SUMMARY:
Before I give you the tip, let me share a cold, hard fact...
Fact-you will never be a great martial artist if you only practice alone. There is simply no substitute for a live training partner.
There are two goals in martial arts training-first, to control yourself, second, to control somebody else, specifically a bad guy who is out of control.
If you’re training solo, you can go a long way on that first goal. You can develop your speed, strength, flexibility, coordination, breathing a million different ways. But ultimately, my friend...
...martial arts is about relationships. It’s about relating to another human being, particularly someone who is trying to hurt you. Learning to control and manage a person like that means you will always need a partner.
Now, back to the question. How can you improve yourself as a martial arts by yourself? Here’s my tip-- do something WITH something!
It could be a staff… a tube… a band… a ball… a heavy bag… a stick… a jump rope... a pair of dumbbells... a stuffed dummy… a chair, whatever!
Just remember the big idea--to control something outside of yourself when you practice. Find something to challenge your balance, your strength, your focus, and your coordination.
The list of ideas is endless. But it’s up to you to experiment with equipment and exercises that fit your style and meet your training goals.
So, if you’re training alone and want to make the most of your solo practice time, do something with something. Then when you hopefully get the chance to train with another human being, you’ll have some experience controlling the pressure caused by something outside of yourself!

When He said maybe you have no Friends
I felt that
I understand. :)
With time you learn not to give a shit,
btw introverts rule.
At this moment, i can tell you're a filthy weeaboo. Learning Not to be one is the first step towards being a good fighter.
Same xd
The naked on The woods thing hit me hard
0:17 "Just don't touch me"
He knew since 2018 we'd all have the coronavirus
Nah.
Loooool
Ukraine towards russians
Him: maybe you have no friends
me: excuse me?

HA! 😄
stan BTS and you gud armyyyyyy

Omg felt that

I train with my smart phone in my hand while watching Ando's video.
Ha! You're a one armed master! :)
When you said phone in hand, I thought you were gonna talk about masturbating.
@@whatisthis6265 😑😂
Ouh fap?
@@whatisthis6265 same😂
Lol Bruce Lee said "boards don't hit back"
But double-end bags do!
And the Vo Ball System does it even better.
Still gotta try that!
Ando Mierzwa I just ordered it so I'll tell you how it is once I receive it, and play with it.
Cool!
When he mentioned running around naked acting like a ninja in a forest...
how did you know?!
Cameras are everywhere!
😂 lmao
That's how he learned ninja techniques
@@AndoMierzwa 😂😂😂 one thing in common between every martial artists is a good sense of humor
@@syedmdabdullah3052 I hope so! :)
Never seen a youtuber with such a consistently good like to dislike ratio. Amazing
SHH! Don't jinx me! :D Thank you for noticing!
akeel brown less views = less hater
akeel brown yeah it's amazing right?
It is! :)
akeel brown He is a great sensei, but everything he says on his videos also works in life.
That's why we love him ;)
4 years ago , I had the 'luxury' of training with partners! . Now i have to train all by myselves!. Have been solo training for 4 years now!. I always had special ideas on how to train in a particular day by utilizing what's around me!. But then using a chair to practice takedown defence/distance control was something I never thought of !😅
Thanks for enlightening me!👍👍👍
Safdar Kh same here.
My only good training friend went to the navy and I no longer have a partner.
So for 3 years.
It's been solo.
Shadow boxing,videos, visualization training,heavy bag,door frames,shadow boxing with weapons, weapon drills etc etc.
ishimaru masato Hi five 🙋
What about meetup groups? what could be interesting is exchanging different styles. For example you can show a person with judo boxing or karate techniques and they can show you some of their techniques.
Thanks sensei Ando for your tip on working out by oneself. We at times find ourselves doing it whether it's because our partner is busy or it's convenient etc. Found your video was good advice. Please keep providing us with more of your videos and we'll keep watching, applying it, and providing comments. Thanks again !
I truly appreciate your support, Steve! Keep fighting!
As an elite martial artists I have the ability to train full time but for many people out there it’s often a struggle to get to classes. Training at home or alone is a must for continued development. Keep on training guys!!
I hear you. Just make sure we make the most of our time when we do have a partner. Arrive early and stay late! :)
Great advice!!! "Take a seat" has a new meaning :D
Ha! I'm working my way up to the couch. Thanks for saying hi, Sifu! :)
Kung Fu with Sifu Kuttel Hi sifu! What are you doing here? Haha
Maybe i'll practice with a pencil
At least sharpen it! :)
Looking forward for awesome vids
“Maybe you like to run around naked in the woods and play ninja by yourself”😭😭😭
Don't martial art body shame me...
And it's none of your business where I "Keep getting all these ninja stars from"...
Owch
HOW TO PRACTICE MARTIAL ART ALONE?
the answer..."YOU CAN'T"
Idk I think as far as just learning the basics and keeping good physical condition would go a long way. But you're right, you're not going become a black belt alone. But they do have things like double end bags that help you train timing and reflexes. With enough hardwork you could at least become a competent brawler.
Great tip! I personally use dumbbells and nunchaku in my practice and I can't even begin to tell just how much that improved my power, balance, punch recovery (meaning pulling back my arm quickly after I throw a punch), footwork and hipwork, as well as a guard to defend myself from hits with one arm (other arm holding a nunchaku which happens to be a great yet merciless teacher). Thank you sir!
Yes, sir! No one has ever hit me harder than a nunchaku! :) Manipulating weapons is great for hand sensitivity and angles. Keep up the good work!
Thank you guys for an other great video. Your videos is really educative and inspiring. It has actually inspired a lot of my own videos. Great work Keep it up!
Thank you very much, sir!
Great FACT...great TIP...great video! Thanks (as always) Sensei Ando!
Always makes my day when you comment! Bless you! :-)
Exactly, I don't Judge, but DON'T Touch Me!!! 😂 And How did that Dummy Pin Him?!? 😳
Ando goofing around💪 l'm surprised the chair didn't pin him.... Lol
Glenn Dhue, 😂
Amazing advice. Thank you.
My pleasure! Thanks!
Thanks Ando, it's been hard to me to find the time and will to train... I need to listen more of your inspiring podcasts ;) (and watch more of your inspiring videos).
Don’t give up! Even a few minutes is better than nothing. Keep going! 🙌🏼
Well , I practice Martial Arts alone .
Me, too! It’s better than nothing!
Yes you can! see me
Ando, you are a very good teacher. thank you for your videos
Thank you, Scott! I work on teaching just like I work on martial arts, so your comment means a lot to me. Happy training!
Thank you for the Advice. Great Video. Thumbs Up
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
You look so sad in the thumbnail 😂
I’m much happier now, thanks!
Because he doesn't have friends *anymore.*
"You might not have any friends"
oh....
A martial arts video just hit me deep
Ha! It hit me, too. ;)
I practice with juggling flower sticks, and it greatly helps with my coordination. It's using two sticks to control another stick, usually tossing it between the two or spinning it, using one or both sticks. I've come to learn after months of practicing these juggling sticks, that the discipline and focus needed to practice was enough to get anything done. So I stared involving work out routines with my practice sessions, and it greatly improved my confidence in solo training
That’s awesome! Now I’m looking around the room for three sticks. 😄 Happy training!👍🏼
Such a convenient video for me, thank you. Subbed.
Always awesome tips and a good laugh hahaha thanks Ando! I think training with weird things also trains your creativity which is necessary in unexpected situations... it makes you think outside of the box and makes your reactions less previsible :)
Absolutely! You can learn a lot from a jug of water or a rock! Happy training!
Thank you sir! I wonder how many martial artists ever cared to consider the benefits of learning things like juggling, writing with the non dominant hand, archery, driving stick shift, things of that nature. Challenging ourselves is what this whole thing has always been about. Goes back to your one video there when you said ABC always be conditioning. Even in mundane tasks we can choose to try it with our non dominant hand or choose activities that make us synchronize our hands together. But how many martial artists would look at something like juggling and think oh what a phony! Or look at a ballerina and say that's not martial arts! In reality martial arts is a colorful way of war, so if it translates, I say train it!
I agree! So many activities and small challenges translate into skill development for martial arts. Keep the brain and body working! Thank you for the comment! 🙏🏻
I like the chair thingy, dog Kung Fu , using (tables and chairs) I seen it in inside Kung Fu magazine!
Cool. Just grab something!
Great tips Ando, you just gave me the inspiration I needed to keep carrying on with my training in spite of all obstacles. God bless you and thanks for all of your precious videos!! Alex from Italy
Yes, keep going, Alex! High five from the USA! 👋🏼
Surprisingly prescient! Thank you. Terry.
Right! Now more than ever. Stay safe!
Watching him fight that dummy was the best thing I've seen all day
Another great video with a great message! Keep up the great work Ando!
One of my favorite things to tell students: "If you are low on resources, Get Resourceful!".
Thanks for the kind words! And I love that quote... might use it!! :)
Steal away! :) Looking forward to your next video. 👊💥
You’re awesome Sensei! Thank you!
I appreciate that. Thank you!
Good lesson, thank you for posting.
Thank you for the comment, sir!
WOW!!!! it was a requirement for people like us,whose professional life schedule make training alone a TINA,thanks a lot,training with partners now and then will a great quality control scale
I think training for martial arts on your own is great
It’s definitely better than nothing! :-)
Yeah 👍👍
Bless you, too!
Ando Mierzwa Definitely!

This thumbnail is amazing😂😂
😄👍🏼
Chair!! Very creative bro.
Ya do what you gotta do, right? :-)
how about dildos
You don't have to do that.
Shay Clancy please keep it clean. Ando's a great family channel. Lets please pay him & his channel the respect that both deserves.
Ha! You sound like my real Dad! Thanks for your support, sir. I'll have the car back by 9:00. :)
This video is just what I needed right now. Thank you!

HA! 😄
Good advice and you help solve my own problem! I will use these techniques in new year.
Awesome. Have a great year, sir!
Thank you so much for your tips🙏
Very welcome! Thank you for watching!
I'm sorry, Fluffy. Sensei Ando tells me that you don't count. I guess that you have to play with the mice.
Fluffy is excellent at scratching and jump kicks... but terrible at chokes. How about two cats in a sleeping bag? That could work! :)
Hahahhaha the cats will win no doubt xD ahahhah
Think I'll pass on "Sparing a (moving?) car!"
Essential Oils For Wellness I think he meant it in a street fighter bonus round kind of way.
Ha! Yes, that's advanced. Start with a parked car. :-)
Obligatory Street Fighter 2 (Final Fight?) reference...
Gotta look that up!
Essential Oils For Wellness I thought that was pretty funny! XD haha
Just wait til it transforms. Kidding.
as always, helpful.. thank you for everything you helped us with
u really change how people train for their self defense and make them self feel confident because they're more properly trained bcuz of you , we all thank you .
That is very nice of you to say. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your advice.
Thank you for watching!
Hello I've been training MMA for almost a year now but I only train once a week because I'm still in senior high school. I rarely spar because I'm very busy studying. But I've sparred more than 6 times now I think and it really helped me to be more conscious about my techniques like doing in n out after attacking and changing angles so your opponent couldn't counter you and timing my opponents rhythm, so I could attack safely without getting countered. I have 1 question is there a way to reduce your flinching alone without a partner. I've already tried tying a key or rock in a rope then swinging it back and forth and try to do some head movements defense on it but I still flinch. I do shadowboxing and heavy bag punching. I think my striking techniques is decent now but my flinch response and defense is crappy. Please respond, thank you.
Good for you! Training to not flinch by yourself is not easy. Even though it sounds crazy, can you ask someone you live with to spend five minutes throwing punches at your face? They can wear gloves! Just start slow, don't hit back, and focus on staring down those punches and breathing. A little extra practice will go a long way!
Thank you Sensei!
Me wants to train alone
“Sees a video about training solo”
Video: it’s impossible
Me: oh-
Dont give up im training alone with karate i have small sparring experience in the past i know how to block a punch you should try shadow fighting it wont supply enought bat your reflexes will improve it save me once in a fight
Any training is still better than no training! Do whatever you can! 👊🏼
Josh Mapa Thanks for the tip I’ll try what I can I did study Taekwondo when I was In middle school for three years and left it now I’m going to stick with Kung fu training and hope it gets me somewhere 🤞🏻
Ando Mierzwa will do
What style of kungfu are you practicing
Good video ! Its working 100% , I do this exercices every day and now i can control my body more easy.
Effort pays off. Keep going!
You're a great guy. Thanks for the tips!
I appreciate that! Thank you :-)
"Maybe it's quarantine"
😁
Sir in thumbnail be like:
*They ask you how you are and you just just have to say you are fine*
Came back to this. Started watching a years ago barely knew where to start now I’m in the semis next week🙏🏽 this works yall
Very cool. Keep up the good work!
Great Tip! Thanks!
Leo! Keep rocking, my friend!
ha ha ha ha
man you killing me !!!
When he fighting with that dummy it was looking like a old child fighting with a pillow
😂😂lol
It was pretty pathetic. :-)
@@AndoMierzwa Maybe to those who don't know; For the initiated, it's pretty clear that dummy had some training.
😐
@@Msosbog Yes! He watches everything. :D
Thank you for this!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much brother now I got something in mind
Awesome! Happy training!
Quality content
I'm trying! Thank you!
3:21 me imagining myself fighting with my enemies.
yeah that's called shadow fighting
Wow! Awesome advice
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Great advice, as usual.
Your comment is always appreciated, sir!
: u’ll need these things
me: im broke.. how
ando what all kinds of styles of martial arts do you do?
At this point, Ando style. :-) But I'm studying Kung Fu, BJJ, Karate, and Systema nowadays. Thanks for asking!
So - hm - you study Ando style hm? Huh hm hahahaha hm so you think you can defeat me hua hm hmm...
😧 Well, yeah, probably...😳...hm
🙏
There is a famous saying in the world of Kung Fu: "When Ando style is added to Ando style, demons and spirits will be terrified" and "When the Ando is added to the Ando, heroes will sigh knowing they are no match against it."
Great advice!!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
does Shane from fighttips' tennis balls count?
That was a great tip! You bet!

Hi Ando! In the middle of a Corona lockdown, this video is more valuable than ever! I forwarded it to all my students. Greetings from Germany!
Best wishes from the USA! Stay safe over there! 🙏🏻
Thank you Ando! I really needed this. I am always stressed when training with a lot of people so I find it more easy training by myself, but I didn't know how. This helped me start training at home by myself. Thank you! Always effective and amazing videos.
Thank you for the kind feedback! Yes, you can develop many important skills on your own. But find times to engage with others when you can, too. 😁 Happy training!👍🏼
SHUTTUP I DO HAVE FRIENDS
If they spar with you, even better! :-)
Mr Fishfinger hahaha
Ando going to town on the heavy bag and dummy😂😂👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Dealing with some anger issues. :-)
Ando Mierzwa hahah ok 😂😂love you ando man
Great solid advice
Thank you very much!
THNKS NICE ONE FELT THE POINT
Thank you for watching!
Yeah ... Your cat doesn't count....
Unless it’s a tiger. Tigers count.
Ando Mierzwa True. That will be the best training ever
:D
Calm down my dog is like training :'(
Could be!
Actually its not a fact. Look up a guy Name "WORKOUT black ninja" he trains alone and is amazing.
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "self defense activities" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Eonuke Stupendous Equalizer - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to self defence techniques to keep your family safe without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Such a great video with inspiring advice. Thank you.
I'm not sure why, but that's my favorite of all your thumbnails 😁
Stay safe and go spar a car 🙏
We share the same mentality. Here to support you and follow your channel
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
LOL. I confess. I have used a chair: lying on my back, trying to move it around above me (and hopefully not letting it fall on my face!). I mastered the chair and moved on to tables and ladders and... I'm just kidding. I totally lifted Thor's hammer though... I didn't. I suck.
I trained with my wall and broke 3 knuckles
I can see through my brothers room now though
Congratulations on the new window! :-)
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this video
You bet! Thanks!
When I need a partner to practice on I just use my girlfriend....
Jk I don’t have one 😭
Don’t give up!😄
i've been subscribe for you for a year now. mabuhay all the way from Manila. you're a good sensei and all your tips are very helpful especially to me :)
Greetings from the USA, my friend! Happy anniversary! 😉 Onward and upward!
Wow.You help ME a lot. Thanks.
Happy training!
This is exactly what i was looking for 👍🏻
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
One thing that I have found useful is to record myself while I practice, this allows me to see what I can imprrove on and also get feedback from other people. Happy new year Sifu!
Yes, sir! Absolutely record yourself. That's one tool the old masters never had available! Unless someone could sketch really fast. :)
I love this video. Love you Sensei.
Love to you! 🙏🏻
Thank you. 🙂
A very honest and detailed video. A Martial Artist can always look for ways to improve even when training alone although practicing with someone will really help us improve a lot.. I somehow remember the quote "two heads (or more) are better than one". Keep it up and more power!!!
Yes, two heads are better than one! It makes choking practice so much easier. ;) Happy training!
Ando Mierzwa hahaha!! especially for choking technique haha! More Power and keep it up! we can always share our knowledge to everyone and learn from each other as well 🙂
ShitoGuy Martial Arts Amen to that! 🙏🏻
Thanks.
Nice tip :)
Thank you very much! :-)
