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

ONE Championship Kickboxing World Champion Chingiz Allazov is known for a chaotic, shifting style. In this seminar at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA, he shows how he builds it, feet first.

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

His name for it is "clever work": using your feet to create openings.

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.

That is the "clever work." You aren't 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 and 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"

His signature move: changing the angle in the middle of a combination.

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 (for an orthodox fighter; mirror it if you're southpaw) 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.

Try the combo in FightFlow

The core sequence from this session:

Combo: Switch Step, Lead Hook (thrown with the Switch Step), Cross, Rear Knee.

The app splits the switch and hook into separate calls: Switch step, Lead hook, Cross, Rear knee, then Reset. Settle your stance after the switch, then throw the hook on its call.

Open the combo in FightFlow.

(If the share page appears, tap Open in the App. On the import screen, tap Add to save the combo. You can change the strikes, speed and length there to match your level.)

Watch the video for the rhythm, then drill it slow: move feet, hit target, change angle.
