That’s good man owning up to it. He’s right tho you did show something pretty good and probs one of my fav I’ve seen. Also love ur content Shane been watching since I was 14 much love 🤙
@@metrolinamartialarts Mike frequently does "circumstantial kung fu." I've seen him bong sao, lan sao, etc. Just goes to show that the body only does so many things.
It's also a baiting posture in Silat, with around 20 techniques done out of drawing the opponents strike, some use the legs, but mostly upper body. More specifically the Pokeleon Cimindi system.
Me and my teammates met Gabriel varga at a local tournament 2 weeks ago he’s a legend in my town Wich is where he’s from .he’s a great guy and everyone looks up to him
I love these collabs with Gabriel Varga, Icy Mike, , Sensei Seth, Shane and Kevin-some of my favorite TH-camrs all together! Any chance of Getting Jeff Chan in on the action?
I enjoy the psychological side of traps, conditioning folks to respond a certain way then exploiting it (kick low 2-3X, then feint+punch, etc.). Lures and counter by drawing. Create an expectation or the appearance of weakness, wait for the overcommitment, then take advantage. But generally, my approach is "aggressive counter-fighting." Basically, I stay offensive and pepper out shots, they don't need to be particularly threatening, just enough to push and overwhelm someone for a sec, then create short beats where I stop. People then naturally try to answer back immediately. You bang-bang-bang....wait...then bang (usually with a slip, parry, etc. - I dig split entry especially). It sounds funny, but there's a great playful side to this in sparring and such, too. I really enjoy doing goofy stuff or feigning that I'm more tired or beat up than I am - then resuming regular intensity after they've dropped their guard a bit or come a' hunting.
I'm definitely adding these to my Kadena de Mano and wrestling! I'd argue that trapping is supposed to be approached with an attitude like what we see here.
Good for Varga too since striking in the clinch is illegal in Karate Combat unless it's on the break. But striking while trapping/controlling the arms is legal in Karate Combat.
Kevin's parry to pin is a lot like my favorite. My fav is pak sao with lead hand, pin the elbow with the rear hand (might also Tyson hop to the lead side), then I come over the pinned arm with an elbow killshot. (Does that make sense?) I have hit this multiple times in sparring and its SUPER satisfying. As a variant, instead of the elbow you can shoot your arm to the neck and enter the clinch with great advantage or you can shoot the arm across his neck for leverage and then sweep. I also like to bounce from a pak sao into an elbow with the same hand. Or from a frame to a spearing elbow against a wrestler.
Cool discussion guys, thanks! Should be noted that the Thai "jut" is technically a trap..or really any parry+fire/riposte, etc. We can widen the concept and look at kickboxing as "trapping" the opponent's perception (fakes/feints, etc), "grappling" with his anticipation. But man you can really see it in the clinch in MMA, with elbows, knees, etc...controlling limbs etc directly becomes super important there
Love it! For fun, some Kung fu techniques some of them resemble to my knowledge: Mike's: Cloud Cover Palm from Shaolin Xiao Hong Quan Shane: Pulling Hand/other names from wing chun, taiji, lots of stuff Ed's and Kevin's: Need no explanation lol Gentleman at 4:18 whose name I don't know: Single Palm Change/Dragon Palm from Baguazhang (coolest one imo)
Edit: I realize wing chun has it's own technique called pulling hand (lap sau) that is different, I was referring to what it's called in shuai jiao/long fist
The last one was a rare concept of Bagua, I was told that the you should be able to use it like the hand, either to strike, sweep, or linking it. It will be super hard to predict if the legs can keep changing like that.
Oh..... wow. Nice ones. The last leg one is something my bagua / destreza (spanish swordsmanship 16-19th cenutry) coach showed me long long time ago. I sometimes pull it off with short weapons, leg hook into stab. From low kick feint, or change of guard sequence.
Great stuff. Avengers joke in the description reminds me of that ""The most ambitious crossover"-meme and that kinda fits this video too! 😁 I like Lop Sao into Cross or side kick. 😀
Look at how Kamaru Usman knocked out Jorge Masvidal, he used a handtrap to straight right. In Bruce's writings, his handtraps were a quick moment in time; much like how handtraps are used in MMA
That’s exactly right. That’s how we use em in JEET KUNE DO. The strike point itself, is the new block. We design the attacks to obstruct the opponent from using anything. An inside left hand lead on a wide right hand. Orthadox on a southpaw. Southpaw on an orthadox ❤
I got one for you coach. This is applicable to someone who has 'shelled up' or gone into a boxing high guard. Close the distance, place your forearm across their guard horizontally and it will trap their arms/hands. I use it often but I'm still working out the most effective follow-ups ( I'm boxing based ). So far I've just been using a right hook to the body.
Tip on trapping its not always about catching the other guys hand because on a jab its almost impossible but rather than chasing the opponents hands you can attack and force them to defend that establishes the bridge and from there you can convert it into a trap. Top position is the hand position you wanna gain in these exchanges. Trapping is like playing chess where you taking away his pieced and forcing them to move until they cant move or have nothing to threaten you with rather.
Some of my favorite traps aren't traps as much as set-ups, one of them is that I like to do the Wonderboy where I lean forward a bit with low hands to draw a strike to the head then fade back into an intercepting side-kick. One of the ones I use more often though, is I'll do a kinda Wing-Chun style cross step check to the shin when someone's coming forward to throw off their timing a bit, then I immediately follow up with punches.
Great video and great collaboration. Just a small issue Ed, the music is a bit too loud in my opinion. But I love the information, the video idea and the fun everyone was having!
First time I ever kick boxed. I was supposed to spar another teenage green belt, but secretly my sensei who thought I was getting too big for my britches had planned with the kickboxing coach to have me spar an older green bet who had been an experienced amateur boxer. The dude opened up with a full power overhead right and that set the tone. I wound up breaking his nose in the second round. The memorable part of it was since this guy had very little kicking experience kicking every time his coach shouted for him to kick or even to throw a particular punching combination I'd do it first and hit him with it. It actually made a difference.
Varga's slick kick captures/reaps are a common staple of Northern Gongfu/Sanshou. They drop a lot of Thai Boxers on their ass with those. I'm guessing he spent a lot of time sparring Sanshou/Sanda guys. Also, good to see a wrestler talk about their thoughts on traps... Wing Chun and FMA blend together well with wrestling.
I encountered this for the first time in 1986 or so on a kung fu video and drilled i tin the air for what seemed like ever. I've never gotten around to using it in sparring but I do see it in Sanshou now and then.
Such a cool little community all you guys have among martial arts enthusiasts. Im quite jealous. Nothing like that where I live, BUT we do have paradise beaches and forests etc. There is enough people in my area though, like its pretty populated.. it could support a club concept like this. so is that RKM Icy Mike's place? do you know how he started it?
The one cliff does is also in capoeira. I usually see it from a lower grounded position. It was one of the combos I had to practice for my graduation 2yrs ago.
That was cool seeing all you guys together in one video. Nice BONG SAO block by HARD 2 HURT. (I’ll stop by) 😉🤛plus SENSAI SETH and METROLINA martial arts. That was off the hook. Good idea guys. Kevin Lee. What can we say. 🐉🤝☮️we support you guys. 💯
"I'm stealing that" his sidekick is pretty perfect. I've always wanted to grab a wrist and spin someone into sidekick to the hip and just knock someones feet out completely without really hurting them like a movie kick.
A lot of Shaolin they bring the foot closer and try to grab it in front of them from like a crescent kick. Bruce's warm up in Enter The Dragon looked like he wanted to scoop it from behind, straight from horse stance to grabbing his ankle with the opposite hand so if his right leg is front snatch the oppositions left foot. I think they're both important, I really wanna test it.
Not the most sport friendly trap, but standing on/stomping on someone’s toes is a surprisingly effective bridge. It’s funny how even a light pressure people just want to look down. Really good lead for a “cheap shot” as well.
One of my favorites is to feint a jab or a cross to bring their guard up, then throw an axe kick that deliberately targets their hands. The leg coming real high usually keeps their hands high, until the kick yanks them down and away leaving them wide open for the big overhand that's coming right behind the kick. It's real fun to land, but usually only works once, maaaybe twice in any given set of rounds 😅
I feel like there is potential with Hand trap systems as MMA Ground and pound defense. Currently we see a lot of blocking; holding hands up to obstruct the strike; and general head movement (attempts) But hand trapping could potentially add a lot more counters from the bottom
the critique of wing chun / hand trapping systems, is that people move in and out of that range too quickly for those trapping combos to be effective. but if you're stuck on the bottom, and your opponent isn't actively trying to sub you. then they're also stuck in that ideal trapping range too!
It would be really cool to see a video on how footwear effects kicks. How slow do steel toe boots make you. Do sneakers cushion your attack Do hard leather/thick leather boots do more damage etc
@@metrolinamartialarts thanks. I always think of it when I put my leather combat boots on for hiking. I know they'd help my kicks but I wonder how much
Boots will of course do much more damage than regular sneakers, but you lose some flexibility in the ankles and they're quite a bit slower if you're not used to the weight. You should always take time to practice using normal clothing/shoes to know your limitations and restrictions that many clothes give you.
@@KickyFut I wear leather combat boots so they're not very heavy and ankle mobility isn't a factor because I'd use toe kicks with the thick/rubber. I know they'd help but I'd like to see some kind of test to see how much. Also steel toe are slow and heavy but would the extra damage be worth it ?
Definitely cool to have a coach that uses code words like "whopper" "and "zing um". Left kick is "Judy" and right kick is "Garland". Then you can even have safe words like if the coach says "GET HIM or LETS GO" at the start that means its a false command and not to listen to it, its just to mind control your opponent. Then you can turn false commands into the trap. Like if the coach keeps saying "GET HIM, HEAD KICK" Its just to make the enemy think about headkicks then the fighter can do a takedown or whatever. Also the fighter himself can use keywords as a mind trap. Like the fighter keeps saying "Whopper" and then doing a leg kick. In the 3rd round the fighter then says "whopper" and switches it to a flurry of punches and the enemy is expecting a leg kick. You can also do this by slapping your chest and then doing side kicks. After the 3rd or 4th one every time you slap your chest the enemy is going to be expecting a side kick. BUILD HIS APPREHENSION. You can also use clicking noises or whatever the hell you can think off to mindshift your opponent. Hell you could even pretend to cough and "stop defending yourself" to lure them in.
For Gabriel Varga's technique on catching the teep, why do you pull it to the side? I was already taught to hold it against the abs so you have 3 points of contact.
the wrestling guys trap is interesting, but beware of someone who is going to kick or knee you on the way in...the trapping hand should be ready to protect from a knee if the other guy is fast enough
Also Bruce Lee considered double and single leg takedowns as "trapping the legs or hips" and head control as "trapping the head", etc! Good stuff though
i hoped for some southpaw combos setups like 1 to the head hard right hook to the body, for like 2 times and then go for 1 to the head get low right hook to the head
It's a simple one, hardly even worthy of the name, but new or tired people tend to overcommit to parrying the jab. So you feed them 3 jabs in a row. On the first two, you condition the parry, then on the third jab, you roll your forearm around the parry and hit 'em with a hook. Works even better in a mirrored lead, because the distances are shorter than they appear.
Traps are the funnest part of martial arts. The best Brazilian jiu-jitsu match I ever saw was Marious pujanowski the world's strongest man. He grabbed the guy by the hand yanked him off his feet and pulled him into the other fist it was brutal.
My favorite is to turn a little bit on myself, and punish my opponent from approching by thowing staights punches and teep/frontkicks that aren't actually straights.
Whilst i love the idea of Trapping, how would you be able to apply this to point sparring contests with light-no contact? O am i trying to put a square peg in a round hole?
If we're the Avengers of Martial Arts TH-cam - Mike is Nick Fury - who is everyone else?
Are we going with Endgame Avengers with Dr. Strange, Spiderman and the Guardians of the Galaxy or the core team?

Thanks much!

That first trap Mike did us straight out of shaolin. Leave an opening. Double tap and backfist. Pure traditional kung fu.

The 3rd point of contact is still there - it's his hip. He pulls it to the side so you can't re-teep
Wow that was a lot of great stuff.
Definitely! Some of it is already going into my repertoire
@@metrolinamartialarts mine as well.....love the leg trap at the end
@@ianbrewster8934 I almost didn't include it because of how good it is
@@metrolinamartialarts so glad you did
That trap Shane did is one I used the most in sparring.
I love it
Just amazing
Thanks!!
Kevin Lee too 😮👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He was there!
Nice!!!
🤜💥🤛
the wrestling guys trap is interesting, but beware of someone who is going to kick or knee you on the way in...the trapping hand should be ready to protect from a knee if the other guy is fast enough
1 month white belt bjj noob, but I would’ve expected the baiting 3/4 guard from full mount, then sit and truck/ninja roll. Fun and flashy at least :P
Hahaha no bjj in this one. Next time!
Also Bruce Lee considered double and single leg takedowns as "trapping the legs or hips" and head control as "trapping the head", etc! Good stuff though
HIA or foot!
would love to see more martial arts youtubers like Jesse Enkamp and maybe Wonderboy on the next Collab. Great content as always.
That would be cool - I'd love to do more with more people!
I need to try Cliff's kick trap, that shit looks awesome
Dude it's too good.
Shanes like 'I was hitting the dab pen, what are we talking about?'
🤣🤣🤣
I'm DIGGING the ff7 music when Kevin comes on.
🔥🔥🔥
i hoped for some southpaw combos setups like 1 to the head hard right hook to the body, for like 2 times and then go for 1 to the head get low right hook to the head
Maybe next time
My fav trap is dropping my hands and then throw fast jab, or drop hands and make my opponent drop hands and then throw fast jab
That's a great one
"What's your favorite trap?"
"Pulls out a pic of anime guy with school girl costume on *
xD
Oh lord 😭🤣🤣
honestly surprised Sense Seth or Icy Mike didn't make the joke. Probably wouldn't make the cut anyway 🤣
@@hourglas it would make for a weird cut away 🤣
A meeting of the minds one would say.
That's pretty good!
good content 👍
Thank you!
It's a simple one, hardly even worthy of the name, but new or tired people tend to overcommit to parrying the jab. So you feed them 3 jabs in a row. On the first two, you condition the parry, then on the third jab, you roll your forearm around the parry and hit 'em with a hook. Works even better in a mirrored lead, because the distances are shorter than they appear.
Still counts
That ending is un skippable bababa
😅🤣
2:03 = the moment I finally realised the hauntingly familiar acoustic track was Chōzetsu ☆ Dynamic from Dragon Ball Super 😆
😅🤣🤣🤣
Can I ask wtf was going on? I think the only person who wasn’t there is wonderboy
Just a meetup. Nothing special
Omg it only seems like yesterday when I saw blackie chan's first fight, now he teaching me tips
It was a great tip, too!
Traps are the funnest part of martial arts. The best Brazilian jiu-jitsu match I ever saw was Marious pujanowski the world's strongest man. He grabbed the guy by the hand yanked him off his feet and pulled him into the other fist it was brutal.
Dang
J'ai adoré 👍👍👍
Merci
Heck of a room to be in
For sure
Sub. 🙌🏽

a moment of appreciation for using Naruto-Wind remix for music in the background. ;)
Thanks so much!!
I like to grab the jab buckling it at the elbow . Then I can switch step elbowing with my right at the same time as throwing them .
Sounds brutal
@@metrolinamartialarts most jjj is lol
My favorite is to turn a little bit on myself, and punish my opponent from approching by thowing staights punches and teep/frontkicks that aren't actually straights.
Very cool
@@metrolinamartialarts ^^
Whilst i love the idea of Trapping, how would you be able to apply this to point sparring contests with light-no contact? O am i trying to put a square peg in a round hole?
If you can get them shelling up - you can start to apply some trapping. But it's hard if they know they're safe.
ALL OF MY INFLUENCES (- the karate nerd 😢) ARE IN THIS ONE VID!!!! Thanks to 1 YEAR of my journey!
Woo!!! 1 year down the rest of your life to go!
