[@Sunshine-.-.]

Proud of you Shane finally after all the hustle you’re making moves and collaborating with big names, you deserve it my man

[@dvsavocs5290]

they did a video together a couple of years ago too!

[@_syraski]

He Been Makin Moves Like Jabs Hooks Etc

[@Tazmanian_mma]

Sunshine absolutely does deserve it!

[@EnFyr]

Spoken like a true gentleman.

[@mikeyankee8603]

Get off his nut

[@injunsniper]

my main defence against the jab is my forehead to fist strike..

[@injunsniper]

tie oneon sometimes i counter with my move “curl into ball”

[@Stazaro2]

injun sniper you might be joking but you can actually break a guys hand if done correctly in bare knuckle fight

[@harageilucid4352]

You can also get yourself ktfo lol. Dont deliberately absorb punches with your head 😂

[@Stazaro2]

Haragei Lucid yes its best to net get hit but as last resort its better to use the forehead. head butt the punch. Its takes makes the punch have less energy. Also most people when they punch they clench there fist on the impact. But if you shorten the distance faster then they anticipated it can injury there hand

[@feryswag]

that's one way to get brain damage bud

[@Chaos278]

No one: Auto-caption: "hey guys Shane here back with coach Rasta Hobby"

[@meowmeowone8479]

Rasta Hobby is a cool name tho, haha!

[@JukemDrawles87]

I love this process of learning, school never worked for me but this is something my brain can process and enjoy. Thank you

[@joneh9483]

Ok

[@tony748159]

I don't get what school has to do with it but good for you man

[@GabboTheGreat]

Felt that bro

[@clavicusvile1328]

I wish you good luck just because you use the Guts pic lol

[@MrFrostyDwarf]

i feel this

[@wildexperiense]

Whenever someone demonstrate a direct hit Shane always pretends like he gets KO'd, can we add an edit to that reaction?

[@marionpaige8949]

This collab is the stuff of legend. How do you leave multiple likes??

[@peterpetar1793]

King

[@omerkhalid4031]

Thanks my grandma didn’t stand a chance

[@paulwilliams2024]

Omer Khalid lmao 🤣

[@spencestep1998]

The thought of a grandma with a good jab

[@xBeeGee]

Plz do a video on how to make your hands feel lighter and have increased hand speed. When I shadow box my hands feel slow so I would appreciate that

[@blackout.X]

Keep throwing, use weights because that'll make you faster, throw coins in the air and try to catch them

[@blackout.X]

Like, hold 2 or 5 pound weights in your hands while you train punches

[@unddozahaz]

Try and do some isolation workouts for the shoulders would be my guess

[@oscarsolis9636]

When you shadow box I recommend you to train with 5 or 10 pound weights

[@jonathanturcios5446]

Don’t use weights they can cause bad habits to drop hands and bad form, you should train in heavy gloves, and hit the bag with them, and shadowbox with them, 16oz and up should be a good start

[@bobcat4519]

You got Firas Zahabi, the Warrior-Scholar! Congrats man!

[@brandonbowman5915]

The last one is no joke. Years ago I was training for a tournament and got my left shoulder dislocated because of that. We were going hard sparring I threw a left jab at the same time he was coming in with an overhand right. We both parried to the right so my left arm was straight over his shoulder while he was swinging. CRACK!!! Lesson learned.

[@Penjejak_Rimba]

I love to see how Shane respects Firas both as a guest and as a coach, he doesn't go challenging him with the "What if this and what if that", instead he learns and tries to understand so he can apply it. I guess that mindset and manner is pretty rare nowadays when people already reached a certain "level" in martial arts. Respect 💪🏻

[@bilal_waheed]

firas' a legend

[@AdnanKhan-jn8dz]

Keep them coming I can watch countless numbers of coaches videos really informative

[@thesilvershota3091]

Just use your face lmao

[@nardoumizaki3086]

Who do you think you are antonio margirito

[@notkingali1798]

Tlyer2 *Fousey Tube has entered the ring*

[@prometheus8128]

@@notkingali1798 😂

[@melchaios]

worked wonders for rocky balboa, master of the face parry

[@Dru1D_]

Headbutting into your opponents glove while he's throwing a jab is the best defence wdym

[@Sliwowsky]

this second one is what I was looking for. I'm training Krav Maga for 3 months now, we are spar with each other at the end of practice, for now we just boxing and this move is what i needed. Thanks dude.

[@pedroelautor514]

Can’t thank you guys enough! Real talk bless you guys for your input! Merry XMAS everybody! I’m gonna go wrap my hands so I can have something to unwrap for Christmas lol

[@Tazmanian_mma]

I like that second one! I was doing it wrong this whole time. Just widen my stance! Thanks Shane and firas!

[@rockerboyka94]

That 2nd move was how zombie countered moicano's jab beautifully to throw that overhand right

[@DaSansei]

Love Firas!

[@warrendoris9669]

You always come in with practical workable advice and technique brother! Well done once AGAIN! Your spar mate is on point too. Like the way left kick came out of no where!😀😀👍

[@nicolasfarah2092]

If i had to choose one mma coach to train me i would choose no one but Firas. 🇱🇧

[@Teslaowneruk1]

Having coach firas on fight tips is huge

[@dimejishittu736]

Please do a video how to make your punches tighter and cleaner

[@boblob3509]

Wash your hands

[@dimejishittu736]

@Alex c thanks for the advice man much appreciated honestly

[@MediaEdits2701]

Elbows in and alot of practice

[@ClipsFromMaine]

Firas is always worth watching and listening too, it’s cool you had him on!

[@plutonium120]

coach firas is always impressive with the way he thinks, speaks, and teaches. thanks for the solid content.

[@commentconnoisseur1001]

He's only gone and got the best coach on KZbin on his channel

[@samnyenhuis4577]

Just got in my new Fighttips gear!!!!! Super psyched!!!!!

[@thesilencer4638]

I see Firas... I fckn listen!!

[@abhijiththampi]

These videos are pure gold

[@lumblysumbly]

Awesome job, Shane. It's also great to see Firas hanging with guys like you and Jeff.

[@mike1414]

Best jab defense vidro ive seen. Because it was explained so well. Not anything fancy. Nice and simple

[@sachinpathy6940]

So good of Shane to use his platform to promote smaller coaches and fighters

[@Exlecticution]

Dip, sway, duck, counter, block, shave, parry, side step, and back step. Many options in boxing to execute and counter!

[@Freddietse]

wow the second drill is actually very useful Didn’t realise slipping and widen the stance help so much

[@SodaPopCurtis808]

I went to a seminar with karate champ Joe Lewis a looooooong time ago, and he recommended the same type of parry. I’ve used it ever since to parry jabs and some straights, even from big Samoan dudes so I can honestly say that it works well.

[@cbooc]

Nice nice nice... Thanks Shane and Firas

[@user-yi4zd6gh5h]

Shane you are focking awesome) great to see Firas in you videos again!

[@chevycamaroflame]

Coach Zahabi's slip/stance opening was very quick

[@bigbudugary1285]

THE OG 🔥

[@anujjyothykumar4667]

This guy is an extraordinarily good coach

[@TheBatosai]

Great holiday gift. I love Firas work. I mite go up to Canada to train with him for a few weeks at a time. I'm already in NYC.

[@Caz91]

A little note from my boxing xp to the first tip. If you open your hands a bit, when the Jab comes, you Can push the Jab Down and inwards towards the opponents other hand, that Way they cant counter with the other hand, and their side is exposed for a good counter offensive. Dont use often tho Lol, good for when you/they are tired and get to work the body

[@fabian13333]

Thank you coach

[@RichardSage]

You and Firas are the best!

[@steveholland6982]

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from New Zealand.

[@Tousanx]

[@K9boxing]

[@jhonnyrodriguezolguin3760]

[@williamdavis7629]

Very useful tips. Thank you both for your time.

[@muss2055]

i would kill to have firas as my coach. this guy can make anyone a fighter, and if you have talent, than he will make you an elite fighter. i have to work the next years to get some money, but i will definitly fly to montreal.

[@brocwestmeyer5935]

Awesome! Really been stepping up the guest game.

[@elchappo1320]

I wish i had time to train. So much to learn

[@trip4192]

[@XENHEAD]

Good work guys

[@Vuavhooo]

[@danamo7]

Merry Christmas to all the Underdogs! Thanks for the gift of defending the jab :)

[@R2Rj204]

Cora’s always has some great insights

[@sethpino2963]

Good work Shane

[@redkingoldhero38]

1st. should've shown how to counter with a 2 after the parry. 2nd shouldve been after the slip show how to come over the shoulder with a 2 from that spring stance. 3rd shouldve been an inside slip and up-jab counter

[@Agiranto]

Holly hell the second o0ne is kinda eye-opener Always had problems with that slippish move.

[@JoeDG75]

Merry Christmas! Also, something completely unrelated but I need to tell you: some time ago I was watching the TV series "Under the Dome", and... Dude, you ARE the main character... You should call the actor (Mike Vogel) and work with him! :D

[@spooky0.068]

I train under firas' brother, just bjj but damn hes the best coach I've ever had. When I'm done with the navy I'm going to move to Montreal and train at tristar

[@gayurufernando333]

This is AWESOME 👌🏽💯

[@EcheChanga]

These are amazing

[@berkeozcelik7817]

does anyone know what oz gloves they are wearing and what oz is most suitable for a punching bag?

[@danyalkhandakar6564]

I think those are Shane’s 12 oz gloves that he sells.12-16 oz is most suitable for heavy bags, 16 oz being the most common

[@malikashurov1139]

D K I think the ones he’s using are 16oz. Fir bag gloves, what matters most is the strength of the glove material. Sparring gloves are much softer

[@kadenboxing6842]

You mean heavy bag or double end bag?

[@tripleo7109]

Can you make a video on how to deal with pressure boxers?

[@daniyalahmed687]

Flying knee...

[@al8905]

Genius

[@Jack-mu4cq]

Best coach in the game

[@ericaenglish9855]

I love practicing this

[@shahrukhhafeez5671]

Best self defense tactics.......

[@elfiemontague3936]

Good stuff

[@EnFyr]

Lucky SOB training with Zahabi.

[@domiboy69]

hey shane im a 21 year old amateur boxer and have no knowledge of ground game or kicks.was thinking of maybe going to mma so just wanted to get your opinion on my chances of actually succeeding in it.

[@anonymous-zp5mh]

Been a fan for 3 years, hope you can do collab with mmashredded😊

[@nyishiboyztsratum90]

Brother plz make a how to fight with short guy in boxing

[@antoniobridgeforth2362]

Good Stuff

[@haythemsouayah6933]

Shane 1:19 that ahhhhhh is so Epic hahaha

[@ajshiro3957]

The drop and parry reminds me of a karate technique

[@schoolboylore9794]

A legend

[@tinadarealmilliondollarbaby]

Defend my jab lol. Thanks for this.

[@turanmehmed6631]

Can you teaches how to counter a jab but with a nice combo not just with one punch

[@jamesmiles1328]

Turan Mehmed he basically just did throw overhand over the top just add a hook on top off that,or uppercut to hook,depends how good fighters are,but for kickboxing just kick them to stomach as they do it,

[@exodusxp8094]

from the second move where you slip to the outside, they didnt show a specific punch so you could just throw any punch/combination you want

[@Head318Hunter]

3:00 in and Shane is winded. No joke.

[@killaben85]

Is the overhand right counter more safe against a southpaws jab?

[@mdjonayed5033]

Best..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
