The Counter frame
Greg Jackson is the most sought-after trainer in MMA. Each issue he shows you how to mix up your martial arts skills with UFC flyweight John ‘The Magician’ Dodson. Here, the pair demonstrate the counter frame.
1. John (left) is stopping Greg from attacking him with a frame lock. Greg has an underhook with his right arm.
2. Greg can counter by coming inside with his left arm and grabbing John’s left shoulder to counter-frame his frame.
3. Greg can now drive off his right leg and push with both hands on John’s shoulders to distribute his weight forwards.
4. Greg switches his stance and drives a left knee into John’s head.
