Hey Jeff I've got some of your course. I signed up for the footwork as well. You think you could put it on kajabi so I can have all of it in one place?
When I first sparred my Muay Thai Kru and his senior guys, I came from a modern trad arts background and my sidekick and hook kick demolished then. I’d love to be more subtle as I trained with them for 18+ years but that’s my experience
@@delanchan699 . Que te mejores
First time watching. I liked it, well done, detailed comprehensive description and educational. Keep up the good work. 👍
That wasn't sparring he was going hard lol good fight
About 50 years ago, Karatekas and Thai boxers used to fight each other all the time in Asia and it was basically 50-50. Many people seen to think that Karate doesn't work as a foundation in kickboxing, while Muay Thai works, because many karate schools have been watered down over the years and turned into businesses. But just take a look at guys like Wonderboy Thompson, Raymond Daniels or Michael Page. Real Karatekas are actual killers in kickboxing
Another good example for this is Conor mc Gregor. The Karate stance and Kicks he used in his prime worked very good for him.
Georges St. Pierre and Bas Rutten too!
they use karate, and yet their base is definitely not karate. it's a mix of karate and western boxing.
@@firedude339 exactly. Karate was never a good hand striking combat, on the otherhand muay thai does incorporate boxing pretty well.
@@alexramon9679 i mean, you guys do have a point. The thing is that classic Karate masters had a superior workout to most styles, this allowed them to hurt you with moves that would usually tickle (lol).
They also trained in weapons, used takedowns, and joint locks. Karate was decent, and i personally think that it can work in kickboxing if you are agresive enough (being pasive will result in you getting owned by the kickboxer/thai fighter)
Very unique opponent. Shorter, ultra flexible, and has the setups that shoot from an in and out path. I was surprised he was able to close the distance so well being the smaller fighter.
cheers!!
It's karate that why :)
Got to see Robbie compete a few years back. He always had exceptional explosiveness and ability to close the gap with kicks and his blitz.
@@capitalg785 Pretty amazing. He knows just how much to dash and lean in to get a punch off and has lots of tricks. I'm just discovering him now. Very unique fighter and lots to learn from him.
1000fights can turn you into a war machine homie, don’t judge just by the cover
The best part about both these pro athletes is to see the level of cardio they both have.
The amount of stamina needed to have a friendly sparring of this standard is unbelievable and only people who have done martial arts physically will understand!
thanks for watching!
Underrated comment ☝🏻
I got tired by just watching them two and that’s coming from a guy who does kickboxing and boxing lol I need to work on my stamina
No, only boxers / wrestlers will. Everyone else is a conditioning / strength joke.
i am a black belt Karate of 41 years old. In my best moment i sparr for two minutes and that's it :D
One thing I love about Jeff’s videos . Is the fact that he does absolutely ZERO peacocking or posturing. He’s always humble and shows footage that highlights BOTH fighters abilities and success . Jeff doesn’t make it a highlight reel of himself. As someone that has competed and trained themselves, when you enter a gym egos are left at the door. Anyone who steps on that Mat with you is your brother and teammate, you’re there to help each other achieve goals. Jeff is a great ambassador for the sport and the gym culture that IMO is the correct gym gym culture.
Thank you for your support brother !
100% agree. His narration is so subjective and instructional that, if he weren't using 'I' and 'he', you would think he is a total outside observer. Plus, the editing/highlighting is fantastic -shows exactly how and why moves succeed and why they fail. These guys have amazing control, btw!
And we have all won some and lost some, humility is important
I love how Jeff likes to have different martial arts, it lets people choose a little more. Also the commentary is very helpful!
thank you :)
@@MMAShredded Mr. Chan, this is such an enjoyable video. Maybe Capoeira next time?
Jeff is an excellent representative for the Martial Arts and MMA community. He’s a warrior, gentleman, student and teacher all wrapped up in one.
Muay Thai jeff
We used to do this every Friday way back in the day. Everyone loved it. Different styles from all over the city would show up, we'd spar, have sort of a pot luck for everyone, and just have fun. It was awesome. Everyone was respectful and you could tell who were the real deal because we'd be so eager to learn from one another. Best education in martial arts I've ever had
I love how he shows how effective a Side kick can be if used right. Amazing sparring session
cheers!
@sakuratwister870look like shotokan to me
Oh man I love side kicks!
This will be fun! 🍿🥋👏
A pleasure to see you here Jesse-Sensei! Osu! 🥋
:)
I wanna see these 2 titans sparring together. TY guys for so much
You're next Jesse, lol
@@solarjudgement4575 Sounds fun! 💪
My guy Robbie. Really a great guy. This is a true lesson on how ego less sparring looks like
he is awesome!!
Jadi Tention...good to see one legend watching another!!. Some people misunderstand this controlled sparring. Some great commentary
@@mickwaters7590 appreciate the kind words. I’m always trying to evolve.
This was an awesome sparring... Man this is the best sport in the world. Haven't enjoyed watching a sparring session like this one.
:) thanks
This is so good. The comunication, the humbleness, the technique, the etiquette. To great martial artists and an example of sportsmanship.
thank you!!
Great sparring session Jeff! Your foot sweeps (and sequences afterward) are really well done! I love to see it. Robbie's kicks are quite impressive. Thanks for sharing!
thank you!!!
This is gonna be exciting!
:)
@@MMAShredded you 2 need to collab
Man, that was just a joy to watch! Two guys at the top of their game, sparring with respect and having a good time. What more could you ask for?
thanks bro!
I really appreciate how you've detailed and marked different combos. It makes the whole thing really interesting.
thank you!
It's such a joy to watch each and every one of your sparring sessions. I've started training MMA a year ago (I'm 48) and I am still not comfortable with sparring, but these clips are a ton of fun and a good way to learn.
Loved to see you coming with karate on this video! Practicing Karate since I was a child. Very respectful sparring from both of you. Just loved it!!!
thank you bro!!
First time watching this and I can already respect your content. I can watch more comparisons like this all day. It's nice hearing fighters commenting on their fights and training sessions vs commentators or fighting fans talking about the details of the engagements because the technical facts of the momentary situation are lost. Fighters expose the details rather than commentating for fans which is better for viewer ratings but unhelpful when understanding what went wrong or right for the fighter in the moment. This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long while. Keep up the amazing work!
thank you for your support!
Your video breakdowns are impeccable not just by how you voice it but how you pause it and highlight the strikes darkening out the rest of the screen.
Thanks !!
As someone who has done Karate for more than 10 years
And also Kickboxing, some Muay Thai and other Martial arts…
This was a Joy to watch!
Super technical sparring, love the footwork and the accuracy of both of you guys.
Your sniper straights and his unorthodox but super effective side kicks (Yoko Geri)
Awesome stuff!
thanks for watching!!
Can Kyokushin Karate improve my kickboxing?
@@tshepokotelo3162 it’s the foundation of kickboxing boy
😮
“kArAtE dOeSnT wOrK”
thank you so much for giving recognition to a good karate stylist. Amazing video as always🙏🏻
:) thanks!
Everything can work, if we train real, but most karate schools dont train real
But Karate is really nice
The only people who say karate doesn't work:
People who watch MMA on RUclips
Thugs who only learned muay thai to beat people up.
BJJ practitioners with a superiority complex and think their art and themselves are invincible.
@@citrusparadox5831 yeah pretty much
@@lrar1027 everything except aikido and tai chi.
He's so good at kicking! In theory, dogde a kick in the head should be easier than dogde a punch, but that way he uses his kicks are as effective as a jab, even tho it has to travel more distance!
yeah!!
That's the thing that even some Karateka don't understand Karate Kicks are designed for you to either run into them or be quick and precise. But for both of these the key is sneakiness. If you want pure power Muay Thai or Kyokushin style kicks are superior. But Karate Snap Kicks aren't about power they are the definition of the shot you don't see coming is the one that knocks you out
@@killaben85 Agreed, Even though Rose is TKD her disguised snap kick to head of Zhang worked a treat & lead to her win.
Really love the editing on this video. Straight to the point and easy to see what's happening.
This is the best sparring video I've ever watched. Good editing, good info, great moves in sparring and respect towards each other. Keep up the great work!💪🥊
Great control and trust between you two. Really nice to see people sparring in a spirit of exploring and learning with/from each other.
cheers!
This is one of the best sparring videos I've ever watched, especially between 2 styles. You gave a very fair and unbiased breakdown of the session. Overall a great and productive video!
thank you brother!!!
@@MMAShredded Keep up the great content!
Real nice sparring. I love they way you comment through these videos. It's great to understand your mindset and Why yiu are doing certain attcks. Great work as always. Damn my dude got some serious kicks!
thank you bro!!
Best mma page on the tube I’ve learned so much from you Jeff 💪
thank you bro!
I really wanna see you collab with Gabriel Varga it’d be pretty cool to see considering he’s gonna compete in Karate Combat as well!
Yeah it would be awesome
Varga would win
it will happen one day!!
This was an awesome sparring session. I really enjoyed watching it and also learning from both of you.
thanks man!!
This was one of the most engrossing sparring sessions I've ever seen!
I'm a life long TSD guy w/a few years of TKD, and seeing y'alls different flavors with kicking is especially wonderful.
Credits all around, but I gotta say that Robbie's side kicks are on fire, and that axe kick was bonkers. Great stuff, this was really fun.
cheers!
What an awesome video!! The editing is really cool - one of the coolest sparring videos I've seen!! Kudos, Man ;-)
Now THIS is how to spar.
What excellent practitioners of martial arts these two are.
Sparring is a paired exercise.
‘Fighting’ is quite something else (especially in an uncontrolled situation)
Brilliant session to watch here.
cheers!
Fire sparring session 🔥 I love the karate style and what you said in the end is the best part of karate. Blitzing, in and out but with Muay Thai weapons is the way. Great vid!
thank you bro!!
A little late to the party but man did I enjoy this, and the way you stopped and highlighted what was happening in post production.
Great educational video. Really nice to see you guys go at it. Keep up the super work.
thank you for watching!
Outstanding Sparring session! Despite an obvious difference in reach and height, you both had excellent combinations and made the best use of timing, tactics and great movement within the space. One of the BEST MMA VS Karate fights I've seen so far, with an excellent and clear concise Breakdown. A TEXTBOOK Video on Strategy + Tactics for "closing the distance" for competitors of differing reach and height. GREAT job Guys!
thanks for watching!
You guys worked very well together. Robbie looks like an awesome guy to train with. He is very quick and flexible and those sidekicks are incredible. Often wonder why world class kickboxers such as Maurice Smith jettisoned the sidekick and lead leg round kick once they adopted Muay Thai style. Jeff, as always superior material. IMO among the best MMA and kickboxing content on RUclips.
thank you my friend I appreciate it!
Stance is the main reason.
@@ehisey yes, the more squared up Muay Thai stance does not lend itself to those lead leg kicks. Maybe if Maurice Smith had been exposed to Sanda he would have maintained those weapons.
You got my sub because this is the 3rd video that popped up on my feed. Your vids are legit bro! Keep it up!!!!
thank you!!!
thank you for the breakdown. made it much better for me to watch, understanding more what was going on. great vid!
no problem!
Robbie's kicks and distancing were amazing, but at the end when you started to pound the legs his defenses were a bit shaken. Great fight to watch and hope you both learned a ton. Good luck to Robbie in his career!
hes amazing!! thanks for watching!
When the karate fighter increased his speed... dude, the mma's one look slow... and he is way taller, that's why he landed the low kicks and jabs so easily. Can't you see how the karate's one slowed him down?
Love the egoless commentary and the humbleness. Nuff respek 🤛
:)
Great technique and restraint, guys. I like how you point out all the significant strikes and are fair in your judgements. It's also nice to see a sparring match against someone who is trained well in different styles like karate. Subscribed!
thanks for the support!
So much love during this sparring session! I enjoy seeing the control and precision, using the least amount of aggression with a great amount of respect and humility! Well done gentlemen!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
thanks for watching!!
Really enjoyed this sparring. One of the best i've seen from someone doing karate to be honest. Rob's flexibility and control is really insane and a beauty to watch. Had to replay his kicks esp. the axe kick, spinning hook kick, and side kicks over a dozen times😂😂🤦♂The way he leans back still having the control while throwing the spinning hook kick is truly remarkable. I do throw good spinning hook kicks but I need to work on having more control considering the fact it seems we'll be within the same height range. He also has good footwork for a karate dude, surprisingly not being so flat-footed. I noticed he has a pattern though which Jeff didn't exploit. Whenever he closes distance and he misses throwing a jab or front/side kick, what always comes next is definitely the spinning back kick which makes sense actually bcuz it should be the least counter an opponent should be expecting. He reminds me a bit of a well known iranian kungfu fighter, who often knocked out opponents that threw spinning hook kicks with his own spinning hook kicks with impeccable timing, and angle.
thanks for watching man!!
Ah man this was seriously enjoyable.
Nice rounds, Jeff definitely has elusive head movement. Love the front leg sweeps. Robbie doesn’t have hips? 😃This guys so open and quick with those kicks.
thanks brother!
i come back to watch this every few months cause it's so damn good. one of my favorite sparring sessions to watch
Thank you so much Jeff. Your channel is gold brother. Your cross to right low kick is beautiful haha. Love and respect from NZ 🙏🏽⚡️
thanks so much brother!
One of the most controlled and technical sparring matches. Love the setups. Also is this in the OC, this place looks so familiar!
thanks for watching!! this is in ottawa
I watched Robby a lot when I was a teen. When I saw him fight dudes way taller and heavier than him in the grands or team divisions it was so hyped to see him kick them in the head with those perfect kicks. I loved this video thanks
love your channel bro your motivating me to enter the martialarts as a student again !! thanks a bunch love the sskillset and the playfullness and respectyou make the videos !! much love from the netherlands
god bless
thank you man!!
Really good stuff, enjoyed this session.
really really good sparing session, you guys must have learned a lot with each other!
learned a lot!!
The flexibility and control he has is crazzzyyy
I'm looking forward to his debut
yeahhhhh!!
Your humility and respect is greatly appreciated. Subbed. Will be checking out the rest of your stuff. Good sh!t!
thanks for watching!!
Thank you for adding very useful material
I loved this! For perspective I'm nearly 59 years old and I've had an interest or curiosity in MA beginning with Harold Watanabe, a USMC judo instructor, better known as Tojo Yamamoto, a wresting heel in the southeast. The "Kung Fu" TV series solidified my interest. I've seen the irrationality in the way MA was displayed in karate and Chinese MA magazines. The opponent almost always attacks in the same style represented in the article and most of the techniques are performed at a distance in which a block isn't needed. As mentioned by another commenter there is a plethora of YT videos in which the prime motivation is apparently to make the cocky owner of the video look great while he shows a lack of common curtesy in his manner and his words.
This is a breath of fresh air! Here is martial artist who chooses to make encounters with a variety of styles, presents honestly with humility, showing respect and appreciation for his guest and their style. In doing this it is apparent Mr. Chan chooses to respect the viewer as well.
thank you for watching :) I appreciate the comment and support!
This was one of the best sparring matches I've seen. Both excellent strikers and really helps to show how karate can hold its own against MMA. (At least on the feet 🤣) great video jeff
thank you!!
What a great video, nothing more than technique, respect and information. Thanks for making this type of videos.
Great demonstration of many things, and what a privilege to spar with Robbie Lavoi! With an imbalance in reach I expected to see a lot of distance management, in and out, but I certainly didn't expect so many of the fast inside strikes to be high kicks. One never knows what you will come up against! Thank you both for the video.
one day I hope Jeff tries a kyokushin kumite session
id love to one day!
@@MMAShredded Go hard immediatly. Do the 100 man kumite challenge 😂
He's actually amazing. Super respectable skill. Love his approach to a way taller opponent. Thank you for showing me your experience and insight small master. Help us take down the giants.
cheers!
@@MMAShredded to you too dude!
greeeeeeat dude ..very good explanation ....keep with these videos...I´m sure...it´s gonna be my vision in a combat....
God bless!

This is so awesome!
I’ve been watching your sparring contents for so long.
Actually this is first time write comment.
My favorite video was when you were sparring the TKD guy.
That was really good match and I also watched sparring Team Passe Fighters in korea.
You are very good fighter and at the same time so respectful.
Your training video makes me work harder and harder.
I just want to say Thank you.
I have so much respect to you :)
Please keep up the good work.
thanks brother for the support and comment!!
He's making consistent connection, against a taller person, at his current height. I can't image how more effective this guy would be if he was taller.
Great observation. I thought the same thing. Can also imagine how a year of straight boxing would benefit Robbie. He is already a great standup fighter.
@@elindioedwards7041 agreed 💯. Great minds think alike 😂
hes sooo good!!
Brilliant comparison video! . . Great energy & control. You can't watch this & not have a big grin on your face. Great work sir.
thanks for watching :)
Always enjoyable watching your videos, Kru Jeff!
thank you brother!
I loved every second of this sparring session guys keep up the great content
thank you!
Literally every time:
Jeff: IN THIS FIGHT, LEG KICKS ARE NOT ALLOWED
2 minutes later: OOPS, FORGOT THAT LEG KICKS WEREN'T ALLOWED
Love you, Jeff. Thanks for rep'in the low kick.
Thigh kicks are not allowed. But calf kicks are
LOLOLOLOL
What’s the dude’s last name? I’d like to watch some of his matches. Nice work as always
He's very skilled
Robbie Lavoie
Lavoie!
Awesome content man! Really enjoy it and I often take this techniques to sparring
thank you!!
First time watching this style of video. I really learned a lot. Thanks
Thanks for watching !
Why so much urban legend that karate is not effective! Many great fighters base is karate. Leota machita and georges st pierre to name a couple. Smh
this was excellent sparring great pace control tech and stategic adjustments - really enjoy your videos - your willingness to share information - to challenge yourself and to acknowledge the skill/talent/iq of the people you are working w/ or sparring.. kudos
thanks for watching!!
Man Jeff your flow is amazing everytime I watch u bruh it just art
thank you brother!!
Nice format, I like it that you go straight to business, no bs
cheers!
Unfortunately I missed your seminar here in SoCal Hope to catch the next one!
hopefully next one!!
Thanks for sharing this bro!! Karate guys have amazing timing on their side kicks and spinning kicks from my own experience. This is amazing.
thanks for watching!!
Awesome breakdown brother! Thanks for sharing this!
thanks for watching!
Absolutely love your videos mate, very educational. Cheers.
thank you man!
4:21 that side kick was just beautiful, man...
I liked your previous way of editing videos where you slow down cool fast paced scenes you showed and break them down technically
Very nice put together video. A lot of information there 👍
thank you!
Such a great video and breakdown!
thank you!!
nice Video thanks for posting !!! Subscribed !!
That was cool, thank you for showcasing the different arts!
thanks for watching!
You make such amazing content love it!!!
thank you!!
This guy's kicks are incredible! I can see why you chose his axe kick as the thumbnail, it looks amazing. Really interesting sparring session, the breakdowns are really interesting and helpful too.
yeah he is amazing!!
Making the thumbnail where you are taking a crazy kick is EPIC. It’s why you are my favorite MMA pro bc you are more about the art than ego… which incidentally makes me respect the hell outta you!!
thank you brother!!
Wow this was so fun to watch. Thanks!
this remains still my favorite sparring footage in the entirety of youtube. I find myself coming back to watch this poetry in motion all the damn time
Oss
Good masterclass. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing content man good shit both of you nice breakdown too
Thanks mann !
Awesome. Loved this breakdown. Very interesting
Thank you!
Loved this so much i subbed ❤
thank you!!
Very Clean Sparring. One of my favorite four videos in this channel. 1 the taekwondo hard sparring, 2 the muay thai guy, 3 the four guys video and this one. 🥊👍🥊👍🥊🥊🥊
thanks for watching!!!
Instructing on so many levels, friendly, funny and humble. Thanks once again, amazing Video!
thanks for watching bro!!

Another wonderful breakdown!! I’ll try to use some of this in my sparring tomorrow.
thank you!!
Best MMA content on RUclips your the man Jeff!
thanks brother!!
I enjoy watch your sparring videos and listening to your commentary as I can learn what I can or should not be doing when I spar. As I do Muay Thai for a year I am aiming to learn karate as well so it improve my skills. 💯🥊
thank you!!!
