You see it in every martial arts style-- bad head movement. Whipping your head around like a bobblehead is a dangerous habit. So, why is it so common?
I think the root of the problem is the illusion of speed and power you get when you shake your head. As an experiment, try standing still while you whip your head around. It feels like you're moving fast and strong, doesn't it? But you're really not!
This delusion is why martial artists looking to add more speed and power to their punches, kicks, and kata, start rocking their head. Which only helps the bad guy beat you up! You're shaking your own brain!
No, I’m not talking about bobbing and weaving here, I’m talking about whipping your head around for no reason. Instead, you should challenge yourself to develop speed and your power without moving your head.
Keep it safe! Don't be a bobblehead! :)

mom, Ando is making fun of me!
HA!
Bad baby
I love your way to explain things man, you're great hahaha
+José María Del Hoyo Rivera Thank you very much! :)
As usual: useful information, real solution. More than grateful.
My pleasure, sir!
Not only did this video point out something which I will from now on pay closer attention to. IT CLOSED WITH A DANK RHYME.
+Kieran Hynes Ha! Dr. Seuss was my sensei. Thanks, Kieran!
LOL!
I just found out about this channel, subscribing right away!
This is a real Gold mine.... your videos are original, let alone your sense of humour.
That means a LOT to me. Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
Y Hr you're 1 year faster than me, I just subscribe it yesterday. I don't know why I don't notice this channel until now.
For better head movement, check out these simple Neck Exercises: th-cam.com/video/bu7Az5w2ttM/w-d-xo.html Stay safe, my friend! :)
sensei please do a video about Blocking
+Josue Rocha I'll add it to my list. But for now, forget blocking and attack! Make the other block! :)
it's not about blocking per se, it's about not being in the spot where the punch is coming. You do not have the luxury of time engaging in blocking punches from an adversary more powerful than you.
True!
Such an important lesson. Thank you Ando
a very good message :" Fight for a happy life!"
Yes! Keep fighting, my friend!
Very well delivered instruction! 👊💥
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Sensei Ando. I enjoy your videos, you add a sense of humor and a great learning. I laughed through cause I've seen people fight or play like that. Now I know. Thanks. Sensei.
+Mr. Hodges (Tony) Yes, i's definitely something to watch out for. Thanks for the support, sir!
great as always! Thank you Sensei Ando.
+Ketev K Gaming Thank you very much, Ketev!
You are so funny Sensei Ando when you imitate us. Thank you for the lesson of today !
4:08 So sérious advice that's contrast with th mimic' part. Love it !
I'm not just imitating other people... I'm imitating me! Thanks, Phoelipe! :D
Well presented, I'm totally subscribing!
Welcome to the channel, sir!
I let sensi Ando raise me in martial arts 🙏 And I swear am getting better on a daily .. Oss Osss sensi !
Great video. NEVER would've thought of this and I'm pretty sure I do it.
+1128ca Mbq Awesome. Everybody does it, but fewer fix it! Good for you!
i wish ur channel was more popular. ur a way better teacher than most other channels.
+Patrick Quinn I appreciate that, Patrick. Thanks!
Way better than that fightTIPS guy, for sure.
+fightTIPS You got that right! Little known fact about Shane Fazen.... thanks to a strict diet of raw cat milk and a little-known herb shared with him during his travels in Thailand by a magical Muay Thai master (his words), Shane is able to recover from knife wounds on contact and fight with the strength of a man half his true age... of 58.
Yeah, I was warned about that in judo (that's why we keep our heads tucked in). I hit the heavy bag too, but I do tend to bob my head. Well, not anymore..
+Rahsaan Brown That makes my day, Rahsaan. Happy training!
Gracias Sensei por sus recomendaciones.
+David Bilbao You're very welcome, sir!
Very true Sensei. Now that my balance isn't 100% and apparently I'm anemic too Core and Head strength are very important to me!
+Erin Brooks That's a great point, Erin! Even without medical complications, we're all getting older… and that means our balance will be tested. Having good movement habits and a strong head position will help immensely! Keep kicking! :-)
Great presentation I've never bobbled like that lol sure makes a lot of sense and now i see another opening Thanks
+chris none Thanks for the comment, Chris!
I think you just caught a mistake of mine, I'll have to check it in the gym. Thanks, great vids + great info!
+pornstarnarek Great! Check it out. Happy training!
yeah, I've been doing that mistake. Thank you Sensei Ando
+Adil Bundhoo You bet! Thanks for watching!
I think im making the same mistake. This video makes me realise this problem
+Aike de Heer I still do it sometimes, too!
thank you sir
Lol Sensei ando , You are the best!!! Thanks ☺️
+Yip Yoda Ha! I'll take it! Thank you! :)
love your videos
+idontwantyourcoffee Thank you very much!
Great video Ando.I was wondering,how many martial arts you were learning?
+Carl Johnson I've been plugging away for 30 years, so I've experimented with a few styles. You can find my bio here: www.senseiando.com/about-ando-mierzwa/ But in short, started in TKD and Aikido, dabbled in Karate, stayed with Kung Fu and BJJ. Thanks for the question!
Man I wish I would of had you for a trainer, your a lot nicer then my old coach lol. Keep up the videos 💯
Will do! Thanks. Happy training!
Good video.... waiting for next video
+Nithin gupta I know I'm slow... but I'm working on it! :)

great video learned a lot
Thanks for saying so, Peter!
Great videos
Thank you!
That face ando makes on the Thumbnail, its perfect xD
HA! 😄Thanks!
Thanks for video
Thank you for watching!
one of the most important lessions meny have missed ...
Right? Keeping your spine in alignment makes a big difference. Thanks for the comment!
thank you sir!!
You bet!
I've noticed the same thing with people doing crunches start bobbing their head feeling like their body is moving.
Right? It's very common. I do it, too, if I'm not careful!
These are the most hilariously good videos... awesome
Thank you very much!
nice tips .
Thank you, sir!
Gracias !!!
My pleasure, sir!
very good tips master Ando! you don't want to end up fighting like ace ventura pet detective! !!
Ha! Lahoo..zaher! :)
any tips on how not to get dizzy and disoriented after doing spinning/moving kicks? i can two or three before starting to see my opponent use shadow clone jutsu.
Well, for starters, I wouldn't do two or three spinning moves in a row! Of course, the old dancer trick of "spotting" works well... you know, where you fix your eyes on one spot, then when you turn around, put your eyes back on that spot right away. Outside of that, just keeping your head straight and practice!
Hmm. Thinking.
In tennis your head is there to point your eyes to the ball. You have to keep your eyes on the ball all the time for incoming balls to judge the speed, distance, height and outgoing the same to calibrate your hand if you hit too hard or too soft, too high or too low, too left or too right.
The head movement in tennis is purposeful.
True!
BIG HUG FROM BRAZIL!!!
+Giulliano Wait.. is this a set up for a takedown? :)
+Ando Mierzwa :p
what should i do since my shoulder got sprain in a fight awhile back any techniques to fix it and any techniques to prevent it from happening again
+Tajay Walker Sorry for your pain, sir. First let it heal completely before training again! I was always impatient and that just held me back longer. Second, I;'m not a doctor, but I share one tip that helped me for shoulders in this video: th-cam.com/video/hke1_4J50TA/w-d-xo.html Happy healing!
You always have funny examples
Life is funny. I just admit it!
Would you mind if I add a card to the 'head movement' video I have coming out tomorrow that directs people to this video of yours?
I would be honored! Thanks for thinking of me.
Ando Mierzwa thank you! Always happy to show support for great content. This is the video, if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/fh8sQsy0V8w/w-d-xo.html
A good example for this, watch at how stiff mike tyson keeps his head and neck as hes doing his head movements. The movement all comes from his hips, legs, and back, not his head or neck actually. Head movement might be a slightly misleading term.
Great point! 👍🏼
Spells a great martial artist; attentiveness, seeing inconsistencies...
+Callisto813 It really is the little things. Thanks for commenting!
I've never tried it. Only watch it on TH-cam. I think the best sport for developing head movement is Headis. It's a real sport. It's like ping pong, but played with a volleyball-like ball using your head like in soccer.
Offensively for headbutts it would be awesome. And I think it would be awesome for defense and evasion too.
Look up Headis. It has the monopoly on head movement.
Going back to Mystery of Chessboxing, where the Kung Fu Master disguises himself as a Chinese Chess player (they always do that, In Iron Monkey, he disguised himself as a doctor/pharmacist, in The Karate Kid, he disguised himself as a handyman, Yoda disguised himself as a tiny elf, etc . . .)
Look at the King in Chinese Chess, 將. It is like a head that moves inside a small area, bobbing and weaving and using the Advisors 士 like shoulders to hide behind ala Floyd Mayweather. In Japlanese that character 將 is Sho as in Shogi, the game of the Shogun. Also in Sho' Nuff, The Shogun of Harlem.
Headis has a monopoly on head movement.
Interesting! I will look that up!
Thanks I am doing the same mistake
It's natural! :)
Can you make punching bag practice without a boxing bag
You can hit other things, if that's what you mean.
Is it ok to dodge punches and constantly moving your head(not whipping your head) and slipping?
Anything you do on purpose is okay... it's the habits that you aren't aware of that can be trouble! So, head movement is crucial, yes!
Whipping the head around makes it harder for you to judge the movement of attacker as you have to separate your changing perspective from their apparent motions.
+annoyed707 Great point! It's like fighting drunk. Thanks!
can you do a video on how to control your strength cause i don't want to kill my sparing partner due to internal bleeding or something
+t matson Good lord, man! How hard are you hitting your training partners? If you're really not able to tell, stick to the bag for now. Just imagine you're hitting yourself. Then do unto others as you would have them do to you!
i never thought about this😂
Hope it helps!
Ando Mierzwa helps a lot.thanks for your unique content
@@mohammadmahdishafiee7996 My pleasure! Thanks for the comment!
Lmao. So true. Thanks Sensei.
Thanks for the comment, Rodney!
oh my god ive been doing this for six years and my coach never noticed
Better late than never! 👍🏼
''Thanks'' to my migraine, now I can perfectly tell wheter I move my head or not. I guess that there's always a good side to everything.
That's a great way to look at it! Sorry for your pain.
This is why it's important to slow techniques down.
+BMWJBA Agreed! Thanks!
sir my weight is 80 so when i kick its not balace...how to improve balance
Good posture and proper alignment always help. But like anything else, it comes down to practice. Slow and steady wins the race!
Good video. Made me think much deeper.
The Mirror Universes, ala Star Trek.
The Mirror Universes of Dance and Martial Arts, with the bridge universe of sports.
Some things are common to all 3 parts of the Mirror Universes.
Somethings are bad in the mirror universe are good in the other mirror universe.
Swinging your head wildly, bad in Rocky, good in Flashdance for self expression. I seriously thought the dancer in Flashdance was gonna snap her neck!
When I watch dance, I have a dyslexia. I can appreciate the sophistication of dance, but I don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me. I only understand it if it has a counterpart in the martial universe. I'm a chess player.
It is OK. I am happy with my dyslexia. I know things. Important things. Like why is a butterfly powdery? The powder sticks the spider's web and the butterfly flies free. I know the endless offense and defenses of Nature, the endless chess game of Nature.
Flashdance! HA! 😄
Where did u get your gi I love it
Is there a link
It's from Bold Look. Then I cut the sleeves and added the patch. Thanks!
Ando Mierzwa thanks
True dat. "Head" movement isn't about moving your neck, it's about getting your head to move
+mc swagger Whoa... did everybody hear that? A truth bomb just went off! Thank you, sir!
+Ando Mierzwa Hahaha. One of the genuine fun guys around here.
+mc swagger Ha! Well, that's two of us who think so! :)
+Ando Mierzwa lulz. nailed it. Give your number to the Modern Family directors. Phil might need an older brother with a karate background.
+mc swagger Damn. You had to say "older" brother. I'm three years younger than Phil. That's it... I'm dying my hair. ;)
now im not sure if i ever did that :S
Ha!
sir i did fun like this and i just jerked my neck while looking down...got sprain in neck...lol...cant breathe if i move to right side
You train and play hard! Hope you feel better! 😁
If you think excess head movement is a good idea, give your head a shake. Or don't.
+annoyed707 Right. One shake should be enough to convince anyone!
it's the simple things that we forget..Im a bubblehead for sure
Not anymore! Happy training!
Daddy ! Sensei ando is making fun of me 🥋🥊👍😘 and I don't bobbhead like idiots
HA! 😄 We all do it sometimes!
you look like Mads Mikkelsen :0
Hey, that's a new one! Way to think outside the box!
Should I nod my head in agreement with this video?
Ha! Just once. 😁
Riddle: I took your advice and didn't move my head with an attack but then it didn't do any damage and didn't hit my target. Why?
+Jim Giant Man, I can't figure that one out.
+Ando Mierzwa Headbutt.
+Ando Mierzwa In all seriousness though I have noticed myself making the mistake in your video in the past and it's really good advice.
+Jim Giant HA! Now I get it! Whew. That one was going to keep me up all night.
I would say that i'm 50/50 because I turn my head to get it out of the centre line.
That would be bobbling on purpose, so keep it up! :)
So the tip was, "use your head, do not loose your head." xD
Perfect! 😁
I just feel stupid when i whip my head. XD
It definitely doesn't feel cool! :-)
You called me a what? >:(
Not you. Everybody else. 😁
Use your head, don't use your head
😁👍🏼
whip my hair back and forth...not
Looks cool... but no. :)
I'm whipping my head my neighbour saw me
HA! 😄
Dude looks like a white Barack Obama
+Brandon Lee Obama, Ben Stiller, and the Travago guy. Top three!
