howtofightnow.com I have a HUGE pile off MMA technique videos which can be found free at How To Fight Now .com - The Fight Smart Training Program.
Lot's of people want to learn how to fight, but they have no idea where to look. You can find a lot of street fighting videos on RU-vid, and a lot of videos titled "how to win a street fight", but most of them are crap. I personally don't want to learn from some dude punching a couch cushion in his back-yard, with his twitchy girlfriend holding his IPhone camera... but that's just me.
I created the fight smart training program to teach people how to fight with REAL TECHNIQUES that work... I gathered them in my career as a professional fighter. If these techniques work in the cage, they will certainly work in a street fight. A lot of times, I had these moves used against me... and it hurt.
I don't care what your purposes are: self-defense, a personal quest, or just to be a more powerful bully... it doesn't matter. My job is to provide you with the realest fighting moves out there, and to teach you how to fight and win every time. Be sure to check out my website... I have far more video on howtofightnow.com than I have in my RU-vid channel.... and they're free.... because I'm cool like that.
Check out the website and good luck learning how to punch, how to kick, how to do Jiu Jitsu, how to do Muay Thai kickboxing, and how to do any of the other Keywords that I'm trying to target by writing this channel description.

Good grief. A lot of people making "size doesn't matter" and "the bigger they are the harder they fall" comments. If size doesn't matter, why do we have different weight classes in wrestling, boxing, etc? Size matters.

@igolfjtweetler4097 8 лет назад

If you've got height over 6', speed and power the short ass muscle man is getting knocked out unless you let him get inside you and grapple you down. Just hit him hard with the one two. The elbow is also good at closer range because a guy at 6'4" swinging an elbow at a 5'7 dude is landing it straight on the boy's chin.

In ITF TKD competitions I have a much shorter opponent than I (we don't have too much competitors) and last time I managed to keep most of the time some distance, but he's really good at just running against humans and grappling them down. I've won him just 1/4 times and the one time I felt like I was losing...

Leg kicks are always an advantage for taller guys. Also, push kicks to keep range and keeping your opponent from getting close to you.

@leovuitton9117 5 лет назад

A lot of people don't use push kicks right tho

@andrewkelly6444 4 года назад

I'm 6'5", best advice I can give to shorter guys if if you are going against someone taller, make sure to stay within his arms reach, never let us be able to use the reach advantage against you. Also remember that not every tall guy knows how to fight, some of em have been able to use their height as a deterrent. And lastly, get rid of the your shorter guy complex if you have one, for the most part being very tall actually sucks on a daily basis.

@trendkill3333 4 года назад

It’s funny how so many short dude think they need to fight someone just because they’re bigger than them. Like I’ve had short dudes try and fight me in clubs for no reason, never even look at them and they just want to fight. I just keep them at distance and let the bouncers deal with them, they’re not worth the time or effort.

I got the occasional beating myself as well but mostly by getting suckerpunched and then kicked on by 10guys. I think it´s the soulpatch that makes guys want to beat the crap out of me.

@Dreamonology Месяц назад

midgets? lol u beat up kids or something? being slightly taller over average height men is not that big of an advantage, 5'10 to 6'3 is not really considered "tall" it's about the height of most men, being a few inches above that is not a huge advantage, do you people go beat on 5'3 people?

6ft 9 200 ? Fam you gotta eat more

@mstzmikebsteviec1119 3 года назад

@@finnmcswiggan1611 it's improper to force a weight size or physique that is not natural for your body when it comes to being in shape if you have too much mass on a small frame you will gas out really quick if you're like me and you can run a mile without losing breath and still have enough strength to pick up weigh more than your own weight I think that's a good Fair body type I'm definitely not built to be sick if I was to way more I would be very slow and lose a lot of speed I've noticed there are some pretty good Heavy Hitters that only weigh 160 and it's enough to knock you out if you get caught so anything above 160 in my opinion is not to eat underestimated and with weight and size and frame build speed agility and endurance is where you get your performance we're all built for something different and we all have advantages and disadvantages muscle is really good unless you get hit first and you're sleeping because you're too slow also in opposition if you get caught by someone who has much more strength then you might get men handed just being real is several ways to look at this frame size also works with your leverage which and wrestling goes great if you know what rubber band Guard is you can apply that with wrestling and it goes pretty far on the ground

Your really good at explaining techniques and reasons why the techniques work and you have patience you're a very good teacher very good boxing technique I've been watching your videos for a while and I can tell the difference between how authentic you are compared to other guys that are just trying to sell a workout I don't know why I feel like saying that but I think you deserve your flowers just like anything technique is always the key the fundamentals the basics you master them then you put your own sauce on it but if you're fundamentally sound and you're not thinking you're able to react because you put the repetition in just like anything else if you play baseball in your first baseman you got to get a certain amount of reps in when you're at bat and you don't know if a changeup's coming or fastball so your stance and keeping your eye on the ball and the technique of swinging at that being in that stance turn your hips over falling through it's not exactly the same but there's a lot of similarities maybe I'm just crazy but it's like playing baseball and dancing at the same time

Technical video recommendation (and problem)- when you have a computer that the sound doesn't go up well(no matter what you do to try to increase the volume) doesn't become loud enough to hear, we cannot hear what you say when you have your videos in that empty space that ''ECHOS" (the one that you have your punching bag hanging) because everything you say echos and your sound becomes distorted-please refrain from having your videos from this room and change where your punching bag hangs, so that it's hanging in a room that doesn't echo so that we can hear you much clearly. Thanks for your video-it's informative. P.S.-brainstorm idea- would you fight Shane Fazen(he's online with his FIGHTTIPS youtube videos)? This would be "CHALLENGE OF THE RU-vid FIGHT INSTRUCTORS". This would be on the hot scale. Just a thought.
