Erik Paulson's CSW Striking

"These are focus mitt drills we do for striking for mma. The older I've gotten, I've had a lot of injuries on my ankles and my feet, so I'll do a little bit less kicking. For conditioning I'll kick the pads, but for fighting I work a lot more boxing now and a lot more wrestling and submission. These are some of the drills that I do for fighting. Also, I have my fighters work this material. These are the drills that they do to sharpen their hands and feet." - Erik Paulson. Available Online: erikpaulson.com

I never get tire of q achín this vídeos this guy to me is like the God of martial arts

[@chrisgbeats]

[@warehousetroll]

4:05 is one of those things where you see a snapshot of someone on a video that looks like a glance into their character, not only is he a badass, but he looks like he's probably a really funny guy to be around

[@chrismize2738]

warehousetroll he is😊

[@richardbarton6146]

Erik Paulson is amazing!!! He has so much knowledge. These guys wont be around forever. We must appreciate Him. Brock lessner should not lose to anybody!! He should have annihalated Cain Valasquez! Too much pride!! or not listening. Bottom line is He Dissapoints us.. I have seen fighters argue with Sensei Paulson, Total disrespect. He knows more than we do!!

[@jacobwingo5916]

He sometimes sends his students to Kings Mma too train Muay Thai under Master Rafael Cordeiro

[@bblack2015ab]

Professor at work! EP is my hero÷

[@rico925]

@sgtmac46 KJ's right. He boxed at a high level he was an Olympic alternate or something to that effect before joining the Marine Corp.

[@sgtmac46]

Who is the big black guy, 'Marvin'? He's got some quick hands and some smooth footwork. A nice evasive style of moving. Anyone know who he is?

[@schaelakhan]

Everyone know what JKD stands for. The main point of the comment being that It is the Philosophical edge to the Bruce Lee's style. Hence the term JUN FAN JEET KUNE DO and JUN FAN GUNG FU. Taky Kimura was the highest ranked student But then you have Dan Inosanto who is the only person authorized to teach Jeet kune do. So as explaned by Ron Balicki is the difference between Jkd and Jun Fan martial arts.

[@rye-bread5236]

2:40 that was beautiful mitt work

[@schaelakhan]

I apologize for the blog battle. It was silly, I like the video. For years I was confused by the use of terms JKD this, JUN FAN that. Even after practiceing the system no one ever explained the difference Until Ron Balicki broke it down to it's simplist undrstanding. Jkd is the Philosophy and Jun Fan is the actual curriculum. Jkd is were the individual finds what works for them. So Eriks Jkd was the term I used and this caused this silly argument.

@sgtmac46 Marvin Cook, I think, CSW's Boxing coach, has his own Boxing gym in Orange County (I think), used to Box professionally but I don't know to what level or if he has any championships.

[@Krwler]

He was the perfect coach for someone like Lesnar. When I watched Lesnar fight I always wondered what the hell he was doing in training considering he was with Paulson

[@Tarc5150]

@brucew22 On a side note I see your son has really become an incredible martial artist. Congratulations! He must be very lucky to grow up with a father like yourself, you must be very proud.

[@KJGould]

@Dungarth Paulson can only be at Lesnar's camp for a couple of weeks at a time. Then its up to head coach Marty Morgan to make sure Lesnar is training MMA, not just wrestling. Lesnar should really bring back Greg Nelson too, Nelson could really tighten up Lesnar's clinch game as well as Thai striking and striking to set up takedowns better.

[@ananseqweku6072]

how can i meet marvin

[@Tarc5150]

@brucew22 My apologies for butting in but Bruce you are one best and most well known JKD teacher and students around. I realize Erik doesn't necessarily consider his school a JKD school, but isn't he doing true JKD concepts. Whether it's a mix of all those arts and you call out it's still JKD concepts, correct? Isn't that what Dan Inosanto taught you both? Most consider JKD to be the original MMA. Take the best of every art and what works for you. That is the essence of JKD!

[@trepidation11]

@TheKruRosu If you watch his fight vids he does know how to kick, for whatever reason on this vid he didnt really try.

[@schaelakhan]

YOU are obviously the end all be all. Thanks for the intellectual enlightenment. Satisfied withen walls of your dissolutionment, lol.

[@spartanlukas]

Brock, like anyone his age, could in theory really focus on striking. He should train in Thailand for at least a year on a diet and getting leaner and learning Muay Thai in that tough environment. Then he should also train in BJJ for another year and up to 5 to get a black belt in BJJ gi and no gi. He should also get with real wrestling champion and get back to wrestling basics. He really has a weak wrestling game, he stands around too much and doesn't move...very big and slow.

[@schaelakhan]

There are other terms as well JUN FAN KICKBOXING, JUN FAN GRAPPLING.

[@TheKruRosu]

@TheKruRosu by the way i look the video again and belive me its very bad eric paulson must be very good grapler,but about kick... i dont mean to desrespect best regards

[@schaelakhan]

JKD is not a style it is a philosophy. Jun Fan is the style so it's not Jun Fan. It is Erik's Jeet Kune Do utilizing boxing, Thai boxing and savate.

[@TheKruRosu]

The way the student with the shorts black and yellow kick makes injury hapen,any way keep on training is better to do it like this than not doing...

[@mickymcfarts5792]

marvin who?

[@rhino2838]

Marvin Cook

[@brozac1011]

5:03 it's the worm

[@TheKruRosu]

@brucew22 right now i am in thailand and its my 9 time the kick is one of my especitys,and like everything theres a good form and a bad one if you are on hurry dont make a video,make videos of good form not bad one best regards

[@TheKruRosu]

the double kick is very bad the hip is not inside,is like doing a punch without moving the sholder must learn MUAY THAI for proper tecnique any way best regards

[@trepidation11]

good form is important but whatever the form, a good kick is one that lands, if one of those were to land they would still do damage because they seem to have speed and sting, that kru guy just has his head way too far up his ass. haha

[@schaelakhan]

You can read thats good, but it's obvious you don't practice it so I won't waist anymore of my time on you. My comment is correct.
