Why I think the Cus D’Amato method of boxing is the most effective.

Mike Tyson was the baddest man to ever use this style

[@chadphelps5809]

I’ve heard they don’t just give the name” baddest man on the planet” to just any ol cus fighter is.

[@rickeymcclaryjr.2350]

Love these videos. As a shorter guy I have always admired Tyson’s style. I’m going to adapt this to my current style. Working on fusing more Wing chun into my boxing.

[@ruiguanlong77]

I am going to do a video soon on adapting wing chun techniques to suit the Cus D'Amato method!

[@rickeymcclaryjr.2350]

Rackemann Martial Arts that is awesome. I’m taking notes on all of them. I studied Wing Chun for a few years so I’m loving all of the videos.

[@Viva_la_natura]

@@rickeymcclaryjr.2350 ironic you are bringing the similarities between the Wing Chun system and The Peekaboo style. I trained in Wing Chun but stopped two years ago due to the stance irritating an old ankle injury. I've always been a fan of Mike Tyson and decided to look into peekaboo and I said wait a second.. there are a ton of similarities

[@rickeymcclaryjr.2350]

Paul D there are a lot of similarities. I’m still studying peak a boo and incorporating it.

[@padrinozerocool]

Make sure become master of both. Remember Bruce Lee quote.

[@taylorbee4010]

You keep your hands up in front of your face you dodge without giving up positioning and you use the dodges to create power. So you effectively don't give up your standing point, you work your offense around your opponents and you use that defense to convert back into offense.

[@Gyminator904]

Great video. This style is great for self defense; probably why it has remained so popular over the years.

[@chrisglover8362]

That’s a great break down of the basic philosophy . Tyson would also squat very low making it even harder to get any leverage, his stance was also a lot more square on and he would often move to southpaw inside.

[@Brucelee-pv6uf]

Cus really makes me cry😥 every time I watch a him This man is my life my heart my life my everything 😫😫😫😫💔💔 everytime I remember you I pray for you This onr become a like a drug to me I can't sleeep before watching it I fight exactly like mike now My only dream in that life that keeps me alive everyday to become a world champ like him😑❤

more to come. Working on a vid showing the adaption of southern Chinese boxing skills (aka Wing Chun) to the D'Amato style

[@codforlife]

I've been doing WC for 20 plus years. These days i sorta do a dirty boxing style with a bit of a silat vibe. These videos are great. Beautiful to the point, concise explanations. Have you watched much Luke Holloway? He's a good one to check out. Keep up the great work and your channel will grow big time! Oh yeah, 'hard to hurt' is not bad as well. Peace.

[@OIFJESSE]

It depends on the practitioner like anything else I personally have success with this type of style and love it. Especially with hooks and uppercuts

[@JediKnight1007]

Fantastic job! Thank you for this vid!

[@eranliber5993]

Nice video man. Though i dont see it as 100% like you do. for attacking - the peekaboo is the hardest to shoot your punches with speed. As a stance it is the slowest way to shoot your punches. Tyson was very rare with his abilitys. Even if a guy is taller - there are ways to establish control to some extent with a jab or tagetting mainly the body (tyson thrived on preying the body). Other than that - if you fight a guy that cant keep you at bay (because he lacks the reach or even if he is taller with less ability or ring iq) - it is very effective to move and throw him out of balance, sometimes even without throwing at all. Jab is a crucial tool in boxing - i know for myself that when i go the peekaboo way - my jab is dragged and is not as effective and snappy as if i went shoulder roll or even just the lead hand down (like tommy hearns used to do). Anyway - i liked the video very much! Cheers

[@bonkyabeans]

Alright I'm ready to fight Mayweather now

[@BootyBot]

Strangely I find Zahabi's method of moving backwards then letting him walk into your strikes or counters to be more energy efficient. Not necessarily better overall, but better in certain contexts'. This method would be effective if you plan on finishing the fight fast (as you mentioned); but if it carries on for whatever reason it requires a lot of fast twitch recruitment and will drain anyone quite fast.

[@badboy69cancer]

Fighting on the back foot is less energy efficient, not to mention biomechanicaly disadvantaged.

I always wanted to test this with knife sparring in Escrima. Sadly, cant do martial arts anymore.

[@HamzaTuranKubulay]

Escrima is pure boxing with intercepting weapons. If you do not want to intercept weapons it is applicable imho.

[@MrIcetrickzz]

Not the style I learned with but I wish I did

[@nicoelgreeko]

Pretty useful video for even us "non combatants"! I took something away from it, for sure! On a side note: I've been seeing more videos about this "Cus D'Amato Style". Is there any specific reason that you know of, or is the KZbin boxing community just inspiring each other?

[@ruiguanlong77]

I am not sure why. Maybe more boxers are appreciating the style again!

[@TsunayoshiSawadaTenth]

@@ruiguanlong77 Thank Hajime no Ippo for that

[@YaBoyBeasty]

beautiful technique brother

[@undeadpresident]

There is no one-size-fits all method for boxing. Each fighter has to find what works for them. Every fighter has different physical and mental attributes. For example it would have been very stupid for Mohamed Ali to use peekaboo style like Tyson, and stupid for Tyson to use the style that Ali did. Totally different fighters, both great, doing what works for them, which is totally different styles.

[@neckrescue1819]

It's still superior in many ways no matter the size, cus had big fighters too.

[@Andrewcch74]

[@toochangz]

@@blackhoodie4170 sorry but you are very wrong. Floyd Patterson, Jose Torres, Teddy Atlas, Kevin Rooney and Mike Tyson are all on record saying Cus' style put alot of strain on the back and led to back problems. Your just wrong ing you can't acknowledge that.

Non of those guys came remotely close to moving like Tyson

[@reidtaylor5019]

Nope. And no one ever will

[@fseymour1917]

Boxing is typically taught off the jab. Peekaboo everything comes off the slip. That is its basic fundamental idea.

[@maxjack6135]

This not the philosophy you just did a few moves but not intelligently Mike tyson used his shift and dash to go around his opponents and his jab would always be 2 one to move guard next to hit chin and he would move diagonally. Plus you forgot to mention his staggered stance smh

[@Mark_Thompson]

What about the Bruce Lee style of boxing

[@skellingtongaming9934]

you got any more vids like this?

[@RC-gf4oh]

Hey Sifu , can kicks stop this style of fighting? Side kicks , kick to knee etc

[@ruiguanlong77]

yes it can. kicks present a challenge for any boxing style. We use low line kick attacks to complement the Cus D'Amatto method!

[@justjulian7503]

This style requires the boxer to be fast and have high endurance.

Self-defence with a boxing guard ... good luck ... you guys should try it without gloves ...

yeh but.. who is having big success with it these days? Kevin rooney has had sucess but its been preety limited considering how long hes been around.. and teddy atlas trains all types of styles. Cus seemed like a master of it but who else can pass it on like that?

[@richardgomez1151]

How tall are you ? Iv seen a litlle 5'6 guy beat up a 6'1 dude a few years ago i think size its only a factor on the overall piramid of performance

[@MrAlepedroza]

There are weight classes for a reason. Size is not just one factor, but one of the most important after technique. There's a reason why fighters small for their weight divisions were so legendary: they were exceptions to the rule, they had to develop outrageously different sryles only to survive.

[@richardgomez1151]

[@richardmazursky2796]

I will not agree with the fact that you can adopt a style of someone who was unique and created this style. You won't be ? like Mike Tyson, Ali, Bruce Lee, Fedor Emelianenko, anyone from MMA, box, wrestling,etc - it's not possible! You have to come up with your own, which is very difficult or never happen. You can pretend but you will not be unique in any way - you will be a poor copy.

[@rimgaudaskairys1553]

Noone was taught the same. Even if the style looks the same there is more aspects. You can use one technique you can add another style or mix it. Even d'mato, do you think he was teaching the same? He had 70 years boxing experience and he use to analyse boxers not just train them. So over years he improved his style. What this trainer teaching is basics of basics.

Ali would've destroyed Tyson
