Academy

Learn to fight. From Joker.

Seven categories, in the order I learned them myself — not a pile of clips with nothing holding them together. The fundamentals are free and open to everyone; the rest comes with Club.

Cross — hip rotation and body weight

01What to watchThe hip and the rear foot. The heel turns, the hip rotates, the shoulder reaches the chin — the power comes off the floor, not out of the arm.
02The usual mistakeA cross thrown with the arm alone, hip still. Imagine putting out a cigarette with the rear foot — the heel turns and the hip pulls the punch.
03The drill3 × 2 min: the first minute slow rotation with no punch, the second the cross on the bag at full power.
Pro detailFor competitors: after the cross your weight carries you forward, and that is where the takedown finds you. The cross always has an exit — a step off line, or back to the jab.

What one lesson looks like
  1. 01

    What to watch

    One detail per lesson, named. Not “watch how it's done” — the feet, the elbows, the heel.

  2. 02

    Where everyone gets it wrong

    The mistake I see in every first session, and exactly how to get rid of it.

  3. 03

    Your drill until next time

    Rounds, reps, rest. Film the last round on your phone and hold it against the video.

+ For competitorsA layer on top of every lesson, for people already fighting: when the technique stops holding, and what you do then.

Next step

The app arriving now is the academy — video lessons, the mistakes and the drills. Joker Vision comes later: a camera that counts your punches through the phone, times your combinations and scores your execution.

Aleksandar „Joker” Ilić

Bag work in training
I'm not one for talking about myself in superlatives — I think the work says it better.

I've been in the cage for years, faced the best, won, gone down and come back stronger. Fighting shaped me. It taught me there are no limits and that discipline beats everything. I still compete in FNC, and alongside it I work with fighters, coaches and everyday athletes who want to get better.
