The bond and interaction with your son on screen is beautiful and admirsblr. Very natural and genuine onscreen for the camera. I run a community youth MMA academy and gym.

My friend introduced me to some great DIY pad ideas a many years back. For a single strike focus pad a phone book wrapped with duct tape makes a solid target. Leave an opening at the top so you can get your fingers in to hold on to it. It has a great feel, and good audible feedback if you hit it right or not. Another option is old fabric (our preference is old jeans cut down into its basic panels with seams and rivets removed) rolled/folded up, and wrapped with duct tape. makes a good elbow pad for a friend to hold. Alternately I've added tabs to one so I can use bungy cords to hold it to a tree. When it is on the tree it has the same feel as a heavy bag, but it lacks the swing of a bag. You have to work around it like you would work around a free standing bag.

Wonderful, no-bullshit-accepted advice right here. I've done the couch cushion thing myself before, works pretty well! It was also awesome to see Maddox put in the work, kid's got heart for sure, and the editing with the rotating camera at the end and using the heavy bag as a cutting point to swap the real gear for the DIY gear was really well done. Awesome video, thanks for helping us stay on top of things during these chaotic times!

@wendellbenedict4793 4 года назад

When I started as a teenager many years ago. I'm in my 50's now. We used X-ray film for punches and kicks. My teacher also had a plastic bat with both ends cut off that he would swing at us to practice blocks, parries, and bob and weave. Both items were very useful for the training at that time and even now. We students really enjoyed the cracking sounds of the X-ray film. My Sensei would keep us all on on our toes when swinging the bat because he would be swinging it at one student but then suddenly swing it at any students within his reach. He believed in teaching us to be alert and prepared.

@IcyMikeP 4 года назад

Well, I can promise you it was also because it was very fun.

Yo icy Mike. This comment is for Maddox. I don't know how old you are, but you hit those pads better than most grown ass men that I've seen who've been training for years. Don't get down on yourself man. I even watched you and thought to myself "damn. That kid has some f***ing hands!" 😂 I hope you stay with the sport because you have a talent at such a young age that I'd say more than 90 percent of grown men don't nor will ever have. The ability to defend yourself. And your loved ones. I just wanted to say that. Don't ever think you suck at hitting. You're only still a child and you have adult level skills. Not only that but you're ONLY going to keep getting better as you go. Love the content icy Mike. I'm a die hard subscriber. I watch every video. 👍🏾
