fightTIPS you see I noticed you do something that everybody on RUclips comment Warriors like to talk crap about but I actually understand the reason you froze the guy and had him give you a chance to explain better your reason for the technique everyone always says oh he froze he stopped he wouldn't do that in real life it should be free sparring explanation sometimes you have to freeze your opponent like what you just did when he's at the freight train versus the wall example you had to freeze him in order to explain the technique people never get that they think so he throws a punch and stops that's unrealistic no one would ever do that know if you're teaching a technique to someone they have to see what's going on they have to see the example in a frozen position I'm so glad you did that I believe that that's necessary a lot of times when teaching someone

Aggressive sparring partners ruin beginners, my first time sparring the dude I was training with had about 10 years of experience on me, 20/30lbs of muscle on me, and he was throwing hooks so heavy that I left the spar feeling rocked and dizzy. Made me anxious sparring in future, some people forget sparring is just that. Sparing. Not fighting. Or brawling.
Some people are assholes who like beating on beginners. When I picked up Muay Thai I sparred with a guy who was the same, he had a good 40lbs on me and kept slamming my front leg with kicks. Definitely were not full power but he was putting a good amount of power behind them and I did not know how to defend them. After about the 4th good one I dropped for a second. Right when I got back up he kicked the same leg again making me drop. Got up again, same thing. He was not even trying to work other things once he started dropping me or give me a quick tip on how to defend. Just kept pounding away at the same spot.
Ya I'm currently on the same boat, I know I can knock this boi out, but I keep telling him, I'm tryna learn Bob and weave, I don't wanna start a real fight n hurt him, because I need him for training
Remember, 50% is more dangerous than 100%. Either agree to go as lightly as possible, or just fight. But you will log fewer hours sparring hard all the time.
Depends on the person, some like aggression, some like defense. I love being defensive, so I tend to use counters, slips, and feints. And as long as you dont walk into a punch, trying to create an angle, youre fine.
Personal experience, I used to just kind of pussy out and keep light sparring/tapping my opponent even if he was going hard at me. As a result I was often on the receiving end of a lot of bad hits. My coach just told me rise up to their level of aggression, and I did, and most of my partners took it well. They respect the jab, they back off, and it becomes an actually productive session.
then practice on your power, so when they become aggressive you overpower them BOOM, trust me, one good solid straight to the chin, or uppercut will tame them
Just train and make your technique more sharper and better, i may not overpower my sparring partner because in term of power he is way above me, but i can keep throwing punch even its not enough to knock him out, definitely enough to "wake" him up and he started to control his rythm
I personally find some hard sparring extremely valuable. Learning to stay calm and relaxed when your opponent is trying to take your head off, is something that most of us have to work at, especially when we're inexperienced. People have a tendency to tense up and becoming rigid or getting angry and forgetting all about technique. Of course, if 2 guys are levels apart, no one will be if it from it.
I need help to deal with this sparring partner of mine he is a good friend of mine but he is 15kg heavier than me we decided to spar body for 6 round 2min and at some point he started running at me and just throwing body hooks super hard none stop and i try fighting backwards but he is more like running towards me
@@owengames3630 Hi Owen. Are you able to see a pattern to his combinations? For example, when he throws a left hook to your right side does he usually follow with a right hook to your left side? If so, as soon as his left lands, throw your left before his next shot lands. Yeah, I know, easier said than done, but it's all timing and takes a lot of practice. Don't look to win the round, but aim to to have slightly more success than previous sessions. Then build on it. Don't throw your shots too wide and practice your game plan by shadow boxing when you can. If you know all this already, sorry if I came across as patronising!
Daddypants11 yeah i know what you mean but sometimes you gotta deal with them one way or another and thats the best way for me, or overpower them, check out my sparring vids, the longer vid im sparring an aggressive, and the second short vid, im just helping someone out
Lol this is perfect, I'm about to spar with a tall russian kid, he dosnt understand what light sparring means so I guess it's pretty much gonna be a fight
The times I've been able to spar w/Russian trained fighters, they usually don't go super hard. They prefer to log hours at medium intensity. Good advice in the vid
Coming from someone that's been knocked down by my own coach being aggressive, this is absolutely true. People get so emotional and proud when they out on gloves in the ring. Sometimes you gotta hurt somebody just to gain some respect to calm people down.
Have this crap at the moment. Everybody I spar with I can handle... apart from our coach who has injured me more than anybody else. Last time out I tagged him with a jab to the nose, real light.. he got annoyed and nailed me with a side kick.. heel to the ribs hard enough to leave me in serious pain for over a week. He also throws shit like round kicks with the ball of the foot to the face in 'light' sparring and has nearly broken my nose before. Bit fucking sick of it but training options are painfully limited where I live.
@@mrpringle9479 Moot point right now since we are not allowed to do group training, let alone spar... which really sucks. But yes.. I have had several conversations about it with him. It's not malice, he's a great guy.. but he was 'brought up' a certian way with his training and old habits die hard.
@@notmyname3681 I know your feel bro! I live in a small town/area and no martial arts gym anywhere, but please if you're still in that gym go away and don't go back to that gym. Your TRAINER beating the shit out of you IT'S NOT A TRAINER and i've experienced that for YEARS, just for your same reason. Not having a good gym around for a proper learning. So please if you still in that gym go away and don't go back to that place. It's a fucking free service for killing your brain cells. You supposed to learn how to deal with agressive sparring partners because it's a very good thing to learn and actually very helpful in your real fights. But not from your "trainer". PS: I've experienced too talking with my trainer and he saying "Yeah but this is how we learned", this dude is a great guy too but all is he doing is exchanging REAL brute experiencie and real technic, for figthing, for just power shots and hitting strong. There was low resources of learning in the past so it's understandable but that's not how you spar these days. You gotta ask yourself how figthers right now are able to fight to even 45-50 years old. Not by beating theirselves out while training that's for sure.
Circling away and not getting trapped in the corner combined with body punches are my go-to in sparring. Seeing my partner slow down and toning down the aggressiveness after a few clean punches to the gut boosts my confidence a lot.
I remember when I used to do hard sparring, due to the fact when i started sparring they went hard on me so i carried the bad habit with me. But now i work on specific things in sparring and go accordingly to how opponent goes, so no more trying to beat up the sparring partner but rather focusing on improving your abilities.
I once sparred this streat guy who was going super hard, i told him to go light and his response was, this is my light. I easily stopped him with the freight train to a brick wall technique by jabbing him in the solarplexes everytime he jabbed at me, he was very predictable
Before the spar begins i always go to my partner and say "Look, im gonna hit you as hard as you hit me so keep that in mind" i've never had any trouble with anyone and the only people i've sparred a little harder with were some pro guys.
@@NoOneAM2 Whenever anyone has said that to me, I took it as a warning, because while I’m a big dude, they were a better fighter and would piece me up for it. Basically.. “yes, I know you can hit hard.. but you probably shouldn’t” It doesn’t have the same impact when they can just respond “you can try”.. all you did was ignite their ego 😂
An agressive opponent is a great way to work your counter skills. An over hand elbow, front snap kicks, sidekicks that hyper extend the knee, and flying knees are your friends. Plus it's there fault for coming in agressive and getting caught.
peter powell Really? How do you practice them then? Thai schools do it. Hell they even knee you in the face when you're down in Thailand. It's allowed but frowned upon in my school (Renzo's). It's only dangerous if you have the skills to set them up and hide them. That being said you're allowed to retaliate if someone is being a dick for sparring. Throwing one without someone trying to take your head off will get you banned.
peter powell I guess it's preference. I say it's impossible to learn counter with an elbow without sparring. You'd have to do it live to understand it. Especially a intercepting lead left elbow or overhand elbow. Kneeing should not be allowed I agree with that. My school allows it. But no one really tries it. Sure way to get tossed or put in a arm triangle.
First kickboxing sparring session I've ever had, my sparring partner who was 20 kgs heavier than me kicked me in the head at full blast. Gave me a black eye and a splitting headache. I thank the man every day for teaching me that combat sports are dangerous. Fast forward to today, I never got lazy with my defence ever again! You'd never catch me with my hands down and my ducking/weaving/countering had become second nature all for the sake of never getting hit that hard again. That guy made me a better fighter!
I have to admit, your strategies are better than mine... When my partner goes to hard, i try to make him feel like "he has the fight" (usually those who go to hard in sparing think its a fight) and then, when they start throwing wide open because they think im out, i hit them as hard as i can right in the chin... Usually, they dont go as hard the next time... But its an eye for an eye... Wich is never a good option...
That long knee in conjunction with teap kicks won me my first muay thai fight. The guy was aggressive as all hell, and kept rushing me like a bull. This stuff works guys
Great video! The tip 2 was my favorite, I've had a few accidental collisions with sparring partners with a jab and they were moving in quicker than I expected. It was a lesson that taught me that an opponents forward momentum can be used as a tool against them if they aren't careful.
I’ve always been reluctant about sparring. Being a complete novice, I was one of the gym I was going to which I was told had a reputation for allowing guys like me to think I was getting in a sparring experience but in actuality I was an experienced fighter’s punching bag for the day.
This is my summary: When you have an aggressive sparring partner dknt move back in a straight line kove to the sides and dont let them get you in a corner keep feintjng and finding angles The train against the brick wall when they are foming at you use their momentum to hit them with a straight punch down the middle or a knee to the solar plexus jn muah thai or a straight elbow to the head in a fight or with a sifekick to the stomach if they are moving straight towards tou
Nothing wrong with having an aggressive sparring partner. Just get better than them. Take over the fight to teach them the weaknesses on their style of fighting. Simple as that. If an "aggressive" sparring partner is too much for you, then fighting sports aren't for you. Learning to fight different kinds of fighters will make you a better fighter. Dont give up just because they overwhelm you! You got this 👍
@ImprovingDaily0 aggression could mean just eager and spamming punches and kicks instead of being patient and thinking with each move. If they are trying to kill you on the other hand thats a different story. Someone too busy spamming increases more opportunities for a counter. Which is why I think its an opportunity to adapt.
This is quite true and unfortunate. However, as long as you communicate with your sparring partner and take it slow it should be fine. At least in the gym I attend, we keep it cool and under control.
David dude it is a though situation it is not the trainers fault im a 125 pounder and there is one guy who is like 170 pounds and he goes al out on me like it is a match and not a spar the trainer tells him to not go hard but he just keeps doing it
I guess I need to quit my current gym. The trainers are encouraging people to go hard so they'd feel pain and be more vigilant with their defense. How's a beginner supposed to learn to slip punches when the opponent's tryna knock u out?
That is very very terrible. Find another gym. Anywhere you go, only amateurs preach that kind of "go hard, it's real" culture. Unless you're in a fight camp, going more than 50% is not necessary. There are lots of pro fighters who don't go all out in sparring.
marq Ok I don’t get it isn’t going hard the whole point of sparring What’s the point of learning to slip punches if a niggas throwing them at half the speed it’s actually gonna come in a match. Just use pads or a cobra bag if you wanna slip
@@charles8769 you can still go pretty fast, mabye not 100% but it doesnt have to be slow. However they should go light. Just because you spar with some speed doesn't mean you need to spar hard. And besides, learning takes time, starting slow and sparring faster later on is a better way to train
I am thankful for hard sparring. It prepares you for a rough fight. It makes you better at defense, staying calm under pressure, etc. My very first spar was a seasoned puncher trying to knock me out. I went three rounds bloody bruised and tired. This taught me what I was getting myself into. I never get beat up like this again, because that butt whooping made me hungrier. I am thankful for those rough fighters. If you are angry at them, then you have three choices... dont spar them, get better at defense, or just give up fighting altogether because it's not for you.
Lance Criminal me too one one of my first sparring sessions my last spar was against a really strong dude and I was tired could barely keep my arms up but this guy threw some hard heavy punches and in one of those he demolished my solar plexus with a perfectly timed straight. That thought me to never give up on defense. But there was also another dude that was extremely aggressive and loved to aim at the head, headshots piss me the fuck off so once that guy got tired I pummeled him into oblivion until he gave up. Hard sparring is good if done in moderation. Cheers
Graham Mutter like I said. It made me hungrier and I got way better at defending and overall fighting because of the hard punches. Now it's very difficult for me to get hit with a flush shot. I obviously don't spar 100% all the time. If you're worried about CTE then get better at not getting punched, or just don't bother taking it seriously. If you're doing this as a hobby and recreational and fitness, then I understand what you're saying is true. But serious, want to be champions should be willing to take that risk.
My style is agressive infighting, and this really explains how my sensei countered me all the time with his front kick and side kick, but I learnt feints and I can step to the side whenever I want now to do body shots, great video.
That's the ideal state. Once you get really experienced with this training method you can spar hard every session, and come home or wherever you may be and know that you've never done hard sparring. What am I typing who are these people in my house? What's a phone?
It's all about gaining respect inside the sparring. Agressive sparring partners have an "over-confidence" problem very often. (Just as Bullys, they often don't recognize they are being idiots) Being external interests (like looking good/strong, maybe for external validation) or just personal interests that just differs from yours, the reason of going hard that your partner has; You gotta let him know that you are all about gaining experiencie and being technical but show him power if he is too agressive. After that they will have respect to you. Avoid being agressive just like him. Just give them a nice straight right hand cross to the stomach or face. It's all about gaining your respect and stop them in the right moment. They will walk back and fear your right hand. I've experienced that.
I haven’t watched the vid yet but in case you don’t explain this, the peekaboo strategy is probably the best for aggressive people, it’s like your playing defensive but as soon as you see an opening hit it with full force
Exactly the guidance I was looking for . I was getting pushed back by my sparring partner and starting to get afraid ..... Thank you Shane and coach pj -Love from India
I've been boxing for about 5 years and it's funny that this video pops up in my recommended because I'm going through this in my first month at a muay thai gym. Everyone is nice and constructive to me learning something new except for one guy that's been doing this a lot longer than me. The 1st and 2nd time we sparred, he pieced me up with some solid combos I've never seen first hand before with some real pop behind his shots. Long story short, I just used a simple double jab, overhand right that landed pretty crisp and he seemed to have slowed down a bit for now. I'll have to tell him to tone it down if it happens again. Thanks for the vid Shane
Oh, this brings back memories. And number two is absolutely right. I got ROCKED by one of the black belts when I went aggressive. The heel kick to the chin really puts that misbehavior right into perspective, and right then and there, too.
What a coincidence this is! Today during training the trainer said we were going to light spar, so I was like “cool” so after one round we had to switch partners I decided to go against this guy. I knew he tended to be more on the aggressive side as I had sparred him before but I assumed he would take the trainers word to heart. So first punch he threw was a hard straight right to my face (we were supposed to do only body sparring) I managed to block it and signaled with my hands he should calm down. He then threw a leg kick and I decided not to check it just to see if he actually calmed down. He didn’t, so when he attacked again I hit him with a straight to the body and a follow up left hook to the body, I then tied him up in a full Thai clinch and kneed him in the plexus, which accidentally dropped him. Great video as always Shane in the year that I’ve been doing kickboxing I really feel like your videos have given me an edge. To anyone new to this channel listen to this man! He really is an amazing coach. Great video as always Shane I appreciate everything you do!
Although aggressive sparring partners are annoying it’s better to know how to deal with them in the ring. If you’re an official fighter, you might end up fighting with someone aggressive someday. If you’re just learning to defend yourself, should confront them too, most people without any fighting technique usually fight like this. If it’s just recreative boxing-Muay Thai or whatever then this video is very good. Just keep going in and out, also focus more on speed than strength remember that at around 15 good jabs the opponent starts getting dizzy which leads to them getting slower that way you can make yourself a way to the win. Also body shots are very good sometimes you can even punch their arms, believe me, it will make the aggressiveness go away.
At the stry if tour partner is bejng to aggressive let them know and ask them to take it down a nodge you dont want to many hits to the head you just want to learn and practice your defende and movement And if they dont then tell the coach and let them know
When I started Kyokushin Karate way back in 1968 (I was 15, now 66), I asked my instructor how I can beat the other guy, especially since I was (and am) skinny. He said "be just a little bit faster and a little bit more powerful than your opponent." 4 black belts later as a pressure point fighter and 10 more years of kick boxing under world champion Benny the Jet Urquidez, as well as a 2 hour daily workout to this day, and I've become a skinny un-intimidating non threatening potential victim that hurts bad guys. Fast as lightning, tough as a box of rocks.
Put them to sleep once for that nonsense, then when they wake up let them know to chill out. I find it levels people out. Obviously this a last resort for those who don’t listen or care about teammates. Great video you’re always dropping great knowledge.
THANK YOU for this video (and the hurricane bag one too). I actually have the issue of being a large K1 Kickboxer and Muay Thai student, but I am really peaceful guy. I think it invites a lot of aggression from fighters. I've felt unloaded on and usually back off and talk or practise my defenses but the grapple or clinch you shown is actually the advice I was looking for. Just to protect myself until the aggression stops. Sparring is for playing.
I think it's also good to point one example of what "not" to do, because I've seen this a lot: don't be that guy who says some version of "ease up or I'm gonna hurt you." For one thing, most people who say that are bluffing because they don't want to seem weak and all it does is create tension and the potential for the situation to escalate further. I've known many people who may go a little too hard in sparring but they are also fine with taking hard shots in return, so if you don't want to be doing that kind of hard sparring, then be honest with yourself and your training partners; set your ego aside and start by asking them to ease up in a respectful manner.
In sparring might seem shitty to have someone go too hard and aggressive but it's actually a good thing if you could handle it and if you force yourself to endure it. Getting used to hard and intense, aggressive sparring sessions prepare you for competition like nothing else could - not only for the physical aspect of it but also for the mental aspect. I used to hate those guys who go 90 % during sparring on a casual training day but after a couple of competitions I actually learned to appreciate those exact guys who didn't hold back cause through them I improved the most.
@@albertalbert1112 I dont feel like I’m getting better with light sparring. Yep I go hard and I’m getting my ass kicked but I’m getting better and better
It really depends on the context of your partner. If you are a new guy fighting somebody on pro level and they go all out on you, you will never learn a thing because you’ll be getting hammered the entire time. However if you have at least minimal experience and your partner is about the same level of experience as you, aggressive sparring isn’t as big of a problem
I agree that is helps but I also think that hard sparring is something we should do only once in a while. Drills should be enough for you to prepare you for a hard sparring.
@@Tunebox29294 So you're fighting instead of sparring? Good luck down the road to you when you only have a few fights under your belt and CTE because you weren't smart enough to sharpen your skillset.
I think a huge part for newbies too, is that standing your ground, at least briefly before angling out can be important against constant aggressors. If they charge you and you respond by moving back you're (generally) loosing power.maybe back up a little but then plant your legs heavy, move your head to dodge simultaneous sending a hard 2 down the middle to try to use his force against yours, then immediately angle out :) If anything this will hopefully get him to respect your space more at least, even if you don't land the punch.
I think there is a disconnect here: I don't consider "aggressive" and "hard" to be synonymous. An "Aggressive" fighter is one who is constantly moving forward, and throwing a high volume of punches. In a "Hard" sparring session it is the case that the other fighter is simply throwing entirely too much power around. I have sparred in several occasions where my opponent was very aggressive but also very controlled. Having said that...I DO have a fight coming up and I know that my opponent is highly aggressive so I will be absolutely sure to practice and use some of your strategies. Also good on you for pointing out that some people just don't KNOW they are sparring too hard...more often than not that has been my experience as well...and when mentioned they've IMMEDIATELY apologized.
Samuel 24 I'm usually the bigger dude but there is one in my gym who's bigger than me. What I do is go full guerrilla on him. Keep him at bay with jabs (or teeps) whenever he rushes in (the brick wall analogy Shane made in this video) and let him wear himself out. Once he tires, I play offense and start the hit-and-run stuff: jab n' hook to the body, jab-cross, throw the uppercut if I feel safe enough...keep on this one-two and back away a step or two. Basically, you're letting him chase you around most of the time. It's not a highlight reel process but it works.
I saw this pop up on my feed literally the day after a spar with a new guy at the gym. He's a newer guy, been there about a week or so and comes in about 1-2 days a week. He was a very aggressive sparring partner. He outweighs me by about 50-70lbs. Throughout the spar he continuously rushed in and threw haymakers. After a minute or so I realized he was just going too hard and started firing back some bigger hits of my own, going for more body shots to try and gas him out and turn down the volume on his shots but unfortunately **take note** while doing this I almost broke my hand(on his face). When the buzzer rang for round two; he opted to dip out. So if you get someone like this, keep in mind it's not just the damage they can do to you.. but the damage you can do to yourself if you get caught up in the moment. Take care of those hands
Don't quit. Similar thing happened to me. 2 months later and some private lessons and I'm doing much better. All my friends are super impressed with my progress. Ur gonna be a killer.
Just watch pacquiao marquez 3, train your timing and footwork and train corkscrew punches with counters and train it to hit his orbitals, nose and temple your goal is to make him convulse like a newborn baby by countering his force really hard with a corkscrew to his temple and punch through the target as well
@@MarkzBaui26 bro you’re telling him to strike a man full force in the temple? You do realize thats how you put a man in a coma or kill him, no? Yeah nobody likes an overly aggressive dick head but purposefully full forcing somebody in the temple aint it
@@aaz1010 He’s trying to do it to you, what’s the difference? I don’t think hurting people at training is smart, but I’ve never been upset to see the aggressive idiot unconscious.
@@samblack5313 overly aggressive idiots usually don’t target that specific of an area. And if they are 1. Dont spar with them or 2. Get them kicked out
I told someone to go light with me in boxing and he almoat knocked me out and people started laughing, so I got angry and punched him out until the round ended. He got out the ring and started crying.
Fabricio Javier Sierra Nah some were mad but if i tell you go light you should respect me enough to do it. I box because i know alil about how people treat people who aren't strong enough to defend themselves. I felt like he was tryna take something out on me so i had to let him know i wasn't going out like that.
I was sparring the aggresive guy yesterday and we fought equally in the first round i stayed jabbing in the 2nd and 3rd an caught him with a check left hook that made him drop the fourth round i got a little too confident and got caught with a combo glad i kept my hands up learned allot from you bro!
My teacher offered a 2 step rule: 1) Politely ask them to dial back 2) If '1' doesnt work, hurt them moderately, but very distinctly and ask "do you want to train, or do you want to fight?" Of course, if the person picks the latter option, you need to be prepared to follow through.
How to deal with an aggressive sparring partner? You just beat his ass.... eventually in boxing it gets to a point where mostly everyone is aggressive, they all come hard and throw punches you have to use ur skills to deal with them
Once I had this type of partner in sparring. This guy was bigger than me(bigger weight, I'm actually higher than him) he was about 265 pounds when I weighted about 165 pounds. His hits were really hard(he almost knocked me out with his right hook).I slowed him down by good right uppercut(roll under his right hook and throw right uppercut). In my opinion it's good too spar against someone like this once in a while, because it's the best way to learn how to counter. Great video as always, keep up the good work Shane!

Aggressive sparring partners ruin beginners, my first time sparring the dude I was training with had about 10 years of experience on me, 20/30lbs of muscle on me, and he was throwing hooks so heavy that I left the spar feeling rocked and dizzy. Made me anxious sparring in future, some people forget sparring is just that. Sparing. Not fighting. Or brawling.
Some people are assholes who like beating on beginners. When I picked up Muay Thai I sparred with a guy who was the same, he had a good 40lbs on me and kept slamming my front leg with kicks. Definitely were not full power but he was putting a good amount of power behind them and I did not know how to defend them. After about the 4th good one I dropped for a second. Right when I got back up he kicked the same leg again making me drop. Got up again, same thing. He was not even trying to work other things once he started dropping me or give me a quick tip on how to defend. Just kept pounding away at the same spot.

Depends on the person, some like aggression, some like defense. I love being defensive, so I tend to use counters, slips, and feints. And as long as you dont walk into a punch, trying to create an angle, youre fine.
Personal experience, I used to just kind of pussy out and keep light sparring/tapping my opponent even if he was going hard at me. As a result I was often on the receiving end of a lot of bad hits. My coach just told me rise up to their level of aggression, and I did, and most of my partners took it well. They respect the jab, they back off, and it becomes an actually productive session.
Ya I hate them the most. The coach already said technical and they end up tryna kill u
then practice on your power, so when they become aggressive you overpower them BOOM, trust me, one good solid straight to the chin, or uppercut will tame them
Nikola Poiukov maybe I may improve thanks to them 😂
Or don’t try to overpower them and just fight smarter and faster speed and tactics triumph strength every time
true,idiots remain idiots and they are everywhere
Just train and make your technique more sharper and better, i may not overpower my sparring partner because in term of power he is way above me, but i can keep throwing punch even its not enough to knock him out, definitely enough to "wake" him up and he started to control his rythm
I personally find some hard sparring extremely valuable. Learning to stay calm and relaxed when your opponent is trying to take your head off, is something that most of us have to work at, especially when we're inexperienced. People have a tendency to tense up and becoming rigid or getting angry and forgetting all about technique. Of course, if 2 guys are levels apart, no one will be if it from it.
I need help to deal with this sparring partner of mine he is a good friend of mine but he is 15kg heavier than me we decided to spar body for 6 round 2min and at some point he started running at me and just throwing body hooks super hard none stop and i try fighting backwards but he is more like running towards me
@@owengames3630 Hi Owen. Are you able to see a pattern to his combinations? For example, when he throws a left hook to your right side does he usually follow with a right hook to your left side? If so, as soon as his left lands, throw your left before his next shot lands.
Yeah, I know, easier said than done, but it's all timing and takes a lot of practice. Don't look to win the round, but aim to to have slightly more success than previous sessions. Then build on it.
Don't throw your shots too wide and practice your game plan by shadow boxing when you can.
If you know all this already, sorry if I came across as patronising!
@@frankrandall8875 sound advise. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes!!!
Now these are the comments I want to see (Y)
Thank you, aggressive sparring partners are annoying as hell!
i like em, thats how you learn the most, just practice on counters and defense when theyre aggressive
NikeSoccerTennis I'm not sparring to get messed up... That's what the ring is for.
Daddypants11 yeah i know what you mean but sometimes you gotta deal with them one way or another and thats the best way for me, or overpower them, check out my sparring vids, the longer vid im sparring an aggressive, and the second short vid, im just helping someone out
Daddypants11 So you wait until you're in the ring, then get fucked up.
I just love fighting
Lol this is perfect, I'm about to spar with a tall russian kid, he dosnt understand what light sparring means so I guess it's pretty much gonna be a fight
Russians are reputaded to be good fighters, that's why I mentioned it
The times I've been able to spar w/Russian trained fighters, they usually don't go super hard. They prefer to log hours at medium intensity. Good advice in the vid
sounds like ur hoods and gyms got a lot of super tough retards walking around
sad thats the only possibility for you to train, id seriously consider another gym or martial art, just for health purposes
Tyrell Johnson in those kinda situations I usually put them to sleep 💤
Agressive sparring partners are how great counter fighters are created. They will not continue to be agressive after learning some lessons.
P. Nessa Okay master splinter
Devin Smith
Niggas wanna be a Raph but ain't no body wanna be a Leo.
Lmfao
Of course but sometimes you just want light or some usual sparring
very accurate, now that i think about it, its probably why i am a counter puncher
Coming from someone that's been knocked down by my own coach being aggressive, this is absolutely true. People get so emotional and proud when they out on gloves in the ring. Sometimes you gotta hurt somebody just to gain some respect to calm people down.
Have this crap at the moment. Everybody I spar with I can handle... apart from our coach who has injured me more than anybody else. Last time out I tagged him with a jab to the nose, real light.. he got annoyed and nailed me with a side kick.. heel to the ribs hard enough to leave me in serious pain for over a week. He also throws shit like round kicks with the ball of the foot to the face in 'light' sparring and has nearly broken my nose before. Bit fucking sick of it but training options are painfully limited where I live.
@@notmyname3681 you seriously need to find another gym. Or tell him the definition of sparring. You could seriously get hurt.
@@mrpringle9479 Moot point right now since we are not allowed to do group training, let alone spar... which really sucks. But yes.. I have had several conversations about it with him. It's not malice, he's a great guy.. but he was 'brought up' a certian way with his training and old habits die hard.
@@notmyname3681 then you should quit even faster.
@@notmyname3681 I know your feel bro! I live in a small town/area and no martial arts gym anywhere, but please if you're still in that gym go away and don't go back to that gym. Your TRAINER beating the shit out of you IT'S NOT A TRAINER and i've experienced that for YEARS, just for your same reason. Not having a good gym around for a proper learning. So please if you still in that gym go away and don't go back to that place. It's a fucking free service for killing your brain cells.
You supposed to learn how to deal with agressive sparring partners because it's a very good thing to learn and actually very helpful in your real fights. But not from your "trainer".
PS: I've experienced too talking with my trainer and he saying "Yeah but this is how we learned", this dude is a great guy too but all is he doing is exchanging REAL brute experiencie and real technic, for figthing, for just power shots and hitting strong.
There was low resources of learning in the past so it's understandable but that's not how you spar these days. You gotta ask yourself how figthers right now are able to fight to even 45-50 years old. Not by beating theirselves out while training that's for sure.
Circling away and not getting trapped in the corner combined with body punches are my go-to in sparring. Seeing my partner slow down and toning down the aggressiveness after a few clean punches to the gut boosts my confidence a lot.
I remember when I used to do hard sparring, due to the fact when i started sparring they went hard on me so i carried the bad habit with me. But now i work on specific things in sparring and go accordingly to how opponent goes, so no more trying to beat up the sparring partner but rather focusing on improving your abilities.
I once sparred this streat guy who was going super hard, i told him to go light and his response was, this is my light. I easily stopped him with the freight train to a brick wall technique by jabbing him in the solarplexes everytime he jabbed at me, he was very predictable
Before the spar begins i always go to my partner and say "Look, im gonna hit you as hard as you hit me so keep that in mind" i've never had any trouble with anyone and the only people i've sparred a little harder with were some pro guys.
Respect
That method only works IF you are the better fighter.
@@samblack5313 😂😂😂😂
@@NoOneAM2
Whenever anyone has said that to me, I took it as a warning, because while I’m a big dude, they were a better fighter and would piece me up for it.
Basically.. “yes, I know you can hit hard.. but you probably shouldn’t”
It doesn’t have the same impact when they can just respond “you can try”.. all you did was ignite their ego 😂
An agressive opponent is a great way to work your counter skills. An over hand elbow, front snap kicks, sidekicks that hyper extend the knee, and flying knees are your friends. Plus it's there fault for coming in agressive and getting caught.
Yazan Arafat
Yeah?
Yazan Arafat
Not really. In sparring you should see it coming, unless, you were being reckless. Even more dangerous if you miss them.
P. Nessa "i feel like spark him out but i aint about that life" lets beat their agressiveness but not get carried away
peter powell
Really? How do you practice them then? Thai schools do it. Hell they even knee you in the face when you're down in Thailand. It's allowed but frowned upon in my school (Renzo's).
It's only dangerous if you have the skills to set them up and hide them.
That being said you're allowed to retaliate if someone is being a dick for sparring. Throwing one without someone trying to take your head off will get you banned.
peter powell
I guess it's preference. I say it's impossible to learn counter with an elbow without sparring. You'd have to do it live to understand it. Especially a intercepting lead left elbow or overhand elbow. Kneeing should not be allowed I agree with that.
My school allows it. But no one really tries it. Sure way to get tossed or put in a arm triangle.
First kickboxing sparring session I've ever had, my sparring partner who was 20 kgs heavier than me kicked me in the head at full blast. Gave me a black eye and a splitting headache. I thank the man every day for teaching me that combat sports are dangerous. Fast forward to today, I never got lazy with my defence ever again! You'd never catch me with my hands down and my ducking/weaving/countering had become second nature all for the sake of never getting hit that hard again. That guy made me a better fighter!
If they come in aggressive, I tell my dad. Plain and simple. My dad calls their parents and everyone learns a valuable lesson.
lol
Your defenently the kid that reminds the teacher to give homework
I have to admit, your strategies are better than mine... When my partner goes to hard, i try to make him feel like "he has the fight" (usually those who go to hard in sparing think its a fight) and then, when they start throwing wide open because they think im out, i hit them as hard as i can right in the chin... Usually, they dont go as hard the next time... But its an eye for an eye... Wich is never a good option...
That long knee in conjunction with teap kicks won me my first muay thai fight. The guy was aggressive as all hell, and kept rushing me like a bull. This stuff works guys
Great video! The tip 2 was my favorite, I've had a few accidental collisions with sparring partners with a jab and they were moving in quicker than I expected. It was a lesson that taught me that an opponents forward momentum can be used as a tool against them if they aren't careful.
Coach PJ looks so natural in front of the camera. He's a great asset to the show.
I’ve always been reluctant about sparring. Being a complete novice, I was one of the gym I was going to which I was told had a reputation for allowing guys like me to think I was getting in a sparring experience but in actuality I was an experienced fighter’s punching bag for the day.
Did you leave that place and go somewhere that actually teaches instead of "aight we're just gonna spar today?" They're like McDojos lol
This is my summary:
When you have an aggressive sparring partner dknt move back in a straight line kove to the sides and dont let them get you in a corner keep feintjng and finding angles
The train against the brick wall when they are foming at you use their momentum to hit them with a straight punch down the middle or a knee to the solar plexus jn muah thai or a straight elbow to the head in a fight or with a sifekick to the stomach if they are moving straight towards tou
What are you talking about
I ducking love coach PJ! Just had a good laugh when he went full on, I wasn't expecting that!
Ricardo Augusto my man pots and pans! Love you too brother 💯
Ricardo Augusto *"DUCK".*
Nothing wrong with having an aggressive sparring partner. Just get better than them. Take over the fight to teach them the weaknesses on their style of fighting. Simple as that. If an "aggressive" sparring partner is too much for you, then fighting sports aren't for you. Learning to fight different kinds of fighters will make you a better fighter. Dont give up just because they overwhelm you! You got this 👍
Aggressive as in full power as if it were a life or death fight. Not the style its self.
@ImprovingDaily0 aggression could mean just eager and spamming punches and kicks instead of being patient and thinking with each move. If they are trying to kill you on the other hand thats a different story. Someone too busy spamming increases more opportunities for a counter. Which is why I think its an opportunity to adapt.

David you dont have the choice sometimes your trainer tells us to find another partner but you end up stuck with him
This is quite true and unfortunate. However, as long as you communicate with your sparring partner and take it slow it should be fine. At least in the gym I attend, we keep it cool and under control.
Hamza Nawid If your trainer forces you to spar with the guys who don't know how to spar-find a new trainer
David dude it is a though situation it is not the trainers fault im a 125 pounder and there is one guy who is like 170 pounds and he goes al out on me like it is a match and not a spar the trainer tells him to not go hard but he just keeps doing it
Hamza Nawid bro your fuckin tiny ha I weigh 230 I’m almost 100 pounds heavier
I love this guys. Specially the first bit. a lot of guys are too scared to tell their partner to calm down or speak to the coach.
I guess I need to quit my current gym. The trainers are encouraging people to go hard so they'd feel pain and be more vigilant with their defense.
How's a beginner supposed to learn to slip punches when the opponent's tryna knock u out?
That is very very terrible. Find another gym. Anywhere you go, only amateurs preach that kind of "go hard, it's real" culture. Unless you're in a fight camp, going more than 50% is not necessary. There are lots of pro fighters who don't go all out in sparring.
marq Ok I don’t get it isn’t going hard the whole point of sparring What’s the point of learning to slip punches if a niggas throwing them at half the speed it’s actually gonna come in a match. Just use pads or a cobra bag if you wanna slip
@@charles8769 you can still go pretty fast, mabye not 100% but it doesnt have to be slow. However they should go light. Just because you spar with some speed doesn't mean you need to spar hard. And besides, learning takes time, starting slow and sparring faster later on is a better way to train
change to a different one - you’re not safe - if you hurt someone severely on purpose in my class you would be kicked out
So, have you changed to another gym?
I would add front kick to the train vs brick wall list.
Very helpful video for new fighters.
I really love that expression. "Drag them into deeper waters." Lol, brutal.
I am thankful for hard sparring. It prepares you for a rough fight. It makes you better at defense, staying calm under pressure, etc. My very first spar was a seasoned puncher trying to knock me out. I went three rounds bloody bruised and tired. This taught me what I was getting myself into. I never get beat up like this again, because that butt whooping made me hungrier. I am thankful for those rough fighters. If you are angry at them, then you have three choices...
dont spar them, get better at defense, or just give up fighting altogether because it's not for you.
Lance Criminal me too one one of my first sparring sessions my last spar was against a really strong dude and I was tired could barely keep my arms up but this guy threw some hard heavy punches and in one of those he demolished my solar plexus with a perfectly timed straight. That thought me to never give up on defense. But there was also another dude that was extremely aggressive and loved to aim at the head, headshots piss me the fuck off so once that guy got tired I pummeled him into oblivion until he gave up. Hard sparring is good if done in moderation. Cheers
Say that when you come down with CTE
Not as thankful as your brain surgeon gonna be for the paycheck!
Graham Mutter like I said. It made me hungrier and I got way better at defending and overall fighting because of the hard punches. Now it's very difficult for me to get hit with a flush shot. I obviously don't spar 100% all the time. If you're worried about CTE then get better at not getting punched, or just don't bother taking it seriously. If you're doing this as a hobby and recreational and fitness, then I understand what you're saying is true. But serious, want to be champions should be willing to take that risk.
there's a time and place for hard sparring. it doesn't have to be every session
I had my first spar yesterday and lemme tell you it's way different from when your hitting the bag
My style is agressive infighting, and this really explains how my sensei countered me all the time with his front kick and side kick, but I learnt feints and I can step to the side whenever I want now to do body shots, great video.
When I go to the gym I don't feel like I've had a full sparring session unless I come home with dementia
That's the ideal state. Once you get really experienced with this training method you can spar hard every session, and come home or wherever you may be and know that you've never done hard sparring. What am I typing who are these people in my house? What's a phone?
I spar so long until i forget what im doing
Should really pay off as you come into your 40’s.
It's all about gaining respect inside the sparring. Agressive sparring partners have an "over-confidence" problem very often. (Just as Bullys, they often don't recognize they are being idiots) Being external interests (like looking good/strong, maybe for external validation) or just personal interests that just differs from yours, the reason of going hard that your partner has; You gotta let him know that you are all about gaining experiencie and being technical but show him power if he is too agressive. After that they will have respect to you. Avoid being agressive just like him. Just give them a nice straight right hand cross to the stomach or face. It's all about gaining your respect and stop them in the right moment. They will walk back and fear your right hand. I've experienced that.
I love your vids!! They're so detailed and easy to learn. Really helps when i can't be in training physically. Keep doing what you're doing!
I haven’t watched the vid yet but in case you don’t explain this, the peekaboo strategy is probably the best for aggressive people, it’s like your playing defensive but as soon as you see an opening hit it with full force
Sparring is not about winning, it's about learning
True, but not everyone thinks that way
Aggressive sparring partners are good for fight camps but terrible for working rounds. Great tips!

Thank you Shane and coach pj
-Love from India
I've been boxing for about 5 years and it's funny that this video pops up in my recommended because I'm going through this in my first month at a muay thai gym. Everyone is nice and constructive to me learning something new except for one guy that's been doing this a lot longer than me. The 1st and 2nd time we sparred, he pieced me up with some solid combos I've never seen first hand before with some real pop behind his shots. Long story short, I just used a simple double jab, overhand right that landed pretty crisp and he seemed to have slowed down a bit for now. I'll have to tell him to tone it down if it happens again. Thanks for the vid Shane
Make more vids with him😂 i Found his acting hilarious
Thanks for another great video guys! Really taking the fear out of my first spar coming up in a week✊🏻

@@dontcrysidney8924 read his firsr comment
throwing a right with your head moving out the center line against a rushing works so good.
The worst people are the ones with years of experince and still goes batshit crazy on the beginners.
Oh, this brings back memories. And number two is absolutely right. I got ROCKED by one of the black belts when I went aggressive. The heel kick to the chin really puts that misbehavior right into perspective, and right then and there, too.
What a coincidence this is! Today during training the trainer said we were going to light spar, so I was like “cool” so after one round we had to switch partners I decided to go against this guy. I knew he tended to be more on the aggressive side as I had sparred him before but I assumed he would take the trainers word to heart. So first punch he threw was a hard straight right to my face (we were supposed to do only body sparring) I managed to block it and signaled with my hands he should calm down. He then threw a leg kick and I decided not to check it just to see if he actually calmed down. He didn’t, so when he attacked again I hit him with a straight to the body and a follow up left hook to the body, I then tied him up in a full Thai clinch and kneed him in the plexus, which accidentally dropped him. Great video as always Shane in the year that I’ve been doing kickboxing I really feel like your videos have given me an edge. To anyone new to this channel listen to this man! He really is an amazing coach. Great video as always Shane I appreciate everything you do!
Which belt are u in kickboxing?
Although aggressive sparring partners are annoying it’s better to know how to deal with them in the ring.
If you’re an official fighter, you might end up fighting with someone aggressive someday.
If you’re just learning to defend yourself, should confront them too, most people without any fighting technique usually fight like this. If it’s just recreative boxing-Muay Thai or whatever then this video is very good.
Just keep going in and out, also focus more on speed than strength remember that at around 15 good jabs the opponent starts getting dizzy which leads to them getting slower that way you can make yourself a way to the win.
Also body shots are very good sometimes you can even punch their arms, believe me, it will make the aggressiveness go away.
Push kicks is my go to move to counter a aggressive fighter, and after inside leg kicks do the trick. should slow their momentum
At the stry if tour partner is bejng to aggressive let them know and ask them to take it down a nodge you dont want to many hits to the head you just want to learn and practice your defende and movement
And if they dont then tell the coach and let them know
Awesome gonna start implementing this, got my first fight January 11th!
Good luck!

That dude is 10/10 how he’s playing along!
When I started Kyokushin Karate way back in 1968 (I was 15, now 66), I asked my instructor how I can beat the other guy, especially since I was (and am) skinny. He said "be just a little bit faster and a little bit more powerful than your opponent." 4 black belts later as a pressure point fighter and 10 more years of kick boxing under world champion Benny the Jet Urquidez, as well as a 2 hour daily workout to this day, and I've become a skinny un-intimidating non threatening potential victim that hurts bad guys. Fast as lightning, tough as a box of rocks.

THANK YOU for this video (and the hurricane bag one too). I actually have the issue of being a large K1 Kickboxer and Muay Thai student, but I am really peaceful guy. I think it invites a lot of aggression from fighters. I've felt unloaded on and usually back off and talk or practise my defenses but the grapple or clinch you shown is actually the advice I was looking for. Just to protect myself until the aggression stops.
Sparring is for playing.
0:49 KSI BE LIKE
I think it's also good to point one example of what "not" to do, because I've seen this a lot: don't be that guy who says some version of "ease up or I'm gonna hurt you." For one thing, most people who say that are bluffing because they don't want to seem weak and all it does is create tension and the potential for the situation to escalate further. I've known many people who may go a little too hard in sparring but they are also fine with taking hard shots in return, so if you don't want to be doing that kind of hard sparring, then be honest with yourself and your training partners; set your ego aside and start by asking them to ease up in a respectful manner.
In sparring might seem shitty to have someone go too hard and aggressive but it's actually a good thing if you could handle it and if you force yourself to endure it. Getting used to hard and intense, aggressive sparring sessions prepare you for competition like nothing else could - not only for the physical aspect of it but also for the mental aspect. I used to hate those guys who go 90 % during sparring on a casual training day but after a couple of competitions I actually learned to appreciate those exact guys who didn't hold back cause through them I improved the most.
You also improved the brain damage ? Sparring is made to practice techique , endurance and conditioning for resistance . Keep that in mind .
@@albertalbert1112 I dont feel like I’m getting better with light sparring. Yep I go hard and I’m getting my ass kicked but I’m getting better and better
It really depends on the context of your partner. If you are a new guy fighting somebody on pro level and they go all out on you, you will never learn a thing because you’ll be getting hammered the entire time. However if you have at least minimal experience and your partner is about the same level of experience as you, aggressive sparring isn’t as big of a problem
I agree that is helps but I also think that hard sparring is something we should do only once in a while. Drills should be enough for you to prepare you for a hard sparring.
@@Tunebox29294 So you're fighting instead of sparring? Good luck down the road to you when you only have a few fights under your belt and CTE because you weren't smart enough to sharpen your skillset.

0:54 Shane 👌👌👌
I think a huge part for newbies too, is that standing your ground, at least briefly before angling out can be important against constant aggressors. If they charge you and you respond by moving back you're (generally) loosing power.maybe back up a little but then plant your legs heavy, move your head to dodge simultaneous sending a hard 2 down the middle to try to use his force against yours, then immediately angle out :) If anything this will hopefully get him to respect your space more at least, even if you don't land the punch.

Really glad you made the first two points... seem simple but shows respect and makes your team better. Great video guys! Awesome tekkers!
Tx guy's you the best
I think there is a disconnect here: I don't consider "aggressive" and "hard" to be synonymous. An "Aggressive" fighter is one who is constantly moving forward, and throwing a high volume of punches. In a "Hard" sparring session it is the case that the other fighter is simply throwing entirely too much power around.
I have sparred in several occasions where my opponent was very aggressive but also very controlled. Having said that...I DO have a fight coming up and I know that my opponent is highly aggressive so I will be absolutely sure to practice and use some of your strategies.
Also good on you for pointing out that some people just don't KNOW they are sparring too hard...more often than not that has been my experience as well...and when mentioned they've IMMEDIATELY apologized.
Hey Shane can you do a video on techniques you can use when it Southpaw vs Orthodox and Orthodox vs Southpaw etc
"Aggressive Sparring Partners"...... if you don't wanna box take pilates class..... getting an aggressive sparring partner is a blessing.
Wat happen if u go against a bigger size guy who dont rlly feel pain when u hit them
Samuel 24 go for the legs. Even if he can't feel pain, its no use if he can barely walk
Samuel 24 I'm usually the bigger dude but there is one in my gym who's bigger than me. What I do is go full guerrilla on him. Keep him at bay with jabs (or teeps) whenever he rushes in (the brick wall analogy Shane made in this video) and let him wear himself out. Once he tires, I play offense and start the hit-and-run stuff: jab n' hook to the body, jab-cross, throw the uppercut if I feel safe enough...keep on this one-two and back away a step or two.
Basically, you're letting him chase you around most of the time. It's not a highlight reel process but it works.
Samuel 24 Sparring is all about technique! But if your goal is to hurt him in a fight, then you can rely on your precision to hit at specific spots.
Be rocky
Samuel 24 Go for the liver
I saw this pop up on my feed literally the day after a spar with a new guy at the gym. He's a newer guy, been there about a week or so and comes in about 1-2 days a week. He was a very aggressive sparring partner. He outweighs me by about 50-70lbs. Throughout the spar he continuously rushed in and threw haymakers. After a minute or so I realized he was just going too hard and started firing back some bigger hits of my own, going for more body shots to try and gas him out and turn down the volume on his shots but unfortunately **take note** while doing this I almost broke my hand(on his face). When the buzzer rang for round two; he opted to dip out. So if you get someone like this, keep in mind it's not just the damage they can do to you.. but the damage you can do to yourself if you get caught up in the moment. Take care of those hands
NOTIFICATIONS BOIS WHERE YOU AT

Great team presentation. Good work guys. Thank you.

Just watch pacquiao marquez 3, train your timing and footwork and train corkscrew punches with counters and train it to hit his orbitals, nose and temple your goal is to make him convulse like a newborn baby by countering his force really hard with a corkscrew to his temple and punch through the target as well
@@MarkzBaui26 bro you’re telling him to strike a man full force in the temple? You do realize thats how you put a man in a coma or kill him, no? Yeah nobody likes an overly aggressive dick head but purposefully full forcing somebody in the temple aint it
@@aaz1010
He’s trying to do it to you, what’s the difference? I don’t think hurting people at training is smart, but I’ve never been upset to see the aggressive idiot unconscious.
@@samblack5313 overly aggressive idiots usually don’t target that specific of an area. And if they are 1. Dont spar with them or 2. Get them kicked out
These videos are great, so educational.
Everyone new goes hard... it sucks.
I told someone to go light with me in boxing and he almoat knocked me out and people started laughing, so I got angry and punched him out until the round ended. He got out the ring and started crying.
Gyro Xaver damn
And then everyone clapped?

Nah some were mad but if i tell you go light you should respect me enough to do it. I box because i know alil about how people treat people who aren't strong enough to defend themselves. I felt like he was tryna take something out on me so i had to let him know i wasn't going out like that.
wow such a believable story
Cool story, Hansel.
I was sparring the aggresive guy yesterday and we fought equally in the first round i stayed jabbing in the 2nd and 3rd an caught him with a check left hook that made him drop the fourth round i got a little too confident and got caught with a combo glad i kept my hands up learned allot from you bro!
The way to deal with them is to STOP BEING A COWARD!👍🏾
I am branded as an "aggressive" spar partner am watching this
Why talk to the manager.
Spar with someone else.

Samal Sachin if a partner isn’t being safe with you, then he won’t be safe with anyone else.
My teacher offered a 2 step rule:
1) Politely ask them to dial back
2) If '1' doesnt work, hurt them moderately, but very distinctly and ask "do you want to train, or do you want to fight?"
Of course, if the person picks the latter option, you need to be prepared to follow through.
How to deal with an aggressive sparring partner? You just beat his ass.... eventually in boxing it gets to a point where mostly everyone is aggressive, they all come hard and throw punches you have to use ur skills to deal with them
Keep working hard in your GYM and you will be able to deal with them lately.
Is Solar plexus your favorite term?
Grumpy ol' Asian it just feels right to say my guy
Once I had this type of partner in sparring. This guy was bigger than me(bigger weight, I'm actually higher than him) he was about 265 pounds when I weighted about 165 pounds. His hits were really hard(he almost knocked me out with his right hook).I slowed him down by good right uppercut(roll under his right hook and throw right uppercut). In my opinion it's good too spar against someone like this once in a while, because it's the best way to learn how to counter.
Great video as always, keep up the good work Shane!
