Mike Swick shows how to be a nightmare from a dominant position

The AKA way is embracing the grind and that means smashing someone from a dominant position. The technique of holding an opponent down and pounding away has become a staple of AKA and we’ve seen it from many fighters such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Cain Velasquez, and Daniel Cormier.

AKA Thailand founder and longtime American Kickboxing Academy fighter, Mike Swick, demonstrates the AKA way of making life miserable for an opponent. While Swick always preferred to stand up and outstrike his opponents, he became an expert at ’embracing the grind’. When you train with guys like Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck, Josh Thomson, Daniel Cormier, and Cain Velasquez, you have to figure out really quickly how to even the score.

Check out our video of Swick sharing his knowledge on how to suffocate an opponent from all those years of training at AKA.
