Free MMA Gyms breaks down the twist behind a body shot

Bear Fiorda turns a heavy-bag clip into a lesson in hip rotation, arm position and setting up the punch.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The hips do the work. Bear Fiorda watches a boxer striking a heavy bag, then picks apart the small rotation that makes the body shot worth studying.

"He's doing something impeccable on the video, but he's not talking about it, so here I am," he says in "Body shot time 👊 #mma #martialarts #howto #fight #selfdefense". He demonstrates moving slightly off the center line before rotating into the punch, then contrasts the clip's curving delivery with his own tucked-elbow approach. A feinted cross supplies his setup.

The Short is the most watched of Free MMA Gyms' eight new uploads, reaching roughly 315,000 views. The comments keep returning to the sound of the punches landing on the bag; others discuss the jab obscuring an opponent's view and the rotation behind the strike.

"Leg kicks hurt 🤯 #mma #martialarts #howto #fight #selfdefense" also found a substantial audience. Meanwhile, the newer "Can't say I'd do this 👊 #mma #martialarts #howto #fight #selfdefense" is gathering views briskly, though the body-shot tutorial remains the channel's busiest upload right now.

Free MMA Gyms added 5,000 subscribers over the week, continuing to grow at a gentler pace than across the past month. Daily viewing is also a little below its usual level. Among nearby combat-sports channels, WWE NXT had a busy week, while Michael Bisping's subscriber count stayed unchanged. For Fiorda, the week's clearest draw was the practical detail: a small twist, followed by a much bigger one.

  • When a punching bag makes "that" sound, I get scared.
  • Good god that punch sounded like he was swinging a 2x4.

  • That guy in the original video is amazing. His fist almost disappears.

  • getting hit by someone who truly knows how to throw a punch is a completely different experience than your typical drunken altercation.
  • Another rally good thing he does is he's blocking "the opponents" view with his jab.

    He's also making sure to do bit of bendy-knees action afterwards in case of blind counter-fire. A good habit.

    And yeah his hook comes more from the side while yours would hit a bit more straight on i guess.
  • I remember the first liver shot I ever took. Wooooweeee what a time
