    BTW the best defense of course is to not offend in a real street fight and avoid confrontation in the first place. My Taekwondo Sense warned us if we accept to fight "you're gonna get hit" so don't be surprised. Better to de-escalate the situation in the first place! that way the boxing is just really great exercise and helps the brain too

    Great tips! I would only add (As an old guy) that if your blocking or retreating you're probably losing. If you're forced to fight you must ALWAYS attack! This also applies to sparring. It about developing a mindset. Only my two cents...

    You touched on a method I kind of picked up on years ago, quite by
    accident----Striking while retreating! I was sparring with a dude who
    was even more agressive than ME! He got on a ROLE and surprised
    me with a non-stop barrage of punches. So I quickly backed UP, in
    order to get to 'Safe ground.' Well, that wasn't enough! I instinctively
    went into a little defensive technique I had been working on; I used
    a rapid ROTARY motion with my forearms and fists in order to deflect
    his onslaught. To my surprise, I was getting a reaction...a GOOD one!
    I actually HURT his forearms by doing this. I could tell by the look on
    his face, that my tactic was working---so I immediately threw a
    Straight punch, followed by a front kick.
    Needless to say---I actually WON the match!
    Thank GOD he was a good sport. We both 'Bowed, shook hands, and
    Walked away.

    Isnt it a good way to get out after the attack by throwing ex. front kick while covering your head. Thats what I often do naturally and it works. My goal is not to hit with the kick, just to assure that if a guy gets to the striking distance then he will get a front kick to his (hopefully solar plexus), even it is a weaker front kick while you are backing off at the same time.
    Punches, then back off and throwing a front kick while leaving danger zone. Of course the (front kick) timing is crucial in this combination.

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  Год назад +1

      If what you’re doing is working, keep doing it! 😄 Just make sure you prepare for a highly aggressive attacker who doesn’t back off while you throw strikes moving backwards. He’ll catch you eventually!

    Awesome tips! Since I condition my bones I normally wouldn't go for two hands up because one hand is strong enough to take it. Two hands up means you are shortening your vision for blocking 1 or 2 punches. And there is a way for breaking the two hands up defense. One hand up and one hand free is the recipe for me. Oh but wait we are talking about beginners. Oops my bad because beginners can't do that. Sweeping someone or chocking him in a street fight is also effective for giving advantage/ending a fight if done in successful way.

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  Год назад +1

      I don’t know how you condition your hands, but it’s amazing if you’re not worried about hurting them! you can make a video about that. 😁 Stay safe, my friend!

    • @eranshachar9954
      @eranshachar9954 Год назад

      @@AndoMierzwa Oh thank you Ando my friend🙂 You too stay safe. As for how to do it it's not a quick answer but complex one. And I don't know how to make videos otherwise I would have.
      But it's basically comprised of the following steps: 1.Striking hard surface directly highly gentle. You are not focusing on power rather making yourself stronger. And to bones who are not possible to strike with I gently beat them with a stick.
      2.Knuckle push ups which I can't do many of them but something is better than nothing.
      3.Consistency. 200 strikes for each bone 5 days a week and 2 days rest.
      4.Diet. Consuming protein and calcium after such training.
      5.Punching bag meant for power strikes. So when I have one available even if it's soft feeling I give power shots without gloves or any other form of defense.
      6.I don't have access to it sadly but sand bucket is another form of helpful training. It gives you skin endurance.
      7.The two most important qualities in the process are lack of fear and patience. What do I mean by lack of fear I want to explain. No matter how gentle you are, inevitably the skin will tear and blood will be expressed/blood flows. People often so scared of it. And when it happens stop, let it recover and then return to training. Because bleeding out massively is not the point of the training. And patience because results won't come before 1 year of doing so. But after thousands of strikes and building them stronger anyone would see the difference. Embrace the pain and continue with it. Someone who fears pain shouldn't do it.

    I've got question about tip #2. It's just natural for opponent to pivot to you. I know that punching bag or dummy can't pivot. But real human do that quite a lot during sparring. Isn't it natural not to only change your angle, but also change your movement, so it's more difficult for opponent to adapt to it?
    I use that principle quite a lot when trying to pass guard and sometimes it works. And it practically always works against me. Though I know that opponent may use this scheme of movement.

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  Год назад

      Absolutely! We all naturally want to turn to face a threat…if we’re not running away, I mean! But staying ahead on timing, setting traps, zigging and zagging, incorporating grabs… that’s what the art of fighting is all about! Just keep experimenting!👍🏼

    Sparring is a little daunting if your opponent is half your age and over 6ft. I'm knee high to a grasshopper! Plus I'm tempered by age and young ones are thinking it's a boxing ring. Still it's fun.

    Sense Ando, thank you again for the great teaching of how to properly hit a bag. I have been boxing the YMCA bag for almost a year now but EVERY VISIT before hitting the bag I follow your video of walking back and forth with the bag and shifting left and right to avoid the opponent. I always imagine fighting an opponent taller than me so I go for the "head" with a very strong left hook and right/left combos coming in close or backing away ALWAYS KEEPING MY GUARD UP moving all round the bag. Do you have an email where I can share the video to you?

    • @AndoMierzwa

      You’re right, Joanna-learning how to “read” the right angles, distance, and timing are pretty much impossible without a partner. If you can’t practice outside of class, maybe grab someone 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after to drill a little bit. Every bit helps! Keep fighting!👊🏼
