In this video I spar Steph Lamarche, a veteran of this sport. He has had over 20 pro MMA fights and probably tons of Muay Thai fights as well. He likes to pressure forward and gives you no space to breathe! Watch the video to find out how I try to deal with his style!

its good to spar people like him. makes you better a whole lot faster.
100%!
Miss sparring with Lamarche. Legit makes you improve every session. Keeps you honest & is a fucking savage. I don’t think people realize his age & how good he still is.
Facts
He’s still very technical and controlled despite pushing the pace. Hard sparring done safely. He’s not trying to take peoples head off. Would be a great person to learn from.
yeah he is an awesome partner!!
@@MMAShredded i have the same style but how can il be soft in power ? When i throw full mouv my power out is too much
@@jameljeanjacques8511 don't put that much hip into it. Practice your power control on a heavy bag
@@jameljeanjacques8511 in my experience, a lot of bagwork helps. When you learn how to maximize leverage use for power, you can basically do fast punches with good leverage control to reduce power. When you practice that exact motion enough, you have developed slow motion playback with it.
Honestly. He's in complete control. You can tell he understands the pace and responds accordingly... No ego, no anger, no lack of discipline... Just straight technique and aggression with tremendous pressure and control... He would be great for advanced MMA practitioners. 💪🏾🥋
His hook kick was sneaky sneaky
Ous!
Osu!!
Shredded surprise
haha yeah they were!!
Oweeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh!
He really looks like those fighters who never take a step back, Rodtang especially
haha yeah!!!
Watching him, I had this feeling that he's the sort of guy who, instead of sprawling, knocks people out with a knee to the face when they go for a takedown :-)
hahaha probably!!!
Stephan Lamarche! I've trained/sparred with that dude, he's an absolute beast. Would come to sparring after a full day of roofing and would work the entire session, no breaks.
haha yeah he is such a tank...
roofing is the best mma base
Hello Jeff, my son and i train in a gym but each Week end we train together and of course you are a great help with your vids for other combinations and advices. Greeting from Bordeaux 🇫🇷
thanks brother!!
Marvelous, Jeff, just exquisite. I shall look over you during your next bout.
thx bro!!
@@MMAShredded When Jeff calls Jesus "bro" ayy
😂😂
Awse that you're in Jeff's corner but maybe don't advise Jeff to turn the other cheek all the time. I dunno if he can manage that whole, get killed, get up again, thing.
@@fishandchipsahoy5786 Jesus prays to Jeff every Sunday
My pro coach fights/spars like this and you described exactly why it’s hard to go against: I’ve found success in disrupting their timing…catch em as they’re stepping in to punch/ also high volume with keeping their hands busy…and circling…I’ve managed to survive rounds with minimal damage
cheers!
I fight with pressure and I hate when people do exactly what you just described 🤣👍
Exactly, counter’s/angles/ high voulume( hands and feet) in concordance with movement are go-to techniques/ strategies in such an context when handling pressure fighters( Saenchai as an example comes to mind) good strategies when sparring heavier/ different/ higher weight classes as well if one finds oneself as the smaller/ lighter opponent 👍🏻
“Survive” 😂😂 I know the feeling
I feed em the ol uppercut hook or rear teep as they're coming in. Step out and a lead cross/jab if I need to escape. Catchin angles and circling definitely annoys them but man gotta work that cardio to keep doing that every round.
On other good approach is to stay planted, use more blocking parry’s, checks. And in between his strikes unload power shots.
Fighters like this like when you back up, they know you’re getting more tired than them. If you stay in the pocket and throw back and they realize you can’t be bullied the pressure drops off and they start to get more tired. Just what I’ve seen.
True, Gabriel Varga had a video where he explained, stay planted and trade 2 or 3 times, if you can make sure they respect your power and you can make them pay for heavy pressure they'll back off
cheers!!
Exactly my strategy, builds alot of confidence too.
You are just the best. I picked up so many things from you that I am using in sparring and getting complimented on by my training partners. Just to name a few the bodyhook low kick is my fav combo, also doubling up the leg kick and stepping outside for the leg kick are constantly working for me. Thanks a lot!
awesome man glad to hear :)
I went with my coach last night after practice and he very much has this kind of style. Crazy pressure and output. He also has a fight in a week so he is kinda in the zone. But man I feel like I learned so much. Definitely hope I’ll get the opportunity to go with him again tomorrow haha
cheers!
Love your channel Jeff. Your videos are amazingly instructive. I practice boxing and get a lot from your sparring sessions.
thank you brother!
Seems like Jeff has some traditional Karate background with this beautiful sweeps!
thank you!
Your better technical skills made it quite competitive and fun to watch. Definitely a style that brings out a better version of yourself in training.
thank you!!
Dude, your channel is so fun to watch. Thank You
thanks brother I appreciate it!!
I love your vids. You do a great job of showing how to recognize what's working and not working.
Thank you!
Always really enjoyed your head movement Jeff. Good Content also!
thanks bro!
Good stuff Jeff. I feel like this video can also be applied to Karate and other styles too. My sensei back then did tell me that I used to back away too much.
thanks man!!
From the thumbnail I thought it was Khalil Rountree and was excited to see him. All in all great video thanks for the content bro!
haha! thanks bro!!
Great fight.... love how you respect his style and try to make adjustments shows lots of adaptability
thanks!!
Great video, Jeff! Following your channel from now on!
Greetings from Brazil!
thank you Marcelo!!!!
Great sparring you did good bro I'm super impressed
if he's close you can neutralize his power by practicing teeps, as clinch work and sweeps to discourage aggression the clinch is very important because the closer you can get his head to your face the higher the probability of being able to kiss him in the lips
That was the best sparring session I have ever seen, outside my gym of course 😄
I really love your fighting style keep up the amazing work dude💪🏾
Ps huge fan!!!!!🤟🏽
thanks brother!!
Great video!
thank you!
Love your videos and tutorials man been watching you for a while you give a great breakdown. Would love to know how you learned to read punches so well and slip them... I would have ate his right a few times and how not to get intimidated
thanks man! I am actually working on a head movement program !
bro i absoloutely love watching your stuff
thanks Morgan, I appreciate the support!!
This is exactly what I wanted when I asked about the combos
Thank you
cheers!
The Thai sparring is some of the best I’ve seen in decades. Fantastic to watch!
thanks for watching !!
Once again perfect video!
thank you!!
Great job Jeff Chan! You are very fast!!
thanks man!
Love your videos man! Do you have any tips for people new to Muay Thai sparring? Apart from getting exhausted quick I feel like as soon as someone is half decent I'm completely clueless, is it best to just focus on something specific like defending or countering etc and not worry too much about how the spar goes? Then just a matter of putting the time in to improve? Thanks man!
hey Alex! a lot of it is just putting in the time, training the eyes and reflexes, and most of all, more technical drilling so you can react instinctually!
Those combos in that third sparring vid were sick af!!!
thanks for watching!
Great way bro
thanks bro!!
Best feeling, to watch ur videos after a hard training
thanks bro!
It looks like he uses his jab to actually cover distance and then extends further on the cross, which is actually pretty cool.
cheers!
That’s a perfect level of aggression and power to get better but not go home TOO fkd up. 😁💪🏽
cheers!
Your shot selection is beautiful
thank you!
Jeff I have a question…when dealing with an opponent that is in your face with strikes is it wise to take that opponent to the ground to grapple? I guess it would depend on skill level of grappling. Just curious with your thoughts. Thank you 😊 🙌
yes definitely, that is one of my go to's if someone is pressing too forward! And of course, if you believe you have the skills to win on the ground!
@@MMAShredded is it another option to try and tie up with a clinch?
@@greysondevries4251 Clinches are a good way to relieve pressure. Just make sure you can defend possible Judo or wrestling takedowns, Muay Thai Striking knees and elbows and the dreaded Liver blow 😂. It all depends on your opponent and your fight IQ. If you can equally dish the damage in a clinch, all the better... I'm no pro, but watching pros and a little sparring taught me that much.
Great video. I don't envy you at all brother. Jeeze
Hey coach, any MMA fighters you can recommend watching to learn more about dealing with this kind of fighter?
wonderboy thompson!
@@MMAShredded any fights of his in particular you can recommend where he really shows how to deal with pressure?
@@jayden3979 look at Dominic Reyes against Jone Jones
Dominic Cruz
@@ireneeimbert71 yeah but Jones' pressure wasn't super heavy imo, nothing like the guy Jeff was sparring with in the vid
Your sparrings always feel like i'm watching an action movie
hahaha thanks bro!
He's got your number when it comes to pure boxing, but man when you go muay thai....you make him pay for that constant attempt at pressure. Those trips were gorgeous too!
thanks bro!!
I've got 9 MMA fights so far but can tell you from watching that both these guys are fire
thanks bro!
Aggressive opponent indeed. Nice sweeps and good pacing. Hopefully ONE gives you another fight soon.
thanks bro!
spin back kick to the body when they are pushing works great if you time it decently
cheers!
Great job. You could try taking the step right. Right foot first. In and to the right. This will force him to turn into your check left hook or cross. Food for thought
cheers!
Awesome!!!
thx tapas!
That low kick high kick combo was so smooth!
cheers!!
This is why I subscribed
I appreciate the support!
What oz gloves where you using during this video? Just curious I might buy some when next week.
10 oz!
Jeff always has some super cool gear. And also is an amazing fighter
thanks bro!
Teeps and faint teeps to body head and knee tends to always work for the Thais.
cheers!
Excellent
thank you!!
Jeff was eatin him up with those kicks.
trying !
@MMAShredded do you ever worry about CTE or any other long term head issues from all the sparring you do?
yes I do, I try to do only technical sparring now but the odd times I spar a little harder.
Both players doing the Ramon Dekkers double hook thigh kick combo is noticeable. Nice to see.
cheers!
@@MMAShredded Now for the next level. Dave Hedgecock angles.
Nice bro
thanks man!
I follow your style when i am sparring thanks my master jeff from korea
thanks brother!!
Dayum! He’s ice cold and scary. But you definitely found repeated success with that low kick combo and your balance against his trips is on point, whereas he had a tough time against yours. A Very tough scout for sure, but maybe same time counters?? Which is scary against a guy like that. Hard to throw when he’s so good a keeping a fighter on their back foot.
Either way you were dealing out your own brand of scariness!
thank you !!!!
Excelent vídeo again
thank you!!
Both of you use the power jab really well!
thanks!!
We not gonna talk about the Wutang shirt! WU Tang Forever!
haha
2:50 SLIIIIICK
:)
Your opponent is very humble ..because the sparing is control a punches and kicks
5:16 damn!!!! he hit like a truck
Awesome stuff. That looks like a guy from our gym called Stefan. Also about 6’1 but at least 20 kg heavier. With lots of Muay Thai experience. He’s always like cat which is playing with its pray but never overtop power. Every round is a tuff but instructive one. He’s always in your face with menacing smile😈🤣
hahaha nice!
El es mucho mas pesado que ti . pero igual le haces frente me encanta tu canal . sos humilde y disciplinado, no me canso de ver tu contenido me parece sensato y sin mentiras saludos y espero poder verte por fox sport algun dia . ya se que el mundo es grande y todo eso pero nunca te vi maltratando a un oponente menos expediente que tu eso demuestra tu temple predisposición a siempre seguir aprendiendo y no te importa quien sea o el tamaño que tenga, siempre aprendes algo de todos y eso es muy escaso en estos tiempos de soberbia, para mi eres un gran ejemplo a segur, muchas gracias. inclusive uno que no domina el ingles entiende lo que trasmites sinceramente , gracias por tomarte el tiempo de editar y todo el trabajo que lleva hacer un video, y eso es muy escaso en estos tiempos de soberbia, para mi eres un gran ejemplo a segur, . inclusive uno que no domina el ingles entiendo lo que trasmites
I get the feeling that dude could finish you quickly and that’s really scary because you’re own skill is terrifying, how good is he?
Very nice sparring.
thank you!
Its so cool
cheers!
Ooff...this guy is a machine!
So are you Jeff haha!
thx bro!
Your videos are cool :)
thank you!!
If I may I'd recommend you utilize more of distance kicks instead of just the teep kick you can always shove someone back using a push kick also known as a gastrizan or a fully chambered sidekick Joe Lewis style of course it's easy to coach on the sidelines instead of being in the ring.
thx for the tip!
Good moving👍
Roy Jones Jr + Dutch boxing🥊
thanks!!
Very nice sparring Session
thanks!!
Definitely a veteran of the sport.
cheers!
Hi Jeff, where do you have some vids for more stretch and lean for your legs?
I do have a video on my stretching routine : th-cam.com/video/7d9P0vE2Jxs/w-d-xo.html
Hey Jeff. I love your videos man. I have a karate background and I’ve recently taken up Muay Thai 6 months ago and have a fight soon. I was wondering how long should I train Muay Thai before switching to MMA. 1 year? 2 years? Let me know
it really depends on you ! its preference bro! just because you switch to MMA doesn't mean you stop training Muay Thai though! I would wait until you feel very comfortable with your Muay Thai first though
@@MMAShredded thank you so much for the feedback. I will continue Muay Thai even after switching to mma and will be adding bjj to my arsenal soon.
Dude is like Julio Caesar Chavez. Constant pressure and in your face
haha yeaj
Ive sparred people like him it's so draining haha but it helps a lot
haha yeah!!
Love it bro, could you make a video on how to fight like a Muay Fimeau? Technical style fighters like Saenchai, Samart Payakaroon, Somrak and Israel Adesanya? Those slick, evasive, sniper type fighters.
ill see what I can do :) I do already hav a video on Saenchai though!
Jeff, in your estimate how long would a fight with this guy last if you'd move in, clinch, takedown & choke or/and lock him? 60 secs?
haha I never grappled with him so im not sure but he does have over 20 pro mma fights!
Was it difficult to punch to the body? Or were you trying to stay on the outside?
wow!
cheers!
where did u get ur muay thai shorts??
He just goes infinite punching mode and i cant get out of it :v
hahaha
Not a whole lot of frontal lobe function on that one lol.
Jeff, if I wear earplugs when sparring will that prevent ear damage? I’m not looking to be pro, just spar. I’ve only sparred at 25% and I’m sure the punches to the ear are what caused the perforated eardrums. Don’t want to lose my hearing
ear muffs will prevent cauliflower yes
Me, a pressure fighter, watching this video to learn how to counter someone trying to counter my pressure
haha nice
You Realy put it at him in the last Clip you fraze him with your speed good jop
The guy doesn't acknowledge any hits he takes so he doesn't learn and seems pretty oblivious. As you said and Jeff in hard sparring would knock his ass out.
thanks for watching!!
Great video. I wonder how effective the Mexican walking them down style would be with this type of opponent?
thanks! and im sure it'd be a war haha
sparring guys like him makes you feel it the next day
yeah I sparred this homeless guy he said he was gonna teach me brazillian jiu jitsu he taught me some cool stuff but my asshole was really sore the next day but he said that's normal when you're doing no gi
hahahaha
@@bingbong2257 he caught you with the ol' rear naked poke
I like fighters like him! I focus Muay Khao so I want opponents close. Though I have a LONG time before I could take anyone like that
:)
Can you make a video about shin splints
Has anyone sprained a toe here? How much time did it take for it to heal? I sprained mine on monday, someone checked my kick and i hit his knee 🤦🏻♂️ its still swollen, im resting, took x rays and nothing is broken.
Yo no disrespect literally just asking is there a reason ur hand drops when u throw the jab to the head or body like are u baiting a strike or just tired or is it just a mistake all together ik everyone makes mistakes especially in this game just asking no hate love ur vids.
id say its a mixture of all 3 lmfao!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
cheers!
Spar This people is how to improve 100%
cheers!
