    This was a great session that I'll remember forever -- thank you for the rounds, champ 🙏
    Regarding the comments about Icy Mike and me: it's natural to compare skill levels, but Mike has a style very different from Gabriel and myself. It's a style of striking that favors MMA, and his ability to contend in sparring has very little to do with his ability to convey information and build strong fighters. I consider him to be one of the best coaches I've ever met -- and I've be around!
    Just wanted to step in and have my boy's back 😅 Mike is the man. And tough as all hell!

    • @Ninjacob00
      @Ninjacob00 Před rokem +25

      Great point Shane. While most people are quick to point out how technically sound you are, Mike’s style is much more nuanced to the casual eye. The little tricks he uses to allow him to get off shots while some may think are “dirty” (not me lol) are an art in and of itsef

    • @alexpointon784
      @alexpointon784 Před rokem +31

      I think Mike also has a very diverse skill set right? As he has said before most of his experience of fighting has come from being a cop, so he has more experience than most in real world conflict. He also looks like he spends a lot of time working on that skill set. You can see that in his resent knife fighting video where he outwrestles a larger opponent.
      Not everyone can be a 6 time world champion like Gabriel, but I think we can all learn skills and techniques that can help us protect ourselves and the ones we love. In short, become Hard to Hurt
      God, that last part was corny!

    if anything from watching many fights and sparring in you tube, it was almost all good fighters and champions they dictate the phase and even the rhythm of the fight; never the defensive type but the attackers or counter strikers. secondly they exude tremendous amount of confident due to they knowing what to do / highly technical.

    @CEOdosPutos Před rokem +1

    I'm seeing a lot of comments about how impressed they are with Shane and Shane is in fact very good, what i find off is thinking a professional fighter is somehow untouchable or something. As someone who train with pros and amateur fighters in Brazil i must say there's no difference between a pro and a very serious practioner, the difference is in the mindset, a pro wants to compete and sometimes someone who really love training does not, that's all. There's guys in my gym who are absolute savages, they train up to 4 hours a day just for fun, they are not worst than any pro in the gym and we have Bellator (MMA), LFA(MMA), WGP(KB) and some other good events Champions.

    I want to like Icy Mike, but he has said some really dumb stuff, and some of that dumb stuff was dangerous. Saying oblique kicks don't blow out knees, which is patently false. They absolutely do if done hard enough and depending on where and how you connect, how straight is the their leg at the moment, the angle etc. In one of the arts I have trained (Silat) oblique kicks are used mainly for knee destruction.
