast hand attack. It is forward to allow both hands to be used and also to being able to block the possible side kick counter. The second stance is a side ways stance presented in this video, that is being used for long range kicks. A good point fighter combines these two stances seamlessly. When distance closes in he changes to "blitz" and when the distance is longer he changes to side-ways. A classic combo would be a side kick from the side-ways stance, return leg to forward stance and continue with hands.

    Michael Venom Page, Raymond Daniels, and Stephen Thompson are experts at this but use them all differently. Page is typically very low-volume and waits for the KO counter, Daniels is much more ready to throw crazy far range techniques, and Thompson uses combinations.

    I just found out that my style is freestyle kickboxing, I always felt more elusive/defensive than Muay Thai and more long ranged that Dutch Kickboxing; even that I don't knew that this style existed until yesterday that I stumble upon a Venom Page interview. As a right handed southpaw I have a very good jab and a very good lead kick, so this style is perfect for me, as I can gain some power on my rear (weak) hand/kick with the spinning motions. Is true, I have difficult time figthing in the pocket, and my response to that is going to clinch and throw some knees (and body shoots), until I can sweep down my opponent or push him to regain my posture/distance. Anyways, thank you so much for this tutorial, you don't know how much this reassure me as a fighter.

    I am not sure if it is a real term to be honest, it is just something I call this particular style of kickboxing. It is definitely not a bad thing per se though and is well utilised by a increasingly large number of fighters from across a number of different combat sport platforms. What interview were you reading? Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I am really glad you enjoyed it!!

    It is a good question but in my opinion, this and true Muay Thai are nearly pretty much polar opposites with regards to the stance. Because of the nature of Thai, you have to keep a shorter, more forward based stance due to the knees and clinch aspect of the rule set. Being able to switch between the two is often what causes people problems. K1 or Dutch Style kickboxing is as close a time as you will see a hybrid, where you see low kicks and knees alongside the side kicks. They will however have to transition their stance regularly in order to do this, no one single stance can effectively utilise all the different attacks effectively. Hope this helps!

    Darren Till is a good example of someone who was really good at Muay Thai and adopted a more bladed stance. I'd say shifting between the two stances for different situations would work. Do what works for you

    David Ryger Personally I like standing more bladed because I like fighting on the outside at a distance and also I feel like I can move in and out a lot faster. Ever since I started training that's been how I was taught to stand though. I started in boxing in 2000 and it was a bladed stance that they taught me. I feel like I have more range of motion for head movement also. A lot of lefties do tend to stand bladed honestly I couldn't tell you why lol. I'd guess it's something to do with the angles for you guys. I'm orthodox myself but find this stance most comfortable. A lot of people get weirded out I use this stance and style but I'm a HW lol

    David Ryger training with point style karate or even TKD guys would definitely help you out. If you can find a good boxing gym that teaches from a more bladed stance that would work wonders for your hands and head movement as well. Good luck and keep training!
