Here is a list of a few things I believe in and use personally. I hope it comes of use to you, for everything here has been valuable to me. www.amazon.com/shop/mindsmash
"Throw them kings at me and I'll fooking show them who the real king is" Conor McGregor vs a deck of 52 cards. UFC 220 And you thought they'd run out of ideas!
1 track mind. Any time you see a white person you think "white" or "european" and try to discount what they're doing. Spend less time on BLM forums and read a fuckin book. New age conspiracy theorists.
conor has always been doing things differently. Honestly I thought the movement drills he did was some bullshit but the flow of he punches and smooth footwork is prove that he is doing something right
His first loss to Nate Diaz was literally pinned on Conor focusing on things like "movement training" instead of actually working on his grappling and striking. On MMA forums the movement drills he did with Ido Portal are considered a joke...
Yeah true that, but had he focused more on striking and grappling he might have been able to land better shots and not gas. Also might have been able to get better at grappling to prevent the fast tap. He literally trained movement for almost 3 hours a day. Had he put those into grappling & cardio.. well... he certainly would have done better than having put those in movement. But sure, if he had won because of his great movement this argument would have no value so it's always easy to be smart in hindsight. But some of that movement training was just ridiculous...
haha, yeah coz internet forums are the ultimate authority on MMA. You do realise it's just a load of fat, lonely dudes sitting in their mom's basement, hating on anything that moves! Da fuq outta here with your internet forums.
Don't take it literally. The cards are 'objects' which have a high unpredictability as they ride on air, so Connor tries to make very quick adjustments and well-timed responses.
USALibertarian he has a better chance of landing something sneaky and hard and rocking Floyd then taking him out with the follow up shots than he does of winning a whole round on points.
NOpcBS , you're so stupid to not understand what this fight is for? "I'm just in for the moneys, get in, get rich, get out young and healthy", Conor Mc Gregor. This was his plan all along. That's his payday. In 40 minuteds he'll earn more than your whole family has earned in its HISTORY. That's it. Wouldn't you? I would. And i guarantee you, i'd feel pretty good after. I'd be proud of what i did. Why the fuck not?
Very true on these weird training methods. When I did Judo, I used to nail a thick rubber inner tube to the wall in my garage and would simulate osotogari and over the shoulder throws by using the inner tube as resistance as if pulling someone over my shoulder.
I've been watching your videos one after another after finding the first. You understand and explain things in the exact way I aspire to do so. Thank you for your work.

Seen on mma wrld: touch sensitive led backlit pads about 6 in. in diameter hand-eye drill. any ideas? google produced nothing for half a dozen keyword searches.
That ball-attached-to-his-head thing looks really fun. Also seen Ido punch a tennis ball into the wall, bouncing it back with each punch. Didn't know that he knew stuff like this though.
Damn. I really needed this video. Sometimes it takes more than a bruce lee qoute on your pc background to get you on back on track. RIP my abuela and abuelo. I will never succumb to hate as I had as a teen. Please help me maintain balance. "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own" - Bruce Lee
Hey man, I love your videos. If you don't mind I have a favour to ask you. Could you recommend me some books that are mainly focuses on personal development? Maybe you could make a vudeo about it. Summer is coming up and I really want to improve some aspects of my life. These books can include interesting philosophies that gives you different perspective towards life, law of attraction etc. Thank you!
There's a study done where people were clicking little dots on a screen as a reaction test. They separated them in two different groups. One group who continuously who clicked the dots as normal, and another group who's mouse got inverted so it moved oppositely. The group who's mouse moved inverted, was proven to have faster reactions when it came back to the original clicking test.
Hand eye coordination/reaction have always been a mainstay of boxing. The speed bag is great but when people attach a ball to their head and move around. It's a smaller target moving in different ways and he has mobility to move around the ring. Same goes for the cards. Muscles memory, creating connections between the body and mind, and getting the bod used to varied movements is all important. Hell, I remember Jet Li making a web dome of tennis balls connected to rubber. People will always find new ways to train and some of them will be pretty valid.
If you already haven't, could you possibly do a video or some videos explaining Cus D'Amato's teachings, both the mental aspect and physical style itself.
I like the way you analysed this - it is the same realiztions i came to, this is what i do often for marketing, i reevaluate the situation in an objective base level way , build it up from scratch adn then design a strategy that can progress with all the factorials known now in new light, and it allows to be extremely adaptble and mobilized, and the benifit is outcompeting most competition. So this honestly is the best way to reinvent yourself in any industry ... as in this example boxing or mma, but the concept can be applied to anything.
He respects both of them but more so believes in people who believe in their selves. He likes that Conner has taken on the philosophy of Bruce Lee which Bruce got from reading Krishnamurti and is about the idea of the way of no way. Not adopting any method as being the gospel truth but rather trusting yourself and your own intuition to accomplish whatever it is you set out to do. I respect anyone who attempts to express their-self honestly.
you are 100% correct. Perfecting a craft and sticking with it as to not get rusty is 100% necessary. But only using 1 or 2 or a set number of techniques will limit your adaptability and stagnate neuroplasticity. Learning new methods within the same craft not only broadens your arsenal of skills, it actually makes your already perfected/autopilot skills improve as well. As a musician, I have experienced this countless times. Great video.
My guess Vasyl's father makes him do hand stand push ups to be build upper body/shoulder/deltoid/traps strength to help with the'whipping' of his punch.
I used to practice racquetball when I was younger, as a compliment to my kickboxing. In racquetball you have to be ready to hit a ball that travel really fast , and from any direction...
i think this kind of training remind me when i first started doing weights. and, i read that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, your muscle won't grow after awhile. or, it reach a plateau. that's why you need to mix it up and 'surprise' your muscles. in such things, people around us will always think we're crazy or it won't work. but, ignorance can kill if you're not careful. most, weirdos like Albert Einstein are called stupid and slow when they were young or just starting. But, turn out he's a genius. whose laughing now eh? :p
punching cards is a drill aimed at practising to be formless, he is not flowing in a rythme and his angle's and movement are varied and often his form will be incorrect in order to reach the cards, this is practise not to throw incorrect formless punches in the fight purposely but if he is in a of balance position he can still throw a effective punch and get back in position, therefore even if mayweather is in better positions and gets mcgreger in venerable positions which he will mcgreger can still punch from these positions.
i dont do boxing so i wonder, how come i never see fighters workout rotation strength in the neck? Like biting one end of a resistance band and rotating
For me this all comes down to timing. The term "timing" implies the choice or judgment based on what you anticipate happening, but if you're opponent is utilizing a technique which nobody has experienced, they are unable to anticipate you, thus unable to make a proper judgement as to what to do in response to what you're doing. That's why fighters with wacky styles like Dominick Cruz are extremely effective even if everything they do is fundamentally incorrect. Fundamentals eventually become obsolete when new unorthodox techniques are designed to beat them, then with time, these new unorthodox techniques become the new fundamentals, and the world of martial arts keeps evolving.
I like this card drill, i think to take things into another level his trainer should make him punch/dodge and stuff like that according to the card to further improve his reaction timing, like jab for 2, cross for 3, duck for 4 and so on, that would force him to read and addapt very fast to all kind of situations.
hey, hommie. You should take a look to Emilio Augustus. Maybe you can analize his timing and real-dealing fight style. I never saw such a good-looking masterpiece boxing skills, he have a very unique way to show they
I train similar to this,but out of nesesity. I live in a wooden house,and so do wasps,lost of wasps. if you spend any time outside in the summer you get bombarded, so I've learned to punch wasps.
i get what you mean. i went from breakdancing to hardcore dancing. the beginning was rough but once i learned it, it was almost as easy as breakdancing.
This may sound silly but I try to hit flying insects with shadow boxing, go to a place in the yard with a lot of flies (fortunatly its private so no one sees) and hit them out of the air.When you get more comfortable and arent allergic to wasps try it with a wasp since they actually want a piece of you.
The cards are for timing , concentration , not rushing a punch. Helps to prevent reacting every time a feint is given by your opponent , you dnt rush as soon as you see it.
billab0ng83 bullshit....its all bullshit this will not help his sorry ass when mayweather is punching him around the ring. ido is a fucking gobshite...movement coach me bollox.

Conor McGregor vs a deck of 52 cards. UFC 220
And you thought they'd run out of ideas!
"those card will know who the king is when he bangs the deck."
The_Angry_Raccoon the European is so insecure! You have to explain McGregors training every time he looks stupid and weak. Weak ass people man
The_Angry_Raccoon Nate Diaz already made Conor beg for mercy trying to fight for life 😅
1 track mind. Any time you see a white person you think "white" or "european" and try to discount what they're doing. Spend less time on BLM forums and read a fuckin book. New age conspiracy theorists.
c-Los Montes Good thing Floyd is half the size of Nate Diaz

Lmao pinned by who? Internet forums? You mean idiots on Sherdog that are not fighters bashing real fighters? Cute
Ah Kinchil yea but he lost because stamina.
Yeah true that, but had he focused more on striking and grappling he might have been able to land better shots and not gas. Also might have been able to get better at grappling to prevent the fast tap. He literally trained movement for almost 3 hours a day.

Saiyan Born and when it happens, its the best fucking thing that happens to you all day
Conor hired a magician to teach him how to be Mystic Mac against Floyd.
Don't take it literally. The cards are 'objects' which have a high unpredictability as they ride on air, so Connor tries to make very quick adjustments and well-timed responses.
His next match will be against Gambit
shadowdance4666 FOOK GAMBIT! I AM THE X MEN!
Don't bet on McGregor winning. Bet on him doing better than people think. Bet on him winning some rounds. And don't bet too much.
USALibertarian he has a better chance of landing something sneaky and hard and rocking Floyd then taking him out with the follow up shots than he does of winning a whole round on points.

USALibertarian that is the most educated prediction/piece of advice ive heard/read.
basicly, there's no chance? #Ashow #TheBloxTV #ErickKelly
You were totally right
Very true on these weird training methods. When I did Judo, I used to nail a thick rubber inner tube to the wall in my garage and would simulate osotogari and over the shoulder throws by using the inner tube as resistance as if pulling someone over my shoulder.

Devilikg, did you see the 1st Floyd vs Maidana fight? Conor definitely has a chance to land power shots.
Brandon Smith so your saying because maidana can land , Conor can lmfao, maidana would knock Conor out in one round
Brandon Smith maidana was an elite welter weight BOXER Conor couldn't hold maidanas jock strap

Patrick Tarenio nah actually everything he says in the video is true, you're the one emotionally invested on the opposite end brah

great videos, we think very alike, very high fighting IQ, love it
reflexes, focus, precision & accuracy!
Congrats on your 100k subs
Amazing work as Always brother 🔥
I used to practice racquetball when I was younger, as a compliment to my kickboxing. In racquetball you have to be ready to hit a ball that travel really fast , and from any direction...
I recently started throwing tennis balls, one in each hand, alternatly agains a wall and catching them. Its greatly increased my hand speed.
i think this kind of training remind me when i first started doing weights. and, i read that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, your muscle won't grow after awhile. or, it reach a plateau. that's why you need to mix it up and 'surprise' your muscles. in such things, people around us will always think we're crazy or it won't work. but, ignorance can kill if you're not careful. most, weirdos like Albert Einstein are called stupid and slow when they were young or just starting. But, turn out he's a genius. whose laughing now eh? :p
Awesome training with fluid body movements
damn why do you smash my mind every time...
punching cards is a drill aimed at practising to be formless, he is not flowing in a rythme and his angle's and movement are varied and often his form will be incorrect in order to reach the cards, this is practise not to throw incorrect formless punches in the fight purposely but if he is in a of balance position he can still throw a effective punch and get back in position, therefore even if mayweather is in better positions and gets mcgreger in venerable positions which he will mcgreger can still punch from these positions.

Make one of lomachenko! Maybe you already have one, but if not that would be nice 👌
For me this all comes down to timing. The term "timing" implies the choice or judgment based on what you anticipate happening, but if you're opponent is utilizing a technique which nobody has experienced, they are unable to anticipate you, thus unable to make a proper judgement as to what to do in response to what you're doing.

Fundamentals eventually become obsolete when new unorthodox techniques are designed to beat them, then with time, these new unorthodox techniques become the new fundamentals, and the world of martial arts keeps evolving.
You're fuckin right, some say Cruz is crazy, the ones that understand the mechanics of fighting know hes a genius
I believe Vasyl's father has him do hand stand push ups, because increases awareness, body control, balance and is a really good upper body work out.
I watch these videos for Evo 2k17 prep
mindsmash. what if he caught the cards what additional benefits would that produce
Your one of my favorite youtubers.
My guess on loma's hand stands is its for balance from core strength?
@mindsmash I believe Vasyl's father has him do that because it takes incredible balance not to mention upper body strength
Very true. I've been doing martial arts for more than 20 years now and I also incorporate many wierd exercises with a very good outcome.
Bro, we need a video covering Ben Nguyen vs. Tim Elliott right now, RIGHT NOW BROOOO! I want to hear your thoughts and breakdown of the fight.
Fantastic vid bro 😄😄
awesome vid as always
your the man, this channel is awesome

Holy fuck. Lomanchenko joggling the ball was impressive. That's some serious technique
Did he play football when he was younger?
Oscar Hade he played pocket billiards going school Lol
We do this but play poker at the same time. To try and see what it on the card helps with eye focus.
it would make more sense if he was catching the cards between his thumb and forefinger. that would show better reflexes/reaction/hand-eye cordination.
Very well said.
perciption time training?
Very well said
around 1:53 McGregors trainer looked disappointed when he didn't hit the card😂
I've seen Punching Bubble's and
Catch the chicken.
Does anyone know more drills?
The cards are for timing , concentration , not rushing a punch. Helps to prevent reacting every time a feint is given by your opponent , you dnt rush as soon as you see it.
billab0ng83 bullshit....its all bullshit this will not help his sorry ass when mayweather is punching him around the ring. ido is a fucking gobshite...movement coach me bollox.
for wrist stablity & pure body control, thats my guess on loma's Last drill.
Help,Mind mash. I was about to up load you a link of Lomechenko. Please watch him picking backwards numbers. It seems similar.
Kali stick fighting can be used to learn movement and openings in boxing as well.
