‘One Kick’ Nick Blomgren has been around martial arts for over 25 years and has trained the likes of Stephan Bonnar, Chuck Liddell and Ray Sefo. With the help of pro fighter Chidi Njokuani, Nick shows us his tricks of the trade - here how to counter a caught kick.
SKILL: COUNTERING A CAUGHT KICK
1. To start off the move, Chidi throws a simple one-two combo, beginning with a left jab.
2. He then throws a right to finish off the combo, keeping Nick on his back foot.
3. Chidi then attempts to body kick, but Nick is able to catch it, thus controlling any further strikes that Chidi would be able to throw.
4. To decrease the threat of a takedown from Nick, Chidi utilizes an overhook and pushes Nick’s head away from him, his leg still trapped.
5. Chidi is able to free his leg, but still keeps control of Nick’s head so he can be close enough to attack him. Once he is free, Chidi throws a knee to Nick’s body.
6. Chidi then finishes off the move by throwing a right head kick.
