[@shinobi-no-bueno]

Love this series, I'd LOVE a long format video where you gather a group of guys that represent a wide range of fighting body types

[@rajdbzman]

high volume, speed, head movement, set ups, intention, accuracy (to weak spots), pace control (e.g different pace at different times (e.g rd 1 or 2)), footwork/movement. Most important - take the fight where you're strongest

[@andrewschembri1166]

How to dictate pace as someone with average cardio, and more power in each hit would be an interesting one

[@jeffreyjeffyu]

Thanks so much for this advice/ the examples. I'm a golden gloves champ and I'm still constantly fighting against instincts to fight on the inside and less effectively than I could by boxing more technically with footwork on the outside. Very helpful!

[@CJ-vj7pm]

Thanks for this one, I'm the oldest person in my sparring class, so my strength & quickness is below average, I'll try some of this next week

[@alucard19]

you guys should watch Kash Farooq beautiful body punching and defensive work as a smaller and weaker fighter and still comes out on top

[@Andyofwasa]

A good video. We have 2 upcoming guys who are both lanky and not so strong but skilled. They can KO in fight but with kicks only. Some of your points were quite basic but I have not thought before that TARGETING punches is super important for that kind of fighters. Thank you!

[@avancalledrupert5130]

I love these segments. Nobody else emphasizes enough how your body dictates your style. Be realistic what do you have what do you not have . Me I have power reach and speed in abundance. But I have poor balance, poor flexibility and low stamina. My style is driven by those strengths and weaknesses. I can't be a volume pressure fighter . I wouldn't make one round. I can't be kicking to the head I don't have the balance and flexibility. No I have to plod and turn my crazy speed on for just a second and go back to plodding. I cant rush I must stay calm. I only need one straight right or lead hook and there broken. So I must go about landing that as safely as possible without being kicked to bits . If they get in close I don't exchange I clinch and chuck them on the ground with my power. You must fight to your body type. Gabrielle is the best MMA you tuber .

[@MrTooEarnestOnline]

Despite my physical stature I actually spat as if I have less power than my opponent so this video helps

[@deven1310]

love this series, you can be any of these body types depending on who you’re fighting.

[@thehighcommunity247]

@@mark12345697 I train everyday, well I take Sunday off from everything. I go to a regular gym to maintain fitness 3 days a week. The other three days, I train striking and grappling. I am almost 3 years clean from opiates and many other narcotics. So, it was ridiculously difficult to overcome the depression and flatness. I struggle with depression every day. But to get from where I was to where I am today, any lesser man would have relapsed or given up. I am not cocky by any means, but what I won't do is be disrespected by somebody. You even saying that me speaking passionately about something is "disrespectful" to others who share same passion is actually the only disrespectful thing that was said. I see where you might have been coming from... i hate when people do that shit when they dont live it at all. I'm new to the sport. I don't act like I am the shit on here by any means, but I also don't waive around a damn camera every time I hit pads or shadowbox. I don't feel the need to show people what I have been doing lately. Don't always judge a human by a shitty KZbin page my man. 💪😁✌️

So when you see so many of them, you begin to think that just about everybody is fakin' the funk. I appreciate that man. Yeah, I don't even work a job anymore. I just do my own meal prep, eat and drink very clean, and stay consistent with learning and applying new concepts of combat each week. My one bad habit is that I still smoke a little bud since I have my medical card. Its a very miniscule amount though. No more cigs obviously, or I would have absolute shit cardio. 😁 I'll definitely upload some footage on my channel, all in due time. Southpaw. Quicc and Heavy Hands. That's the best attribute that I have thus far is boxing fundamentals. ✌️

Very nice advice for my skinny ass

[@xaviersfinance2664]

Thanks! I'm trying to get into kickboxing matches for now and I'm only 14, what promotion should I go to for kickboxing matches?

[@animadverte]

I suggested short and lean before, but I should note that in a competitive environment with weight classes it is hardly possible to be short and lean. If you are, you are actually in the lighter class, where you are either taller or bigger than most of your opponents. So "short and lean" is only possible in a street fight situation. In that case, that is just a disadvantage that can hardly be fixed. however, no martial art can fix real street fights, that usually involve more opponents, possibly knives and guns, and aggression. The exceptions are the kind of "civilized fights" that you can have by arguing with someone in a club in a developed country or with an occasional chad in a parking lot. In those cases, martial arts and being big and strong help a little. However, 6 months of any serious combat sport is enough. And in both cases, you can just avoid problems most of the times. (moreover, spending hours to train for a chad in a parking lot you will probably never meet is paranoia.) Note also that there are countries where you would have serious legal problems afterwards, or where this treat is basically unreal (if you live in Japan, that will never happen). and there are countries where this would escalate quickly involving more people and/or guns (engage a fight in a club in Mexico or in a slavic country, rather than Japan). One might want to sound tough by being ready to club fights, but it is just act that you can play because you are in quite safe club in a civilized country, where no one shots you half an hour later. The conclusion is that for real life situations, very basic knowledge is enough, for the little difference it can make. real situations are either too dangerous to make martial arts relevant or so unlikely and exceptional that make more than 6 months of training pointless. So, should not one train more than 6 months/2 years? No. but we should stop be obsessed with street fights. We train for our primordial need to feel strong. but the real fights we have in mind are ideal fights that are extremely unlikely, not real situations fights. so be happy with sports. otherwise enter a cartel and experience real life aggressions, and see how martial arts, being stronger or whatever helps.
