A simple drill looking at combining basic strikes with some historical forms of body movement. The Cross Buttock course is available here: www.pugilism.or...
So many good tips in fighting from so many different martial arts. The reality is, no art has a monopoly on effectiveness. Some may be slightly more effective than others, some in specific circumstances, but the fact of the matter is there are good techniques from every art if applied properly. Use what works, discard what doesn't.
Hello, I just came across your channel. Firstly mind blown, your content is amazing. The move at 1:29 is literally the cody garbrant ko at UFC 250 last week (for those that don't know check it out, its one of the greates KOs of all time and its the literal same move). Thats blown my mind even more. I train at a mma gym in london, hopefully can train at your gym someday or attend a seminar. What i particularly like about this style of striking is how it seamlessly transitions from combat sport to self defence. Like the way you hit the heavy bag with such power and only bare knuckles is awersome to watch. Thanks for the good work sir.
The 2nd punch was an Overhand left. A technical punch that is not a haymaker since it arcs downwards towards the opponent in both vertical and horizontal planes, effectively breaking through a guard.
My dear fellow. You are indeed well versed in both the science and art of pugilism. The lesson concise. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your loveones.
That backfist is very interesting you see a similar strike in Chinese LongFist Kung Fu as demonstrated by Dr Yang Jwing Ming and the stance of Mendoza's rival, Richard Humphries is very similar to the stance (L stance) that is often used by ITF Taekwondo practitioners when practicing a guard called an outer forerarm guarding block. That ITF Taekwondo guard is very similar to Humphries guard as well, down to the extended arm and other arm guarding the mark. Can you demonstrate the method in which Humphries' guard was employed in practice? One other thing I notice is that boxers of the bare knuckle broughton era seemed to fight in a flat footed way. This is interesting from an ITF TaekwonDo perspective because we are also told to practice our stances with our entire foot on the ground. This even though most, if not all, international competitors fight on their toes, like modern boxers. I'm wondering if the similarity in posture and presumably fighting styles arises because ITF Tkd is INTENDED to be used as a bare knuckle style (It's an art of self defence and thus assumes it will be employed in a sort of no rules environment) Finally the drop step is similar in my opinion to the way we step in sine wave motion when we a walking stance obverse punch (when punch with one leg advance and the leg that is advanced is on the same side as the punching hand) ( czcams.com/video/exTqs2kw91E/video.html at about the 11:55 mark)..post finally ..I notice Mendoza's advice re equilibrium is exactly the same advice we are given in TaekwonDo, in most martial arts in fact. The similarities are incredibly interesting and I'd like to mine English pugilism for insights into my art, ITF TaekwonDo, because I believe some of the insights into the use of the postures we (ITF Tkd persons) employ has in fact been lost. I've never gotten a satisfactory explanation on the use of L stance outer forearm guarding block ( czcams.com/video/JNYnXb-hUjg/video.html , czcams.com/video/XCMsrlOVcH4/video.html , czcams.com/video/gnWrClNfb7E/video.html, czcams.com/video/lrYkwihxCts/video.html) and I've never seen anyone using it. I'm entranced by your video and I'd be very much appreciate any feedback you could offer.
this won't work with modern gloves. Might be effective for fistcuffs but for mma gloves...well i recommend you do more variations and make the technique more effective to be practiced
Previous video got me to purchase a subscription on your website! Looking forward to resuming a form of weaponless martial arts! University is running me ragged, and encouraging very poor diet choices. But, I'm fairly active. So, I'm hoping if I keep up the activity, I can ween off the bad food as university goes on to a close, and ends.
Is this stance from pre or post-Broughton rules era? A lean-back technique like that would be extremely vulnerable to a double or single leg takedown if set up with a feint before the Broughton era banned below the belt strikes and wrestling unless one could perform a fancy, acrobatic backflip escape from a wrestler once he gets a hold of a leg!
@@EnglishMartialArts Great! It'll be nice for you to make a video of stance work and attack/defense forms of top pugilists such as James Figg during the pre-Broughton era where there is practically no rules.
Great Vid. thanks. Any chance we can see you with a partner showing these techniques. seeing them dome against a human partner helps keep things in perspective. Also, when are you going to do some Backward versus matt Estons's saber sparring agin. keep up the great Vids. Thanks.
I'd love to see that new Marco Danelli backsword in action, perhaps in a sparring video. Also, like Michael said, you could use it in the long awaited spar between you and Matt Easton, backsword against sabre. :D
It seems hes unecessarily twisting his arm and using his forearm. Corkscrew punches is what he was getting at, not the fore arm. Ive been boxing since I was a kid, and the one person Id recommend looking is Bobby Gunn, the bareknuckle champion. He really shows how to throw a corkscrew
if you were to duck straight down undoubtedly. The fact that it's sideways should help, plus it's in response to a punch of your opponent so as long as you don't do it every time you should be OK.
That rolling back fist is interesting, could you elaborate of the striking surface for that? I thought for sure you were going to come back with a straight forward uppercut or hook to the body. To the guy who was asking about Chancery, any drill is just that. In a real, fight few of these techniques come off perfectly, because you are having a "conversational exchange" with the other fighter(s). They get to interject their own ideas. :)

I like that. Seems as if the second punch could modified into a boxer's hook as well.
Absolutely, that's how Billy Wells used it.

Kung fu have his own boxing style, vertical strikes,usefull to mix all
I dont think any of these guys would have known about Chinese martial arts at that time
Thank you!
this won't work with modern gloves. Might be effective for fistcuffs but for mma gloves...well i recommend you do more variations and make the technique more effective to be practiced
Thank you for putting this martial up. Iv always been interested in martial arts, and this Western martial arts is fresh and new to me
you deserve more views man!!!!! this is quality content!!!
really very interesting. I would like to learn more about bare knuckle boxing. do you know where I can look?

Definitely Broughtons Rules Era.

Thanks Michael. I'd love to do more two person videos, but for obvious reasons it's trickier logistically. I should make more of an effort though.

I think you've misunderstood. It isn't a forearm strike, or a corkscrew punch. It's a rolling backfist strike as used commonly in the pugilistic era.
Great instructional video
The last hook punch isn't going to destroy your hand, right?
Substandard Gamer Kiba its a backfist. Something that almost every striking martial arts do from karate to mma
I did enjoy this.
Wouldn't that ducking and looking downwards motion leave you a bit vulnerable to chancery? Good vid, cheers :)
if you were to duck straight down undoubtedly. The fact that it's sideways should help, plus it's in response to a punch of your opponent so as long as you don't do it every time you should be OK.
Yes, I was considering that just now: it's not an isolated move. Thanks :)

Is what you are teaching functional or is it for fun?
Earned a new subscriber, great vids man!!!
Whats your take on Bartitsu?
Ludwig van Ditten it's the same except that it mixes some oriental strikes and grapple techniques plus it's more of a street defence method.
Is that what Sherlock Holmes did?
