The only thing I don't like about Jack Slack is the lack of more analysis videos!

[@anonismust]

Cut de Pie Fails maybe. We should request .. A style or a fighter ??

[@snakethepeg7828]

The only thing I don't like about Jack slack is he has articles published by vice😂😂😂

[@TheJoeGizzle]

"I'm Jack Slack" Epic. Best striking breakdowns out there.

[@meskalinmaskin]

I don´t know how much this differs from "How to enjoy a fight" but I will watch or read every single thing Jack Slack puts out. Been waiting for this for quite some time. Love it!

[@SPEC7RA]

already liked this before i watched the video

[@lucaswood7602]

Need more jack slack in my life!

[@roalex2272]

This is the beginning of a groundbreaking series both for fans and for coaches in pursue of a better understanding of the modern mma. Waiting for the next one(s).

[@chcknpie04]

Fantastic video, Jack! It's great to have video illustration of the points your making. I've always loved your articles and can't wait for more videos!

[@JasonX2]

Been looking forward to this, no surprise it's awesome. Jack knows his stuff!

[@rivalal]

Been waiting for this!

[@kenpachizaraki4184]

That’s a rather interesting concept; having the rear leg behind the center of mass. The more typical striking technique involves the rotation of the mass that rotates about the axis of the spine, about a 90 degree rotation from squared up shoulders (shown by paul daley at 2:46 or by diaz 2:40 ). But the way JDS threw it, the actual mass that’s accelerating is more than just the mass that rotates about the axis of the spine, it’s nearly the whole mass from the torso up as he transfers his mass from a neutral position to the lead foot. Relating this back to conservation of momentum, it makes sense that more momentum will transfer to the opponent by striking the way that JDS did. The momentum he gave in the punch was just about equal to the momentum of cains body that fell to the floor.

[@MasterTeep]

Holy shit I didn't know you worked for vice at one point. Nice

[@cameronbell7914]

Concise and effectively communicated. Really well presented work guys. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing more. Cheers.

[@ivanmoncoskimangano8158]

Happy to see your work in video format, great job as always Jack.

[@mikael15totti10]

Excellent breakdown + a voice like that can melt butter.

[@DANVIIL]

Brilliant dissection of creating balance and power through shifting weight from one foot to the other, torquing the hips, etc. Keep up the good work, Cheers!

[@enriquesalinas9880]

Classic Era Slack

[@MrTravis346]

Keep em coming

[@irrelevantgames]

need more video like this!

[@RavenSingularity]

Excellent video, great content and presentation. My only complaint is that while the speed is fine for entertainment, for those trying to learn the information it goes by rather quickly. I found myself needing to pause or rewind a fair bit to catch it all. Would be cool to have an edit that shows the fight clips in slow mo a couple times and then normal speed, to have a good look at the movement being described, also a bit longer on the text and diagrams.

[@MrBitviper]

seems like the begining of a great video series. great :)

[@hohnermode11]

Amazing as use. Still waiting on a video on that "How to enjoy a fight" series though

[@Yul_Brynner]

That's Jack's voice? bloody hell... :).

[@FavioMedrano]

This is awesome, very insightful

[@squarology]

[@coreykernan9582]

This is my go to 👍

[@FilipinoTasteTest]

WOW. I'm hearing Jack Slack, why I'm not surprised he has a british accent. I thought maybe they were going to show him hehehe. oh well. would have been nice. Jack if you're reading this, I read ALL your articles, never stop. you deserve your own show!

[@DS-fk8dv]

This is really cool!

[@taugrim]

Been wondering when you'd start doing narrations on your videos. Great job!

[@bodyboardingtoday4897]

Black Belt Knowledge, Thank you sir! 👊😎

[@nikolap8410]

Cant wait!!!

[@luckyboi317]

So what is your opinion then of horse stance? I've used both front stance and horse stance while sparring. I like how horse stance lowers your center of gravity allow you to pop up like in football, hitting your opponent with the heels of both palms just above his center of gravity shoving him backwards and in a single fluid motion throwing your hands down and grabbing his ankles throwing him on his back.

[@SirSamTheThird]

This is going to be so good! Jack, you bring such knowledge to your pieces and communicate your ideas so well. Can't wait to see more.

[@Catonius]

Nice one Slacky

[@hunnitroundheath7456]

Omg I knew it! Louis Theroux became interested in martial arts and now we have Jack Slack!

[@12nizzi187]

the artist formerly known as how to enjoy a fight

[@Bfr3shBrian]

Excellent series! Please get a better mic though

[@lucaswood7602]

excellent

[@RefuseToCrawl]

amazing

[@ReggieGeorge]

FINALLY A JACK SLACK VIDEO!! Teach me more Senpai :$

[@bdgunn]

why is the music so spooky

[@Colaborador300]

amazing!!

[@blackplastic420]

Love it!

[@lAlOTheDopeKid]

FUCKING AWESOME

[@calaverasgrande]

no mentions of center of gravity? Esp in regards to judo throws this is a big deal. It is not all about 'KO punches'.

[@phillipadams6735]

uppercuts and body shots are still dangerous with back to the cage because they drive up from the ground

[@TangoDown48]

Do you see any traditional martial arts stances that would be effective in MMA? There are only a handful of fighters who use the wider karate styles of stances. Another odd one is Gegard Mousasi but more his overall posture than his feet.

[@TheZgriffin]

I'm pulling my hair out waiting on the second already!

[@aplus1080]

Yo why is jack randomly coming up with five year old vids? KZbin have we gone around the block already?!

[@SNEAKPEEKtheHOMIE]
