A good class is measured by what the student retains, not what the instructor covers. So one thing is king. The turning back kick coaching video...yeah man! I’ve been working on the points you made in that video and BOOM! It has totally transformed that technique for me (1st deg blackbelt in shotokan karate). thanks so much coach! .
I'm an instructor, and I can safely tell you that it really depends on the situation on how many techniques to tech in a class. Sometimes I'll stick to one technique and have the student work on that for a while to make sure he gets it down, and sometimes I'll teach 5 or 6 techniques just to start on the acclimation process with no expectation to master or even remember the technique. I do that on forms too. Sometimes after the student has learned the first part of the form, I'll have him follow me on the entire form for acclimation reasons so he'll get a feel for it even though he won't remember the moves. Same with multiple techniques. Because I teach him several techniques one after another, he won't remember them, but the mental imprint is there, and that's important too. So next week he'll be like "oh that was from last week!"
The kung fu class i used to go to had 2 classes a week... One on hard floor, one on soft floor(because of how the turns work in the gym... ) The hard floor class was basically 15 minutes of conditioning, 15 minutes of basic striking techniques repeated over and over again... 15 minutes of forms... 30 minutes of kick boxing sparring and 15 minutes of "cooldown and flexibility" The soft floor day we would do 15 minutes of conditioning, 15 minutes of basic strikes... 15 minutes of grappling... The rest ofnthe class we would spar... First with boxing, then kick boxing, and last with sanda rules...
This video is a textbook class. You answer 1 question. You look at it from different perspectives, couch it in examples and experience, show the usefulness and pitfalls. You show how to be flexible in focus vs generalities. This video teaches by answering the question and by serving as an example. By the way, that side/back kick video is saved for when I can devote full attention, i believe it deserves and needs full attention.
I really liked that example you gave with the basic kicks if Taekwondo, it really opened my eyes and gave me a better understanding if how basics build upon eachother! Thank you for all the great content Ramsey, I always look forward to seeing your take on various martial arts topics :)
It really depends on the class. That means learning the students and how best they learn. For example most kids can focus on one technique for 5 min and get bored. While an adult lasts longer. Increasing difficulty works with higher belys. lower belys can be discouraged. I alway like teaching basics. Basics can bore kids unless you make it their idea. Being a beginer coach/teacher can be hard. You are trying to find your teaching style and learning how everyone learns best. Stick to basics until you have a feel of the class. Teenagers seem to love jump/spinning techniques or whatever to show off (the boys at least) Again some generalisations here. I know an adult who can handle doing a technique for 4 min and then gets bored and sloppy unless you constantly nit pick his technique. Not always possible in a large class scenario. Some students are fine with minor corrections. Repetition is good then. Some need positive reinforcement. Do it well once and let the student know then move on. Sorry babbling past my bedtime.
The commentary on footwork reminds me of Miyamoto Musashi’s comments on footwork in the book of five rings. Also, the final statement resonates deeply with me as i’m a visual communication designer by trade. This idea of simplify when necessary, facilitate always, is so important when working with clients and guiding the process to a creative and functional result.
Got to be honest I fear the one who have trained at least three different kicks 700 times, cause if he only knows one kick, than you know what you have to look out for🤷🏼♂️
Best teacher in BJJ I've so far had focused on teaching one technique (and some common variations and continuations of it) not for one class, but for weeks. E.g. we did collar-sleeve guard, its variations, entries to it, basic submissions from it (mostly the triangle) for a few months straight. Every single time drilled getting the guard and staying in it. I understand that some people get a bit antsy with teaching like that. But I probably learned a lot more from that than I've learned from any other teacher. Same teacher also runs seminars now and then and on those he usually focuses on the same thing for a few seminars straight. E.g. last time was two day-long seminars, with a few months in-between them, doing just omoplata. We did it not for just a single seminar, but for one seminar and then another seminar a little later, was just so, so much more effective than just teaching it for a single seminar. I think the first seminar was a basic overview of omoplata and doing omoplata from closed guard, then the second seminar was hitting omoplata from spider guard.
Human intelligence as in memory. to regular people there are too many moves to learn. Only the fighters are motivated to learn more moves due to higher levels of motivation. For normies it's a waste of time constantly learning new moves every week then forgetting them. It's a balance as classes can get boring and lose students due to too much repetition.
@@boshirahmed Yeah, that's true, though even the pros do tend to drill the basics a lot, a lot, and a lot. In BJJ, it's pretty common for people to focus on just a few techniques per position and those are their go-tos, and what they train by far the most. A bit different in MMA since there's just so many variables and so many different positions to be in. But even, the guard, basic wrestle ups, the jab, the double leg, the roundhouse kick, are drilled a lot more than anything fancy.
Tkd black and jr national silver, my subsequent MMA instructor had to break everything down Barney style for us dimwits. Lucky if we learned more than 1 thing fight-ready per class.
I should put this in your footwork videos instead but since you mentioned it here, I thought I would comment on this one. Could we have more of your footwork videos especially as regards the proper positioning of the feet to strike and dodge with the classic (not yet patented) Ramsey Dewey coaching explanations. You explain them much more clearly than I have ever heard or been able to do myself and showing my beginner friends your basic boxing footwork video was actually more useful to them then my attempting over many hours to show and demonstrate the same thing.
Hey coach, hope you're doing well and staying safe. I wanted to ask about your experiences training "unathletic" people. I tried sparring with a friend the other day who was only able to have a few muay thai lessons before our country (South Africa) went into a lockdown. While we sparred I noticed he was incredibly stiff and very unaware of his body, it almost looked like he was a robot. I did explain that I wasn't going to hurt him and that the strikes will be slow taps but everytime I threw a strike his whole body tensed up. We stopped sparring and I tried to explain some basics to him, about blocking, footwork and how to throw a safe punch but he struggled alot. I'm not a marital arts coach or teacher so I don't know exactly how to help him, but it got me thinking how you personally go about dealing with people who aren't particularly athletic. My friend didn't do any sport in high school and has kept himself healthy by doing some running and jump rope but besides from that he doesn't really have any sports experience. Do you have any stories about someone like this? How do you go about teaching a person about their own body awareness? Look forward to hearing from you, much respect.
Ok, currently within the first 50s of this video, I see a major problem with that question. It's never mentioned what level the class is. Is this an all beginner's class, intermediate, advanced, or mixed? That can have a huge effect on the structure especially if there is only one teacher available. If so you have to balance getting the beginners in shape for the more complicated techniques while still giving attention to the more experienced people, otherwise they're just paying you to be your TA.
Thank you very much Ramsey, that was extremely helpful! You confirmed a lot of what I've already been doing. Your emphasis on the basic techniques is something I will certainly incorporate. If you find yourself ever around Trier in Germany, feel free to join for a practice session in gladiatorial combat ✌
I just watched this before walking my dog and I can say listening to your voice really just makes me feel good like I’m not even a coach but I love hearing you talk and the way you break things down no question here just letting you know you’re doing what you’re doing right
I started coaching my older brother as a means to help him get fit but he also developed a taste for the martial arts stuff I do. So in order to teach him I broke it down from the way my Kickboxing instructor teaches me and the way my MMA instructor teaches me. With grappling, I teach a basic takedown and we practice it. Just that one take down. Then when I feel he's got the takedown in his head, we'll do that takedown but now with either landing into a position or landing and transitioning into a position, then when that's down with do the steps 1 and 2 but now we add a submission on to it. So by the end of that segment he's performed that one takedown, the positioning and the submission for 3 whole rounds. We've had the time to correct things with the takedown, we've had the time to correct things with the positioning and we've had time to work through and understand the submission. When we do striking it's sort of the same thing, it's a short progressive combo where we break down each move and add on the next. First round may just be jabbing, then we'll add a hook to that combo and then maybe a kick and end with pivoting off or disengaging. Through those rounds I get the time to break everything down and it's not too much to register. If there's anything he's struggling with I can focus on that one move until he has a basic understanding of it. Then carry on. I feel that just trying to index the brain with as much technique as you can just turns the student into a cabbage. We'd spar (very lightly on my part) and he'd be stuck trying to remember stuff I'd taught him that day and not knowing what to use or what to do.
I'm not coach or a teacher (at last not martial arts one), but i will risk thesis that after a certain point is more beneficial to "teach" at last two techniques per class - a sets that could be used from the same or almost the same setup and can be used interchangeably, but depending of exact details of circumstances one of them will be easier to do. By such contrast you get to know what really make them work and to what degree. And trough that you learn to make more optimal "decisions". Also, as far as my experience go, in most cases task sparings ("drilling") works better witch two techniques to choose, at last in grappling (and fencing, but that beside the point).
makes sense, like Freddy Roach faciliting Pacquiao's jab making his right arm arguably just as dangerous as his left changing his fighting style completely
Hi Ramsey, Would You please consider the following question and give advise: I am practicing what You would call a conceptual martial art (which involves defending against strikes and holds without actual sparring). I would like to ask my comrades to augment this by having some applied practice after the class. What kind of 15 minutes practice would You suggest for an unsupervised group of 3-4 non-athletic, moderately enthusiastic (I'll try to get them motivated but I can hardly predic the success rate) people with no fight experience? Maybe You could point me to some of Your videos (or any videos for that matter) that according You would fit the purpose?
One good thing is to up the intensity of pair drills, if you do karate for example do your ippon and sanbon kumite with power speed and intent, If you don't do karate search the term and apply to something similar in your martial arts. Another thing again if you do striking is to mix in boxing punches and not only those linear wide obvious totally committed strikes. The point is to be able to react to snapping punches like the jab, and circular punches like the hook and uppercut which are rarely practiced in traditional martial arts.
@@douglasmacneil4474 could you elaborate on your opinion ! Which part do you find hogwash ? In details please, I can't wrap my head around a generic comment like this. Also I'm speaking from experience of the many, if you have an excellent teacher that teach you how to deal with these things then you're in luck.
@@m.a.k.8618 "which are rarely practiced in traditional martial arts" that isn't true. It isn't practiced by charlatans. Every legit traditional school i have trained at train snapping strikes, karate for instance traditionally is all about snap. With your dominant hand forward using it much like the sidekick. And hooks are very common as well, especially check hooks. Conceptual martial arts are not traditional... They are classical. An important difference exists...
Different rulesets allow for more or less variety. More 'complete' styles will require a wider range of technique imo. But, that said, more restricted styles allow for more nuanced techniques. That's why tkd has a million kicks but you only really see variations on teeps and round kicks in k1 or muay thai.
Class 1 technique several variants of that tech and set ups. We learn the tech, then drill tech then pressure test with a game under full resistance then we live spar. You want a good sparing session try and use said tech from multiple sides and direction or you could default to your strengths and learn little from that session.
Question Ramsey are self taught martial artists as good as ones who trained in dojos? I grew up in a rural area with no money for classes so i taught myself alot of things growing up still people dont see me as a real martial artist not even my own family simply because I didn't go to a dojo to learn it.
i just found u iam a singer iam music and your voice got my attn its great and words 2 so keep it up i like that u no a skill its universal once u master a skill u get it u got 2 get on the JOE ROGAN SHOW UFC STUFF
Hi Mr. Ramsey .... I appreciate it if you help with the answers to these questions : 1 - If submission techniques were allowed in a fight ; how would GR and FS wrestlers deal with this situation since there are no submission techniques used in GR and FS wrestling ? 2 - I am under an impression that in submission wresting, only one of three styles is used .... Catch wresting, no gi bjj, and luta livre... Am I wright ? Thank's
bit late to this but ive been train muay thai for 18 months now. the best class I ever had was an hour and a half of jabs only. jab only sparring as well. needless to say, my jab got a whole lot better
I think that you should teach your students everything they need to fight (so your basic punches for boxing for example), then focus on sparring, the result informs the plan for future lessons, only my two cents
I took a few ballroom dancing classes once and I found spending 15 minutes on one step, then 15 minutes on the next step and so on and so on confusing. I would have rather spent 100% of my time on the cha cha till I could do it in my sleep before moving on to the waltz!
You sometimes have Said the ones you've have experienced a little was baguazhang, WING CHUN and taichi Chuan. That's why i've Said familiar like real experience. If you are that's a misunderstood and i would still love to know your thoutghs on the most interesting style of ALL you know
Was it around 4 to 5 THOUSAND reps to make your body learn a move so well, that it happens without thinking? Yeah, doing same techique thousands of times teaches it well, but the number of students seeing it to the end isn't going to be great if any. I personally like katas and kombo-drills over sparring due to beign new and needing to get my body to adjust to combat sports, but since the classes are for all sparring is what more experienced are after.
You should watch more matches and breakdowns about your fighting style, that will help you at least understand what is happening to you. Also pair drills are the key to get better at sparring.
Sounds to me like you are trying to teach/coach too early... Something that I really like about BJJ is that many start teaching classes as early as purple belt (usually under the supervision of their own instructor, whom is usually a black belt), so by the time they become independent teachers they already have a lot of experience teaching. I didn't really have that for a long time, so I decided to teach privately a very small group of people one on one till I had a few years of experience behind me... it was terrible, but enlightening to experience the gigantic chasm of difference between knowing and coaching (that I eventually realized that I prefer to teaching, though I do teach a little here and there). Give yourself some time to screw up, and seeing as you are new just be open about it when you're struggling and be receptive to your students feedback... the good ones won't resent you for it. Bottom-line, trail and error... you're new to teaching so you're gonna make mistakes. Just remember and remind your students that we are all learning and training, and that becoming a teacher/coach/professional/master/etc. doesn't change that fact (the people that think otherwise are most often learning about failure, to accept and grow from it... and usually struggling intensely with either one or both of those parts). Best of luck. :)
Unless your training for cage fighting, I would practice four stand up, four ground, four bjj, and four Muay Thai techniques and practice those over and over and over until they became part of my muscle memory. If you have to think, your dead. Just my 2 cents.
No. Both have spend time drilling in order for brain to remember. Advanced just have ability to understand fundamentals and find it easier to understand additions onto already existing techniques.
1. If you want to use a weapon you better be training on how to use it, otherwise it might backfire and the assailant gets a hold of the weapon and use it against you. 2. People can withstand groin kicks for a short amount of time, in which the will inflict damage on you because of adrenaline. 3. You better be fast, real fast if you want to out run them.
A good class is measured by what the student retains, not what the instructor covers. So one thing is king.
The turning back kick coaching video...yeah man! I’ve been working on the points you made in that video and BOOM! It has totally transformed that technique for me (1st deg blackbelt in shotokan karate). thanks so much coach!

1 - If submission techniques were allowed in a fight ; how would GR and FS wrestlers deal with this situation since there are no submission techniques used in GR and FS wrestling ?
2 - I am under an impression that in submission wresting, only one of three styles is used .... Catch wresting, no gi bjj, and luta livre... Am I wright ?
Thank's
bit late to this but ive been train muay thai for 18 months now. the best class I ever had was an hour and a half of jabs only. jab only sparring as well. needless to say, my jab got a whole lot better
I think that you should teach your students everything they need to fight (so your basic punches for boxing for example), then focus on sparring, the result informs the plan for future lessons, only my two cents
How would your teaching and coaching differ in like a boot camp kind of scenario?
(similar to like military training)
thanks
Do you think it's a good ideo to learn self defence if you have poor eyesight
When will you release your first martial arts audiobook?
I took a few ballroom dancing classes once and I found spending 15 minutes on one step, then 15 minutes on the next step and so on and so on confusing. I would have rather spent 100% of my time on the cha cha till I could do it in my sleep before moving on to the waltz!
Coach I know you are not that familiar with styles but wich Kung Fu style seems more interesting for you? Not better but interesting
Why do you think I’m not familiar with styles?
You sometimes have Said the ones you've have experienced a little was baguazhang, WING CHUN and taichi Chuan. That's why i've Said familiar like real experience. If you are that's a misunderstood and i would still love to know your thoutghs on the most interesting style of ALL you know
Master the fundamentals
Wow
Was it around 4 to 5 THOUSAND reps to make your body learn a move so well, that it happens without thinking?
Yeah, doing same techique thousands of times teaches it well, but the number of students seeing it to the end isn't going to be great if any.
I personally like katas and kombo-drills over sparring due to beign new and needing to get my body to adjust to combat sports, but since the classes are for all sparring is what more experienced are after.
You should watch more matches and breakdowns about your fighting style, that will help you at least understand what is happening to you.
Also pair drills are the key to get better at sparring.
I say what ever don't work through it out and don't teach it
Sounds to me like you are trying to teach/coach too early...
Something that I really like about BJJ is that many start teaching classes as early as purple belt (usually under the supervision of their own instructor, whom is usually a black belt), so by the time they become independent teachers they already have a lot of experience teaching.
I didn't really have that for a long time, so I decided to teach privately a very small group of people one on one till I had a few years of experience behind me... it was terrible, but enlightening to experience the gigantic chasm of difference between knowing and coaching (that I eventually realized that I prefer to teaching, though I do teach a little here and there).
Give yourself some time to screw up, and seeing as you are new just be open about it when you're struggling and be receptive to your students feedback... the good ones won't resent you for it.
Bottom-line, trail and error... you're new to teaching so you're gonna make mistakes. Just remember and remind your students that we are all learning and training, and that becoming a teacher/coach/professional/master/etc. doesn't change that fact (the people that think otherwise are most often learning about failure, to accept and grow from it... and usually struggling intensely with either one or both of those parts).
Best of luck. :)
Unless your training for cage fighting, I would practice four stand up, four ground, four bjj, and four Muay Thai techniques and practice those over and over and over until they became part of my muscle memory. If you have to think, your dead. Just my 2 cents.
For some reason I always assumed the more advanced could learn more in the same amount of time than the beginner. I'm not sure how accurate that is.
The advanced can learn more in a shorter time, about the details and intricacies of the the technique.
No. Both have spend time drilling in order for brain to remember. Advanced just have ability to understand fundamentals and find it easier to understand additions onto already existing techniques.
Only 3 things that i know work in a street fight
1. Use weapon
2. Kick to the groin
3. Run
@Can a swallow swallow? yeah, I also can predict groin kick and font kick. But groin kick will actually work if you have fast leg
4. Run over them
@@iliveinsideyourhouse3943 more like run over them if you have strongman athlet body
1. If you want to use a weapon you better be training on how to use it, otherwise it might backfire and the assailant gets a hold of the weapon and use it against you.
2. People can withstand groin kicks for a short amount of time, in which the will inflict damage on you because of adrenaline.
3. You better be fast, real fast if you want to out run them.
@@m.a.k.8618 That's like me, due to arthritis, I cannot run.
A good wrestler n Kick boxer can defeat this bullshit kungfu anyday 🤣
