Lester’s Logic 14 – Variations on the Dive
Lester Griffin demonstrates an effective variation on the dive technique originally shown in Lester’s Logic 2. This adaptation is particularly effective for cage fighting scenarios in MMA.
The dive is a combination that borrows from Silat and Muay Thai traditions, providing a devastating sequence that can be used to counter a wide right hook and effectively neutralize your opponent.

Key Points
When practicing this technique, focus on:
- Creating the proper angle of entry
- Maintaining your balance throughout the movement
- Protecting yourself while executing the technique
- Following through with the entire sequence
This move works particularly well in the cage environment because the technique flows naturally with the confined space and can be executed effectively against the cage wall.
Practice this technique regularly with a training partner to develop the timing and fluidity needed for effective application in sparring or competition.
