let's do that let's do that all right okay okay superman punch all right superman punch first
00:01:03.560
thing you're gonna do okay you need to set the table before you do anything all right in fighting
00:01:08.920
because if you try to go right away it won't work so first thing you're gonna do you're gonna learn
00:01:14.200
how to do a leg kick okay okay okay so what you're gonna do is you're gonna step out the center
00:01:19.560
it's a little bit like when you you know like you you kick a soccer ball like show me how you
00:01:24.620
would kick a soccer ball like this right with your heel no no like this like a penalty oh yeah
00:01:29.240
like that yeah no you're gonna swing like swing with your arm swing with a real penalty how would
00:01:34.880
you do it yeah all right good enough sorry I'm so stiff I don't got athleticism to me so the same
00:01:41.600
move you're gonna do the same move but you're gonna kick the tie of the opponent okay you can kick
00:01:46.680
the tie or you can kick the permanent nerve where when it numbs the the leg but we're not gonna go
00:01:51.540
that far so we're gonna do the tie because it's okay so what I'm gonna do okay I'm gonna step out
00:01:56.220
the center line because I don't want to be in front of you because you can punch me so I step out the
00:02:01.940
center line and I kick okay so what are you gonna do that so if I'm kicking my right foot I go left or
00:02:08.220
right go this way so you want to get out the center line yeah so imagine I'm throwing a punch you want
00:02:13.120
to get out the center line and kick here okay got it just do it do it do it do it slowly and and
00:02:17.920
see the motion like this exactly on the pad okay my bad yeah yeah no it's all good with that okay
00:02:24.520
perfect but but when you do it now it's good but you stay in the center line so I gotta step out you
00:02:29.140
step out the center line yeah step out the center line okay yes do it again that's it I can do it again
00:02:36.820
that's good so let's say in a fight you've been doing this a few times so that the guy's legs start
00:02:42.400
to work yeah yeah how many kicks does it usually take to chop down your leg one one kick one good
00:02:47.860
kick it does that job it'll do the job yeah you you kick the vmo the not the vmo the the the the
00:02:55.000
the abductor muscle it is it does a good job or you kick the permanent nerve right here what's the
00:03:01.120
hardest kick you've ever received see I go all this when I take you in the in the in the in the
00:03:07.480
yeah doctor I I hit one of his kick and I'm like I don't want to get another one he was bad so every
00:03:12.520
time he threw a kick I was blitzing in but so so let's say you've been kicking me a few times do do
00:03:18.160
it again okay yes do it again yeah so what's gonna happen is now I'm gonna you're gonna create a fear
00:03:25.840
because I don't want to be kicked so I'm gonna have a reaction to that cake or you might switch
00:03:30.820
stance a little people do right exactly yeah so now you planted the seed you put me exactly where
00:03:36.100
you wanted to be okay okay now you're gonna use the superman punch that's a perfect time to do
00:03:40.660
the superman punch so the superman punch imagine you were together go next to me you're here so what
00:03:46.780
you're gonna do is you're gonna lift your knee like you imagine the same motion you kick but then you're
00:03:52.000
gonna lift your knee and punch okay so you use the same leg to kick and create the power okay okay
00:04:01.300
show me how you would do the superman punch like this like that yeah but you see you kick it in front
00:04:07.000
of you kick it like a horse now you can't get further so do the same thing we'll do together here lift
00:04:15.820
your knee okay and then my knee kick yes oh like superman yeah just in front of you yes you see you
00:04:27.100
you stretch yourself like a cobra you know got it come down so it's very effective right yeah do it
00:04:33.200
again lift your knee yeah don't lift it here lift it in front of you got it I got it I will mess up
00:04:40.240
yep like that yeah no yes okay so okay let's do the superman punch oh that's it do it again that was not
00:04:48.220
superman punch though no no it's all right that's it do it again so do it more in there in front of
00:04:55.480
you because you want to mimic like a kick to the leg laughing at me go like this and push yes okay now
00:05:03.460
we're gonna put it all together okay let's do it let's do it the kick yes give me another kick
00:05:09.880
yeah now superman punch ah nice let's go not good can I see yours now yeah put it here I'm not gonna
00:05:19.160
kick you for real though okay um so do do it the other side because we've been doing that yeah of
00:05:25.200
course so imagine I'm in a fight with you okay I'm here and then I pretend I kick you in the leg
00:05:30.560
bam exactly see your reaction uh-huh then I kick you in the leg again you see that's when I would
00:05:36.100
I will use it oh I see you see you are here boom because what what hurts really it's what you don't
00:05:42.660
see coming gotcha if I if I come here and I punch you the hardest I can you'll see it coming you'll
00:05:47.820
roll with a shot got it but if I if I create a distraction and you look at boom or I create a
00:05:53.820
distraction and I go you don't see it coming that's what gonna put your lights out got it so that's
00:05:58.920
the first lesson of the day let's go to a grappling technique now let's do it let's do it how about
00:06:05.620
uh the famous word naked choke the it's the real name is adhaka jimmy agada jimmy adhaka abdaka
00:06:13.440
adhaka jimmy abdaka jimmy yes yes so to practice it go on on your knees okay so you see the line of
00:06:21.240
your chest that goes to your belly right okay so I'm here I want to pass my elbow okay and point
00:06:28.680
with that line okay once I'm here I'm gonna lock on my on my arm here put the blade of my of my arm
00:06:36.260
behind you and now the way I exert a force is not by pulling is by crunching just tap tap when it when
00:06:42.460
you feel I go slowly sorry sorry what the yeah yeah if you go hard it takes one through ten how
00:06:51.840
much strength was that no it's nothing but I just gradually but but it will put it will take me
00:06:57.760
three seconds to put you to sleep I've done it in nightclub when I was walking in the day oh and
00:07:02.300
you put the guy to sleep yes because it's a great way so you don't you don't have to damage the person
00:07:08.140
if it's on drugs something you don't feel the pain you pull like this oh you're not gonna hurt them
00:07:13.600
because you can you can hurt them by hit punching them but you want to do that you don't want to
00:07:17.140
leave any trace right you know because he can sue you and everything you know yeah however if you
00:07:23.380
choke someone something if they have a condition it's it's unlikely but they can die or if they
00:07:28.200
have a gum inside you have to make sure after you pass out to take off the gum or the mouthpiece
00:07:32.960
if it's in a fight the mouthpiece wow so wait how do I put you in that yeah let's do it okay
00:07:37.580
you're gonna make me tap today let's go all right so how do I do it pass okay first you pass your arm
00:07:42.960
my right arm yeah your right arm or left this goes around your neck right yeah your elbow you see your
00:07:47.260
elbow here yeah your elbow here to to go in line with my with yeah exactly with the line yeah with
00:07:54.100
the line exactly lock on this like this no no on your own arm on your own arm on my arm okay like this
00:08:00.640
no on your this one here oh okay okay yes now you put the blade behind here and now you don't pull
00:08:06.960
a lot of people they pull now crunch for it crunch yes that worked yeah I got you yeah no very good
00:08:13.780
very good if if let's say let's say you do that well you can put a guy to sleep in about
00:08:21.140
three seconds three five seconds trees if I do to you three seconds you go to sleep but if you I train
00:08:29.120
my neck so maybe it will take longer for you to to do it I have trick to get out but you know when
00:08:34.340
when Khabib got uh the guillotine by um dustin do you remember that yes he didn't go to sleep no
00:08:41.120
because you have many ways to escape but he but he was in that for like more than three after I don't
00:08:45.540
know how many seconds it was yeah but a guillotine it's a different pressure this this is yeah this
00:08:51.760
I'll show you here yeah yeah if you want yeah the proper way to do it the proper way to do it
00:08:58.760
so let's say let's say go on uh on your on your okay I'll show you how to do it so the way I show
00:09:10.760
you it's very very uh elementary very beginning very beginning so what I do is I pass my arm I go here
00:09:16.720
okay and you see for an expert I don't want to do this and go here because you're going to grab my
00:09:21.940
arm right grab it and now it's a struggle for me to get out so I want once I pass my arm here I want
00:09:27.180
to go behind your head so you don't you don't try to grab my arm now you can't you see because I go
00:09:33.200
here and I pass here so what once once I get you here once I get you here I can go on my and now I
00:09:40.420
don't I don't squeeze yet I put I put what one one hooks in go the other side with the other hooks
00:09:47.900
in and now I can squeeze in no that's that's how you work that's how you finish the job that's how
00:09:57.840
I beat for example Michael Bisping yeah that's when you you because if I only use the upper body
00:10:03.360
you you will be able to move and escape if you're if if you know how to do it so the goal is so how do
00:10:09.440
I get out of that from if how do I get out of that or I'm well it's a little bit like uh
00:10:16.100
how do you say a tarpet a tarp you know like if you if you just sink in your foot it's easier the
00:10:25.880
the earlier you get it the better it is to the easier it is to get up but if you wait until you
00:10:31.960
underneath like you you get into the tarp and you're you cannot breathe and it goes over it's crazy
00:10:37.720
because I know you're saying like you you're barely doing it and you're like it's not about
00:10:40.860
the strength it's about the technique because yeah I can start feeling be starting it's getting
00:10:43.720
black yeah you see what I'm saying because like it's all about the technique so it's kind of
00:10:47.240
really hard to get out of that and you're saying the guillotine is it's a way different technique
00:10:50.600
because why it's just a different part of it it's different technique so so let's say you got me
00:10:54.080
got me uh here put your legs put your legs here right here yeah okay so so so the first thing for me
00:11:01.800
go to choke me the first like the first step is to catch an arm you want to you you want to grab
00:11:07.300
my arm yeah you never want to get the you let the guy get into your neck here okay especially here
00:11:13.420
okay and even if I'm here you can choke me because of my jaw oh that's what if you know how to do it
00:11:19.420
I'll shoot it yeah but you need to know how to do it if you don't know it would it will not work so
00:11:24.720
got it the first thing when you come try to choke me I grab the arm and I lean even if you try
00:11:31.640
try to get me here you see I use the arm and I go here and now we're in a race to see who's
00:11:37.480
going to come back on top now I'm on top of you you see so go here okay get me get me here try to
00:11:48.500
choke me so I get the arm same thing try to choke me so I use the arm I deflect you let's say you you
00:11:55.160
come on top this time come on top this time I use I use my leg to put you in a ankle like and to
00:12:01.540
break your legs so so so there there's that's crazy many many many different ways how to get
00:12:07.380
out all right crazy but let's say you're someone get your okay yeah remember to be here so how do I
00:12:14.600
do across my arms like this cross your arm not too much but just just like gently to put your arm
00:12:19.600
your your hands here you know like this yeah so let's say I go to grab you to catch my wrist
00:12:26.160
you want to catch my wrist yeah now let's say I'm already here my legs pass it on the other side
00:12:32.660
of your head which one right or left my my my arm pass my arm on the yeah and grab it with both of
00:12:37.840
your hand what about that hand though you have a hand free it's okay but bridge bridge on your head
00:12:42.520
bridge bridge and now bridge and turn turn turn on top of me turn on top of me yes now you're out
00:12:50.020
now we're in a fight got it yeah exactly I don't want that though so so to get out usually you just
00:12:56.400
always want to have so it doesn't matter if you have one hand free what could you with that hand
00:12:59.880
though if I'm there's big difference and that's the thing in grappling you're not allowed to hit
00:13:07.780
but in an MMA you'll you'll have to take a few punches yeah and there's a saying that in MMA that
00:13:15.060
you can take a black belt but when you start punching it punching him it becomes a white belt
00:13:22.840
so so a lot of guys have a hard time doing the transition you know what I mean it's uh it's not
00:13:29.280
made for everyone it depends of how you what you're made of and and what is your background you know
00:13:34.840
it's not everyone in for example in jujitsu or wrestling that's gonna be good and you know in MMA
00:13:40.340
and same thing in karate and taekwondo that are that guys that are very good strikers but
00:13:44.900
once you put your their hand into on them it's I get it yeah it's a whole different game absolutely
00:13:50.300
what do you have to anyone that wants to aspire to be a fighter that watches this or this clip
00:13:53.800
whatever it is what what advice do you have to give to them about getting into MMA well if you
00:13:58.000
want to be a fighter I mean it's a very very tough journey and and it's it's normally gonna be a
00:14:05.000
you're gonna have a lot of people that tells you that it's impossible to don't do it and it's not
00:14:11.300
because they don't like you it's because they actually love you and they don't wish they know
00:14:15.800
the odds of success is very bad the the risk of and reward is very negative normally yeah but if
00:14:22.100
you really want to do this you're gonna have to to go through a lot of pain and I'm not saying
00:14:27.800
physic physical pain a lot of emotional pain it's a lot of humiliation and sometime you you ask yourself
00:14:35.440
if you're good enough to do this because you get discouraged and everything but it's very important
00:14:40.540
that you stay disciplined and you don't ever give up you know it's very important I love that that's
00:14:45.240
great there's a lot of time that I wanted to give up what what made you not want to give up like what
00:14:49.380
what made you push a few things and my discipline and also my my pride I'm a I'm someone especially at
00:14:57.480
not so much now but at the time I had a very big ego I was very proud and when I tell you I'm gonna do
00:15:04.720
something and you tell me it's impossible I love that because if I do it that means I'm the first
00:15:09.860
one to ever done it so so it I use that as something to drive me forward when you have
00:15:16.680
nuggets of people that tells you things that you don't want to hear there's two things that can
00:15:20.080
happen you can either distance yourself from them or in my case it was my own family it was my own my
00:15:26.760
close circle of friend I didn't have a lot of friends at the time so I use instead of distancing
00:15:31.880
me from them I use that a tool to motivate me to prove them wrong I love that there's there's a
00:15:39.340
lot of things like this you can use that to to the motivation tool you know you have you have
00:15:43.780
children right yeah how old are your kids uh five uh 11 8 5 6 5 4 so wait how many is that sorry
00:15:55.100
five five kids yeah yeah and you have boys right at two boys yeah to get to get trigger um your boys
00:16:02.160
if they want to if they come to you one day and say dad I want to be like you and I want to get in
00:16:05.280
the you know fight what what would you tell them I think for for kids I think it's important to always
00:16:12.300
encourage them no matter the path they want to choose but of course if they ask me my advice I will
00:16:20.100
try to convince them to don't not choose the same path that I did because it's it's very hard
00:16:25.720
and the chance of success are are very very unlikely I was able to make a lot of money in this business
00:16:34.320
and to be very successful because I was you know I was extremely disciplined and I work really hard
00:16:39.120
all that it's a cliche but also because I was extremely lucky well I met great people at the right
00:16:45.540
time I was at the right time at the right moment and I believe there's a lot of force that are
00:16:50.960
outside also of my control that contribute to make me who I was and I'm for that I'm very grateful
00:16:56.740
I'm very I feel very lucky but I wouldn't wish the same that someone I love taking the same path the
00:17:05.200
same risk that I took is very hard you know I'd rather them to be in school and study what makes
00:17:11.320
you happy and fulfilled today well I'm happy because I'm very healthy I feel I'm very lucky
00:17:19.240
and I don't mean to be arrogant man I swear I don't wish to be nobody else you know I've yeah
00:17:25.300
a lot of people sometimes they dream they will be someone else like I don't really don't I'm very
00:17:29.280
happy where I am I'm the happiest person in the world right now and I don't mean to say that to sound
00:17:35.080
cocky I really I think before you you learn how to love others you need to learn how to look at
00:17:41.040
yourself in the mirror and to love yourself you know and it's something I've learned through my
00:17:44.840
life growing up I didn't like what I was seeing in the mirror I didn't like it but I I found a way
00:17:50.220
to to love myself and I think it's important a lot of people have issues with that now especially
00:17:55.000
nowadays and this this time that we live in last uh last question for you George um what is some
00:18:02.260
life advice you can give to somebody right now that's watching um that might be
00:19:02.260
You can just go back and repeat what you were saying.
00:19:12.240
Piece of advice for someone in life that might be lost right now and not knowing what they want to do.
00:19:19.920
Well, if they feel depressed, they don't know what they want to do.
00:19:26.360
Or if they don't like what they've seen in the mirror, try to fall in love with who they want to become.
00:19:35.480
They can become that person through different means.
00:19:39.480
They need to find what they love to do, what is their passion.
00:19:44.180
Not what people want you to do, but what you really want to do.
00:19:49.060
Look at yourself in the mirror and be like, hey, what do you want to do?
00:20:01.100
You're always going to have people that are negative that are going to tell you, oh, it's impossible.
00:20:05.400
But use that as a tool to propel yourself, to motivate you.
00:20:09.880
And then once you work very hard and you start having success in what you do,
00:20:15.080
one thing I've done in my career, before spending money on jewelry and flashing out and stuff, invest on yourself.
00:20:21.120
You know, I travel to different countries to learn different skills, different tools.
00:20:26.340
I take care of my body because I was an athlete.
00:20:28.320
So I spend a lot of money on massage, physio, things that are therapeutic stuff that are very important.
00:20:40.740
If you're whatever, a doctor, you know, spend time on educate yourself.
00:20:48.760
Learn new techniques out of developing your craft, you know, stuff like that.
00:20:52.480
Because even if you're good and you stay there, the competition will catch up to you.
00:20:58.280
It's very important in sport and your career and everything.
00:21:00.780
We live in a very competitive world, and that's how it is, you know.
00:21:03.540
So always seek progress, and I think it's very important.
00:21:12.440
Hope you had a good time, and you learned some fighting techniques today.
00:21:21.520
Ali, next time you roll with him, I hope you're going to see a better, improved version.
00:21:27.440

And if I can, I'm coming out with a big project called The Path.
00:22:18.140
