Tony check out UFC 6. David Tank Abbott vs John Matua. That was a fight that happened in the early days of the UFC and they didn't have a lot by way of rules. That was probably the most brutal knockout I have ever seen in competition.
its more like oil, it also has no medical usage as far as i know its just dead fillweight to make certain parts of your body look bigger without any gain other than size
Hey Tony I just wanted to say that even though I am a double black belt in Shotokan Karate, ur boxing videos are still so inspiring to me and I started to practice some boxing all thanks to ur inspiring videos on it! Thanks again Mate!
@@AjaychinuShah Just so you know, ur talking to a sensei with two black belts and has had 11 years of experience in Shotokan Karate. I have done over a thousand knife hand strikes through my whole experience and I haven't had a single injury like joint paralysis. Like what the hell are you talking about and how do knife hand strikes cause joint paralysis. In fact, knif hand strikes are a very powerful technique in Karate which is useful in many situations. And FYI, if u are seriously lecturing someone like me about reality, I'll have you know that the training I do up to this day, is all for real life self defence situations! And even if knife hand strikes cause joint paralysis which they don't, how does that have anything to do with the comparison between red belt and blakc belt?!! I learned knife hand strikes at yellow belt and I still use them up to the rank of black belt I am now. An if you seriously got something as severe as joint paralysis from something as simple as knife hand strikes, then you must have been doing them in a really wrong/stupid way.
Brilliant compilation Tony. Impressive, a litlle scary and very informative as you break down how power and technique were applied so effectively delivered in each situation. Hope you're doing well. Cheers.
I know this is off topic but who thinks tony is the best boxing coach on yt,super entertaining and very informative,1 year ago at one point i binge watched tony's vids and i saw the biggest improvement in just a year(been boxing for 4 years now),i could even coach my friends when theyre interested in boxing,tony isthe goat of yt boxing.
4:00 that kind of looks like the ref helped straighten him out before his fall. It looks like he was trying to pull him into landing on his back and it worked.
Hey Tony! I recently started watching some of your older content to help me out on my journey as a part-time boxer (I do boxing as a hobby and something to do for fun/good exercise). I'm recently bummed out since I can't really throw out hooks that well so I resort to jabs and straights. Are there ways to improve the power of my jabs and straights or make better hooks?
Hello, my friends. I have a question that I hope to answer. Can a martial arts practitioner continue training alone without a coach? I have a full year of experience in martial arts training because I no longer have time to go to the training session.
Hi Tony. I've just watched your video on training with injured hands and wrapping injured hands... I have a fight coming up in a month and a bit but, my thumb seems to constantly get injured. First my left thumb and now my right... The injury takes my thumb (making a fist and grip strength) out of commission for weeks ! I can't tell if it's from my thumb's position in the glove, improper form or something else. Do you have any advice on recovery and prevention ? Thanks mate 👍 (ouch)
These reaction videos are great. Can you do one on some King of the Streets content? Would love to see your take on it. It's no gloves, no rules, and they fight in random places like parking garages and rooftops. What's interesting about it though is that the fighters are actually skilled and some are quite high level, seen a few pro boxers in there.
Please, Coach, can you help me solve my problem, which is that when I hit the right punch, I cannot fully straighten my arm. I think this is because of the elbow, or it may be what is called elbow stiffness. Is there a solution to my problem?
The tai chi Vs muay Thai fight is a perfect example of someone that spars regularly and knows what to do against a person who's only done the basics. Tai chi man should have kept his guard close to his chin or at least move in to reduce the amount of power from that punch 😬
For anyone who is also southpaw and you slip on the inside be VERY VERY VERY careful dangerous because your lining your head straight for their right hand
The first fight you've reacted to was in Germany it was a "Bodybuilder"/RU-vidr vs a experienced Boxer with many fights. The guy that gets knocked out said he trained lot of combat sports in his youth. Then i saw his heavybag work. This dude just talks and talks....
I feel like the referee acted just right, would it have been a boxing match it would be nasty but against an mma fighter who isnt realizing that you are not his oponennt you have to defend your own safety in a different way. So in this case guillotine to stop his attempt foar a takedown and ground n pound into oblivion. Its unfortunate that he went to sleep before other people could get him in a grip to help but i dont think the referee should have acted differently. I also interpret the smile as a "didnt saw that before" and dont think thats unreasonable to do then xD
The whole 'touch gloves' after the first round is bogus. I've never seen a fighter not use it to surprise the other guy. Just don't do it, stay focused.
All sparring is stupid unless it's with a coach. I just don't trust someone not to go all out to 'prove' something. Yes, good sparring partners exist...but I think it's just better to use a coach or to not spar. Why injure yourself before a real fight because billy badass wants to prove he's a man?
Tony - the dude with the weird arms is using Synthol. He's basically just artificially pumping up his arms with oil the same way a woman would get lip injections.
7:43 Yeah that ref should lose his license and be permanently banned from reffing any combat sports. It's not like the fighter was intentionally fighting the ref he was half out on his feet and was instinctually fighting, he just didn't know the fight was over already.
Tony...even as a boxer you have to appreciate the technical ability and speed of that kick @1:40 - that was straight out of a Jackie Chan film, absolute quality. T'ai chi isn't yoga, lol - it's one of the 3 main internal styles of Chinese kung fu and does have some combat applications, t'ai chi ch'uan translates roughly as "grand ultimate fist" if I remember correctly. Some argue that is it and always was totally ineffective, others disagree and reckon the combat aspect has been lost over time or is rarely taught. It's easy to disregard the art based on the sort of thing we see happening here, but if you look back at older exponents of the art like Cheng Man Ch'ing you can see some impressive stuff, very nimble and able to root - the other internal styles are bagua (or pa-kua) ch'uan and hsing-i (xing-yi). I think the problem people have with these arts is they seem to come with a lot of mysticism attached and a lot of charlatans who think they're masters but this is not a new concept, those guys were around centuries ago, impressing crowd with parlor tricks like brick breaking - a great book on this subject is Chinese boxing by Robert W. Smith, highly recommend. I read a lot about this stuff over the years as was fairly interested specifically in hsing-i, which is more direct and no-nonsense, similar to wing chun. I've concoluded that it's just the old Chinese way of describing what we now call kinetic linking, hsing-i is really interesting and I consider it a legitimate fighting art, bagua and t'ai chi are more flowery, using a lot of circular movements, slow, static and moving meditation, some people just practice it for health, strenghtening the core, better balance, etc - few learn the martial applications. Hsing-i is interesting, look it up, I believe there's value there for anyone interested in boxing, it's about economy of movement, direct and explosive power (fa jin) - you have to be able to decode the mysticism and put it into a more western context. I like this video, you should do more of these more often 👍
somewhere along the line in China's history kung fu went from being about fighting to a sport that's done only for fitness. These so called masters of kung fu have nothing on the guys and girls who do sanda, muay thai or boxing. I think it might have to do with the cultural revolution, a great number of people who had specialised knowledge were taken to concentration camps or executed. Not just martial artists but engineers, doctors, professors and scholars also. There was a piece of propaganda from the communist party that told youngsters, " father and mother are both dear to you, but not as dear as Mao Ze Dong"
