Good fundamentals are one thing but punches can land differently during sparring especially considering the differences in body structure from one guy to the next. That's taking range at least a little out of the equation cause not everyone fights the same. Knowing angles is very crucial and should be taken note of when shadowboxing which is why it's useful to slow down when practicing (bag or shadowboxing) so you can fully get the feel of your body mechanics at certain angles and ranges. Of course, experience and also an array of sparring partners go a long way. The ability of each sparring partner sort of dictates what you can or should work on with the other guy. The better feel that you get for this in sparring, the better you're able to work on it in shadowboxing/ bags/ mitts etc. This is why the argument of being one-dimensional is both valid and invalid.
What I use is a tennis ball double end bag that I try to hit with combinations while moving around changing angles different speeds different tensions, heights, etc.
It's like shadowboxing with a moving target.
When you spar after doing this for a while, your timing and accuracy is improved and your punch choice can be adjusted to the openings in the middle of a combo without having to think. It's all in muscle memory.
dang. been training in karate for years and wondered why my roundhouse seemed off. never thought turning in advance like that would make such a huge difference. It was exactly as you described: sluggish and off. the point about the punches makes sense too: tailor the combos depending on whether you wanna go for speed, power, fake-outs, or fewer openings.
Awesome to hear it helped bro. You’ll like my next video which is all about this and dives deep into kicking in this way.
@@grantstevensma heck. yes. looking forward to it ^^
This was such an amazing video! I really like how you boil down and thoroughly give your explanations. I was hoping if you could make a video about defensive measures sometime in the future?
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful. I'll definitely look into making vids on your suggestions also
Great stuff, will be applying it in todays shadowboxing session. Thank you for that man!
Big inspiration over the last few months for me. Listen to the theory that this man is teaching and the answers will be in your actions!
💯 👊🏼
Really enjoyed this one. I appreciate how succinctly you are able to describe these steps toward speed and fluidity, into tips anyone can use to improve. This is useful to beginners too, to have something to work towards. Great highlights at the end. Top notch!
Thank you 🤙🏼
Another awesome tutorial. Great masterclass in explaining the nuances of technique, without wasteful energy. Thank you Grant. You are truly a master of your craft. Have a Good One :)
Impressive technique and nice video. It has given me some ideas to practice different punching ranges. Looks powerful and effortless.
Glad to hear it bro
@@grantstevensma Hello, awesome videos! I love your kicking techniques. May I make a wish/suggestion for a video that I'd really love to watch?
@@jamnica2006 sure thing
@@grantstevensma Nice. A few rounds of high kicks against boxing techniques in a light sparring session with a pure boxer (it would be cool if he's also taller and heavier than you).
If I had RUclips as a kid, I’d be world champion
This was ace! Was literally thinking about this earlier haha cool bit of sync there, the demo and explanation was excellent as always demonstrating that trademark explosive adaptability 🙏
Excellent, very generous of you to share this!
Good examples, learned a lot -- now time to practice.
Great video man ! And congrats on 16k subs ! I remember watching your previous videos of you shadow boxing with speed and I was trying to copy it but was confused on how my wasn’t as tight and sharp as yours it felt like as if my muscles were fighting each other to get back in guarding position but really I was just over extending them ! Same with kicks !
The little tweaks are super insightful.
Great stuff.
Great technical video my friend!
So clean and crisp 🔥🔥🔥
Dude, this tip about front loading the rear shoulder is god damned gold. Thank YOU!!! Subbed and liked!
Thanks bro!
Great content brother 😍😍 big fan yours ❤❤ plz upload more often
Quality takes time bro, patience 🙏
This guy is amazing and his explanation is great
Thank you
Best shadow boxer on RUclips.
Hello from all the way from panama, good exponetion, ia love boxing you really domineat the art of fast striking
Clean and efficient 👌🏻
The biggest disadvantage though for the whipping motion over the brutally cut through motion is the precision, it increases significantly in order to hit 1 specific target, whereas basy vs whip,the basy once hits,does damage no matter where it hits...if u miss the whip it sux potentially more than hitting through with a hard swing style kick...u just turn with it to be in guard again, or u connect with a backfist...
actually these videos makes advanced in my training
🙏
You do make valid points and I think that swithing up you timing is very important as one progresses especially in comp. I also feel like if your landing those kinds of shots you are kind of doing yourself a disservice by not using full rotation and punching through your opponent. Not necessarily loading up but as you demonstrate when first showing technique before the modified version, your shots are plenty good and if you are connecting then isn't it better maximize the effectiveness of those shots. When you where talking about Maywhether he throws those kind of punches when he is just toying with guys. If you watch his fights with skilled fighters. He doesn't throw those kind of punches and he lets his hands go with intention. Cause he knows his opponent is also throwing with intention. If you watch professional strikers I. Mma, boxing, muy Thai, k1 just about every shot has bad intentions with full extention. I do really like the kicking technique you demonstrate. I feel my kick are a little slow and I try and use set ups to get them off. I am definitely going to start implementing that quicker approach. I love your content would like to see some more videos on foot work. You have some pretty good movement
Thanks for the comment man. Yeh I understand what you mean, but you can definitely push that shoulder in with power as well. The Mayweather clip probably wasn't the best demonstration as it was just in a play sparring environment, but I've noticed Davis does this a lot though and in his fights as well. His cross looks incredibly fast and un-telegraphed because he gets that shoulder forward very quickly. You kind of said it already in the kicking example in the second part of your comment. I see it's really the same principle with the punching, getting the work done early.
This kid is a machine does he have any fights
Incredibile
Creazy !!!
New to the channel. You are a very intelligent and technically skilled young man. I am going to subscribe. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Victor, glad you find the videos useful 🙏🏼
@@grantstevensma may I ask what are thr styles you train? Looks like boxing and Karate.
@@user-fd3tl5li8n shadow boxing? When was that mentioned? What was this comment in response to?
Great video, thank you. Quiet audio, though.
Can you do a similar type of video for Elbows & Knee Strikes
Great idea man will do!
Thank you very much Grant. Could you make a video on how to increase stamina?
Good idea man will do!
Title should be changed to Art of Fast Striking. "Fluidity" would mean the use of combinations of both speed and power shots in progression throughout an entire fight. Any experienced fighter wouldnt use just speed shots or power shots the whole time. So it's the sequence of integrating speed and power shots in tandem to be less predictable and master the actual Art of Fluid Striking
The variations in the movements/combos create greater fluidity in the combos as a byproduct because you’re not over exerting and having to then backtrack, wasting movement; hence the name of the video, but I think we have different ideas of the meaning
Great video. A lot of interesting and important details.
When is about your flexibility- how many times you do stretching per week?
I don't really stretch to be honest, but should do more. I recommend about 3-4 times per week to improve and take a days rest in between. PNF Stretching is best
@@grantstevensma interesting. You don’t stretch much but you are very flexible.
thanks all i need to do is put my video on xs2 and ill be that fast 😀
Very great video, thank you very much for your work. Do you squeeze your fists before or while you strike? I am a bit confused by the different opinions on that topic
I think it's a subconscious thing, but I do it just before I strike then relax again immediately afterwards. That's when hitting something though, I don't do it when shadowboxing, like in this video so this isn't a good demonstration to see that
Good Job Bro. I was always wondering why my hook comes in so slow and feels awkward
Glad it helped man
was warming up a few weeks ago with shadowboxing and this russian man (liquor on his breath) strarted yelling at me because i wasnt fluid and now im only allowed to throw 1 2's
lmao the liquor breath killed me
have you competed??
I think you just miss the biomechanics that explain that fluidity, and is the shoulder always being on front. You kinda mention it on the first cross, but that applies for everything else, If you maintain the shoulder in front or aligned to the head after you finished the punch you can more easily chain it to another punch. That's how Frolovs teach (soviet style)
I wanna see some sparring
like
Don't you think all the shoulder movement creates too much momentum? That can leave you off balance why not rotate at the hips instead and allow your shoulders to rotate with your hips. Especially if your moving
This would only happen if you had a really weak core causing lack of stability. Shoulder drive is essential. I am absolutely rotating through the hips as well
@@grantstevensma absolutely. But this creates a habit of leading with your shoulders instead of your feet. Shouldn't you find your balance in your hips and core from the start? The most powerful punch is generated from your core and hips
I know and have made many videos about it. This is a video focussed on one aspect of the activity. It’s not intended to be a complete guide
Young Conor McGregor was a master at fluid movement. Sad he doesn’t do it anymore.
Yeh he was great! When he gained weight it all went away
You're just a g
Box sings...
That is the biggest pigeon I've ever seen
They are so loud and just mate all day 😡
Might get myself one of those toupes you're rocking there mate. That's a hairstyle you're going to regret in the future man. Everyone on earth has a shocker of a barnet at one point or another. And you'll be making videos for as long as you want. You've only just got started, relatively, and you're top tier. Great content and you're a natural teacher. Looking forward to following.
Thank f#@k you're not a heavyweight 😂😂
I've spoken to you on Instagram before. Definitely meeting up for some coaching...👊
💯
damn ! great video
thanks bro!
