I think I agree overall. I think it is really important to learn get used to the gloves on but one more point for not using the gloves is that you can see your knuckle alignment better so you ultimately punch with cleaner strikes instead of just smacking them with your gloves.
I want to be able to see my hands because my angles get sloppy when I get tired, so gloves off. Sometimes Ill hold 1lb weights, but not really anymore. Im also just some guy moving around while his son takes a nap, not a fighter.
Can you make a video on bag gloves? My coach says they are cheaper and good for keeping your wrist straight but wouldn't you want the ounces when doing bag work to increase hand speed? The twin bag glove he uses seems like an old school thai glove. Also wouldn't the extra padding help with longevity of your joints?
@@dontblink3042 It makes you feel impact so you correct your bad technique more. Ehich is why the wrist hurts. Also knuckles get harder that way. The risk is obvious however.
Yo Gabriel, hope you read my comment I've been a fighter for 5 years now and been dealing with depression for some months now (I'm doing much better now tho), and I've been thinking about this question: How can martial arts help someone deal with depression (Athlete or not)? I'm throwing this suggestion here because I got kinda curious to see how a high level fighter would think about this issue. Anyways, good to see another video of yours, good luck for the future!
As a athlete and my humble opinion martial arts helps tremendously dealing with depression. For me i remember coming to the gym all down and not feeling the best Tho once I wrap my hand wraps and hit the mitts My mood gradually improves before I even know it!!! Running helps alot for me whenever I'm feeling down or frustrated It's Almost like a personal drug you can't help but to keep on taking!!! So personally when it comes to martial arts dealing with depression. Test it for yourself!!! Take a class in whatever you feel that's best for you and Or simple go out for a jog. The results speak for themselves!!!
One thing I've found is, depression will come at any point you let it. In simple terms, the more positive things I do in a day, the better I feel about my day. As if my actions are a counterargument to any thoughts that make me feel useless.
I always use shadowboxing as a warmup. I really like it for that. This is also why I don't use it with gloves. Sometimes I do use gloves but mostly I don't.
I used to shadow box with 20oz gloves on and I found it really slowed down my hand speed and also reduced my power. I found it interfered with the mechanics of my punches compared to when I hit the bag. However, I do think its good for training rotational strength.
My trainer who is my uncle makes me shadow box with 5lbs weights and when I shadow box without weights my hands feel so much faster even with gloves on
Is it not important to know what it feels like to miss with gloves on? If your opponent dips a punch, you have to pull 16oz back to your face quickly. how else do you achieve that muscle memory? on the heavy bag you make impact every time and its a lot less tiring to pull back a shot that you hit.
I watched Ramsey Dewey's video on using weights for shadow boxing. He made lotta good points, was seeing your opinion as well. Do you use resistance bands? How much weight is too much weight if using weights for shadow? Side note... sick varga Hayabusa gloves 👀
also i was thinking of being a martial artist but someone told me that mma fighter and martial artist are same thing as in mixed martial arts fighter and last what you all heard on my 1 comment is what i will do
@@Docinaplane will i did but since they don't make lots of money like boxer,kickboxer and mma fighter do then no also what your heard and saw on my 1 comenet is what i will do my goal dream is to become the best boxer,kickboxer and mma fighter of the world of all time with this combat sports that used and practiced more in ufc/mma and are the best of all time as you have seen,sanda,muay thai,savate,dutch kickboxing,american kickboxing,combat sambo,bjj,boxing im 21 and i still got time since combat sports don't have age limit also i'm thinking of learning more kickboxing styles like filipino,japanese and korean kickboxing but not lethwei or cambodian kickboxing because does are brutal and don't wear protective gear gloves or mouth guard.
@@shankshernandez2348 That's an amazing goal. If possible, train MMA from the beginning if you have a school like that you can go to. IMO that's better than taking different fighting arts at the same time. The goal is to be proficient in three areas. Striking, Wrestling, and Grappling (like BJJ) and blending them together. You can do this best if they are all at the same place. If you can't do that, then pick the one you like best and train that in the beginning, then add the others as you feel you are able to. Good luck on your journey!
i'm gonna frist train to be boxer and when i get the upper hand then i will try kickboxing and then mma will come also thank for agreeing with me on the combat sports i told you about
You mentioned working out in the heat how hot is considered too hot? And if you are a beginner slash want to get back into excellent shape is training in the heat worth it?
Was literally asking myself this yesterday at the gym, thanks for this perfect timing. Your on the way up man, keep grinding.
Bring he released that recent stretch video when I NEEDED IT. Synchronicities

What do you guys prefer and why?
Gloves on or off during shadow boxing?

Off feels more badass 👊
I prefer shadow boxing with 30lb kettlebells in my hands
Can I alternate between 18s 14s and 10s on bag

Great video ! I like how you took the time but didn’t take forever to break everything down !
As someone who is just a beginner and may not be doing enough or just nothing conditioning, this is a valuable advice.
Both, both is good

Can you make a video about that ' How we can turn into professional career and sign with organizations like Glory or etc.
I use my 10oz for shadow, 12oz for my bag work and 16 for sparring. I just bought 6oz today for my 5yr old.
Thank for another great fight tip video champ 😊👊

I just sometimes hit myself in the face when I try to block during shadowboxing with weights lmao
@@cheesedtomeetyou8007 haha same, especially when retracting my punches

Thank you for the video master
I just Shadowboxed Muay Thai for about 35 minutes yesterday with my 10 ounce gloves and I feel it haha
Shane Mosely shadowboxed and hit the speed bag with gloves on. Not all the time, but he worked it in. Especially later in his career.
I always Shadowbox AFTER my bag work as a cool down. I take the gloves off and work on speed.
Great info 👍🏼
what about shadowboxing with weights? i know that some people are against it
also i was thinking of being a martial artist but someone told me that mma fighter and martial artist are same thing as in mixed martial arts fighter and last what you all heard on my 1 comment is what i will do
Why do you want to become a martial artist?

I hate 16oz gloves too puffy and look ridiculous, but I guess I have to do what I have to do
I personally do not shadowbox with gloves simply because i keeps you aware about the position of your wrists and fists, encouraging you to keep form
same for me, especially when i mix in parrys catches or elbows
I do it with gloves on
You mentioned working out in the heat how hot is considered too hot?
And if you are a beginner slash want to get back into excellent shape is training in the heat worth it?
i strike so hard during shadowboxing, mom said i should keep them on...
Gloves is realistic for a fight i think
do you read comments?
I feel like you don't
I use two pounds weights but no gloves
Can you speak about brain damage?
