Hey Mr Chan, what kind of rules do you establish with a sparring partner who youre going to HARD/LIVE spar with? im a heavyweight and ive given and received concussions lasting days in the past.. i want to return to rotating a live spar in every so often to test things... i personally dont feel comfortable throwing my right hand 100% at a friend/sparring partner's head because ive really hurt people in the past. so im curious when you spar full speed are there certain strikes that u never truly send full speed IE head kicks or hooks perhaps? or do you let them know before hand like hey if either of us get wobbled, followup with ONLY body shots so as to not seriously hurt eachother? Thanks in advance
Not gonna lie, this is one of my better training videos and I seriously think these drills are great to incorporate in your training! You never know what's going to happen in a fight, whether you get injured or not, so practicing is key! Don't forget if you're looking to level up, get access to 33 full technique & conditioning classes with me as your instructor here: www.mmashredded.com/soloprogram
Great vid Jeff and I'm glad you got a sponsor. I do have some questions though. Do these drills teach bad habits/ take away habits? I mean you have drilled your left kick so much that you struggle not to throw your kick. Is this bad training because it forces you to unlearn some good habits? And about the shell up drill, you have mentioned before that you don't like shelling and taking shots to the head. Isn't this drill teaching some bad habits? Let me know if I'm wrong: these drills are not necessarily for developing fight habits. 🤔I mean it would seem counter-intuitive. I guess these drills help with developing something you suck at by forcing you to engage in doing that action. Other than that, I don't really see the point of these exercises. *If that is the case, would you also recommend doing this drill but the fighters don't know what their opponent's restrictions are? That makes them fight more realiscally and defensively sound (E.g. You are still aware and cautious against punches when your opponent can only kick). Thanks!
Love these drills, Jeff! I think a lot of self-defense gyms miss out on the sparring aspect of training and these are a perfect way for hesitant students to get started. 🙏
Old enough to be his Da so I can say this. What a sweet & professional kid. Complete Class Act. Hope his parents believe in what he's doing and are proud of him. If I had kids I'd love them to have a coach like this.
I ve trained french boxe (savate) and kickboxing for 25 years, all your vids are a great help though. Thanks to you i keep learning new tricks. My son have started to train for 2 years in a gym and each sunday i train him on the basis of one of your vids. Thanks from France
Man you gotta keep in mind that this was the guy that people keep telling that has an awkward fighting style. But right now for me, he has one of the most beautiful striking!! Gotta be one of my favorite striking styles second to my list of favorites with nasukawa tenshin on the first😁. My striking style now consists of both Jeff's and Tenshin's combined.
1. Lead hand only Beginners can work basic defence and build confidence Experienced guys can work head moment 2. Regular boxing drill Forces kickers to use hands instead of always kicking 3. Kicking only Great for rally’s 4. kick-boxing lead vs rear side one side can only throw right kick, other only the left kick 5. Regular kickboxing rules No knees yet 6. Boxing vs kicking Shows the kicker how great an option it is to counter punches with kicks. Boxer wants to pressure forward, throw combos 7. Counter vs offence. Sucks for offence Shows how effective it is for counterer. Remember we’re trying to help each other get better 8. Toe to toe. Fighting in the pocket. 9. Boxing and knees. 10. Clinch rounds Important to practice for well roundedness
Yooo nice video overall. The drills are great and help out a lot. They also seem fun to practice. The editing in the video is also very good. I think it’s that new desk helping you out 😂😂😂. Great video Jeff and keep up the good work!
My instructor did a near-identical rotation for, wait for it... KRAV MAGA sparring in a krav maga gym. The students' skill level was very diverse. Crazy how the best training can crop up in the most unexpected of places.
The last 2 exercises seems to be really tough! During this pandemic times i have only One friend to Spar with, a TALL, i mean , very TALL one! Great advices to improove my technical skills instead of going for the clinch and dirty boxing! Great video as allways, and Great sparring partner also!
Hi Jeff, I totally agree with you, this video is on the next level! Incredible helpful and high value drills to improve the skills without hurting yourself while sparring. oh how I miss to able to sparr with somebody in the gym. We are in full lockdown, all gyms are closed. As always thanks your video
Jeff! Huge respect for your skills and style, even more for how genuine of a guy you seem to be with all of your subscribers. I was wondering if you have any plans for a video covering your tactics or drills for parrying, catching and blocking punches. Your timing and defensive movement is awesome to watch.
Jeff, these are great. I do a few similar ones with brand new people learning to spar, but I picked up several great new ideas from you. Awesome material.
Awesome! Indeed, situational sparring and isolating certain skillsets is crucial to training and improving said skillsets. Too many people just want to spar where anything goes within their particular ruleset, but people don't really improve much this way. If you want something to come out, you have to specifically focus on, drill and condition it. This is like your other video "Going Into Sparring With A GOAL ". :)
I never do any drills like this where I train because I don't think people fancy it; but they're all legitimately great drills and something I'd like to incorporate.
Jeff bringing us the quality content as always. Im gonna use these drills for the next few weeks in our dojo. Also, maybe something helpful. During Drill 4 when you are workin your right side and the left kept wanting to kick, maybe cut the leg off at the thigh to prevent an unwanted kick. LOL obv Im joking you would need a Dr there to attach your leg back on after each Drill..... Maybe not all advice is good advice :) Hope all is well with you and your new family.
Dear Jeff, I love your channel. There is another channel called Siam boxing that has been gaining traction. Would you ever do a collaboration sparring video with them?
Just finished doing these with my friend. I didn't realize a few of these required switching roles and therefore required 2 rounds (lead vs rear, offense vs counter, punching vs kicking). We thought we were in for 10 rounds and ended up doing thirteen and feeling BEAT by the end. Good stuff though! Learned a few things that I suppose I don't normally get access to because I avoid the specific situations I had to be in.
You've probably had this question before but, where did you get your footgear? I have a set that velcros around the back of my calf and under the arch of my foot, but that sleeve looks a lot more stable than straps. Very curious to know where you got them cuz I want a pair now too. Love the content, keep it up Jeff!
Great 👍 content Jeff, sure it looks very helpful , I will definitely try it out. 😅 just to be curious have you ever sparing Match with your finance? ,❤❤
Hey Chan great video I was wondering how long have you been doing Muay Thai I’m 15 and I want to reach your level buts it’s hard because my sister recently got Covid and she’s 9 so I have to stay inside but I still can push myself to train and help my mom
