My last boxing match was back in 2016, and I've been debating ever since whether or not I want to get back into the ring.
In this video I talk about how I stay motivated to train, what my weekly training routine looks like, and when you can expect to see me “The FIGHTTIPS Guy” fight again.

“One more fight” is what gets the old pros to misery :/
Good choice
It takes balls to accept a real FIGHT and it takes bigger balls to accept that this shit is hella scary and you're not ready or simply too scared of the risks that come with it.
You the G for being so honest Shane, Big Ups
But it would be interesting to watch him fight with me 😉
I second this; Furthermore, Shane Fazen is Sensei to a ton of us and we all respect him whether or not he's in a pro fight.
You've helped us improve our fighting skills, we should pay you back with support 🤗
You commented this before watching the video
But it would be interesting to watch him fight with me 😉
@@Level.2.Gigapod I will support him whenever he needs
He can't fight
Admitting "I'm scared" is a level of real talk that most people are not capable of. Great video, Shane.
Calm down.
You sound like you've never had a concussion before. @@RythymBeast
@@NonZeroPossibility08exactly 💯
Agree
True. I had a concussion once and I made me reflect deeply on my training goal.
I'm inspired by you, as always. Also I second the AG1 recommendation... solid product.
Right back at you, Mike 🙏
I'd like to watch either of you guys beat up Dillon Danis ;)
@@strikingmachine2975his antics aside, i think you Misunderstand just how elite Dillon Danis is
@@fighttipsi feel you man nothing wrong with that my first fight I lost cause I wasn't in shape my second fight guy knee me in the middle ribs broke two got a TKO and fight went to the distance one that fight next fight so I'm 3-1 in k1
@fighttips you should do the points kickboxing thing icy mike and his students did. Get to experience a lot of aspects of fighting without your opponent aiming to take your head off
This reminds me what my coach said once.
"Yeah, I miss competing and sparring and all of that. But even if I can't do it anymore, that doesn't mean I gotta stop helping you all. I gave up on my dream to help you guys get yours"
My coach suffered retinal detachment and had to retire in his early carreer. He's not even 30, but he had to do it.
Whatever you do in the rest of your life, I'll always support you Shane.
Been following you since 2016.
I stopped fighting/sparring when I noticed my speech slurring. I was scared too of the same thing. Now years later I can accept that I wasn't that great of a fighter but I was able to become a great father and husband. I respect your decision.
And you know you can protect them! Much respect ✊🏼
How much fighting did you do?
I felt this, its exactly why I stop trying to fight even when I wanted too.
Had mutiple concussions before, two being really bad, and I got one from trainning hard back to back early this year. This new one had brought symptoms i never had before, but somehow even if I was worry of it getting worse I wasn't because I knew what I was getting into.
But it was looking at my mom's expression and hearing her talk to me in the ER when we went to do a catscan that seal the deal for me. I realize that fighting is more then just sacrificing yourself, but the people that matter to you the most.
I have my ups and down cause of that, still dealing with symptoms, but in hindsight, I want to become a coach like you someday. And its crazy, while I haven't been watching your videos in sometime, I use to grow up watching you doing all these moves, taking advices how to be a better martial artist, and even now, i'm still learning from you as of today.
Appreciate all that you've done and how your still helping me be a better martial artist. Hopefully, i can see you at striking 101 whenever i'm able to go back!
I'm definitely no expert but try to either get some stem cell treatment, however if its too expensive - there are supplements that encourage your body to produce more natural stem cells. Also make sure to get alot of omega 3s,👍
It’s a shame but i respect your decision. Professional fights must be nerve wracking.
Yeah
At the very least, he’s found something that makes him happy
Love your honesty. Been watching you for almost 10 years. I’m 29, have my first boxing fight next month. Much love.
Good shit bro, let us know how you do.
Good luck brother💪 Wish you a win and no injuries🙏
You've inspired millions of people. You keep us motivated to keep on improving in Martial Arts regardless of styles. Thank you so much, Shane.
I just had my first fight last month and I have another one coming this Friday. I underestimated how much goes into preparation of a fight and it is extremely taxing on the body and the mind.
Needless to say I will definitely be taking some time off bc there is no way I can balance life, family, and the gym as a 30 something amateur fight. A real fight does not compare in any way to any type of hard sparring I’ve done in the past. Much respect to the few that have actually gotten in the ring win or lose.
I respect you so much for admitting you’re scared
Learn so much from Shane throughout my fighting career in high school, from fighting skills, coaching, and lifestyle. This guy was my huge inspiration to these days. It's a shame for not seeing you compete again. But thanks for sharing your experience. I appreciate it a lot.
I get you man. It's okay to step back from fighting. It's genuinely scary. I'm an amateur boxer who started out learning from you a decade ago. I hope you keep training, man.
Though ngl, an exhibition match with you in it wouldve been fun to watch
7:53 true words right there, a lot of people have this belief that a former fighter or player can make a great coach. That is not always the case.
Shane Fazen vs Jeff Chan would be a great fight though
That's the RUclipsrs fight that I would like to watch
Shane would whoop jeff
Jeff got signed recently, I'm sure that match would have been considered or potentially offered
Jeff would murder him with zero difficulty
@@ianmcfadden2794 It would be competitive let's just say that. No one one destroy either.
Man, you helped so many fighters/martial artists around ths world. Love your work, and been following you since. Keep it up my bro! You're doin an excellent job! Mad love and respect 💯
Just like Dominick Cruz said once "sometimes it takes more cojones to stop yourself than it does to keep going"
Also there's nothing with training without fighting, i do it too😉
Love your videos Shane, been here since 2017❤
I’ve watched you since my first year in high school, I’m almost 21 now.
I found you when I was frantically looking on the internet how to fight because I got called out for a fight down at the local skatepark when I first moved to this new highschool. Found your fight tips and instantly got to work, honestly fell in love with training, I ended up going to the skatepark at 12-13 and ended up getting a takedown and just ground and pounding this older kid. So thank you. That started my journey joined a Japanese ju-jitsu did it for a couple years then went to Mauy thai at 16. Heading over to Thailand next month when I turn 21 for 3 months to train. So In a weird way you were a big part of my journey 🤙🏾🤝 thank you brother keep spreading that great knowledge.
Respect, sir! 🙏🏻
What a truly honest and refreshing post. I personally find your training tips amazingly helpful and it shows it’s not all about the goal of fighting. To be fight ready you have to be so focused and selfish and that can be a step too far when you have a wife/partner/kids etc.
I had respect for you already and now this vid has made me respect you even more
This was touching. Thank you for all you’ve done, man.
You've always been a hero and an inspiration, but most importantly an example.
Your health is important, and I'm glad you choose longevity over flash.
Not that those kicks don't flash 😅
Keep being you. There's really no one like you.
You've been my role model since I was a kid Shane, your authenticity and humility has always been a good example.
i have been watching your videos since the channel started. I have always appreciated your willingness to share your knowledge. It takes courage to be so honest Shane.
i used to watch this guy back when i was in grade 3, im year 11 now doing boxing. Glad to see he is going great
DUDE! Great Video! I think you're WAY SMART for not fighting anymore! Having the humbleness and self confidence to say no is not fear. Staying battle ready is just a great lifestyle, and you are in your prime in life! Good stuff man!
I've been seeing you since 2016 and watching this video acted as a reminder of my biggest takeaway from all your videos, a lesson in humility, you're a great role model Shane thank you
Respect for being real about head injury. It's a real thing and prioritizing your wife and family is the best decision you can make. If you fight, It could be an exhibition match. I don't wanna see you hurt, but would love to see your arsenal in display. Whatever you choose, always supporting you man!
You help me get started on martial arts with your videos. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you.
Completely respect and appreciate your raw truth about your fears regarding the real risks of fighting. I feel exactly the same way. I love martial arts and I love the idea of testing it but I also don't want to get seriously injured or CTE. To me it's just not worth it. Thank you for sharing these truths brother. Very vulnerable but very honorable. 🙏
Much respect to you Shane. You are one of the very few people who have a positive effect on my life.
Wow the honesty is commendable.
I suffered a concussion early on into kickboxing from sparring. I said to myself then and there that I have 1 more chance. Thankfully it was not repeated and I have competed 3 times over 8 years. I do very little sparring in order to protect my brain.
I only competed so I can look back in future without any regrets. It is truly terrifying to fight, A massive pressure and constant stress from the moment you agree to fight until the fight is over.
Would never want to fight for a job. That would have to be one of the hardest jobs mentally unless of course you have that fighters mentality.
“Discipline is a muscle” that’s really a great metaphor!
Dude I love how honest you are. It’s encouraging to hear someone like you say fighting is SCARY lol I thought I was just being a pussy, every time I train I am scared and it never goes away--but I guess your body is literally going into “fight/flight” response and it is a huge emotional thing for everyone. I appreciate you man
Love this! Much respect and you are truly an inspiration to us all!
What you said is definitely the truth.
I've been following your channel the moment I started training in muay thai. I can honestly say FightTips definitely helped me won all my fights and helped me grow as a good martial artist.
We, your fans will respect your decisions and wish for your good wellbeing. Godspeed to you always. May good fortune befalls unto you.
wow! I've been following the channel since the beginning and this was the strongest and most honest video I've seen on RUclips in a long time. Thank you Shane, you inspire people to be better.
100% respect to you. Especially when you’ve got a spouse to think about…then you throw in kids and it really gets you thinking. We all know you can bang and we’ve all become better fighters because of you. 🙏
Been watching you since I was in primary school, your videos helped me beat up my first and last bully. Whatever you do you've got my support 110%
Absolute respect to you Shane. 100% support!!
Thank you, For being so honest, A true martial artist.
I hope that you will always be able to live your life as you do. "The warrior in the garden"
🐺🙏🏼
So much respect to you Shane you gave me the confidence to start fighting! 💯💯💯
You are an honest and authentic guy. Much respect to you🏆
Takes courage to be honest, given your position in the online-fight-coaching-world. I can respect that 👊🏻
Dude i love ur content & always make the decision for urself 💯 also thats the best motivation “I have a fight coming up” I appreciate the inspiration you keep giving us
Man, you're coming in real as fuck in this one. Respect the honesty.
I've been considering taking an ammy MMA fight just to be able to say I've done it, but as an older fighter, this video is making me re-think my motivations and priorities. Not saying I've changed my mind, but I definitely need to have a think about it.
As someone who also came up with a fairly hectic and intense amateur career, and has not competed for a very long time, I feel what you are saying. The way a person enjoys martial arts changes over time. It doesn't mean we are any less passionate. Keep doing what you're doing man 👍
I'm in the similar mindset. I've done my fair share of competing and it was a good experience everyone should have. For me it is mentally taxing and also that concussion aspect you talked about. Martial artists can train without taking fights. Like someone who can cook can be a good cook and not a chef for a restaurant. Much respect Shane!!!
Fear of Brain Injuries is no shame! We're just glad that you are healthy and living life.
Congratulations on your coaching career path. I like the videos and tips because you make the content easy to understand and entertaining.
Ive been self training taekwondo/kickboxing techniques for about 13 years, and just recently started training Muay Thai at a gym. Im almost 35 now, and I dont feel like I would fare well in a real fight, but Id like to at least get a few under my belt just to say I did it.
🤝💪🏾✨☺️
God bless you Coach Fazen. I’m sure all your close relatives and friends are proud of you. I believe any fighter will be lucky to have you as a coach, your journey as a coach will take you even farther in your life.
Such a great reflection, Shane. Ive been actively training for a bit now, sparring frequently, and have only realised the danger to my brain that sparrings pose. I realised that I'd rather get to use my skills rarely, safely, and precisely than be at risk of gradual brain damage.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Shane I support you anywhere you go bro. Fan for life
I love that you brought up that teaching and fighting are 2 different things. I feel like this hit close to home for me. I love teaching but I also competitively fight still. When I feel like I'm close to a fight my teaching skills become subpar. However, I notice that if I focus on teaching too much my performance lacks during a competition. Thank you again for bringing this up 🙏🙏🙏
When I heard the "I'm scared?" Word, I did not belive but amazed by the courageous honesty.
Good luck you’ve taught me a lot
That's some of the best tips and answers right there, for people who actually want to listen.
Thanks for this video Shane.
What a video man!
One of the best I’ve seen in RUclips
Love it! This is why you stand out in this industry my friend 👍🙏
Love this video bro, such an inspiration even to your friends… needed to hear this message today 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯
Shane you’ve been my coach since 2016 thank bro keep doing you!! Proud of you champ 👏 you encourage me to start and If I ever make it I would give you a big shout out and I’ll take you as my coach
There’s no “i” in team, but there is one in “daily”!
Nice to see the honesty, because that's a reality for many people, and there's so many that think they can fight from behind a keyboard, but aren't capable of admitting that they're actually scared.
You have definitely made me feel better about my decision stop competing. At 42 years of age people think I'm a lot younger than I am and think I should fight but I honestly feel like I have more to lose than gain. Sometimes ego takes over and wants me to get in there and show what I can do. Thanks again for the info
Wise, honest words that deserve respect.
I have trained boxing, krav maga, karate and freestyle grappling, with boxing having the most experience casually in two years. I have been in a few sparring matches and I can still say that it is very taxing in the body and I still need more conditioning ever with the right mind set. Now, imagine those fighters who started at the age of below 10 and currently, still in the martial arts world today. The dedication, conditioning, fighting spirit, etc. I mean, that's a whole new level. Kudos to the fighters both the retired, the current, and anyone who steps on the ring who gave it their all, win or lose. Also, I followed you since the days when Ant and you had video on some alley teaching self defense so, again, thank you for the teaching us how to fight and defend ourselves! You earned our thanks!
kids who start young typically don’t last and never reach their prime from the amount of damage incurred through hard sparing and competition.
Unless they strictly do Jiu-Jitsu or wrestling.
All the respect to you for this! ✊🏽
Nothing but respect man!
Thank you for the video! You've been such an inspiration for years to many of us.
being scared is the only reason i haven't started properly competing. i did 3 bjj tourneys as a kid (8 or 9 yo) and won those, but now i am fully invested in muay thai, and i have been too anxious to compete, even tho my friends and teammates are. i'd love to fight, but idk y but i cant get past the nerves. i like to think i understand what you mean, and i will always highly respect you for being open about this.
These are the same words I have when waking up for work. “I have a shift coming up 🥱😪”
Lots of respect for you Shane. I like the cookie jar method. Will be adding that to my training methodology.
You're so fire Shane. I've been watching you since, I want to say 8 or 9. I'm turning 20 in December and I'm still watching and rewatching your videos.
Mature. Real man. Respect.
Totally respect where you’re coming from. CTE should have changed combat sports fundamentally but it seems things are going in the opposite direction.
Good for you totally agree. Same, stay ready.
You cannot do anything but respect his words. Thank you Shane for helping me for over 5 years.
A lot of us feel similarly, Shane, or we would have entered the ring, too. There's lots of choices to be made in one's life and it's always a good move when someone chooses to make the smart move and when we take the time to reflect, we can all know what the smart move is for us.
Good call, brother, keep up the great work!
wow. what a great video. gave me goosebumps multiple times. touching stuff man.
Man I’d love to see you in the main stage fighting, I’m in the same stage as you I quit fighting before but 6 years later I’m back I just couldn’t stay away from the thing that I love the most.
And the 6 years without it was hell, so ima start to fight again and hopefully I see you fighting too because you’ve inspired me so much all throughout those years.
I had a discussion about this with my MMA coach as well. He's only had one MMA fight and has competed in grappling tournaments, but his goals shifted into becoming a good coach, and he got pretty damn good at it.
Respect! I related to this and appreciate your honesty
Love your channel from Malaysia🇲🇾❤️
Mate I’ve followed you for over a decade, since you were showing us how to throw jabs in a park
You’ve got all my support brother
Shane you are one of the realest youtubers out there
Awesome video Shane, thank you for this. 🙏
Love what you said!..I feel ya...I boxed when I was much younger...I've had my head rocked...now that I'm older and slower I stick to boxing and Kali for exercise and for self defense...real reason why I too got into martial arts...been a long time viewer of your channel...love everything you do stay blessed always ....🤙 mahalo brother
Appreciate your honesty
Love your work Shane! 💪
Heck yeah I'll root for you. Followed you for years.
It’d be amazing to watch you compete again especially in an organization like One Championship, but I agree and respect your decision and will continue to support FightTips!
You are someone with your priorities straight. Thanks for your vulnerability. You are the real deal.
Awesome video man I enjoyed this , the honesty and the truth of what it is to be a fighter kudos to you man think I’m going to subscribe to your channel best wishes.
Good for you for putting your health first
I’m doing Dualingo too! Keep up the great work!
Great video! I myself had quite a lot of concussions, some mild ones & two to three harder ones but recently i have gotten one from a pretty normal punch that would have never had any implications otherwise and i realized that i probably accumulated so much damage that even a little bit can already give me a concussion. So i decided to call it quits with muay thai and sparring, now i‘m doing bagwork for myself to keep sharp but of course it‘s not the same. There were times when i was thinking that i could start again, but overall your message really put things into perspective.
