These techniques show up in traditional karate, too. Shuto mawashi uke is the framing, chudan soto uke is the block/parry, and the elbow block shows up in pinan san kata. Nice!
Jared's jab game is textbook crisp. Like a piston with a tidy shoulder snap to give it some pop. You can build a career on a rangy jab like that. Best wishes to you both!
Great video, Jared is always awesome. I wouldn’t do most of this in sparring though, unless I know the other guy’s up for it. I really need to practice framing, that’s cool.
@@hard2hurt well, depends who you spar with. If it’s a unfamiliar guy and you start with breaking thumbs and throwing ”accidental” head-butts, shit might get pretty serious fast. And if the guy knows more dirty boxing than you, it might be that you heal injuries for a while and can’t train. Like, there’s a reason why these rules exist. Then again, if it’s your mate and you both do it in kinda ”heh heh, wink wink, nudge nudge” -spirit it’s all good.
in traditional boxing you have a counter that you start with an elbow parry (the one you got from holding mitts) followed by a downward backfist to the nose with the same arm. A similar technique can be found in irish stick fighting.
In Muay Thai, they utilize the 'dracula guard' and 'diamond guard'. Both use the elbows for both defensive and offensive purposes. I ended up working a bit of both into my shadowboxing routine.
Absolutely love this... I'm a JKD and Kali guy... whom also is a Muay Thai coach... I use the elbow "Destructions" a lot in MT... especially in the clinch spiking the knees... it's sooooo hated haha but it has worked for me in sport and self defense situations. Keep up the awesome content brutha!
Great video! Some other uses of the elbow: Freddie Roach taught his guys to follow through their hook with an elbow (very dirty, but, looks unintentional), and of course, Mayweather was infamous for using his elbow to choke, push, and jab his opponents.
I've always done this from the beginning, but I trained muay thai where you can *technically* do anything but grapple. The only real rule in boxing to me is using pure punches on offense. Defense, using any part of your upper body goes. Also, because I used formal training as a way to get good at fighting in any real situation, not just in a ring like most people. That means using the concepts to think and fight, instead of only doing what you're taught in class
I've been doing this for years lol I parry with the rear hand and guide the jab/cross into my front elbow. Also greeeeeaaattt point about pad holding making you a better fighter. Very over looked
SWEET I use my elbow like that to block occasionally especially after I throw a hook with it and the other person quickly counters. I always felt like I was a weirdo, thanks for validating.
If you watch guys like Archie Moore and George forman you’ll see a technique called the cross arm GAURD it’s precursive stance to throwing Elbow and blocking with elbows in boxing
I've been watching your videos since I started combat sports. I think you told me that I have good boxing yesterday after my first IKF and I thought it was so cool that it came from you.
Dude... you should have said something! I took the super weird look you gave me as me getting on your nerves lol. Inside you were like "oh cool the hard2hurt guy" but your face said "get away from me you old weirdo."
@@khairt1731 3:50 That exact technique is called "Skull 'n' Crossbones" from 52 Blocks which is a martial art that mainly consists of blocks and feints.
@@DevilShepherd Yes I know its in their system but it didn't originate from 52 blocks. 52 blocks was invented in the prison system while Kali/Silat originated from the Majaphahit Empire over thousand years ago. Watch "Ong Bak 3" to see all the styles that originated from that region. Muay Thai, Silat, Kali.
Some say 52 blocks or jailhouse rock is an eclectic prison fighting style. Others say it was heavily influenced by the Asian martial arts movie culture on rap or hip hop culture back then. Whatever the case may be the use of elbows as a tool in fighting is not uncommon or has parallel development across many systems. You will see this in older systems like Panantukan, Muay Boran, Silat, Wing Chun, etc. We all have heads, knees and elbows after all which comprise some of the most brutal tools you can use so it would be no surprise to see one system influencing another. I think what distinguishes “skull and crossbones” or “raising the gate” usage is that it’s mainly defensive whereas in something like Panantukan it’s also used offensively against the entire limb and body.
Another elbow block is if they're trying to go over your jab with a cross or an overhand. Instead of retracting the jab, you can raise it up for an elbow block or parry their rear hand.
Hello Iccy Mike there is an old martial art in the African diaspora that uses elbows in boxing, the most famous version is called 52 Blocks and jail house rock . I’m Jamaica 🇯🇲 among the maroons it’s Refereed to Yawd Hand or Yadan I’d love to show it to you.
If you wanna see this high elbow in use, check out Gene Fulmer versus Sugar Ray Robinson. It is known as the reverse Cross guard. For a normal cross guard check out by Archie Moore. This man did not get enough recognition. He refused to shout out to the mafia and was only given a chance of the heavyweight title. When he was very old he still managed to smash Marciano around quite a lot.
As much as a lot of the moves here can be seen in martial arts like Kali, Wing Chun, JKD, 52 blocks, or whatever…I think it goes without saying that specifically training boxing fundamentals is needed to understand how to make these moves work.
Yeah its kinda like how many martial arts forms are lost in translation and you really need to learn actual fighting fundamentals to even begin to imagine what the movements MIGHT mean
@@Rex-golf_player810 Yeah I think people get upset about it but at the end of the day, stuff like boxing and wrestling work well in part because they are the foundation of everything else.
@@Maodifi im not like a super hater of traditional martial arts but i feel like to make stuff from TMA work you kinda have to have some experience in boxing or kickboxing and wrestling or whatever fundamental fighting competition
@@Rex-golf_player810 I agree 100%. I come from a TMA background and when I was taught boxing alongside FMA, I realized how essential those basic combat sports are.
this goes back to the “tyson sequence” bit. your opponent is going to react to the series of combos youre focusing on at the moment. if youre going body body body with tyson combos…your ultimate goal is to make them throw their arms down and go for the chin (as you put it). same example in this case, if someone is tapping your chin with jabs over and over, in that moment, you need to protect the face in expense of your body. you cant protect everything all of the time, you can only hope to adjust in the moment. thanks.
Hey man, I’m trying to reach out to you to ask you a few questions about a video you made (BJJ is not designed for smaller people..) I just saw it and really enjoyed the video. As a former world class striker and now BJJ blue belt (5+ years training), I would like to hear your opinion on a few things. Keep up the videos! Cheers
I just discovered your channel! Great content! Have you ever thought about doing a video about self-defense for physically disabled people? I use a walker and it would be really cool to get some tips!
I would be interested in this as well for my best friend. She has something that makes her have to use a walker on occasion. I would like to have something to show her to help keep her as safe as possible. I have a feeling it would have similar concepts from specific other videos hard2hurt has made. I was thinking along the lines of Mike's tool/weapon of choice or a big deterrent (he has a couple videos on effective uses of flashlights including blinding the attacker). If a video on it was made I would just request that words are carefully chosen. My friend from a young age had to deal with a lot of ablist things and we've talked about how much certain things are very hurtful to her. It shouldn't be an issue on here because Mike is super good at focusing on just the logical side and would never say something demeaning. I'm not saying to sugarcoat a disadvantage. I just want to limit the chance in the comments of someone using something in the video to twist or take something way out of context.
a very quick tip for anyone ever would be: don't do things you shouldn't do with people you shouldn't be with at places you shouldn't be at just my opinion
Elbow checks or blocks are something used a lot in MMA, but also 52 Blocks style of striking. You also see guys using that more since the rise of BKB as a Professional sport. I think, even for Boxing newbies or self defense training, the elbow is a good shield outside the big gloved striking world. It comes natural, it is stable and it also educates good body movement. But I am just a fistfighting enthusiast without great skills, though I really am happy to see some of my own experience and research been shown by real good boxers here. That being said, if you look back in history, you find many of these things in old school boxing aka Pugilism.
The elbow move that you mentioned that looks slightly related to Wing Chun's Bong Sau is actually called Skull and Cross Bones in 52 blocks. It's factual that 52 blocks is more efficient than Wing Chun for defense in boxing and on the streets. There's proof all around, and on UA-cam.
Indeed! I was thinking that as well, as Rokas usually say "there is no canadian geometry" but I kinda want to say of the few things I think about when it comes to wingchun, that's kinda a staple for them. "attacking as a defense" crushing your opponents knuckles is kinda good defense.
The martial art 52 blocks literally specialized in using elbows combined with boxing you should talk to or do a video with lyte burly or sensei mo to learn more about the 52 blocks it's a really good martial art
Hey, dude. I'm a big fan. I had a question that might sound kinda stupid. Do you think it would be in ANY way possible to PRACTICALLY land a flying headbutt/superman headbutt. I know, it sounds wild but would it work because it's so unexpected? IDK.
Coach, you said you only use the rising elbow block when you switch to south paw. How come never in orthodox? It works just as well. (Because I use it as well ;)
So question, I mean I want to get a great head start for fundamentals in self defense. Where should I start? I mean I teach myself, but the biggest downside with self taught is that you fall into habits that can really inhibit you. Whatever that may be. Any advice?
I tried this and failed completely in blocking with punches, I caught a good few with the elbow nicely too, but eventually it wore me down in a body sparring session
Mike Tyson used elbows all the time during his hay day! Those short hooks turned into inside elbows QUICKLY with his speed Floyd would also get warned for elbows under the neck aaaalllll the time
@hard2hurt Hey everyone! Looking for advice I never done any kind of martial arts or combat sports I kinda wanna start doing NoGi Jiu Jitsu, but I'm not sure if I should do it, because I have a lack of mobility in my shoulders (I got surgeries on both of my shoulders after multiple injuries). And same thing with my ankle(lack of mobility after injury and surgery) So yeah, was kind of wondering if I should go for it or not Thanks in advance
I watched one of your old videos, and i haven't joined a fighting gym yet but, (and it sound stupid hearing myself say it after watching the video) I've always tried to imitate tyson in every fight i've been in. I am not trying to be the next mike tyson, I don't wanna be as fast or anything but is it stupid to go to a gym and try to learn how to peekaboo? I have a wingspan of 6'2 at 5'8 and always found it easy to get inside with someone, slip punches or hurt them there. Obviously being short and stocky, big shoulders and insanely large ribcage i can generate alot of power and with my long arms i had reach too but now I feel like i'd get clowned on and danced around by anyone with skill I meet. It realy demotivated me. Can I still try to learn the style I love or should I learn a style that might benefit me more, whatever that be?
Hey everyone, need advice! With a 10 year old daughter, is it better for her to learn the 1,2 with open palm or closed fist? And if closed fist, is it necessary to wrap her hands if she uses mma gloves? Thanks!
Let her coach decide. If she doesn't have a coach, get her one. If she were in our program she would do the majority of her heavy bag and partner training in wraps and boxing gloves, with occasional practice in wraps only, then bareknuckle. I don't teach palm strikes often and never straights (like the 1-2). Sometimes open hand hooks/slaps in the self defense class but never straight. They are objectively worse in almost every way. Armchair Violence did a great video on why they're not that great.
If your posted on his head he cant turn his hips to punch with any significant power. If you are pushing he will also be off balance. Him swinging with only his arm with all his weight on the back foot is not an issue.
I've done wing Chung and there was two other UA-camrs one was fight science (which I have visited and trained a bit with) and another but I forgot the name but sensei Seth made a video about wing Chung on him. In all honesty Mike you should learn wing Chung and think of it as more of a deflecting and aggressive attack style rather than a defence type style. It is a very misunderstood martial art in my opinion and could be the best one but nobody knows how to use it correctly other than the two I mentioned. The one sensei Seth made a video with you could contact him since he's in the same country unlike fight science he's in the UK. Looking forward to the next video hopefully it's on this (^^)
@@hard2hurt Joking aside, Many styles of kung fu use these applications, I particularly like the way that you apply the high wing arm (a.k.a bung sau) at 4.14. This is classic Hung gar kuen kung fu. Thumping people, is still thumping people by any other name. You are indeed a master of kung fu.
The context in which you showed the so-called elbow strikes are pretty much on point but I've seen some ludicrous applications of this from JKD people who believe that you can stand outside punching range and block incoming punches with your elbows.
@@metrolinamartialarts That’s exactly what my JKD friend said until we put it to the test. I approached it with an open mind. Had a similar experience with a smug Aikido practitioner. Now that was hilarious!

I use them to block and pary into
When you first use an elbow to keep his head in check, you also reveal your ribs. Is that intentional?
If your posted on his head he cant turn his hips to punch with any significant power. If you are pushing he will also be off balance. Him swinging with only his arm with all his weight on the back foot is not an issue.
@@hard2hurt Brilliant. Thank you!
Cliff does a wing Chung bonsai
except it works because he has physicality and boxing skills to back it up.
Lol how you know that?
I've done wing Chung and there was two other UA-camrs one was fight science (which I have visited and trained a bit with) and another but I forgot the name but sensei Seth made a video about wing Chung on him. In all honesty Mike you should learn wing Chung and think of it as more of a deflecting and aggressive attack style rather than a defence type style. It is a very misunderstood martial art in my opinion and could be the best one but nobody knows how to use it correctly other than the two I mentioned. The one sensei Seth made a video with you could contact him since he's in the same country unlike fight science he's in the UK. Looking forward to the next video hopefully it's on this (^^)
Off topic, but do you still carry the M1T Raider Plus for EDC?
Yes
Watch Ricky Hatton and Evander Holyfield for the use of elbows in boxing. They were quite good.
Hell Yeah
I'm not blocking with my head, but I'm not NOT bloking with me noggin.
02:30 😂
@hardtohurt imagine what that would do to a fist randomly flying at you
UA-cam doesnt want people being hard2hurt
Your kung fu is strong!
I'm a Kung Fu master.
@@hard2hurt Joking aside, Many styles of kung fu use these applications, I particularly like the way that you apply the high wing arm (a.k.a bung sau) at 4.14. This is classic Hung gar kuen kung fu. Thumping people, is still thumping people by any other name. You are indeed a master of kung fu.
Watch Marciano fighting. You will see him use his left elbow a lot!
Keep it 100º 😉
I always wonder what's allowed in boxing. Can I use my elbows? Can I trap? Can I push the other person?
The context in which you showed the so-called elbow strikes are pretty much on point but I've seen some ludicrous applications of this from JKD people who believe that you can stand outside punching range and block incoming punches with your elbows.
I mean you can
@@metrolinamartialarts That’s exactly what my JKD friend said until we put it to the test. I approached it with an open mind. Had a similar experience with a smug Aikido practitioner. Now that was hilarious!
@@pinkydavis6113 simple destructions like what Jared show are the extent of JKD destructions with elbows. Kali has a different approach.
Oh man I know a lot of little tricks 😉
