Current UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis first set the mixed martial arts world alight with the Showtime Kick that help him earn the WEC belt from then-champ Benson Henderson. Now, we’re not saying it’s easy, but you can learn how he did it. In the above video from a Paradise Warrior Retreat weekend seminar, Pettis explains how he did the kick against Henderson, how he perfected, and a step-by-step breakdown of how to set it up and launch it off the cage. The Paradise Warrior Retreat returns to New York City on March 8 and 9 at Renzo Gracie’s world-renown martial arts training academy located in the heart of Manhattan. Featuring some of the sport’s most elite fighters and instructors, this star-studded seminar is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for fans and athletes to train with some of the best names in the sport of MMA and kickboxing.
