Who I got my fight style from... | Sparring Breakdown

One of the coaches that influenced my fight style the most was Kru Devin Henry. He's a former bodybuilder that taught me to adapt a more evasive style along with so many other lessons in the sport! As you guys watch us spar, you'll notice that we have very similar styles and movements.

When I spar I always try to put some head movement and light on the feet like TJ or Cody Thanks for the inspiration I wouldn't be there without watching your vids 🙏🏾

[@VKjkd]

Great video, and nice to see respect and credit given one of your Instructors. Have to say your solo drilling programme looks like the real deal. I reckon that can have a tremendous impact on sparring ability and I look forward to using some of the drills with students. I’ll be jumping on that as soon as I can clear this pesky sciatic nerve injury. Kudos Coach needed to see this video while injured 🙏🏼

[@ValoLee]

Totally you,jeff can u make a video how to counter the leg kicker.

Watching this is like watching two players taking the same character in Tekken 💀

@@MMAShredded I do material art since 37 years. Now I´m an old bull. ^^ I can say, that your style is very good................. well thought through !!! You move very well off the center line.

[@iTzMaJorTaK]

The similarities are evident, great style with a good balance of offence/defence and movement.

[@MMAShredded]

thank you for watching!

[@a3bmm594]

I love how they close the distance in an instance and how they constantly throwing combos without forgetting the kicks. I'm flabbergasted about the way this dude with his build owns this style. I weigh about 91/92 kg with 190cm, I would be gassed out after one round with this style.

[@SenseiSeth]

Man this was a great one to watch. So much talent from both of you

[@MMAShredded]

thank you Sensei!

It's amazing, is like if they were fighting a mirror of themselves, the speed, head movement, the counters, the fluid style, is just amazing

I like how he really just move inches enough to evade a punch, very efficient and less time consuming. Would want to plant this kind of evading style to my brain

yes hes awesome!

Big fan! I'm just a small asian teen in north yotk who's been tryna do muay Thai / kick boxing classes. Watching your analysis and videos really helps me in sparring and looking at new ideas or techniques to take into the gym, even though I'm just a beginner! Thank you for your amazing content, especially coming through during the quarantine phases.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching Kyle, keep up the training!

[@theawesomest2850]

As a small black guy who's trained Muay Thai. All I gotta say pay attention at all times when training, find what works for you, and develop a strong defense, focus on it as much as you do your offence, you'll thank me later

[@karol3853]

This sparring session was amazing! The perfect way to train together and get better together!

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching!!

[@neilmunro9932]

Favourite sparring video yet! Kru Devin Henry looks so calm and flows so beautifully. 0 Wasted movement or energy. the timing on those long knees!! Very kool to see where your style originated as it's so unique!

[@MMAShredded]

Cheers!!!

[@waterlegend72]

Head movement and hit,hit back from an amazing up and comer called Jeff Chan, I dont know if you know him Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter for me. I love the strong kicks and karate style Also leg kicks from Liam Harrison and long range elbows and headbutt fighting like Dave Leduc from Lethwei

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching :)

[@chojinacd]

wow, firstly its such a nice session to watch! I kept hearing u say "game of inches" in my head everytime Coach Devin slipped a punch. I can see what u mean with a big influence! SEcndly, it s so nice of u to give him props! thanks for this!

[@markosibarra5122]

We have the same roots, i used to have a traditional Muay Thai stance when i first started training & after a while when i learned how to box my style changes from Muay Thai style to more like Dutch Style & then again, i learned another discipline (not entirely, because it’s self-taught) Karate, everytime i spar people who’s base is Muay Thai they seem confused whenever i switch to side stance (karate stance) & they have a hard time catching/blocking the side kick including the in/out footwork that is frustrating them, i always get the best of them everytime.

[@MMAShredded]

awesome!

[@nerdSlayerstudioss]

Great vid Jeff! I really liked seeing the mirroring in your styles, but I can definitely see where you have upgraded some of those tools :). If I tried something like this it would look hilarious with my main striking coach being like a 5'4 Korean guy (I am a 6'5 lanky boi).

[@MMAShredded]

[@AhesTheDre]

That's some pretty intense sparring! those shots are being heard. Wow. Mad conditioning to sustain that rhythm for such a long time. So much to unpack in there. Particularly the very subtle feints. So, yes, evasive in defense, but also evasive offense. 👍

Incredible sparring. It's really quite intense, but not boneheaded at all, very technical, and just very mindful and mature. This is what it looks like when you've got two guys who really know what they're doing and have great attitude. Really impressed. I'm a fan of Jeffs mobile, evasive style, which combines the grit of Muay Thai with an advanced sense for different ranges and levels, and this video really shows where a lot of that came from. It's really much more suited for MMA, and the mobility, ranginess and accuracy almost gives it a bit of a karate flavor to it.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for your support man, means a lot :)

[@teamdragonpride5748]

Well done for reaching this level. It's evident that you're comfortable battling a Master

[@zac3k33]

Kru Devin is the real deal, great video!

[@Tom_Framnes]

In my utmost humble opinion. “ Nothing more rewarding than getting ones thesis validated by those who exceeds oneself in excellence” What I truly appreciate that differentiates your style of striking compared to other orthodox Nak Muay, is your emphasis ( and also a joy now to see the origin of said style) on your overall solid but fluid structure paired with impeccable balanced footwork and stance. I’ve myself have applied similar stance for quite some time, as my background in traditional martial arts, also emphasize a bit wider- but lowered/ balanced base as to enable oneself to kick and punch without giving too much of an opportunity for one’s opponent to take you down. Checking kicks with lifted knees, are an go to skill, one needs to learn and comprehend, but, depending on the context, training it as an active go to response consistently ( especially for self defense purposes) can be quite risky, so I’ve received some flak over the years for promoting catching the low kick on the thigh ie absorb and deflect to, counter, than lifting one’s knee too high, also for mma( and street altercations) take downs/ grabs are usually more prevalent in the chaos that ensues( even more so if one’s opponent is unskilled) :-/, so to see now that someone of your experience and skill set, apply the same principle, is an verification of utmost value. “ Learn the form, seek the formless” Which in turn will enable oneself to implement the concept of: “ Emancipation through application” And from there through implementing“Aliveness” ( Ref Matt Thornton SBG Portland) ie sparring; Which will enable oneself to comprehend: “ Fighting is relativity in motion, never expect only respond, as it one’s opponent within context that dictates tactics” Appreciations for sharing your incredible content with all of us, it is an joy to be able to observe and learn from such an peer as yourself. Sincere regards. Fellow Martial Artist. Tom Framnes. Norway.
