I hope he does more of these i just sparred for the first time (1 hour of sparring) and ended it with 3 bloody noses, a video on blocking muay thai and what to do when getting punched a bunch would be amazing

[@liamjames5571]

Amazing video Shane, this is going straight into my favourites folder. I miss sparring so much, it's been close to a year now since the last time

[@dav0]

This was great. So many videos out there on tactics (do this combo! 5 ways to do X!) and not enough on strategy The entry - attack - exit is a really simple way to think about how to engage smartly. Thanks for that

[@TribuneAquila]

So basically, grab the teep and shoryuken. Got it

[@fighttips]

Perfect explanation 👌

[@jpesmar]

Well, yes, that's a way to do it, but have you even tried asking them not to interrupt you?

[@matthewkennedy1031]

Wow Shane! Your videos are so helpful for beginners, and more seasoned Martial Artists. Whenever one finds they need some advice on something unexpected they ran into in a sparring session, you have great advice on what one can learn from the experience and what one can do differently in the future. Thank you! 🙏😊⛩♥

[@embo_music00]

Extremely helpful thank-you so much. I deal with some very fast and accurate teepers at sparring every week and i struggle against them every time. I just end up in defense because they're so fast that they use them as feints to make distance and catch me and i just shell up and exit every time, extremely annoying. I will try to learn to implement what you have taught here.

Beginners? Dude this as basic as it may seam is actually very advanced tips/concepts. Techniques can be as crisp as they may be but without these advanced “fundamentals” your striking is still novice. Another great vid bro 😎👊🏼✊🏼

[@Australian_Jake]

Get as many rounds as you can is the moral of the story, which is solid advice.. only way to get good a fighting is to actually fight..

I got countered with some bombs in a fight on Sunday. I was initialising, delivering my attack but not exiting. I nearly got knocked out and my eye and side of my head doubled in size. My corner picked me up on not exiting. I won the last round but the damage was done. I lost. This is great advice, thanks Shane.

Great video Shane! Really breaking down sparring techniques to ensure the greatest success. Very crucial for any practicing martial artist!

[@jocoolshow]

The bubble/sphere that you imagine around yourself was actually something I heard about from an anime believe it or not. The Seikuken. Something else I want to try (which is easier than theory than in practice) is also imagine one around my opponent representing their estimated range of motion too, but I don't have any sparring opportunities to try it and see if it's practical

[@slimmoses6882]

Damn Shane you should post more of your sparrings rounds and breaking them down would be so interesting Also shoutout from Afrika 🤙🏾

[@EquinoXReZ]

Use the probes to see how they defend that attack and more importantly, what do they leave vulnerable when defending that attack. Then feint your probe and go for the vulnerability.

[@fighttips]

Precisely!

[@willsmith8927]

follow your dreams buddy good luck

[@thedishonestjeffsokol2489]

be aware of how long it takes to become a black belt. it should take years and not be easy...if it's quick and easy then you're probably in a bad gym. Also make sure your instructor has proven himself - does he demonstrate the technique properly? Does he spar and show how his skill without even hurting anyone? What are his credentials other than just claiming to be a black belt? Look for his history and whether he fought, who he trained with etc.

[@thedishonestjeffsokol2489]

@@willsmith8927 the reason i focused so much on the gym and the coach is because they are the most important. if they are good - then you can trust their advice. One other thing is you should do kickboxing and wrestling to get a rounded game. I only do kickboxing so I know i'll be fucked if someone catches my leg and takes me to the ground

[@willsmith8927]

@@thedishonestjeffsokol2489 same I only do Muay Thai

[@gangbang8347]

Never think that you have learned or mastered anything. Keep working and grinding. If you want success going to your club/gym isn't enough, home sessions are a must. Be open to any criticism, ask your coaches, friends, sparing partners or people on the Internet. Pick up everything from a different fighter, you will create your own style eventually, don't try to mimic someone else's style completely because we are all different. Competitions and success will come on its own, the hardest part is training. As my coach says, You earn the medal in the gym, and then you just go to take it.

[@champ5866]

[@benchang1022]

[@ArtistDaynz90]

Man that front foot was so open. You faked the teep after landing one, to get him to bite to throw the jab hand, but then landed on the front foot and did a little hop forward and barely brought that back foot back down with the font after that. All I can see is me kicking out that front foot. I'm always looking for the front foot and I don't care about the jab in extra light sparring lol. The yuki yoza sweep probably would have worked here.

[@Skibidi4234]

Hey shane what does more damage inside or outside calf kick from either orthodox or southlaw stance

[@fighttips]

The one that lands 😉 But seriously: the inside calf kick is usually easier to check, because most people stand slightly bladed with the lead foot turned inward, therefore the outside check is more likely to land. But it all depends on how your opponent is standing, how you set it up, and patterns.

[@ferdinandpalacio8503]
