World Champion Chingiz Allazov Teaches His Knockout Combinations at Bangtao | PART 1

ONE Championship Kickboxing World Champion Chingiz Allazov is known for his chaotic, shifting style that confuses even the best strikers in the world. In this seminar at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA, he breaks down the method behind the madness.

Quick add: Open "Switch Step - Lead Hook - Cross - Rear Knee" in FightFlow.

It’s not just about speed. It’s about "clever work" — using your feet to create openings that safe fighters never find.

1. Footwork is the first attack

Allazov stresses one rule above all: the step comes before the strike.

Many fighters punch while their feet are stuck, or they drag their feet after the punch. Allazov teaches that the step is the entry.

• Step first: "Step, step, boom (strike)." The feet carry you into range.
• Head off center: As you step, your head moves. If you stay on the center line, you get countered.
• Don't just walk: Every step should be a loaded position, ready to fire.

He calls this "clever work." You aren't just brawling; you are moving to a place where you can hit them, but they can't hit you.

2. "First Level" vs. Championship Level

There is a moment in the seminar where Allazov explains the difference between a good fighter and a champion.

• First Level: You stay at a safe long distance. You touch, you move back. It’s safe. "It's no problem, it's normal," he says. You don't take risks, but you also don't get the big rewards.
• Championship Level: You take the risk to enter. "Maybe like he's professional, you have risk. You go for this... to check."

To get the knockout, you have to be willing to step into the fire. You have to trust your eyes and your reaction time to "check" (anticipate and block) their counter while you land your own shot.

3. The "Allazov Shift"

This is the signature move everyone wants to learn. How does he change angles so fast?

He drills it simply:

1. Throw the selection: One-Two (Jab-Cross, or anything else).
2. The Shift: After the cross, don't just pull back. Use the momentum to step your rear foot forward or to the side.
3. New Angle: Now you are on their flank. You can throw the left hand or the left kick from a position they aren't looking at.

"I do one-two, one-two step after change," he explains. The goal is to never be where the opponent thinks you are. You hit them from the front, then suddenly you are hitting them from the side.

4. Don't wait—flow

A big mistake he sees is fighters hitting a combo and then stopping to admire it.

"You do his knockout... and all but then you stop and you don't work and you wait him, it's no good."

His specific instruction: Touch the head and start the fight immediately. If you miss, you flow to the next move. If they block, you change the angle. The moment you stop to "wait" for the opponent is the moment you give them the chance to reset.

Watch the full breakdown carefully to see the rhythm. Allazov’s speed is incredible, but his logic is simple: move feet, hit target, change angle.
