Uncontrolled fighter

[Muaythaiboxer]

when im sparring untrained fighters i like to go to the clinch and do lots of knees.

[mai tai]

i agree. most people can stand and slug it out few can operate well in a tai clinch.

 

are we taking about people being jerks in the ring (them going 100% when you guys agreed on %

 

or are we takling about flury opon flury of blows.

 

if so

 

when someone is raining shots on you and you cover you must break up their combo.

 

i ussually turn slightly to the right with my left in the cover and throw a straight right or an uppercut. if ther are going nuts on you you ussally have a shot sraigt down broadway.

 

before the get to you say out of ther range for a while. if you stay back most over agressive guys really want to hit you so they will over extend, now attack.

 

also practice pivoting out of danger and moving laterally. i know thats easy to say and hard to do. all of us take a step back every now and then its the natural reaction to a charging oppnent (silva vs belfort)

when someone ran at me and I couldn't clinch because of rules, I kicked them right in the middle of the face with a front kick. When they look up at you from the flat of their back a time or two, they tend to settle down a little.

lol thats cool, i have never had much luck with head kicks in full contact though.

When I used to spar, I was uncontrolled for the first week or two, but then I got myself under control with instruction. Try to talk to your friend about it, if that doesn't work, try "aggresive negociations"

I used to spar this roommate who was a kung fu guy. He had a wicked, seemingly-uncontrolled windmill hammer fist thing going. He would just be raining these overhead hammer fists down on top of your head. If you've ever been struck on the top of your head, you know it will send you to your knees. I couldn't figure out how to put up a good umbrella of blocks -- it was pretty intimidating. Then I looked at the whole picture and realized nothing was going on below the waist, so I kicked him just above the groin. He got the point.

Fury is hard to defend against. Wait for your opportunity, until your uncontrolled opponent overcommits, then unleash some fury of your own and go for some vital points or joint locks that will wake them up.

Shock and awe, boys, shock and awe.
