THIS is More Important Than Cardio: How to Pace Yourself in a Fight

[@stevenshar1233]

Think of doing cardio as earning money and think pacing as spending money with a budget and a plan. Both are equally important.

[@Nicko4820]

steven shar aha clever

[@MrFifaPlayer12]

Damn, nice example

[@reesetheredcain452]

This is 100% true, I used to run miles and sprint and swim all the time when I first started boxing and I would still gas, but it's not until I went out to another gym sparring that I realised it was more nervous energy burning than fitness, so I paced my self and stayed calm and havnt gassed out in my last 15+ spars and I spar minimum 6 rounds 👍👍

[@fighttips]

+Let's Talk Boxing thanks for the feedback, man! Great to hear real-to-life stories like this 👍

[@reesetheredcain452]

fightTIPS no worries brother keep up the good work

[@FloydFilmz]

Yea me 2. I'm the only guy at my gym that can go run a ten plus mile run no problem everyday if i wanted it. And I kept gassing or getting tired shoulders in the 4 rounds of sparing until Im starting to learn to relax.

[@urgentemail8690]

How did u calm the nerves ?

[@conormcgregor155]

[@joehouston2833]

Fook It Business is going great, thanks.😀

[@TheScorpion615]

Something even more important then Cardio and Pace is proper footwork and training. Besides that you are 100% correct pace is very important as well especially as you age and get older.

[@DoomRater]

Training pace more than cardio was something I learned at Noe's gym. We did 5 minutes rounds with 45 seconds rest but we always ALWAYS tried to finish strong and the only way to do that was to scale back your speed and energy usage so you could do your last action as powerfully as your first, if not more so.

[@mg1468]

Had the same problem. I was running twice a day and then at my boxing gym 4-5 times a week aswell and pushing myself as hard as you could. Was at Peak fitness don’t think I could’ve been fitter if I wanted to be, went into my 1st amateur fight and put 110% into round 1. By round 2 I was fatigued and not even able to keep my hands up. Pacing yourself is so so important

[@Adam-fh5ig]

Hey shane u helped me win a fight i tried to evoid it and i tried ur tips and got him on the floor and and did ground and pound till he was bleeding and from this day on he dosent touch me thnx shane u saved me big time for this ive tould 12 of my frinds to sub ur welocme and bullies SUCK

[@Adam-fh5ig]

KING superman 123 123 well not the ground and pound thing it was sorter like dat but a bit exaggerated weel at least i droped his ass😂😂

[@zhink202]

HV 5 you've never had a fight in your life why you lying

[@ahorigin3323]

Zhink how do you know 😂

[@ironkhan3643]

i'm not going to say he's lying but the stuff that shane teaches is good those fight like series are partially what has gotten me to be a better fighter, i'm still trying to learn how to pace myself i ask my instructors to help me work on that shit. the one thing that nobody has taught me is how to do the overhand i learnt it all on my own but shanes the one who has gotten me a little bit further in my career, i'm not like sucking up to him but im just saying his shit works.

[@jhieufh]

Comment Police because this guy is typing like a 5 year old

[@michaelkirkland35]

The old George Foreman proved this to be true.

[@gabrielus123gabby]

He was such a beast

[@Theprocessbjj]

Dude this is so true, Crazy how you just came out with this video. My first fight was last weekend, I destroyed my opponent but was so tired because I just threw and threw and threw and forgot everything I know. I had no pace lol. Learned a lot from my mistake

[@TheCentral.Scrutinizer]

Yo shane, can you talk about what to do when you feel like you're gonna pass out?

[@alienman675]

Re group yourself and slow it down a bit

[@ShortyXC]

Simple TvGames Up your cardio, start running more. And remember to breath

[@NerdintheBay]

Agreed and thank you for the reminder. Pace is just as if not more important.

[@some_dude_on_the_internet]

Awesome vid Shane. Like how you demonstrate the importance of understanding your own pace and then tagging on the strategy of controlling the fight pace. Knowing when to push and when to recover / how to recover and maintain distance to do so is crucial. Keep up the great work!

[@robbiestephens7769]

Shane u made me feel good about my self I have exercise educe Asthma people say that I'm not In boxing shape because I be sprinting as fast as I can and I get tired easily u are a great coach Shane

[@venxz3938]

I can´t believe you made this video exactly today! :O What a coincidence, I went to a 10Km race this morning and didn´t pace myself too well, then when I got tired I was like: "shit, and I still have 6km left to go o-O " So a lot of people who were actually fatty and I had previously left behind left ME behind and had a bit of a hard time catching up again. It was surprising for me how much strategy, in this case, pacing one self, was WAY more important in a race than just being in good shape. Strategy beats shape.

[@bluecocacola]

you know its all about the pace bout the pace....

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

That song really grinds my balls

[@arvindshankar7679]

This is really offence to fighters who prefer cardio!

[@kevin080592]

no treble.. its all about the pace, about the pace. no treble, its all about the pace bout pace

[@elchivo__]

do a routine of how you train on the punching bag

[@ReasonableRadio]

He has one of these at least

[@jaherra2567]

ReasonableRadio its a good one

[@ethanspencer1691]

The amount of time and effort you put into perfecting your work really shows Shane. Keep it up mate.

[@ondejakob]

Hi Shane, thanks for a great clip. For me, though, it was more a "why pace yourself..." than a "how to..." video. I would love to see you do an extended where you focus on the how!

[@zentomon2420]

completely explain why I'm still gassing on a spar, thx for the info Shane!

[@VincentMMALife]

Saw the title, liked the video right away because you are totally right here Shane!

[@ronaldson57]

Great video can you post a video on unorthodox striking and punching in angles while moving backwards, forward, left, right, sidestepping and pivoting

[@ironkhan3643]

Silvafox all of that angled gets self explanatory once you practicing striking side to side and moving backdwards and forward with strikes, practice on the bag every little movement that shane has taught you and you'll get it down in at least a few weeks of consistency, al though shane is not the one who taught me movement though

[@lordviper9697]

Thanks so much shane you are the best because of you I am now champion and I am so bad that nobody wants to fight me you are my KZbin boxing hero

[@mikewilliams477]

Hey Shane, you think you can do a video specifically demonstrating good cardio routines to keep a workout more dynamic, possibly fight specific?

[@journeyCD]

in my opinion the 4 important things that should instinctively pop in your mind in a possible street fight or a surprise confrontation is 1. size of your opponent (does not mean the size of one individual who seems to be confronting you but the size of the group if he's with anyone because if u get lured into a fight with someone who has friends there with him they will eventually gang up on you) 2. the environment (fight or flee) or to put an object between you or a shelter or escape route 3. weapon (any thing you can grab on that u think can do damage or distraction) and 4. HELP any one that could help you or call someone to help ....at least by calling someones attention u have a potential witness.............then fight like your life depended on it....this the time u start using your skills ...pacing and hitting etc.

[@edwardstanulevich1764]

Look at the best professional sports fighters. They always pace themselves in the first half of the bout and make their opponent work. When their opponent is running low on gas, they press hard for the win. Pacing makes or breaks a fight!

[@ethanchaney1139]

This is what you do, go all out all at once as hard and possible and hope you win.

[@YungxJxyy]

0:51 when a unicorn shoots magic at you on a Tuesday at Luby's but you got a dentist appointment at 7 but you not tryin to burn yo bagel before you sweep the sidewalk.

[@JourneyToTheCage]

Jayy VFX just do high intensity cardio sessions, marathons or sparring will help u

[@allenglishknives6823]

As I got older and a little less fit, pacing myself has become the most important tool in my sparing arsenal. Also it always surprises me that people don’t take advantage when I’ve attacked and I’m blowing hard and recovering. Great time to attack your opponent 👍🏻

[@evanxx-di3fh]

Shane you've helped me a lot in boxing thanks for all the vids

[@JAMESDean-vd7gw]

yo. Shane this weekend was national qualifications for kickboxing and thanks to your videos I won gold and silver

[@ZenDragonYoutubeChannel]

Great video Shane :)

[@anatomyofastudent3735]

Hey Shane. I just had a video request; I do understand you may have touched on it slightly but I would like a very detailed video on cardio. (Example: Best exercises, How long to do the cardio exercises, how far in distance I should achieve per day, how often I should do the cardio exercises, what conditions etc...) I really dislike cardio so I don't run, but I understand without doing cardio, I won't get very far in martial arts. My technique is alright but it's my fitness that limits my ability. Nice videos by the way 👌

[@cats6173-j7i]

I myself learned this the hard way. All in all tho i also learned the better fast pace i can keep with better cardio

[@TTSetters]

Indeed.

[@jordanedwards1501]

Ayo shane when are you gonna start taking viewers videos of boxing and sparring and telling us what we do wrong and right like so he can see

[@recreant4385]

[@dantemila1698]

Thank you! I spar with two guys who have way better cardio than me but they gas out early. They ignore me when I say to watch their breath control and pacing...oh well their problem.

[@theflash2873]

Please do more of that!

[@incarser101]

Perhaps a video on controlling the pace since in a fight there are 2 people trying to keep it at their own pace

[@lukaku2095]

This is something overeem is starting to do as well. Seems more efficient in the arena recently.

[@bensixteen4170]

You are the Jeff Cavaliere in Fighting

[@AxelArmentaMMA]

[@recreant4385]

Do a video on Boxing/Mma specific Cardio training cuz your old vid is outdated my freind great video thanx for the value

[@BatmaaanNananananana]

Hey shane, can you make a video teaching how to shorten the distance against taller opponents?

Shane his a master at this

[@nicklas988]

Love your vids and channel, and i've followed you since you were a young kid telling fight stories and talking about 'beefs' in the neighbourhood. But these titles are getting way too clickbait-y However, like i said love the content and progress. Keep up the good work

[@ten4494]

Make a video about how to tolerate pain

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

Think bout dat shizznit

[@tailgunner3trap]

Sweet dude I really like your page.

[@xxxmims]

I would like to see fighting strategies

[@DoomRater]

Ross argues that people who feel that their cardio is great but they still get too winded their first round should try actively dodging for a first round of shadowboxing, like actively trying to get in, actively trying to circle, and switching between the two as you get tired.

[@johndavid8559]

Yeah good going kid

[@gavinmorawitz1313]

Shane when you gonna do another fitness challenge like you use to do back when i first subscribed lol

[@handler803]

Hey Shane, can you do a video about training with bigger gloves. Like for example, if one is competing using 12 oz gloves, would training with 14 oz gloves benefit him in terms of endurance, speed, and power?

[@Nobody-qu3zo]

Hello shane, what gloves do you use in bag work and mitts?

[@byrdy9511]

Shane you helped me knock my dad out, thank you.

[@abdullahjalil745]

good video legend

[@sword-and-shield]

All well and good, as long as your opponent allows it. While for sure you are not going to go 100% non stop, but training so you can keep the pressure on non stop at the highest intensity YOU can maintain without gassing. This is the far better approach for victory over those that are coasting, or are using on off strategy..So no, pacing is only more important than conditioning for the weak fighter...just go ask Dan Gable.

[@bmo7222]

Hi Shane can you do a video on how to fight someone who is pretty good at throwing kicks like someone who is skilled in taekwondo.

[@JourneyToTheCage]

Red_ Clouds try to close distance. Practice wrestling and BJJ to neutralise the kicking power and even just practice body shots, hooks, uppercuts, knees and elbows. Kicking relies on distance to work, so try and restrict the space and you will counter that strength.

[@danielgrant3323]

Hi Shane you have elite technique, but excuse my ignorance do you have any clips of you fighting competitively?

[@LAfurrion]

Thank you Shane I have my first ammetur MMA fight this sat in Denver and I feel like I will forget everything I have learned in ,4 years!!!? Help

[@DrRashidAziz]

What gloves are those?

[@erikkriens665]

Hey Shane, I’ve been training Muay Thai for about five and a half months now and I do really well during sparring with people that have more experience than me and i do pretty good sparring against my coach even. However, my coach clinches me a lot when I spar with him and I just don’t know really what to do in the clinch. I try to swim in and clinch him but it’s hard with the gloves, basically the only thing I am able to do is the move “china wall” to escape it. I know what I should be doing in the clinch but can’t seem to apply it during sparring, could you give some tips or make a video showing some effective things to do when clinched? Thanks man, love the videos.

[@abdullahjalil745]

is this a remaster of the old video?

[@LifeOfSandhu]

Hii Shane I'm an Indian amateur boxer... I want to tell you that, in my sparring session everytime I get hurt in my both thumbs.... And I have to stop the bout ... Please give me some advice to keep my knuckle, thumb, wrist protected... And what to do for making strength of whole knuckle.💪

[@shadowthefirst5115]

yes sir.

[@wrestler-kickboxer2524]

Pacing is crucial and so is cardio. But both = nightmate for the opponent.

[@reygonzalez2332]

Is all about ki control!!!!

[@stevengr4]

Do fighters get tested for V02 max? It's pretty common in endurance sport. (It's trainable but pretty much genetically determined) My feeling is that Connor gassed out towards the end of his Mayweather match due to comparatively lower VO2. For example I don't think that either of them went into the match without optimizing their respective capacities.

[@arveenshah8625]

What about doing a lot of rounds of sparring? Is that counted as working on your cardio?
