The First Kick Footwork Every Beginner Should Learn 🥊 Coach Daniel Breaks It Down

From Northwest Fighting Arts

Close the distance, load the kick in the same motion, and throw it before your opponent has time to read what is coming. The step in is the foundation of the entire footwork series, and if this one is not clean, nothing that comes after it will be either. Start here, drill it until it is automatic, then build on top of it.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
