True. Or someone like me. I had a pretty bad 'quarter life crisis'. I was unhappy because I tended to avoid problems rather than face problems. A friend of mine (who happened to major psychology) mentioned 'boxing for therapy'. Glad I took boxing class. It helps me to have the 'face it head on' mentality.
Yeah i am pretty strong, but for some reason i think that they’re hiding there real strength and that they’re not even trying, so I’m scared that if I punch them they’ll come with 5x times more or that they’ll come after school
You can't become an able fighter just by looking at fake punches. This is just 1 small step of martial arts training to prepare for sparring. Training with sparring is what allows people to stand up for themselves.
Cheers mate, I'm black belt and still scared of punches. When I was younger I competed in a lot of tournaments and came first with ease as I would not get hit but after lockdown (I'm now 14) I joined tournaments again and would get hit in the face and lost a lot of my tournaments because I was scared to get hit. I'll do these techniques and hopefully overcome my fear
Yea I had this problem to so I’ll give some advice in sparring your not trying to kill each other so when going in if you get hit it won’t be terrible also have confidence and keep your guard up these things eventually become good habits
I was in a similar situation, a tip, is throw jabs in the gloves, it will pressure your opponent to come at you, then you counter attack. So you don't have to commit too much to the offensive
Same here I’m a boxer and one of the dudes on my time used to kick box and he has more experience so I kinda get a little overwhelmed when we spar and the first couple times we sparred it was good but lately he’s been kinda beating on me and getting me good because I haven’t been fully there while sparring and I think it’s cuz after we had sparred this one time he got a good hook on me and I most definitely felt it so I feel like I’ve just been kinda scared of getting hit and just been playing more evasive but I know I just gotta get in the ring and do what I gotta do just focus on my performance wether it’s good or bad
i went to my first mma match not afraid of getting punched.. i ended up with a black eye lol next fight i went with a lot more focus on protecting my face.. my face was clean lol fear is good, i suggest if ur inexperience to not ignore ur fear..
You are right, the fear is your friend. The healthy fear. This video was geared more towards people whose fear paralyzes or stops them from training and sparring properly. As I said in the video, it is advisable to develop a striking style that doesn't get you punched too much.
I promise you, if you stay in mma very long youre gonna get hit again, whether you are afraid of it or not. I suggest you learn to both take a punch and roll with a punch.
I've had a black eye before, but that shit was a joke compared to when I scratched my cornea. NEVER get a scratched cornea, it's the most torturous pain and it's constant, lasting a good week at most. Always be very aware, alert and careful when touching your face! If you do happen to get one, keep your eye moist, and it will heal much quicker, wish I've known that a couple years ago. Also, do wear an eye patch and tape the eye shut when going to bed at night. Without taping the eye shut, when you wake up first thing in the morning and open your eye, you'll feel extreme pain, so keep it shut during bed time. That shit was a bitch and I'm careful to this day. lol The only type of pain worse is tooth pain. FUCK tooth pain. I'd rather break a bunch of my ribs or get beat up, or both.
I wish to have been prepered for sparing like this... My kickboxing trainer just beet me up each time on spparing even when he knwe I'm a begginer, your lessons sounds much clever ! Unfortunaltly I have allready quit kickboxing... :(
I like how you break things down so simply. Im looking for a beginners MMA class in Las Vegas, it'd be cool to find one with you're type of training style.
Useful tips for me. I had a pretty bad 'quarter life crisis'. I was unhappy because I tended to avoid problems rather than face problems.

It's great to hear that it helps. I always called mma training "my therapy" which it can be in many ways. From getting over fears of actual physical conflict to getting more self-confident and getting your ego destroyed in training, and other effects too, combat sports offer many phycological benefits, if practiced in the right environment.
@@MMACoach79 Yes Sir. Combat training has improved me spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially. (I am sure it has helped million other people, too.)
I read a comment once saying “no matter how much you close your eyes the monsters won’t go away” ever since I read that comment I don’t close my eyes or flinch anymore
Good techniques for conditioning. I will give the gloves to my wife and she can throw punches at me as she is the scariest person i know. I would rather not get hit in the face but it is inevitable. I just except the fact that if i want to train and/ or fight, i must throw punches and take them too. Before i go into a sparing match i take a moment for some mental preparation and face the reality that i will get hurt at some point by someone either slightly or badly depending on who is in front of me and the goal of the sparing. Then just step forward, get involved and learn. For me i have found that getting punched in the face only gets easier with the exceptence that it will happen if you put the gloves on and step in to the situation. But saying all of that exceptence won't stop a good punch from hurting.
You shouldn't spar with people that want to hurt you or knock you out. Only with the ones that can control themselves. Save the knockouts for the octagon or the ring.
MMA Coach sorry i think i might have explained myself wrong. Everyone at the gym is respectful and full of sportsmanship. We are like a family. We don't want to hurt each other. But sometimes it happens. We push eachother to do better. We don't try and dominate each other with our egos. My apologies for giving the wrong impression. And i hope i have caused no harm.
I want to learn drills for MMA only involves body/body movement, such as bjj sit up drills etc. There is not much about this content, can you make a video which teaches drills for mma? Thank you, this video also helped me.
The overview video of getting up in MMA is planned, but I just don't know when I will do it. In this video I do show some get-ups, but not in detail: th-cam.com/video/xg_CijWVRrI/w-d-xo.html I do have both the preparational exercises for escapes and drills for getting up in the defense part of my instructional called "Total Ground & Pound Blueprint" which you can currently get for a 50% off on my website: mmacoach.net/total-gnp-blueprint/
You're afraid of getting hit because you dont have the skills to block yet. When you know what to do, you will not fear anything. You shouldn't learn to "tough up", you should focus on mastering the skills of slipping and blocking the punches. You should not have the mindset of, "this guy can't knock me out, because my head is too hard and I'm used to getting punched." You SHOULD have the mindset of, "this guy can't knock me out, because my skills are good enough to avoid getting hit."
bjj mma fighter Where exactly did I advocate toughening up the head in this video? Did you even watch it until the end? Re-watch it (with sound) and you will realize that my message is completely opposite of what you think it is.
Chill dude. The message was not applied to you. In the gyms I've been to, it seems like young upcoming fighters without much experience are taking a lot of shots without even trying to avoid them, and I believe they want to let people know that they can take them, maybe they look up to Justin Gaethje or Nate Diaz or something. And in some gyms, they train people to take heavy shots, they make a drill where you have to stand in your guard without being allowed to hit back, while someone is hitting them with full force punches, to make them "tough". Trust me I didnt make this comment to YOU, it was just an extra advice. I hate the fact that young fighters dont try to avoid getting hit.
The natural reaction of flinching when someone pretends to hit me is a problem for me. I feel I can pretty much stand ground if it goes South and a real fight breaks out or if they get close and personal in my face breaking the invisible barrier but can never avoid the flinching. This seems like a good way to overcome that fear.. If you flinch at fake punch, the opponent pretty much won already.
No, it doesn't have the same effect because you know that you are not going to actually do any damage to yourself so it's impossible to be afraid of "fake hitting" yourself
Everytime I spar a heavier person amd end up getting hit with mad power shots which always puts me off my combos. I'm trying to learn to commit even if I get countered with a heavy shot
@@mertmertylol7007 yeah bro look at my channel im actually a decent boxer now id say lol as humbe as i can be i stuck at it had a few amateur fights and was in the north west finals lost on split descision tjough. The answer to the question is as simple as just stick at it and become sick lol
I can hit and bang but as soon as someone throws it don't have instinct to cover and I'm do venerable to get hit I can't stop closing my eyes for a second and putting my hands straight inffont of me
Tbh boxing isn't the reason why I'm watching this, does anyone else have a problem of flinching in football/soccer when the ball goes a bit close to your face? Please tell me I'm not the only one-
My problem is the exact opposite. I feel too excited when I get punched and laugh hysterically, I can't think properly so it makes me punch, block and evade too wildly.
But with first drill i will loose my reflex and then knock out i think that better drill than that is too let him punch you for real not too hard from time to time randomly just too be aware but not afraid also
You haven't been trained to do so. Start gradually with the exercises in the video. Your partner should first slowly punch in front of your face. When you're comfortable with that, increase speed.
When I'm sparring with boxing gloves I feel very light on my feet and I throw a lot of punches, but as soon as I put MMA gloves on I feel very hesitant and cant let my hands go, I always end up going for a takedown.
@@girumm47art It's from all the rubbing against your ear. Take for example wrestling, having one ear on a person creates friction. The cartilage seperates from te skin which cuts the blood supply. The blood then comes in between the skin and the cartilage and creates the cauliflower. Note that it takes around a week to harden, you can still drain it in the meantime but it will never look the same.
just read this on a line from a comic i was reading it says “you may be nervous but you’re not scared” damn that hits hard, now even if my mom throws things at me i dont even flinch jwbsjsbudnshsbs

Quiet kids watching: 99%
Why would you want to kill your natural reaction to flinch/move out of the way, when a punch is coming at you? isnt it better to have that instinct ?
Whenever I try drills with people it works for 10 seconds then they get competitive and it always turns into a sparring match.
That's common but wrong. Your coach needs to calm things down and direct the drill.
