Issue 124
January 2015
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, Greg demonstrates the cross kick to knee.
1. Greg (right) wants to get John to shift his weight off his lead leg, so he steps to the right.
2. John shadows him by also stepping to the right.
3. Now John’s weight is on his back leg, so Greg can throw the kick at his front knee.
4. For maximum effect, angle your foot slightly, put a little pop into it and aim for the area right above the knee to get it to hyper extend.
