I always tell my students that when it comes down to it, fighting is jazz. Everything you mean to do is valid, just try to make smart choices. Everything that happens without your intention is wrong, even if you happen to land a hit with it.
I'm in the same position. Although I don't do any martial arts, I injured my trapezius doing a very difficult push up exercise and going way too hard than I should have. I've spent 3 months recovering and strengthening my back and neck muscles and will definitely ease back into calisthenics. OS!
There is a counter to everything, some tendencies are good to learn first to be safer, but eventually it becomes predictable, and that is much more dangerous.
Wonderboy will over commit on a cross and when he exists he'll land in the opposite stance and sometimes he'll a double step low kick too. You see it when he fought Whittaker and Chris Clements
@@astadeclover8411 I think he's my favorite guy to watch when it comes to pulling back or sliding back and countering with a cross. Jeff has shown this before.
100% agree with the cross parries. I think the lead hand can be used for distance control allowing the rear hand to parry and block punches as it tends to be quicker as it is less projected. Should this be done every time? Like any tactic against your opponent it should be mixed up to keep yourself unpredictable. There are no perfect way to fight but there are better ways depending on the situation/opponent.
Tank Davis over commits on the cross so much sometimes that he completely switches stance, but his head movemnt and footwork is so good afterwards that it's hard to punish him for this. Great video Jeff! 💪🏾
Well, thanx for video and advices!!! I ve noticed too, that many trainers got a training script and no time for improvisation. Thanx once again, Jeff. Take care
Im glad i found this video ive been doing muay thai for about 5 years and lately ive thought I've had bad fundamentals for over extending on some punches im a taller person so i fight long so i find myself breaking this rule lol
People are so lucky with these pointers in youtube videos. In my day, you only discovered the rule-breaking after you had done your time and gained the experience!
I've tried slipping on the inside while throwing the cross since your seminar in Nürnberg and it works pretty well, especially when your opponent throws a single jab
That's literally why the punch is called a cross, too. Because you cross over the opponent's jab with your punch. Good stuff, hope your training goes well in the future.
@Demonstormlord I thought its called an overhand when you punch over the opponents Jab, but what you are saying also makes sense. I hope your training also goes well
I'd wager there's been a TON more footbreaks than shin breaks. It's just not talked about bc for the most part, you just walk funny and don't kick with that leg for a while. Fighters break their feet and still finish fights. While foot breaks can be fight ending, shin breaks are almost always catastrophic.
Rafael Fiziev comes to mind regarding fighters who have broken a foot kicking an elbow or a shin. I can´t remember who his rival was, it was in a UFC match.
Very educational! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 The cross parry is also demonstrated by Chinese Sanda coach Zhang Yunxiang here as an application of banlanchui (搬拦捶； bānlánchuí, block, parry, and punch, literally "transfer/move/shift, block, and strike/beat/pound") from Taijiquan, I didn't believe in it until you taught it to me though lol: ua-cam.com/video/XrZorXEWKQ8/v-deo.htmlsi=PVmj_-I1eHW7VrAq&t=277
Hi Jeff, I am new to your role, I have checked out your Testimony video, and several instruction vids on youtube, I am looking for Online Classes with you, how about it?

cheers!!!
I’ve almost fully recovered from my injury, I am so fucking excited to start training again
lets go!!

@ its allabout that warmup baby! Usss
Yeah my left MCL feels compromised so I didn’t go to the gym today… Don’t want to risk paying a lot of $ and being out for half a year or more
@@jty1999 I would definitely look into that on yt and try some self rehab if you need to. Your body will thank you for it later

💯!!
Uploads at 5:00am are golden
:)
Great tips!
thanks so much :)
I feel like a great example of a striker who "breaks alot of rules" is mvp hes so dynamic
Yes!!!

amazing!!!
Wonderboy is my favorite one. His kicks are another level

@@aaronalbert4160 wonderboy is very good dodging punches. Wonderboy and Jeff are my favorite

Thanks Jeff 🙏

"would you rather break your foot or your face"...well when you put it that way :)
😂😂😂
Great video! "Beginner mistakes" can be advanced techniques when done with experience & knowledge
:)
I always learn so much from Jeff

I admire he can handle this❤
:)
(Im back ! Kinda. Struggling with health but on my way for recovery)
wishing you a speed recovery man!
When I slip on the inside I auto duck and move because I expect that straight to come at me you can do it but you need to keep an eye out
💪💪💪
Nice video

I think jeff saw Matrix too much
😂
Always the best! 🔥🔥🔥

Yo Jeff, y'all should spar with Israel Adesanya.
Man I’d love the opportunity !
Nice 💪👍
thank you !
Hey, jeff. Would be dope if you use more takedowns in your sparring.
Hey Jeff I think it would be dope if you made a knee masterclass video if you haven't already
hey try this video: ua-cam.com/video/8_oPtaoOMUk/v-deo.html
@MMAShredded thanks 🙏
Can you do the body shot challenge
Very educational! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Foot kick comes because the missed with a shin also
Does kicking with the instep hurt the opponent?
it hurts a shit load yes lol did you see takeru's leg?
I hit em with the stagnant style to catch em slippin
