Who else is watching these videos because you gonna fight someone taller than you. Edit: Holy shit its been 5 YEARS time flies. And to everyone asking, yes i f*cked him up. I was a freshman at the time Fighting a sophmore. I am now entering my sophomore year of college man this shit is crazy. i miss being in high school haha.
Gonna try this on wed, I'm 5'4 and always go up against dudes that are 5'11 to 6 ft tall. I can get in and land my hits but I tend to take a lot of shots getting there.
you have a huge advantage as a short guy, your dexterity and more compressed mass density allows for much more impact as quicker speeds, more explosion. Your only big disatvantage is range and we all know that distance is a very shaky variable in fights
Ahahahahahahaha true. Im 6 feet tall fighting at 135, so every opponent is much shorter than me. I was debating between watching a vid on tips about how to fight a shorter opponent, but than... reverse psychology ahahahahah
practice a lot of squats and try some variations like pistol squats to get used to getting low and a lot of lateral side to side movements and always trust your best punch which you feel youre good at
I really enjoyed this video - I spar in kickboxing (not too experienced yet) and although i'm 6ft tall, I end up fighting people a few inches taller than me and it definitely brings up challenges of getting to the angle and distance where i can safely start landing some decent shots. A big problem i run into is getting flustered and overwhelmed when the taller opponent starts smothering me and landing shot after shot, even if I guard up it's hard to get out of there and find my bearings again. It's very disorienting. Do you have any tips for getting out of those moments ?
Thanks Shane and Chris!! This was a really cool and useful lesson. I've got this one sparring partner who is taller than me and always beating me. Haven't figured out what to do. But from here I got some really great tools. Hopefully we can spar tomorrow and I can try this stuff with my brand new headgear on!!
I've started following you in Instagram one year ago and Now,I'm here following you on RUclips..You got me into boxing..U were the clear driving force behind my inspiration to learn self-defense,Shane..Continue the good work and I hope u get much greater recognition for your work in the coming years..
The tips are useful however there was one thing that was overlooked. You don't always have to go forward and cut the distance as the shorter fighter. You can let the taller fighter come to you using educated footwork and give up his own reach. In this video Chris talked about Floyd Mayweather vs Diego Corrales and Floyd did exactly that. Stayed away from Diego and every time he gave up his reach Floyd was connecting. Another great fight where the shorter man won by moving laterally and backwards was the Terrence Crawford vs Victor Postol fight. Cheers!
Basically the most important thing I took from this is use your jab to distract the taller man while your trying to get in while protecting your head with either your other hand or head movement and then go ham on him from inside is reach for has long has you can because their punches from close are generally weaker.
Mate I don't think if you fight in a weight class according to your height, the difference would be that much in height. If you're talking about street fight then it's another thing.
@@jasmeetb83 Well its kinda obvious most people watching this don't take classes or they would learn there so if they get in a fight its gonna be completely random. Could be below or way over their weight class.
1. Jab the lead hand to shift opponents weight to the back foot and force him to throw his rear. 2. Going past the jab to get into closer range. 3. Keeping opponents lead hand bussy and using head movement to distract your opponent of the fact that you passed the critical distance line 4. Slip to the outside of the taller opponents jab and throwing your own jab. 5. Changing levels and throwing a jab to the taller opponents body.
That depends, if you go straight for the legs, it won't work if he is planted. If you do a little misdirection though, it would. For example, if you manage to get on the inside, Go for a throat grab with your left arm so his focus is there, but then put your body weight with the momentum, and try to sweep his legs out if his he is not in stance where his legs are too far apart.
My problem is that my opponents are usually not that much taller than I. but my reach is short (friends call me "T-Rex Arms" for that reason). I'm 5'10 with a reach of only 69in (don't worry, I've heard all the jokes).
Fight against a Taller Fighter either in Boxing or Kickboxing 🥊. Control the outer Range and Distance and Time it and Closed the Distance in a In fighting game. That you know, You Win the Fight. Awesome Videos. 😎🙏👍
There are so many videos on how to fight taller opponents, what about the guys like me who are 6'1 and 143 pounds (I normally fight at super lightweight) where you don't see many people who are that tall. Would be really great to see a video like that. ;)
Thanks for the tips as tomorrow i have a flight after the school with a guy who is much taller than me im 175cm he is about 190cm will let you know how it goes if i stay alive 😅
Lot of help this video showed me. I’m 5’11, just sparred my first tall, like tall opponent. Tallest usually I’ve fought is 6’2 which isn’t much difference, but today I fight a guy whose not just very experienced, but very tall. He’s 6’4 1/2, 80 inch reach, just ate me up with his jab. It was a friendly spar, he nor I hit eachother at 50-70% power. But I definitely needed to understand what I could do to improve. Cuz I feel like I missed opportunity during some moments. Next week I’m gonna come in better. There’s no winner or loser, just knowledge.
I'm 5"7 1/2.... My doctor put 5"8 I'm my medical records!!!!!!😎👉💥 That being said, at what height is to tall for me to stop, look up and say to myself, " WTF have I gotten myself into..?"
THANK YOU, CHRIS!!!!!!! The first tip you gave was nearly the opposite of what I had understood to be the normal strategy against taller opponents; and it has made my ability handle taller guys so, so much better. I have very long arms for my height, so I have developed a long game that works well against people my size, but whenever I sparred with someone bigger, I found myself trying to use a style that I'm not comfortable with. I don't bob & weave and stay in the pocket like Tyson. But just by peppering their guard with straights and high kicks I have found that they no longer hang out just outside my range and inside of their where they can pick their shots. Instead, they hang out OUTSIDE both of our ranges and dart in; allowing me to use the same counter strikes I normally use with smaller guys!
It's pretty much implied, and stated, in the video what the taller person needs to do along with the shorter person. Keep distance, work the jab often and tie up if the shorter guy gets in close.
Use your punches as a defense and use different footworks. With these two you will have great zoning defense that shorter guy won't be able to go in most of the time.
Thanks fight tips just got out of my first ring match and it happened to be against a taller opponent! I stayed inside and used my power his range was a big disadvantage! Great vids man!
My main sparring partner is 5'10 with 73' inch reach and I'm 5'7 with 68' reach. This dude lands so many goddamn jabs on me it's insane, the only thing I can do is just leg kick the crap out of him. I definitely need to learn to how to get in the inside better. Thanks guys
I'm 5'2-5'3 and I'm 13 and I'm going against someone around 5'5-5'6 which is maybe 13 😂 I'm hoping for the best BC I have lost fights to him before when I was younger
When you can grapple, I'd recommend going for throws. With most of them, you need to get your centre of mass below that of your opponent, so when you're smaller, your opponent will have a much harder time.
Rohit Goswami legs kicks is optional but be smart about using Leg kicks because me and my twin were sparring and I leg kicked him then we wrestle me out. Also... Do a Over hand
My last sparring partner was tall and big. The only thing that really worked was being faster and slipping while I jab. I have to practice that more now
You guys are bullying tf outta this guy, even tho his comment is stupid does not mean attack him or you then become a bully and Shane fucking hates that shit remember were all under dogs
SHANE i have a fight coming up it's my 4th boxing fight. I've been training for 1 year now. You think i can send you my fight video through email so you can tell me what i can better at?

yo dude I hope you see this! I'm a 15 year old and do MMA. I participate in semi pro matches in the state of Washington. I would like to thank you for showing me things that even my trainer didn't show me. you have been a real help to me. the most important video you posted for me is the switching stances, southpaw to orthodox or vice versa. thank you so much!😀
Im 5’7...had an even street fight with someone who is 6’3 (both drunk)...neither of us really landed any good stikes (besides his sucker punch). But when i sparr bigger / stronger dudes, i dont clinch (unless this person has no martial art skills or isnt a fighter) & if you do clinch, strike quick..knees to the body, balls, let an uppercut or hook towards the upper jaw blast. Being drunk when i was fighting this person a lot taller than me...if you know any ground game (considering your street oppentent is hammered..like we were & just basically hockey fighting & not landing anythinv lol), but i saw grass & clinched up..took him to the ground, was under him but had him in full guard & was nearly about to have him a a guillatine choke...but the bigger guy ontop realized he couldnt move & knew i was good on the ground..so when i got one of my hands around his neck & and almost locked im the guilltine choke..he bit my ear, luckly a friend realized...pulled him off, i was drink and chased him several blocks with a shovel lmao but thats reflecting on stupid late teen stories. Although i think against a taller oppentent you should never lead with your right (unless its a clear cut counter strike), and use your leg kicks & front snap/push kicks..or kick to the balls or knees. Always think of a fight as life or death..too many different bad things can happen in street fights, so if possible, avoid at all costs..& if you have no choise, knee’s/kicks the the balls always works, strikes to the solarplex, upper cut palm strkes/palm stikes to the nose or around the ear where the jaw bone connects..even headbutts if their right in ur face (aim for their nose) & follow with a straight punch to the solarplex & knee to the balls...that should give you time run away from your attacker. But against a anyone..especially someone taller...Never lead with your right unless it is a counter strike. But keep them at bay with front kicks of different levels..attack the knees..rarely go high with any kick on the street..if u slip or he catches that..youre totally fucked..you’ll do more damage with one good straight/round house kick to the knee than a high kick when your out clubbing in tight clothes & on cement, where its not fun to break-fall..than deal with being kicked or having a dude bigger than you throwing punches down at you..keep ur distance, use your kicks, strike when the opportunity presents itself..also liver shots are great..but its easier to land a quick front snap kick to the balls..& if you end up on the ground (on the bottom) lock him up and keep him in full guard..DO NOT let him lean up so he can start throwing bombs. Easier said than done..ask around & join a legit “mma” type dojo..stay away from things like Taekwondo...it’s no good for street fighting or even full contact tourny’s..it’s good for flexability/point sparring...very over rated
I was fighting my cousin I’m 4 .11 he’s 5.4 we went 12 two minute rounds until I got him in the corner and got him with a jab jab hook uppercut and his legs collaspsed

Im not sure about this but isn't your back foot supposed to be forward and not off to the side?
lol same
@@shc7175 no when you twist your hips into your punches that's when you twist your foot straight then back.
Sir Lemon forward is better for jumping in and out but off the side is more balance and if you kick it’s better to throw a kick with your lead one

You gotta prioritize body shots more. Power hooks to the ribs and power cross to the solar plexus.

practice a lot of squats and try some variations like pistol squats to get used to getting low and a lot of lateral side to side movements and always trust your best punch which you feel youre good at

Very Nice. Probs from Germany. Chris is a very Intelligent fighter. I like his mind set and his movement.
Thank you. Top Video
what about combos??... It's really hard to use a combo if your opponent is Taller.
Rohit Goswami legs kicks is optional but be smart about using Leg kicks because me and my twin were sparring and I leg kicked him then we wrestle me out. Also... Do a Over hand
Who is tall like me but still watching this
It's over Shane, I have the high ground.
My last sparring partner was tall and big. The only thing that really worked was being faster and slipping while I jab. I have to practice that more now
They would be a great couple
guys come on, leave him alone
You guys are bullying tf outta this guy, even tho his comment is stupid does not mean attack him or you then become a bully and Shane fucking hates that shit remember were all under dogs
What if someone is like 30cm taller and 50kg heavier ?

Great video for a midget like me, Shane could you break down Juan manuel Marquez's technique pls?
yo dude I hope you see this! I'm a 15 year old and do MMA. I participate in semi pro matches in the state of Washington. I would like to thank you for showing me things that even my trainer didn't show me. you have been a real help to me. the most important video you posted for me is the switching stances, southpaw to orthodox or vice versa. thank you so much!😀
Im 5’7...had an even street fight with someone who is 6’3 (both drunk)...neither of us really landed any good stikes (besides his sucker punch). But when i sparr bigger / stronger dudes, i dont clinch (unless this person has no martial art skills or isnt a fighter) & if you do clinch, strike quick..knees to the body, balls, let an uppercut or hook towards the upper jaw blast. Being drunk when i was fighting this person a lot taller than me...if you know any ground game (considering your street oppentent is hammered..like we were & just basically hockey fighting & not landing anythinv lol), but i saw grass & clinched up..took him to the ground, was under him but had him in full guard & was nearly about to have him a a guillatine choke...but the bigger guy ontop realized he couldnt move & knew i was good on the ground..so when i got one of my hands around his neck & and almost locked im the guilltine choke..he bit my ear, luckly a friend realized...pulled him off, i was drink and chased him several blocks with a shovel lmao but thats reflecting on stupid late teen stories.
Although i think against a taller oppentent you should never lead with your right (unless its a clear cut counter strike), and use your leg kicks & front snap/push kicks..or kick to the balls or knees. Always think of a fight as life or death..too many different bad things can happen in street fights, so if possible, avoid at all costs..& if you have no choise, knee’s/kicks the the balls always works, strikes to the solarplex, upper cut palm strkes/palm stikes to the nose or around the ear where the jaw bone connects..even headbutts if their right in ur face (aim for their nose) & follow with a straight punch to the solarplex & knee to the balls...that should give you time run away from your attacker. But against a anyone..especially someone taller...Never lead with your right unless it is a counter strike. But keep them at bay with front kicks of different levels..attack the knees..rarely go high with any kick on the street..if u slip or he catches that..youre totally fucked..you’ll do more damage with one good straight/round house kick to the knee than a high kick when your out clubbing in tight clothes & on cement, where its not fun to break-fall..than deal with being kicked or having a dude bigger than you throwing punches down at you..keep ur distance, use your kicks, strike when the opportunity presents itself..also liver shots are great..but its easier to land a quick front snap kick to the balls..& if you end up on the ground (on the bottom) lock him up and keep him in full guard..DO NOT let him lean up so he can start throwing bombs. Easier said than done..ask around & join a legit “mma” type dojo..stay away from things like Taekwondo...it’s no good for street fighting or even full contact tourny’s..it’s good for flexability/point sparring...very over rated
I was fighting my cousin I’m 4 .11 he’s 5.4 we went 12 two minute rounds until I got him in the corner and got him with a jab jab hook uppercut and his legs collaspsed
