Excellent advice as always, training your mindset to think like this, creates instinctive muscle memory - you are able to see vital targets as they present themselves- eyes, throat, groin ect.

You have a right to life, if someone wants to infringe on that, you are allowed to respond with enough force to end the threat. Most people here live in a civilized society, so force is rarely needed, which is nice, but that civilized society is build on the threat of violence against anyone, who wants to challenge the law / consensus. Being a pacifist is in itself immoral, because you are thereby mandating others to use force to defend you, as it is the duty of an upstanding citizen to prevent crime.

Parents and teachers do not teach concepts of appropriate violence cause life for them is more comfortable if they only teach obedience.The older I get the more I am concerned that children do not learn anything useful for life in public schools. Beeing nonviolent encourages attackers, I never looked at it that way, very true!

Good evening, sir. When I was a teen, I had a couple of Dr. Steiner's Paladin books. I would like to have another copy of them but, Paladin went the way of the dinosaurs. I would appreciate knowing where to find them for an affordable price. PM me if you can, and I will give you the titles. I guess Paladin quit publishing them after some lawsuit. Again, I would be thankful for your help.

Hey Mark, great video. I started boxing when I was 17. I had no formal training of any kind and didn't know what to expect. My trainer started me out with fists to either cheek and my chin tucked to my chest. All I did for the first 6 weeks was learn how to stay on the balls of my feet and step side to side, forward and rearward. Every time I stepped I had to make a sound. (At the time, I didn't realize this was actually a boxers version of "kiai "). I was not allowed to throw any punches at all. Next I learned to pivot, bob and weave. Finally he taught me how to jab and I spent at least a month jabbing. Next was the right cross, then the left hook, right hook and uppercut. Each new technique was added to a prior technique. I trained 5 days per week, 1 1/2 hours with him in the ring each day. It was almost a year before I was putting it all together and shadow boxing and another year before he ever let me spa with another boxer. When I started training with Prof. Steiner, I explained all this to him. I was a white belt for almost 2 years but he knew I wasn't in a rush and in that time I became ambidextrous, including boxing. But not just in the techniques I was learning, it carried over to everything in my life; bowling, throwing darts, shooting pool, throwing a ball and even writing. So practice, practice and more practice can't be emphasized enough!

Hello, May I ask you, as a fellow boxer, why you felt a need or desire to study under Bradley Steiner when you were already training as a western boxer? Secondly, may I ask, was Bradley Steiner athletic and able to apply American Combato methods at full speed with explosive power generation? Thank you brother. 🥋🥊

@@SoldierDrew Hi Drew, I trained under Matthew Ray Drayton, "Poppa Ray" in Dorchester, MA from 1986 through 1990 or 91. I moved out to WA state and I had no idea where to go or who to talk to about boxing. I worked at Fed Ex and made friends with one of Prof. Steiner's students, Eric Herzog. He got me in touch with Prof. Steiner and after observing one class I was hooked. Though I loved boxing, I never had any ambition to do it professionally or even as an amateur. I just loved learning and working with "Poppa Ray". And my initial interest in boxing only developed due to hanging around another friend of mine who had been doing it for years. As for a "need or desire", I was just looking to stay in shape so it was a great opportunity to learn something different while doing so. As for your second question, I believe Prof. Steiner was roughly 43 when I started training with him. He never failed to surprise me in various ways. In a formal classroom setting he would demonstrate movements half speed, (probably quarter speed actually). There were a few times I questioned him about techniques during a private lesson and he went full speed, to which I was surprised at how fast he was for "an old guy", considering I was in my early 20's. He was also REALLY friggin strong. I remember one time, after I started cross training in Hapkido, I tried putting a hold on him and he just pulled away and through the hold, leaving me feeling a bit silly. So yeah, he was "athletic" and knew how to apply power. :)

You have to consider that pendulum exists, a simple low kick or oblique kick or calf kick won't do it, maybe against a very well grounded boxer you will have success in doing that, but if he keeps bouncing back and forth, it's gonna be hard, similar to TKD.

first of all people who seriously train combat sports - are not bullies. secondly you are crazy if you do not take into the table high level of training, physical and mental preparation, hundreds of rounds of sparring and against all of that you put some trick from the systema. it is absurd.

Boxing & Judo make a man very dangerous. Best fighter I knew in the Army was a 5th Group 18 bravo, collegiate folk wrestling champion who had a Judo blackbelt. I saw him take a knifer down then repeatedly bounce the knifer's face off concrete til he went limp. He didn't get stabbed nor cut. Best fighter I seen in prison was Mustafa, Tennessee Dept of Corrections, a power lifter who'd been a pro boxer, semi pro football player and Kyokushin blackbelt. He fought off an ambush of multiple attackers armed with steel shanks & ice picks at SCCF/CCA by using western boxing on the rec yard. He made it to a wall, put his back to it and moved up & down that wall, shooting in to knock out attackers then shooting out to get back to the wall. He always wore weight lifting gloves to protect knuckles from teeth & bloodborne diseases and a thick weight lifting belt to protect kidneys from stabbing and wrap around sun glasses to protect the eyes from ambush attack. A rolled up towel around his neck tucked into his shirt to protect the carotid & jugular from stabbing. A pro boxer develops very dense, larger, stronger carpal and metacarpal bones from power lifting as he did. And by doing lots of kara te fist push-ups as he did daily on concrete. One shot each was all it took to drop each armed aryan nation gang member he hit. They were unable to stab him. A true gladiator.

Great posting, I have always advocated boxing, for many reasons not the least of which as a fantastic foundation- "Breaking free from muggers: In 1971, Dempsey told the press about an incident where he was assaulted while walking home at night. He said that he broke free from two young muggers and knocked them both out on the sidewalk. " (this happened when Jack was already 75 years of age.) - Our beloved Prof. Brad Steiner advocated boxing- Glad you are posting again Mark- Be Well Brother- Paul

Thank you for putting that together. I was a student of Prof. Steiner's in Seattle for about a year. I kept meaning to return. All the photos towards the end--loved his faith in the pen over the sword. His love of simple, disposable pens like Bics-how they make nice sticky toys and seeing how he loved it again--melts my heart. Feel lucky to have been a student of his. 🥹 RIP 🙏🏽
