lmao, my bad..
@Ben Aries thats invading privacy.
Instablaster.
"Something like that, So if my legs looked like they went like that, that's because they did" 😂😂😂😂
No one steps like the Fijians. Lived there for a number of years. They basically come out of the womb stepping and doing flick passes
Haha you're not wrong there bro!
Very true
Hehe...
Factz!
I’m from Fiji bula everyone
Wtf the ways his legs moved that was not natural
Just watched this after watching your new videos for the last month. Your content has gotten much better my dude. Keep up the great work.
This was fucking hilarious Good job more stuff like this please xD
Lol, look out for more rugby relates stuff in the future bro!
Hello! I'm a mom and this is my daughters first time playing rugby so I'm just doing some studying. My nephew plays pro football so I try not to compare. My daughter is a bit on the small size so I tell her to always be aware of her surroundings. I would think of that move of being a shake move. That seems like something that would be hard to teach but I get the concept. Thanks for the video.
Good move to have up your arsenal, pull it out anytime
I'd like him to pull out something into me 😉
lmfao
YOU'RE EVERYWHERE WTF
Jacob McDonald not even embarrassed, just the truth.. but as all girls say
*I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!*
I like rugby its an awesome. And american football came from it haha so i don't get why American football players don't respect this game that much
They don't? huh.
+I Y Yeah, most of them don't. Just like some rugby players and fans hate football, some football players and fans hate rugby. But i don't see why though, they're virtually the same just some slight differences
i thought players had respect for each other and only fans hated each others sports, players, and so on. im not talking about amateur players. where im from football players and the sport are seen in amazement
+John Smith I don't speak for everyone obviously. But from I've seen its not they don't respect the players themselves, we all respect each other we all work hard, we all sweat, and we all feel pain. Its the game itself that not every player respects, like how rugby union doesn't like rugby league. Thats how most football players are they respect rugby players, but they don't as much hate rugby but they don't understand it and don't bother to learn how because their just uninterested, thus meaning they don't respect it as much in a way. They say its a tough game and it looks fun to play, but they themselves won't play it or watch it or learn it. They rather play football then rugby
True true
Yes mate!! Good to see you back to teaching Rugby skills...keep it coming...and keep up the good work
+011DarkVader110 Cheers mate will do!
A NZ touch rugby guy by the name of Remus Gentles created that step over 20 years ago. Benji Marshall, Shaun Johnson and QC all do slight variances of it but Shaun and Benji Illustrate it best as you're supposed to be able use it step in either direction depending on which way the defender goes.
Shaun Johnson(and Benji in his prime) has the most successful step because of his acceleration and speed over a 100M. How often do you see QC step someone and then run more than 20M before getting mowed down.
:) Thanks for the info bro!
shaun Johnson has a gift tho
ruari Keane Kelleher ohhhh true
ruari Keane Kelleher fuck I was I was as good as him
HappiestHappyMeal wish**
ruari Keane Kelleher he is my idol i went to the game yesterday warriors v titans and he waved at me 😍
DopeAssGames TM I love the guy
Im gonna end up breaking my own legs or ankles before I even come close to doing it properly
Thank you for this video. I play 7s rugby at school and I've been struggling with my stepping.. This video does help a lot thank you so my much
Ha, awesome man. I've got heaps of other sidestepping videos in my video library. Good luck out there :)
Heading to the field to do my speed session, Will try these at the end! ) Great video
+xNMD Hope you got it man :) It's the flick of the head the other way as you land too that makes it!
It's a hop a fraction before planting the stepping foot. During the hop phase Cooper assesses the defender's weight distribution, and targets the weaker shoulder.
Also, the x0.25 speed on youtube is awesome.
Thanks for this mate, this step probably won't be effective in every situation but it is awesome to be able to add this move to my arsenal, definitely going to be trying this
You're right brother def not effective in every situation but that swivel with the hip that I did in the first demonstration was the true step that I wanted to teach here. Good luck man!
Nice work man!! Keep up the good work. Your a bloody legend and all your work is crazy good. Keep it up bro !!
Dion Williams Nice
bobby
Spot on with the hip twist. If both you and the defender are coming together at an average or slow pace then you'd want to land both feet a lil wider. That last step you did would get past someone stagnant or moving at a fast pace.
It was confusing at first but became real easy after. Thx man
Hey brother glad I could help! Keep killing it
I’m doing rugby league for the first time and I’m pretty nervous, I’ve only tackled one person.
No need to be nervous bud after first 2 games you get use to the game and want more just give it your all.
I love watching this, I'm a safety for a British based American football team (Tamworth Phoenix). I've been fooled by many fast steps and as embarrassing as it is I'm always so impressed at the smoothness and speed.... Saying that... The key to stopping the step is watch the hips. The feet go everywhere but let's say you watch his left hip. It hardly moves unimtil he's makes his final step.
Helped me so much thanks alot :)
Helped me so much thank you buddy
Nah bro come to South Auckland in new Zealand that's where the real hot steppers are.
Nice stepping man .... before you step, throw the ball in the air and do a around the world....always works for me
Breathing deep in like 50 seconds
Jacob McDonald What boots are u wearing
Ace Bro! good to see someone actually do a tutorial on it haha
Thanks bro! Man, so much more I wanted to say after watching this video back lol. I'll make another one sometime
I'm not doing anything like that, I'm just trying to find a way to quickly close distance between someone and then time a punch right with the speed gained from this small step.
Hey jacob thanks so much for this vid....becos of u im one of the best steppers in my team!! Keep up the good work bro i hope young childrens like me are inspired bye your videos! Peace..!
always keep your eyes on the hips. a good defender never gets fooled by all the motion, body can't go anywhere else other than where the hips take it.
Don't give any mind to the comments dude. This was a great tutorial helped me to know what to do. Thanks man. Keep doing what you're doing!
+Lucky7 B Thanks my man
Hey man. Great Video!!. I've been practising with your video. So far I've been doing good, thanks to your tutorial..Really Helps...Keep on doing awesome videos like this..Cheers bruh
That's so awesome to hear bro! All I wanted to do was spread the word on how awesome rugby is :) Good luck for the future and look out for my new rugby videos I've just put up a couple of days ago.
That's so awesome to hear bro! All I wanted to do was spread the word on how awesome rugby is and get people stepping like they know they want to :) Good luck for the future.
Cheers bruh! No doubt your doing incredible job spreading your teaching on how marvellous rugby is and for that you earned yourself a another subscriber..Keep it Up..Thanks for the reply btw..
Good tutorial about the QC step but the last step is always more lateral to put the defender off balance
Hey Jacob I really appreciate you making these videos. I have always been studying and analysing steps in rugby.. And I feel the rugby world needs more interest in breaking down these 'moves' as opposed to thinking that one either has it or not.
Unlike football/ soccer, basketball etc where there are plenty of tutorial to learn from, there are only a handful of tutorials on rugby stepping. Whats more frustrating is that even in the NFL such moves or jukes as the americans call them have been broken down to a science.
I'm sure with proper interest, Quade Coopers step, Shane Williams evasion techniques or even Serevi and William Ryder's goose steps can be broken down into a science allowing for the sport to evolve.
Hey man I really appreciate your comment actually! Really interesting to hear your perspective and I'll definately continue to pump out content so we can spread the word on the game of rugby! :)
I need to know how to take the ball and go in an aggressive way to the try.
It seems like you could use this step both ways for any foot, and read the defender that way, if you don't think so, tell me
Gonna start playing rugby again at 18 played for 5 years haven't played for years though so just watching all your vids 😂
Haha sounds very similar to me mate, I played from age 5 until 13, then took 5 years off and started again when I was 18 and went to University. Hope the vids help ;)
this 100 times better when a real Aussie is teaching
that step is better for a one on one situation where the defender is coming at you with pace and to get it just deals with how good you are with your feet
Bang on brah, they have no chance if they're coming at you with pace and you're one on one. Remember Quade Cooper doing the biggest step you've ever seen on Cory Jane that time?? Or is that just me lol.
Wanna play Rugby for my local u14s club, but not confident enough the people that are already in the team say to me at school that I’m shit and not good enough even though they haven’t seen me play, what should I do because I don’t wanna get bullied every fucking training session
sick step totes awks tutorial but hilarious
4:24 Yeah I could easily stop that! ;)
Ed Grimley has been doing that move since the early 1980's.
I was suffocating throughout the whole video. Regardless, good tutorial.
im gonna practice that thanks
+Walter Gosling Hey that's awesome man. Killer move, use it to your advantage!
Thanks for breaking the step down . Great tutorial.
No worries glad you liked it
Nice vid bro gunna use this in my training game tomorrow
Good luck bro go hard!
forgot to mention, do that scissor thing, give you lots of disadvantages. first of, you kill too much of your own momentum. I would say it firstly you do it for too long. secondly because you do that small jump later which done to kill some momentum for easier direction change. The second issue with it is you run the risk of tripping yourself. You going too fast and it easy for you to trip with that scissor weird move. You don't need to do that wiper leg while on the air. Still, it kill your momentum on the air. Your small direction change I think would fit better for the 360° sidestep which I usually do since you going fast but maybe a bit too much cause you might trip yourself. Lots of experience watching people do the same mistake and paid the price.
Great video, how tall are you btw?
insane like the goose thing you did.
I really appreciate you tearing down the whole step into parts, video's great, good job! Looks like the "wobbling" knee is asked to cope with some shear stress when it's in the air, are there some worries for ACL club members?
No worries man! Thanks for watching and yes personally I haven't had any major knee injuries or surgeries like that.. "touch wood" but I would say that after having an ACL reconstruction that banging your foot into the ground like that enough times.. Might be pushing it a bit :)
Thank for the response and keep the good work up man!!
thanks
for the vid brudda
I like his humor
great video! helped me. you won a follower.
hi jacob, people doesnt really look at your foot when tackling they usually look at hip movement, i think moving your feet doesnt really effective but if u have great angle than it is okay. btw great video :D
Gangley and lacking in grace come immediately to mind
i think he's just good at reading oppositions body language and good and deciding from there. it also makes it easier when youre good at alternating between stepping and goosing at a quick pace.
You need to have a wider plant stance to fully off balance the defender when landing
Can you do a spin move in rugby
I'm from newzealand and it help me with my rugby
thanks
Drop kick tutorial is good it kinda helped me!!
Glad to hear it bro!
next do a vid on how to read the defence and step adaptively, otherwise solid vid man
would u consider a footy career or is this just for local club
I dreamed of playing rugby professionally for quite a number of years, but not anymore.
really helps
sick wheels mate cheers
Made my day brah! Thanks
This is so cool
You look like a goose doing this hahahhahha
:D
Thanks
Mostly every kid in NZ does this growing up.... in bulrush, Tag, Touch, League and Union... it’s naturally grained into kids to do a step... Benji Marshall, Shaun Johnson, Roger Tuivasa Sheck, Kaylyn Ponga are amazing steppers but the Touch players are next level...
si vous venez de fenelons 5eA likez XD
Could you stop this...
*drops ball
😂🤦♂️
XD
Aye that's the way it's done lad.
I go to that gym lol are you from Indiana?
We playing tomorrow. I'm gonna use these skills!!
Awesome, hope you carved up out there!
I am play Monday lol
you could be a prop and just run through the defender 😂😂
Ha this is true this is true.. I've been steamrolled once or twice by one of you guys lmao
not if you 3"2
I’m a prop
Yea
O shit I'm in love
But i love the fact that you're trying to spread rugby. Its a truly awesome sport, and i wish football and players got along and played together because there the same. Just some slight tweaks to the game but its all the same. And i actually want to play rugby, just haven't gotten around any people to play with and most people don't even know what it is or how to play it
Hey brother thanks for your comments! Really interesting to hear the thoughts of NFL players and what they think of the game of rugby. It really is a great game.. No pads, no helmet, no running out of play when you don't wanna be hit.. I fucking love it haha. Try it out man! Even try out a game of rugby sevens to start. I know rugby sevens is gaining traction over there. About the defense question, I'm going to be bringing out a vide on how to defend and how to tackle. Basic principles remain, look at the opponenets hips, stay on the balls of your feet, don't get caught flat footed etc. Look out or it brah! Good luck
+Jacob McDonald No problem man. It is its awesome, i want to play it more and more everytime i watch. Football is my first love always will be, but i get the same itch to want to try rugby just like i want to play football, its just so awesome to me. Yeah y'all fields are way bigger there's no running away from contact, so even more so than in football if you don't like contact you definitely can't play rugby there is no running away you'll get dead tired before you make the sideline and theres about 5 people there waiting for you because theres more people than in football and there all over the place. Thats why people say rugby players are so tough there is no running from contact everybody gets hit and i love it i hate when people try to run from it. Yeah sevens is getting big, i don't always know the differences but there is one haha. But i also even if i started off with that i want to play regular rugby and one day probably try to compete for a world cup with team usa. And go against there world powers in New zealand and Australia and South Africa, just like football it makes me get big dreams like that haha its that awesome. The idea to play an awsome sport but also on a world stage and play the world and not just the U.S is awesome to me. Football is going to get there one day because their taking the pads off and i want to do that to, but i also want to do rugby. And thats exactly true when you have the fundamentals on defense its hard to get juked, the opposition also has to try much harder when facing someone fundamentally sound. And thanks man hopefully one day I'll get to play haha
U gotta have strong ankle to do that, I gotta bad history with ankle twists so u gotta be careful when side stepping like that.
I actually my uses in a game for football
He is stealing my oxygen
Good stuff zoom in more and title them how to step because o typed that looking for these vides for ages
damn when i get in a fight im gonna do this
Quade Cooper is a special player Jake.....Unfortunately I am not able to see Super Rugby this year in the USA, as DirecTV didn't renew their contract this year :( I always root for the Highlanders back in your NZ !!!
+Kevin Clements Honestly Kevin Super Rugby seems to be dwindling I'm not even that interested in it that much anymore with all the NRL and AFL coverage we get here it's kinda like you have no choice lol. I still will always love my Crusaders though that's for sure. And ofcourse the might ALL BLACKS.
Jacob McDonald Fitness
Oh NOOOO really SR is dying ? Because rugby seems to be really strong around the globe if you look at the attendance at Top 14, or Super League, Pro 12 & Premiership - they all have healthy looking bottom lines. I have always wondered about those huge South African stadiums that are about 70% empty....I like also Derek Minnie that plays for the Lions in SA. I like the Crusaders too....don't they play down at Christchurch ? In the the ITA Cup I usually root for Southland....especially if Jamie MacIntosh is playing for them.
That was sick. No, to answer your question. My ass would be left taking mental pictures, tackling air.
Good content!
Really good video bro, I love doing this to people in games lmao, although it makes me feel like I was born in the wrong hemisphere!
Haha hey thanks man! I'm watching it thinking I could've mentioned this and that but I'm glad you enjoyed and even moreso that you use the step in the game ha :P Where are you from?
+Jacob McDonald England mate! But I prefer Southern Hemisphere rugby 100% 👀
I think body building is your thing while rugby is not. Did you notice you didn't changed much in the direction of the movement after the sidestep? The opponent would still be able to tackle you even he is a new player. The first one is...I don't know. Is it even a sidestep. Every sidestep require a check step to do. Which means you need to slow for a bit to easily give traction to change your direction of movement. Keep your hands to yourself while exiting the sidestep. There's one more thing you need to do before approaching the sidestep but...its kinda hard to explain. you need to like influence the defender to follow your initial direction of attack to manipulate his momentum to be used in sidestepping.
1:56 funny:-)
Sounds like a content aware scale
Is that a hat in is head and he's in the rugby field???
i'm from malaysia but still learning about sidestep.hope can join you to play together
What a tank thanks man! I played touch using this and duked this kid he fell over haha I'm 13
My son plays american football.. But he's been using this move..thanx
Jonah was left footed, churr🖒
+Churr Bro 💪💪💪 Thanks man. Legend gone too soon R.I.P
I play full back and left wing and I'm right footed so this is perfect for me
Mean bro kill it out there.
Love the videos man make some more awesome rugby vids?
Hey glad to hear it bro. What in particular did you have in mind?
christian cullen was best alltime stepper . he had the perfect timing while stepping at full speed
He's the fuckin man you're not wrong there. Such a good mind for running rugby, ahead of his time.
