Kickboxer from Singapore here 🇸🇬 I started watching you from Hamza and completely agree 100% with everything you just said. I started Taekwondo 🥋and Muay thai 🥊after getting bullied in an all-boys sec school for 5 years when i was 17 and im now looking to turn pro! I got into fighting literally because it what scared me the most. And before every bout i had there was always some major fuckup in my personal life that i had to deal with on top of being petrified before entering the ring/cage. Earlier this year in june, my rotten toxic ex went on a defamation case against me and trended me on instagram right after i lost my second kickboxing fight. I literally had to fight through months of physical and mental pain only to lose again in august. I wanted to quit so badly but i promised the little-me that i wouldn't let him down and that i would be the Champion one day. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next month or even next year. But i will get there. Last month was the final fight i had this year, and i proceeded to outclass my opponent and beat his ass from pillar to post. Round 1 to Round 3. If there is anything Muay thai has taught me, it's to do the hard work especially when you don't feel like it ;) Keep rocking bro :) From the Cobra (my ringname) to the Gorilla 🐍🦍

Are you kyokushin karateka ?

Fighting makes you tougher mentally and physically. You learn to push yourself beyond limits. I started with Muay Thai and it forced me to toughen up and not be afraid. I train BJJ now and I love it. Both two tough sports :)

As someone who has been boxing for over 10 years this is really good advice for beginners. One thing I will say is always just be honest with coaches and others in the gym in terms of your level. I've seen so many guys pretend they are more experienced than they actually are and get hurt. All because their ego doesn't want to admit to others that they have no experience (in most cases more experienced guys will be able to tell your a beginner due to bad technique/form etc). You need to treat it like your a student everytime you go in, listen to coaches, ask questions, study outside and make sure you conditioning yourself to be fighter not body builder. You will be surprised how much confident & better you will get if you dedicate yourself for 5-6 weeks. Good vid man.

I’ve tried judo recently and it’s been great. The level of conditioning and strategy is insane. I used to try and practice grappling with friends, but when I joined the judo club the first time I actually did randori ( sparring ) against an opponent it was crazy. He was so good with throws, trips, ect . He won easily without even trying and I couldn’t take him down . I realized that there is levels to the sport and I’m more than glad to learn. It’s so fun once you get over the initial fear , and the training partners ( especially higher level people ) will help you with techniques and mistakes you make .

I've been boxing for about 4 months now and love it! I quickly got addicted to improving and the thought of actually being a good boxer will drive you.

God tier video thank you man signed up going tomorrow always had natural ability with fighting but never pursued it being stuck in my comfort zone really appreciate you man thank you again.

Amazing video, I started learning to fight a couple months ago and can say first hand that once you get started and see improvements, it becomes insanely addictive. There's nothing quite like the feeling of sparring someone and handling yourself well

I wrestled for 6 years and have been training MMA for a year and a half. I recently got my blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu. To anyone who's looking to get into combat sports just have fun with it. Also, like Jack said don't have an ego your ego will get in your way.

i wanted to start freestyle wrestling but there's an idea in my head that i won't be able to consider myself capable of winning fights (which of course i dont want to have in my life) even though an average wrestler usually beats an average striker, how do i deal with such strange thought? when i wanted to start boxing i thought that it still cant help you against a wrestler, when i thought of doing mma i was sure that i won't be good at any aspect even though i will be decent at all of them, etc. the more i think about it, the more time i waste

I’ve been going to spar just boxing with my mma brothers and it’s been the single most monumental thing I’ve done in my life. I’ve been a fight fan for most of my life and I’ve been able to let out my passion every week along with my anger and it’s given me so much confidence outside the gym in such a small timeframe. When your in a fight multiple times a week anything else in life is easy.

Love the vid bro, I'm currently going to uni, a pretty sporty one in England and they have a boxing gym, I've always wanted to fight and to learn to fight, these tips are golden!

I liked the idea of fighting and being a badass fighter when i was younger, truthfully that was my entry into lifting weights and physical culture and training. I had learnt some martial arts and defeated all of my bullies in my teens and upto 20 years old because by genetics and attitude I was quite aggressive and strong. Mostly I won, excepting one. Now all those romance have faded when I have a career and getting into a fight isn't exciting, due to fear of recieving or giving an irrevocable injury. I like grappling arts as wrestling, catch and freestyle, but picking fights with random folks doesn't interest me. I plan to learn boxing and kyokushin karate only for self defence and fun. Wrestling because I want to prove my strength, not necessarily injure somebody. That's my overall view nowadays and welcome to be corrected and put new perspectives.

You can do both but you’ll have to prioritize one because you can’t be “really” good at both. Have a primary goal and supplement that with the other. If you’re not lean and have a solid base of muscle first, focus on that before trying to learn to fight.

I did boxing in my high school and I can say that it helped me a lot but really a lot because I did a lot of sparring and I remember the first time it was when we had just started the sessions I asked a classmate to do a sparring I was horrible I was afraid to take blows to my face so I lowered my head or I turned my back and I took more punches doing that and in the lessons after the teacher told me don't be afraid to take blows never turn your back keep your hands forward and what I did and I said don't be afraid take yourself 100 blows and that's it. lessons afterwards the teacher told me don't be afraid of getting hit, don't turn your back and keep your hands forward and that's what I did and I said to myself "don't be afraid, take 100 punches if you have to, but don't turn your back" and that's what I did and that helped me, I got better at sparring of course, afterwards most of them were inexperienced like me, but we'll say that I was able to have a minimum of experience with that

For step two in my opinion if someone is just going to do striking I would go with Muay Thai because you're using punches, kicks, knees, elbows. Also, Bjj could be frustrating if you're rolling in a Gi. However, No-Gi is like wrestling with submissions. I feel that boxing is very one dimensional but if you want to get good with the hands I would recommend boxing all the way.

i've been training several martial arts while also training bodybuilding/powerlifting, now i'm on My school wrestling team, most guys are really strong and look really Big or lean, they are all really strong and Manly. they do know how to fight and we do live wrestling a Lot so it's not like we're just doing dumb stuff, My coach is also an mma coach si he really knows how to fight fight, i'm from Venezuela and now i'm on usa si for anybody in american high school i reccomend to just start wrestling as its just free martial arts training

If anyone is looking to get into MMA I would recommend doing wrestling and jiu-jitsu first before you start striking. The reason why I say this is because grappling has such a huge learning pool and a fight on the ground is totally different from standing. Then when you feel comfortable with grappling then transition into striking. If you're looking to compete I would recommend training for a solid six months to a year

I did Muy Thai for a couple months and almost all I did from the start was spar. Stuff was brutal but I'm glad I did it.

The only thing im afraid of is getting injuries that will have impact in the future. I am working as a software developer and have long-term plans of starting some kind of business in IT sphere in a couple of years, so my brain activity is pretty important to me. However I think that during sparring there's pretty high chance of getting an injury that will have a negative effect. I have an example: my father did karate for the most of his twenties and after 30 he started having serious problems with his eyesight. Also I have other examples of people breaking nose, legs etc. So I am considering this and would be glad to receive an advice how to start doing martial arts (primarily for self-defense) but with minimal risks of getting injuries that damage the health in the long run.

@oppolatoespresso6369

My advice would definitely be to focus on grappling, whether it be BJJ, wrestling or judo. Striking arts, especially boxing just carries too big a risk of brain damage to make it worthwhile for most people. You have to love boxing with a passion/have a career in it to justify regular sparring in my opinion. Obviously with judo and wrestling (especially greco-roman) there will be a lot of throws which actually Can cause brain damage as well, but this is VERY minor compared to being hit in the head, it’s probably not even worth mentioning. If you pursue grappling arts, be ready for a lot of nagging pain and so on once you’ve done it for a reasonable amount of time. Loads of BJJ players are dealing with aches and sprains throughout their bodies, and these will of course only get worse and worse the longer you do BJJ. I don’t want to come of as a pessimist, these are all facts and you already Seem to know there’s definite downsides to combat sports. I don’t know you and therefore I don’t know if you live in a bad neighbourhood, if that’s not the case I personally wouldn’t be too worried about potential street fight situations. If you are worried though, but you’re not quite sure yet if want to jump into martial arts, I would recommend looking into things such as situational awareness and conflict deescalation etc. Lifting weights and getting bigger could also make potential troublemakers think twice before attacking you, but obviously won’t give you any fighting skills whatsoever. But yeah, if brain damage is a concern, which I totally understand, but you WANT to do some form of martial art for self defense purposes, a grappling art is the way to go. Read up on the downsides of BJJ for example in terms of injuries, and make your decision from there. There’s loads of positives to BJJ/wrestling/judo as well - it’s up to the individual to decide what’s right for them. Hope my advice is useful🤟

I don't really fear it I think, iv never fought but I willl definitely start once im done with school in half a year.

I have no idea but just a raw observation here. Ju jistu strikes me as something that was designed before asphalt when fighting and battles were mostly fought on grass, dirt, sand, and sometimes on softwood flooring, but never anything as hard as asphalt or sidewalk. Also it I think it was made as a last resort tool, only when your enemy closes in on you and you have to hope its 1v1 and that his buddies will be busy fight off your buddies. The fact that there nearly no punching or kicking in ju jistu, but instead a focus on choking, take downs, twisting limbs and joints also makes me think it was designed to overcome armored opponents, but again as a last resort in battle. I wouldn't even think about trying to punch or kick a fully armored Samurai or Knight. I would want to be one hell of a ju jitsu fighter. And in a street fight the last thing I'd want is to go down in the floor or concrete with another dude. Today I think boxing and running makes more sense for self defense.

Its pretty situational i would say, you're right in terms of i would try make sure its a 1v1 before i even think of going to the ground, but if i get a hold of them, the average person has no clue what they are doing in a grappling situation, and if you can get their back its over. I also find it a safer option for both parties, i know its a street fight but the last thing i wanna do is kick someone in the head and them go head first in the ground, that risks too much damage or even death. walking away is by far the best option, boxing / muaythai / kickboxing are the 3 best for striking and jiu jitsu / wrestling are the safest options if it does get to a fight. just my opinion tho

Yes, it can, but when you also train different it wouldn't be huge. Also interval training which is a huge part of fighthing was proven to increase Testosterone. Also sparring and competing against other men will increase your testosterone. I would rather think about other things that can lower your testosterone. Drugs, little water intake, ungealthy nutrition, lack of supplements, inactive lifestyle...

Actually I'm afraid of it because both of my shoulders dislocate really easily...

You look like you would rock a mustache pretty well, also it would probably be good for branding, make your face more memorable nomsayin?

Train hard and prepare for one so that you don't have to have it. Learning how to fight and having fighting skills is in the end about avoiding fighting, and just in case it is unavoidable, being able to do something about it. If you enjoy challenging ideas and if mastery and masculinity are subjects that interest you, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel. Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!

No martial art is easy to pickup fast whether it be boxing, muay thai, wrestling or bjj.. It takes time and dedication. If you want your art to be fully effective you better compete or at least practice it with real pressure (hard sparring).

MMA is really fun to train and learn. U just need to find a gym with good ppl in it, and guys who are there to help learn, but not gonna destroy u completely because of big egos.

had to buy my gloves and gumshield without my parents knowing, they are very against the idea of boxing, thinking it will make me aggressive and violent person, I get where they are coming from, but I know if I don't start now, the dreaded day that is destined to come will happen, and I won't be prepared

They are wrong man boxing/ martial arts is a great stress reliever and confidence booster you need to be able to handle yourself if things get physical. Just do the boxing training to prove to them there wrong and it is good for you.

One time I got into a fight I lost control and hammered someone That's why I don't fight

thats why gyms teach you have control, dont let your emotions take over in a fight, thats seen in the fighting community as a weak mind.

Would you recommend building a solid base of muscle for 2 years or so before joining martial arts?

@OptionsNZ

9 ай бұрын

no just head strait in brother, its better to get 2 years worth of technique and skill than 2 years of muscle.

I have been highly struggling to find a gym, as I live in an area that's quite rural, not alot going on here. There are some that are in neigbouring towns, yet they are mad expensive. Then there's one that's like 35 min away, which is very affordable. With gas being this expensive and me being a student with a low income job, both are bad options. Does anyone know how to start training the basics by yourself?

just run to the gym, free cardio is a bonus for being athletic and bettee at fighting, or you can just take a longer walk listen to some music and chill, i never drive to the gym maybe bike or run when im hurrying but its mostly just chilling and winding down

@thorfinn2749

but if the gym is affordable i dont see why you should be hesitating, its good, affordable, gives confidence, etc... Or you can just start learning the basics like: footwork, dodging and throwing punches by watching youtube videos

bro ilove your videos but dont use circle just use full video of yourself and make little subtitlles that will be more better
