THE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS STANCE THAT WORKS AGAINST ALL ATTACKS!!! 40 YEARS OF TESTING! 

Im glad you are hitting the points on a certain BJJ online channel and these dudes talking about mma but not fully understanding the details. Too many mma guys depend on sprawling but like you mentioned if you adjust your stance a take down defense starts with a slight bend then using hands, forearms and elbows if needed. Sprawling should be the last result. But I know because I adapt the street selfdefense philosophy to sport instead of just doing the sport.

I have never seen (on RU-vid and in person) a better explanation on a stance for MMA and real fighting. As someone who has trained for 17+ years and has fought professional MMA, this is as good as it gets on how to properly structure a stance for MMA and real fighting. Also the "tossing punches," concept is always something I did intuitively due to being a shorter guys as a way to close distance but I thought perhaps it was improper technique. I am glad to see it actually being a valid technique and it actually having a coined term. Thank you sir!

You messed up by not releasing this spread out over an 8-DVD boxset haha 😂 Great vids as always

Coach Carman, when are you doing a video on why bjj is so expensive and where inner city kids can go to learn real grappling as alternative?

Isn't that a Karate Stance? Once more you appear to be emphasizing Karate Style foot-placement while utilizing Western Boxing and Wrestling techniques. I would agree that these are indeed natural and efficient body mechanics...for MMA or The Street. Superior instructive techniques. Great video.

That's odd I always had my hands out like that never realize in 30 years of training that wasn't the norm. My problem is I have more a boxing stance. Which is bad for takedowns. But better for blocking body shots. I can't seem to get it out of my muscle memory. Just ranting

Question: Why is the Philly Shell work so well for Floyd Mayweather and Roy jones JR isn't it dangerous for bountiful combinations?

Yes sir, this is my exact stance I have a slightly longer guard and I'm more active with the footwork, usually pressing to my right (Southpaw). Always seemed to work best as a tall guy.

This is the stance I was taught in Shorin Ryu Karate when I was a kid. Out of all the stances I've played with I always thought it was the perfect stance. Groin kicks and take down defense taken care of along with upper body mobility. Thank you for posting this. This channel has been a gold mine for well over a decade.

Simple and effective 👊 I love the demonstration, some snap in those movements!

As a former amateur kickboxer,old karate (shotokan,tangsoodo)and kungfu(fullcontact not b.s wushu) and bouncer ,I can say you are a real master who"been there done that".

If your stance works in Brick City, it'll work anywhere!!!

This would be amazing edited down and paused because the depth of explanation is incredible. The ending where Prof asked his guys to come at him unscripted is unique in martial arts youtube. I will make time stamps when i watch this again. We have 1. stance 2. demonstration of why stance works 3. explanation of 'tossing punches' (never heard this before)

Good video as always

As salaamualkyum excellent video. 👌 so it's a front stance you r sitting in?? And have you started your online classes yet ????

I noticed Floyd Patterson uses a similar technique to tossing punches when he throws repeated left hooks

Ammmazing Some deep shit

Seems like you should be careful of being to heavy on the lead leg. People heavy on the lead leg lose a good bit of punching power and balance. I’m not a trainer/professional or anything but I think being able to present a variety of different guards, postures and stances, depending on the circumstances, makes a fighter a little more unpredictable. Like the video. Food for thought. Like the mental labor associated with this kind of stuff.

BIG BOSS YOU ARE SPECIAL, PLEASE YOU PROMISED US BRUCE LEE.SPECIAL DOC BUT WE STILL HAVENT GOT IT

I couldn't tell, but is your lead foot turned slightly inward?

Did you ever teach Robbie Ruthless Lawler? :)

I could be wrong but when guys go for the double or single leg take downs in the street, I like to palm the ears with both hands. Something I learned in Kung Fu for a different situation, but I find that it works. What are your thoughts?

Make a video on why hard tough sparring is important

Coach can youndo a video on why high level strikers and grapplers fail at mma? What attributes are they missing? How can they make adjustments without compromising their specialty? You seem the most qualified to answer these questions. Master grappler Macelo Garcia was not able to make adjustments and lost twice despite being the world's best at bjj and muay thai champion Kit Cope failed at transitioning to mma as well. Whereas, a K1 guy like Mirko Crocop or Overeem did quite well as well as bjj master Demian Maia. What did they so right?

Is Karate better than TKD? I've hearing TKD has better kicks but I'm not sure about that.

It depends on your situations you need to be flexible and use all kinds of stance not just pne!
