In this video, I break down the most important details of how to block punches and kicks the right way—because if you’re doing it wrong, you’re setting yourself up to get knocked out.
I show you step-by-step how I blocked shots in MMA and kickboxing, and why things like pressing your hand directly against your head are a big mistake (you’ll feel the full force go right through). I cover blocking knees, body shots, head kicks—you name it. This is the real stuff that works in the fight.
I also discuss how I prefer to respond after blocking, because when I throw a kick, I want my opponent to feel it and fear it. That’s how you get inside their head and take control of the fight.
✅ How to block punches to the head
✅ How to block kicks to the body
✅ Step-by-step defensive positioning
✅ How to turn the block into counters
Fight metrics indicate that I hold the highest striking accuracy in MMA (70.6%) to this day. This is mainly because I prefer to counter every move my opponent throws.
More ways to counter are coming in another video.
Don’t skip this if you’re serious about improving your defense.
