HOW TO THROW A NON TELEGRAPHING PUNCH YOU CAN'T SEE IT!

[@ricardobjj24]

I remember when I saw the video of him teaching this to Kimbo and everyone at the gym started trying to throw jabs without moving. It's a good technique Michael is legit

[@mistertea4487]

Moving the fist before the body?

He also did it in the street while filming a movie in between takes. Everyone was laughing.

[@elmatasesues3630]

@@mistertea4487 it’s not so different from Bruce Lee’s philosophy, although he’s emphasizing how difficult it is to be seen, where Bruce emphasized the potential speed. Bruce was like ‘the shortest distance between two points is a straight line’, which is why the one of the main tools of JKD is the straight jab, basically what Mike is advocating here. From what I understand, he’s basically saying throw a rabbit punch. Obviously no body means no power, but if you hit properly with your first two knuckles you can do some damage, maybe stun, and more importantly follow-up

[@rj8183]

@@elmatasesues3630 Took the words out of my mouth. Factz

[@elmatasesues3630]

@PogChamp like I said I initially got this concept from JKD, and was only aware of the advantages to speed. It works in boxing yeah, especially in an orthodox stance, or if you’re slipping against a trained partner; It’s the last thing they expect. The reason I guess this works is because a trained opponent is usually looking into the periphery to see any movement of your hips or shoulders, any windup. This punch has none and relies primarily on the power you can generate from your abdomen while in a fixed position, like a tsuki in karate (personally I think he gets the concept specifically from karate, since they already train tons of static punches) I haven’t got a chance to test in a street fight, but I think it will work for the same reason. An attacker who’s had some training will get fooled, and a dude who’s swinging wild can be more easily countered using this than say a hook or a cross.

[@johnbrennan8611]

In my opinion when you have high level knowledge it is your obligation to pass it on. No one lives forever so if you don't pass down your knowledge it is lost. While I have been training in Taekwondo and Savate since 6 & 10 respectively & martial arts are a passion of mine I am a rotary engine and car builder by trade, so I take every chance I get to spread what I've learned through trial & error with something that is usually not well understood by most car builders. And I like how you pointed out not criticizing. That is very important to me to not belittle people who might not know as much as you.

In my boxing training I was taught this, but we don’t say “technique” beats speed, “timing” beats speed.

The technique is this, your hand is the first thing to move before anything else moves….so to work on this technique, stand slightly away from the bag so you have to move forward to reach it. Now strike the bag but move your hand before your feet. You will have to do it relatively slowly at first to reprogram your brain not to move your feet first. When you build up to faster speeds, the hand starting the movement before anything else is what makes it non-telegraphic. Very hard to do but once you have perfected it, it’s amazing. I have only met one man who had perfected it and being on the receiving end of it, it was like a goddamn special effect.

One thing to consider is that Professional MMA fighters and Boxers throw that way to generate power. Traditional martial arts used allot of non telgraphed strikes, but did not generate the type of full body power that a pro fighter would. I think they try to find the right balance of power with non predictability. A king fu master, for instance, may get a flurry of strikes in on a potential mma opponent. That mma fighter might eat a few of those quick strikes to deliver a more powerful blow or muscle in a takedown. Balance is probably the key.

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

@@jamesechevarria6177 the eye is fast…it’s faster than the hand…….however, it requires a lot of focus to react that quick to that punch. The thing is if you are focusing on reacting to that specific punch, you absolutely can and you’d most likely would, however youll lose focus on other things (ie: the next punch). Because over-focusing on one thing, tunnel visions you to that specific thing and it can be quite mentally exhausting.

With respect, i have a few questions. What does a non-telegraphed jab look like from a ready / guarding position? I wonder if this demonstration would be different if you werent punching from outside the opponents fov, and if you were using your shoulders / chest to push out rather than your arms / back to raise up. What kind of power are you generating with that non-telegraphed cross? Your feet lift off the ground at impact. Id love to see you hit the pressure sensor and get an idea of the absolute numbers in these techniques. How do you practise generating non-telegraphed momentum during your step-in attacks? Is it purely based on the strength of the leg muscles, or is this something any build could do with the same speed / power?

[@-VIRUS-.]

Non telegraphed motions don't necessarily have to be done without body, shoulder motion, etc... non telegraphed motion only involves one direction. If you're standing and facing an object you want to kick, punch or touch, just move forward without the slightest cocking of any limbs or part of your body, unless you intend to trick your opponent. Always move forward from where you're standing, you can shoulder snap, ground yourself and create energy from earth and up. But always move forward with your intent

[@-VIRUS-.]

Even if your feet change a fraction before you move, it creates a telegraph. If everything moves forward with the mechanics of what you're planning to do, then you will reach your target.

[@Armendicus]

@@-VIRUS-. Yeah that why he said lead with the weapon first. Maybe the power generation comes second. The shock n deorientation from being hit should give you time. Everybody has a plan til they get punched in the face -mike tyson.

[@OG_VERBZ]

Or maybe the non-telegraphed attack doesn’t need to be power that could just be the set up to get somebody off their guard to follow up with a power shot

[@negativedamage5103]

@@OG_VERBZ Possibly, but if that were the case, id like to know just how different a non-telegraphed cross is compared to a "power shot" cross. If these non-telegraphed attacks are meant to replace telegraphed versions, id like to know the compromises before adopting the technique. If these non-telegraphed attacks are meant to be used differently to "power shot" or telegraphed attacks, id like to know the scenarios where each technique would apply best.

I'm a Bajiquan master here in Norwalk, CT and this way of striking is large part of the baji style.

I remember that video on the set of Blood and Bone. Good technique makes a huge difference. Blood and Bone was so good. It should have been in theaters and had blockbuster advertising. Any chance of a sequel? How about working with Matt Mullins again? Both of you have awesome high kicks and that fight was intense.

Was this why Muhammad Ali's jab was so effective? Was he good at not telegraphing his punches? The accuracy and frequency of Ali's head strikes were always very baffling to me, and i always sensed that something other than speed or anticipation was at work there...

Great technique in a street fight when argument lead up to a scrap because your starting from totally different position but in the ring,octagon etc your standing still in your opponent sweet spot .

[@shamimmohamed2843]

Are u? Then why dont u move.....

[@shamimmohamed2843]

A street is just a larger ring/octagon. U make ur space. U create ur expanse. Fight and move to the best of abilities. If a few metres makes u feel confined....then ur mind is

[@StrivingFR]

The way he punches fast with ease its a technique Ive somewhat acquired too. Very interesting.

[@thenson1Halo]

This is a great illustration. I've always had a habit of throwing my arm first. May be related to having a large "ape factor" giving me longer reach than I appear to have. I have been teaching my 9 year old about telegraphing and I think i'll have him watch this video with me. Seeing it from a 3rd person point of view is going to be very helpful.

[@kirkbrooks9447]

Some people are great fighters and some people are great teachers. Over the years I've encountered instructors who weren't that great at fighting but they could coach a person into being a great fighter. Conversely I've met great fighters who really weren't great instructors in the Do Jang or coaches for the ring. I feel like Mr. White is one of those rare exceptions who's both.

Wow it almost reminds me of a flicker jab.... That angle must be crazy seeing it thrown at you in person because professionals seem to struggle against moving out of the way fast enough.
