►How To Land More Punches in a Fight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyo_j...
The secret to effective striking in the martial arts and self-defense is timing. Not just timing your attacker's moves, but timing your OWN moves.
Here's a simple drill to increase awareness of how your feet and hands work together.
There are three basic timings to throwing a punch: foot first, hand first, and foot and hand together. To increase your options as a martial artist, you should practice all three. So...
STEP 1: Get a bag or something you can hit.
STEP 2: Add a stomp to your step.
Now you can hear exactly: 1) when your fist makes impact, and 2) when your foot lands.
Practice your punch with all three timings, manipulating your hand and foot to land exactly when you want them to. Then try this with all of your hand strikes.
If you're a traditional martial artist, you can practice your kata or forms the same way. Pick a technique... pick a timing... then drill it. Try one timing then the others.
When you feel comfortable practicing individual movements, try a round of shadowboxing with each timing. Same idea with a kata. Pick a kata and practice the whole sequence foot first, then hand first, then foot and hand together.
The goal is to be able to throw techniques using any timing you want. Practicing this drill will help offer you more options and better control in a self-defense situation.

Wow... this info is absolute gold! It's been almost a year since you posted it, and only 9.1k views? Damn shame.
Then again, most people are into hip and stylish moves that make them look cool, as opposed to actually skilled, so I really shouldn't be surprised. Ah well... humans.
Thanks for this, Sensei!
Ha! Thanks for the comment. I never know what will attract viewers and what won't. At least you liked that one! :) Keep punching!
truebluekit omg yes
👽 agreed. Silly humans...
Sensei, I have just started my martial arts journey and I can't thank you enough. You have helped me so much,🙏 I wish nothing but the best for you and everyone you care about.

+Daniel Shahroozi Glad you liked it, Daniel! Thank you!
***** Always sensei :D
Me listening sensei: I’LL LEARN YOUR ENTIRE STOCK OF MOVES
Thank you sensei. This is all very helpful teachings. The world of kungfu and MA is still new to me. Videos like this help guide me.
I'm so glad you find these helpful. Happy training to you!
Wonderful material as always, Ando!
I appreciate that, sir. Thank you!
very good video ! I always see your videos. they are awesome and very useful and helpful ! :) Keep making good videos! thank you, sensei ! :)
Thank you so much for the support!
Thanks for the video Sensei Ando! You grave me a great idea with the kata drill. Greetings from Spain.
+TheDavidTC Awesome! It works great with kata. Happy training from LA!
Great vid as always, I wish you would make a stance video, showing how to move around the bag and dribble techniques
Thanks for the support… and the suggestion!
Thank you for the video Sensei Ando!
You're very welcome!
+Drizzy Drea I'm totally fine. Thanks for asking!
+Drizzy Drea Back atcha! :)

Thank you for the video Sir!
+Kua JM You're very welcome!
^_^
4:34 life changing advice, sensei 🙏
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Man, from all the Self-Defense videos i´ve seen all over youtube, you´re the first instructor that comes up with a black eye, lol... that makes one think you´re totally legit... not saying the other channels im subbed are not, but man you talk the talk and walk the walk.
+The Bolt Thrower Thanks for that. Next up, I look forward to making videos with broken arms and knife wounds! :)
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. :)
+Ernst Glz I hope so! Thank you.
simple yet affective I train alone so these type of tips help a lot Do you mind sharing your take on distancing or angles My footwork drills are lacking
+Joe Hoe Thanks! Glad you found it useful. I've been getting lots of questions about footwork, so I'll figure something out.
Great video Ando! Very important topic! Could You do a video about distance in a fight? Thanks! Greetings from Brasil!
+Ícaro Fernandes You mean like maintaining, controlling, and covering distance? Sounds like a seminar idea!
In boxing i always thought that you had to do the hand+foot variation or else you 're doing the step jab wrong . Thanks for clearing it up for me
There are so many variations, but many people stop at a basic level of learning. Find great teachers and keep experimenting!
Haha, great intro Ando!
Thanks, Nathan! :)
Nice vid.
Thank you very much!
Only be afraid of sucking and dying ah ha lol! Awe your poor black eye! Mazing as always Sensei!
+Erin Brooks Ha! I might get that slogan put on a tee shirt! :) Thanks for the support, Erin!
+Ando Mierzwa I would definitely buy that.
+Sage Shaw So noted! Thanks!
Excellent video! But what are the pros/cons and applications for each of the three timings?
Hi Charles! It's not really about pros and cons, it's about using the right tool at the right time. If you can plant your foot first, you'll probably have more power. If you send your hand out first, you'll probably be faster. So, it's all about figuring out what you need to do to be effective at any given moment. And I think you should be able to do it all so you have choices!
Awareness leads to control. Control leads to sucess. Really interesting : )
Glad that made sense! Happy training!
do you have any tips for blocking punches or kicks? Nice vid by the way :)
+MilkANDMagic The truth is that blocking is a losing game. You can't block forever. Better to move and run or move and attack if you can't run.
+Ando Mierzwa woah you actually replied. Yeah i guess your right better start working on my movement. Thanks for the advice
+MilkANDMagic You bet. Stay safe!
MilkANDMagic i enjoy practicing wing chun and i love the histX behind it. The blocking and redirecting is cool. Its what i like to do for fun. I use to think that it was built to be some indestructible system for safety but as time passed I started to understand that it might not play out the way i imagine it. But! Learning and practicing may prove to be beneficial when the goal is to aim at building muscle memory and bone conditioning. Good exercise for mind and body.
i was the first subscriber and in the next day you have about 10,00 subs
It was the "Jamaal" effect. Thank you!
no,I should thank you, for making these amazing videos.
+Jamaal Sadiq I appreciate your support, sir!
and i appreciate all your help on boxing and fitness. keep up with the hark work. thank you
+Jamaal Sadiq Will do! Let's both keep working! -)
Good
👍🏼👍🏼
can you do a full punching bag drilling with all the important/useful techniques, please?
Thanks, sensei (courtesy bow)
.
Bow to you, Chea! That's a big idea! But I wrote it down. Thanks!
Thanks, Sensei.
great video as usual here question what is your favorite kick?
Well, my favorite would be a Godzilla style double kick to the face. But in real life, an oblique kick to the knee or a scoop kick to the groin/ body.
Well, my favorite would be a Godzilla style double kick to the face. But in real life, an oblique kick to the knee or a scoop kick to the groin/ body.
is oblique kick is that like cresent kick or more like the kick in the katas tekki/Nianchi sho/cho dan. i quiet like spinning side kick or stepping side kicks
+Myles Sierevogel Right. Like Naihanchi. Really, any kick that lands is my favorite! Keep spinning!
Reminds me of falling out of sync. Given I have not trained in over a decade, I suspect I have fallen far out of sync. Movements are off by a few milliseconds, which is frustrating. Interestingly, I've found I adapt to an opponent after a single match, acclimated to them to the point that I instinctively block them without much thought the next day. The acclimation lasts for about a week unless it is reinforced.
In fencing, it is hand first, then foot or, at least hand+foot simultaneously. Their is an internal sense that leading with the foot grants more power, along with pulling the hand back to wind up. Interestingly, I had the strongest punch in my TKD school by going hand first and driving it with my legs with no wind-up, but I was punching to impale.
Hand first... definitely worth playing with. Bruce Lee thought so, too!
@@AndoMierzwa in most cases, it is to establish and maintain a position of "right of way" which determines if both parties get hit, who gets the point. Of course, epee does not have right of way, but still follows this.
Also, unless you have done so already, I think a vid on kicking with the front foot vs the back foot would be beneficial. Also, some minor alteration in kicks as well. Roundhouses tend to strike inward, but you can alter it to kick outward as well (doesn't quite have the same torque, but is good for set ups).
Also, I only ever used it outside of class, since it would probably be deemed illegal in sparring, but foot blocking is another fun thing to explore (simplest demonstration is to kick the shin as the person lifts their leg to kick, cutting it off before the kick itself. When I was younger, I could block punches this way (and with shoes on, if you are fast and precise, you can catch a knife in the sole of your foot as well, though I feel there are safer ways to deal with situation such as deescalation.
Luke Schwarz All good ideas, Luke! Blocking the shin is definitely helpful as I get older! Hope you keep the right of way!
Whens the video collab with karate culture coming out? :D
Great question! To be honest, I don't even know where those gentlemen live. Guess I better find out!
+Ando Mierzwa I can't wait! :D
sensei, i want to make my kicks better and higher ,So what kind exercise i should do?
plz reply
+zidan wibowo I hate to say it, but the only way to get better at kicking is kicking. But make sure your LOW kicks are solid before reaching up for higher targets. I'm also a fan of training low stances as a way of building strength and flexibility for kicks. Don't be in a hurry... pulling a groin muscle sucks!
ok, thanks for your advice sensei I appreciate it
+zidan wibowo You bet!
That black eye? - it's called "experience". 🙏
Next video titled: Stop Hitting Yourself. 😂 I'm sorry, I couldn't resist noting that 😂😂
Another great video Sensei! 🙏
It’s a free lesson! 😎
what happend to your eye :(
A wake up call in the form of a heel to the face! Thanks for asking, sir!
that's one way to wake up lol, keep up the good work, love your humor in the vids!
+Felipe Gutierrez Thanks very much, Felipe!
where do you get that punching bag??
Pro Boxing in LA.
what is the thing you are punching?
Ha! A standing bag?
what happens on your left eye?
Didn't keep my hands up!
Where can get one of those self balancing punching bags ? Thx
+SplendidTurd Do a search on standing bags. They're not cheap, but work out great if you can't hang a bag.
+Ando Mierzwa I have a question . If you are trying to punch your opponent do you always have to be moving around everywhere or is it good to stay in one spot sometimes
+Farkham4 Gaming I don't like using the word always or never, but staying on the move is usually a good idea. Just keep in mind, you can be on the move even if you're staying in the same spot, like slipping and rolling.
***** Alright thanks for the reply!! Great vids keep them up
+Farkham4 Gaming You got it! Thank you!
what martial arts you trained in ?
+check yo self Thanks for asking. Check out my bio here: www.senseiando.com/about-ando-mierzwa/
***** will do
Question:
Was it Bruce Lee, Ando, that initially got you FIRED UP in the Martial
Arts?
ALSO:
I have a few training techniques for developing, "Timing," but, once
Again----I keep them to myself...
Sorry.
Bruce Lee was definitely a role model of confidence and control. 👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa Not to mention---Pure Skill and Explosiveness.
Sadly, I don't have a Heavy Bag. I practice puching and kicking with air and my Phone also hahaha
Work with what you got, Joseph! Just keep training!
you have 2 channels sensei?
Nope! Just one.
alright cool! Thank you so much for the information you give everybody here. By the way may i ask what martial art do you practice?
Started in TKD and AIkido... stayed with Kung Fu... dabble in BJJ. It's all good!
does pull ups build punching power
+ace hardy Gaining weight can add power. Strengthening your body can add power, too. So, sure, do pull ups. But really, the best way to build punching power is to practice punching.
+Ando Mierzwa how if I may ask
+ace hardy How to practice punching? In the air. On bags. With a partner. Just punch!
+Ando Mierzwa ok thanks
+ace hardy You bet!
Why the black eye? Nice drill too
Caught a kick with my face instead of my hands. Thanks for watching!
+Ronald Johnson A heel, in fact. Kicking up from the ground.
+Ronald Johnson I'm sure I'll eventually get hit by one of those, too!
how many subscribers ur channel has
Looks like around 9200.
+Ando Mierzwa over 9000
+moonsmonsters Hey! We hit 10,000! Thanks to everyone! Well, at least 10,000 of you! :)
what actully happened to your eye
+Orpon Dtsniper A kick. Nothing interesting. Thanks for asking!
Only be afraid of sucking and dying?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Sorry, but I picture something funny everytime I read that.
Here's a hint of what I imagine: Adult Entertainment.
I know, I have a dirty mind.
+G. Ceara Man! You just had to go there...
great.....! who the fuck knocked u out.....lol
+Ishan Dahal I didn't get the license plate. :)
+Ando Mierzwa cool
