    I like to shadow at the beginning of a training session just after skipping.
    It's a great time to arrange your training thoughts and goals before pads, sparring, bag, etc.

      Why do fighters touch their nose so much?

      @@jossgowerI study body language and martial arts so I'm so glad someone else noticed it because I've been trying to figure it out myself! With this though It could be a couple of reasons. When doing cardio I tend to get a kinda runny nose, and breathing so much makes it tickle my nostrils so that's part of it, but I also find that I often will wipe my nose as a self soothing activity to calm myself down just a little. Much like when people stroke their beard or pull their hair to relieve stress. You can see Gabriel doing it here usually after a long or strenuous combo. It kinda recenters you when you've just done something stressful.

      I'm 39 & suffered many hand fractures from street fights. The bag is brutal on my paws. I'm only a couple weeks into it. Do you think I should hit it every other day until I recondition them & spend twice as much time shadow boxing on off days? Or should I keep pounding these lobster claws & man up?

      @smertonosnyibratni 3 года назад

      @@cooldynamix6717 Hitting the bag without gloves on won't really do much to condition your hands, more likely it'll teach you to punch softer as an adaptation to injury prevention. In a street fight youll revert to your training and its better to break a knuckle and win then to get plowed through because you're fighting too cautiously.

    @yoananda9 5 лет назад +10

    So great to see pro-tips. I like very slow shadow boxing to work on perfecting moves. Most often, I notice some "imperfections" sometime in my footwork, sometime in punch, equilibrium, etc... But, focusing on the mindset seem's very interresting. I'll try it. Thank.
    I would like to see a video on how you deal with injuries : how to avoid them before and during the figth (beside the obvious, working on defense ==> for example, what are the most dangerous strikes to avoid, or how to protect ourself efficiently while attacking). How to train when you are injured, and so on. (Obviously it depends on the type of injury)

    Maybe because you are experienced professional who is training against an upcoming fight, but for any beginner or ordinary person I think the slow one is better. Of course, full speed is OK once the accuracy has been attained - however the brain does not understand speed during the time of laying these important foundations (tho speed will come when it is required). Tim Larkin did a recent one on that: 'Speed Vs Accuracy'.

    east gabriel your videos are epic, one thing i don't know why everyone has started doing this thing in videos where it is cut in a way that it suddenly jumps it is very distracting can you not do that? I would be interested in a video on how to block a sweep and how to fight someone who flows flurries of punches without becoming overwhelemed like pacquio style when they slip your jab say how to evade their onslaught. And what to do when someone is throwing 5-6 punch combinations so to not get overwhelmed. thanks ( i find if you catch them clean in the middle of their flurry that deters them obviously but wondering if any specific techniques that work well against these ultra agressive fighters who throw 5-6 shot combos. ) keep up the good work it is good a champion like you is putting in the time to educate. very inspirational keep up the good work

      That seems fine to me. Sounds much better than hitting your shins with a bottle like some people do 😜
      I don't do lots of bag work. Maybe 10 rounds per week but it's great if you're doing a session solo.
