The job of a professional fighter is to hit not get hit but at the same time be exciting being entertaining be crowdpleasing. So true you gotta be clever and gotta be smart and not get hit when you’re able to do this you are a fighter put profound and true words.
100 % True, what your said. The very fact that you expect an attack at any time prevents you from being surprised. And many people now know that the most critical blows are the ones you don't see coming and don't expect. That alone is one of the greatest skills you can have.
I come from germany and I dont really have the oppertunity to learn the Peekaboo style, but when I see your videos, it feels more and more possible to do it. I really want to be good at this style and your advice is helping allot. Thank you
Hey Brother. New subscriber here! Thank you for this insight. I got into boxing a few years ago with the best intentions. I just see now clearly that anyone can say they are a ‘coach’ or trainer, but few have the credentials if not the skills to actually teach and breakdown techniques properly. Since I’m only 5’8” yet I’m a heavyweight, I was lead to believe by a former trainer, that I could just simply emulate a Cus D’Mato peekaboo style based on a few head movements and things I picked up from the internet. I see now how irresponsible it is of a ‘trainer’ to let a novice just get straight into sparing for example with little to no knowledge of even the fundamentals as you outlined in this video. Luckily I was able to think things through and am exploring different gyms now and trainers with legit backgrounds who have even had amateur fights and feel like I’m starting again from scratch. I guess better late than never. Thanks for the video.
I’m with you, I just had my First fight last weekend which I won. I’m going to learn this style of Boxing to make sure I win again, you are definitely right about it being superior.
Idk if you’ll see this comment but , I been competing in kickboxing for a few years now im a mma practitioner just haven’t transitioned to mma matches yet . I’m more of a striker than grappler in my last two fights I been working on utilizing the cus style your videos help a lot since there’s almost no one that really knows the style . Thank you
How do I get one of those t shirts big dawg? This guy is born to cultivate new talent everything he says is in line with every great coach I have met..

Great job man, I salute you from Brazil, iam more older than you, and maybe I the only one I guess here in my country, study and teaching Cus style, why? Because I learned English when was very young, to try understand videos I see from teddy in Catskill, VHS videos actually, it's took many year's studying, even today, we never stop to learn, and when I teach in my studio, I teach the right way, in English, god bless Buddy
Do you have a step-by-step blueprint for someone to learn this that is not in Catskill, New York? I am in Texas and want to learn everything exactly as you teach it. Do you have an online course or community where you teach everything step-by-step online?
Have you done a video yet that covers the basic daily routine? first this, then that, then this thing, then that thing, etc? Sometimes it's hard to remember all the "things we do every day" when learning a new approach, so having a "daily routine schedule" would be really helpful.
Carter the boyyy - great vid, at the end you were talking about keeping poker face and not showing intimidation. Could you bring back some of those videos and help us out more with the psychological part, I feel like recently it’s been more physical videos, and they’ve been great, I think the basics have been covered, maybe some psychology videos next? I still need help overcoming fear and intimidating the guy and controlling myself. Thanks bro
Thanks for the video! Can we get a video with the movements we’re supposed to do in between punching the Willie bag (slips/dips)? Also why do you have fighters throw the body jab with their arm twisted like in the video?
I am so jealous of you man. Been wanting to learn this style for decades. I only know of one of cus's students on youtube that teaches or taught it. I think his name is Jerry? He was a pro fighter under cus. I think he is someplace like tennessee or kentucky. Good luck and keep it up!
I want to learn the cus style. But my right arm is shorter than my left. Other examples are Baxter Humby and Jake Peacock. Any tips for guard to cover or a mobile guard maybe?
Carter for what reason we extend before our combination our fists is it for more power or to irritate the opponent i have seen you do that too And should we do it every time on the bag ect too

could you make a video on how to track our progress do i just record a video every day do i just track slipping a step by step guide would help alot thanks
Is there a general email in order to ask questions etc.. I’m definitely out of my prime. I boxed amateur for about 10 years, taught boxing but I never learned the Cus style. Also, can a person put numbers on their heavy bag and anchor it so it doesn’t move like the Willie Bag to practice the punches correctly and remove the anchor when you’d like to do heavy bag work. Also, when you throw a 3-5 punch combination in the Cus style do you slip, roll(knee bend) and move in general once you throw the combination.
I have a question. I currently go to a local boxning gym wgere i live, and they have bags with numbers, but the numbers represent different punches. 1,2 jab cross, 3 left hook, 4 right uppercut to body/head, 5 left uppercut to body/head, 6 overhand right to head, 7 overhand left to head, 8 right hook. If these numbers are already ingrained into me, xan i keep using them especially at home where i have my own bags? Or should i try to re learn them the cus way?
Regardless of the elusiveness factor, I believe that for anyone to effectively apply the peek a boo style they require an above average chin. Could the defensive style (with the gloves placed high either side of the cheeks) still work in a bare knuckle scenario without the large gloves providing the extra cover I wonder?
@@rameshhansaravendra you need to find a gym in your area and start there. Watching boxing UA-cam videos and training at your house is not going to make you an amazing boxer
Such a stupid reply. They never said they were looking to use it on a short opponent; you ASSUMED this. They asked HOW one would use it against a shorter fighter, which is a valid question. Don't want to answer it? Stay in your lane.
How do we evade bodyshots ive always had this issue with the peekaboo style especially my short reach leaves my solar plexus open and i get hit alot there
Hello carter, What do you think about making a combination of the traditional style and the peekaboo? One in short distance for taller opponents, and the traditional (for example, how naoya inoue fights) in medium range with the same height opponents? Or even switching in the same round? I love your videos, ill be waiting the answer!!
I’ve been practicing the Cus D’Amato style for 1.5 years now, and I’ve developed pretty good head movement. I’ve made significant progress by using the ZEN technique. However, I have a problem. I find it challenging to spar against volume punchers. How would you advise Cus D’Amato-style fighters to spar effectively against volume punchers?
Could you make a video on how to use the Willie bag for level 2. I’m feeling pretty confident with the first tape, from 1-7 consecutively, but the second tape I don’t know how to move my head after combinations. For example if we do - 1 we weave right weave left. But if if do a combo let’s just say example 2,3,7 does that mean since I end on 7 I do the, left right left slip ? Or do I slip after every punch in a combo(I’m guessing obviously no) Or if I end on an uppercut number does that mean I do the crouch weave weave ? It would be so helpful to visually see how to do it. Keep up the great video bro
@@SomeRandomDude690 he actually does in other videos. Long story short. Some fighters need much longer than others. The progression is different for everyone. 3 min in warm up 2 x is what I recall. More if needed. Don't progress until it's gotten
Cool to see you trying to keep peekaboo boxing alive since Kevin rooney is in a nursing home and can't teach have you thought about reaching out to Mike he's the last person to use Cus style effectively and become the youngest heavy weight world champion would be cool to see him come and teach what Kevin and Cus taught him to you so you can pass it on to your students
@@ericsingh7354 Don’t be predictable, switch it up once you have the movements down. Most coaches think the Cus style is a joke because they don’t understand it and there’s been many bad imitators over the years which have given it a bad name 🥊
Hey man I remember you saying once that a heavy bag should be used a footwork device. Can you give a short demonstration on how to do that effectively?
Hello I really really want to work and train in your fight gym. I don't have a place in NY or USA but I really want to come there. I can do all work and chores just for training and a place to sleep. If you can help me I will be very appreciated. Thank you
I don’t do boxing, but I discovered what I later learned most call the Cus di Amato Peekaboo on my own before I ever knew Cus existed. I do Pankration Wing Chun, a true martial art, made to survive, not game cock for ego or prize money, against multiple assailants wielding weapons from boots bottles fists rocks the cudgel and the cosh to blades and ropes. I simply thought to myself, how do you attack the enemy’s vital targets, while constantly moving your own vitals and not just evasively but to boomerang body weight momentum into the attack making every movement both offensive and defensive. Experienced combat veterans taught me a soldier who doesn’t move, is a dead soldier, who’s gonna eat a grenade. You have to hit, and move, and hit, and move, and sometimes move move move before you get that hit. So I divided the enemy’s upper body because the only 2 one hit insta kill switches on his body are in the upper body, the heart, and the cerebral coretex. There are other kill targets, but they are not instantaneous. A fatal femoral artery chop still gives him enough time to return the favour. We use all natural weapons, fist and feet, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips, some even use headbutts but that’s not the correct way to use your head, and of course we also use cold steel. Kicking can be lethal especially trained correctly, but our primary weapons are our fists, which trained well can easily dome a skull. A trained taekwondo man can fire a kick just as fast as a boxer can fire a punch, but he cannot do it backing up, and he cannot do it with the rate of fire and more importantly the rate of sustained fire, that fists can do. Animals with feet are food for animals with hands. Hands heal faster than feet. So we have a lot in common with modern boxing, except, we don’t wear gloves, train exclusively for reality, most of which happens in parking lots on concrete or asphalt, and train specifically to break bones. What you call in your Cus Peekaboo a 1 2, 5 6 and a 3 4, 7 8, we call 外門 and 內門 respectively, woi mun, loi mun, outer gate, inner gate, verbatim, or outside the gate, and inside the gate, because it’s not just your universe, you’re also in his world, he too has natural weapons, and he will use them, if you don’t shut him down. There are ways to cock block so to speak or check his trajectory so he can’t even fire the shot because your arms are in the way, because you got there first. The real secret to the ‘Peekaboo’, I don’t call it that, I call it the Avenging Angel, the Phantom Blitz, the Asura’s Ecstasy, Rolling Thunder, Reaving Dragon, isn’t just the targeting or the conditioning or the head and shoulder movement, all of that is of course necessary, but the real secret most people overlook, because they’re stupid and lazy, is the foot work: the lion fights with his hands and kills with his bite, but without his feet, he never gets in range. Shifting your feet and therefore entire mass, costs energy. Most people don’t want to do that. They are lazy, soft and marbled. With training, running down wild rabbits is easy, and fun. People don’t look at the foot work, it’s not sexy. We call it internal arts, because you cannot see a tsunami or tidal wave when it’s in the deep, you only see it when it overwhelms you. The synchronized feet and fists or the 9 and 13 dragon pearls as we call it, creates that whole body behind the shot, except the body can blitz and flank left and right at whim, exploiting the 3 second OODA loop on normies and 0.5 second blind spot on trained fighters or the 0.24 second blind spot on masters. Sometimes I do it at the park using a football or basket ball line painted on the ground as a guidance, remembering 3 out of 4 firearms victims in North America were shot within 5 feet, 98% were shot within 9-12 feet, and just have fun synchronizing and whirlwinding the feet fists and body weight into the enemy's spine, golden bowl, silver chord, without scaring people by throwing real power. People think I’m just in a good mood and playing. I am in a good mood. I’m not playing. The pink juice that comes out of the brain smells like bananas, a good shot will have their eye balls pop out of their skull when the fist enters their skull 4 inches deep. I know. My master who learned this executing enemy soldiers in the Vietnam War, taught me. And there’s the 七孔流血 qi kong liu xie, blood flowing from 7 holes. Glamour cocks train muscles for show, they don’t know much about muscles for go. They train the biceps and the pecs, but they always sport chicken bone calves and chopstick wrists. Boxing is the same. In the martial arts, it’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see, that will kill you. And I’ll give you this since your and Cus’ school or gym, is called the Catskill: I saw in Taiwan 3 police German Shepherds try to kill a cat, 3 large trained police German shepherd dogs attacking in concert, against this one cat, and he held them off, they couldn’t touch him, his speed was that good. It’s now proven that cat speed and reflexes are faster, than snake strike. The trained human hand is also faster than snake strike, or even faster than a horse fly or gadfly. The alley in Hong Kong where I trained for years, Hong Kong is where the SAS and subsequent American Special Forces founding commando instructor, “cut his teeth” as they like to say in the homicide capital of the world before WW2, because it’s the only place I could find an outdoor wall not connected to a building for striking, we don’t use bags or bag work, we use construction 2 by 4’s, hanging on a wall, bare knuckle, for beginners that’s a concrete pillar or spine of a building with steel rebar reinforced, and they start with sand filled rough canvas wall bags, they're not ready for 2by4's for perhaps 2 years, but very quickly if they don’t quit in the first year, 96% quit everything they ever started not just their relationships, they quit on themselves, then, very quickly they’re going to have to find an outdoor wall not connected to any building, otherwise the entire building booms like a drum, thanks to cortical remodeling hypertrophy neuropathway activation synaptic syncing compound growth by orders of magnitude. Normies are just bags of meat, so lazy they can’t even succeed at fucking, hence the 85% lifetime divorce rate that somehow coincides with the 80% male obesity rate, they don’t understand the power of the human spirit focused patiently and consistently, week after week after month after month after year after year after decade after decade, and it really only takes 1 year to be able to deal injuries that ER surgeons only see in car accidents. I found an old wall behind a park, 44 feet deep brick wall, no one goes there but drunks to piss, delivery drivers to park their motorbike, and cats, lots of cats. I counted 27. In the summer heat, 35C, 95% humidity, with them pissing and shitting everywhere, and the scent of drunks pissing in the alley, it’s quite the aroma. It is just as well. Most men shit themselves, literally, when they see death. Death won’t take a rain check, and neither do real warriors. It is well that you are teaching Cus’ legacy. Tyson is an idiot. He could have been a master coach and taught thousands of students. But he’s not a force multiplier or teacher. Too selfish, he doesn’t have the patience. And too selfish, "Why teach when I can make more money doing interviews and movies?" and apparently recently fleecing the goldfish one last time, a boring spectacle that of course was rigged that I didn't even bother to watch. Modern sports is just a money laundering front, and it's all rigged, as they openly told you ever since the world cup in the godfather and Alita, "No one's bigger than the game". He’s just a career criminal Cus saved. In the end it won’t make a bit of difference. Cast not pearls before swine. After we are gone, over a thousand year time line, Cus’ efforts in training Tyson will be as if they had never been, like bubbles of foam on the surface of the sea that pop and are no more, nothing is passed on. He was just a weed, not a rose, not a fruit, not a Holy Seed. The business of life and the Living God, is the living. In Chinese they say “a teacher will not get rich, neither will he starve”. In India they say, “If the poor boy cannot go to education, a true master will go to the poor boy.” Teaching the next generation and passing the torch of knowledge is the living legacy and way to honour those who came before and repay one’s moral debt. This is, The Way. Kudos to you, a Hellenic word that means magical mystical glory, the onus, the burden, he who finds or is given a treasure, must also bear the burden of carrying it, until it is passed on, and also the privilege, to serve. This is the motto of the Levitical Priesthood hearkening back to King David and even King Yudhishthira before him, Ich Dien, I serve. One of my masters, who taught the British Royal Hong Kong police elite G4 unit at the time, in his school he has only photos of himself. “It is like a temple, a temple to himself. He has real Kungfu but does not pass it on. What he teaches is watered down. He keeps the real knowledge for himself.” For this reason, he will not be remembered. Real masters don’t keep images of themselves in their school. They keep photos or tokens of their masters before, and are too busy nurturing and building and training their students to have time to worship themselves. The heroes of a nation are just the common folk, the little people, the diamonds in the rough, who never got discovered, until they are polished and honed by a master. No Merlin, no Arthur, no Chanakya, no Chandragupta, no Aristotle, no Alexander. A teacher is a force multiplier and an architect of the future. And tomorrow belongs to me.
pls do me the favor of liking this so it will actually be seen. you should try to covert this to MMA bc it would probably dominant with the tempo pushing and things like crosgar, long gard, and tie plum make it sound intimidating
@@jxrinYTWhat? The skill level is going to be astronomically asinine in a couple of years. MMA is new asf rn. Highest skill ceiling combat sport. The current featherweight champ of this era could rape the heavyweight boxing champ goat.
It's only peek a boo style if the fighter is fast enough and of clear enough mind to anticipate the strikes very very early, most people will never be that good so for them its knock out style not peek a boo style. And before anyone says anything dumb, I myself have taken down a 300+ pound good fighter using peek a boo style, at only 175 lbs myself
One big question Carter wasnt Cus style created just for shorter boxers? I always thought it was idea, cant imagine 6'1 or 6'2 man doing peek a boo style, just wondering 🦍
Its a short in fighter type style yes but the psychological idealism and aspect of it is what allows for it, so in reality anyone training through Cus could do it under the proper circumstances obviously you get different specimens humans but at the end of the day, it's how Cus taught it that makes it special
@@rdgamer8642 Thanks, you should have a tight defense at all times, so the only thing you should be doing is slightly adjusting the positioning of your arms to take the shots better. But also remember that when someone is hitting you guard, that’s a great time to counter punch. And this style isn’t about reacting, it’s about setting the pace and creating openings so that the other guy fights your fight 🥊
Why is Kevin Rooney not getting his props? I get that he might not have been Cus but he clearly improved Tyson even after Cus died. Tyson started to become a stationairy big puncher after Rooney.
Peek a boo is hard to master. A lot of physical training, not just boxing drills. It takes time to master a rapid distance closure. Kung fu style of boxing))
@Azteca-v1m One can only be beaten if they allow themselves to be beaten. It is you against you, but yes time takes every one out. This is what makes us human
Yall are crazy. The heavyweights division right now at this very moment is wide open for the right guy with this style. No, the style is not for everyone and yes its made for a young man. But and a big but, if you duplicate his training exactly the way he did you could destroy anthony joshua in a couple rounds. Deontay outta here, usyk out cold, tyson fury, please. These guys are big and slow. Strong yes and they dont slip after punches. I only wish i was 16 today so it could be me. Oh yeah you have to be hungry and from the hood. A suburbs or rich or well off kid cant do this. You have to be a killer.
While peekaboo is amazing for boxing, especially if ur a short stocky person with a forehead that is like a brick n a strong neck to support hits in case u duck into punches, which will happen. But if ur not then still train it a but so u can understand its weaknesses and fight better against it. Needless to say muay thai or mma don't use this. Just a warning to beginners that don't understand the game yet
Works great for Muay Thai, just stay higher so you don't eat kicks or knee strikes. And keep the pendulum motion really erratic. MMA striking is trickier because you have to defend takedowns.
It seems (from a total lay perspective) that you can’t really duck into punches that hurt you necessarily because your arms are always fully covering your whole head.
A tight guard still absorbs shock, especially if u lean into the punch and create a collision. U can still get hurt. Plus fully covered doesn't exist. Its a great system don't get me wrong, but not everyone will like it. People that can't take a lot of punishment will crumble on it
BS. This is pure bs. Like saying we train more, we are in better shape and whatever. Pro boxers train at absulute max humanly possible. You cant train more than 24h a day. Also saying you have more stamina, while moving 3-4 times more. Its just silly.
Interesting vid. Dude conflates boxing style with levels of training. I'll have to watch a few more to figure out why he's doing this. Biggest obstacle he faces in selling the Cus style is that Mike Tyson is still the highest level practitioner we've seen and he hasn't dominated with it since '96. We're already in the second generation of Soviet style champs and nobody's brought back peekaboo? Sus.
Let’s not pretend that the “Cus” style is “so effective”. We haven’t seen anyone use it successfully in decades and there’s only been a handful of champions who used it. The excuse that no one has taught it properly is kind of laughable if your credibility comes from those who were trained by Teddy Atlas. Did Teddy Atlas ever have a championship fighter use that style? No. Michael Moorer, not Tim Bradley or Povetkin. He actually continued having Gvozdyk do the complete opposite style. Teddy knew it was a fading style and only certain attributes could be carried on from it but not 100% implementation. There’s a kid name Raleek Born out of Brooklyn that would give any of your fighters trouble no matter size or age because of “his” style.
@ the general public doesn’t know about Raleek Born. The skills I see in that kid could never be defeated by someone limiting themselves to one style. A style that doesn’t even train how to fight from both sides of the line. The back angle is non existent, pull counters become limited. If you fight someone capable of pushing you back youre finished. There’s a reason a right cross was never utilized correctly by any of Cus’ fighters because when you’re so squared up the back hand can only be properly coiled by telegraphing or setting up with a jab.
@@Azteca-v1m exactly so trying to teach the old way of Cus to fighters is only going to get them beat up by todays boxers. I mean if cus was immortal im sure his style would evolve. But he wasn’t and you can’t take his style he was teaching in the 60s and 70s and 100% apply it today. That’s why I said there are something’s you can take away from the style.
You're the best! I'm an old man, but I'm rooting for you. You're carrying on Cus' legacy!
The job of a professional fighter is to hit not get hit but at the same time be exciting being entertaining be crowdpleasing. So true you gotta be clever and gotta be smart and not get hit when you’re able to do this you are a fighter put profound and true words.

could you make a video on how to track our progress do i just record a video every day do i just track slipping a step by step guide would help alot thanks
Is there a general email in order to ask questions etc.. I’m definitely out of my prime. I boxed amateur for about 10 years, taught boxing but I never learned the Cus style. Also, can a person put numbers on their heavy bag and anchor it so it doesn’t move like the Willie Bag to practice the punches correctly and remove the anchor when you’d like to do heavy bag work. Also, when you throw a 3-5 punch combination in the Cus style do you slip, roll(knee bend) and move in general once you throw the combination.
Hey bro, you had 200 subscirebs when i commented and now you're growing and growing, hope you remember me🙏🏻
@@Sonny_Liston I do! Thank you for the support 🥊
Could you do a video on other peekaboo fighters like floyd patterson??
Hello coach,can we get a video on how to throw combinations fast with demonstration on the footwork. Ty
I have a question. I currently go to a local boxning gym wgere i live, and they have bags with numbers, but the numbers represent different punches. 1,2 jab cross, 3 left hook, 4 right uppercut to body/head, 5 left uppercut to body/head, 6 overhand right to head, 7 overhand left to head, 8 right hook. If these numbers are already ingrained into me, xan i keep using them especially at home where i have my own bags? Or should i try to re learn them the cus way?
Can you make a video on the peek-a-boo shiftings
Regardless of the elusiveness factor, I believe that for anyone to effectively apply the peek a boo style they require an above average chin. Could the defensive style (with the gloves placed high either side of the cheeks) still work in a bare knuckle scenario without the large gloves providing the extra cover I wonder?
How do you use the peek a boo style against a shorter opponent?
Such a stupid question
@@Azteca-v1m please explain
@@rameshhansaravendra you need to find a gym in your area and start there. Watching boxing UA-cam videos and training at your house is not going to make you an amazing boxer
Such a stupid reply. They never said they were looking to use it on a short opponent; you ASSUMED this. They asked HOW one would use it against a shorter fighter, which is a valid question. Don't want to answer it? Stay in your lane.
How do we evade bodyshots ive always had this issue with the peekaboo style especially my short reach leaves my solar plexus open and i get hit alot there
I’ve got a short reach also which is why I think this style will be perfect for me.
Please teach us how to make a Willie bag!
Thanks Carter.
Hello carter, What do you think about making a combination of the traditional style and the peekaboo? One in short distance for taller opponents, and the traditional (for example, how naoya inoue fights) in medium range with the same height opponents? Or even switching in the same round? I love your videos, ill be waiting the answer!!
Iam not getting in shape iam 18 years old iam training very hard but not in shpe how plz tell me
Roids
Love the video! I would really like to be a great boxer. How can I do so at home? What should I practice where should I start?
big fan of peekaboo style, but always have had one question, isn't the peekaboo stance leaves the middle part of body empty?
Yes that’s why you move your feet
I’ve been practicing the Cus D’Amato style for 1.5 years now, and I’ve developed pretty good head movement. I’ve made significant progress by using the ZEN technique. However, I have a problem. I find it challenging to spar against volume punchers. How would you advise Cus D’Amato-style fighters to spar effectively against volume punchers?
I have a question, will the Williebag only be beginner tape for a long time?
Could you make a video on how to use the Willie bag for level 2. I’m feeling pretty confident with the first tape, from 1-7 consecutively, but the second tape I don’t know how to move my head after combinations. For example if we do - 1 we weave right weave left. But if if do a combo let’s just say example 2,3,7 does that mean since I end on 7 I do the, left right left slip ? Or do I slip after every punch in a combo(I’m guessing obviously no) Or if I end on an uppercut number does that mean I do the crouch weave weave ? It would be so helpful to visually see how to do it.
Keep up the great video bro

Cool to see you trying to keep peekaboo boxing alive since Kevin rooney is in a nursing home and can't teach have you thought about reaching out to Mike he's the last person to use Cus style effectively and become the youngest heavy weight world champion would be cool to see him come and teach what Kevin and Cus taught him to you so you can pass it on to your students
Coach, my coach says slipping in the cus style is too square and I’ll get cracked with a shot if timed correctly, how would you counter that
@@ericsingh7354 Don’t be predictable, switch it up once you have the movements down. Most coaches think the Cus style is a joke because they don’t understand it and there’s been many bad imitators over the years which have given it a bad name 🥊

How the fuck are you supposed to deal against uppercuts though. Uppercuts seem to shit on peek a boo or am I missing something.
You just gotta watch out for the uppercut you can counter the upper cut with a hook easy learn how to deal with the uppercut
I don’t do boxing, but I discovered what I later learned most call the Cus di Amato Peekaboo on my own before I ever knew Cus existed. I do Pankration Wing Chun, a true martial art, made to survive, not game cock for ego or prize money, against multiple assailants wielding weapons from boots bottles fists rocks the cudgel and the cosh to blades and ropes. I simply thought to myself, how do you attack the enemy’s vital targets, while constantly moving your own vitals and not just evasively but to boomerang body weight momentum into the attack making every movement both offensive and defensive. Experienced combat veterans taught me a soldier who doesn’t move, is a dead soldier, who’s gonna eat a grenade. You have to hit, and move, and hit, and move, and sometimes move move move before you get that hit. So I divided the enemy’s upper body because the only 2 one hit insta kill switches on his body are in the upper body, the heart, and the cerebral coretex. There are other kill targets, but they are not instantaneous. A fatal femoral artery chop still gives him enough time to return the favour. We use all natural weapons, fist and feet, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips, some even use headbutts but that’s not the correct way to use your head, and of course we also use cold steel. Kicking can be lethal especially trained correctly, but our primary weapons are our fists, which trained well can easily dome a skull. A trained taekwondo man can fire a kick just as fast as a boxer can fire a punch, but he cannot do it backing up, and he cannot do it with the rate of fire and more importantly the rate of sustained fire, that fists can do. Animals with feet are food for animals with hands. Hands heal faster than feet. So we have a lot in common with modern boxing, except, we don’t wear gloves, train exclusively for reality, most of which happens in parking lots on concrete or asphalt, and train specifically to break bones. What you call in your Cus Peekaboo a 1 2, 5 6 and a 3 4, 7 8, we call 外門 and 內門 respectively, woi mun, loi mun, outer gate, inner gate, verbatim, or outside the gate, and inside the gate, because it’s not just your universe, you’re also in his world, he too has natural weapons, and he will use them, if you don’t shut him down. There are ways to cock block so to speak or check his trajectory so he can’t even fire the shot because your arms are in the way, because you got there first. The real secret to the ‘Peekaboo’, I don’t call it that, I call it the Avenging Angel, the Phantom Blitz, the Asura’s Ecstasy, Rolling Thunder, Reaving Dragon, isn’t just the targeting or the conditioning or the head and shoulder movement, all of that is of course necessary, but the real secret most people overlook, because they’re stupid and lazy, is the foot work: the lion fights with his hands and kills with his bite, but without his feet, he never gets in range. Shifting your feet and therefore entire mass, costs energy. Most people don’t want to do that. They are lazy, soft and marbled. With training, running down wild rabbits is easy, and fun. People don’t look at the foot work, it’s not sexy. We call it internal arts, because you cannot see a tsunami or tidal wave when it’s in the deep, you only see it when it overwhelms you. The synchronized feet and fists or the 9 and 13 dragon pearls as we call it, creates that whole body behind the shot, except the body can blitz and flank left and right at whim, exploiting the 3 second OODA loop on normies and 0.5 second blind spot on trained fighters or the 0.24 second blind spot on masters. Sometimes I do it at the park using a football or basket ball line painted on the ground as a guidance, remembering 3 out of 4 firearms victims in North America were shot within 5 feet, 98% were shot within 9-12 feet, and just have fun synchronizing and whirlwinding the feet fists and body weight into the enemy's spine, golden bowl, silver chord, without scaring people by throwing real power. People think I’m just in a good mood and playing. I am in a good mood. I’m not playing. The pink juice that comes out of the brain smells like bananas, a good shot will have their eye balls pop out of their skull when the fist enters their skull 4 inches deep. I know. My master who learned this executing enemy soldiers in the Vietnam War, taught me. And there’s the 七孔流血 qi kong liu xie, blood flowing from 7 holes.
Glamour cocks train muscles for show, they don’t know much about muscles for go. They train the biceps and the pecs, but they always sport chicken bone calves and chopstick wrists. Boxing is the same.
In the martial arts, it’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see, that will kill you.
And I’ll give you this since your and Cus’ school or gym, is called the Catskill:
I saw in Taiwan 3 police German Shepherds try to kill a cat, 3 large trained police German shepherd dogs attacking in concert, against this one cat, and he held them off, they couldn’t touch him, his speed was that good. It’s now proven that cat speed and reflexes are faster, than snake strike. The trained human hand is also faster than snake strike, or even faster than a horse fly or gadfly. The alley in Hong Kong where I trained for years, Hong Kong is where the SAS and subsequent American Special Forces founding commando instructor, “cut his teeth” as they like to say in the homicide capital of the world before WW2, because it’s the only place I could find an outdoor wall not connected to a building for striking, we don’t use bags or bag work, we use construction 2 by 4’s, hanging on a wall, bare knuckle, for beginners that’s a concrete pillar or spine of a building with steel rebar reinforced, and they start with sand filled rough canvas wall bags, they're not ready for 2by4's for perhaps 2 years, but very quickly if they don’t quit in the first year, 96% quit everything they ever started not just their relationships, they quit on themselves, then, very quickly they’re going to have to find an outdoor wall not connected to any building, otherwise the entire building booms like a drum, thanks to cortical remodeling hypertrophy neuropathway activation synaptic syncing compound growth by orders of magnitude. Normies are just bags of meat, so lazy they can’t even succeed at fucking, hence the 85% lifetime divorce rate that somehow coincides with the 80% male obesity rate, they don’t understand the power of the human spirit focused patiently and consistently, week after week after month after month after year after year after decade after decade, and it really only takes 1 year to be able to deal injuries that ER surgeons only see in car accidents. I found an old wall behind a park, 44 feet deep brick wall, no one goes there but drunks to piss, delivery drivers to park their motorbike, and cats, lots of cats. I counted 27. In the summer heat, 35C, 95% humidity, with them pissing and shitting everywhere, and the scent of drunks pissing in the alley, it’s quite the aroma. It is just as well. Most men shit themselves, literally, when they see death. Death won’t take a rain check, and neither do real warriors.
It is well that you are teaching Cus’ legacy. Tyson is an idiot. He could have been a master coach and taught thousands of students. But he’s not a force multiplier or teacher. Too selfish, he doesn’t have the patience. And too selfish, "Why teach when I can make more money doing interviews and movies?" and apparently recently fleecing the goldfish one last time, a boring spectacle that of course was rigged that I didn't even bother to watch. Modern sports is just a money laundering front, and it's all rigged, as they openly told you ever since the world cup in the godfather and Alita, "No one's bigger than the game". He’s just a career criminal Cus saved. In the end it won’t make a bit of difference. Cast not pearls before swine. After we are gone, over a thousand year time line, Cus’ efforts in training Tyson will be as if they had never been, like bubbles of foam on the surface of the sea that pop and are no more, nothing is passed on. He was just a weed, not a rose, not a fruit, not a Holy Seed. The business of life and the Living God, is the living. In Chinese they say “a teacher will not get rich, neither will he starve”. In India they say, “If the poor boy cannot go to education, a true master will go to the poor boy.” Teaching the next generation and passing the torch of knowledge is the living legacy and way to honour those who came before and repay one’s moral debt. This is, The Way.
Kudos to you, a Hellenic word that means magical mystical glory, the onus, the burden, he who finds or is given a treasure, must also bear the burden of carrying it, until it is passed on, and also the privilege, to serve. This is the motto of the Levitical Priesthood hearkening back to King David and even King Yudhishthira before him, Ich Dien, I serve.
One of my masters, who taught the British Royal Hong Kong police elite G4 unit at the time, in his school he has only photos of himself. “It is like a temple, a temple to himself. He has real Kungfu but does not pass it on. What he teaches is watered down. He keeps the real knowledge for himself.” For this reason, he will not be remembered. Real masters don’t keep images of themselves in their school. They keep photos or tokens of their masters before, and are too busy nurturing and building and training their students to have time to worship themselves. The heroes of a nation are just the common folk, the little people, the diamonds in the rough, who never got discovered, until they are polished and honed by a master. No Merlin, no Arthur, no Chanakya, no Chandragupta, no Aristotle, no Alexander. A teacher is a force multiplier and an architect of the future. And tomorrow belongs to me.

It's only peek a boo style if the fighter is fast enough and of clear enough mind to anticipate the strikes very very early, most people will never be that good so for them its knock out style not peek a boo style. And before anyone says anything dumb, I myself have taken down a 300+ pound good fighter using peek a boo style, at only 175 lbs myself
One big question Carter wasnt Cus style created just for shorter boxers? I always thought it was idea, cant imagine 6'1 or 6'2 man doing peek a boo style, just wondering 🦍
Its a short in fighter type style yes but the psychological idealism and aspect of it is what allows for it, so in reality anyone training through Cus could do it under the proper circumstances obviously you get different specimens humans but at the end of the day, it's how Cus taught it that makes it special
Coach, how do you block/slip body shots?
Love the new haircut btw
@@rdgamer8642 Thanks, you should have a tight defense at all times, so the only thing you should be doing is slightly adjusting the positioning of your arms to take the shots better. But also remember that when someone is hitting you guard, that’s a great time to counter punch. And this style isn’t about reacting, it’s about setting the pace and creating openings so that the other guy fights your fight 🥊
@@peekabooboxingacademy Thank you, i hope i can stop by the gym at some point if im ever in catskill

I have never seen leg training in the style of peekaboo, leg training is one of the basics of this style, how to train your legs?
Explosive squats
After squats, your legs get tired quickly
Why is Kevin Rooney not getting his props? I get that he might not have been Cus but he clearly improved Tyson even after Cus died. Tyson started to become a stationairy big puncher after Rooney.

I’m 60, but I’m convinced I could do it. I’m still in great shape and I have a strong work ethic.
Nice haircut
While peekaboo is amazing for boxing, especially if ur a short stocky person with a forehead that is like a brick n a strong neck to support hits in case u duck into punches, which will happen. But if ur not then still train it a but so u can understand its weaknesses and fight better against it.
Needless to say muay thai or mma don't use this. Just a warning to beginners that don't understand the game yet
Works great for Muay Thai, just stay higher so you don't eat kicks or knee strikes. And keep the pendulum motion really erratic.
MMA striking is trickier because you have to defend takedowns.
It seems (from a total lay perspective) that you can’t really duck into punches that hurt you necessarily because your arms are always fully covering your whole head.
@@littleconstantinei still feel u will duck into kicks or headkicks with good opponents ala usman
A tight guard still absorbs shock, especially if u lean into the punch and create a collision. U can still get hurt. Plus fully covered doesn't exist. Its a great system don't get me wrong, but not everyone will like it. People that can't take a lot of punishment will crumble on it
Talk is cheap. How many new champions from Catskill are there now?
BS. This is pure bs. Like saying we train more, we are in better shape and whatever. Pro boxers train at absulute max humanly possible. You cant train more than 24h a day. Also saying you have more stamina, while moving 3-4 times more. Its just silly.
Too much explanation with almost no examples
Holy shit I'm early
Interesting vid. Dude conflates boxing style with levels of training. I'll have to watch a few more to figure out why he's doing this.
Biggest obstacle he faces in selling the Cus style is that Mike Tyson is still the highest level practitioner we've seen and he hasn't dominated with it since '96. We're already in the second generation of Soviet style champs and nobody's brought back peekaboo? Sus.
Let’s not pretend that the “Cus” style is “so effective”. We haven’t seen anyone use it successfully in decades and there’s only been a handful of champions who used it. The excuse that no one has taught it properly is kind of laughable if your credibility comes from those who were trained by Teddy Atlas. Did Teddy Atlas ever have a championship fighter use that style? No. Michael Moorer, not Tim Bradley or Povetkin. He actually continued having Gvozdyk do the complete opposite style. Teddy knew it was a fading style and only certain attributes could be carried on from it but not 100% implementation. There’s a kid name Raleek Born out of Brooklyn that would give any of your fighters trouble no matter size or age because of “his” style.
Quite valid points you make which are asked by general public
@ the general public doesn’t know about Raleek Born. The skills I see in that kid could never be defeated by someone limiting themselves to one style. A style that doesn’t even train how to fight from both sides of the line. The back angle is non existent, pull counters become limited. If you fight someone capable of pushing you back youre finished. There’s a reason a right cross was never utilized correctly by any of Cus’ fighters because when you’re so squared up the back hand can only be properly coiled by telegraphing or setting up with a jab.
Teddy atlas said if cus was alive he would of made adjustments to the style
Why would Teddy teach the peekaboo to someone who’s tall and has long reach
@@Azteca-v1m exactly so trying to teach the old way of Cus to fighters is only going to get them beat up by todays boxers. I mean if cus was immortal im sure his style would evolve. But he wasn’t and you can’t take his style he was teaching in the 60s and 70s and 100% apply it today. That’s why I said there are something’s you can take away from the style.
