Use a String to Fix Elbow Pain when Punching

[@theacupuncturist4683]

Day 24 of quarantine: Shane starts to punch against a thread.

"Send it! Don't bend it!" Words to live and fight by

[@omegaepsilon7924]

Thats what she said.👀

[@peterriehl2558]

To anyone who it may concern, please follow this advice! I started shadowboxing and hitting a bag when I was about 12, and I didn't know how to punch correctly. As a result, after 2 years on and off punching wrong, about 80% of the cartilage in my right elbow has disintegrated from hyperextension and high stress. I had been pulling punches and bending my arm out. Learn how to punch correctly, and follow this advice. I learned how to punch from videos by Shane and by Michael Jai White. Get basic form down, and turn it into instinct. I am currently 16, and am living with pain in my elbow almost every day. I have lost about 5 degrees of range of motion in my right arm. You don't want this to happen to you. Trust me. Any time my friends wonder how I learned how to punch and kick and things like that, I tell them about this channel. Thank you fightTIPS and thank you Shane for this video.

[@Lonesniper41]

I’m concerned too cuz I’m teaching myself without any real life instructor

[@JPili1]

Thanks for the heads up about the cartilage thing... I thought it was purely a muscle issue whenever it hurts. I'm gonna be way more careful now when it comes to punching with elbow pain.

[@Prunesquallor1435]

Thank you. I'm sorry about your misfortune. Try massaging the elbows with castor oil every day. It helps with my knee pain. I'm going to take it extremely easy on the shadow-boxing.

[@RGMARTIALARTS]

Wow that’s exactly what I needed mate. Cheers! Stay safe and healthy.

[@ConveyMultiMedia]

Thanks Shane perfect timing. I'm having this exact problem. My elbow's been hurting for a few months now

[@fighttips]

Hope this helps, Michael!

[@dustinjones5146]

I was literally searching for a video on this topic today before you posted.

[@fighttips]

I know... 👀

[@dropkickcorpse]

2:08, Thanks for the explanation 👍. For anyone else out there, I once hurt my elbow tendon pretty bad in whiffing a jab. After icing my elbow and resting it for a couple of weeks, I found that I was turning my fist over too late during the jab. I started turning my shoulder into it a little more to take some of the stress off the elbow and it's been helping because I don't feel that tender burning sensation in my elbow anymore 👌.

[@SamuelSeah]

Came back to this video for the fourth time lol, i keep think i have golfer/tennis elbow on my left arm but i think i finally find out that its actually tricep tendinitis, it does not rlly hurt but when i do pushups or when im punching, my elbow feels weird and i dun even chop my punches lol but shits hella annoying

[@SamuelSeah]

Its not painful, and it wont affect my daily life but i have been ignoring and continuing with my boxing and work outs, i think i should start to let it heal b4 it gets serious

[@Ortiz_julian13]

I wanna say thanks for this bro I just got done working out and panicked thinking I got a bad injury and found out I was turning my fist little to late as well thanks 😁🙏✝️❤️

[@humorlesscomedy7657]

Thank you my coach says I was “hyperextending” my jab and didn’t want to help me correct it so this is really helpful thank you

[@adraticofficial]

I was wondering why I had elbow pain while punching a bag I’m sure it was cause of this it feels so much more natural and better!!!

[@jhonso1326]

And I thought I was the only one has that hurting my arm

[@time2stack41]

Bro I’m proud of you Shane i remember your page when you was just teaching people about street fight outside at the playground now to see the gym the logo the 2 million subscribers u have you really built ur brand i love it

[@waltermcnicoll4968]

Chaos and Pain?

[@TongueTicklers]

Ah! I have this exact condition and I didn’t realise why or how to fix it. Thanks for the enlightening video, and that idea of a string on the ceiling is superb.

[@ОлегБеспальченко-ц5е]

I myself am a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach and therefore I consider as a specialist that you do a cool job, respect

[@redilet5246]

The "punch along the pole" thing is a life saver, my punches were far from accurate and after only a few minutes of punching my elbows would hurt bad, the pipe thing forced control and man that control helps a *ton*

[@anthonyferrell1798]

How the f*** did you know a noob like me was having these issues

[@fighttips]

I was a noob once, too! I've also worked with lots of beginners for years. Stick with it! 👍

[@derekmellino8316]

Thank you Shane! Send it , dont bend it is an absolutely brilliant statement.

[@arashkazerooni7217]

Omg shane you fix all of my problems in quarantine!🤦‍♂️god bless ya man

[@bleedthesecolours]

Really ingenious method to use a string! Kinda similar logic to how the human eye is only able to move smoothly from one side to the other when tracking a moving target - sometimes you need something tangible as a reference point.

[@aussiecowboah8825]

1:04 that’s actually really inspirational

[@Landoft]

I feel like I haven't commented on one of your videos in forever but I'm still watching. Keep doing your thing man and stay safe during this pandemic brother!

[@fighttips]

Same to you, Orlando! Thanks for checking in 🙏

[@woowaakim2070]

I'm a novice, and I have elbow pain. This video is very very helpful. Thank you!! -From S.Korea-

[@breadjesus8289]

Ohhhh my I finally know why I get that pain thanks man

[@RGMARTIALARTS]

My coach used to do this with papers to build speed.

[@s.oddity3640]

Ooo elaborate please, i enjoy diy gyms

[@RGMARTIALARTS]

S. Oddity Ah.. well essentially you hang a rope across the room or space, then you tie a thin string coming from top downwards and ending at your head height. Next you punch a hole in a paper and tie that string into the paper so it’s hanging at head height. We do a lot of high kicks using this method to improve speed and try and kick the paper before the wind of our kick pushes it away. Furthermore the ultimate challenge is to punch through the paper!!

[@CombatSportsNerd]

0_o damn there are some interesting ways to build up speed

[@RGMARTIALARTS]

The Otaku Dragon Slayer indeed mate.

[@RafsGunCollection]

Karate kid type shit :)

[@RoemDaug]

I've been looking for the answer to this problem for years!

[@MIYAMAGISEKO]

I have so much elbow pain 😭😭

[@adamzoubi96]

My advice would be turning the fist before full extinction, meaning you start with your thumb facing the ceiling and right before impact or full extinction you turn your fist where your thumb is facing the wall. So you start with a horizontal fist and end with a parallel fist, I hope I made it clear.

[@fighttips]

The "corkscrew" motion definitely helps recruit the forearm muscles -- great point, Adam!

[@ihavethepower7400]

You can also put a tennis ball on the end to add some weight so it comeback at you

[@taajud-deenpennekin3922]

Sparring and missed that right hand, now my elbow troubles me every time I'm in the gym.

[@randzy4190]

You life saver Shane was having this problem earlier today💯💯

[@paulv7744]

Always loved and appreciate your videos dude. No ego, Only passion. 👍

[@goldenbuu9428]

Best combat KZbinr EVER

[@SunGxdRa]

Years ago I saw a video of Mike Tyson shadow boxing with a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling. I've been doing that at home + double end ball for years. Im still waiting on your double end bag to go on sale to complete the setup!

[@thestealthplatypus5861]

This made everything about shadowboxing 10x more fun

[@KdnfollowsChrist]

I’ve done MMA for I think a little over 3 years now and I don’t think I’ve experienced elbow pain even after I took almost a year off. Now I come back after taking 5 months off and shadow box and have no elbow pain, I shadow box again and do and then I do it again and have elbow pain again. Kind of discouraging considering the fact I’ve been doing this for awhile and haven’t felt this, I realized I’m chopping sometimes when I jab and over extending with my right hand, I guess after a while off you develop some bad habits, I think after I shake this rust off and focus on technique for a couple days I’ll be back like nothing. Thanks for the video Shane. 💙

[@alanlake9762]

This video and these tips solves a lot of my problems. Thank you very much shain❤🥊

[@injunsniper]

usually i get elbowed, punched, then im in pain

[@jebushwplainview9453]

Shane is my spirit animal.

[@wolltoffel4815]

What about hooks? My elbows always hurt when I throw hooks and have weights in my hands

[@yli5835]

very helpful. i hurt my elbow once. then I always subconsciously bend my arms when throwing punches and lose the distance.

[@halfassedplay]

@2:31 the moment of truth!

[@charliedemosmusic]

Awesome video!! Very helpful! Can you do a video for elbow pain from Hyper extension? Any tips Or exercises etc.

[@SamuelSeah]

This is literally the video??

[@zachanderson639]

i just hyperextended my arm thanks for the video

[@saschatodorovic5264]

Thanks for those nice boxing tips bro 👍🏻🔥

[@jimgeorgiev8105]

Fight tips getting tips from someone that listened to fight tips tips. 😀 I going to try this. My elbow is messed up. I cant straighten my right arm for months now. I'm constantly stretching it straight. When I wake up in the morning its swollen same with my hand and forearm. Sucks!

[@kyozoku1]

Yeah it's weird I only get it in my left elbow. Thanks for the advice.

[@mdlol69]

awesome tips shane!

[@ZoneGMZ]

Nice bro ur the man

[@This2shallpassluv]

This is the first video I found and ask I have to say is thank you

[@jimgeorgiev8105]

hey shane i have been using the string hanging for a few weeks now. i learned something very interesting using it. u can actually prefect your jab and straight punches and hooks. like learn how to get max power without using all your might and calking back/ telegraphing the punch. the string tells a story when u hit it!!!! very interesting!!!!! i can show u a demonstration if you would like! thanks for all the videos !!!!! :)

[@teimuriranpour9749]

Thanks for all the content

[@suhailmondair1854]

my coach said its because I'm unfit😂 thanks bro really good advice

[@frankstidham1439]

I was born in Philadelphia Thanks Corey & Shane.

[@walterlytasz4034]

Looked for this topic months ago with nothing good online. Great rhyme lol

[@gwenstein5517]

Thanks so much!! What a great idea hanging a string. I taped it to the ceiling which gave me a huge area to punch and kick the string during a kickboxing youtube! Thanks! Great instructional video!

[@marylunar832]

Very helpful video Shane !! 💪👊♥️

[@slickjosh29]

That wire is such a genius idea

[@Leonardo0leandro0]

Get a VR headset. Best shadow boxing ever

[@colorado2455]

Do you know about the chopping right? When i throw it feels weird to give it full extension.

[@dmack1209]

Also another thing is to make sure you turn your shoulder into it, usually a twist of the arm does the trick, but just watch that you don't over twist

[@truepotential206]

How do I initiate hip rotation. I find it difficult to do. Especially when kicking

[@700fredo6]

Make an app. I´ll download it.

[@Elder-Uriel]

Modification: buy a kumbucha 20oz from Walmart. Drink/ empty it fill it with water. Tie string around the cap. I personally am using a pull up bar that hooks to my door and put the string and bottle in the center of it. But if you can hook to the ceiling in a open room you could add some avoid getting hit drills

[@mrdestoryher171]

I have a question, and this is off topic but I’d like an answer please. So I stud up against the school bully a year ago, because disrespected me and a few other people. I said to him “all you do is talk you never fight” and he said “ so what’s up ?” And I said “ alright square up then” then he said “ you were that pressed me “ is this a sign of him showing fear ? A weakness ? What is this ? I never heard someone say this to me before. Can someone please explain ?

[@FloSappBoxingChannel]

Thanks for this tip Shane

[@shaun7244]

A couple year ago I was hitting pads and Damaged my wrist, I got a sharp pain every time I threw anything the pain still comes back every now and then. Any advice ?

[@dannyboettger8482]

Another good one Shane. Bruce Lee used paper. I use a tied 2 liter soda bottle with water in it...that way it rebounds quicker, and more realistic. Have to be a little controlled not to hit too hard though

[@ethanhunt1389]

Thanks Shane.. I love your tips Really Authentic. Love from Pakistan

[@jckboys9488]

I was looking for a video like this thank you so much

[@jamesmarshall8408]

Shane how do I analyze fights to increase fight iq

[@NobleVagabond2552]

James Garside watch the footwork, watch how they create angles, watch the combos, rewind and watch a sequence multiple times

[@alexanderbeltran5982]

Awesome bro thank you 🙏🏼

[@SIRXNZ]

No wonder I always had really bad pains in my elbows after a shadow boxing workout

[@emalrazi529]

thanks Shane your my coach 💪

[@aprillambert7914]

I get that you're supposed to keep your arm straight without hyperextending it, but how do you do that without bending your elbow? I hyperextend a lot when I punch (never have any elbow pain or wrist pain), but I keep getting told that my arm is not straight when I throw punches. I feel like if my arm is bent, then I'm not getting full extension. How do I get a straight arm with full extension without hyperextending my elbow?

[@mandsteck8850]

I do this with the ceiling fan cord lol

[@romb1818]

Thankx man, Really Helpful ✨🙏

[@farmanshekh6696]

"Sent it don't bend it" Shane fazen

[@ceilingfansandtabletops.4670]

Could you please make another video on how to wrap your hands with the technique you currently use?

[@snakeeyez8955]

Excellent tip. I usually do the same thing with TRX cables hanging from the monkey bars.

[@Y0utub3me]

might be chopping punches (from elbow down), "send" it instead imagine pipeline starting from fist, throw it straight through without hitting the edges only connecting with target > shoot it straight < (ie use footwork to get in position to shoot it straight) thank you mr. fazen

[@TB-qi1no]

If you have a bouncy ball put that on the end

[@david3767]

On the tip of your nose like a funky clown:)

[@jaskey]

Actually, I wouldn't do that unless I'm going to try to make a double end bag. Usually my punches will send the string flying as it is leaving me after a single punch. Adding weight to the end of the string only sends it out even farther. What I found is that lighter strings don't fly out as much when punched and I can work combinations off of them. Obviously too thin and light would be too hard to see, so it's a balance between thickness and weight.

[@alexbouchard6504]

I like to attach a sheet on the rope so i can put more power in it. I focus to put power inside the thickness of the sheet hooks isn t easy. I have permanent elbow pain (12 yrs) physioterapist teatched me to stretch the ligament under the elbow. Place hand on wall at shoulder height fingers down. Elbow should face down. Arm fully extended, stretch this ligament by getting both shoulders perpendicular to wall with the hand still on the wall. 5 sec 5 times.

[@CARLOSJJAREZ]

Can you do a video on this stretch please?

[@backwoodskarate9300]

Cool video shane. Thanks for the tips. I have a question though. what do you think about flicker jabs?

[@zaxn.6221]

I remember when you taught us to tie our keys on our hand wraps and then practice head movement

[@zaxn.6221]

SHANE WHAAAT ??? THANKS FOR THE PIN !!!

[@zaxn.6221]

@Sundaysad times

[@michellepadilla7254]

Awesome this was my issue a few months ago

[@jawhs01]

Feels like I'm watching a click it or ticket video except just for fighting

[@antoniopolyak5131]

Can you do a breakdown on Muhammad Ali’s footwork ??

[@n8rock1]

This guys brilliant

[@stevesalkas9128]

Helps ...good explanation...

[@fastest1millionsubscriberd534]

Shane pls tell drills to move smoothly in boxing and pls tell how to move in shift or bump Thanks

[@LastKingDbro]

Bro this is smart asf I put up like 4 shoe strings 😂😂💯🙌

[@EJayydontplay]

I’ve never had this problem this is new to me lol but the string is a good idea

[@hollow9116]

How do you do to get rid off joint pain and wrists

[@AnimusPrime87]

So I don’t know if this applies to me quite as much. I started boxing this week, “boxing“. I just bought a pair of gloves and I hit the heavy bag at my gym. My left elbow is really sore, and I’m not entirely sure why.I checked my form and I’m just throwing basic punches but I’m not really sure why my left elbow is as sore as it is.

[@colepeltier8472]

There isn't enough videos on this subject.

[@vinaytewari7963]

Hey shane need a video about peekaboo footwork and headmovements

[@paraskejriwal5901]

hey sir big fan....like the way you teach....would like to learn more from you....where to start.??

[@pandanew8476]

Can you also punch from each hand against a wall and try and fix it ?

[@jackmuaddib3745]

Nice video!

[@phantomguardian51]

i decided to add an empty water bottle with some paper i soaked to add weight to it and im wondering if that would have any effect

[@kevinjohnson9258]

No punching bag, you can use tires as a bag that's what i use
