Forced to change my style while sparring Karate Combat Fighter 

Just came back from two private lessons with Jeff Chan aka MMAShredded in-person! His private lessons are also exactly the way they seem in his videos, and he is a great teacher, very detail-oriented and patient. While also getting some serious workouts in, it was very educational to get practical feedback on my technical flaws and what I can drill to improve. If you can get to the Brooklyn area and want to learn MMA, train with him! He genuinely wants to help people improve, and will treat you like a friend! Thanks again to Jeff Chan for having me again! As both a professional MMA fighter and BJJ black belt, he teaches his own go-to moves which are effective because they are backed by personal experience and are pressure/stress tested, rather than just pedaling classic or traditional rhetoric. That's more than can be said for most martial arts instructors.

Jeff basically had to spar Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls here.

This one is worth two watches, because you can see Jeff work out the problem and make small adjustments in real time.

Icy mike appeared like an Instagram model 😂

Brandon was very humble and careful. Very nice .👍

Those karate combat guys are always so explosive and dynamic. It reminds me of some of the Oly TKD competitors I used to spar with, but with better hands. Someone who is that active and movement oriented is going to be hard to shut down. Also, the big guy has a very unique long guard. This was a fun vid to watch!

I love those coaches "You're not tired" Let's go!" It's simple but it does push you.

I love how your style change became more and more traditional Muay Thai.

I am always really impressed by Jeff's sparing abilities. It doesn't matter what style his opponents use; he knows how to defend himself and look for opportunities and vulnerabilities.

Be Adaptable. Be Versatile. Be Adjustable. Be Water My Friend🌊

Big boy's kicks were phenomenal! Nice to see a big man move like that!

I'm not skilled enough to throw spin kicks with that speed without losing control. I'd probavly end up hurting myself and my sparring partners. That's some impressive dexterity on Gabriel's part.

5:53 We gotta appreciate how elite this camera work is!

Those sanda spin kicks, side kicks and scissor kicks are fire 🔥🔥🔥he was really very bouncy especially that sanda background gabriel

Most people don't understand how serious Karate combat is. Knock down karate one of the best forms of fighting.

Great video as always, Jeff! Love how much respect you show these two beasts!

Love your videos, jeff! Such a joy to see these high level yet very controlled sparrings. Keep up the great work, brother! We learn a lot from you and enjoy your content!

Your discipline through the years is inspirational. Thanks for sharing this and your hard work. Awesome channel.

Man seeing all the cool combos and little tactics and counters and recounters made me want to start training again. Big guy was extremely creative and had a super sick clinch game. Inspirational vid. Mike got me with the thumbnail bait lol

What a great show you put on Jeff! Thanks very much for sharing!

great video...really nice narration with the technical movements.

Man, the footwork guide is also a great workout! thanks man!

Great upload! Was great to see the other guys utilising a lot of karate kicks which is something I've been trying to add in my Muay Thai and MMA. Definitely game changing!

Amazing and inspiring sparring! Thanks master Jeff!

Well done Jeff that boy was fkn quick!

Dear me! That was such high level sparring. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. Nice to see icy Mike as well.👍

Love these Saturday sparring vids, gets me hyped for my Sat afternoon sparring session

Jeffs control is sublime, great instructor.

Great sparring, learned a lot , surely using these techniques in my next sparring session thanks jeff❤

I was worried about those spinning heel kicks and even that rolling thunder gabriel threw, looks like of full speed. If one of those lands.....OMG 😅 But burst into laughter after saw jeff's signature sure-kill move at 0:17

Such a good sparring sesion! Loved that Gabriel kicks, that was a cool and useful way to use taekwondo in sparring. Jeff adapting as usual, that's what I call footwork, man!

dang, intense but so controlled from both of you, crazy spinning technique from Gabriel, nice strategy from Jeff, this is what top tier sparring looks like !!!

WOOOO!!! YEEEAH!!! Love the versatility my bro 🔥🥋

Change is good for us, haha! I love this one. I am obsessed with karate combat. Super impressed with your versatility Jeff, and your ability to quickly adapt. The whack-a-mole approach in the recent short with the headband guy was great but this one is really intelligent and cerebral, I love it. Next step, take it to the combat pit! haha.

Holy Crap the Sparring amazing and intesting

The video was great as always, and Icey Mike was just cheery on top 😂❤

Awesome love the sparring session against different style fighters.

Insane Footage Thanks for Posting 🔥

Such an awesome video post. The commentary over this interaction hits 💪😃🤜🤛💀👍

You are an amazing teacher Thank you 🙏🏻

Just saw this great video Jeff. Smokin' as always thanks for sharing.:)

I really enjoyed it, good flow throughout!

Great session! Learned so much!

Your rounds with Gabriel are so smooth and fast, they look like well choreographed fights in kungfu movies. Just awesome to watch.

Jeff Chan you are da man! You handled yourself like a true champ..

The combination from both of them at 4:50 was honestly just amazing to watch!

Great video jeff! Karate combat dude is vicious !!! Great rounds

Super interesting and informative video here, Jeff!

Love it simply wowww Gabe was no joke what a technical fast kicker Same for the big guy very controled very dangerous pressure fighter ! Love your videos jeff and yes without the camera man in it , it will be bs excuse my language Thks for all the tips jeff its awesome to see you switch style during sparring session thats impressive

This was so much fun Jeff. We hope to have you back again this year and we can get more rounds in 🎉

Mans throwing hard! Well done on keeping active and working a high pressure opponent.

As always, fantastic sparring breakdown video from @MMAShredded! Would love to see you discuss your sparring gear/preferences for equipment.

I know that u may not see this, but I really have to thank for the MOUNTAIN of knowledge you share on thus platform for everyone to see for completely FREE whereas some courses won't even give you half of this for lots of money, anyways I really wanna thank you as your tactics playlist and tutorials have really helped me grow as a fighter and become better, my dream is to fight in the UFC and thanks to you its all the more easier thanks❤

Subscribed I’m in my 40’s I’ve been practicing Thaiboxing on and off for almost 30 years videos like this encourage me to keep practicing

Great adjustments man. Good shit

Lol, the "salsa walk" at 6:30 was hilarious but also well used lol

Great sparring video, especially with contrasting styles and the change of game plan.

Very informative Jeff, thank you.

Bro his kicks were crazy 🔥

It was awesome having you, Jeff!

Enjoyable to watch , dig the commentary .

Great technical sparring, Nice vid!

*Great video, Jeff! You're awesome man and I love these sparring matches. I wish I could do more sparring at my local gym too. We only do it like once a month or so due to the lack of space.*

Excellent work,,,thanks for sharing

Beautiful! Love the respect!

Great adjustment. Hard to spinny when they are on the back foot. Gabriel def held back his power, but let his speed go some. Good learning experience for both of you. Hopefully he game plans differently against pressure before his fight bc his skill & athleticism are exceptional. Preciate this content.

Watching Brandon pull off the cross arm guard is pretty cool to see. You don’t see it much anymore, and theres probably not a lot of coaches who can properly train it except for someone like Tim Witherspoon.

That Karate guy is one nasty dude👀. Great work Jeff. God bless

that zesty walk forwards was funny as hell and it worked as a feint too lol

Great channel and sparring brother champ, me and my teammates spar like this mostly every week! I’m just now getting back to it due to being out from an injury from 6 months. your truly and inspiration brother champ! wish I posted my last sparring footage, but teammate had a fight coming up and couldn’t post it. OSS 🏆💯🔥🥊💪🏽

Let's go Jeff 💪 That's how you break your limits 👊

I can’t do combat sports for shit. I fw the content heavy and it’s dope seeing you collab with buddy from 2hard!

Damn, didn't expect the Mike-cameo 😂, btw I was actually surprised by the cameraman being so good caching all the focal points of the sparring that I was pretty sure he must of been a good and experienced fighter, it all made sense when hard2hurt came out being the one filming 💯💯

So LOVE the “switch March” or whatever you call it. Usually I just fake one or two knees or teeps and walk forward (I’m tall and long and known for wanting to clinch knee) even people way more skilled and experienced stop dead if I do that lol. Saves my life sometimes 😅

thank God you’re a defense is so freaking great because I don’t know how you got out the way with some of those kicks you, tha man brother

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥as always good content

Wow! Great sparring!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hahaha cool video wasn’t expecting icy mike in it too!

El pana Gabriel tiene tremendo repertorio y el ese gigante es un noble gentil. Saludos desde Venezuela

Whew! Tough stuff. Like the judo mixed in.

Muay Thai + pressure Jeff!! We love to see it, gooooood sh*t dude 😄

Key 🔑 factor u can turn it up on fighters with fights coming up just do ur absolute best to be controlled this is an example here so good

Those two were absolute beasts, holy 💩!

The dragontail sweep is always there

Gabe is great fighter. Last combat camp he was at Fusion Xcel in Orlando. His spinning back kick are Crazy and powerful

You always have the coolest gloves, would ever do a glove review or glove tier list of boxing gloves you own? (Been a fan/sub since the green twins gloves days)

Jeff, love your style, I'm a old man, MMA practitioner ( Amateur )and I alway tried your stuff when sparing.

side kick, axe kick and spinning hook kicks are all so underrated kicks that not many use. Good tools if you train them enough and know how to use them in live sparring. Super cool to see it in use

love this kind of spar

That duck walk is hilarious

Amazing karate style! Great sparring.

Jeff, there's a post-apocalyptic martial arts thriller series called Ronin of the Dead. The lead character's name is Kenshiro, and in my mind; he's you. Thanks for making the fight scenes in this book all the more amazing. Keep up the hard work my dude; keep that sparring playful!!

I like the big guy had super good control very good rounds guys!❤

Jeff coming forward hard and messy in the last round was beautiful to shut down the karate

Love this!!!!

Excellent vid jeff btw I tried this little shuffle at 6:27 in sparring yesterday i was able to trick tons of people and land various combinations lol👊🔥😂

jeff always being way too nice lol

Brandon is REALLY GOOD, gosh that control

You are the MAN, Jeff!

Man I really wish one day I am able to have the mobility of Brandon. I, about his size, and my mobility is crap. Working on it, but that was refreshing to see.
