I seen alot of martial art and also train in different styles 52 blocks looks as effective as anything I've ever seen without alot of fancy exaggeration in its movements would LOVE TO TRAIN IN THIS SYSTEM
In the prison back in the 60's and 70's we called it Gladiator style. And each prison had its Gladiator schools. You survive one of the gladiator schools and you were recognized as a total badass. In the prison cell it was 5 by 8. So tiny that you could extend your arms and touch both walls. This was a 2 man cell. So you develop this punching and blocking style. For tight quarters. Knife duels were also popular. So you used a lot of these style defenses. I survived nearly a dozen knife duels in my 13 years behind bars. So you learn to move firmly using shuffles and pivots because you have to be aware of all the other people who might intervene. 52 blocks is from a prison fighter somewhere in new york. But we all had our styles in different prisons.
Huge believer and practitioner of 52. It does work however it’s about using the fundamentals and then adding your own spin onto it. Best part is it can be paired up with any martial art if you practice more than one art form. #Longlive52Blocks #52
Whoa. This is really what I would call the streetfighting method. I have been in several REAL streetfights as a teen and I can tell this would not only work but it could save your life. in one of them, I got beat up by multiple attackers and I really wish I knew some of this. I have been following the 52 blocks for a few months and I can say that I'm impressed and grateful my son would be able to learn something like this in today's age.
I like this. This video is saying that the 52 is just as complex and effective as every other popular martial art and deserves the same respect and devotion.
Nabz yea! I knew some real og'z that was nice with their hands. They still nice even tho they are in their late 40's and early 50's. His style reminds me of them Brooklyn bumrushers! Those elbows and punches would be coming from all over the place. In Brooklyn that skull n crossbones was king!
@Freedom of Speech , Exactly Bro. When I was growing up in Brooklyn NYC, I learned '52 blocks' back when it was called Jail House Boxing ,, C-72 or Comstock boxing.
@@upabittoolate idk about that. I have a broken boxer fracture on my dominant hand and is still in good use however its not only my dominant hand because i train both orthodox and southpaw positions. I can still hit very hard with my hands (if my hands are hitting correctly and accurately)
@@joshuamedrano2712 I'm talking about a street fight for life and death. You're talking about boxing which is a sport. Those are 2, completely different contexts. Sit this 1 out, scooter.
Agreed. It's putting people to sleep in the cage too lol. In the world of 52 blocks / jailhouse rock we call it the "dead arm." There was a dude I heard about known as "Dead arm" Ro. This was his primary fight ender. Very effective indeed.
It's very effective. Years ago I was doing backyard boxing with some friends of mine and some other guys who lived in our house. And I landed an overhand right to the guys forehead and he went straight down. He didn't want to fight anymore after that.
@@evanking0588 don't waste your energy on that peckerwood bro. His white supremacist ass had nothing else better to do that evening then to lower what personal standard he was left with and troll on something he knows absolutely nothing about 😂😂😂
“Before 52 Blocks.... it was called Jailhousing! Very effective in close courter combat.... ( from Rikers Island NYC )👀🙏... IMPRESSIVE Mark....when is the movie coming out👍👍👍👍👍
I learned 52 Blocks in Rikers at a young age, it's the only way I know how to throw hands, you used it everyday in Rikers and you seen it used everyday in there,but this nigga right hea, this nigga got it on lock! I can guarantee you this nigga right here will most definitely have his way with you!
beautiful choreography demo. I find the style refreshing and realistically effective. I will be researching this style and I hope to see it showcased in mainstream action movies.
@@TheKillaMethod Larenz Tate is also a 52 student/practitioner & a friend of Ludacris. He got a chance to showcase the style itself as well as his personal skill level in the movie "Gun Hill".....we were suppose to get a sequel but it never really came around. Maureese Crump also did a great job showcasing this style against Tony Jaa in "The Protector 2"
It reminds me of Panantukan for the use of the elbows, headbutts and close quarter punches. And the continuous dance like footwork and arm movements remind me of Capoeira.
+Andres Valentin The leg sweep at 0:55 is definitely reminiscent of Capoeira. The flipping of his hands at 1:04 reminds me of Pencak Silat. As for the striking, definitely like suntukan, wished there was more dumog.
I grew up in a NYCHA project in the 70's. My friends would do time in Rikers Island, come home, and teach us young guys these techniques. They called it jailhouse Rock. Worked backed then, works now.....
This was cool! I just wish some of the shots had held longer and been less shakey so I could see some of the techniques bettter. I think it would be pretty dope to see 52 Blocks in a big action film.
Mr Frazier Teaches Ghetto Blocks thru TRS Threat Response Systems his Book is also very informative Revalations of a warrior he hails from chicago but lives in cali last i check his DVD is the complete 52 block system
This is super exciting to see if you know where this system originated from. It originates from knocking & kicking. The movements between is almost like a Ginga in Capoeira. This is probably really close to what the original Capoeira looked like. It was outlawed because it was so effective. Even female slaves were able to free themselves
@@latrelledawson4746 I'm surprised Detroit wasn't blessed with the science bruh ?! I'm from the Nati. Got introduced to the science back in the early 80s. Everybody from the hood who knew it called it Violation or Enforcer style. Katz who could show and tell was a force to be reackoned with back in the day. I'm in my 40s now. I think my generation is the last to do it. Gun fu has become the dominant fighting art of the streets in todays day and time...so ol skoolz like me have retired the hands...until they are needed lol of course lol. I'm no longer in Cincinnati but if I was I would pass what I know on to the new generation. This is culture and apart of black history that I would hate to see die. Stay up bruh. Salute
Thanks so much for posting this video! Whenever I see 52 blocks, it's usually shown in a sparring context or slowed down for techniques. Thanks for the choreographed demo! Please make more.
Very, very nice. Great camerawork and editing as well as choreography. Interesting how your interpretation of 52 has some similarities with Keysi, too.
I like to see a scene in So Central LA. For example, Avalon and Nickerson Gardens or Imperial Courts, Venice Beach, Skid Row, Crenshaw, Rampart, Whittier, The Jungle, 108th Main MC club or LA County Jail. Even a scene as a Bouncer.
Believe it or not the style is actually tailor made for the streets. I do agree that if the science is ever properly represented in the cage it will need to be tweeked to fit that enviorment. I don't want to put words in your mouth bro if MMA was not what you were referring to lol.

Same as Wing Chun, Wu Wei and Jeet Kun Do. Very good practical application. Nice work guys!

Indeed. It sure looks very effective to me. Lots of elbows and forearms rather than fists, which makes a lot of sense in a bare knuckle fight.
Yeah sure it does it won't work on me believe that
@@indyphillipconner6252 whether it will work or not is dependent upon the person and only the person not the art.
Aggred, check my channel out. Maybe you'll like my style as Diallo Frazier is my main favorite 52Fighters.

Probably the best demonstration of 52 blocks I've seen yet.

I like this. This video is saying that the 52 is just as complex and effective as every other popular martial art and deserves the same respect and devotion.
Fire! Now that's how 52 blocks suppose to look! This is how I remember it growing up in Brooklyn! .
insearchofgoodpussy for real? You seen people fight like that?

insearchofgoodpussy exactly .
Dope name
My son and I watched this over and over we gonna learn 52 together buying the dvds. This was amazing
When he is still stance moving after they are down I was cracking up.....I LOVE IT
It's a flow state thing. Also keeps you in motion fighting multiple guys. Plus it's badass AF.
check me out , 52Block is my main style
I demand a sequel lol. This was pretty good.
Start the petition I'll sign first
Africa American fighting style.. love it

@Freedom of Speech That's really cool. Who did you see practicing 52? Were you friends with any of them? Do you see it any more?
@Freedom of Speech , Exactly Bro. When I was growing up in Brooklyn NYC, I learned '52 blocks' back when it was called Jail House Boxing ,, C-72 or Comstock boxing.
@Legba daniels , 52 boxing styles came out of NYC
Studied pencak silat for 30 years. I see a lot of conceptual "borrows". Angles are very different though. Interesting.
I really like this style . Elbows , forearms, knees.. close quarters. In a Street fight most don’t stand a chance since most throw wide punches
Hell, most dont stand a chance because once their dominant hand gets broken from a bad punch, they're useless
Most dont realize thats the art of 8 limbs (Muay thai)
@@upabittoolate idk about that. I have a broken boxer fracture on my dominant hand and is still in good use however its not only my dominant hand because i train both orthodox and southpaw positions. I can still hit very hard with my hands (if my hands are hitting correctly and accurately)
@@upabittoolate because of my boxer fracture i use every other limb (hands, elbows, knees, legs, and feet)

It's funny that big looping overhand punch that people were debating on other 52 threads 10yrs ago has become more and more popular in MMA.

Wow, this was dope! I wish someone could hook up with Mr 52 and make a scene like this. So professional!
This dude is the truth
I never get tired of watching this video 1:08 is pure art and science
This is a very effective martial art that incorporates techniques from quite a few styles and tops it off with close quarters boxing.

Been a 52 practitioner for 20yrs from Now Cipher Love ALLAH, gotta say I’m now just seeing this.
Arguably the best application I've seen in some years. This guy added knees and take downs. Just awesome!

man, i want to learn about 52 blocks. But, i'm in indonesia , don't have much money to fly to america and learn about 52 blocks...
I wonder if this is where Keysi Fighting Method and Defence Lab got most of their moves from.
Those hit in real life only four max they be out cold this style is mean
