Took me over 25yrs just to know that sparring would be the gold standard in my training. Every modern world champion and many old school fighters in boxing used sparring to help them get to where they wanna be. Fact
So let me get this straight, people are criticizing you for sparring at 60?! Thats a hell of an achievement. How many 60 year olds are training in the first place, especially in America? Keep up the great work brother. They dont really want the smoke. 💪🏽
Can anybody tell me where this gentleman teaches boxing and does he teach Jailhouse Rock because he looks like one of the old-timers back when I was growing up and I'm 51 years old I am from New York City but I do live in Passaic New Jersey now so can anybody give me his contact information I do want to learn how to Jailhouse Rock boxing the guy knows exactly what he's talkin about I've been around a lot of Old-Timers
Good to see you again, sir. I have a couple of questions regarding my workout if you have the time to help out. Every other day, I put on a pair of boxing gloves and use the punching bag (12 3-minute rounds of standing in front of the bag, 90-second rest between rounds) while wearing a weighted vest. I have been doing this particular workout for a few months now. Do you think the weighted vest is a good idea or not? I am also trying out time-restricted eating, specifically no eating after 6 PM, which is about one hour before my workout. Have you tried this kind of dieting before and do you think this can work well along with my current workout? I'd love to hear back soon, thank you very much.
Mike A: A LONG GUARD. Front hand extended to judge range and use as a "FIRST CONTACT" point (grabbing opponent with the extended arm). I do have one warning though: If you at least develop SOME hands, your entries will be easier because the man in front of you will have more to be concerned with.
@@TheUmmahFightCamp Thank you so much!! I've been wanting to put a teep out in front of me instead of a jab. I gotta make it out there to NY and train with you. Thanks for all u do!
Amen Brotha 🙏🥊🥊👍this is why I’m subscribed to your channel. You are a True inspiration to our generation, true to our manhood, and true to why masculinity is important within our society. Not only has this “ Woke “ society gotten soft, but have degraded the very essence of true men. I am 63, and still take fitness as part of my regimen for life. Sparing is also a part of it ( when time is allowed ) mostly archery, hiking, and mental upkeep. Thank you for yet another uplifting post 😎😇🙏🥊🥊🥊👍
And even after 60, he continued to fight in exhibitions until his unfortunate death. Another example is also Jem Mace, that man kept fighting professionally into his 60s and then fought exhibitions until his death, his last recorded entry in the ring was at 78 years old. I am sure Jack Johnson would have done the same if he didn't die so soon in that unfortunate car accident.
@@daboxingscholar Correct, young men don't have any good older role models anymore, I saw this growing up. All the older men just kept letting themselves go once they hit 40 or something thinking they are past it. And once they let themselves go and gave up all athletic pursuits, they became weak, fat, out of condition. They basically caused their own physical downfall by giving up on athletics, but then they just simply blamed their age for the downfall instead of their lifestyle as if it's supposed to be just "natural". Couldn't fight anymore, couldn't lift anymore, couldn't do anything physical anymore. And because of the amount of older men in today's society who just let themselves go, young men are just going to think that's "natural" and also let themselves go as well once they hit a certain age having no inspiration or motivation to look up to in order to continue anymore. We have examples from the past that prove that it's possible to remain in great shape into old age. Bodybuilders like Otto Arco remained in great physical condition well into his older years, and this man lived long before steroids, so we can be sure he was completely natural too. Boxers like Jack Johnson and Jem Mace also stayed active into their older years. You sometimes see that in modern boxers too, in the George Foremans and the Larry Holmes, while not to the extent Jackson or Mace did, Foreman and Holmes were still active into the age that would be considered "old" by western standards. But none of the younger men know about any of this. I don't think most of them have ever even heard of Jack Johnson or Jem Mace. As I said before, most of these young guys have zero "old man" role models, most of them think that once you are 40 or something you are past it and are just supposed to give up and wait for death, that is a very sad mindset and sad way to live, and it annoys me a lot to see people fall into that belief system. Society is in desperate need of older role models and western society is not helping with that at all by calling people "old" once they hit 40 and saying they are of no use anymore.
What are your thoughts on Gervonta Davis upcoming fight with Rolando Romero? The overwhelming majority of people believe it will be a highlight reel knock out for Tank because of Romero’s unorthodox style and leaving himself open, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on this fight
LASLAY: Hey Brother! The other boxer in the video is like a little brother to me and he asked me to take some personal info out, not related to boxing. So many haters that would be jealous.
ASSALAMUALAIKUM coach this is an OFFTOPIC question, but what do you think of Sean Stricklands style in the UFC? I personally find him to be one of the most sophisticated fighters in the UFC, and really learn a lot everytime I watch him fight. Him and Khamzat Chimaev are my favourite fighters to watch along with Jiri Prochazka. Actually, what do you think about each of Sean Strickland, Khamzat Chimaev, and Jiri Prochazka? Could you make an in depth analysis about these fighters?
Wa Alaikum Musalaam Ahk. I like all 3, but I do not think the last 2 are as smooth in their MIX or Mixed Martial arts as they could be. Sean I have not watched much, but will and get back to you.
Thebestnever: Yes!! These martial arts wannabees are so gullible! The man NEVER really trained Mike Tyson and lost EVERY pro fighter he ever had because he cannot train his way out of a paper bag and yet Americans, more than any other group sees him as an expert! Idiots!
Big respect OG. Just found your channel, appreciate your insight and point of view. I’m 44, started Boxing a year and a half ago with no end in sight. Shouldn’t matter but just for sake of demographics: I’m a white male from Dallas, Tx. Keep doing what you do 💥🥊🙏
Dr. Ummah you and I are about the age. Our generation was way more respectful of our elders. We knew that those old men were war veterans of WW2, Korea , Vietnam and racism. Those men old men would beat the shit out in a minute. When talking to them the first word out of your mouth was mister. You never saw a child call a man by his first name ever.
Don't know what y'all did to get OG started, but he's entertaining as hell as he tears y'all apart. Why would you dog him for sparring? His defensive technique is top tier and we're lucky to have him spittin game like this.
Sir, would you consider doing videos on how you were trained in Karate the way it was supposed to train decades ago, please? I know there are videos where you talked about it but I wish to see a video where you focus on that topic. What kind of training were done then? How were training in Karate different than now (especially in the US)?
Respect Bro Sayf. You took NO shorts in this video.💯 One more thing...is your Ummah Fight Camp still closed? On Google, it says your school is temporarily closed. Thnx.
fin hyland: I have to be reasonable lol. I feel like a guy who has had some injuries that require an advil on occasion lol. I consider myself fortunate.
What intensity of sparring to you typically adhere to? I ask in the context of research showing that fighters tend to accumulate more and most damage out of the ring - via hard prolonged sparring. Also do you have any concerns about CTE, what do you do to ensure your safety and the safety of yourself and your students in the context of sparring. Maybe you can do a whole video on this. I'm a supporter of your channel, and a self defence and martial arts enthusiast, thought I wouldn't class myself as anything special. If anything, I am adverse to getting injured based on the severe beatings and injuries I've seen and known of since the age of 9. I work as a doorman so safety and protection are things always at the forefront of my mind. I also work with and have come across many guys who have lifelong niggles and injuries due to martial arts. 👊🏿🇬🇧
My students were just talking about my teaching methods 2 days ago! 1) I PERSONALLY MONITOR ALL SPARRING! I TELL THEM TO BRING IT DOWN IF NEED BE. They go just hard enough to learn. About 50%. 2) I use HEAVY PAD WORK for power training. Then they strike 100%. If you are not hitting SOMETHING 100%, it is NOT self defense. 3) MOST fighters DO NOT suffer severe or noticeable brain damage! MORE damage is done by smoking marijuana.
Greetings Master, I am saddened that you even had to post this video. Social media is thronged with paper coaches/masters, I don't think at your level you need to even address these children. Please continue doing your work and I hope at some point I can make it to your camp and learn something from you. Thank you, Sir.
who criticize someone for sparring? you could call out the sparring technique, but every martial art or fighting sport needs sparing against resisting oponents. I highly doubt joe rogan would be against this, I highly doubt that, what did he say?
francisco nikotian: Joe Rogan SAID the first time he saw boxing, he was like "Oh, Sh....!!". He also has gone on record saying he feared brain damage. JOE ROGAN wants no part of the kind of head contact you see in this video!!!!! You people do not think lol! Joe has the number of the best fighters in the world! If I had them, you would see me sparring with 50% of them! Light maybe, but sparring. JOE ROGAN is the biggest proof that millions of people over 30 and males are kids at heart. Real men see him as a fraud who kicks bags and air well.

Mike A: A LONG GUARD. Front hand extended to judge range and use as a "FIRST CONTACT" point (grabbing opponent with the extended arm). I do have one warning though: If you at least develop SOME hands, your entries will be easier because the man in front of you will have more to be concerned with.

Tell em OG .Jack Johnson fought till he was 50
60 actually, you can look it up, his last fight was recorded at sixty, not fifty. So he fought for even longer.
And even after 60, he continued to fight in exhibitions until his unfortunate death. Another example is also Jem Mace, that man kept fighting professionally into his 60s and then fought exhibitions until his death, his last recorded entry in the ring was at 78 years old.
