Fantastic explanation. Great work. It took me years of boxing to actually learn everything that you are teaching here. I have also suffered from the jumping and punching in my sleep which is not a good by product for me. 🙏🏻

[@MartyMJC]

When i started focusing on relaxation i noticed that my strikes felt much faster and more fluid and i was able to do way more rounds in my training. But dont become so relaxed that you end up falling asleep on the gym floor😂

[@grantstevensma]

100% bro

[@Dunahoo42]

Just came across your videos. As a beginner these tips are exponential for my growth. You really know you stuff.

[@godhs4467]

Those who wana acheive ultra instinct in real life , watch this. Thanks for elaborating Grant 🧡

[@mamadomartialarts]

Thanks for this video, Grant! I remember in the very beginning my coach would always remind me in each class to relax. It does make a huge difference in striking speed.

[@grantstevensma]

Yes it certainly does. It's one of the foundational principles that underlies everything else. Glad you enjoyed the vid

[@vapesog232]

Bro why are you so smart dude

[@alwaystraining54]

Great video. Has anyone noticed an increase in relaxation and energy conservation using a hands-down approach?

[@chadwithautism]

Not everyone can adapt to the same queues due to differences in mindset and anatomy. Once you got technique down, you need to be mindful during training in terms of your thoughts on what you're doing at the present moment, along with how your body feels which is why slowing things down can be beneficial. Then as you get better as a fighter and are more conditioned, your body can feel a bit different. That's when youre able to slow things down or speed things up at times, test and re-test what your body is capable of and see how you can string together your techniques and develop new tactics and different strategies.

This Channel is genuine value

[@Hemsworths23]

That part about mental hustle was truly relevant. 👍

[@ocnbxng5038]

The amount of useful info I just absorbed from this video is crazy. Thanks Grant. You are very underrated

[@TheFDream]

Bro you and the bioneer are helping me level up immensely

[@grantstevensma]

💪

[@phil463]

bruce lee actually used this concept. It was his secret to the speed of the whip of his hook kick.

[@sahilsri_88]

🔥🔥really needed this video bro....

[@jti107]

I’m new to MMA and fighting. I’ve been binge watching your channel, even as a newbie your speed and technique looks insane

[@stalkerscarface]

Appreciate your videos man. There are a lot of martial arts channels explaining techniques, but I think what you are explaining is way more important, you will pick up techniques on your own sooner or later. No matter how good your technique is, you will always be held back when being tense, strikes and movement won't be as fluid, and everything will feel much sluggish. Even after about a year of boxing, I'm not as relaxed myself, especially when throwing longer combinations, headhunting or being headhunted during sparring.

[@rarefingo]

Thanks for this upload, confirming that I’m on the right path with my striking. Currently getting in the habit of visualizing my training and it’s helped immensely

[@grantstevensma]

Excellent! Good luck 💪

[@chris8691]

15:53 😂😂😂 it look like he was glitching that was funny I was just doing research on the mind body muscle connection & when to tense your muscles during a workout etc

[@benjudd3486]

Relaxation is key to speed and power. I’ve punched people relaxed in the torso and caused welting, it didn’t even feel like I hit them hard.

[@aidanfashena]

Thank you for sharing this with such clarity! I am getting started with learning my fundamental techniques and your channel has been instrumental. I really appreciate how you go into detail while emphasizing the importance of consistent practice rather than perfectionism.

[@grantstevensma]

Thank you man, that's just what I like to hear 💪

[@karn_night1]

The thumbnail alone is sick 🌩 🙌

[@grantstevensma]

Slowly becoming an anime character

[@MrPiinQu]

This video was super insightful for me, I've been striking muay thai for a few years now and struggle to be loose and relaxed. Feel like this is the missing piece

[@grantstevensma]

Really glad to hear it man!

[@AlexSina]

That is a holy shit amazing quality level thumbnail! I like this level of polish with the clips and transitions. And the info is great too. I've noticed I've finally started to be able to be more relaxed when sparring. The being fluid while shadowboxing is still something I have to be conscious of, but I just gotta keep putting the reps in. I'm glad you mentioned you still focus on it after years of practice.

[@grantstevensma]

Fundamentals are key 💯

[@davidwoodward700]

This channel is a gold mine

[@TheRowie75]

Awesome !!! Verry helpfull. THX for your awesome work!!

[@hinakhodiyara7883]

Thanks for covering this topic. Appreciate it. Have a Good One :)

[@NarutoShino818]

Thanks for Another amazing video 👊

[@WarriorEsoteric]

💥 🥊

[@MartialArtsViking]

You got me at the creativity! I honestly have the best ideas for my martial arts youtube channel when i am feeling like wasting time and just chilling.... ideas just pop up and i can expand them rather when I' having a busy day full of task my mind is like fully used with other tasks and there is no capacity for creativity... hope that does make any sense

[@grantstevensma]

It does man. Presence is so important

[@davidweinstein4583]

Very helpful

[@organicenergy5124]

Thanks grant this really helped me focus on using my posterior and anterior sling systems in my back and torso and throwing from there keeping my arms/shoulders relaxed

[@TheFlyingMan]

Great video. You got some great speed!

[@Action102]

Impressive video martial art tips. Thanks sir.

[@Bekeshan]

Thanks for the video.This is something that I felt but didn’t have knowledge to understand.

[@frederickg.6155]

Great video Grant, tension was killing me in Wing Chun. Every strike should be a whip from toes up through core then through the arm. It does take a minute to learn. My old Sifu was skinny and not super fit but he could hit like a brick using the whip action.

[@aarongant7080]

Great videos bro! I’d love to train with you but idk if that’ll ever happen! Keep it up!

[@Lifetuningbykenneth]

Great explanation Grant, thanks!

[@grantstevensma]

Thanks brother

[@optifold]

Hey, amazing stuff. Love your videos. Fully endorse the filming yourself training.

[@grantstevensma]

Thank you! Yes it's a game changer

[@javiers4173]

Thank You Grant. How should we train abs for martial arts, so we can have a tuff middle section in case we get punches in that area?

[@AxelArmentaMMA]

Hey grant love your video man been watching you and the bioneer for a couple years not I was curious how did you start to work as a online coach and martial artist did you get some kind or martial arts certification or like personal trainer nutrition course I been into fitness and martial arts particularly mma and boxing for about 10 years and was wondering how you got started as I see a lot of other fellow fitness martial arts KZbinrs but don’t know how to start as a online coach work ect ? Thank in advance 🙏

[@grantstevensma]

Just decide you're gonna do it bro! People will want to learn from you because of your results. The vast majority of people with qualifications aren't even in good shape or successful so it doesn't mean shit! If you think about why you watch me, it's because of my results, not because of qualifications. Hope this helps bro

[@AxelArmentaMMA]

@@grantstevensma thanks man ya helps a lot 🙏🥋

[@bricktea3645]

Can u properly show Jack Dempsey's falling step punch,u can read his book too,even Mike Tyson was looked up to him

[@bricktea3645]

How can u get rid of the retreating jolt u feel or cringe when thinking of blood or hurting people? I get a weird feeling shoot across my legs just thinking about these scenarios i think its called feeling weak in the knees.
