I found this video on YouTube when I was looking for videos to post on Lyoto Machida's birthday.

Enjoy!


Description

Intercepting Attacks, Takedown Defense, and The Clinch: Machida teaches you how to make your opponent pay every time he attacks you. He demonstrates numerous ways to intercept your opponent’s kicks and punches by combining footwork with strikes, and then follow up with aggressive attacks that exploit your opponent’s positioning. Next, he teaches highly effective techniques for countering your opponent’s takedowns, including double and single leg takedowns. Finally, he unveils the clinch. He demonstrates how to use the Muay Thai clinch to off balance your opponent and land ruthless strikes. He demonstrates how to utilize the over-under clinch to sweep, trip, and throw your opponent. He even demonstrates how to escape both the Muay Thai and over-under clinch when you find yourself in an inferior position. If your goal is to steer the direction of a fight and inflict damage without taking abuse, this DVD is for you.

Lyoto Machida vs Kengo Watanabe

Lyoto Machida in his MMA debut. The fight was held at NJPW - Ultimate Crush. Unfortunately the 2nd round is missing and is nowhere to be found.

The man in the suit is Antonio Inoki - legendary pro wrestler, Japanese MMA pioneer and Lyoto's former promoter. The punch that he does after the fight is the Toukon "Fighting spirit" slap - it's supposed to bring good luck.

The Toukon "Fighting spirit" slap came about when Inoki was visiting a school. Some random kid punched Inoki twice, and he responded with a slap that knocked the kid down. The kid got up, bowed deeply, and thanked him for the slap. It was all over the TV in japan. After that celebrities and everyday people ask Inoki for the slap to give them courage or a blessing.

MMA: Lyoto 'The Dragon' Machida 1 - Background and Takedowns

5/14/2009 04:54:00 PM  , , , , , , , ,  3 comments

NOTE: This entry contains gif's that I didn't make. I dl'd off of Spladdle blog and uploaded to my pichost to save on original gif-maker's bandwith. My thanks to the unknown gif maker(s).



Let's take a look at Lyoto 'The Dragon' Machida.



The buzz around Machida is that he is elusive, currently undefeated, and that his background is Shotokan Karate. To be trained in a traditional martial art and to be successful in MMA is a rarity these days as the MMA fighters of today seem to train a blended MMA hybrid style of BJJ, Muay Thai, boxing, and wrestling. It seems MMA has turned to the TMA to get an edge in MMA competition.

Lyoto Carvalho Machida (born May 30, 1978) is a Brazilian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter currently fighting as a light heavyweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

The son of a Japanese-Brazilian Shotokan karate master, Yoshizo Machida, Machida holds an undefeated record that includes victories over former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin, and current UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn. He is currently ranked as the #2 and #4 light heavyweight fighter in the world by MMAWeekly and Sherdog respectively. Machida is noted for his karate-influenced striking style that implements an unorthodox stance and an elusive strategy.

Machida fights out of Black House.

For more info, check out:


Some animated pictures of his takedowns. A friend (ronin) says the punch to sweep takedown is from Shotokan.

UFC 76 - Lyoto vs Kazuhiro Nakamura - September 22, 2007

2 takedowns in this gif




1st one is probably in other MA, but when I first saw it, my knee-jerk reaction was that it's a silat takedown called, IIRC, Kengit Siko.

WFA - Lyoto vs Vernon White - July 22, 2006




UFC 79 - Lyoto vs Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou - December 29, 2007



UFC 67 - Lyoto vs Sam Hoger - February 3, 2007




takedown look familiar? :-)

UFC 84 - Lyoto vs Tito Ortiz - May 24, 2008




Suplex time.

K1 Heroes 1 - Lyoto vx BJ Penn - March 26, 2005




How would you describe this takedown?

UFC 94 - Lyoto vs Thiago Silva - January 31, 2009






My friend Ausgepicht posted to the Spladdle Forum:

Funny, if you showed someone a highlight or a bunch of GIFs of Lyoto, they would think he was a ridiculous, technical machine....which he clearly is, but if you told them these ninja moves were done rounds or fights apart, they would be flabbergasted.

I think anyone watching the GIFs or highlights would come away thinking that this is simply how the guy fights....just beating the sh!t out of everyone.

Truth is that there's at least 5 minutes between these ninja moves!

This is part of Machida's elusiveness… he picks his spots… counter-attacks. When I saw some of his fights, I was probably like a lot of the typical MMA fans, looking for an exciting match with a knockout for the payoff. I initially felt bored watching his fights. But as I watched more of his fights, I realize what was going on. He is an excellent technician. Great tactitian and sticks to his strategy of counter-attacking. This all adds to his elusiveness. He thoroughly frustrated Tito Ortiz when they fought. Ortiz is quoted as saying, "He’s very elusive and it was tough to chase him down, he’s a great fighter."

I've noticed Machida does something with his body which I call the Machida Sway. He sways/rocks his body to and fro, kind of like what the Dog Brothers call the 'snaky stick'. The stick hand is always in motion to mask the intention of a strike. Machida seems to me the same when he sways his body. In a future entry, I will take a look at his feinting... the Machida Sway.

Machida will be facing 'Sugar' Rashad Evans for a shot at the Light Heavyweight title. Good luck Lyoto Machida!
