Transcripts
Jonathan Hagerty is my favorite kind of
fighter one who throws ludicrous strikes
bordering on insulting but who sets them
up with ingenious tactics when most
start training in martial arts they want
to land the most spectacular moves all
the time but soon realize after a
sparring session or two that these are
just too blatant too well telegraphed to
pull off consistently but it's like
hackery noticed this and said pulled my
beer I'm going to do them anyways and
created a bunch of Highly Technical and
elaborate setups just so we could smash
Hammer elbows into competitors faces and
not just any competitors he's taken out
some of the highest level muy thae
fighters on the planet here's a great
example of a ridiculous elbow from
hager's fight against leri Hager steps
back into his Southpaw to load up a rear
leg roundhouse kick once he's
established this as a threat he fakes a
kick to draw the classic roundhouse
defense a cover block and cross Parry
the cross Parry opens up leri's left
side and Hagerty shears an elbow across
his chin disrup the timing ofi but he's
also gaining his own timing he's able to
figure out that forward pressure fromi
setting up a certain kind of threat so
that an opponent gets used to reacting
to it is called conditioning hagy
conditions his opponents to certain
strikes so that he can throw another
strike to take them by
surprise he has a lot of ways to do this
here he faints the switch kick if he can
draw a check he's effectively locked his
competitor and place since it's hard to
move around on one foot and he could
follow up based on whatever their guard
defense is a high guard can be broken
through while a long guard is open to
crosses here's another great setup that
har seems to prefer to use against
southp he'll condition them for a lead
leg roundhouse but next time front kick
to the face in Muay Thai disconect
actually be considered a bit of an
insult it should be clear that Hagerty
is a better conditioner than panten Prov
V and the true power of conditioning an
opponent happens when you can set up
multiple different kinds of Power shots
off the same setups this is known as
pairing against Andra he worked off the
jab pairing different combinations
[Applause]
Andra became so conditioned to shelling
up to protect against the jab that
hackery was able to Simply reach out his
lead hand to get him to Shell up and
establish a clinch pulling his unlucky
opponent into a hard body KN a minute
later he used A variation he jabbed then
fainted a clinch Andra backed up and
lowered his guard but haggardi kept his
hands in his face hiding a lead leg
roundhouse that completely
discombobulated
him goes forward
[Applause]
the fight ended shortly
[Applause]
after but hard's greatest weapon when it
comes to conditioning is his te that's a
front kick to us 90s karate kids in the
best case scenario his opponent will try
to grab his teeth only to find out two
late that the kick was never
coming even a slight delay a break of
the opponent's Rhythm for an instant can
leave Hagerty a second ahead so he could
land even if they're throwing a counter
that would have otherwise
worked now check out just how many
attacks hagy can pair off of his teep
faint each one requires a different
defense from the opponent so the viable
threat of a te can lead to multiple
threats in the event the te is
fainted yes I a flowchart but I really
thought it would be a good way to
conceptualize how you should think of
setting up exchanges in this instance it
shows how you can overwhelm opponents
with options like hagy I go more into
all of these Concepts in my new book
build your fight style if you're
interested is linked below the important
thing here is that the entire rest of
the chart built off fainting the tee
would not work if his actual tee was not
a very big threat there's no point in
reacting to a move that doesn't hurt and
if Hager had a bad tee his opponents
wouldn't react to it at all at all when
he fainted
it so why is it so effective hager's
leadle te is built off the same
principles as taan chai's side tee while
Hagerty stays squared up in keeping with
his style both Fighters cheat distance
and start with less prep by raising
their leg first and then regaining their
balance with the midair pendulum swing
driving their hips up to regain their
balance it's like a more streamlined
version of hopping in with it the great
boxer Ricardo Lopez even used the same
pendulum trick with punches the result
is a smooth initiation with little to no
telegraphing that cat his opponents by
surprise but there's one move set up off
the te I've waited to talk about because
it's the best one this is the te faint
into a downward elbow he glues his hands
to his Temple and then whirls the elbow
like an
overhand Hager is expecting his opponent
to Long block to try to create distance
so he'll trap his opponent's wrist and
angle his elbows over or inside of their
other arm El
from and elbow from the
English elb elbow down elbow he cracked
him at
Beauty this can work just as well with
punches as demonstrated in hager's quick
battle against the great Muay Thai
Champion Nong
o multi-time kickboxing champion and
many Time guest on our Channel Gabriel
Varga said that he thinks that ties have
trouble against boxing when they get
hurt because they aren't as familiar
with high guards if you're not watching
his channel already I've left a link
below is a wealth of Knowledge from an
experienced Champion now his opinion
could be controversial but whether you
agree with Gabriel or not the difference
in how hager's opponents reacted to
getting rocked versus how hagard himself
reacted during his last fight when he
was rocked really makes a great case for
his point nong's longard was doing him
no favors while hay was trying to finish
him
[Applause]
in contrast when Hagerty got rocked by
Lobo he was able to stay reactive and
able to use his high guard not only to
defend but to counter he sent short
elbows down the center line that were
available right from his guard position
letting his elbows and high guard work
in tandem
and he turned with his opponent's
punches sometimes chaining it right into
a spinning elbow Lobo brought out the
wolf in hagri and he rallied back to
land a terrific and well-earned
[Applause]
KO that's why I love watching Fighters
like Hagerty they can blend Savage
fighting with intelligent tactics and
this is where you find the AR heart in
martial arts Hagerty is putting his one
Muay Thai World title on the line
against current kickboxing champion
super Le the kicking machine this will
be in the US in September I'm going to
be buying tickets to be there in person
if my schedule allows and I would highly
recommend catching this fight one way or
another info link below also Hagerty has
a bunch of seminars online which made my
job a bit too easy this time so be sure
to look those up if you're interested in
his style from the modern martial artist
this has Ben David Christian Wishing you
happy train
