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!
How amazing is it that we can have this kind of knowledge so easily accessible on the internet? I have a feeling the coming years are going to be amazing for fighting, with all this virtual cross pollination and open market for ideas... with the cage as the testing ground
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.
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
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! 💪🏾
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
if there's a chance, can you make video on the head slipping or rolling backward, like drunken fist slipping? i see you use it a lot, and so do elite fighters like muhammad ali, lerdzilla, etc. maybe some details on how you do it, when is the best and worst time to do it, what to do to avoid risk etc
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.
What size gloves do you usually spar in Jeff? I just got a pair of the 16 oz. Primo’s and they are HUGE! I honestly am going to return them, they are so big. Not trying to walk in the gym with sock em boppers on…
16 oz are typical sparring size gloves. So u dont damage or recieve a lot of damage when getting Punched in the face. Kinda surprising people spar in lighter gloves
@@Peterchad1 Exactly, that’s what size I have now and the gym I’m at actually requires 16 oz to spar (not to say some sneak it). But I knew Primo’s were known to run big, but in person it was even more of a shock and overwhelming… I’m going to try and return them and just get 12’s or 14’s, sucks cuz it’s all they way in Bangkok haha
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

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
Great Video!

I think jeff saw Matrix too much
😂
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
💪💪💪
Very educational
Thanks for watching !
Nice 💪👍

Great video! Also if dont wrong mike tyson used to slip inside

"would you rather break your foot or your face"...well when you put it that way :)
