Made your double end bag for at home and it's truly fantastic

[@mpg3946]

"People been knocked out by arm punches" THANK YOU! I've always been amazed that people think arm punch es are all pillow shots. Yes, you don't get MAX power on an arm punch, but if you're accurate, it can take a brother down.

[@MixedMartialHelp]

Fighting southpaw one of my best combos is Jab, Lead Hook, Rear Roundhouse. 60% of the time it works every time.

[@timothyhill3794]

So, does it work 60% of the time or every time? 🙄😉

[@fabooshka]

[@jamesmiles1328]

[@SwordTune]

Funny, I think my experience with sport fencing helped with this. I never had trouble doubling up on my punches, left or right, since in fencing the first strike almost never lands. Cross train broadly enough and you pick up interesting things.

[@IcyMikeP]

I think I shoulda been a fencer.

[@brianwilkins4438]

My coach used call the jab hook the "Hurricane Carter Hook." RIP Coach Art.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I love the 1-3 combo. I figured it out yrs ago while sparring a friend of mine that used to box. We both hadn't trained consistently in a while but reacquainted at the bar and got together a few times. His footwork was way way above me which made it hard to catch him with anything. But I noticed he kept circling towards my lead hand, and decided to use that to my advantage by making him move with my 1-2 or just jab. But then I started doing the 1-3 and started landing more shots. And it's still been effective and useful for me since.

[@A.Clifton]

I found good use for using the left jab to left hook and using the slight shift in posture to load up an overhand right or a shallow right shovel hook with the left arm providing cover from a potentially faster counterpunch. Keeping light on the feet allows you to sort of dance away from the impact if he throws a surprisingly quick hand.

[@0713mas]

Great lesson! Someone once told me they didn't like a particular striking coach's class structure, because he would have us doing the same combinations on different stations, (in rotation) including a double end & heavy bag. Coach typically held pads as one station in the rotation, while everyone else shadow boxed. Because this fighter thought it was pointless to do shadows and it was merely to pack more fighters in the class, (im sure it could be) but I always felt like, mirror and shadow boxing teaches you how to react when you miss

[@IcyMikeP]

lol at a guy not realizing that repetition is important.

[@bluntbeagle797]

Icy Mick out here looking like a pe teacher teaching us how to fight. Haha na much love brother. Love ya videos.

[@handler803]

Finally, a double jab on the DE bag lesson. Thats where the real challenge happens since its easy land a double jab on the heavy bag

[@IcyMikeP]

Yeah the double end bag exposes you!

[@Nepthu]

Nice jab to elbow transition. I've never seen that before. I like to double jab as a way of getting inside.

[@MalasangreHellion]

This is such a vital tip most guys need to figure out, jabs and their combinations are supposed to create momentum and spaces, not necessarily hard punches. Great job.

[@langhamp8912]

The double jab is just good habit so you learn to jab and not be overbalanced or overextended. The double jab forces the excellent habit of not leaning forward.

[@MALKton]

1:25 i like the "broscience heckler" part in his videos so much ... "you gotta get to the bOdY" x,D

From what i noticed from the fight this weekend Gathje had the perfect timing in his combinations. I realized u dont have to throw it as fast as you think you do . Let One land get a reaction chuck the 2 then finally the three . worked against TONY FURG .

[@BWater-yq3jx]

I've often noticed that if I try to hit the bag really aggressively, the impact is actually a bit less (and less accurate) than if I employ a more relaxed, but still intensely focused, approach.

[@SwordTune]

That's why a whip snaps but a hammer doesn't.

[@IcyMikeP]

Yep. You can only focus your power in instants, not continuously.

[@drewtheboxer5125]

MoTC that’s why the only power shots that I throw on the bag are single shots or at the end of my combos.

[@metaempiricist]

I like to think of striking like golfers think of a golf swing. Accuracy and speed IS power, if you tense and power through your swing the ball will never go where you want or as far as you want.

[@thagrifster594]

Another great vid, Mike. Thx

[@IcyMikeP]

Thank you!

[@conradjonsson]

My coach always had me listen to soft Jazz while shadowboxing and during light sparring to get me to feel the swag:)

[@JEM-fo6rs]

I tell my guys touch touch (1-3, 1-2-3, 1-3-2 etc..) Kinda sets a relaxed rhythm tone. Gets the timing and breathing down when punching in motion. Nice video.

[@IcyMikeP]

"touch touch" is a good way to put it.

[@Panagiotis1709]

Fookin hell you had something like 3000 subs when I found the channel. On topic, I have a killer jab-body hook. It takes a lot of Shadowboxing and eventually it becomes more natural and effortless.

[@chrissimon3790]

I love the jab to the body and lead hook to the head, it’s a good mix up combo. Also you can keep alternating between high low and low high especially on less experienced guys to really control a fight or sparring

[@IcyMikeP]

I guess I should thank you for all my success. I'm gonna do a jab-body hook video soon.

[@railz1510]

Do you teach punching vertically for street fights the way old school bare knuckle boxers used to throw their punches for optimum wrist stability. And also what’s your opinion on knuckle conditioning, Mike Tyson had a street fight with Mitch green and ended knocking him out but he hurts his hands in the process I believe this was due to him punching too hard despite his wrists and knuckles not being conditioned due to always punching with gloves on.

[@emperorpigbenis8766]

What fighting style do you suggest for a long fighter? I want to use my range but I want to fight less conservatively and be able to fight a step or 2 in range

[@MixedMartialHelp]

Emperor, check out Yoshihiro Sato, he was a long K-1 Max fighter, used good range and timing, pretty conservative style. Lamsongkram Chuwattana is a good Muay Thai example. I'm sure Mike will have some good suggestions too.

[@gageabdul]

RELAX *Flexes every muscle*

[@zockerswat3532]

Yeah I noticed that as well. In martial arts you need to be relaxed and tense up at the end. Way more complicated than "just punshing". Edit: Of course tensing up at the end is connected to your intend. Maybe you dont need to tense up at all.

[@IcyMikeP]

I get what you meant.

Hey all! Question for you (or @hard2hurt): How do you make your lead jab less awkward and more quick from a muay thai stance? I was able to take two classes before covid, but now I'm essentially learning by myself. Let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks!

[@IcyMikeP]

I recommend Sean Fagan The Muay Thai Guy. The jab from the Muay Thai stance is a little different and utilized differently. I'm sure he has some content on it.

Anyone got any suggestions for a good hip mobility drill? Looking for something in the 5 to 10 minute range that could be part of a warmup for other exercise. I've had a search on the youtubes, but most of what I see is far too advanced for my present level. I'd like to have a crack at some of the kicks Mike has demonstrated, but turning my hip over or pushing out with a straight leg isn't happening.

[@hard2hurt]

Look at my lower back warmup. The two main exercises in it are also good for your hips.

[@davidbrinnen]

@@hard2hurt This one "Do you have lower back and hip pain?" - yes, Thank's Mike, I'll give those a go, they look doable. I'm in my 50's so I don't expect anything to be easy, but I was able to fix my squat as per your instructions, very helpful and I'm working on my pull ups. But I am a bit on the lardy side, so you know, it's a work in progress. If you are curious how I found your channel, it was searching for help with the pull ups and that pretty much matched my level of competence. Cheers.

[@TheRealNickG]

"People have been knocked out by arm punches." Fair enough. Also, a grown man "can" be knocked out by a 5 year old if the conditions are right. So there is that.... My sensei taught me: "We don't throw everything bone crushing in order to knock them out. We throw bone crushing strikes in order to crush the bones of theirs that we want them to stop using. Even when he blocks your punch, you make him regret not backing away from you. Only when you approach the fight like that do you MAKE him EARN the right to stand in front of you and find out if he can fight you." It was an exaggeration of course, in order to teach me the REAL purpose of strikes: Pain. But don't take my word for it. Just ask Brock Lesnar's liver. So would you rather wield for life the kind of power that can break the bones of an attacker in a life threatening situation or would you rather rely on pin point precision strikes that take much practice and maintained enthusiasm and athleticism in order to be self reportedly "minimally" effective in a "real" combat situation?
