Comment below if you want to see a new full tutorial on how to fight bigger and taller opponents!

[@user-zt7dx4pv1e]

Thank you Jeff for this great video give me some new ideas for my pressure game against taller opponnents. I will be happy for some new videos on how to fight taller opponents. Thanks🙌🥊🔥💪

[@mansionpacking570]

Yess please fighting taller dudes is tuff man🤙

[@elliotleijon4794]

that would be great

[@patricsteele]

Yes ! Also if you could show some elbow combinations against opponents that have a small enough height advantage that keeps their jaw in range when you're tied up or have them against the ropes. Thx for all the helpful videos!

[@Renzii]

PLEASE YESSS

Whoever is recording, he is doing a fantastic job

Fighting someone 6 inches taller and 70 pounds heavier. Trying to binge any Jeff content I can relevant to that

[@MMAShredded]

damn! haha

[@SallowDawn]

@@MMAShredded Thank you for what you do with this channel

[@gabrielalittleevealves9455]

My tip is a gun, but if you don't have one, as a tall guy I recommend aggressive counter striking and clinching

[@D3great12]

Timing and good counter shots dont get hit tho lol. I do boxing and i dont even want to know what itd be like catching a knee from someone 70lbs over me

[@SuperBlake89]

​@@MMAShreddedwhere are you training and coaching these days? Which clubs?

[@MichaelMassie]

Who was talking behind the camera? Dude’s reactions had me rolling.

[@MMAShredded]

haha his name is John! he is awesome!

[@byronsmith1982]

That double step low kick works like magic most of the time. People will forever remember you Jeff. You have transceded time and space already!

[@MMAShredded]

thank you :)

[@FirstStepTravelers]

Great stuff, the camera man had me rolling as well!

[@nickyeng7444]

His overhand is intense! Awesome footage cleanly demonstrating a flying knee into shelled v open guard with distance. Clear and very concise teaching point with a good narration. Your students are impressive, but I am most envious of your cameraman 😂. We all need a guy like him for the energy and humor. Impressive video with excellent teaching points.

[@Banished-rx4ol]

The new age counter striker, instead of waiting for opportunities you move forward and make them. Conor mcgregor, canelo, ngannou, etc are aggressive counter strikers whose best knockouts come off a counter

[@jurgenmuller3704]

its not really a new age. This style of counterstriking always existed. Also counter strikers that fight more defensively and on the outside, also dont just wait for opportunities but create them instead. They just do it differently. I get that aggressive counter striking is more fun to watch for most, but that doesnt make the less aggressive way less skillfull

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!

[@afrorevolution6125]

You always will get youngsters when they just found out about someone or something calling it "new" but you are correct​@@jurgenmuller3704

[@Banished-rx4ol]

@@jurgenmuller3704 It has but its become more popular and lets not act like counter-strikers who fight on the outside are usually fun. Sometimes fighters get stuck “staring at the mirror” at each other even the best like anderson silva have performances where they just stare at each other refusing to lead.

[@jurgenmuller3704]

@@Banished-rx4ol I mean I literally said, that i get that more aggressive figthers are more exiting to watch for most. I just corrected you that the more defensive fighters dont just wait for opportunities but create them. Your first post made it seem like defensive counter strikers who fight on the outside are less skilled. And thats just not the truth

[@SifuNate]

Great round and awesome tips!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

thanks Sifu!

[@MMAShredded]

thanks :)

[@Kirk690_0]

the more of your sparring vids i watch i realise my striking style is predominantly based around things iv watched you do 🤣 after watching your instructional on striking fanatics iv constantly used the kick to superman and double step low kicks in almost every round and a training partner asked if id ever seen your videos as my head movement he said was similar 🙌 very flattering comparison to be compared (although obviously not as good as ) your self 👌👌

[@MMAShredded]

haha thats awesome!!! keep it up man one day you will look better!

[@g.valdez]

This actually helps me in something I've been lacking at, which is what to do when the opponent just covers, because "just hitting guard" gives no points.

[@MMAShredded]

when opponent covers up, its the easiest! Anything can land

[@M_Man116]

Oh man I learned so much from this good video!

As a student at Wonderboy’s school, I’m often trying to close distance on guys with a really solid karate base. Gonna keep the key points of this video in mind as far as closing distance and not getting tagged on the way in or out.

Thank you, I realized now why my entering is always failing. I didn't commit enough when I tried to close the distance

[@MMAShredded]

Oss!

[@95DOIDO]

that fits like a glove, yesterday I had sparring with some guys that are very experienced compared to me (I'm still a beginner), 2 of them were taller than me, and one was much bigger AND taller, I had a hard time trying to land something on them other than leg kicks, the problem for me is to answer when they attacked, all I could do was shell up, I will try some of these tips next time I sparr, thx Jeff.

[@MMAShredded]

no prob!!!

[@MMAShredded]

good luck!

[@jesusiskingofkingss]

need to work on your mentality bro when i fight i just see red

Hahahahahahahahahaahaha that pause after the leg kick 🎉

[@MMAShredded]

hahaha

[@ZeroFucksLeft]

I could have missed it, but have you tried utilizing/ integrating Bas Ruttens forearm strike/ hook-palms ? The way Rutten uses the forearm strike is to cut through a tight guard, compares its power to that of a round house and while I do not recall I'm fairly certain he's ko'd some people in his career wit that shot. The palm he lands behind the ear the same way you might a left hook, though he claims the knockdown percentage is higher utilizing the palm. Preserves the knuckles too.

[@MMAShredded]

I have not tried!!

[@rudro5784]

When Will the spar with chris heria come? I am damn excited for that,my workout started with him

[@mrflame2497]

Jeff's been listening to rage music lately, and somebody at his gym got him angry today

I’m guessing that pesky left overhand is due to the blocked visibility from your long guard?

[@MMAShredded]

nah he is just good at throwing it

[@Mr440c]

They say that the most lasting damage MMA fighters recieve is not from competitions but from miriads of sparring sessions. Keep your head safe Jeff. This guy might have been a bit too heavy to spar with.

Great video. Also, Tom Aspinall has way better hands/boxing than Jon Jones. He'd stop the wrestling and TKO/KO Jones on the feet. Jon knows it and that's why he doesn't want the fight.

[@EndzMMA]

Jeff how the FUCK have you not got another fight from One yet? You are TOO GOOD to not be fighting, whats your walking weight just curious? I assume around 155-160 I dunno how tall you are I do flying teeps flying knees is next on the weapon but remember if they’re against the cage or ropes they can’t use distance lol

[@MMAShredded]

I walk around 155 currently. I havnt fought because I have been stuck in negotiations and they just dont pay well

[@EndzMMA]

I heard they pay well but a lot of things are smoke and mirrors, personally I am not fighting for money but I'd fight in Japan or Russia I don't want ANY rules (eyes, stamps& bites I understand but I NEED soccer kicks PRIDE rules@@MMAShredded
