    I use reverse breathing in order to absorb body shots. I also have never been dropped or stopped by one. Reverse breathing has some similarities to how someone braces their core in olympic lifting. You belly breathe but instead of letting your stomach expand you draw the navel in to the spine to resist the outward force of the breath. So your back and all sides expand a bit instead and it creates a great deal of pressure like a car tire filled with air. Your body becomes like that. Olympic lifting is similar but not the same, there are some significant differences. I just ignore shots to the body, but still can deep breathe. I also use a heavy medicine ball to condition my stomach with techniques I learned from boxing.

    I have no idea if this is worthy of consideration, but anyone who plays a woodwind instrument might want to consider how they are holding their core as this could be a simple "cross training" opportunity. I know, at least for me, playing harmonica that I have to keep my core engaged all of the time while still breathing in and out to maintain support of the instrument.

    Super crunches are best done against the wall. Side bends on the "horse" and side planks are crucial to being better able to take hook punches, shins and knees to the obliques. People almost always sell-short their side-abs and it costs them in a fight.

    Thanks for the advice Gabriel! I’d like to share a low complexity kettlebell exercise that fits right into this, and it’s a double kettlebell racked march in place. That’s a mouthful, what it means is holding a pair of kettlebells at your chest, in the rack position, and then picking your feet up like you’re marching, and do it for time. This is a great upper body conditioning exercise that anyone can do, and especially fighters will benefit for the very reasons you explain in this video. You have to tighten up your core and keep breathing behind that shield when you do a rack hold, and for fighters who also work in the clinch, it will strengthen the back extensors as well making it harder to break their posture while at the same time keeping those abs tight to defend against knees to the body. This exercise is scalable since you can use different weights and go for different lengths of time. You can blend it with shadow boxing or your bagwork, just set a timer and do intermittent sets. It would behoove you to learn the kettlebell clean, so you can safely rack the weights and put them down, and the clean is a great exercise on its own, but you can hike them up whichever way possible too. Try it out and please leave a comment if you do!

    • @DaroZuo

      Isn't it good to also hold just one and do some reps for each side? Assymetric loading is a big challenge for the core.

    • @Chiburi
      @Chiburi 27 дней назад

      @@DaroZuo You can do static holds, marching in place and loaded carries with just one bell, for sure, but the exercise I described is more fitting. It puts you somewhat in a guard position and two bells means higher intensity which is often missing in bodyweight training and martial arts. You would need a lot heavier bell to reach the same intensity as racking two, and it would take more time out of your workout.

    when you get hit with a ball of the foot kick. and it's to your kidney or floating ribs, no amount of training is enough to keep you from being badly hurt. One of the reasons I dont care for top of the foot as a striking surface is it's just too big to get enough penetration to do real damage. Especially with shoes on, the ball of the foot is a deadly device.

    Being 250 and doing 100 situps in 1 sitting (do 10 situps then rest 10 seconds, then do 10 situps then rest 10 seconds, and repeat until you get to 100 situps)
    Just with this 100 situps most people cannot punch through my stomach muscles. I've even hurt some peoples wrists by footwork scooting into the punch 5 inches and sorta making their wrist bend. If you are real good you can also turn your stomach slightly to make the fist land uneven so the shove hurts even more.

    • @dirtpoorchris

      I think because im so heavy and still do situps this causes like 5 inches of muscle where my diaphram is. I can crunch my top abs and make them stick out further than my ribs.

    To throw an effective body shot, you’re not hitting the abs. You’re actually hitting the rib cage where there’s not much muscle connected to this bone you gonna hit the bone precisely and you wanna hook inside where it damages the liver that’s an effective body shot. I see people and boxing they do this uppercut type of body shot, which is like a hook and uppercut combined. You don’t wanna do that, you want to sink into the ribs as you’re the ribs outside the other end of his body punching through his body that’s a rib shot shot. No one can take no matter how hard you train.

      Maybe you've never been around someone looking for your liver, kidneys, bladder or solar plexus. If there's anyone who's conditioned these parts of their body modern science would like to do extensive tests. A pro will shock these without any indication of being about to do so.

    Mike Tyson style body weight training or Bruce lee style is great for the abs.
    Those dudes were built like athletes blessed by the hand of the maker.
    Emulate them takes talent, but 99% of it is hard work.
