Question for Viewers: if you had a free shot, what would you do?

FireEagle Fitness &Martial Arts says:

I use to give my back in sparring all the time intentionally, just to see what people would do. They never took advantage of it.
When you first asked Shane about the free shot from the back, my mind did go wwe and thought german suplex. Or kick their leg out.

Jamie London says:

– Free shot from behind in serious self-defence scenario: kick to the groin or RNC, depending on situation (namely number of potential threats).
– Less serious scenario (i. e. breaking up a fight between 'friends'): pull shoulders back and down while (stop)kicking standing leg.
– From catching the leg and taking the back in sports fight: depends on rule set, i. e. sweep or RNC for grappling, but I really like the version in the video, as well.
– Defence against video version: Moving away (as shown) is great. Another alternative would be a spinning back fist (like Bas Rutten liked to do). Pretty good chances of catching an over eager pursuer, though somewhat higher risk than just moving away.

PS: Perfect outro! 😉

Mister says:

5:50 well I'd say that balance and control over your opponent and more importantly over yourself matters a lot if you want to really finish him off. That flying punch is very unreliable because you pretty much lose control of the situation. You're flying. He can just flinch while you do that which will make him impossible to knock out like that because there is (as you said) no power.
In conclusion imo if you think that if you've got to their back – it's over. And that it means you can do whatever the fuck you want. Think again.

George says:

It takes at least two to do the thrust of freedom.

Andreas Kure says:

Makes the most icy mike technique: "Do you think this technique is good enough to go on Fight Tip?"

Shane: "Uhmmm…"

Boom outro.

You had me in tears. 😂

Andreas Kure says:

Isn't targeting the back in Muay Thai an illegal move? Yeah in MMA it's a near free-for-all as long as you don't go for the spine.

GunterDaPenguin says:

Honestly, if I got a free shot from behind that's probably one of the few times I would use grappling in a street fight, he had a perfect position to either throw him, drag him down, or kick behind the knee and apply a rear naked this way he should be out in seconds and would probably 'win' you thr fight faster

Class A Halimaw says:

Nice collaboration

snazdog dbfan says:

Jumping 12 to 6

elearis1 says:

Side kick to the back ^^/

MrFalk358 says:

what about a standing RNC? you can pretty much guarantee to choke the guy out (if you know how to apply it properly), and you got a bodyshield in case someone else starts attacking you. Plus your not stuck on the ground and can just let go if you get into trouble and need to box

JAMES ALEXANDER says:

Bing Bop Bam Bop. Hanson have really let themselves go

Vintagegamer says:

Mike is the GOAT. My wrestling coach entered me in a kickboxing tournament (won last week)for my cardio, took 3 months of Kyokushin Karate, Boxing, and binged your Dirty Boxing videos and managed to turn my trex arms into an advantage. Thanks.

justin fuller says:

i think the answer is the nuts honestly

SpaceLee 905 says:

Great collab keep up the great content

Deus-Stein says:

If they're attacking your wife the last thing you want to do is kick them into your wife, like the side kick to his back. What if they're holding a knife? you want to move them away from whoever they might be attacking

Song Osun says:

The best technique when you have someone's back is just the rear naked choke 😎👍
