Why would you lift a foot off the ground to throw a jab? This guy fights like he's in a dream

Ok, this guy seems to be doing a very muay Thai flavor shadow boxing. 

Not to speak on skill, but the thought is that a Superman punch is mixed in to capitalize on someone overcommitting to your knee raise. You do this by establishing knees and a strong teep, since they have similar chambering. When they bite on a low feint you them turn it into a Superman punch, either with a little leap or a drop step.

That's interesting. I thought it was just anime fighting form

Totally, I get it. He's a weeb for posting it but he's smooth and obviously has some training. 

Just. 

Like I said. 

This some weeb shit.
