Good idea imho, how to read opponent's posture, body language and striking patterns to predict his actions/reactions.

@tophernolastname2378

I can answer this: learn "proper" technique (there's no "right and wrong" way to throw anything, but there also is lol), and remember it all so you'll know when your opponent shows bad technique. You can't "predict" anything in fighting unless you're a soothsayer. When people say they "predict a punch", it means they "saw it coming"-- I.E., the guy made a big mistake before they threw the punch, so the other guy prepared a counter or defense right away because they're more skilled. The guys who are the best at predicting punches, Usually take naturally to having good punch & kick form, and remember it all on the spot. Max Schmeling vs. Joe Louis is a good example of this. Schmeling-- the technical master who built his career around having a Perfect jab-cross, and strategizing, which is still practiced as a standard of German boxing today-- noticed that "whenever Joe jabbed, he dropped his hand after, which was the perfect opportunity to throw a right counter." Schmeling KO'd Louis with that right counter after Joe threw his lazy jab. Joe improved this aspect of his boxing right after, and it made it much harder for anyone to counter him-- thus, Louis won the rematch against Schmeling. This goes down the ladder obviously-- if the guy has "perfect" technique, you'll have to notice "other things" they're doing, like if they're shifting their toes or smirking their nose or something like that, or rotating their shoulder or twitching their wrists. I compare this trait to being naturally good at math, and struggling with math. Some guys can just "do it", others can't & need to either study really hard, or settle for a C to pass the class & move on.

Using Low intensity steady state cardio (liss) and high intensity interval training (Hiit) together is great for building faster recover and better overall cardio and faster recovery. The LISS builds a greater overall cardiovascular capacity. The hiit helps work at a high rate and recover in shorter poriods of time. You can use either of these or both to increase your cardio and recovery. For LISS I do 45-60 mins as soon as I wake up. I find doing this allows me to build cardio in a measurable way. In the afternoon I do a hiit workout based on grappling or striking. I Get close to maximal heart rate and lung capacity with a high intensity interval exercise. I train for 3/5 minute rounds so my drills are of equal length and breaks match 1 min break in fights. For athletes in other sports it's a different timing for hiit. As for in between rds I suggest Learning meditation or breathing techniques. This is a huge bonus for recovering quickly as you will get more oxygen through your system and learn how to stay calm which helps reduce adrenaline dumps in fights. Sorry I'm not Gabriel but I train myself and work as a PT so hope it can help in some way.

You need to build your CO2 tolerance. Google this, it's super important. Izzy Adesanya and all the people at his gym train this, and he himself says it's brought his game to another level. To practice this on your own, breathe all the way in, then all the way out, but make your exhale as long as possible. Then continue holding your breath with your lungs empty for as long as you can, until you're forced to breathe back in. You may only be able to do it for a few seconds at a time but keep at it, and build it.

Could you do a video on holding the pads for people, if you haven't already? I realized I have a much greater passion for helping other people with their martial arts, over fighting & winning & losing & drawing-- and brain damage. I've never had a concussion or broken/fractured anything; I'd like to keep it that way. Kingmaker > King. Help would be appreciated, plz sir. If not for me-- for the people.

Perfect. Just start slow. If you find you're still blinking during the drill your partner needs to slow up until you feeling safe and comfortable. Bit by bit you can increase speed and power.

What is the standard progression for sparring? Is it a “throw you in the deep end until you can swim”or utilize these progressive processes?

great video ive gone about 30 minutes blink-free 😶

OK... so this is straight out of CMD, are you sure you have never bought a DVD or checking out Rodney King. I know you told me last time you have never heard of it, but this is shockingly the same exact thing. The wall or corner drill as we called it. I was a CMD certified trainer from 05 when it started until 2019 when I left it, so I know it extremely well. I have seen a lot of people use word for word and exact copies of what is found in CMD and deny it is to take credit. I find it interesting how often you are falling right in lock and step with it. No one can owns movements... I can careless that you are using or showing it because quite frankly you do it better than all the others I have found trying to use it. I'm quite sure it's because your a great fighter and you have great context to put it in. Good video by the way.

Nope. Still never seen his stuff. Interesting that it's similar though. He's strictly teaching self defense right? I don't know if I'd use this drill for self defense. I'm sure he has a good spin on it though. I'd be focused on head movement and footwork if my back was against the wall and there were no gloves on.

@@GabrielVargaOfficial no... he had changed more to self defense through the years, but in the beginning it was all about sparring performance. It's just exactly the way you show it, do it, talk about it...verbiage is the same too. Where did you learn it? As I said know one owns movement and to be honest screw Rodney King, he isn't a good person and is exactly why everyone has left his program.

This works great until you're gassed, defense starts with cardio haha
