How to Get Creative with Your Fighting Style 

I met Bubba when he came to my high school to do a seminar for wrestling about 9 years ago, he taught me how to snap someone’s neck down similar to the way Tony Ferguson does and how it opens you to get a firemen’s carry or take them for a gator roll. It’s crazy seeing him again I never forgot what he was teaching us that day

I'm a heavy tricker and that's literally the idea of what I do,taking your fundamental tricks and adding to it with whatever you feel like or wanna add,also sometimes it's really helpful because let's say you're in a fight and you throw something out that they haven't seen before there's a 50/50 chance it could work lol

bro is the most respectful african athlete i've ever seen

Dammn :) that cartwheel is awesome :)

Creativity imo is just being like Tony Ferguson. You just gotta be yourself, regardless of what or how other see you. If you have the extreme confident and feel that free under your skin. You are gonna move in whatever way that suit you, move whatever way your body and mind take you. You will be naturally trying all those move in practice yourself. Trying so hard to make yourself a creative fighter never works. If you ain't meant to be like that, you will just open up yourself to vulnerability that lead you no where and you will be stuck in the middle. Everyone is meant to have different fighting style. If your body and mind never lead you to explore new things yourself, then don't force it. It's perfectly fine staying tight guarded and technical, 'cause that is who you are.

SHOUT OUT TO BUBBA CHUCK(Iverson) FROM BAD NEWZ!!!!

Tony Ferguson somersault takedown. That is all.

SHANE can you please do a video on how to defend against someone trying to pick you up (off the ground)?? This has happened to me several times in hookup situations and I can’t escape easily. Please help.

Wanna easy break someone wrestling style?=powerbomb-> wheel barrom ->Boston Crab

Wrestling is already creative without even fighting

How does Khabib act creatively?

Do you know of any teen mma organizations for mma in the U.S.?

there's a guy 45 pounds above me that's trying to box me. would u take it?

Ooofff

Lol he likes to talk alot

Shane "I would shoot a high crotch Also Shane *shoots a single leg* Oh you kickboxer you😂

Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless - Bruce lee

No shoes on the mat!!

To me Zabit is a perfect example of fundamentals and creativity.

I think creativity is the last thing a fighter should master. Master everything else then get creative with your moves once you’ve reached your beast.

Take a shot every time Bubba says Fundamentals and drink a beer every time he says craft

I think the easiest way to be creative is to watch movies and replicate it. This is how Anderson Silva knocked out The dude with his elbow.

A great way to be creative know when to make the "wrong move" at the right time.

Here’s how to get creative in a fight: Pretend your opponent is a fence and do some parkour shit up and under him/her until he/she gets nauseous and collapses

I'm literally like always telling my friends to think outside the box to make the basics better thank you Shane

He's talking about being unothodox to be unpredictable to experienced fighters. Most of the people in the comment section have no clue what that means.

7:58 did you hear Shane's neck crack lol. Awesome video as always

Holy shit. When I saw this man's legs fly to the ceiling my jaw dropped... Just subbed to all the socials in the comments. I wanna get like that.

I enjoy the content including the MMA related stuff, but I'd like to see more videos based on street fighting context, like in the old days, instead of always being preperation for facing a trained fighter in a sports combat setting.

5:25 holy shit what a badass move

I watched buba fighting for the brave combat federation championship he was awesome he's tough as nails.

I bet you weren't expecting a DEFENSIVE CARTWHEEL

You should critique fighting in movies, or different fighting styles in movies such as Yuri Boyka's fighting style. Something like that.

5:30 beautiful

I am so gonna do that cartwheel and watch everyone’s 😧😧😧😧 jaws drop😂

Guys help me. I really want to learn the cartwheel but I dont know I have some kind of block in my head to stretch my legs and get the proper whip. Any advices what should I start with?

Five tips for the underdog nice creativity in the wrestling and somersault in the moment. My creativity When I did wrestling I didn’t collegiate and freestyle. Done a lot of Martial arts Since then I’ve Street fighting as well. Button freestyle wrestling when I was on on all four. Instead of working around him I would do the superman. It’s where your chest is just Past Mid Of his back he’s on all fours squatting down I then lift my legs really quick tap and spin around on his back and then I’m behind him and one Quick moment. In squalid position one hand on waste the other hand on his arm is he still on all four then you can move in there. It’s known as the superman is that even make everyone knows it.

hi shane sir i need your help . i am from bangladesh and i always watch your videos and follow up the rules but i need your help i am going to ashian championship in this december so everyday i practice hard about 5 to 6 hour but yesterday i have some crash on my knuckle ,,, when i do practice on punching bag i always wear wrappers and mma glove but after that my knuckle crash and yesterday it was bleeding i notice that my punch bag not spinning my punches was perfect but my knuckle crash so what can i do for hard knuckle or hard skin ... plz help sir . i always follow your instruction as an ametuere fighter ... plz help ...

philosophies and vulnerabilities....and the craft that is wrestling. :)

when I was shoulder to shoulder with someone i found myself exposing ny mid section to get them in almost like a standing guillotine type clinch with my arm over the back if their neck, Then twist myself and them down off balance and use that as my opening to strike. It was kinda dumb but i felt like the coolest guy ever after.

Is it normal for a right handed person to fight in a southpaw stance? I only ask because I’m right handed, and I feel the most comfortable in a southpaw stance. I throw my left hand about the same amount as my right, and I think my left cross is actually stronger than my right cross when I got into a orthodox stance.

Please get Marvin Tyrone Cook the boxing coach from CSW... he is awesome

Lol dope

I could be wrong but i dont think you can teach creativity......thoughts?

Mayweather isnt doing the philly shell ots a shoulder roll and here in philly it isnt taught as a fundemental ..does danny garcia use the philly shell no.

Seems like there could have been more said instead if one example of a cartwheel escape in nine minutes

Shane you should spar with bubba, classic striker vs wrestler!

I need to try that cartwheel bruh. Everyone in my gym will explode.

How do you defend yourself when you have no fight experience and dont plan on getting any but need some thing just in case? I mean instead of carrying a weapon?

Shane can you do a video on anti bullying it's been a while

a cartwheel seems like way to much risk and effort just to defend a takedown when there are so many other ways

What is your opinion on the effectiveness of Chinese martial arts?

Great video

i aint tryna talk shit but why wear shoes if you gonna lace em that loose lol

Congratulations Coach Jenkins, on your belt!

Anyone know any good boxing trainers in Delaware, trying to get fit and know how to fight.

That's awesome. Just need to learn how to do a cartwheel...

Nice vid that was a dope move to get away from the takedown

Dope!

Could you do a vid on to train or not to trian with boxing and shors

First

A lot of words for a little knowledge, good teq tho..

What did I just see at 5:30????????? Beyond badass.

that shit was so slick

Dammit Bubba

Nice move looks like capoeira

Shane, what kind of shorts do you wear?

bro i literally forgot who you were until i saw the thumbnail of the video where you pinned David taylor.

Congrats Bubba on your strap.

Best videos

🔥 a serious injury 1:33 💯🔥 👇 👇 👇 👇💟

I like the enthusiasm of this video

What do you think about combat hapkido???

Lol 😀😆😂🤣 That's cool

This was great. Bubba’s good

I'm right handed but left footed

Agh he got me 4:47 (Watch the hands)

Well, every striker need this mindsets

Loved the Iverson comparison

I would just slam my opponent on the ground as hard as I can while he is up mid air. Less strength needed because they will be weightless.

If Shane pins this I will poop my pants

Congrats Bubba :)!!!

Damn, he's a good teacher

Oh you’re a wrestler now?

"On Bobba Jenkins I probably wouldn't shoot" Yeh tell me about it. Shot in on someone that's done like 3 years of wrestling (I've only been to 3 wrestling classes so far)

Love from INDIA,...A country who introduced first ever martial arts to the world

Make a fight video

I want to have an iron face

Can you dona video of WHEN to do the boxer's bounce step/pendulum step in a boxing match? thanks😊

can you fight him mr

CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT

Shane, last night in a clinch sparing fight i was being thrown around by a guy who's a little taller and bigger than me. Do you have some tips for " how to avoid someone throwing you around " and can you make a video on it. I feel so frustrated even after training for over a 8 months I couldn't do much when he was throwing me but I managed to land some good knees when i was in the clinch. Do help if you don't mind . :)

i had an idea for how to make capoeira usefull: mainly to use it to stay dangerous while being in a compromised position (i.e. on the ground or while getting up). does that count?

Any tips for a larger guy with bad joints im not outa shape just did lots of bridge jumping and car surfing as a teen now i have to basicaly stick to stricking and ground work but i want to do more creative and dinamic movements

This is the video that is

I am new subscriber

DHMIS anyone?

You should show clips of those movements on real fights with real pressure and real scenarios for more transparency. I´ve never seen those moves on real fights. Would love to see them before I try to learn them. Choreography doesn´t always resemble real life scenarios. I love your channel, I´ve learn a lot thanks to you, but this time I feel doubtful. I´d be glad and grateful for an answer.

Hi Shane

Hey there Shane, I've been watching your channel a lot. Very cool experience you've got, and thanks for posting all those fights for us. It's much more instuctional to watch amateur fighters than pros, cause the mistakes and sucesses are more relatable to my reality. I think that it could be beneficial for you to rework that style. For now, it's looking very unpolished, like Ross Pearson. "just go, throw combos and expect them to open up". If you look at sucessful agressive fighters, they are either: 1. Volume punchers such as Max holloway (MMA), Lomachenko (boxing). They are much smaller than you for their weight class (you were definitelly bigger than all of your opponents and therefore slower unless you explode). They are also very creative in their attacks, which is not the case with you (not trying to shit on you, we are still amateurs so this is normal). 2. In-your-face one shot KO guys such as Mcgregor, GGG. They don't attack like crazy, but always stay at a short distance and somewhat stationary. They pick their shots, always aiming to hurt the opponents. 3. Very mobile in-and-out fighters such as Demetrious Johnson, TJ Dillashaw, Roy Jones. This is not the case with you too, you seem to be always in the mid-range. They are also much leaner than you 4. Last but not least you could go full Tyson, Fedor, Cain Velasquez style and be hyper-agressive. (although Tyson/fedor pick their shots and Cain throws more numbers, like you). You've got the cardio and the chin to fight like this, so why not? I have much in common with you, so took some time thinking about our current style. This is my conclusion: We are both young, smart guys with good lives. This also means we're afraid to get hurt or KOed. Combined with many light sparring sessions (teaching friends, students etc) we got to this very innefective style. Here's some very old footage of me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vlONKS5e5w8.html Yeah I can beat some 16 year old kids in the gym but this would suck in a real amateur or pro bout. To wrap it up, I'm a pussy and never got to compete in a real striking competition (my teacher left the gym and I ended up coaching classes for a year, never got real preparation for competitions after that). Now I'm thinking of coming back and doing some amateur bouts. Thanks for reading and please let me know if my points are flawed. After all, this is just theory and my ideas could be wrong.
