I like the idea of creating a line that you can't pass for intro to sparring so if someone is getting more than they can handle, they can just take themselves out of it to gather their thoughts before going back in. Good idea.
@@taylorfusher2997 you just asked and answered your own question in the same post. This is wild
@@taylorfusher2997 Practice + experience.
Just hours and hours of drilling, sparring and actually fighting in competition. You'll get better at knowing your range, setting up your strikes and recognize patterns. To the point you don't even think about it, it just happens.
But you have to put the hours in.
This was part of how my old dojo did it.
We’d progress in order through:
- formalized drills where the attacker will use a specified technique and the defender will use a specified technique at a known timing
- same drill, but now attacker picks their own time
- same drill but now attacker picks their own time and defender picks their own defense/counter
- same drill but now attacker can add on an additional strike (then additional 2 strikes, then additional 4 strikes)
- then limitations were lifted on types of strikes, numbers of strikes but the line between was drawn and neither side could pass.
- then the line was removed and light contact sparring was allowable with head gear
- then once you hit shodan you were allowed to do grappling, heavy contact, and no headgear (often no gloves)
It worked really well for getting complete novices comfortable with sparring over time and kept people from being pushed too far out of their element, but admittedly it’s an extremely slow way to become an effective fighter. You’ll probably get faster results if you get thrown into the deep end and grit your teeth, but you’d lose a lot more people that way. It’s a nuanced trade off for gym owners and instructors.
I'm more impressed with the glove kick up at the end than almost anything. So smooth, so Ice cold
You know this is the comment he came looking for
Saw Nat's head movement, hands, and footwork and I was like "okaaay!" You can tell she's been putting in work. Keep it up. Hope to see more of her journey and progression
That look Natalia gives after that hard swing...brilliant.
It really comes across that you were a professional training officer. You do a really great job of training the right aspect at the right time -- concept, technique, integration with other techniques, integration with tactical judgment, and (finally) performance under stress. I'm always so impressed by the precision of you instruction, even though its hidden in humor.
I have a couple of very similar drills. Its not unlike a striking version of chi sau in Wing Chun -- you're building sensitivity to reciprocal range and bearing.
Do you do the classic close range sparring where both trainers have to keep one foot inside a tire?
Great stuff as usual.
Icy Mike dropping in the Kobayashi Maru knowledge and letting his students know that in an isolated drill learning a skill not everyone is going to be equal is legit gold.
I love how Sergio's leg muscles joke is still running.
Love the Wrath of Khan reference, And the idea that there's a lot to learn from an unwindable situation.
Your gym is fantastic. I've been to every boxing gym in my area looking for something half as good as this.
Try a muay thai or mma gym. Most boxing gyms just let their good fighters give new guys brain damage. Its like survival of the fittest
@@homelessman3483 can't get brain damage twice.
Love this!! This is similar to something I learned at the olympic training center in 09 …🤔 brainstorming an idea 🤞🏾
absolute gold for beginners
“…the amateur shuffle.. galloping around like a little pony.” - shots fired! I didn’t think I would be attacked sitting in my garage watching some UA-cam 😂
Really appreciate how you broke it down coach. i've always heard that "in the pocket" phrase during ppv fights and now because of your video i know what it means. i will try this drill because i am guilty of being afraid & lazy lol
I think it's becoming clear now that Natalia is being prepped to take over the channel. ;-)
Yup lol
I like how you don't like HEMA but this video is perfect for HEMA footwork :)
True lol
My brother and I did this drills and our moves became way more cleaner holy shii. Mastering the center line is key!
Phenomenal content, possibly the best I've seen from you. Extremely eye opening. Truly, thank you for this content
Natalia - Your work is paying off! Your form and instinctive movements are solid, and it's great seeing you grow! Can't wait until your next fight!
Dudes a beast he just will not let himself lose technique or not
Thats not what im saying have you seen him fight?
@@mattjocks5139 He just comments that on everything. Maybe a bot …
Like a boss. Nurgle Bless Our Constitution In The Kindest Of Ways, and be Hard2Hurt!
Excellent drill and instruction!
Thanks for keeping it real brother
Love your channel
This is a great drill. Learning to relax and not make huge movements everytime someone throws a punch is absolutely key to successful boxing
Thank you for this and all of your content so nice to see someone adress things like stance and foot work in the way you do it has helped so much!
You are a great instructor. And you have great students.
Ohhh the pony shuffle...man I feel called out...haha! Great video Mike, thank you :) I love this idea--I definitely want to show this to my coach. I also like that you show us how to do it by ourselves, that's super helpful. And excited to see Natalia again!
I still laugh every time you use the "Leg Muscle" clip it's so good
Thanks for the timely reminder and lesson idea. Definitely implementing it into our training. 👌
These are all great points. Also, would love to see a video of you discussing grip fighting and how lapel/collar grips change the dynamic of clinching.
Love how you interact with your students. If I had teachers like you I bet I'd still be doing martial arts at a gym.
Great drill series, if drill is even the right word for it. It reminds me of some footwork and defense isolation drills Ive done but I like the ring in the middle and the progression you use. I also really like Natalia as your demo partner, she is clearly a talented fighter and good training partner. Slick stuff, thanks for sharing.
This is an excellent drill, and a great example of how to isolate, elevate and integrate. Love it.
You’re a good teacher, Mike.
Excellent stuff. Kind of reminds me of the scene in Rocky where they put some kind of band around his legs to get his footwork down.
Exactly the video I needed to see. Thanks.
In my line of work this style of instruction would be considered scaffolding. Nicely done!
Those Kung Fu Rings you can also use to build your Wing Chun, you just keep equal pressure between hands. It helps with trapping, builds dexterity, and focus on small movements.
This dude is so great that even kids could understand
Nice, thanks for the video. It's a very useful idea.
This is GENIUS
This in a really good exercise for footwork!
Great tips Mike! I use traffic cones for the same kind of drills.
I love this, cool stuff!
Good video. Thanks
Good one, Mike. Control the distance, win the game.
Also, just curious as an old coach myself, did you come up with this recently as an answer to the onslaught of Tyson Peek-a-boo footwork wannabes that came outta the woodwork in the last year or so? lol
I'm going to try that next time in shadow boxing, I didn't think about it until watching but yeah I do those giant steps all the time
I’m definitely using this drill next week
Thanks for another video.
Great drill it is very obvious how effective it is...can never go wrong with the fundamentals, But they are usually to boring to grasp the attention of the common practitioners this definitely makes it more fun and exciting.🙂
Ahahah the glory kickboxing impression was hilarious .
I like this drill--never seen it done before---
This is exactly the video I needed right now, thanks! I waste too much energy bouncing around trying not to get hit during sparring.
Best video ever... Really mike im dead serious. This is like the small things u realise
When Sergio comin back on the channel? We need more leg muscles.
It’s smart to try and take the stress away when I started mma every sparring session for the first year I was me being way to scared even thow no one ever beat me up.
I fucking love this channel
In my old gym they had loads of taped markings on the floor that us No0bs had to match our feet up with when we drilled.
Rings, lines, lines that crossed... ...all kept our feet in good order, and yeh I was always surprised by the very short distances coach wanted us to travel.
We do a couple drills at my gym.
The first and most common is similar to the circle.
We use an octagon shape. 1 foot in.
Only circle each other. Or 1 person's foot in, and the other circles.
The other, and my favorite, is we sit on the ground cross-legged, knees touching, and work on hooks and uppercuts.
Actually we haven't done any of that in a bit. I need more of that shit
The title of this video is perfect
Word of the day is " meander " 😁
Crap, you’re so right, I’m a smaller guy with short legs, I over move, great tip Icy Mike !
Hey Mike. Can you make a southpaw footwork, counttechniques, etc, explaining how to use good footwork as a southpaw. So like a southpaw starter pack
I enjoyed watching this and appreciate your honesty and analysis. I do a modified form of Wing Chun and BaGua that places a lot of emphasis on physical conditioning, footwork and positioning change angles for strikes and to avoid as much as possible being put on the ground. How much do you think that foot work and repositioning plays into the outcome of a fight? Enjoy your channel 😃
Nat is gonna be a killer!
Hello Coach Mike. I dont know if you already did this, burt could you do a video on multiple attackers? What is your take? Can multiple attackers be defeated? Should you just run away? Is the answer somewhere in between, or none of the above? You have real experience in both the "street" and the ring, you test things out and you always give interesting, new perspectives on self defense. I would love to see your take on this.
Could you make a Video talking about what makes a good drill for you.
2:35 my favorite part where he says "...whith this circle."
''inches matter''
-Icy mike to wife
😂
I grew up watching & copying Ali. I run everyday, rarely even touched when sparring guys half my age. All cardio & footwork
Quality
This is very helpful. I think the only exception is having the option to do big movements to evade weapons. You see this in Kung Fu. Long northern styles for weapons and southern short styles for unarmed. Great lessons here! Thank you.
The process of learning requires a feeling of safety.
That glove kick up mid monologue has the same energy as cool guys don't look at explosions
Remember the video game 'magic pockets'? A minor classic :)
I like that fact he calls it a dance. She can dance 💪🏾‼️
did you do a competition in Myrtle Beach in 2017? i had my first amy fight there and think we competed against each other. just wanted to be sure if i had the opportunity to fight against the icymike. much love!
So when are we getting the video about "Real Ninjas". I'm really curious who you were referring to on the Martial Arts Journey "Best Martial Arts for Self Defense Ranked" video.
At 1:39 wonderboy literally used it in several fights and it worked
This might sound like a silly thing but can you explain how to dodge punches like for example, is it a reaction or a prediction?
Is this kind of drill useful for kicks as well as punches? I imagine it must be similar, just with a bigger circle.
Natalya's expression at 9:45 😳😂
It’s a good thing being successful in the pocket isn’t predicated on being tough and stupid.
Cause I’m only one of those things.
You should make a video on the so called "Monkey Dance" before the street fight..
Alex the meanderthal
Would this technically be consider inch work?
What size is the rings, and where can they be bought from
Buy something close to that
I came for the LEG MUHSLE!
Awesome drill. Stealing this from you Mr. Mike.
Was that a star trek reference in there?
*LEG MOUSCLES*
Short steps are fast steps
I said "scared and lazy" at the same time she did 😆
so it's no good if you're F2P & lvl 41?
So since old school boxing was bare knuckled and resulted in that sort of weird stance do you think it’s actually more relevant for defensive striking in the real world then “modern” boxing since no one in the street is going to have gloves ?
Alex's face was red. I can tell. I feel his embarrassment. Like yeah, you're giving him a compliment, and he needs to hear it, but alex is just trying to hide his ear to ear smile and stay humble. I'm i projecting? I feel like I'm projecting
I thought I didn't meander for a while as a younger man and then I saw the footage of my first fight and went ".....why are we just wandering around for half of this?"
We call these classes Waltzing days
Can confirm, began meandering after being gassed this morning during sparring.
Didn’t feel like a meander at the time though.
Do you know where Blackie Chan has gone? No sign of him in social media
Can you make a video on “everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face”.?
I dunno, galloping like pony feels majestic 🎠
I'm 31 years old. Am I too old to get into MMA? Nothing competitive but just for self-defense and fitness?
