- A great question came up during our first podcast, asking how long should someone train before taking their first amateur fight (boxing, Muay Thai, MMA). Let's break down how a fighter and coach know when they are ready.

My first amateur Muay Thai fight is gonna be in 2 days. Wish me luck guys!
I lost but i got a silver medal which made me qualify to the National Championships on November. I'm gonna start training harder once my leg heals.
Thank you so much, Good sir! :)
Goku Godlike hey man do u do kickboxing?bc I wanna start...kinda will help my confidence boost a bit more but I also love the sport....any tips also?
Hello there! i've only done boxing and muay thai and doing these sports has helped me with my confidence as well. Any tips that i could give is to just start doing it man, we all start somewhere and getting yourself into it is the most important thing you can do right now. Once you get there you just enjoy every moment of it coz the sport will help you not just to be a stronger and skilled person, but to be a better person as well. Go for it, man!
Goku Godlike ok thx!
answer starts at 1:24
Good move, thank you!
actually its worth waiting for 1min
Eh, you’ll get your answer but not know well what the question is?
I trained for 7 months in mma before my first fight two weeks ago and won 41 seconds into the first round by arm bar
Ethan Crockett Thats why i will never do mma. Those arm bars and legs locks and stuff (i dont know the correct terms) scare me. A punch to the head or ribs is nothing but those other moves scare me
Jimmy McManus As long as you tap out you have nothing to fear.
Nice man I'm wanting to get into mma too starting off with training for and reading your comment I'm definitely gonna start with several months of training gratz on the win even tho I'm late:)
@@luciannedelcu9894 lmao facts
Ethan Crockett man wow! So good to hear that .. But was that like from 0 or u trained for the fight for 7 months? Let me know man cuz ure gonna really help me out ! Thanx
You've gotta study, challenge yourself in training sessions, and take care of your body (diets, no substances, etc.) Also, be confident as hell. Trust yourself.
Real Natiiive some bruce lee stuff lol

Real Natiiive Indeed :)
Jon Jones is the best fighter (one of them at LEAST) and hes been doping for a long time not anymore for at least the moment but he still dominated when he was out of control. All depends on natural selection I suppose.
@@blaineburger9663 Depends on the person man, some people can party their asses off and get shit done, other can't
I had my first "smoker" 7-8 months in without any background ,but it really depends on the person , and how much you train . traning 3 times a week for 8 months and traning 6 times a week for 8 months is not the same thing
How much did you train?
This right here! I boxed for a year 5 days a week 3 hours a day and sparred people who claim 2 years but I always school them. Be super fit on your own time on top of training and you’ll be good
i just fought my first amateur mma fight last night. lost, took a lot of punches, but overall it was a fun experience and ill be doing it again in november. i just need to show up next time without being soo relaxed. if you watch the fight, NEF 35, i was the first fight and i was just too relaxed. as soon as i got hit good everything ive ever learned just went out the window. the cage is a completely different experience
Still, big respect to you.
@@theocho yea especially for talking about it and saying where we can see it and that he doing it again.
Do you have a ig?
Respect
Keep working brother !!! Go get it
Bro straight up.. Its all based on the individual and how fast they improve in there skills
For sure, which is why your coach will know best
fightTIPS Would you ever considered trying jiu-jitsu because your stand up is crazy!
Their* lol
McFab i agree, with my friend he took 7-9 months of training for his first fight and I've only had 4 month and im almost better than him and im prepping for my first fight in a month
You're*
3 years, everyday, 100 SIT-UPS, 100 SQUATS, 100 PUSH-UPS, 10 KILOMETER RUN and never use heater or air-conditioner.
Oh wow, I'm a dumbass lol >.>
lool that was a reference to One Punch Man anime, hahaha
Don't forget 3 meals a day! But a banana alone for breakfast is fine.
PikUpYourPantsPatrol wtf are u talking about he's trying to get his fighting skills up not be a bodybuilder
PikUpYourPantsPatrol I think most don't complete this work out I mean imagine going without ac everyday! hell na
CM Punk clearly doesn't have a coach he can trust.
lol...his coach told him he's ready for UFC.
he has never had a smoker or an amateur fight. his fame propelled him to the pros.
Right. Hardwork prevails, not fame, not money nor where you're from.
His coach is an all time great. CM Punk just sucks. He's not flexible, he's stiff, his kicks look terrible, and he moves around like a duck in water... If that duck had down syndrome, heavy retardation, and no legs.
Joshua Traffanstedt exactly Duke Rofus is one of the greatest kick boxers along with his brother and has trained multiple champions
I trained for about 5 months (boxing) before my first fight. I didn’t think I was ready but my coach did and all I needed was a little push. I ended up winning but it was damn close. The biggest thing I learned is I need to run my 5k more lmao
You must have had one damn good coach.One in a thousand really. Honestly, I wish someone pushed me to succeed like that, be it sports, music, dating, wise career choices, etc.
Is 5k really going to help fight endurance? I've heard people say that boxing cardio is different than long distance running
@@georgemartyn5268 it was more about recovery. We'd run the 5k, then do an hour an a half of actual boxing training
@@ltzubko looking back, what would you say improved your boxing stamina the most?
@@georgemartyn5268 countless hours of high intensity training improved my stamina. But there's no substitute for sparring, learning how to breathe and manage your stamina is just as important as improving it. You should be able to at least do some sprints and jogs for 5k If you want some gas in the tank when it comes time to actually step into the ring
Shane, you're the best!! In all your videos, you're a big source of help! Thanks
As a baseline median, you should take 4 months to 7 months before you are prepared to have full blown cage fights for 20 minutes or so. This is assuming you train atleast 1 hour a day and have a good coach/training partner. It took me 3 months to compete in amateur boxing and 5 month for amateur MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, and BJJ. I currently have a record of 10-0-0 and I'm 16.
hey man i know this commwnt was 5 years ago but im currently training to be a fighter and im 15. if you see this can you please tell me how to get into theese fights at such a young age
@@Chromi.__.jiujitsu talk to ur coach

I will be the future of UFC, Hopefully successful if anything!!
Stick to it bud anything i possible if you put your mind to it

See ya there
See ya there homeboy
Didn't know you had a podcast, awesome stuff dude!
Currently doing Wimp2Warrior in Canberra. First fight is after 20 weeks, your advice is worrying :') love the videos, keep them up!
do you fight yourself. you seem to have a great depth of knowledge with regards to different martial arts.
i was an Amateur boxer with a relatively successful career. i trained from 8 to 10 before i had my first fight, and went onto have a record of 68-8-1. I won three national titles, a European gold, a silver and bronze, and world bronze i beat the Darren Barker, James degale and a few other well known names as well as lost to maxim golovkin ( the best boxer i ever fought imo) Andy Lee and Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov ( another phenomenal boxer).
i would say have your first amateur fight when you feel ready, but only if you have a great relationship with your coach and pay heed to his opinion and suggestion. it's also totally ok to lose a few starting off. don't give up. i remember paddy Barnes lost his first 5 amateur fights and he went on to become one of the best Amateur fighters out there.
deano connors what an honour to fight Golovkin
did Paddy barnes not lose his first 12 fights?
deano connors why not go pro
Perfect timing 👏🏻👌🏻
Been watching a bunch of these videos. BLESS THIS CHANNEL. This is what I wanted lol
Anastasia McMeekin you got FB?
In the book Hagakuri (im not going to spell check that) otherwise known as, " The way of the Samurai", a very old Japanese book of compiled wisdom/thought s and general guide to how to live your life. Or in a modern take, the way to apply it, its basically, "how to be a gangster...with honor" lol. Seriously. Its the book featured in the movie "Ghost Dog" with Forrest Whitaker. it has a passage, (this is not word for word ok) but it basically says that a Samurai should recklessly throw themselves into situations and that decisions shouldn't take more than seven breaths. So like In Fight Club, get in to a fight once (be smart and dnt fight a gang or whatever) but once you break the ice, its truly life changing. You find out so much about yourself and so much more that i wont get into. Its my advice.or at least get hit a few times to kill the fear of the over hyped consicuences of getting hit in your head (again dont be dumb weighing 120lb starting a fight with a 6ft 6 bouncer or something) and don't get arrested (if u lose u probably wont be) i know i may sound crazy lol but it's liberating. I highly recommend the book though. The philosophy will be much better understood. An amazing read!
Similar to Shane, I have a black belt in Shotokan Karate and have done a fair amount of point sparring in competitions. I've been training Muay Thai now for about 5 months and I still have a lot to learn before I would feel ready to fight. It's a whole different game to step into and it takes time.
I did judo throughout elementary. Starting in middle school I got into wrestling and especially boxing. I have great skill in boxing (I won state many times), I wrestled for three seasons in middle school and high school and thus know the basics of wrestling, and I’ve done jiujitsu for a little under a year. I’m continuing with jiujtsu and I’m training in Muay Thai instead of pure boxing now.
Had my first Muay Thai fight after 4 months of training but I trained in Thailand, thats also where i had my first fight. I trained 1-2 times a day and worked really hard tho. I was pretty fit before as well but my fight skills was shit. I had a great experience and won my first fight by KO in the third round. If anyone else is thinking about having their first fight id recommend to get some really tough sparring before and if you're worried about your shins hurting and all that cause thats what was on my mind id say dont worry to much about it, it didnt hurt at all and i took allot of leg and rib kicks. I didnt check much kicks, the adrenaline took away all the pain.
how do you fight a women that got a hold of your nuts
Triangle choke
._.
Pee on her hand she will release you.
I see what you did there.
Tell her that u like her
And she will let go and say that u are like a friend
I am a 3rd degree brown belt in shorin ryu seibukan karate and have been training for 3 years 4 times a week but I started going 2 times a week 8 months ago , I have competed in a fair amount of in house tournaments, I personally trained for a year before competing in my first tournament
Dude I was just researching this and couldnt find an answer Thanks!
Ah, perfect!
Dude, thanks for asking the coach these things that do not interest you but us, who actually go into the line of fire every day in the gym to learn how to box and eager to have our first sparring.
Lost my first fight, but survived till the last round. I'm just an underdog, my enemy was a good athlete, still proud of myself, gonna comeback stronger
I trained for almost 2 years before my first kickboxing match. however I probably could have completed after about a year with the frequency I was training at. had I been training more often and harder maybe 6 months or less. There's a lot of variables at play and everyone progresses differently. i was in average shape when I started but I also wasn't training that hard to get into fighting shape, just trained to learn the moves. I didn't start actually conditioning myself until about 6 months ago. the guy I fought had only been training seriously for 3-4 months or so and he did pretty well but there significant skills he had not mastered or developed yet so I won pretty easily. like Shane said, if you've got a good coach and you trust them, they will know best.
Im at 6 months strictly Muay Thai and I put my name in for my first smoker. It's really up to my coach and finding an opponent in the other gym. It probably wont happen, I know it's still pretty early, but I'm training like it will. I'd say 10 months is a good general timeline.
Nice video Shane
I’m sixteen and I started 4 months ago. Been doing a 30 min heavy bag workout and 100 pushups and an ab workout everyday and still doing it. Been studying all the combos and The rhythm of punches, but I’ve never been actually punched in the face hard and I need to know how it feels or else when the time comes in a fight I won’t be ready at all. Decided to spar with a friend of mine who has done martial arts
Lol bro u need to gen into the actual gym, bag work is literally nothing without sparring with diferent people and drilling...
@@ChristheCEO1 Yeah I know but all the gyms have been closed due to the pandemic and shit but I think they are gonna open in summer when everything is cooled down and thats when I plan to go.
@@ronnocyam7167 what happened now?
My coach says only I will know when I'm ready
Cody Stuart r u ready now that it’s 6 months later

You have a podcast? Watching all of them right now!
This is the first one!
Honestly, I have trained BJJ fir 4 and a half years, nearly a purple belt, and if I did not take periods off due to dedicating time to university, I would be a purple. I have done a little bit of thai boxing and wrestle a bit. I feel if I have a few months to readjust and recondition myself to high speed grappling, then I will be decent enough on the ground to at least have a game to work off training for a fight. Not saying I would be fighting any time soon, I would need to get at least good enough striking to be able to defend strikes and be somewhat of a threat.
Personally, I will never be a pro fighter, I don't want to be, I want to be a 3d animator. But I love martial arts and I really want to test myself in a fight and an MMA fight is the best way to simulate a fight, I want to be able to know that I can really defend myself if the situation comes.
Me too. I've train for 10 years something to get black belt in taido. Also trained ground game and boxing. I'm gonna sign up for a fight next few months just out of my self obsession. So for you, you have trained alot, please go for it. I think it's natural when someone learn something, he/she wants to prove if they can make use of it.
If you're young don't be in a rush to have your first fight because if you lose you cannot take that back expressly if you perform badly
This is how a loser thinks
Do you think having a amateur fight 5 months into training is too fast?
Licht did your coach say yes?
Nice beer choice Shane!
Shane can you please make a video about how often and how long we should train in camp ?
Like Shane says, ask your coach.
Firstly, your coach knows if you're ready. He needs to know you have been training, he needs to know you'll put everything into the camp, he needs to know how skillful you are and how ready you are mentally.
That being said, you need to know when you're ready too. Watch your sparring footage against people who are better than you, are you training your max? Do you really want this? Are you ready mentally? Have you accepted that there's a good chance you're going to be completely mugged off in front of your friends, family, coaches, training partners and random people? Do you even really want to fight, or are you just doing it to please your coach?
I'd say 80% falls down to the coach and what they say, but there's a self assessment side where you NEED to know when you're ready. Be honest, be real, I know it probably hurts to look and think "I'm not ready yet", but it feels a lot lot better than the humiliation of losing. Take your time, fighting is here forever, you have a lot of fucking time to get better, like... a lot. And if you're not ready, train hard, keep working, stay humble, stay learning and smoke some weed lolz
good tips guys
I have a boxing background, but i stopped for 4 years. Now i'm training mma for 3 months now and next month is gonna be my first mma fight. But i can say i know a things about mma, the mechanics, the philosophies of it, doing stupid sparring with friends, wrestling in the sand. All those stuff, but never really had an actual mma fight and I'm so excited. Wish me luck, guys.
hellow shane i love your videos and i havent found the information or drills that you share, and i would like to ask you if you will be ok if i translate your videos in spanish ?
Thoughts on a top amatuer mma fighter competing in amatuer striking fights like boxing and muay thai to get their striking level to the next level? Since once you're pro in one combat sport, you're pro in all, would it be something that might help, or just seriously risk shortening your career over? Cause once I get back into training when my house situation is figured out, I'm looking at maybe giving boxing and kickboxing/muay thai a shot if I'm good in mma.
You can think about bouts when your doing good in sparring and turning up to all the sessions! there's alot to take into account. ex boxer talking and training young kids working on my bages.
I trained for a year before having my first kyokushin karate bout ! And abt 3-4 months before my first amateur Kickboxing bout!
Speak to me, after 3 years, where are you now?
I had my first "smoker" after 3 months of training without any background. I trained for 5-4 days a week for 2 hours each, focussing in particular on grappling. Didn't know how to boxe for shit, but i won by guillotine in the second round.
I have made other fights in the same year, 3 won by submission, 1 lost for points
Now I have almost 2 years of experience and hard work, doing BJJ and striking classes for MMA
progress ? you trying to go pro ?
@@stp6727 Yes man, still training, still winning, but before going pro i want to get the purple belt in bjj (currently blue) and more matches as an amateur (I'm 19, I'm doing it step by step and with patience)
Hey man where is the thumb nail from. I kinda want to see that fight. Tho the kids look so young, it seems that you are allowed to hit a grounded opponent🤔
It depends on the individual. I train from home!! I need to get my cardio/conditioning up first...then I will dive right in!! You gotta start somewhere
omg Shane will you be my coach that would be the greatest blessing EVER!!!!!
tl;dr 10 months
Hi Shane great info, you speak about roadwork, how much and how often does one do roadwork.
1-2 sprints a week, 4-5 jogs
For what distance? Twice a week I sprint for 10 sets of a football field 100 yards. I haven't ran for a while but I do jump rope hiit training style for 13 sets of 45 seconds on 30 seconds rest. should I run 3 miles a couple times a week also?
Interesting. Been training Muay Thai for 2 years or so with the last 7 months rather dedicated 5 times per week. My Thai coaches want me to fight and I do feel rather confident when sparring with other guys in the gym but my Thai gym tries to make me take on fights on 5 days notice like 'hey, next weekend, wanna fight?'. Coaches say that's no problem but as I have a normal job and don't always train twice per day I'm a bit skeptical about taking fights on short notice. Also I think I should adjust my sleeping / eating habits when getting closer to my fight while Thai coaches say 'mai pen rai' - just go for it. What's your take on that? Thanks! :)
Go for it. It makes you have more experience
shane think you so much for your training videos I've trained for 2 years and i have my first fight in 155lb mma this june
Jacob Ison Good luck bro
Great topic "and mental question"?!
Hey Shane,
You said 10 months, but how many days per week were you training for that 10 months? How many days of Muay Thai, how many days of weight training, how many days of cardio, etc. etc.
There's a lot of variables with that question
First muay Thai fight in a few weeks need the tips
Shane I'm into bodybuilding at the moment and have been for a couple years but I also love fighting and mma, i struggle coping with them both as my training at the gym makes me sore for my mma training, I don't want to give up either, any advice ?
I'm curious about the timeline if you had experience long ago. I trained muay thai and bjj from 5-21. I'm 28 now and thinking about getting into it. Hopefully some of my muscle memory will still be there. Lol
Hey Shane I was wondering if you could help me with my stance. I've been told that if your right handed then your left should be befire your right. But I'm more comfortable doing the opposite. What should I do? I know it's unrelated.
Hey Shane, any chance you can upload these to soundcloud aswell?
I go to striking101 and I’m currently a white belt with 3 stripes and will be getting promoted to blue around June. I usually spar with blue, yellow and green belts. I can do good with the blue belts but struggle with the yellow and green belts
I agree with what he said with all fights are counted for even if it's not on record. We train hard for just the sparing !
Looking to do my first amateur kickboxing fight while I fill the whole in my grappling before I step over to mma.
I recently got the urge to start competing in athletics again and feel the need to check off my athletic goals list before my time on this Earth comes to an end: 1) Amateur bodybuilding comp 2024, 2) Amateur powerlifting comp 2025, and 3) Amateur MMA fight 2026. I’m going to dedicate a year of training for each event starting this year August 1 so watching this video and reading the comments definitely gave me more confidence towards the MMA fight. I’ve always been a disciplined weight lifter/runner when it comes to my fitness since the age of 13 so I feel like I have a head start so to speak but I haven’t competed in a sport since 2013 (ex college baseball player) so I want to put my athleticism to some real tests for once! I’m excited about this journey and just the opportunity to take care of some demons in my brain that will haunt me forever if I don’t at least TRY to accomplish these goals. Wish me luck!
Even the most talented dedicated person will not be ready from never having done a martial art in less than 3 years. In my experience, the majority of people doing trheir first MMA fight alread y have years as karate, tae kwondo, wrestler, judo or some other art. Even though point sparring might not be a real fight, it certainly gives you massive ring craft advantage and awareness.
3 years of traning for first MMA match is ok to me but for Muay Thai and stuff like that i think it's a lot too much .
I guess it depends what level you're fighting at, but if it's full contact I'd be very concerned about putting someone in the ring with less than 3 years experience. I guess you could shave a year off that if they train 5 days a week or more.
True dat ! I've been traning Muay Thai for 2 years, and i started doing MMA so i'm taking BJJ classes and wrestling classes too , but i don't think i'm going to have my first cage fight this year, maybe next year . I'm 17 btw .
But i think it really depends on the coach too , my prev coach is from Thailand with over 300 fights ,he kinda knows his stuff , and i learned much more from him than from the other instructors .
Anyone who gets into a ring for a full contact fight has my respect for their courage if not their survival instincts! -) Good luck Szabo!
i think, once you have the footwork, core strength, and cardio, youre probably ready to fight. my first muay thai fight was after 9 months of training, got that L cuz my gym neglected to teach me proper footwork and core strength training. theres also a different mentality that goes into fighting rather than training imo.
I had my first amateur fight only after a few sessions, my coaches were happy even though I was barely there. some people just know how to fight regardless of the style
Amateur fight or smoker (UK interclub)? You must have been fighting Taekwondo or point Karate.
NuEnque no amateur mma, I've never done taekwondo or karate, my first fight ever was a full contact k-1 fight against a guy who was 5-0, so I guess we just do things different here in south africa
Im hyped and a little nervous for my first amateur boxing fights. Im 21 5'7" I have a 73in reach and i will fight at 132lbs but am extremely nervous to see what will happen.
Ive practiced traditional martial arts for a few years, (subakdo, its similar to taekwondo or karate) became national champion once, then because of health issues plus other stuff stopped practicing, i got in a fightckub where we fight with whatever rules we decide before the fight but didnt train in anything for a while, now after about 8 years since i was a champion (i was 17, so i competed with adults already at the time) i am prwcticing boxing... Because of my previous experience my techniques in "outside boxing" are kinda good, i wanne get better wt inside fighting tho...
Do you think one year might be enough training to compete in boxing?
6 months between first MMA training and my first ammy fight (had background in Ju Jitsu for 3 years). Have my third in June, won all so far.
***** Will do friend, thanks :) think it'll be an easy enough fight tbh, not alot of local talent where I'm from. Call it cockiness lol, but should be going pro within two years exluding injuries.
so do you start with like jui juitsu and kickboxing and train those 2 for lets say a year? because that doesn't seem like it would be enough. 10 months feels more like someone that has a black belt in something already :/ or is there like a straight up mma class that teaches you striking, kicking and grappling?
Shane do you have anymore of your fight stories? Everyone would love to here some more stories.
it depends on your natural skills you could be training since you were 5 but a guy Whit 4 months could whoop you.if your made for it your made for it.sad but true.
Jorge Garcia very not true
@The Last Round "naturally skilled fighter (power, creative angles n footwork, athleticism/good jaw) " literally some the most important traits in a top level fighter hahah know what you're saying though
@@RobRIPDG champions are made not born!!!! Anyone who thinks different are crazy
Ok if u been training since 5 then u haven’t been training hard at all if u get beat by a dude with 4 months of experience
Sometimes hard work beats talent, dont undarestamate
You said you have a black belt in Tae Kwon doe, and now you do muay thai. How well would you say those two arts go together? I ask because I have a black belt in karate, and I plan on starting muay thai and Bjj soon, and I'm concerned with if those two striking arts will complement each other.
I have alot of on and off months. Now iam almost on 4 months on without break. I think iam 70% ready for a local tournament. Maybe another 3 or 4 months is best. I am 24 now and afraid of time catching on. So gonna think about my 1st fight soon
Ron Happold yea because it felt like yesterday i was 20. Years come by so quick if you dont make the days count
Dont stress yourself, some ufc fighters started TRAINING martial arts when they were 25+
Get in the cage or ring and spar with a new opponent every new round for the maximum amount of rounds in ur sport. If you hold your own, you're ready. If you die in the first round train more.
I am (likely) going to fight in light contact mma after half a year of training.
It means no elbows, no knees, 20 % strikes to the head, almost full power body shots, chokes and submissions full. Stuff like body slams also not full force.
I feel good about that, what do you guys think?
Shane , I love boxing and I've wanted to start training but I cannot find any coaches or any boxing gyms
Gonna have my first fight tomorrow. May post the video on my channel.
@WideAwakeismI thought it was gonna be something with a big knockout or a submission but it turned out to be a light sparring match and only boxing.
I’m strongly thinking about starting my amateur mma career very soon, possibly towards the end of 2019
Same as me, I want to start amateur muay thai fighting after christmas or sometime after
I had my second fight in kick boxing after training for 4 months i almost won via knock out but he managed to stay up and comeback i was decent because i ve trained taekwondo for 7 years but my hands were below decent but apart from that i enjoyed it
Hey Shane, I literally just came from listening to your podcast on your site, but there's no video playback. It looks like a screenshot the entire time Was that on purpose? Thanks.
The problem comes when you don't have a coach that pays much attention at you. You can ask him many times, but he still won't give you a serious answer, and focus on his other fighters.
If that's the case, I might recommend switching gyms and coaches , even after you trained like hell and still no acknowledgement from them
Damn that's exactly what is happening to me i think :(
@@johnnyichigo3692 you have to make them pay attention,stand out and work hard
that says you dont work hard enough
In BJJ my record is 7-2, technically it should be 6-3 but they didn’t put it in right. First lost was in a tournament two months into my training, I lost horribly via arm bar. Can’t remember aside from that cause I was scared. Second tournament I lost to the same kid from the first one twice, but this time by points and only barely. Third tournament I feel like I got robbed tho, I mean it was a year later (a year and 4 months into training) so the og kid wasn’t there (bet I could’ve beat him now tho 😤) and I only got two matches cause one of my opponents quit after I beat them ending the gi bracket (really small tournament, would’ve had a best two out of three one v one)
9 days before first boxing match,didn’t have a coach, didn’t expect to win, just wanted to fight someone
I never did boxing or other sort of striking but abou 1.5 years of grappling and bjj. My coach wants me to do an amateur mma fight vs someone in my skill level. It would be in 1 month. Should I do it? I took some mma sessions but we never did actual sparring
Very good video. But I have one question: how can you handle the huge amount of stress the night before a fight and when you hear your name to get on the ring?
7 months i had my first fight i lost by points but know I know i am ready I know it the adrenaline that you put through you is wery good it helps you prepere for your 2 match witch is your real first match becuse trust me in the first match 95% of people dont know what they are doing.
I'm a Dutch kickboxer and my coach wants me to fight after 3 or 4 months of training already. I would but not having shin guards on is a scary idea to me. I haven't started conditioning myself really yet, so..
Any thoughts on that Shane?
Lennard that's a real short time training how did the fight go?
bump
bram9333 he won in 0.1 seconds...
Hey Shane could you start posting these to iTunes or SoundCloud?
I have my first smoker in 2 weeks after 7 weeks of boxing. It will be fun!
you should do a Q&A with the subscribers just a thought
My question is that local small mma grassroot or amature organization will let you fight if you don't have any coach or corner men.
Can you go there alone pay registration fee and fight
I'll say this when you have really good sparring partners it makes your first fight a breeze as long as you can take some pressure.
Today is the first day in my journey and dedication to getting in the cage for my first MMA fight. I’ll try to remember to come back to this video and update you all on how it went!
how did it go
@@klearr-1517not well I assume
@@patstar2473 lol
I’ve been training for 3 months Muay Thai & my coach asked me if I want to do a smoker, a little nervous lol
Shane should you train a day before a fight ? For example i go and train on saturday and have a fight on sunday ?

Wtf a week? No.
No, not unless you have to cut weight. Otherwise relax mentally and physically, 24-48 hours before. Just light shadowboxing.

Read Shane's comment. Rather it be Boxing or MMA match you never wanna go a week without training especially when you're training for a fight.. Ideally you rest a day or two before the fight.

Gucci Boy if you're actually scheduled for a fight and you're asking fight tips for preparation advice, you're not ready to fight. If you don't and you're just attention seeking, stop commenting.
Thats actually a great fight

Balogun Black_panther did u win?
Yes boss I won my fight
Shane, how many times were you training Muay Thai a week in the 10 months leading up to your first fight? Also, do you treat a smoker like as if it was a fight or do you treat it like it's sparring?
