More Important than Cardio: How to Pace Yourself in a Fight

[@justaguy2791]

3:03 - sport specific (start) 4:15 - change tempo 4:55 - breath 5:21 train smart

[@monkeycaboose6872]

One of my wrestling team mates called me cardio king. In reality my cardio is ass, but I have good pacing.

[@enri447]

"My cardio is ass" 😂😂😂you're a legend.

[@pendayho1497]

Jorge Masvidal’s Hairline FUCK XXXTENTACION!!! BITCH

[@andrewgiegerich477]

No such thing as pace in wrestling

[@goof5068]

My friends at muay thai call me lightning

[@knuckle-sandwichmma681]

I'm giving up on smoking. As a guy with dreams I'm really embarrassed of it but in sparring or running I always knew how to pace myself. In sparring I was avoiding punches with ease (my reach really helps that) so the other guy always burns out overextending, then out of frustration they try to knock my head off throwing 100% punches and it doesnt work. for those who hate running I absolutely understand. I hate pure running but there is a way to fix it. I was laughing and being skeptical when someone advised me that but headphones can really save your day. not only it makes you deaf to your terrible breathing (not saying you should not control your breathing but it makes you focus on something else) but you can use your imagination. be Rocky of your own movie that pumps you up.

[@davidmolina4167]

who else laughed when he started swinging at the heavy bag with 100%

[@Stobus44]

Reminded me of the Charlie Zelenoff windmill.

In a nutshell.

[@SCORPION-ln3wi]

Lmao i died

[@garygwinn4256]

I like the mentality, but I still think Cardio is More important. You can exert as much energy as your body can handle. The stronger your cardio, the more dynamic of a fighter you can be.

[@josh2x226]

Agreed. Think of yourself with stat bars. Power, speed, feints, footwork, combinations are all powered by cardio and if you have an abundance of it, that opens you to so many possibilities

[@ryvaleska]

Why does he look amazing with EVERY Haircut

[@miaschreiner9216]

So true. Pacing is everything + decent cardio is everything

[@carlosfigueroa4611]

This is definitely one of the issues that I had, I am a person that gives it all when training thinking that I can reach infinite stamina level (Super saiyan lol) and would end up tired in the first few rounds! Pace, bating and strategy are far more important than wasting energy trying to land power blows every time

[@averagebloke4474]

You're right sir very important just look at Mcgregor vs Diaz 1 pace is critical. Good video as usual.

[@pablolambert2817]

Sonny Bill I guess u could also say that his cardio was terrible as well as how he paced the fight

[@saturnine41]

Pablo lambert. It was multiple things. Definitely Conor head hunting was the biggest mistake. But Diaz is a guy who builds up into a rhythm and we saw him feinting, throwing body punches, the volume strikes, which left Conor swinging at air a lot as Nate was able to bait out the reactions from him.

[@pablolambert2817]

Saturnine I agree it was a big problem but I think in the end if Connor haddent been over confident and ignored nates cardio and ability to work with rythm it would of been very different just like the second fight so ultimately it was really to do with how Connor trained and his ignorance towards Nate's skills

[@birdsamora9925]

EET FUK what about me?

[@danclapper626]

This is advice not just for fighting and training. This is life advice and can be applied to everything.

[@mosesparente3540]

this is pretty good for wrestling too, for me i usually use the first period to figure out how my opponents style, how does he react to my level changes, then once i got all that and i take him down a few times to get used to taking a shot on him, i use the next period to take him down, pull the trigger and go for the pin

[@ALIASWA]

For some reason, I was dying of laughter when he started hitting the heavy bag the first time. Reminds me of me when I started training xD

[@PrimoMilk]

3:18 is the best part. Skip to this point

[@therealcooperdrazin]

3:18 when he went off on the heavy bag😂😂😂

[@uberburstinvinci]

I like that this can be applied to other sports to not just fighting, like I don't fight, but this tips can helpful in track too.

[@ericgranberg9138]

Can you make a video on Striking combos for beginners?

[@itsyourboioatmeal7469]

Nightboosted3 Nd5

[@monkeycaboose6872]

jab > cross

[@themauler8280]

Nightboosted3 jab cross lead uppercut overhand boom ko win at least for me

[@JackToeRip]

jab, cross, left hook, right uppercut. Simple combo that works each basic punch. If you feel up for it then switch the jab to your right hand and cross to your left and so on for the other punches

[@Jon-ov4nc]

GUYS! he said beginner combos! start with 1-2 combos a jab followed by various rear hand attacks (cross, hook, uppercut, body strike). then do it with 2 jabs. the main detail to focus on is to not pull your jab back for extending the arm, its not a power punch. its a distraction. a lot of combos begin with a jab, if you broadcast your jab you wont even pull off basic 1-2 combos. someone like me will just slip the obviously incoming punch or kick you in the ribs when your guard opens up. and do not, i seriously mean DO NOT move your head left when you throw a right hand or you will violently throw your own face onto the end of someones fist. a skilled fighter wont even throw a punch when you do this, they will just hold their arm out and wait for you to run into it. as you get better make it 3 punches, then 4, then 5.

[@abdellahbellali5899]

thanks for these advices.i just got my sparring today and i really get tired . this video help

[@jamie91995]

Can you do a video on defense against sweeps, I got swept today and I'm embarrassed 😔I did not throw a kick, he somehow kicked behind my leg and took out both my legs, but he barely moved and was right in front of me.

[@zulunet3285]

Mohsan Ahmad True.

[@rantingswede3471]

The Chemistry Kid I was gonna compete last weekend but two Days before i got sweeped because i didnt pay attention and i dislocated my elbow and broke it... but other than that i rarely get sweeped and you need to really look at your opponent what he's doing and Change where (what leg) your Weight is on. and don't get embaresed we've all been there.

[@SaFeXxRandomxX]

i feel you man! the same happened to me a couple of weeks ago! Shane, read this!! :)

[@TheJpmaster69]

So you got taken down and did not kick, but the guy who took you down was kicking.....huh maybe learn from it.

[@saqman2060]

The trick is finding a pace that works for you. I find it very helpful to go light and fast in the heavy bags, and medium and slow when lifting weights. when sparing, I go medium and slow, then fast and explosive only when I see opportunity, then I reset

[@johnnychannarong5484]

wow your pace is exactly like mine.. im always trying to slow down the pace.. i only do random bursts of fast speed when an opportunity presents itself.. usually after i see ' weakness '

[@jlar8326]

Thank you this really helped me Shane

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate that you share your experience and use your own mistake to make us progress. There is so much fight channel which turn into cult of personality...Thanks for your humility. Keep up the good work!

[@Spideythegreat1]

Man I wish I had watched this just before my last fight. I over committed to the knockout strikes and ended up walking into an over hand right. Woke up with the doc looking me over.

[@lucasteixeira5346]

Very nice, Shane. I know guys that get really nervous even at sparring, most because they're afraid to get hitted. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be afraid, the fear keeps us alive, but a couple of punches at the face with boxing gloves on won't kill you too. Just relax and have fun. Cheers from Brazil.

[@iamrebbie6226]

yes this is just what i want to hear... pace yourself. everytime we spar, i always give, well not 100% but more energy and i end up catching my breath. i was trying to throw a lot of combos and try to hit my opponent hard but often times i missed or he was able to block and counter attack.

[@yadigg524]

Great observation I'll keep this video in mind during and when I'm performing.

[@BringIt96]

I used to always get gassed out but then I took a McGregor approach and sat back, held the karate stance and focused on counters and feints. Oh damn did I last a hell of a lot longer! Anyway great video man keep it up!

[@alir.9894]

Man you have so much good knowledge on fighting! We should annoint you Dr. Shane from now on! : - )

[@JonyxKenshin]

3:17 Damn Shane nice moves XD

[@Ptrrrrrrrr]

Thanks for the vid! I'm quite bad at pacing myself. I'm basically always tensed up and trying too hard. Even during shadowboxing I throw everything very hard and use a lot of energy slipping and bobbing. It's my next point of focus to tire myself out less, but it's quite hard, because I used to just do cardio and HIIT in which the whole point is to exert yourself as much as possible as quickly as possible to get the max out of your training. Now, I gotta learn to relax again...

[@jeremymerkt1449]

Some people are saying that cardio is more important, and it is, but you need both cardio and pacing yourself because nobody is going to be throwing massive power shots without getting tired.

[@donavanmonroe1590]

[@allenglishknives6823]

Excellent topic that is rarely covered 👍🏻

[@AW-xt4lx]

I think you should train harder than you fight, if you can do five six minute rounds regularly then five fives won't seem so bad and might compensate for the adrenaline. like if you get a solid workout then roll for half an hour for example then if you go for a tournament it's easier

[@mattgiro2306]

Man I learned that if you don't do any sparring for a while and u get rusty on pacing techniques , it doesn't really matter if your cardio has improved.

[@knuckle-sandwichmma681]

when I spar I throw mostly jabs and check hooks, keeping the distance. when they start to fade thats when I put just a bit pressure still keeping the distance waiting for THE shot

awesome video, man. thanks it helped me a lot! Like 👍

[@AratakiBullPowerSiddo1]

Shane I've got a question here. It's about weight training. (Strength one. Not the extremely heavy one.) - I've been increasing weights to my regular lifting weights by 15 % for every 2 and a half to 3 months time period and my strength and power has gone pretty high since I've started with this workout plan. Currently , strength wise , I rival many 75 kg to 80 kg fully muscular dudes at my gym while I weigh 65 Kg only and I'm most likely the only one at my gym within my weight category who has the strength to lift this much. No kidding. I've even had long to gym people questioning me whether I'm on steroids or not. Before , I was only ale to bench press 35 kg at medium. Now , almost 5 months later , 52.3 kg at medium . And I never feel strained or like hitting my limit because this process is a very slow strength building process which gradually helps my body to build up strength and durability within an acceptable time period as 15 % weight increase might be little to hear , but still isn't enough to strain you as much as lifting extremely heavy would do. Plus , if you're rigorous with this workout process , then it will benefit your strength in the long run by massive leaps. So two things that I genuinely wanna ask you is , that if I keep on following my weight increasing regime , then do you see me bench pressing , dead lifting , etc. 1000 Kg sometime in the future ? And if so , will that have as much impact on my body's strength , durability and power output as much as it is doing right now ?

[@tyleroldham4676]

The law of diminishing gains will eventually come into play. When you're a beginner you progress really fast.

[@dimitarmarginov3369]

Im a 278 pound guy so since my body uses alot more gas for being big, pacing is always the key. Some small thai guys i know seem to have unmimites gas tanks but even they pace themselves.

[@damionblubaugh2830]

would running and building up your stamina help stay in a fight longer

[@conradsmith6037]

Damion Blubaugh no

[@gees8892]

Don't listen to COnrad, running and stamina obviously helps

[@irisssss604]

Of course. Conditioning is one of the most important things. If you gas out then all your technique starts to flop, your defence drops, your power fades away and you are more prone to getting knocked out. So make sure your conditioning is top notch.

[@conradsmith6037]

sorry, I was being sarcastic, i apologize.

Rous thx

[@anabolicmogger]

Hey Shane could you do a video on the 5 mistakes with overhead punches? Thanks dude

[@stevenshar1233]

Pacing is much more noticeable in grappling arts, then in the striking arts. In BJJ it's hard to notice how much gas your using because of the awkward positions that your body is in.

[@BlacK40k]

steven shar yes, groundbattles are VERY exhausting
