- PREPARE FOR THE UNKNOWN by Dominick Cruz
www.dynamicstriking.com
In this Fight Training video, Dominick Cruz explains how to prepare for the unknown.
Dominick Cruz is widely considered the greatest bantamweight mixed martial artists in history as a 2 time champion in the UFC and the last bantamweight champion of the WEC organization. This is an excerpt from MMA FOOTWORK HACKS available from DynamicStriking.com.
Dynamic Striking was started by a pair of black belts (Bernardo Faria & Michael Zenga) who feel that nothing is more important than improving your striking skills as much as possible in the least amount of time. Their aim was to create a shop for students interested in striking who don’t look at mixed martial arts as a sport - but as a lifestyle.

“Make nothing right, nothing wrong, and everything possible” Great line
The fact that he knows his style looks goofy but has a hidden element in that you never know if he's actually out on his feet is fucking genius.
That’s not why he adopted that style dude.
Cruz's IQ really is something else - what a guy
yeah maen.
It's cool and shake the dam hatters off
The UFC bantamweight GOAT
Nice joke
🤗👍🏻
@@Hello-vx2olSo who is then? 😂
Indeed.
“ learn the form, seek and adapt to the formless”
Very kung-fu'esque saying of yours sir !
@@pierrewilliam7119
Appreciations for your kind reply. Yes indeed, it is an Chinese proverb.
it relates to any and all skill acquisition, regardless of art practiced 🙏🏻❤️.
“ Fighting is relativity in motion, therefore never expect only respond, as it one’s opponent within context that dictates tactics”
Ie: Be/Become adaptable. 🙏🏻❤️
I remember seeing this on a piece of paper taped to the wall next to the soft serve ice cream machine at a local Chinese buffet. It always stuck with me when eating ice cream.
Dom is such a master. Developed a completely new style. Such an amazing understanding of the fight game.
every kind of style is a limitation...a crystallisation ...😃
🤗👍🏻
so far 2 gems from this channel. (mike tyson teaching his approach) and doms insight. more pls. thanks
we all saw that thumbnail and HAD to know. great video, really insightful takes.
love his movement and defense...
“Psychopath idiot”
awkward D-Cruz is such a legend ❤
So much packed in such a short amount of time.
More then the known. Ahhh Dom you are the professor.
He’s absolutely a fighting genius.
That switch is cool. Kudos to the movement legend.
one of best fight iq's of all time
Except when he said “he’s trying to gas out khabib”
@@johnkreese4706 But gassing out athletic grapple heavy opponents is a real strategy that works. Maybe not to khabib because he is very technical and extremely well conditioned. But it does work at a moderately high level. So dom has an idea he his working with that is based in fact.
Dom always been one of the best martial artist minds out there
Super educational video. Great content
🔥
Dude is awesome.
Imagine coming up with your own fighting style and going out there and outclassing and beating the shit out of top elite professional killers.
genious👍🏽
thanks Dom!
Your body, if left alone, we go on autopilot and try to protect itself from potential danger. The body does have precognition abilities. It can sense danger before it happens.
🤗👍🏻
Did him dirty with that thumbnail 😂
he can literally do the cruz dance in his sleep 💃 💃
Good tips
It's very Intresting listening to Dom Talk
The best thumbnail 🎉ever
Dominick always looks like he just seen a ghost
Simple Dom in the thumbnail 😂
this made a wonderful looking thumbnail
Hey Dom, we all still want to see you fight the guy from monster that made you ride on his handlebars
Bantamweight GOAT
🤗👍🏻
Could someone please tell me what comes after the sentence “so I can be hit and be knocked out and be on my feet”in the video? I couldn't catch it clearly as it's not my native language.
Nice tink❤
🔥
Till next time i'll be Cruzing 👊
I can't believe this is free.
Bantam weight goat himself
Anyone ever play God of War 3 on PS3?
Dominic Cruz is Hermes (Mercury) with that footwork.
And no this is not a bad thing, it's actually a compliment. The man has some of the best footwork around.
Years ago he fought Cody Garbrant, which was not Dom's best performance. Back then Cody was a major force to be reckoned with, looked invincible at times. But the make up of a true champion on that level isn't calculated on a single performance but the sum of all performances throughout a career. Cruz has aged, just as we all do, but he has retained a great deal of skill. Cody Garbrant was like a shooting star back then. He lit up the sky and was a sight to behold, but then suddenly fizzled out into the great abyss.
Well enough reminiscing, time to go take a shit.
All of this reminds me of systema
😍😍
🔥
Muscle memory while sleep fighting lol scary as hell man!
That's some Daoist principles right there
Sometimes doing the stanky leg keeps you alive. Got it.
The thumbnails suggests that he has a stroke. Unknown😂😂
Great fighter
To follow your own philos, use an uneven floor and those terrible googles that mess up your vision.
Confusing the enemy and the eye's of your opponent by acting like a fool then hit hard sounds abt right... never fight a crazy dude either fight or walk away .
Chito Vera somewhere watching this just laughin
Chito watched this video
The freakshow footwork
He smooth in the ring and
\-_-/ a nose picking boogie eater😂
🥃 🚬 s
Terrible footwork constantly breaking his base.
Youre a🤡and know NOTHING about boxing.
You're just a newb
U know nothing about fighting & u have no idea what youre talking about
Read my Cruz VS Cejudo breakdown and educate yourself.
R2 2:30
Cruz has bad punching tech but it's more important to have correct shoulder trajectory/positioning
Not only too much of a delay for Cejudo to pull down & shoot
There was no coming over Cruz's 2 with a hook,Cruz placed his 2 beautifully while bending away(left shoulder drop)
R2 0:15
Cruz kept trying to be cute with unnecessary extra stepping & dumb stance changes in front of Cejudo eyes
Step accomplished nothing.Better off staying southpaw here
He just cost himself seconds in timing+more telegraphed intentions.Cejudo picked up on how Cruz uppercuts & ducks
R2 3:35
Like I said earlier about how u must turn with your blocks
Heres what happened when Cejudo actually TURNED WITH HIS BLOCK
He put himself in position to come back quick with his right hand
Take Cruz's right hand and shoot his own
Just needed to keep it tight & short arching in
R1 2:30
If Cruz had his weight to bend to this position he smoothers knee off right shoulder/chest
The errors:
Step=delay+weight down on right leg=telegraph to uppercut bend
Instead of flowing into left bend,drove off left leg to step right leg forward=drop into knee
Can smoother knee
R2 2:35
When parrying/pulling down & holding block other hand,MOVE WITH the BLOCK
2 options that wouldve opened up
1
Pull down fake,twist to his right turtling down on right leg & bounce Cruz's 2 while loading up right uppercut
2
Pull down,twist/slip outside 2,hook the body or head
R1 1:55
Cejudo's best punch came via staying planted & timing Cruz
Cruz kept trying to be cute too much
1. Slapped fake down &got him stepping into short 2
2. U dont wanna step into opposite stance from that close.Will get caught inbetween steps/step into big shot,or smoother yourself
R2 2:40
Cejudo tried to pull Cruz's fake down & shoot
Cruz beat him to it so bad then ducked response bcus shoulder trajectory
Shoulder drop with 2 off fake not only took head outside Cejudo's left hand, but in position to get under his 2
Placed 2 beautifully inside his left guard too
Too much of a delay to pull down & shoot
U want Cejudo's reaction, especially when u fake a 1 & come straight with the 2, u will beat them before their response
He wanted to pull & jab/hook
But Cruz even took away a hook over his 2,with proper shoulder trajectory(+get under 2)
If Cruz can trim out the fat (over-complicated unnecessary extra steps), plant his feet more, settle down more, hide his stance changes, just continue working on fundamental boxing, Cruz can become a beast/make his style even more effective
There must be a solid foundation.
I can help Cruz!
My drills teach,help,&cover everything ten fold.If u knew what u were watching u could have a clue. U know nothing clown🤡
Through out my drills u will become a pro at pushing weight➡⬅to jab,which will help u become natural at following your weight down into low left lean=bend/overhand/jab/body jab positions,&➡⬅➡which is same motion as 1-2/1 slip/1 low right lean=jab/hook/body hook/5 positions
MMA striking and boxing hipsters are 0 compared to me
Quiet🤡
My breakdowns are the best on the internet. Nobody is on my level.
Read my breakdowns and actually educate yourself
Too bad it didn’t work in the cejudo fight
Fight like a drunk Guy
He's done unfortunately. He can retire.
The absolute worst fighting style in the history of sports
Your mother's is worse
Say what you want about the dude - he is such an interesting guy to listen to and learn from. The mans fight IQ is just insane
