Media Alex Pereira training Dutch kickboxing

[MM808]

I’d be impressed if he was shown training more on wrestling or BJJ

 

[Elvis.]

I can’t help but thinking “ why would somebody fight this person “ watching Alex hit pads
You can see how passionate Nick Hemmers is about what he does , just a fantastic video

 

[Royce's Gi]

That's a good pad holder. I like how he moves around like it's a sparring session and throws shit back too. And I'm guessing this is the 1st time he's held pads for Poatan and it still goes fairly smoothly.

Poatan hurt his leg on the padholder (nick)

 

[KID Yamamoto]

I love Alex still being so connected to his kickboxing roots. He still pushed himself in the striking department.

Honestly American MMA can feel behind the times in terms of striking. America is still small time in the worlds of muay thai and K-1.

That’s Nick Hemmers, Cor’s son and Ramon Dekkers half brother, one of the best Kickboxing trainers in the world atm in my opinion!

Yeah he said that in the video, pretty legit to say the least.. "born into kickboxing" as he said it

He hurt his leg throwing the kick in the actual correct way using the shin instead of how he throws it lol

I was going to say. Pad trainer looks tough like an anvil.

I used to love watching Hoost rip his cross-hook-low kick combo. It was quick and really effective. It's almost infuriating watching an MMA fighter throw a one-two combo of punches and then reset without following up with a heavy kick.

I could probably take him though. When I was in the service, I won the Chin-Ups Cup three weeks in a row. Fuckin' beautiful definition, too!

 

[GolovKing]

Hopefully he doesn't actually start fighting in a Dutch style. It's terrible for MMA and not suited for his body type anyways

 

[VinceArch]

The sound of those knees hitting the pads.

Man, Ernesto Hoost is a freaking legend.

Yeah that definitely ain’t a lie, lol.
I heard Nick Hemmers wants to get back to competition himself, for what looks to be a single fight

That's fucking awesome. Jealous asf, lol.

His low kicks were a thing of beauty.

His whole style was a thing of beauty
To think this happened and I wasn’t even born yet…

Justin gaetheje clearly takes notes from Dutch style fighters. Izzy actually used a Dutch tactic to get Alex. High guard shell and then fire the 1-2. Krause did this to escape the ropes alot.

This is a good one my friend.

Back in the day every mma champ used to travel to holland to train with the greats and at great teams like golden glory. For an mma champ who has a rich kickboxing background I am surprised at how he doesn’t go down there more often.

I guess we have a lot of Dutch kickboxing coaches everywhere these days but nothing like going there

 

[TR1]

OMG A fighter lost a fight! A fighter lost a fight everyone!

 

[TriangleMonkey]

You can see just “shocking” his muscles by doing different combos at a different tempo is tiring him out good. Alex does need to add the longer range leg-kick that whips with all your might with more turn-over on plant foot cause he has calf-kick fucking down to the tee already and both would be deadly

This is great for him but he is always traveling around and seeking high-level training/sparring like all over the world

And gawdwam he hits hard with dem stone hands
