UFC 170 Pyle Vs Waldbuger with Tutorial

Saturday was UFC 170. It's Main Card boasted Rousey and Mcmann, a fight that ended a tad unsatified. My favorite fight however was Pyle Vs Waldburger.

I went to the bar with a few students to catch the fight... And the tipping point for this particular bout when unnoticed by most. Even the commentators let it go by the wayside... Probably because, if I am remembering correctly... It actually landed on the back of the neck... Making it TECHNICALLY illegal. But because of the nature of the move, it was unavoidable.

Pyle used a spin elbow from a captured leg. It was THIS spin elbow that allowed him to capitalize and rain down punches from above that eventually led to a referee stoppage.

Here is a video I've created on how you can accomplish a similar thing to what Pyle did in that fight. Like it, Share it, Enjoy it!

Sparring with the Superman Punch With Vid Link




The Superman punch it a move that is rather well known at this point. Anyone that has watched more than one UFC fight knows of its existence... and has probably even it a whirl once or twice. But the key to the superman punch oddly has little to do with having the coordination to accomplish the move, nay, I will say that the superman punch exists in the set up... rather than the move itself.

In the Video below we cover what it takes to set up the superman punch properly. As you will see, the idea is to use your kicks, consistently throughout the match, to cause your opponent to expect the kick in general. Once the "Ambiance" of the kick is created, you can then throw the superman punch. This causes the opponent to lower his guard in expectation of the kick, allowing the effectiveness of the punch to be at its highest.
