For those who don't quite understand, the issue isn't that it happens. It's going to happen if you're fighting at 100% for round after round. The issue is having it be your *trained* response.
Ah yeah you’re right. It’s gotta be constant motion. Not just a regular degular reset but a reset for a reason like at the very least… you could do *SOMETHING*.
what was the advice? i watched this clip 8 times and I don't know (nor do I have any clue) what advice you are going against. didn't seem like they gave any advice at all except "you are doing this."
@@Icemario87 if you relax after attacking instead of being ready to defend yourself immediately, then you’re going to sleep. He’s going to let people knock him out because his kids have exhausted him.
We have a similar thing in the army. When you’re drilling reloads or clearing malfunctions sometimes you’ll drop your magazine. A lot of guns instinct is to immediately pick the mag up and go back to drilling. It ingrains the response of “I fumbled a mag. I have to pick up that mag.” What we drill is that if you drop a mag you ignore it and grab a new one. Work through the situation. Doesn’t matter if it’s a full mag. If you dropped it then it no longer exists. Dudes have been killed in combat because they fumbled a reload and dropped their mag and automatically went to pick it back up instead of just grabbing the next one on their kit.
For a great example of a fighter who excels at "rhythm break" is Fedor. He circles his hands a bit and the punches will explode at an unusual time, and odd angles.
Strong topic... Very strong... I remember Tim Bradley focusing primarily on total focus when he was at the backend of his career being trained by Teddy Atlas. After seeing this, it makes a ton of sense.
@@crooshflow1685 He would literally sh*t on any one of these kids. Shane is probably the only decent guy there. So kind of Gabriel to grace these bums with his presence. 🙏
An easy way to help the issue is to cut angles more, throw a jab and cut 45° to either side and rip some shots. The more your doing to create angles the less of a chance you have to relax
rhythm step is what everyone is doing and needs to stop? wtf is rhythm step and how do I and all the soccer moms doing aerobics stop doing rhythm step?
Who cares man this is so coorny Are you supposed mention every single boxing moves creator when you do it like if i show someone the right hand, or the shoulder roll, or the outside slip anything should i give a lecture about its history? barry robinson is a very corny bitter guy, he developed his own style kudos to him, but him wanting a praise everytime someone mentions it is so childish it theory it should be enough that people agree with you.
Dustin P former ufc champ does it a ton. He will step back, reset, pull up on his shorts above his knee and then get back into stance. Dozen times every round.
super accurate, a great boxer will catch you every time you try to reset, you are basically pausing to catch a rhythm, usually because something unexpected happens, when you should have shifted the rhythm instead of breaking it. this is where high level feigning comes into play via distance deception or laying all sorts of traps (faking a reset is a great one.) Personally I usually cash in on absolute fearlessness to remove those milliseconds of hesitation, so I must dictate the rhythm. This comes with a lot of punishment and you have to be tough to pull it off if your reaction timing isn't very sharpened, I'd recommend going the counter punching/laying traps route if you're not ready to take a beating at any time
Unless your opponent is waiting for you to back out and catch your breath, then as soon as you do they will charge and catch you off guard even if you're staying alert. All disengaging should be premeditated, timed and planned accordingly at all times
@Devon Hæbermän good ideas but to just say something isn’t right because something else is right is an ignorant way to think martial arts. It all works until it doesn’t and none of it works if it’s countered. It’s Al about reducing the actions that increase the percentage of losing. Dustin porier is the best example of a reset he flicks his hair and pulls his shorts, khabib took him down and smashed him durning a reset so his trained reaction to reset like that made him vulnerable.
I like studying Izzy for this type of topic, every body movement compliments the next, for example if he fients a right hand he would throw a right low kick because his hips are already chambered and vice versa O'Malley is another good one, the way he sets up kicks off of stance switches The best are using movement to set traps, I firmly believe that footwork and the ability to threaten attacks from multiple stances is going to be the future of striking especially for people with that taller build
Ok...you got me. At first I was like, "What am I doing?" ...then I saw "the dance". Yea, I do that for no reason other than showboating to piss off my enemy, & yes it's sometimes costs me a couple of shots to the body or legs😅 It's an old habit from watching Bruce Lee as a kid😅 I'm not even a boxer or sports fighter type, but yea... I'm guilty😂
That's a Rhythm step for you and the same persons calling out this flaw in this very video also do it. There's a reason tho, and there's a coach named Barry Robinson (which you can easily search for on internet) who can open a new world for you about your footwork habits and your base.
@@ray5549 for real! But not just footwork, combat sports and development in general. Sometimes I now even look differently at other sports not combat related. It's really like I was blind and then he gave me eyes. And it's not like I wasn't studying before I heard of him, not at all.
Hey buddy, another great video on techniques! These are extremely helpful for me who is just starting sparring with our Pro-Team in Burlington, ON, Canada. Thanks and keep up the good work.
thats where i think learning tkd and capoeira, proves so fricking affective, when it comes to body and combat awareness of these (and many other) kinds
This makes sense. I never do it because my old man taught me to absolutely always (even when tired it does not matter) keep focus and keep hands up even if you’re as far as you can be from your apponent. I hope to reach my old man’s level because he’s just a machine. I’d spar with him at 100% for ten fifteen minutes at a time and now matter how much I’ve conditioned and trained he’s always kept it together longer than myself.
all these youtube fighter coaches together at icy mikes gym. Mike is hilarious, first its wonderboy, now its every TH-cam fighter ever. good video bro.
Some fighters use it as a psychological warfare type, like the "I feel right at home, I ain't stressin'" response. But I agree, training to be lackadaisical can get you slept for sure.
Sometimes it's important to reset - maintaining continuous focus requires 'energy' - if you're out of range, having a reset is fine - probably the reason you are seeing world class athletes continuously doing it at the highest level
fixes his hair? is that what the "soccer moms" are doing wrong in this video? I have NO IDEA wtf these people are talking about so I guess I better stop fixing my hair if I want to get good.
@@WhoThisMonkey nah bro, i want to be a good fighter. hair fixing is the mistake everyone is doing and will continue doing until they watch this video.
One of my teachers has a class every so often where he plays music with a constant beat for the whole class. And while we practice techniques and spar you see people unconsciously moving with the beat, but he teaches this to explain that a major part of fighting is setting a pattern and then breaking it. And all fights have some beat or rhythm to it, especially in sport fighting where the fight goes on much longer and is much simpler since you only ever have to focus on one other person. It's kind of crazy how easy it is to pull off while music is playing because if you both fall into the rhythm, it becomes super obvious when someone breaks it. You really feel this in stuff like capoeira, where they always have music. That's why I never throw out arts like capoeira because there's always more to it even if it's not a realistic fight. But watching pro capoeira fighters break the rhythm is super impressive.
@@fighttips ha, well thank you, I have like your content, and the style you present for years :) Also there is Shoshin, Mushin, and Fudoshin ... and a whole bunch of others, but Zanshin + those 3 are most relevant common for Japanese martial arts, I think, but I'm not Japanese.

@@RazielKirin I think I just know the words mostly, I don't really get it. I had not thought about how they relate to each other actually, thank you, I will read up. I do think the same concepts tend to turn up in martial and sports in cultures, if you practise / think about it long enough. And some cultures have codified these things, or perhaps codified, then forgot (or been forced to forget), then relearned the same things, over time ...
Fortunately not a habit i picked up in karate when i was younger. Just signed back up this past week actually and been to two classes so far. On cloud nine i was permitted to return after 19 years.
In the Marine Corps when we trained in self defense techniques, the fundamental of offense is truly that the best offense is the best defense as fighters all know… our drill instructors would tell us get back into our basic warrior stance after each consecutive movement and ingrain that into our mind and core through sheer will power and discipline. It’s as important as never dropping your rifle, don’t ever drop your guard in a fight. A punch, a kick, an elbow, a pivot, a knife thrust, a body throw, coming back up from a proper break fall, etc.. every and any consecutive maneuver…we would have to get back into that stance or it means death in close quarter combat ..you’re gonna get tagged but the point is to stay in a kinetic motion as hits come your way and you send them flying .. the instinct to get back to that warrior stance to lock in each time and to utilize your peripheral as pure instinct .. That’s why you watch their center of mass and not their eyes and feet unless you can gauge the distance to size them up… Warriors since history and the dawn of mankind have done so like the Romans and Spartans who were the best boxers and grapplers and it’s a lost art today in the world of martial arts. Muhammad Ali for example fought Ken Norton, a Marine who broke Ali’s jaw and won the fight. He obliterated him. The odds were 1-5 in Norton’s favor. “Kenny's style is too difficult for me. I can't beat him, and I sure don't want to fight him again.” Ali said that Ken Norton was the best man he ever fought. In the Corps we’re trained to kill and that instinct is different than fighting someone in particular in a boxing ring and a cage knowing you’re fighting someone who won’t kill you in the battlefield we’re training to go kill someone.. society doesn’t understand that about us Marines..because we were training to fight dirty as Marines and to never hold back .. we would go 100% in every spar or training session.. it stems back to always coming back to the basic warrior stance that will keep you afloat or from getting rocked! It’s lethal and a highly effective strategy ! This is amazing advice in this video sir and I think every true fighter/warrior should learn from it ! Nonetheless keep up the phenomenal work !
💯 UFC fighters let each other “reset” all the time without taking advantage. They also let each other get away with wild strikes that miss and usually don’t take advantage of that either. “Resets” and “misses” are great opportunities to attack.
@@Icemario87 the dropping of your guard or relaxing after you've thrown a punch/combination. It makes you awfully vulnerable to counter strikes and is therefore an extremely bad habit
It's like a _training scar_ in firearms training. For example if you go to the range and shoot 3 rounds then lower your weapon to check your targets and repeat that for a period of time it's not uncommon to take that training into combat and shoot three then mentally and physically (lowering your weapon) take yourself out of the fight.
I know I do it. But I recognize it tho. I realize when ever I reset I relax my shoulders and arms and pretty much dropped them all together. Trying to get back in that mind-state of “you can be hit at literally any time” and just not forget to always be a little scared to reinforce that
If you have good distance control you can totally relax. Trust me. I fought for 20 years. Your mind should never be relaxed, there is always something firing in your mind and it is at attention. If your mind is in control then you can find moments to relax and conserve energy.
We have the same problem in wrestling. I always tell my wrestlers to always be in a good stances even when you break away because if you do this is when you are going to be taken down.
I must admit I did have this habit and I picked it up from some pros in my early amateur fighting days. When I worked with a girl I noticed she was picking up the same thing. She was getting caught when she would spar National level girls. I managed to adjust this but I catch myself from time to time doing it 😅
Illuminating...but I do have a thought: It will be measurably best to not "reset," but if you KNOW the attack of opportunity is coming...would it be a good idea to do it to provoke an attack?
Burning defense, evasion, and counters right after throwing a combination in repetitions during shadow, sparring, and heavy bag work should build the response needed as second nature. I learned this by getting knocked out a couple of times in my earlier years in Muay Thai. Concussions are not fun. Cheers.
"This" "This" Biting your tongue? Is that the "this" that you taught the kid? You taught him not to bite his tongue? Is that what the soccer moms and world champs did as well? Bite their tongues? They are accusing me of doing "this" too. But I will not do "it." whatever "it" might be...
For those who don't quite understand, the issue isn't that it happens. It's going to happen if you're fighting at 100% for round after round. The issue is having it be your *trained* response.
Same thing with people who do the pistol drills like every dude is gonna drop in 2 shots and that means you can retract and do the fake look around

In the Corps we’re trained to kill and that instinct is different than fighting someone in particular in a boxing ring and a cage knowing you’re fighting someone who won’t kill you in the battlefield we’re training to go kill someone.. society doesn’t understand that about us Marines..because we were training to fight dirty as Marines and to never hold back .. we would go 100% in every spar or training session.. it stems back to always coming back to the basic warrior stance that will keep you afloat or from getting rocked! It’s lethal and a highly effective strategy ! This is amazing advice in this video sir and I think every true fighter/warrior should learn from it ! Nonetheless keep up the phenomenal work !
I'm doing this currently! While I lay on my couch!!
This was such an entertaing and informative series of videos. Hope all you guys collab again soon.
Geez all you're missing is Seth, Jesse, and Jeff in order to assemble your own TH-cam Fight tip Avengers.

Ayoo this video is stacked with great fighters
💯 UFC fighters let each other “reset” all the time without taking advantage. They also let each other get away with wild strikes that miss and usually don’t take advantage of that either. “Resets” and “misses” are great opportunities to attack.
I'm annoyed at how accurate this is
I'm annoyed that you (and 99.9% of everyone else, including the youtuber) are physically incapable or morally opposed to naming what "this" is.
@@Icemario87 the dropping of your guard or relaxing after you've thrown a punch/combination. It makes you awfully vulnerable to counter strikes and is therefore an extremely bad habit
@@zamofalltrades4301 thank you!
It's like a _training scar_ in firearms training. For example if you go to the range and shoot 3 rounds then lower your weapon to check your targets and repeat that for a period of time it's not uncommon to take that training into combat and shoot three then mentally and physically (lowering your weapon) take yourself out of the fight.
@@killaken2000 Great point!
I know I do it. But I recognize it tho. I realize when ever I reset I relax my shoulders and arms and pretty much dropped them all together. Trying to get back in that mind-state of “you can be hit at literally any time” and just not forget to always be a little scared to reinforce that
If you have good distance control you can totally relax. Trust me. I fought for 20 years. Your mind should never be relaxed, there is always something firing in your mind and it is at attention. If your mind is in control then you can find moments to relax and conserve energy.
Say this after you start to fatigue. That's why you use good footwork to catch a breather or take round off.
The battlefield is in your mind!
We have the same problem in wrestling. I always tell my wrestlers to always be in a good stances even when you break away because if you do this is when you are going to be taken down.
I must admit I did have this habit and I picked it up from some pros in my early amateur fighting days. When I worked with a girl I noticed she was picking up the same thing. She was getting caught when she would spar National level girls. I managed to adjust this but I catch myself from time to time doing it 😅
Woah all these legends in one room
Thanks for sharing.
Varga! 👍🙏
Rhythm Step?
Illuminating...but I do have a thought:
It will be measurably best to not "reset," but if you KNOW the attack of opportunity is coming...would it be a good idea to do it to provoke an attack?
I HATE it 😂 if im holding pads for someone it drives me crazy when they throw the combo then have a little bounce about 😐
Burning defense, evasion, and counters right after throwing a combination in repetitions during shadow, sparring, and heavy bag work should build the response needed as second nature. I learned this by getting knocked out a couple of times in my earlier years in Muay Thai. Concussions are not fun. Cheers.
Pay homage to the Goat @BarryRobinson for putting the world onto this information. Rhythm step 101
Rhythm step is nonsense bs barry is fraud
God damn- this is a big clip. Got Varga, Shane, and the muay thai homie (name slips me). Cool👌🏽
MMA is not just boxing, they need to keep defense against taking down.
Sometimes it’s fatigue and to reset the mind after getting tagged .
The infamous rythm step
Love this. I was just teaching a kid at the gym the other day when he was working on the heavy bag to not do this.
"This"
"This"
Biting your tongue?
Is that the "this" that you taught the kid? You taught him not to bite his tongue? Is that what the soccer moms and world champs did as well? Bite their tongues? They are accusing me of doing "this" too. But I will not do "it." whatever "it" might be...
@@Icemario87 lol Okay. Watch the video and find out what "this" is.
@@monsterrbeast Watched it over and over. Someone else answered the question.
Watching when someone resets after striking can give you a great opening to push back on your opponent for momentarily dropping guard.
Thats true. But not everybody’s cardio is up to par to fight like that
If I reset I hit on the way out there for I’m never at rest unless I’m out of range.
Look into coach Barry Robinson and the rhythm step
The cross over i never knew I needed
Thank you
Whaaaaaaaat! I love Gabriel Varga!
Even Nick Diaz said this years ago! He said you never wanna step back (reset) after throwing your shots you basically giving your opp a free KO
Wow we have ONE person (God Bless You) who names the topic. Holy heck why aren't you the top comment??
