[@justinholloway5210]

The biggest issue he had at 3:10 when he went for Harai Goshi was not so much that his hips were too high because I'm 6'4 my hips are typically higher than my opponents. Hard for me to get lower so I use throws like Uchi mata or Harai Goshi to make up for that. His biggest issue was his grips. There was nothing he had to make your body want to step forward aka Kuzushi in order for you to block the leg step and bring the opponent over. You had all the leverage and your hips were low enough to counter and bring him over. I've hit Uchi Mata and Harai goshi on guys weighing around 300lbs in free sparring. As my sensei used to say when technique is done correctly "Uke is like smoke"

[@bobbydabutcha]

You have some decent stand up. Good balance, strikes and solid kicks. I trained boxing for roughly 5 years before ever stepping on the mats from 2013-2018 and I am glad I did because I realized most grapplers NEVER even tried striking! Huge advantage even if some just shadow boxed and just hits the heavy/cobra bag. It's amazing I can still move the same way and have the same power even if I do not train it regularly anymore.

[@greenskyline2889]

i really like you videos Tyler, but i would be interested if you are only crushing white belts (what do we not see in the videos)? I used to get crushed for my first year of training and quit like 3 times. but i didnt, and learned to be calm under pressure, or while getting smashed... then i rolled with a blackbelt who submitted me like 15 times, but let me submit him a few times and i was really able to flow with him while getting teached. he punished my mistakes, but not with pain, he only "showed" me. on this day, i leaned more then the 3 month prior to that. what do you guys think about rolling with white/bluebelts?

Pretty kind lesson on why he should sharpen his game before stepping into an MMA ring. White belt jumping into the game is either brave or dumb maybe a little bit of both. He should probably join a boxing gym to get his hands right and at least hit purple belt. His opponent in the cage will be trying to hurt him in the real fight..

[@nicholasmoreno7904]

Whip that white belt!😂

[@jinxit]

Why do you think there has never been a straight ankle lock sub in UFC? Is it that fighters there are not good enough grapplers? Or is it that this is mainly "pain based" and tapping to it is an equivalent to tapping to strikes? I love straight ankle lock myself, it's probably my top 3 submission, and also I frequently tap to it when it's done belly down on me because it sure does feel like the foot is about to break. But there's a big difference between heel hook and straight ankle lock in that there's plenty of footage on the internet where the heel hook really results in a catastrophic failure, but I've never seen such a failure with straight ankle lock (there are high level bij matches finished with straight ankle lock, and often the defeated person limps around afterwards, but I've never seen an actual break happening)

[@TylerSpangler]

I think a lot of it is pain tolerance, yes, but I also think it’s completely taught wrong by most people. I watched a few videos on it that showed it right and it is night and day different. I’ve learned it in gyms and you can barely feel it. Also, footlocks in mma are generally bad because of the whole two hands on one foot while they punch you part

[@jinxit]

@@TylerSpangler Do you think you'd actually break something with your straight ankle lock on an opponent who's say from one weight class above you who's flexible (not crazy flexilble, but say Gordon Ryan flexible)? I get taps from straight ankle locks on bigger people, but to be honest I'm not sure if this isn't only a pain sub in my case

[@jinxit]

I'll answer myself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKamg4Goaq6LrZI Funny that it's almost exactly what I asked for: one weight class difference, smaller guy breaks a foot of a very competent larger guy with a variation of straight ankle lock

[@traditionalisttolkienist]

I can remember two straight ankle lock subs in the UFC: Arlovski over Sylvia, and Scott Adams over Ian Freeman (incorrectly listed as a heel hook victory in the databases).

Hey, ive been wanting to train mma for a long time but im from portugal and theres not many gyms that acctualy have a good quality for that and its pretty hard to go far living here, and also because of me being still under age im 16 years old. So i wanted to start in another sport that i could make my base to mma and i wanted a striking one im just indecise, i was thinking about kick boxing im just not sure if its a good one for mma, since a portguese guy andre fialho that is on ufc for example he started with boxing and also mcregor started with boxing before moving to mma, but i also wanted to start developing my kicks cuz in my opinion its a rly strong technic to have.
