[@PaMuShin]

usually you have just a limited number of fights what your body can handle under normal conditions, you have a lot of fighter with neurological damage like lose their memory, lose their ability to concentrate, and becoming emotionally unstable. If you go for biography of bruce lee and jackie chan you gonna read stuff like that they had a lot of times bursts of uncontrolled anger etc. plus the damage done unto your joints. Elbows, shoulders, knee and back do not come back 100% for most fighters, that is one of the reasons you have such a high emphasis on medicine in kung fu to lessen the damage.

[@bernarddato3221]

Great simple and relevant concept, great sparrings, great level, great videos. 🙌 🫸🤛

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!

[@hagenanon9484]

Great Material as usual! Though i have to wonder... after you did the self defense championship...dont you sometimes look at some of your techniques and think to yourself: i would never do this in a self defense scenario? Some moves seem very risky.

[@MMAShredded]

haha for sure

[@GutsToCuts]

Haven't fully watched the video yet, but wanted to comment on the "just stand up" part. I will say that sometimes that is possible and a decent strategy if you can do it and are better on your feet. That being said, being able to standup in and of itself is a skill. A decent wrestler could stand up.

[@manjitheerratic5127]

A possible evolution for recent MMA Grappling ( not only BJJ ) is trapping your opponent limbs while defending striking techniques and initiating submissions from standing position ( as much as I know, five most common UFC submission techniques can be used while standing )

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!

In all honesty there is lots of demand for a video series on getting up from ground in MMA as well as cagework for avoiding tkdowns/getting to your feet. I know you would sell a lot of videos.. and I'd be first in line. In another question.. how much of this material would you dwell on in your Vietnam retreat?

in closed guard, you would have to wait till they step on leg up, then transition into K guard! and noted, ill work on some cage wrestling content!

Hey Jeff, when you post to defend the takedown, are you not concerned with hyperextension or breaking the posting arm as you fall?

post on a bent arm and you should be fine!

[@mikefrisinger5866]

When I got my blue belt a few years ago I went to the fight team at my gym since I had done some striking and a lot of my Jiu-Jitsu was not very effective and I was not very good at wrestling up or getting back to my feet and I got punched but in learning that it actually helped my Jiu-Jitsu because it changed my perspective. Also Jiu-Jitsu is much harder when someone's trying to punch you in the face

[@MMAShredded]

Cheers!

[@TheReaperOfChess]

Hey Jeff, I was at Triumph when you came to indy I wanted to ask you at around 8:11 or so, Would a butterfly sweep have been a good alternative since he is holding so tight you have his base under your legs an easy lift and turn would work? or am i crazy? Edit: i seen when playing back you entered that scene trying the sweep thats my bad i didnt see.

[@MMAShredded]

yesss I did try to sweep but when they stay balanced I get up :)

Good job, Jeff ! 😊 Yes, BJJ is now so very popular, everybody knows what it's all about, so it's not so unorthodox and surprising as it use to be 20 or 30 years ago... Also nowadays striking is on whole 'nother level... 😊

[@MMAShredded]

cheers :)

[@JohhnyDepp7197]

Don't forget , there are many so called " street fighters " that are completely ignorant of this style , so it's still worth adding to your arsenal, the only other thing I'd recommend is Boxing or Muay Thai

[@Shack]

12:17 How do you go about sparring with striking vs someone going for takedowns? There were a few moments when you clearly held your kick back and slowed it down to not hurt them, and they took the kick (to the ribs) and rushed in for the takedown. It's kind of annoying because if you went all out on that kick, they would likely think twice before trying to eat a rib kick just to grab your leg. I always wanted to practice more of my strike defense, but it's hard when my opponent doesn't really respect any of my kicks because im trying to not hurt them lol

[@MMAShredded]

at the end of the day it is just sparring and practice! What you said is true, but what can also happen is that the guy taking the kick is tough as nails, or rather take a kick to the ribs in-exchange to get the takedown. Anything can happen in a MMA fight, thats why the sport is so crazy!!

[@Shack]

@@MMAShredded Yeah def, plenty of people can keep walking after taking some devastating blows haha. I always wondered if there's a better way to go about sparring, to test the effectiveness of your strikes and to not build false confidence in yourself if your opponent is also always pulling their kicks/knees as well. But I guess like you said, it's just sparring, not actual combat

[@SuperBlake89]

[@MMAShredded]

noted!

[@andrewkong3154]

Most styles can work, aside feom the ovvious bullshido/self defense stuff that never gets stress tested through routine sparring and competition. Depends on how proficient the practitioner is, how good their teammates amd coaches are, and what their favored system is built around. Sambo, judo, wrestling (both catch and reg), bjj, boxing, muay thai, karate, TKD before it turned into gymnastics and point sparring, kickboxing, all can work really well and used to complete other each other. Non-combat sport/martial art related activities or background can help too. Look at Lomachenko. Utilized dancing and gymanatics. I caught a high round house from somebody who I was hand fighting with and they extended to long guard from the clinch. Never had to consider that until the athlete said they used to do ballet before doing muay thai. My lead arm was glued to the back of my head and air tight (ear hole covered and literally face in arm pit with rear hand ready for body and turned into the kick) but it still cleared my guard and the base of the shin hit the top/side of my head. I didn't think it was possible to generate that kind of force from essentially a standing split position on the very tip of the toes. Also, if you've ever grappled with a professional breadmaker or rock climber. Them paws are vice grips.

[@dannyy8619]

Just curious but during MMA sparring, are you ever looking for sweeps from butterfly? Or is your first option to stand?

[@MMAShredded]

depends how comfortable I am and who I am against!

[@dx5soundlabs939]

that's nature...works way better when you're the only one who understands it...also, i'd love to hear your thoughts on a trend i've seen over the years...a lot of the mma community came in disregarding tradional ma as useless and outdated...i've always said the traditional stuff is extremely effective IF you train to fight with it, and that's the issue with most tma schools...however, i feel the more mma advances and evolves the more it starts to resemble tma techniques...oblique kicks, spinning kicks, spinning elbows, hook kicks, trapping, karate-style punching, arial kicks, etc., all techniques that used to be scoffed at but now everyone accepts them as legit (tho trapping i feel is still in the early stages of acceptance in the mma community)...i feel like we're going to come full circle and see that the old ways were 100% legit, we just lost the practical applications training and had to rediscover it...
