A Deep Dive into Modern Self-Defence: Unpacking TJ Dillashaw’s High Kick Setup
When it comes to modern self-defence, martial artists are ever on the lookout for techniques capable of gaining a tactical edge during a confrontation or a sparring session. In a recent video by Jeff Chan of MMAShredded, he shares a punch, a high kick setup technique that he apparently picked from none other than TJ Dillashaw. This technique offers a unique blend of striking and evasion skill set, which when applied correctly, has immense potential when it comes to neutralizing an opponent. The video, though brief, is loaded with key details that can help any practitioner enhance their martial arts repertoire. TJ Dillashaw’s High Kick Setup Technique Unveiled The kick setup is a two-part technique, featuring a masterful mix of tact, precision, and evasion. The first part is the punch that is used as a deceptive manoeuvre designed to distract or throw off an opponent’s guard. Keeping your opponent off balance and misinterpreting your intentions is crucial in instances of self-defence. The second part is the kick, which is executed lightning fast following the punch. It targets the opponent’s head-a critical knockout point. Applying a high kick after a punch, particularly when the opponent is thrown off balance, significantly increases the chances of effectively neutralizing the threat. Another notable aspect of this technique is the positional set-up. TJ Dillashaw uses a left-orthodox stance to deliver both the punch and kick. The ‘Orthodox’ stance refers to a strategy favoured by right-handed warriors, standing with the left foot forward and fists vertically aligned. It offers them maximum stability and striking power. Application in Modern Self-Defence Although this technique sprouts from the MMA scene, which is a sport, it can be effectively incorporated into real-life defence scenarios. The power to deceive an opponent and strike with precision and power is as useful in the ring as it is on a lonely, dimly lit street. The deceptive punch serves to confuse and distract, leading the assailant to underestimate or misjudge the severity of the incoming attack. The high kick, with its power and suddenness, delivers a potential knockout. This technique is especially handy considering that high kicks are not generally expected in self-defence situations. Practice makes Perfect What was demonstrated by Jeff is a thoughtful and well-rehearsed technique. For anyone aspiring to add it to their combat toolbox, thorough practice is vital. Striking and kicking with effect and accuracy, while simultaneously managing timing and distance, call for repetition, focus and constant fine-tuning. Mastering this technique offers an edge in self-defence situations β but never forget the tenets of respect, restraint and responsibility that lie at the heart of martial arts. Your skills are meant to protect you and others, not to be used for unchecked aggression. In conclusion, learning and honing a versatile striking technique undoubtedly lifts one’s self-defence game. Mixing tactics and techniques, as eloquently demonstrated by Jeff Chan, is not only a testament to the evolution of martial arts but also a clear reflection of how modern self-defence has come to embrace the principles of tactical deception, precision strikes, and evasion.MMA Block
