Hey Shane, I met you the other day at the Bellator fights in Chicago! You were a really cool dude! Keep doing your thing man!

[@fighttips]

Great meeting you, buddy! Take care.

[@marcellemonde8422]

fightTIPS Shane out of all the sports why did you choose boxing?

[@skys6655]

Marcel Lemonde basic striking and angles

[@peerreview8970]

Say Shane, you should truly give some praise to whoever does the camera work and video editing. The quality of these videos (Not content, which has always been pretty darn good but rather the technical quality) has increased dramatically these last few months. It was never terrible, but it has truly reached a professional level. The way the the scenes are framed and shot, and the editing is done at a very high level. Watching this from a 10bit Pro Art panel really shows high level of quality. The color work in particular is quite superb, which also alludes to fact you guys/gals have gone the extra step in sussing out the set lighting as well. All in all, even after KZbin's appalling compression has had it's way with with the video; the end product you deliver for us is of very high quality indeed. The vast majority of visitors to KZbin don't really comprehend (or think about, or even care for that matter) how mind-numbingly tedious and time consuming (Not too mention how obscenely expensive) it is to produce any content, let alone at such a high quality. So more often than not it is taken for granted. That being said, I myself do very much appreciate it, and thought I'd point some praise at you & your team. So again, Thank you very much.

[@Zoziebaby]

We appreciate you Shane. Deliberate, Articulate, Informative.. keep up the good work bro

[@sophisticatednebula4236]

[@BritishGandalf]

Great vid Shane!

[@papopoprostu]

Shane! Great work with those in between visaul effect. They are not too obvious and they keep the vibe of your gym and general fighting theme. I say that as an architecture student. Had to point it out to you. :)

[@nabilsyed7441]

[@javiermercado6960]

Right on Shane 💪🏼👍🏼Great tips as always. Quick question for you, Are you going to come back with that Mit work certification course and business plan anytime in the near future? Does that course also train on proper footwork to land those punches more effectively? Appreciate all the good content you put out for us Shane, thanks again 🙏🏼

[@TeDoGBi]

[@justinserna9995]

[@nabilsyed7441]

[@rossthysse6345]

I have been watching Shane's videos for a while now and it has helped me so much with w my boxing

[@AqueleGamer]

I've been fighting for years and never got why my footwork so stiff despite the rest being good. I get it now, it's because I have been born flat feet and I step at a 90 degree angle, thanks Shane

[@myjizzureye]

I don't always put on hand wraps but when I do I leave my ring on.

[@bg-seraph6269]

Thanks I needed this cuz I'm always self conscious about my footwork

[@pingutheg7090]

Thanks man this really explained a lot about foot work which isn't my strong suit at all you'd be a great teacher

[@twostroker1070]

Good tips 👍 ,

[@leonb4657]

Thank you, Shane.

[@shevb]

Good stuff my G

[@Akash-hu3vb]

You are the best!

[@StrikerZidane]

Great tips Shane! Just have a question on your 5th tip. If I go far away from the opponent's dominant arm (for example right), how do I put my left lead foot outside his right foot while staying far from his right arm. Subbed also. Thanks in advance!

[@topvideosengracados2621]

great video buddy! My boxing stance is a mixture of peekaboo and the traditional boxing, and it works for me because I can throw combinations very fast from the hips with proper technic.

[@psydogmusic2922]

good stuff.

[@jdo34time71]

thx🔥

[@MoxTvOnMe]

Good job

[@fightkoremmafitness566]

Never heard of this guy but he is exactly on point.

[@1957346]

I have learned soo much from this guy

[@zeeeroify]

very good

[@joecalderbank46]

hi Shane, please may you do an advanced version of this

[@ismailburakyigit7343]

thank you bro you're best

[@sauerbone5208]

Tip 5 was very helpful because I think I have a tendency to circle to the left without thinking too much about it.

[@thomasholm4338]

Can you plese add one for fotwork in relation to specific kicks and punches? I had a very irritating tendency to balance and ''fall backwards'' after roundhouse kicks. Fixed it with the slight step-out pre- kick. Oh, and great video as always!

[@daviddewanto]

This guy's production and delivery keep improving. Great work!

[@nopenope_b2224]

Yaas Shane thanks

[@StreetBeefsFighter]

Ok! So about the jittery movement thing! I understand that completely! In my debut Underground fight (on my channel) I got to anxious and thought about my movement to much and ended up like shuffling my feet toward my opponent, which was a horrible and a stupid idea! But anyway I think that had something to do more with how nervous I was so I always try to work on the foot works now to make sure I don't make the same mistakes 2x

[@LILJAY-iv7tw]

Hey fight tips I have a question how can I control somebody who swings wild and fast ? Like arms swinging everywhere uncontrollably

[@tplayer23424]

i always try to block those hooks. by moving my blocking arm to the side. . this really doesnt work if that guy has ko power or is heavier than you.

[@roxannezingleman4000]

use foot work like Lamacheko

[@tplayer23424]

block his first hook, and punch him at the *same time* with your non defending arm. if you are a hard hitter, this will stop his combination. if hes bigger and stronger than you, then there isnt really a good way to fight him.

[@Cin9999]

Jeremiah Rodriguez just cover, clinch and sweep/throw all those people giving shit advice straight otta action movies never fought

[@vqn4dream79]

distance him and counter punch

[@thephoenixlord9339]

Shane, can u show us how to block a hook kick? Cause it seems very effective and I've barely seen it fail, it's almost a knockout all of the time

[@wbertocchi]

Hey i got some troubles moving back and keeping a good cross, there is a video that you can suggest to me? Thanks

[@baldguywitaswordkratos5276]

hey shane i was wondering if you could put a vid up on how to shuffle like ali and other famous fighters that shuffle a lot

[@megatron337]

We all want more 5 things

[@mr-lionhart600]

Nice👍👊

[@danielroa9528]

Hey Shane I have a question. First off I love your videos they have gotten me better since I've started watching and im having fun practicing. My question is that you talk about being in balance when throwing the jab and cross. I have seen footage of manny Pacquiao and he completely over extends his punches sometimes. Is this because he is confident the punch is going to land and that he is well experienced? Is there a time where we should over extend if we think the punch will land? thank you and respect for the channel love your videos 👍

[@richardsagrit7153]

As far as I’ve seen from watching and learning is that practice and drills are to get muscle memory and good habits. But once you’re in a ring and the bell dings for a real fight, all bets are off. Hopefully the techniques will be there when they need to but it’s a fight and obviously when you start going at someone a lot of that technique can fly out the window. Max Holloway is one of the best boxers in the UFC, but because of his experience, from a technical aspect his hands are always low and he eats too many shots but from his experience he’s found it works for him still. So if pacquiao throws a few off balance or wild shots, his training and habits will still hopefully get him right back into a tight guard and good defence even though he went wild for a sec.

[@FightAlex]

Love your videos! I've been meaning to start making some on more advanced boxing techniques but I get busy and forget. This week I'm going to get one done Your anti bullying work is awesome. We need more good people around

[@KingLoBriN]

Thanks for this video Shane! Come to Hawaii .

[@minhtrietang1875]

Shane, please make a video how to choose time to attack your opponent.

[@a7699aaa]

you should do a video about Damato's shift, it's a fundamental footwork of boxing.

[@indrawangosal8281]

shane, do video how to footwork like vasyl lomachenko

[@TheWillToFight]

Come across one of your old videos where you had dreadlocks you need to grow them back lol 👍

[@Valenced]

i joined boxing for 1 month and this help!

[@tplayer23424]

which fighter is the best at parrying punches?

[@niggmaballs]

fightTIPS can you do the spear its a wrestling move.

[@shahasjad9677]

Nice

[@petergruber841]

The wide stance is one of my greatest problems - my footwork is not really awesome due to knee problems. I am not a professional nor have I ever attended boxing class, but I want to improve nontheless

[@bckhunter6604]

Hey fightTIPS, I have a question on how to fight and defend against someone who trucks you from behind. Could you please address this? This is a problem I have almost every single day. Thanks!

[@burntsky64]

And when you cross your legs for side step, makes its a lot easier to just push you off balance if caught when they are crossed

[@The1411991]

Don't circle into their power hand! - looking at you Bisping... Well my biggest issue (besides obvious technical mistakes) are my sweaty feet :D I really have to put on socks, to not slip on the tatami mats... Thinking about changing to bandages when I start competing...

[@williamhenley8593]

That is grim mate

[@engietv7490]

Shane, could you make video for us how to overcome fear ? How to stay calm when fighting

[@bryandowdall6851]

eN GieTV he already made one 👍

[@ddllawless917]

useful

[@saminsaqlain9099]

hey shane How to defend against body shots

[@fighttips]

With your elbows/forearms! Compress down by bending your knees, so your hands don't drop from your face.

[@nirmitbatra4741]

fightTIPS Shane don't we have a narrow stance in Muay Thai pls tell😃

[@Lonesniper41]

Philly shell

[@ippinekebe3238]

Start praying to Jesus

[@dinovdesignco]

Shane,i have a problem with my left foot,i have metatarsalgia and i can't move correctly or throw my combos correctly and technique.I bought some metatarsal pads but they don't help because when we spar we are bare footed and i tore the pads.This is a longterm problem and i've seen a doctor and he told me to get metatarsal pads a because i have flat foot,but as i said before,they didn't helped me.What should i do? THANKS!

[@joseestrada6963]

I have a question,like I'm in boxing but at my school some kids bully me do you think I can win in a street fight with if I fight 3 at the same time

[@jkrisanda2011]

hypnotic base gloves

[@PhatChewbacca]

Hey Shane. I tried throwing a bunch of different elbows against my heavy bag but half the time I hit my funny bone. How do it use elbows without hitting my funny bone? Thanks for the footwork tips they were very helpful.

[@mysecondaccount2074]

PhatChewbacca train to hit with the tip of your elbow, focus on your elbow cap

[@PhatChewbacca]

MySecond Account thanks shane!

[@TruePhil]

1. Slight bend knees, more rhythm, stance not too wide or narrow 2. Keep pressure on balls of feel, don't have to be off heels 3. Don't cross legs, Lead leg moves first, not walking b/c hips are square and open for attack, blatted=hips turned less surface area to get hit 4. Keep hands and feet in sync. Both feet on ground when punch lands, step 6in with left need 6 in with right to get back into stance 5. Don't just move forward and back, move 360 degrees, right and left, don't move into opponents power hand move into jab hand.

[@wrestler-kickboxer2524]

Im 19 and have only a month of Bjj training and I want to be in the UFC in 5-10 years. What do I need to train and how often? P.S. I've learned a little from watching UFC and I can fight much better than before just by watching UFC and I'm a quick learner.

[@xxmrppman69x33]

@fightTIPS hey i would love opinions. i have a troubled past and no more fighting would be tolerated. i was wondering if i could go to a martial arts studio and have my parents and this other kids parents sign a waiver so i can fight somebody who is adamant about fighting me. looking for a way to legally settle a score

[@ronaldson57]

when throwing hook, uppercut, and cross and kicks do i allway have to pivot my feet because i see alot of pro fighters dont pivot there feet they just rotate there hips and allow there strikes follow through are they wrong or correct?

[@TonyMontana-hd2qj]

Shane,what should i do on rest days so i can recover and also should i rest after a realy hard work beacuse yesterday i was running like 4 miles?

[@doctorbaker5602]

Din Masovic rest days should consist of a healthy walk and stretching. cards with friends or some other activity you enjoy.

[@JudahRiggins]

what do you recommend when you are flat footed and you're off balance by just standing? I have no arches in my feet. even worse in my rear foot. the inside of my foot touches the ground and the outside sometimes I'm the air. so balance is not my friend

[@dylanresto9549]

whats the best mma work outs I can do I got a bench set at home and a speed bag and a Jump rope that's all I got to work with

[@doctorbaker5602]

Dylan Resto set a timer to 3 min and see how many times you can bench 45lbs in that time frame. rest 1 min repeat 3 times,trying to beat that number each round. builds punch speed and endurance. next skip the rope 3 minute rounds,counting each jump and trying to best it each round,repeat 3 rounds.1 min rest between rounds. then 3 rounds on the speedball.3 min rounds.

[@lw4842]

Shane why don't you use Sandee boxing gloves?

[@keifonethegreat2391]

Tried to use the first one, but I think that glitch was patch in version 4.1

[@heltonrolobcv2181]

Shane i cant do much force on the balls of my foot, because i have muscular atrofy but could you give me an alternative and some training habists (for shadowboxing) ?

[@milosstupljanin9817]

Start making quick tips again Shane like before

[@timothycochran4463]

Hey Shane, can you make a wrestling video?

[@crocop1582]

@Shane Fazen.. How are you buddy?? I'll be in a local MMA match on 10th April..

[@fighttips]

Nice man, have fun!

[@michaeltyson6665]

can u give me a 1 week program, I am doing mma and weight training. please thankyou

[@callumninja2322]

Ive been doing muay thai for a year and have i am 4th grade with all distinction and in the lesson i have to clinch against someone who is top grade, the teacher always tells me to work on footwork in a clinch, i want to know how to improve

[@domejazvin2035]

name of those gloves please !!!

[@dejanraznatovic1590]

can you make a video on how many miles(km) should i run for boxing and in how many minutes should i finish that distance?

[@doctorbaker5602]

dejan raznatovic 3-10 miles is what most pros run. you are training for boxing not running so time is not a major issue. also mix in sprints and shadowboxing with your roadwork to replicate the broken pace that is boxing. every 3 minutes of running mix in either 15 secs of shadowbox or sprint.

[@dejanraznatovic1590]

Doctor Baker thanks

[@gurseveksrc3386]

Pun this so people now to subscribe to you and your amazing

[@Shadow-wq4xh]

must practice errrrrday

[@MrPug99]

Hey fighttips, I was wondering if a fighter could use a side stance in a fight, if would be useful or not

[@fighttips]

Absolutely, look at Wonderboy and McGregor. You can't stay in that stance the whole time though, as you're susceptible to leg kicks, takedowns, etc. Cung Le was great at transitioning stances while punching.

[@MrPug99]

fightTIPS thanks

[@rexxywealth2751]
