    i have the psychological issue of not wanting to hurt my partner too much. Lacking this "killer instinct" i feel like im hitting there guard intentionally or just not beeing as crisp with the attack etc. dunno what the right approach is bc i ofc dont want to really hurt my partners but training this way would, i think lead to forming bad muscle memory/habits

      I've done that for years. I target the forehead so I don't hit their nose. Then in the fight I often forget to change and target the chin or nose. Being nice can form bad habits.

    @quickfeed7592 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    All great tips, I'd add feinting to the list, as well. A lot of the time, new guys are so unknowlingly obvious about when they're going to strike, to the point that it's like child's play to people that have sparred/fought a lot. Developing feints is not only something most experienced people don't even do well/often, it's something that makes your opponent second guess both your, and their own, attacks.

You are both accomplished pro fighters that go deep in explaining to us amateurs the basics (and also stuff for more advanced guys) and how to actually implement them during our practices.

    I wish more people were like you about the tip 4, I'm one of those guys who ask for a light sparring or tell them to go lighter if they start hard hitting. I don't care if I'm seeing as weak or something but when I was younger I left a few times with a headache after a sparring session or unable to walk good for a few days and I don't want that anymore.
    Also, it's not always people who are better or same skill as you, sometimes people who are less skilled start hitting you hard when they get frustrated

    Yesterday in the gym I shadow boxed while remaining in place, I stood in my stance along a line on the floor and I started doing combos in my place, no feet at all. I was looking at my head in the mirror, my goal was to move it off of center line even if it's a tiny bit mid combos and of course at the end of the combo I finish with a slip or a roll. I need to get in the habit of moving my head more and this is a good drill I feel.

    @AlexN2022 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    there is also the simple fact that most people aren't used to getting hit. So when you're just starting, you pay too much attention to getting hit. Instead of a trivial event, getting hit becomes this dramatic thing.
    So get your mind conditioned to getting hit. Pick a partner that you can trust to go light. And for the whole round, force yourself to stay in continuous exchange. You can be passively defensive - tuck the chin in, keep the other hand high - but keep throwing continuously and don't let yourself break distance. Notice when your gaze slips too low and get it back on your opponent's chest.

    I’ve been in a situation where I asked somebody to calm down and go lighter, but they didn’t. So I turned up the intensity and ended up getting them. But that always sticks out of my mind because I’ve heard that multiple times tell your partner to go lighter but in the one time that I did asksomeone to go lighter, they didn’t.

    My 5th Dan instructor loved both head butts and spear-hand attacks. Since leaving Korea, 50 years ago, I"ve never once seen anyone attacked with the fingertip strike.. Building enough finger strength to use the spear hand, without damaging one's fingers, is just something nobody bothers to do in the US. but it's a devastating weapon if you've got that strength and that 4" of increase "reach" and that point on your weapon. That strike, delivered up under the ribs, to the armpit or neck, is a game-changer.

    All good tips 🙂 Regarding tip 4, you're right that the best thing is to just ask the other person to go lighter because it's not just a jerk thing; it's legitimately difficult to learn how hard is "too hard" without getting that feedback, especially if you're fairly new to sparring.

      @notmyname3681 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have this issue; land a light front or side kick and my sparring partner walks through it and strikes as if it didn't happen. People need to respect every strike as if they were full strength. Maybe discuss it with your coach, or suggest this to any sparring partners. Point out that the only option if they don't is for you to go harder, which you don't want to do, and that you will both learn more and be safer if you do this.

      @@jabarihaymond7704 Sure, I agree and it sounds like the op is saying the same. Their guard is open, you could nail them, you land light or pull short a clean technique... And they act like nothing happened. Very different from landing a sloppy strike that could never have been significant, those should be brushed off.
      The issue is really that if you then go harder to make them 'notice' the technique, they then up their physicality because they've registered that you threw a harder strike than usual... Then it escalates.

I waited for them and didnt throw with power because i didnt feel any urge to actually move foward and hurt them and win. I dont really know how to fix this i feel like its more of a mindset thing.

    I keep getting thrown in the corner. It's like my coach and my sparring partner are getting a kick out of frustrating me. I walked out the gym last week in the middle of sparring cause I keep getting pushed in the corner and tensed up. Gonna go back tomorrow and just work on my form.

    I struggle with the paradox of trying to learn from my mistakes early on by telling people to do something different. Doing hard sparring early on, was it something stupid i did that got me a bunch of needless injuries? Or did it make me the profecient fighter i am today? Would lessons ive learned really be as impactful having someone tell me "dont do this, its wrong" or was the lesson truly learned because i saw the reprocussions of what it was like to be wrong? Its a fine balance of learning from ones own mistakes and making sure someone isnt doing something so wrong they are putting themselves in active danger for little to no reward that will cause lasting/permenant injury.

    My technique isnt that good yet and i dont want to look like a moron throwing some silly move lol. Im only some what confident with jab cross followed by left or right kick. After that i kinda get stumped. And i also try to practice not getting hit also so its a huge mixture of low confidence and knowledge and experience and technique

    One of my biggest issues is that I'm still too afraid to get hit. Not just because someone might hit harder than they intend to, but just because in general, getting punched or kicked isn't exactly a pleasant feeling. What's the best way to get over that kind of fear? Simply learning to take it on the guard and counter?

    • @dalaisetiawan566
      @dalaisetiawan566 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      U just have to get hit and get used to being hit in your guard. There’s no way around it chief. Practice sitting in the pocket and firing off counters.

  • @mattmgarza
    @mattmgarza ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm very defensive minded with jiu jitsu, so protecting the head just seems like common sense to me. In the very few striking classes I've taken, I had problems doing literally everything except for protecting the head, lol. The thing about being hesitant to go on offense---that is 100% me with jiu jitsu, which is why I still suck so much, lol.

    Thanks a lot Gabriel. Really needed this one. Just curious, what size of boxing gloves you use for kickboxing and mma training?
