      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.

      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.

    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.

      @@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!

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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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

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.

    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.

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.

    @lordduck1040 6 лет назад +18

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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

      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.

      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

    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!
