Classic shane💪🥊
Shane has gone a long way. This video is actually funny when watching nothing but his newer stuff.
You are such an inspiration
I have the same situation mate, no where near to train. I suggest you get a job for a while, and train your strength and cardio at home, runs push ups chin ups, bag work etc. When you save up some money, find somewhere near the gym to stay and train solidly for a while. I am not a fighter but this is what I did.
This is a really good informative video I have been searching for, for a while.
Amazing, inspiring, intelligent video. Every word is true. Perfect.
Great vid!
@kwonkicker it is realy good to see two of the best youtube instructional fighters to comment each other. kwonkicker and my man in this video have taught me a lot of thing and i respectr them both.
They have done a couple of videos together now. I don’t even know if you’re going to see this. How are you doing man ?
good info really helpfull thanks.
came a long way man. nice!
thank u man. u gave some good tips! I'm trying to become a great fighter like fighting is in my blood! I used to go to a UFC gym here in Las Vegas but had to stop cuzz it was to expensive for my foster parents but I was trained in kick boxing and jujitsu but still man thanks for the tips
Yeah man that's good keep training hard and keep moving forward, i stared MMA at 18 and it's been 8 mouths of training and want to be a MMA fighter man.
@@sethross9778 how’s it going? I’m 18, Starting my journey and feeling good since my family has been full of pro fighters but I’m naturally quick and just good at fighting. I love martial arts too so i hope in a few years I can start marking my legacy in the ufc 🤞
without a doubt best explanation you could ask for, is motivational btw
I wanna be a fighter one of the greatest like Mike tyson and ali I been training on and off thow my life bc ppl always would put me down. and say I'm not good enough or I'm not big enough well I can hit hard and I have very good westling training now I have been thaning for 3 months straight I'm not letting no one put me down this time but think you for the tips it really helped me out and I'm sure it will help many others
Billy Ensley stop talking about it and train
Billy Ensley People like Mike Tyson and Mohammad Ali trained for years, even decades, straight. Never on and off.
Billy Ensley you still going bro?
Where are you now, billy? How far has your progress gone?
Billy ensley the people talk a bad about you they knew you will success if you keep it up so,they worry about that . I have experience about that situations.
this was really helpful
This video helped me so much thank u now I know which one I my steps
oh thanks, so.. after watching your video I think i'll be a UFC fighter soon
DrAlligator58 did you maka it yet?
Did u
Lol loser
How could I start my boxing career? I don’t have access to a gym, don’t have a lot of money, but I want it. I know how to handle myself in a street fight as well if gloves are involved.
2020. still best video on youtube lmao
Thanks man! :D
@MMAbadassbrett look for a jui-jitsu club, that'll help you big time with submissions, also kick boxing will help you with the head kicks. Good luck man, and I hope to see you in the octagon some day
I started missing around about 3 years ago with just boxing and stuff with friends I'm undefeated in school but I want to compete against trained fighters. I'm about 6 foot and I can fight in light - welt. You do get respect and stuff but I want to take the next step and find a real spot to help me. I live in Alabama and the closest places (MMA) is like a 3 hour drive away from me.I'm 18 so just train at home the best I can. I'm stuck what should I do? I wanna persue this dream!
@MMAbadassbrett
3rd- Be involved in the community that you are competing in (MMA, Boxing, Kick Boxing, Muay thai, Grappling tournanments, etc) and get the fans to love you. Ticket sales means bigger fights, and allows you to negotiate more pay for your fights.
honestly man just being classed as an mma fighter doesn't make you any weaker, my advice is to get in boxing for abit,then muay thai,then some sort of ground game, because then you would technically be an overall good fighter. go to the gym and swim and run along with this, and your set.
Great vid, thanks!
I think this video was great thank you
amazing video, thanks heaps
Quick question have you ever smoked weed ?
most definitely he has
This video is 10y before oh wow
lol u guys alive?
Damn A7X my fav band in the backround :D
Shane is the type of guy that has a relaxed face but will snap the shit out of you
The Beginning.
@MMAbadassbrett
Find a gym that has a team to train first and for most. They will help push you when preparing for a fight, but don't just join any gym. Go to the more well known gyms that produce really good local fighters if not famous ones that actually compete so you can get what a good training regime consist of.
What age do we get paid? How do we get the money, is it our manager who helps?
@MMAbadassbrett
Second- If you don't have one, get a manager and one that you know has the best intentions for you. Promoters deal with fighter's but you won't make as much or be taken as serious if you don't have a manager or at least making the good money... it was my biggest mistake trying be my own manager in my career.
@fighttipsvideos what do you think of mma my kru talks bout how they have horrible striking and that they are just tough street fighters, i see this sort of true considering i've watched my fair share of ufc and wec, and in term of a street fight situation what do you think is better muay thai or mma mma has ground fighting but lacks in speciliaztion in striking or ground fighting so you might not be good enough to slip or ocunter back punches
The most important thing to have is a "big heart" and the "ability to take a punch!" Training and Talent is all well and good, but when you GET HIT, your game plan goes right out the back door!
good vid .. make sense ! btw , i want to ask you a question , my mom said to me that she wants to pay for an martial art fees .. now it's on me whether want to take muay thai or kick boxing .. can somebody tell me the pros and cons of these both martial art ? there's no MMA club in here =[
I'm 12 I train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,Muay Thai,and Boxing
k
+Clorox Bleach can I drink you?
this is my moms acc my real channel is called Skycrafter72 Gaming do u go to chute box to train cuz I do I do jiu jitsu and moay thai I'm 11 and my teacher is a Brazilian
Josue Landaverde Boxing, TKD and Boxing looool
bro r u good at them all or good at one or 2 and decent at others ive heard its hard to train more then like 3 martial arts specialy when u first start training or have u been training for a while I been doing bjj and muay thai for 1 year and want to start boxing not sure if I can memorize it all got any tips
thx shane
yeah dude, anyone can fight as amateur, youll just have to find a gym that will get you into it after they feel confident with your technique and fitness.
Is it too late to go pro im 21 ive never been in a real gym for boxing or anything. Ive just learned with friends at home.
My amatuer thai fight was wierd, Then again I live in buffalo new work which is a fight city we hold the ny state golden gloves here.Anyways I had head gear and gloves but no chest protector,and was able to throw head kicks well me not my opponent. Still lost cause it took a wile to get out clinch,even tho i blocked all his knees and my stand up dominated his from experience from boxing,and I had far better kicks. My leg was messed up btw I could only throw 3 head kick attempts still it went bad
Look I'm trying to start boxing but my mom won't let me since I have braces. I really want to and I'm supposed to get them off in about 10 months so what can I start doing to prepare myself for boxing? And yes this is a serious question.
2000callofdutyfreak my dude have you heard of sisu mouth guard they are made for braces
@kwonkicker Good post but He left out how IMPORTANT Getting a detailed record in amatuer boxing is,In Amateur boxing U want to have a established open amateur record to get payed and promoted,sponsored better, I mean at least win a state golden gloves, Win the national golden gloves or empire state and you set for a espn or HBO with a starting pay of 10,000contract,Win The olympics shit even make it into them and you set they really gona build you up.
watching this in 2020! dude shane had no emorion back then
Im currently taking muay thai, ive been in it about a month. Ive had previous experience with many street fights for money. The most ive made is $500 in one fight. Im 14 and im wondering how much more time i should spend taking muay thai, and how can i find professional fights?
Well your old now I'm 16 and injured Wana get back into training 😔
7:05, you tell us to find a trainer who neither rushes us into fights nor holds us back. If I start boxing for my first time, lets say today, about how long should it take before I get my first fight? (on average. Because I am guessing it depends how well the person progresses too?)
conman parker some people can fight within months and some within years. A lot of trainers don't even want you to fight for 12-18 months but it's more when you're confident that you're ready. Never have your first fight if you're not 100% sure you're ready, the last thing you want is a loss on your first fight.
Good vid
Dayumm he started from the bottom 😍👌
All iv'e ever wanted to do is become a ufc fighter but im only 15 and i don't have the money or a place to train. What do i do man help me out. FIGHT TIPS
MaximumCustoms™ lol
2019 anyone???
😑
3:37
Are you from New York? I just notice an accent lol
@96ammo Good job
Great information.
But Shane looks sleepy I this video.
Marijuana
Good video
In amateur mma fights do all ages have I wear head guards?
William Conway yes
Shane You're very young in 2011haha..that yrs I was only standard 7
What about BJJ?
yeah u can
muay thai gets paid so low for how good their striking is... such a shame they take more damage than the mma fighters in my opinion too
Can amateur fighters make money
Holy shit! Even in 2011 this guy had the look of a stoner, I guess he's one of those rare productive stoners that can kick ass. lol
I may be wrong, but your UFC title fight fees seem to be exorbitant: $500,000? I think it's much less. Though: Sports product endorsements take up the slack for the champions.
Hey I Have A Question . When Me And My Trainer Are Feeling Good And We Are Confident That Im Ready To Go Pro . What Do We Do Next ? Do We Just Go Somewhere And Say "Hey I Wanna Go Pro" ? What Do We Do After Im Ready To Turn Pro
+je ma op bromfiets Stfu bitch ass nigga
+Juan Acosta I think you have to find a MMA recruiter, for example I found one at the UFC gym. But I don't where your gym is just have to find one, good luck.
+Juan Acosta One more thing ignore these haters, they just want to piss you off because they know you wont find them, bro.
Saw you're comment on another video
Where are my sheep? Who are you talking to?
@MMAbadassbrett
Ya, no problem
James Francis Cock
@MMAbadassbrett
Those are probably the biggest things I think that are important to start... oh and start amateur if you can. It will make the biggest differnce in your career... Train your ass off and be humble when being taught.... there you go, my words of wisdom

Fuck man I want start mma more than anything but I can't find a gym I'm 6'4 athletic and very strong I think about fighting like every 10 minuets I know what takes to make pro and believe I have the potential just need to get started aahhhhhh
jordan harrison hgfds
Firstly you going to the boxing gym then immediatly attack one of coach there have with all out your energy.i guarantee the next day your name raise international.many promoters,trainer,manager looking at you.i knew its trouble but its a reality wanna be ........ Really! Even shortcut.
jordan harrison start wrestling in your in college it’s a great background or find a BJJ gym there’s plenty of those
How about wwe?
What age can you go pro in MMA? Please somebody answer!
There's no official age. To join UFC, the recommended age is 17-18
+carl karl 18
sage northcutt was like 18 when he was in the ufc tho.
I am 14, can i go to a fight?
Thumbs up if this guy looks like Edge to you!
I just turned 24 is it too late for me? I have 0 experience tbh /:
Wicked Man It would take about 4-5 years if you was really dedicated and was just mediocre
Tony Ferguson the type of guy Thanks man I was sorta hoping around the same too! And I thinkin of trying by learning muy Thai and bjj as a base
@@Wickedman5000 Age definitely plays a factor but some fighters started training "late" and still find success.
Aw, he's so cute!
can u be an mma fighter by training with a person who knows mma but does not actually own a gym?
Rowdy Orton skill is skill. If it’s true should it matter where it’s from?
It is about the skill not gym.
What's up, Shane? Damn, it was a loooong time since i saw this video. Looking back at your recent videos, the music isn't there anymore and neither the deep voice 😂
How about a 2019 version of this?
Oh fuck.someone in 2020?
I jest need to know how much wwe get paid?
Wwe fake
dear sir i am huge fan of your and have us some of your tips and take lot of benefit for my training too,i am sorry my spelings wrong cose english not my muther tung, i am south asian guy then here i have question to ask burn inside my mind i am competitive powerlifter here and i do cardio and yoga exercise to i haw train muay thai karate and kung fu and i train every day,i haw big disaier for becom mma fghiter, i love it and wona bee good at it, can know r u think becose of my muythay and kung fu and poverlifting backgrund and benifting from my crdio and yoga training can becom sucsessfull mma fghiter, i wona go top of the sport win my dreems, i know you r becy but as a fan i hop u reply for my quastion sir, thanks
+Druvi Neuleshya You need to learn jiu jitsu. Powerlifting will make you more marketable should you start winning fights. Muay Thai is awesome for MMA.
i am know muy thai and kung fu , like you seying i must lurn jiu jitsu too then thanking a lot for your advice sir, i agreed with u thanking again sir,
yes the best thing to do us start a amateur career in boxing, muay thai, or kickboxing for a couple of years. once you have experience with actual amateur fights then when your ready find a mma gym. you will already have had fighting experience so your standup striking will come natural. if you find a good mma gym it will cost like the guy said around $200 a month. here in England it's £100 so about the same. there they will usually have classes everyday and your membership will cover that and enable you to attend classes. you want to forget about fighting at this point until you learn jujitsu and wrestling and get your ground game to a decent level. they will do boxing and muay thai aswell to brush up on your skills. then when your confident get into amateur fights, until you are good enough to turn pro. so forget kung fu in my opinion, develop a base in boxing or kickboxing first. a lot of mma guys lack stand up ability so yiur striking will be the first thing you want to develop. ju jitsu and wrestling that they will teach in mma gyms in my opinion as long as you listen and keep asking questions is easier to learn, actual boxing in proper fights is tougher and is one of those things you need to spend years on. decide what sort of fighter you want to be, if you like stand up strikers stick to boxing first then develop your wrestling and jujitsu when u join mma as you will pick that up. but ground game is a must, there is loads of mma guys that can't fight standing but can wrestle so are successful but you have to be 1 hell of a wrestler. the stand up knockout fighters are more rare so if you can fight standing before you join mma you are half there and also you will have the experience of getting hit. almost all mma fighters start if with a base I.e wrestling in high school, boxing, etc so you must develop 1 of these. I would suggest muay thai or kick boxing. good luck.
Sean Price dear sir i strongly believe wing chun kung fu help in any fight and i am all ready master kick boxing, i am very thankful your opinion like u saying i am gonna join mma gym master my mma skills, thanking a lot for ur comments it mean lot too me sir
+Druvi Neuleshya your welcome and if you think kung fu will help you in your career then keep it up. and if you already have competed in kickboxing that's a good advantage. so find a mma gym when you can. check it's a good gym and ask if they have pro fighters and check out the pros records on the Internet. good luck.
Hey man is jompop the owner of kiatphontip
