​@@angelsjoker8190I love clinching now. It's like an urge when someone goes to hug me. My mind is saying: clinch, clinch... knees, knees. 😂

Me and my wife (both kyokushin karatekas) often just randomly spar with eachother when standing too long and talking 🤣 Nothing like hard sparing, but still pretty weird for our friends around when we casualy chat and block incoming punches

There is nothing "random" about that behaviour. Random means that of all possible outcomes, each is equally likely. That cannot possibly apply to the behaviour you described. Hopefully, you are not of the opinion that the concept of something being "random" is just too complex for you to possibly understand.

I’m the type of person to not just be shadow boxing my shadow or reflection, I go to full on war with my own shadow or reflection. But yes I will admit I’m a bit addicted to martial arts, especially when it’s a day or week I’m not training since I’m not able to be there.

When you tell your wife your endless gym stories even though she's sick of hearing them You play non stop 80s martial art themed music You look forward to shadowboxing at the beach like the karate kid 😂😂

I do every single one of these, AT LEAST in random, sporadic events; not necessarily habitually of all of these, to the extent of the video. Another thing I'd add, is seeing something randomly online, or thinking about some kind of move, and then randomly trying it. Could maybe consider it shadowboxing, but I think it could count as a separate category lol

I didn't expect to have all five. Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not a weirdo 😂

😂4/5 I recall one time when I did the bear-crawl up a public stairs when I first got back to Hong Kong, and the pedestrians call the cops on me, thinking that I’m crazy hilarious

Using kicks to turn off the light switch

The only thing I am addicted to😍🥊

thank you for validating my weird habits

I do ALL of these. Plus, use feet to turn lights on and off and hit the garage door opener. This is particularly helpful when carrying something like groceries and you don’t have a free hand. How about this one: while brushing teeth, hold leg in side kick position and make figure 8s with leg to build strength in the hips and glutes specific to kicking. Switch legs between upper and lower teeth.

I open and close doors and low cupboards with my lead leg. I'm convinced it has made my teep and push kick way better haha

I remember earlier on in my training, doing skip kicks in the corridors at work when i thought no one was looking. Gave the cleaner quite a shock when she walked out of an office straight into me😂

Guilty of 6 of those 5 haha. I’d add in play-sparring with my dog. Safely of course. Shin checks/teeps up and down the stairs is a good one too 😂

I clicked on the channel at the perfect and low and behold I’m here before the notifications got sent out

All my years of training in different martial arts and the place that it comes in handy is - NOT dealing with muggers, NOT for having a calm mind, and NOT to stay healthy but - to use my foot to flush at public toilets. I'm talking super control. Even if the handle is high...no problem. But if I ever come across a cord, or chain to flush, as in some countries, then my years of martial arts practice were for nothing. 😔

@harryxly6240

Жыл бұрын

take the shoes and socks off and you can grab the cord with the toes 😂

Being more of a grappler, I do shadowboxing at home or at the office... But I always shrimp out of bed and whenever I stand up from sitting on the floor I do a technical stand-up.

Ahaha! All of these are on point. How about being in the middle of a boring conversation, you zone out, and then you start slipping, bobbing and weaving 😅🤦‍♂️ Yeah I was paying attention, I swear..

Every of those points was very relatable, gives me hope that I someday might be able to achieve something in the world of combat sports/martial arts. Started wearing barefoot shoes and made my fighting stance my everyday stance and vice versa. I am probably autistic and do not give any monkeys about what people think about me anyways...

I'm always teeping push doors open and then moving clear of it without touching it on the closing. It's much more fun than pushing them open with your hands

I also do random footwork drills, especially if there is music playing in public places

LOL!! I totally do this stuff! I also do a "boxing shuffle" sometimes at random! Never thought about this stuff until now! LOL

My Dad,brother and I did Judo together..he was so obsessed, he put judo mats all over the living room and dining room in our apartment..we used to roll and practice our throws whenever we'd get in trouble.. Definitely thought it was normal lol

The stairs one is new to me. I need to implement that asap

Whenever I am in company with other friends, the topic sooner or later becomes something around martial arts, I don't know why. My friends mostly have nothing to do with fighting and I also don't initiate those topics because I know that I could talk hours about it.. Still for some mysterious reason when I am there we always end up talking about this xD But I think you can relate to this very well, everyone being curious and asking you things about it.

Oh, another thing I constantly find myself doing that I don't think anyone's mentioned.. But during martial arts movies or horror flicks and I start getting tense.. I'll get up and start working out or I'll fight along with the movie or start practicing a new kick or move I see..

One specific to me as a Judo guy. I always sweep doors open lol.

I had a friend as a kid who fenced and he was always twitching his hand around like he was shadow fencing, but just with his hand not his whole body. It was kinda funny.

Guilty as charged! Thanks for sharing Gabriel.

This channel's really been poppin lately🔥🔥

Definitely all of those, except for the stairs one because I don't have stairs in my house. I truly believe that those things actually contribute a lot. The amount of extra time you can put on details by doing this things actually add up to a considerably amount of practice and getting used and confortable with the skills.

My 21 year old daughter has been helplessly exclaiming to me FOR YEARS..."Dad...THERE'S NO ONE THERE!!!" At my habit of breaking into shadow boxing anytime, anywhere, for no particular reason!

I will add those to my list ❤️

Man Gabriel being so relatable here fr fr👌😩

Ah man way to call us out!! I'm laughed at called dork from all this behavior (don't normally do the stairs but avoid them and just jump onto my front deck 6/5 I do all of these but ALSO watch Varga everyday

Great advice. ⭐ ⭐ I will apply them to my life immediately! 💯

My kitchen's arranged a bit like a U with stove, sink, and cabinets on different sides, so I practice footwork while cook.

As a judo guy practicing foot sweeps is a habit. I'll be standing around talking to people and people will look at me and ask me what I'm doing with my legs or if I have adhd. It's really easy to slip into

so relatable, I am 4/5 (not doing the mirror stuff yet), moreover, i used to walk oddly at the stairs before doing martial arts (as i am tall, i use to try to walk as much stairs per steps which makes me walk oddly).

Hey bro continue. I’ve been doing boxing for 1.5 years. It’s extremely rewarding you’ll see. Feels like I started yesterday. Many times in public transportation when the driver hits the brakes I fall into my stance instinctively, better than falling on my face I guess. Also, I’m able to walk while the bus/tram is moving more easily unlike how I used to move before I started training. Good luck, don’t quit.

I been finding myself pivot and cross, jab and low kick a lot more lately

I'll refill the water jugs from the water cooler at work. I'll always carry it with a tight Gable grip, but sometimes I'll do lunges while carrying it back. I have to use my feet to open the doors. My coworkers eventually stopped asking me if I need a hand changing it. I really like this video and everyone's responses to it!

Yup! All 5 🤣👏👌 I also like to teep walls when I’m waiting for a train, or shadow around station pillars 🙂 ...I have others too 🤷‍♂️🤭

This comment section is awesome n wholesome.Made my day. I feel understood now

I'm doing at least four of these daily 😂😂

Honestly didn’t know I was addicted now I know just thought that was me being pumped but I do these everyday

Randomly shadow boxing during conversations with people or at a party, martial arts during laundry, playing with my kid and incorporating martial arts into play, kicking doors at home and elevator buttons at work, and I always run/bound steps or jump skip them at work. Check

This is so relatable

That is my secret captain, I am always warmed up!

When you start practice kicking lamp posts randomly:

I don’t do all these things but I appreciate the new ideas

Everything is training.... ;-). I find myself light -sparring with my son in odd places like inline at the supermarket cash-out....

apart from shadowbox i also do staredown at mirror, a relaxed and confident look that scares your opponent

I did all the things 😂 except the stairs and the supermarked shadowboxing! Nice video. Its funny i thought that nobody Else did theese things😂

I also shadowbox in front of my dog😂 he hates it and starts barking 😂

5/5 for me. I'm just really bad when it comes to actually fighting, but I am addicted to martial arts and will always keep doing them

omg i can so relate. relieved to hear that im not the only one 😂

3:30, the one thing I've never done, everything else I have. Haha as a traditional martial artist, I used to do mabu (horse stance) while waiting for the bus. If I've got a broomstick, I'll typically do some spins and strikes/blocks with it.... also used shadowboxing as a way of moving thru nature, like I need to go in a direction I'll use evasive footwork or combos to move in that direction. :P

Omg its so true. Never realized it because it seemed already normals to me after all those years

there is a method to it. Inward opening doors are for sidekicks, outward opening doors for front kicks, any buttons underneath lower chest height is kneeing material.

No stairs stuff, but 4/5 - I feel like I'm obsessed😍😅

hahah - great vid - opening everything with soft kicks! or dancing at a party - find myself doing Forms LOL! :)

These are so accurate 😂🎉

Whenever somebody tries to hug me, I get an underhook and then go for a go behind, completely unaware of what they were actually trying to do.

sometimes i hold a cup of water and throw high kicks to see if i can balance the cup while drinking and throwing high kicks

Shadowboxing during commercial breaks. I also never just get out of bed. It's always getting off the floor or escaping bottom position.

it's impossible for me to go the bathroom without some punches and kicks , or when ever when i'm all alone in a closed place

Random shadow boxing: Yeah, I do this. Less so now than before I hit 30 though. Closing stuff with my feet: Still do this, usually when my hands are full (I can turn door knobs with my foot) Mirror: I don't do this. Punching stuff out the air: Did it a lot when I was young. Not as much now, except part of an exercise I do that involves it. Stairs: I only walk up stairs normally if I'm exhausted, or in public when I'm not in the mood to draw attention. Most of the time, I run up stairs, skipping one every step.

5/5 here... I have other martial arts ticks! How about sitting watching a movie, and start lightly punching your own face especially around the eyebrows, chin and nose. Or maybe knuckle conditioning on any surface, or when barefoot, striking the floor with the ball of feet, or lying on the couch and extending a side kick. Trance like fight visualization on the train with focus on defensive. I could go on forever.

Ah I recently learned that I can adjust the shower knobs and hit the light switch with my foot at the same time

When your family member/spouse or whoever is on the couch and you walk over to them just stop short of their face with a roundhouse and start spamming tae kwon do style quick kicks just inches from their face... Just me? 😅

If my dog is at the top of the stairs when I'm coming up, I'll put him in a thai clinch. He's a big Mastiff and pretty strong.

Yooo I never thought about the stairs!

I do the shadow boxing, always doing weird shit up the stairs, and using my kicks for doors and drawers haha! I also slip and roll tree branches on my jog to work hahaha

Man you got me 😅🤭 I’m an addict!

Yep these are facts

😂 i thought i was the only one..i met this new guy in a football ⚽ match like a week ago ..before the match starts .we were talking about how endurance is also very specific etc ..then after a brief silence i suddenly was angling off center to land that liver shot on his body ..😂😂 i was lucky he didn't seem too surprised, maybe he does that too 😅

NOrmal is average, be OutSTANDING!!

YES!!! i do all of these things

I usually grab kitchen wear to practice Kali. Plus sometimes when cooking things in Microwave I would just shadow box

oh and when walking cross a crowd of people is always my way to practice footwork on leisure. Also when making a 180° turn when walking I'd always do a boxing pivot turn on the inner circle. I find it a lot faster and smoother than doing the outer circle.

Lmao I do all of these 😂 Also ever since I started BJJ I shrimp and/or turtle out of bed almost every morning.

Instead of turning like a normal person, I pivot. I shadowbox in the bathroom mirror and even in the shower.

Omg lol so so true lol closing things w foot yes shadow boxing lol. Kicking Street signs in whistler 6'- 6" off the ground
