- How do you MIX your martial arts and effectively combine striking and grappling training when you only have time to train a couple of days a week?
He's the Coach for a reason. Listen to Ramsey, he only talks about things he knows. Fortunately he knows about quite a bit.
That guy behind you as you speak..he kinda ripps off your moves.
Just lettin' you know
I once trained at home for 30 minutes everyday to be able to keep up with a special Sanda class that was supposed to be 5 hours of training. In the 2 weeks I did that (simple heavy bag training with basic footwork) I improved more in Sanda than I had in the whole previous year I started training in it.
Totally agree with that. Reminded me back about 15 years ago when I had a 1.5hr Argentine Tango class just before my Samba/Gaffiera class. Initially it took me about 15 minutes to readjust my mind to change from one style to the other but after some weeks, it became easier to adapt and change between styles. With the learning of striking and grappling, it may take a little getting used to the adapting with the change in theory/mechanics/dynamics between the styles but as long as the fundamentals are clear, it is more efficient to train both to better understand the (dis)advantages of styles and learn when/how to apply the right strategies.
Dude are you kidding me? MIXING martial arts?? Nonsense... Aikido is all I need.
@Reggie Stocker I respect your opinion, but I still feel any Aikido guy or girl beats a Tai Chi master any day.
Plz tell me these are jokes
@@backyardfc8535 Umm, why would it be a joke...? I'll have you know that I got my 25th-dan black belt last week.
Only from the south east western province...on the northern tip, where they studied monkey style and mixed it with snake fist.
@@harrisfrankou2368 dude, you can't mix martial arts in MMA, that's dumb ;P
One minute in I have to ask: how many twin brothers do you have? ;-)
Could you do a tutorial on the multiform technique? I noticed that in this video you use one of the clones to do the Q&A while the others are working the bags. Do I need my power level to be over 9000?
:P
Your wisdom is always appreciated Ramsey
Thank you for this
the green screen effect is cool, adds to your video. Nice work Ramsey
From looking at the thumbnail for this video, I pictured a javelin in your right hand lol.
V silly Thumbnail, I've been trying to make sense of it. WHAT DOES IT MEEEEEAN!?
When I got into MMA I already had pretty good striking from JKD, most of what I have been focusing on is where I was lacking mainly wrestling/grappling but I would agree and train both. Unless you already have one down, then focus on your vulnerabilities
Winning has made that mini double end bag, which is really a ball on an elastic string. You get it in the ceiling with one hook screw, and to the floor tied to a plastic bottle. And you can train those boxing movement at home and without gloves at anytime.
Can also store the thing at anytime since you just have to untie it from the hook. I can't think of something simpler and more effective to train super minimalistically at home.
Very good video, thank you! One can train in shadow boxing every day with themselves. Also, much like Chin-na, a good traditional karate-juitsu style will have a complete system to include strikes, grappling, take-downs and joint locks.
Would you recommend taking separate classes of striking and grappling (e.g: a gym specialized in Muay Thai and other in BJJ) or would it be better to train in a single MMA gym?
In the beginning it's fine to take both separately. Just keep it in the back of your mind during both - "What if the guy on top (grappling) tried to hit me?", "What if the guy decided to lower his level and take me down with a double leg?". I'd say until blue belt level separate is perfectly fine. You're probably not trying to be a professional fighter, right?
Probably the single mma gym. And it's also probably cheaper for 1 gym vs 2.i hardly ever go to a single style gym anymore. Too limited. And theres usually more opportunities for classes, styles, fitness equipment(some more than others), and usually for a single price. Where as youd be paying multiple places just to get the same benefit. However, if there is no mma gym near you, than do the best with what you have.
@Alfredo Barragan 502 you must have been to some poor mma gyms. my first mma gym didn't even have boxing. But when I went to a different gym yrs later, there was an actual boxing instructor along with wrestling, bjj, kickboxing, wingchun. It just depends on the individual facility and what they can afford to offer, as well as what the student can afford. Not everyone can afford multiple facilities.
In my Life, I've found that Grappling while a helluva lot more Technical is much more natural to defend against. Those who freeze up with it, especially Females, are not psychologically prepared for physical survival. One can attribute such responses to five aspects. 1. They view themselves as weak. 2. They have trauma from Violence when younger, especially Sexual or Domestic Violence. 3. They've never had to fight or have felt threatened. 4. Lack of quick adaptability to crises. 5. Overthinking rather than relying on Instinct and quick decisive movements. Now, when it comes to Striking and dealing with weapons, that's a wholly different Game. Many folks fear pain and discomfort. The classic line from "Iron" Mike Tyson says, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched." Many aspects such as Range, timing, Footwork, guards, and blocks require courage, risk, and experience as well as a completely different Mindset and Philosophy from Grappling.
Hi Ramsey, I have a question for you. First of all, I apologise if you’ve answered this multiple times before. Watched quite a few of your videos and did a quick search for this particular question.
My question is if you could go back to your athletic prime (as it pertains to combat sports) and take all the Martial Arts knowledge and technique you have now, do you think you could win fights in the UFC modern day? Not necessarily against the cream of the crop, but I’m wondering if you ever watch, say, a prelim contest and think to yourself, “I think I could beat this guy?”
Also, just for fun, how do you think you’d do if you could go back in time and enter UFC 1? If you think you could win, which fighter do you think would be the one to dethrone you in the events that followed?
Cool video as always. I trained boxing for 10 years, really i should be a coach but i am a bit shy about my fight record and don't have the time. I am learning wrestling now from scratch at 36 and it's the coolest thing ever.
Well, if you have a professional fight record, you already have a longer fight record than many of the greatest boxing coaches who have ever lived. Coaching and fighting are radically different skill sets.
@@RamseyDewey Yes agree, but i only faught amateur for a year , two 2 lost two.
I have a question: What is more important in a fight. Height or weight? Can a short stocky guy defeat a tall skinny guy?
Mike Tyson, Saenchai, Manny Pacquiao. Short for their weight class. FOR THEIR WEIGHT CLASS. Weight matters more. A short stocky guy can be a tall skinny guy.
Joe Frazer says yes, Kareem Abdul Jabbar says no!
Needs replies
In a strictly striking fight the guy with longer reach has an advantage. But if the stocky guy takes him down the stocky guy has a strength advantage. There is also the element of skill, as well as shere aggression that can have a drastic effect on the outcome.
Weight
Ramsey keeps posting videos at the pace of no one else love the knowledge and tips I really needa start training my shoulder should be healed soil from a shoulder injury in wrestling which has not let me do much with my shoulder and fast movement how would you suggest getting back into a regimen? and you think going all out(kicking, boxing, knees, elbows) three rounds on the bag the second it feels better would be a bad idea? It feels healed up ish but still a bit stiff
8:51 there's a video on TH-cam of an Ex Green Beret (I believe) teaching a Navy SEAL what to do when faced with weapons, they forgo head control and do what soldiers have done for thousands of years, wrestling. They get an underhook and wrist control or two on one wrist control they try to wrestle the person to the ground and isolate the weapon or restrain them for their allies and it's one of the most difficult things even for a trained killer. Dude got stabbed a bunch and the knife guy in the simulation was an MMA fighter
Thanks needed this
The little engine that should
When for the double egg video with northernlion?
Great video. Well needed right now. I practice Kung Fu (seven star praying mantis and Wing Chun) and yangTai Chi. but it is totally legit TMA. In all systems I'm learning applications from all the forms Tai chi included. There's sparring etc. I am learning how to fight to defend myself etc. I totally get I am not learning to cage fight and all that. But totally respect that. I have a friend who does kickboxing and MMA. I would love to try a kickboxing match once. But I'm 45 now and started training at 41. Plus my wife frowns at me when I mention it lol. Any way my friend was going to so me some BJJ since I do admit that my Kung Fu lacks ground fighting. But now with covid19 that's not happening. My kwoon is closed down also so training at home. But since I started listening to your podcast a year and a half ago I got nice little home gym with heavy bag and speed bag and weights etc. But what is best way to home learn grappling? I got some books ? Thank you for all you do man
If you really want it, you will make the time and go after it!
Ramsy i was wondering what your opinion is on combat jujutsu, like the jujutsu were you can kick and punch and also go to the ground, since we’re I live there is judo classes twice a week and a combat ju-jitsu class every week
You can’t kick and punch in combat jiu-jitsu. The only strikes allowed are open hand strikes and only on the ground. If you want to use combat JJ as a gateway to MMA, the strategies to win in CJJ set up a lot of bad habits for MMA- most importantly, while standing over someone in the guard, breaking your own posture to bend down and slap the downed opponent. That’s a death sentence when Upkicks are on the table.
In a world where you must use your elbows to avoid contamination, Tony Ferguson is king.
Please make a video explaining the best techniques to beat someone stronger than you
A .45 magnum works well
Outsmart the stronger person. Always remember that your mind or brain is the strongest part of your body. And use footwork, it doesn't matter how fast or how hard you punch if you can't even land a punch to a moving target. So focus on footwork as well as countering.
Sorry I haven't watched your channel for a while,
Hope keeping safe look after yourself
Peace
I think this is wonderful core advice. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are stuck now with gyms that don't have other humans or heavy bags or mats. Do you have any advice for comprehensive training for people stuck at home with no equipment of their own beyond their own personal gear (gloves, weapons, etc.)?
Do what you can and be patient. This is going to go on for some time.-
@@RamseyDewey Ain't that the truth! I definitely hope everyone who can stays home and stays safe. But are there any particular techniques or types of exercises you suggest as especially useful to keep us ready for the gym when we emerge?
Dear Coach: I considered not mentioning this a couple times. A dark shirt with a dark tie will never work together.
hi ramsey
i train karate (im still a beginer) and want to star doing sport bjj but i broke my leg a few monts ago iam walking now but iam still recovering so my question is what i can do to protec my once i go back to training i worry about hurting while sparring in karate or doing katas or hurting my self rolling in bjj whats your adivice ???
saludos desde mexico
I dont know too much so take it with a grain of salt, but do everything slowly especailly bone conditioning. If it has been broken it may need ample time to heal to make sure it heals properly but after that plenty of stretching and strengthening once it's decently strong and flexible slowly start to condition the bone. If you hurt it again it may never heal or take even longer. In my opinion consistency saying do it for 15 minutes 4 times a day is better than once for an hour in many things including bone conditioning. Training breaks your body down. It is not breaking your body down that makes it strong it is after you heal from that that you are stronger so dont hurt yourself more than you can heal in a day if you want to be stronger. Eat healthy food and get lots of rest its almost as important as training but I'm a hypocrite to tell you that.
Great video coach! But how do you prepare for this situation if somebody attacks your buddy with a knife? I do Sanda for 7 years and i go through scenarios like this in my mind, to be prepared. But will this really help?
Never knew you sparred with Conor mcgregor
?
Cool green screen effect , what do you think of German jiu jitsu
Ps did you manage to get a selfie
Good
Si se puede!
Moral of this video: if you want to win at MMA, bring a sledgehammer.
This comment brought to you by the fact that it is the 1st of April.
Lol I actually do train with a sledgehammer 😂
@@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill Sparring? And do you take it into the ring?
@@a-blivvy-yus lol no just for strength and coordination. Think Kobudo. but I would like to try Armored Combat one day.
@@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill Yeah, it's definitely an interesting experience (did re-enactment fighting then got into HEMA a few years back). Very different experience from fighting unarmed.
I expect to be unable to train BJJ and striking for months due to CoVid19. The only heavyweight bag on Amazon.ca (only essential stores can be open) is a MaxMMA Training and fitness heavy bag using water / air for 70-120 pounds. It’s $238 CAD and claims to be useful for striking and grappling. Have you heard of these water / air bags before and anything about their utility?
Thanks for and please keep up your extraordinary MMA coaching videos!!
Hey coach, if i have no experience with Martial arts and want to learn grappling and strikeing should i go to MMA gym or muay thai gym and bjj gym separately?
Train lethwei, sanda, and sambo
I've got a tougher question, is it possible to laugh and cry at the same time?
Eeyup
Yuuup
@NATHEN MARTIN
Check out key and Peele comedy vid...he does it at the end...never seen anything like it
th-cam.com/video/nxyiccilVKM/w-d-xo.html
Ramsey, do you think it's possible to develop knockout power or is it genetic ?
You have to work on it. It actually doesn’t take that much power to knock people out. Position and precision are much more important.
@@RamseyDewey Thank you
Dat thumbnail
If your gym or dojo doesn't have a heavy bag available... It is possible to become a reasonably good striker just with pads, shadow boxing and sparring? Or the punching bag workout is essential and irreplaceable?
Get a double end bag. It’s cheaper, and teaches you a lot more about how to move in a fight.
Hapkido, if you can find a legit place in your area, covers everything. Just be sure they actually roll and spar.
What do you think of ITF taekwondo?
Talk to that human...but it's a human! You can't just walk up and talk to a human.
Why is wrestling so OP at times? Does taking someone done give you a significant advantage?
Yes it does. Pinning an opponent on his back in a helpless position where he can’t fight back or otherwise intelligently defend himself is a HUGE advantage in a fight.
Ramsey Dewey thanks man, wrestling was hard to find in my city but now I’m moving to a place which has some MMA gyms with wrestling
Yea. I would slam them on they head. Especially if I have their back side. Maybe the Taz-mission. Haha. Old WWF choke move. My favorite really.
how do i practise grappling under corona restrictions?
imagine never being stabbed before obviously they never lived in the city
How do we not freeze up when our best friend gets stabed infront of us?
The bags behind you, what are they filled with? I’ve punched a bag filled with water and it felt weird?!
Tightly packed rags.
Knives are the most dangerous weapons in close combat. Freezing is actually the best way to survive when attacked with a knife. Unless you really really know what you are up to.
Bad news! You have to train with real knives, sharp blades. Or you will still freeze in a real world situation.
Or you have to have the Mentality to Survive and be able to adapt, think, and respond quickly to circumstances. Most situations you encounter occur randomly and unexpectedly.
@@UnexpectedWonder, unnamed is 100% wrong...
"Freezing is actually the best way to survive when attacked with a knife." No it is not how does that make any sense at all. if you freeze and someone actually is attacking you eg attempting to stab you then you are likely to be dead. It is not that hard to kill someone with a knife.
"Bad news! You have to train with real knives, sharp blades. Or you will still freeze in a real world situation."
You never train with sharp knife, far too risky for training because for it too be valid it needs to have real aggression, real speed/real power. You make a mistake training like that with a sharp blade that could be potentially fatal.
@@UnexpectedWonder, problem is eye-brain-hand-coordination is too slow for knife attacks. Your reptile brain has to be comfortable with that kind of situations. Then you can train to not get stabbed while accepting to be cut.
Spoiler: In training cutting should be avoided as well.
@@marktuthill7986, let's assume you were Master Wrong oops Wong. Now you have to prepare for your upcoming fight with Ramsey. Whom to choose as sparring partners? Joe and Brad from Fight Perfect TV or some rubber dolls from your favourite toy shop? Now think again about rubber knives.
@@unnamedchannel2202 Your analogy is false. I am not a master wong defender and actually liked brads/joes channel.
However again doing knife defense training with a real sharp knife would be stupid frankly.
You need to trigger adrenaline by doing aggressive drills, you need to use real speed/power with your stabbing attacks and do them from the right range.
This would be far too risky with a live blade.
Even hard sparing (unarmed) is nowhere near as dangerous as what you are suggesting.
Ramsey, I ask this sincerely. Why did you upvote "unnamed channel". His advice about knife self defence is downright dangerous and 100% wrong.
You don't train with a sharp knife.
You freeze against a person truly intent on stabbing you and you are likely to be dead.
The only thing he got right was "Knives are the most dangerous weapons in close combat." that I agree with.
I sincerely don’t know what you’re talking about.
I sincerely don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@RamseyDewey If you look down the comment section of this video you will find a poster called "unnamed channel"
His comment was this "Knives are the most dangerous weapons in close combat. Freezing is actually the best way to survive when attacked with a knife. Unless you really really know what you are up to.
Bad news! You have to train with real knives, sharp blades. Or you will still freeze in a real world situation."
This comment is utterly wrong and I could use a lot worse language containing swearing but I don't as I talk respectfully in general.
However you gave his comment a "heart" which implies you like/agree with it. This is what I am questioning as he is so wrong about knife defence/training that I had to comment about it. He is passing on dangerously wrong information.
The only part I agree with is "knives are the most dangerous weapons in close combat" other than that his comment is not only wrong but downright dangerous if people take away that training with a sharp blade is a good idea.
it certainly does not deserve a "heart"...
Why would you say 'killing your friend in front of you' as example. Most of my friends I've walked with freeze when they see a big dog running towards them. And they have experienced it multiple times in their life.
Except that would be a good example of when freezing is appropriate.
What else would you do?
Keep in mind that while our various instincts can often be unhelpful & even counter-productive... they exist for a reason.
Freezing when faced with a wild animal can avoid aggravating an attack.
And if you see the animal before it sees you, you may be able to avoid detection.
I've had close encounters with dogs and even snakes among other things.
Freezing has avoided problems each and every time.
On the other hand, when I've actually been attacked (by a person)...
- instant reactions, no freezing.
@@BWater-yq3jx It is good, but it is not relatable to most people.
I also am aware of when instincts can be helpful and when not. The book author Terry Pratchett was explaining it perfectly with a Cat jumping on top of small moving things - it's a good reaction when it's some small animal, not so good when it's the flame of the cord, burning the fuse towards an explosive.
Anyway, freezing is not always the right reaction, as is running away or fighting, it all depends on the circumstances and that's the reason being aware of your surroundings is the most important skill for survival, topping everything else. Automatic (trained) reactions are usually much better, yet sometimes are still not the best. Yet sometimes the trained reaction is what will give you few moment to be able to think about the best way to follow up and that's more then enough.
@@powergaminggg8730
Why isn't it relatable to most people?
Or do you mean freezing doesn't work when dealing with people instead of animals?
Yeah, not ones who are attacking you, lol.
@@BWater-yq3jx Because most people have not experienced such a extreme thing, while more ordinarily cases happen in our everyday life and you can observe the reaction of the people around you.
Also any sort of reaction is not good or bad, it's all situational. Freezing in the case of the example which Ramsey told us may be a good thing, you never know what such a psycho would do if the observers were to react, they could've been stabbed themselves etc.
Imagine walking on the sidewalk and a car obviously losing control is headed into your general direction - is it good to freeze or not ? Depends a lot on the circumstances and that's why situational awareness is more important than the reaction itself. Also keep in mind that something can increase your chances of getting a positive result, it's never set in stone that you achieve it, that's why you train sports - to increase your chances of winning and not that training means winning.
Train lethwei, sanda, and sambo
