Guy is a Tekken character
Yes which is cool
Straight up looks like lee.
I know I’m a year late but idc
And really cute
@ASAP.69 That's because it is Tekken 7 OST
@@suli542 first comment in 2021 haha
Adam you're right; spend 10 minutes watching Grant and he teaches me more about flexibility than hours of research. Thank you to you both, look forward to more.
Yeah he's an excellent teacher, he's got a lot of great stuff in the pipeline too :-D
Hey Jack, thanks for this :) would you mind shooting me an email at: grantstevens2911@hotmail.com and just introduce yourself so I know who you are.
I'd love to ask you a couple questions about your comment to help me produce better content for people :) thanks
You should do a video on reaction time, memory, attention span, focus, concentration, speed reading and reflexes.
Kali training is all that. Weapon based style don't accept the wrong move, you are dead. So no mistake.
2 years later he did!
That’s all in the mind and meditation that’s why you see all the top dudes use visualization and meditation and law of attraction and finding rhythm through visualization and being calm with your breath as well as adding rhythm to it so it spreads to the body more efficiently
ADHD for the win
Arrowhead
Idk about this man but the Bioneer does. Check out his Flash video.
Grant's got some crazy speed!
He can get a kick inside your guard and you don't even see it coming!
It's fine as long my genitals are intact lol, Congrats on reaching dad status :)
The Bioneer he’s like an anime character
Grant: shounen anime protag.
Adam: Just another guy in "baki the grappler"
I get goosebumps just looking at this guy..
I commented on another video that I'm not a martial artist but these videos I use just to become a higher-functioning human being.The discipline it takes to pull this stuff off is incredible. Grant and Adam... props to both these guys✌🏾💪🏿.
A really knowledgeable guy I really respect that
He definitely knows his stuff! Just the tip of the iceberg :-)
Damn, you have changed so much in 3 years, unbelievable
amazing stuff, Welcome Grant!
Chukwuka Orefo thank you
Awesome, that's the flexibility section of my workout sorted
Founds some great knowledgeable people recently. talking with a truly educated sense about them and no BS, with great hart. Yourself, the Bioneer and Master Yan Xin... Feeing honoured and lucky. Hard, so so hard to find real...
I like to start with active neck movements. My over-forty neck impinges the rest of my body in surprising ways.Thank you for this content, great advice. I look forward to incorporating your warmup into my workouts.
Can't believe this is the same Bioneer we have today XD
Watching those moves is so inspiring, I haven't expected that a man can move so fast.
Awesome video, keep up the good work.
thank you brother
I appreciate the Tekken music I really do
Helll yeah
Literally the video I’ve been waiting for thanks
When I see the clips of you training your speed surprises me every time it’s like rock lee from naruto.
Your very intelligent, your concepts are right up my alley, thanks
This music has eradicated my equilibrium
Heavens to Betsy!!! Thank you so much for the Van Dame clip!
Haha I loved that clip!
You’re the man Sensei. Great Video as always.
Dude your level of flexibility and movement fluidity is superb. Your videos have been a great help for me. Greetings and love from the Philippines. 🇵🇭👍
Stright to the point..love it. 🔥
You are doing a great job brother. Your vids are really helpful. Keep up the good work❤️
by the way i forgot to ask about your gym trousers: where can i get them, please?
i do need them. i coundn't find a proper one for my training.
thanks in advanced
and thanks for your contribution to Bioneer.
Beautiful piece of information
Love it, can't wait to get loose and kick my workouts arse.
EDIT: Welcome Grant first video, and already fitting in nicely, I look forward to more from you.
Codemeleon thanks for the welcome
Awesome video! What kind of martial art do you practice Grant?
Gerardo Soto I started with tkd and have done all sorts from kickboxing to JKD and Kali but haven’t trained style specific for many years
monkgrant you should do BJJ or wrestling to get a grappling base to compliment your striking nicely
Yeah man! I have a little BJJ and wrestling experience but it's certainly not my strong point. Gonna be working on that more soon
Great vid welcome Grant. Also what style do you train in
These videos are awesome! Such great talent.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Excellent video!
Can you do a video teaching us your footwork/fight stance? That would be awesome!
I could be wrong but it looks like it's heavily influenced by Taekwondo.
Fantastic information, thank you
I’m pretty sure good flexibility make you stronger at every sports
Which muscles should you adress if you want to achieve more spins in a spinning kick?
Chris Galanis yo dude. Core, specifically obliques as well as hip flexors 👌🏼🤛🏼
Grant! Finally some depth of knowledge into human mechanics and "smarts" for Martial Art training ----> so lacking and so necessary to avoid injury and to build a true Martial Artists body, which you embody in every sense!
Thank you for the great detail and valuable information you shared for us all. So glad I discovered you, and all thanks to the Bioneer! Subbing to your channel also!
=D
Ana D thank you very much. Content coming there soon
Hey Ana, would you mind shooting me an email at: grantstevens2911@hotmail.com. Would love to ask you a few questions regarding your comment thanks :)
Good info. And yes everyone, as many of you have commented, Tekken games are awesome.
Welcome to the channel Grant. I really enjoyed the video and learned a couple of new things that I will now incorporate into my training, thanks! I also do dynamic before a workout and static after because this seems to be the best for me. However, I also used to do static before and after and I never had any injuries or problems. The reason why I switched to current practice is because I enjoy dynamic movement and I like to get that extra inch quicker. I think it really depends on the individual, as far as what is best - as there are no definitive proof, one way over the other. I agree that your body will tell you when you are going too far. This could be a problem for those doing dynamic stretches if they really swing hard without gradually progressing into the stretch. In this way, it could be just as dangerous as pushing too far on a static stretch. Still, if one uses common sense (which is never common), he or she could effectively do both in moderation. Again, I do the same practice as you because I've spent years "listening" to what my body tells me and it likes dynamic first, then static after. Thank you for a great video. If I must RESPECTFULLY part with one constructive criticism; the music seemed just a little louder than your voice, so you may want to revisit that. Have a great evening and training session!
TheDamianvain17 agreed man. Each person is going to be slightly different. Loved your comment about common sense not being common as well. So true 🔥
how many years have you been training for?
In the 80s/90s, it was standard for school PE to practice static stretching as part of the warm-up before exercises.
Could doing yoga be a substitute for static stretching?
Nice video! Lots of useful informations thanks!
Very helpful thanks!
Thanks for the video glhf
trying to get a bit more fit and flexible because I'm gonna start training muay thai or bjj and this seems like a great starting point
Grant, Thank you so much! This is going to help.👍
That is some great info! Thank you!
Great video. Thanks. And awesomw D&B track. Cant remember the title, but its a sick tune
Hello friend,
You are unbelievable cool!👍🏼
The music in your video is a little too loud. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks! Keep doing your good work and God do the rest...🙏🏼👍🏼
Great content, but the music in relation to the voice is too loud. Loud music is good, but not if it makes it difficult to listen to the voice.
Grant, please do a video on jump rope routines and tricks
Love when the Tekken drops in!
the background music is Tekken 7 OST ~ Jungle Outpost - Round 1
Haha just got done with my nightly stretching. Good timing!
Really cool! Welcome, Grant.
My body would love to be able to do this😀
Regarding static stretching before a workout, last year I had a Shotokan instructor who claimed it was terrible and no one should ever do this. At that point I had been doing static stretching before a workout for about 14 years with no ill effect. I spoke with a Tae Kwon Do instructor about it and she said that there is no consensus within the scientific community about this. She recently earned her doctorate in kinesiology, so I trust she is well informed on the matter.
To weigh in on this, you are right there's a lot of studies with some contradictory findings peppered in. But I believe the consensus is now leaning in the direction of it potentially increasing injury risk. If I recall, this is less likely for those that have always used that method. Ultimately though, for those starting out: seeing as there's no benefit to static stretching first, and their *might be* a risk, makes sense to move it to the end. Fascial release is another option that has isn't correlated with increased injury. Thanks for sharing your take :-)
Kinesiology is alternative medicine. Therefore is pseudoscientific bullshit
The person I was referring to is a university professor. At universities, they lump all the physical education & sports related classes into kinesiology. It's not just medicine, pseudo-scientific or otherwise. I wasn't aware that sports medicine and physical therapy were considered pseudo-scientific.
Look at it this way, if you had to get in a fight on the street or something, would you say wait I gotta stretch first?
Warm up - static stretch - neglect to keep warming up between sets - do resistance exercise - strain a muscle.
Headline: STATIC STRETCHING FIRST IS DANGEROUS.
Whole internet: circlejerk.
Any tips for healing a rotulian tendinitis?
Oh man this is SO METAL!!!
Froto has become a Badass in the undying lands.
Joking aside awesome video man.
Really helpful. Thanks :)
This was great 👊👊
awesome vids bro
Hope this helps W kicking in my taekwondo
Very good 👍👍
I really want to want to learn martial arts.... Thats my wish and one of my goals....
But I am terribly suffering from back pain from gym...
Been 3 years in pain, tried lot of exercises but that didn't worked....
Any suggestions Grant???
Before I go for surgery... ☹️
I'd be very careful before committing to surgery dude. I've read about many cases where not only did the surgery fail help... But actually reduced the persons mobility. Have you seen specialists about this? Don't trust a general practitioner to tell you what's going on. Do your research before man.
With regards to martial arts you could start with something light like Tai Chi or Yoga and progress from there and work up
monkgrant
Regarding back pain....
Sometimes it feel better and sometime worst....
Let's see, i m trying some thoracic mobility exercises...
May be it works...
In December I am going for a specialist rheumatologist for my check up...
Let's see what he tells....
How would you tighten/activate your core?
Great video👍
Great video lol the juggernaut part was hilarious XD I gotta admit i don't always stretch after a session ^__^; gotta change that
Hey, what's the name of the background music? Just tell me all of them
Nice skills with the legs 👍
JUST WHAT I NEEDED DAMN..
especially with my crap flexibility
Don’t be down on yourself brother 👌🏼
monkgrant Thanks man I just wanted to be a better martial artist and an athlete in general since i can kick high but its not like flexbility its me pulling my weight down the other way to perform a hook kick when i should be able to just kick high and flexible but with power
Try to stay positive dude, it will serve you much better to think of yourself that way even if you seem like you're lying to yourself. Trust me!!
With regards to the kicking flexibility, practise the things that I outlined in this video but also be really careful to ensure how your foot is positioned on the ground when you kick. Very often people point to lack of flexibility because they're struggling to kick well, but in my experience their kicking technique is off; specifically their standing foot isn't pivoted right which then drastically hinders the ability to open the hips correctly.
Good luck!
monkgrant Thanks for the support im glad that theres people out there that actually care btw I practise shaolin kung fu its effective but at the same time its not I was thinking of attempting wing chun (although theres not alot of kicking involved except the toe kick) I've tried BBJ i still do it as an effective means of grappling but I just want to futher develop my martial arts skills. I also do know that the style doesn't make a difference its about the individual.
I'll try to keep postive aswell thank you for your help.
I see Taekwondo skills, I subsribe!
Could you please make a video on how to strengthen your immune system.
What martial arts do you know?
2:14 beautiful kick 💥
Sharp!
Who is the guy doing bag work and shadow boxing I keep seeing in your videos?
What is Paul Mccartney doing talking about flexibility? Just kidding thanks for the amazing knowledge packed in 10 minutes
Oh well, Grant is stuck out from a comics. Really it freaks me out!
He could be part of manga!
Congrats Grant: you mean what you do with your glance and your face.
They're just regular sweat pants, tucked into Adidas football/soccer socks
Thanks a lot.
i cant do more then half of that :D But....great video :) good job
Is this the same guy I always watch!
Why does he always look like he just woke up from a nap
Great video!! ;D
I thought he was decent while carrying all that mass these recent years, bioneer was a beast in technique and speed in his boy band era
Nvm its a different guy
U know that this guy is a different guy right?
Nice👍
hell yeah!
broo thanks for thiisss
If you close your eyes, Harry Potter is teaching you about flexability.
Did you learn martial arts from someone or did you teach yourself?
Yeah man, I trained in numerous styles but the instructors weren't really the best. I tell you that though to show that you can develop your skills really highly if you want it enough. TKD was one of my main ones but I wanted to get much better with my hands so then I got into boxing and recently I've been focusing on JKD concepts.
Good video. Music was a tad loud and intense though.
Can you post a video on you shadowboxing
Will do thanks man.
In the meantime follow my instagram @grantstevensma there's loads of clips there
Feeling the dnb
9:13 dude turns into a seal
lmao so random
😂👏 Goodmorning
Anyone know what shoes he uses?
As a practitioner I really wanted to learn as much as possible. The music over shadows his voice.
Sorry man, I realised this as well that I need to speak louder. I'm new to the whole RUclips and presenting thing, so I'm still learning. Next video will be better.
monkgrant I appreciate it bro!
It worked fine with headphones :)
Simplicitas I had headphones too. I like the video but there was so much good information that it gets lost in the music. Just turn it down by -5 decimals or around that range. Turn up the music when there is no information narrated.
Your speech isn't too bad (could be better). Its the volume mixing.
What movie is that??
Yeah boi finally I will be able to control my tornado kick
I’ve done taekwondo at young age a left 3 years ago, I’ve lost my flexibility and I wanna start again. So are there any tips? Should I even go back?
