Your assumptions right off the bat are fantastic, this video was from april of 2020. I think I am qualified to talk about my own sparring from a few months after I started now that I have a few years and amateur fights under my belt. These videos are meant to help the people who are just beginning, my boxing was absolutely terrible here. I post all kinds of sparring, new, old, other people’s.

I mean to be honest, this guy isn't wrong. I checked your entire page out and haven't found one video showing a significant improvement over 5 years. Unless you haven't posted them, this looks like somebody who MAY have 1 novice class fight. I will say, that the worst boxers come from an MMA/bjj background. It’s not a knock on MMA or Bjj, but that combat sport has so much to worry about. If your trainer is a “striking” coach, leave. He learned boxing from other MMA trainers/fighters. I’m not going to critique anything specifically, as I’m hoping I simply missed a video or you have yet to post anything. After 5 years, I was at the US Nationals OPEN class, twice in 2009 and 2011. I also fought out of a boxing-only gym in Philly. And that amateur circuit has little comparison to any other city. We often found when people came from the surrounding suburbs they were several levels below us and we had to tone it down. This was more specific to MMA gyms who showed up to get work from us. Hope to see some recent sparring videos posted or linked here soon.

@@Dudditz_TTV I will definitely post more recent sparring I will be going to the boxing gym soon. But TO BE HONEST I will never claim to be a boxing expert in fact this page is truly not meant to adhere to advanced boxers. More for people who are just getting started or self trained. To your theory, I started training boxing in January of 2020 and I had my first first June of 2021. I have two novice level amateur fights and one fight on streetbeefs and fought a legit NOVICE golden gloves champ from Lafayette Indiana (I know this is not very high level but I’m trying to be truthful here) I stopped boxing in 2022. I have 5 years of training as a martial artist but 2 years of boxing training total. So technically not 5 years of strictly boxing. Went to grappling but I have recently started incorporating striking into my training again. If you come from Philly I believe you are levels above because my coach would never have let me fight someone from Philly. You guys train for years over there before your first fight. Basic mma requires some level of basic knowledge on bjj, boxing, and wrestling, so although I am not an expert boxing the knowledge I share can still be applicable to someone brand new.

@@Dudditz_TTVthars cap boxing makes up a big chunk of the striking in mma. Karate,TKD, and Muay Thai is much worse at boxing than mma.

Totally agree with this

Definitely agree 100%, in order to get the most out of your grappling you must be good in every position, but you should be an expert in others. Turtle was one of the first positions I got good at because I got smashed all the time in the beginning.

Of course you can experiment other styles if you want, I also start off doing boxing and long guard work best for me

@@tranminhnhat2977 I love to use the long guard and the Philly shell depending on situation ofc, this video is from April 2020. The problem with my head movements in this video is that I am off balancing myself.

@@RealGunSlingers damn, in 2020?. I used to record my first sparring in early 2023 and I cant bare to watch them lol. Props to you for doing analysis on it

I’m glad this video could help you out!

It’s weird how they don’t teach you certain basic grappling techniques in a jiu jitsu school. The more years you start to train, the more ways you will figure out how to sub people in many different ways.

I think/hope so

Yes, I would say this is about 3-4 months after I started training consistently. I’ve been training for about 5 years now

Oh no 😂beating your dads ass. To your point, yes, when two athletes are trained size matters way more. 270 is pretty big but can be a pretty easy weight to deal with if you use your speed, these guys can be really easy to off-balance. A 6’5 400 pound dude with some real athleticism (even with little technical training) will be a HUGE threat to me.

@@RealGunSlingers speed doesn’t really play a factor on the ground and he’s very easy for me to control down there as well. i’m not saying size doesn’t matter at all, just not as much as technique

@@JakeBowling-15 speed can play a role in passing the guard of someone much bigger and slower. If the bigger guy has great timing he can counter. None of these things are the most important factors but they all play a role depending on the person. For instance one of Francis Ngannou’s most menacing traits is his raw power, for someone like Conor McGregor it’s his impeccable timing, for Khabib it’s his incredible understanding of control on the ground. He slowly wears people out. I’m not saying speed is important because not everyone has speed, but to say it is not a factor on the ground is not 100% true.

@@JakeBowling-15 also in scrambles speed and explosiveness can help.

@@RealGunSlingers you’re again talking about two trained athletes though. you’re not gonna get in intense scrambles with somebody who has no idea what they’re doing.

My rib hurt a bit for about 3 weeks after this and then I ended up breaking that rib after taking a body shot. Almost positive I wouldn’t have broken it if it wasn’t for this slam prior.

It happens sometimes, the strength makes up for the size a little bit if you’re stronger than the guy who’s bigger than you. Consider the fact that IF they are bigger automatically gives them more leverage in any position because of their weight advantage. There are many guys bigger than me who are much softer and weaker.

Also consider different types of strength. Grappling strength is very specific type of strength.

That’s very unfortunate, this is why I would never start problems with anybody in that kind of scenario. Too many variables.

Idk wtf I was thinking either 😂

The amount of people who also seem to think that somehow it should be an easy task countering a GOOD WRESTLER 80 pounds heavier than you and twice as strong as you, not to mention he moves fast and explosively.

Good question, I will make a video on this soon. One way is to use your footwork to trap them/corner them. The main problem here is that I am taking such a large step, that my posture is severely broken and I am off balance. I could’ve done the same movement with a smaller lateral step off the front foot. The less you extend parts of your body the better.

Incorrect

@@MildlyHumorous-cq1nncorrect*

@@MildlyHumorous-cq1nnslightly incorrect. The big guy is less skilled than small guy but is bigger so he win. If the big guy had no wrestling he’d be submitted

If two people are equally skilled it comes down to size vs speed. Size usually beats out speed but speed can beat size. It’s just the disparity between the speed of small and large people isn’t as big as the weight disparity

@@jocoolshow no... it comes down to numerous factors, its a fight, anything can happen. Being heavier 10lbs and being heavier 30 lbs are 2 different things. Yall are acting like someone being heavier few pounds is a game changer 10/10 times.

Of course it would be completely different

It was definitely spectacular

I tried to get the leg inside, you can see my foot flex as he lifts me up before I can completely hook around the back of the knee. (Because I reacted too late) This was over 2 years ago but there’s always room for improvement.

Salt life.

@@RealGunSlingers much respect for training with heavier people man. I like that as well. You know, fighting heavier guys is a completely DIFFERENT SCIENCE than normal training. Look at Ricardo Arona not letting go a Triangle Choke and immediately getting brutally slammed in Pride, against Rampage Jackson. That’s a great example. Getting more experienced with defending yourself for real life situations is much more valuable, IMO, than getting too much offensive and risking yourself against giant dudes. Unless you are a professional athlete that will 100% fight only people in your weight class your entire life.

@@indianna.777 100% underrated comment dude. You don’t know how many people avoid training with others outside of their weight class. When IN FACT training with bigger guys uses different tactics, leverages. Because guys can be much much wider/taller than you. It actually makes you better at beating guys your size too. YOU know exactly what you are saying! Btw didn’t take offense to your comment, can’t be salty when I subbed him we both got our licks in.

@@RealGunSlingers glad you didn’t take offense to my comment, I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful. And yes, you subbing a dude that heavy shows that you are no joke. Considering this was 2 years ago, i suppose you are now a k1ller. I would not mess with you.

Thank you!

Yes, if you notice he is trying to work his Philly shell guard. Since he’s southpaw the right hand will be down. If you are orthodox it will be your left.

Will keep them coming for sure! 💪🏼

100% true

Believe it or not I’m actually a barber 😂

Maybe 🤷🏽‍♂️

💪🏼💪🏼 love it

For real

Never saw that one. He didn’t finish me with the slam tho 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@RealGunSlingers oh sheesh, you gotta go watch it. Randleman power bombs Fedor onto his head and Fedor just takes it and gets the sub. In the post-fight interview he explained why he didn't go out or even react by saying through a translator "I train to fall from great distances". 😂 I was kidding, man. Guess I'm getting old enough that my library of references are out of date. Have a good one, man.

@@justinkennedy3004 I guess I never watched too many of fedors fights even knowing he’s one of the greats. I’ll have to look at some of his fights and interviews for sure. Figured u were kidding when u quoted him, it was my ignorance not your age 😂

@@justinkennedy3004 just watched it btw. I’ve seen it somewhere. That was a sick suplex and awesome submission!

Factual statement right here. It’s hilarious how many ignorant people there are in the comments.
