The bouncer reminds me of a side boss that has that one annoying move you can’t block but only evade and is extremely annoying because one punch you loose half if not all health points
@@NROhvac nick. Your accurate ass breakdown let's any REAL fighter know you're in fact a FIGHTER that loves fighting games. Lol I don't even know you and I can tell. Lol
When pro athletes breakdown their sparring like this, it always reminds me of how massive is the gap between us amateurs (even though I've been training for more than 5 years) and them.
Indeed, the skill gap between untrained, hobbyist, amateur and pro is simply staggering. What's crazier is that even among pros there is yet another huge gap between bottom ladder vs top ranked fighters.
@@jayc5248 BJ is notorious for being the most undisciplined prospect in MMA. Him losing to a guy half his size after so many KO losses, it's not surprising. Sad to see rare talent go to waste
Great breakdown, that’s a good example of a big tough dude. It’s not a beautiful technical back and forth but he seems as dangerous as anybody you’ve been up against. Cool vid thanks as always Jeff!
I think the technique is there, just the athleticism/flexibility to employ them isn’t. If that dude lost 20-30lbs and improved his flexibility, I think his technique would show better
Always scary when a big dude rushes toward you and your strikes don't seem to hurt him as much as his would. Great composure, Jeff. Your movements are beautiful!
I've been sparring partners that are about 240+ lbs., one of them working in tactical security, and even though they're thankfully controlled, it is yet another reminder of how much size and strength absolutely matter in a fight, which makes total sense why that line of work employs people of that size; you really wouldn't want to mess with them in real life lol for training purposes, it has taught quite a few things that I am working on, not the least of which is being even more disciplined about my guard and defense, while at the same time biting down and attacking under stress and pressure, a feeling one normally wouldn't get sparring smaller partners as one could get away with a lot more with superior height and reach.
I'm a huge 5'-7" behemoth at 137 lbs! Everyone I sparred or fought was always bigger than me! I never fooled myself into that trap where one thinks that just because you train in various martial arts that you'd beat an average person who had size and weight against you. Just sparring untrained people wakes you up to that reality! They are able to hit you because they're awkward and they hit harder because they aren't as controlled. LOL That's why I also train in edged weapons/force multipliers. Use my speed and foot work (if I had to). But mainly drop the ego and never try and get into dumb situations. Anyway, great vid! Much respect to Jeff n the nimble big guy!
Training with bigger guys will always teach you more than a smaller guy. Training vs smaller guy just feeds your ego because it's so easy to dominate them.
Yeah most definitely. But if you’ve got good wrestling and jujitsu. You can use that against a bigger opponent. But I think with striking a bigger guys gonna have an advantage
I’m 6ft and 265, built quite a bit like this guy and train MT. Don’t see much representation of this body type in MT videos so nice example of what some skill can look like at this size.
When I used to train with Muay Thai atlhetes here on Brazil in King Thai (training center where Amadeu Cristiano came from) my former trainer always saying to me when we used to spar with heavyweight atlhetes : "hit and get out,don't trade"( in brazilian language:"bate e sai,não fica trocando"). Now I know what he was talking about thanks by you Jeff. I have been watching your videos for 3 years,keep it up,U made my sparring sessions better. Be safe,be healthy,wish you the best always!
Man this was really cool to watch. You're both bobbing and weaving fantastically. Both very mobile, both have great endurance. Thanks for sharing with us!
What sucks about being a smaller, shiftier fighter going against a big guy like this is that they start to go harder when they feel they're losing. As the smaller guy, I land alot more of attacks when we're going like 50%, b/c going 50% usually makes the bigger guy even slower, so then they start to get frustrated when they're landing barely anything and you keep touching them up. In an effort to move faster, they throw harder, and at some point there's a threshold where your like, "hey man, don't kill me" 😂.
You make a great point! I worked at a gym for awhile and one of my coworkers(much smaller than me), wanted to do western boxing sparring. Myself being larger and using kickboxing, figured it was a good way to get better at just hands, so i agreed. I feel bad cause when he started landing alot on me, i decided to just march forward(fast), take whatever he did and just nail him. Welllll, he saw that coming. So everytime i got frustrated, he got really evasive. I remember thinking.."wow is it this obvious to him, what im trying to do when i get frustrated 🤔?"
@@manfrombritain6816 I mean I get it, which is why I have to remind them that this light sparring is fake in a way, but it has its uses (combos, movement, range, timing, etc), but it's lacking that real fight contact which changes everything. The second those big dudes start hitting you for real, you realize how fragile you are 😂
In my utmost humble opinion. What I truly appreciate about Jeff’s proficiency, is his ability to adapt accordingly in regards to his opponents, this again is an testament to his overall experience, we can observe the same with other high level practitioners, Saenchai for one ( He usually fights above his weight class). One of the key factors to be able to “Dominate” An larger/ heavier/ stronger opponent is the ability to absorb/ deflect/ redirect the energy, avoiding direct confrontation:going force against force ( As doing so against a stronger individual will indeed be an losing battle) Many south East Asian systems purport/ encourage this, ie: “ You can’t move him? Then move yourself” A good clincher/ grappler utilizes the same tactics, frame/s/ structural sound foundation with sublime tactility/ sensitivity, to find the path of least resistance, andJeff, again, applies and utilizes the aforementioned tactics impeccably. Always an honor to be able to observe and learn from such an peer as yourself Jeff. Sincere regards. Fellow Martial Artist. Tom Framnes. Norway.
Wow awesome video coach! Being a smaller guy myself and having felt what it’s like to engage with bigger dudes, watching this gave me serious anxiety lol, one clean punch controlled or not is dangerous, great job and great video, very much enjoyed it
Ramone has skills and control. Impressive evasion and strikes on your part too! Dodging the numerous strikes in those long combos he threw at you does not look easy.
Just noticed how astoundingly long the bouncer's arms are! Usually, stocky guys also have average/short reaches. I'm built similarly- 70 inches tall, but nearly 75 inches reach. I'm also a little heavy too, often over 200 lbs. It was refreshing for me to see a spar against someone with a build as awkward (in my opinion). Anyway, great video as usual.
As a relatively smaller guy (5'9'' 180lbs) I love sparring against the big boys. It always reminds me not to get too big for my britches. Size does matter. I would have no hope, other than fighting EXTREMELY dirty, against Ramone. As you showed, you could be great and dodge 20 punches, and hit with 20, but one from him will equal 20 of ours lol. We have a big guy at our dojo. 6'2'' 260lbs, and when he charges forward, I still get a big scared lol. I have to check his knees or dodge and parry around his backside fast or its over. Great vid as usual Jeff, great to see you back at the JKD school.
It’s rare when a smaller dude can hold his own against a heavyweight, and if they do hold their own it’s because their power is unreal for their size. Canelo is a good example of a small guy who went up too much in weight and tried to overachieve. (Respect to canelo) but size definitely matters
This is a great example of what is sometimes required in terms of opponent and intensity, for a quality and rigerous pressure test. Also, it reveals the reality of why we have weight classes in open-trade sports (boxing, mma, etc). Coming from a martial arts background, its exactly this sort of environment and opponent that reveals the challenges that self-defense, "technique based" systems must necissarily come up against when it comes to effective application of skill in extremis. Despite the training, experience, cardio, strength, speed, etc that Jeff has learned and earned...a bigger opponent is more than just a bigger target. When technique levels are closer to similar, there's not a huge reduction in somebodies quickness and reaction speed despite the very real increase in muscle and nerve fiber, bone density, and sheer mass...so no matter what eight winds fist you might practice or whatever dojang guru you learned froms' lineage...its gonna take more than what you might have in terms of literal physical characteristics to overcome. not to say that that their arent any. all this to say that technique and skill are not levels to be matched against physical characteristics directly; but multiplying factors for them running along fine lines of deliniation. Os, Jeff.
Hey Jeff, love your channel! Great breakdown, very helpful for me as I’m usually the smaller guy. I have a question about your head movement. I see you lean over your waist when dipping. I see a lot of boxers do that too, but I was taught never to do that in Muay Thai because you can eat knees and kicks from there. How do you dip like that while still evading kicks and knees?
loved the video, cheers Jeff. This opponent had a presence of 'real' and dangerous. Great to see sparring between different body types/weights. Envy both fighters' skills
When i was a teenager for the past 10 years i thought kung fu is the best, BUT After i become an adult I'm interested in the Mixed Martial Arts as the most realistic and dynamic form of fighting. Thanks for the learning you share with us sir 👍
I mean if he is fighting someone his size then yeah, but most of the time he probably can just eat the punch, while you are open and counter and you'll be the one KTFO
For sure he moves well he’s explosive, he’ll demolish 99 percent plus of people out there. However he can def up his game by adding some versatility. My bro is 6’3 250, ex college football player and thought he would come in and crush everyone by rushing with straight punches. He got humbled to say the least.
Subbed! As an ex amateur boxer I want to comend you on the breakdowns but even more for your respect for your opponent and humbleness that only a true fighteer has (not always obviously).
Nice 👍 I remember training 15 20 years ago in a Muay Thai gym and even the big guys who some had no technique but they're so much mass behind a kick or a punch that s*** would rock ya like a tree trunk falling on you.
When someone blast forward like that, is sidestepping around him not a better option? Fx stepping to his right or left with your whole body. Forcing him to stop going forward. Especially when he gains momentum it's hard to stop that and just turn to his side where you are now. It could create some new openings to explore. Do it again and again when needed. Either right away or Evade backwards in the beginning and suddenly move around him. There are many ways to do it right, even while striking etc. There is also many ways to screw this up so be careful. I mean sidestepping about or under 90 degrees according to his forward line, perhaps under his strike and small cirkel around him sharply. Just an idea for more counter options against the forward barrage of punches😊. His rear leg is the easiest side to get around him. Bc when he steps with that leg it's harder to get around.
Yeah you got the right idea it’s just hard to do that in the moment especially if your trying to slip punches like Jeff is cause your planting your feet when you slip. That’s why when a guy is moving his head a lot you can usually hit the body pretty’s easily.
Great stuff, as always. It's amazing how weight plays such a crucial role. You are obviously more skilled, but if he decided to go full power, that would be it. You can't "block" strikes with such power/weight behind them....a guy his size cracked my ribs with a body shot during sparring and I had actually blocked by tucking my elbow to my hip...still, the force was enough to cause damage.
@@NYMartialArtsAcademy Yeah, but Jeff couldn't inflict the damage this guy could have inflicted if they went full contact. Weight divisions exist for a reason. For example a normal sized 13 year old, couldn't really knock you out, no matter how fast and skilled they are. I have sparred big guys - leg kicks don't even register, and yes, you could KO them (in theory) if you caught their chin the right way, but it is most likely they will destroy you first before you get the opportunity to do so. Realistically, you could only dominate them on the ground and go for a good choke (as the dynamics change and they can't hit you as easily) but still, it's highly unlikely...
@@panostsak Not necessarily. You have sparred big guys as we all have, but you're not Jeff,. In an actual fight (either street or professional fight) people will do things different than in sparring. I've sparred smaller faster guys that dont hurt me in sparring, but in a real fight at full speed, full force, it takes just one shot to shut out the lights. Dont think that Jeff isnt holding back too here. What makes these sparring rounds so interesting is how talented and skilled Ramone is WITH his size.
We’re super excited to have Jeff starting with us July 1st. He’s coming for a quick trip June 15-18 to meet the students. We’re very excited to have Jeff teach his tricks and tactics.
@@NYMartialArtsAcademy he quickly understood his opponent and he disturbed Jeff a lot by pressuring him . Jeff lost his ability to compose . We can clearly see that this guy know how to fight even with a superior technical opponent . I guess he got a street fight sight IQ
Man i am shocked at how size neutralizes skill at some point, The largest guys i have sparred thus far are 300-315 pounds, thing is these guys only had good boxing and one had boxing+Bjj down, thing is i have a ton of tactics with big men that i always employ and they work like a system so i was shocked to see you struggling here like legit. Someday i'll meet a 280 pound beast like this guy too though so i will be ready just for incase great vid man.
The big guy is talented and very heavy handed and fast…..your footwork movement timing and range distance was great….you are also very composed and tough 👍
I had a training partner that size that was a lineman in Alabama on a full ride in the early 00's! He too was a bouncer. MMA was still developing, and I was never as good as you, but it was eye opening! Dude's half-hearted jab was like a committed cross from a lot of guys my weight (145lbs fighting and 155 walking around), the difference in our left hooks was hilarious... I could use kick boxing to hold him off for a while. Then, inevitably, I'd wear out.... I wasn't in your shape though; I could make two or three, 2 -3 minute rounds, before he could just run me over and I couldn't avoid his shots or sweeps well enough to be worth while. I'd beg to work with guys closer to my size then... 😆 Off camera, did he try to grapple and ground and pound you more? I know his instructors didn't want him screwing up their seminar, but you have way more skill than I had-- I'd love to see how that would go!
Strength is very important - especially in a street fight. So yes, lifting more weight makes you a better fighter. Ramsey Dewey spoke about it in his videos a lot.
@@khonyeleaglefergumedov9175 no, I exactly have said, that even without martial arts training a person, who lifts a lot, is going to be far more dangerous in a street fight, that a person without training both. Sometimes even a very strong person can challenge a martial artist in a street fight, but of course there are levels.
I'm a big (old) guy who now trains mainly in boxing and I must say Ramone is rather scary 😟🤗 A big man that has some agility and knowlege/experience. I like the point where you mention being patient and waiting for a punch. That's when I feel most confident and in control of a fight. Calm down, relax and see what's coming. You gotta have something to work with before you know what you're up against, and usually where there is a punch there is also an opening for a counter.
Nice one enjoyed this great to watch with the breakdown you wouldn’t wanna be getting caught from one of those full power! Great example for us amateurs. 💪🏻
Great video man! Keep it up! Awesome as always! Good Stuff! I Love You! Great Content! Love what you're doing! Keep up the good work man! Keep going bro this is such awesome content! Awesome stuff as usual! Awesome video brother! I love you
These kind of videos are my inspiration to keep me going! It sure ain't easy for me at 5'11 245 pounds, but guys like Ramon at 280 pounds make it look easy and that gives me strength.
Great video. You were in control of the Boxing round, slipping most of his shots and landing a lot of your own. The Muay Thai round looked a lot closer. For such a big guy, he has fantastic movement and stamina.
Well done Jeff. Teeping constantly on a guy that runs in always works as well as the peek a boo (tyson) method. Appreciate that you are so honest about your videos no ego there. Great work.
Awesome video Jeff, as always. I noticed you mentioned you were putting on a seminar for this club, and I'd be curious to know what you typically charge to put one on? I own a small club in Edmonton, and I'd love to see if there might be a fit there one of these days. 👍
I am VERY impressed with the utterly different look, feel, and utility of this kind of production. Fuckin' A!! ✅✅✅ MARVELOUS content, brotha - 👏 - you just got another one. Will continue to tune in now... 👍👍👍
Fighting smart and humble big guys is the best. My cousin and I used to spar in boxing and he had about 3 inches and 100-120 pounds on me. I had a lot more experience but despite this he was still able to demonstrate restraint and it was a great learning experience.
This dude is a UNIT! I'd imagine with a little more time and technical work, he'd take that size and natural durability into a seriously dangerous set of skills. Cheers, Jeff!

Big guy knows his stuff. A regular guy may not be able to hit him easily
For sure he moves well he’s explosive, he’ll demolish 99 percent plus of people out there. However he can def up his game by adding some versatility.
My bro is 6’3 250, ex college football player and thought he would come in and crush everyone by rushing with straight punches. He got humbled to say the least.
Subbed! As an ex amateur boxer I want to comend you on the breakdowns but even more for your respect for your opponent and humbleness that only a true fighteer has (not always obviously).
thank you!
Your breakdowns are legendary.
Many times, we don't have the opportunity of perspective
thank you brother!!
Yup.
Nice 👍 I remember training 15 20 years ago in a Muay Thai gym and even the big guys who some had no technique but they're so much mass behind a kick or a punch that s*** would rock ya like a tree trunk falling on you.
haha cheers!
When someone blast forward like that, is sidestepping around him not a better option? Fx stepping to his right or left with your whole body. Forcing him to stop going forward. Especially when he gains momentum it's hard to stop that and just turn to his side where you are now. It could create some new openings to explore. Do it again and again when needed. Either right away or Evade backwards in the beginning and suddenly move around him. There are many ways to do it right, even while striking etc. There is also many ways to screw this up so be careful. I mean sidestepping about or under 90 degrees according to his forward line, perhaps under his strike and small cirkel around him sharply. Just an idea for more counter options against the forward barrage of punches😊. His rear leg is the easiest side to get around him. Bc when he steps with that leg it's harder to get around.
Yeah you got the right idea it’s just hard to do that in the moment especially if your trying to slip punches like Jeff is cause your planting your feet when you slip. That’s why when a guy is moving his head a lot you can usually hit the body pretty’s easily.
OR......as soon as he rushes forward you can stop him dead in his tracks with a sidekick to the face 🤷. I've ended fights like this
@@JNIGHTification 2 things. First, not as easy you make it sound, 2nd you land a big head kick and its gym war
@@cameronpenoyer3242 That dude has never fought lmao. Doesn't even know the first thing about sparring.
When someone blasts like that with chin high in the air, hands low that is easy KO. You just wait for him and counter with big right hand.
always love seeing watching and learning new things from you and props to big man both did well
Thank you!
thank you!
I love these sparring breakdowns
thanks man!!
Great stuff, as always. It's amazing how weight plays such a crucial role. You are obviously more skilled, but if he decided to go full power, that would be it. You can't "block" strikes with such power/weight behind them....a guy his size cracked my ribs with a body shot during sparring and I had actually blocked by tucking my elbow to my hip...still, the force was enough to cause damage.
haha yeah !!!
Size matters but speed kills too. Jeff’s very dangerous as well.
The best thing is to have both size and good speed.
@@NYMartialArtsAcademy Yeah, but Jeff couldn't inflict the damage this guy could have inflicted if they went full contact. Weight divisions exist for a reason. For example a normal sized 13 year old, couldn't really knock you out, no matter how fast and skilled they are. I have sparred big guys - leg kicks don't even register, and yes, you could KO them (in theory) if you caught their chin the right way, but it is most likely they will destroy you first before you get the opportunity to do so. Realistically, you could only dominate them on the ground and go for a good choke (as the dynamics change and they can't hit you as easily) but still, it's highly unlikely...
@@panostsak Not necessarily. You have sparred big guys as we all have, but you're not Jeff,. In an actual fight (either street or professional fight) people will do things different than in sparring. I've sparred smaller faster guys that dont hurt me in sparring, but in a real fight at full speed, full force, it takes just one shot to shut out the lights. Dont think that Jeff isnt holding back too here. What makes these sparring rounds so interesting is how talented and skilled Ramone is WITH his size.
The big guy has amazing cardio for his size!
Yup, Ramon is a freak
yeah!!
this was awesome, nice editing and breakdown, subscribing
thank you!!
Great sparring and congratulations on moving to NY. Hope we'll be able to see more footage with these guys around.
We’re super excited to have Jeff starting with us July 1st. He’s coming for a quick trip June 15-18 to meet the students. We’re very excited to have Jeff teach his tricks and tactics.
thank you so much!!
The rythm of the big dude is a reason of why he's so effective
Yes, Ramon is a smart fighter who uses broken rhythm, speed and power to his advantage.
@@NYMartialArtsAcademy he quickly understood his opponent and he disturbed Jeff a lot by pressuring him . Jeff lost his ability to compose . We can clearly see that this guy know how to fight even with a superior technical opponent . I guess he got a street fight sight IQ
cheers!
Man i am shocked at how size neutralizes skill at some point, The largest guys i have sparred thus far are 300-315 pounds, thing is these guys only had good boxing and one had boxing+Bjj down, thing is i have a ton of tactics with big men that i always employ and they work like a system so i was shocked to see you struggling here like legit. Someday i'll meet a 280 pound beast like this guy too though so i will be ready just for incase great vid man.
thanks for watching man!
Them heavyweights are no joke man😂
Epic Brother!!🙂🙏
Thankyou so much for sharing the knowledge.
Cheers!
Great job managing the space and picking your shots!
thanks!!
great video my dude...props to your opponent he has great cardio for someone his size...👍🏻
yeah!! hes amazing!!
Yes and since this video he has lost 15-20lbs. He jogs and trains. We’re proud of his progress
Bouncers have one speed and it’s called “ full force all the time” lol
This was Ramon going easy
@@NYMartialArtsAcademy Ramons a beast at fighting , i have a friend who used to be a bouncer , he’s a beast as well, it must be in there blood
@@oldschoolmuzzey 💪💪
@@NYMartialArtsAcademy i subbed to your channel , i have trained a little in Jun fan jeet kune do . cool stuff on your channel🙏🏽🥸
@@oldschoolmuzzey Thank you very much!
The big guy is talented and very heavy handed and fast…..your footwork movement timing and range distance was great….you are also very composed and tough 👍
its always great to see sparring with active resistance from the opponent because its much more effectively applied to real life situations.
4:04 There was an opportunity for a knee right there Champ!
The Bouncer was actually really fast at regrouping / countering. I kept being surprised at how often he matched Jeff step for step.
yeah he is so fast!!
Dude's probably good at his job then
@@Lorendrawn oh yeah. Works best clubs in NYC
@@MMAShredded Lol big mamajamma can move.
Thanks 🙏
So respectful. Very nice to see!
cheers!
You are the man, incredible job on your part! How do you even fight a monster like that?!! Wicked job steering clear of those massive arms!
thanks for watching!!
I had a training partner that size that was a lineman in Alabama on a full ride in the early 00's! He too was a bouncer. MMA was still developing, and I was never as good as you, but it was eye opening!
Dude's half-hearted jab was like a committed cross from a lot of guys my weight (145lbs fighting and 155 walking around), the difference in our left hooks was hilarious... I could use kick boxing to hold him off for a while. Then, inevitably, I'd wear out....
I wasn't in your shape though; I could make two or three, 2 -3 minute rounds, before he could just run me over and I couldn't avoid his shots or sweeps well enough to be worth while. I'd beg to work with guys closer to my size then... 😆
Off camera, did he try to grapple and ground and pound you more? I know his instructors didn't want him screwing up their seminar, but you have way more skill than I had-- I'd love to see how that would go!
haha no he was a very nice guy!
that was a trained bouncer, and some guys act like lifting more weight can make them fight better lol
cheers!
Strength is very important - especially in a street fight. So yes, lifting more weight makes you a better fighter. Ramsey Dewey spoke about it in his videos a lot.
@@smokinjoe1264 lol, you miss the point, i said without training lifting weight will not get you better at fighting than shitting in a toilet
@@khonyeleaglefergumedov9175 no, I exactly have said, that even without martial arts training a person, who lifts a lot, is going to be far more dangerous in a street fight, that a person without training both. Sometimes even a very strong person can challenge a martial artist in a street fight, but of course there are levels.
Amazing Jeff , you are an inspiration brother! ♥
thanks bro!!
I'm a big (old) guy who now trains mainly in boxing and I must say Ramone is rather scary 😟🤗 A big man that has some agility and knowlege/experience.
I like the point where you mention being patient and waiting for a punch. That's when I feel most confident and in control of a fight. Calm down, relax and see what's coming. You gotta have something to work with before you know what you're up against, and usually where there is a punch there is also an opening for a counter.
thanks for watching!!
Usually big guys can't really fight.
But if you meet a big guy who can fight as well (like this one), you are f**ed... :S :D
he is dangerous af!!!
Yup
Yo, this content is Gold. Thanks Man
thanks!
Love how technical all your videos are 👀🔥
thank you!!
Yup Jeff’s breakdowns are my fav.
ey my boy ramon going at it lol, these spars def lookin fun
cheers!
I appreciate your humility, Jeff.
thanks man!!
Ramone has the goods to take care of business , sir you have the elusiveness like mayweather . Great vid. Thanks for sharing.
Great sparring Ramon is in great shape
Nice one enjoyed this great to watch with the breakdown you wouldn’t wanna be getting caught from one of those full power! Great example for us amateurs. 💪🏻
thanks for watching!
Great video man! Keep it up! Awesome as always! Good Stuff! I Love You! Great Content! Love what you're doing! Keep up the good work man! Keep going bro this is such awesome content! Awesome stuff as usual! Awesome video brother! I love you
Man you are a ballerina out there. Love the head movement and footwork
thank you!!
Once again great breakdown if you have time keep sparring with this team for other videos!
wil do :)
Haha yup.
Great breakdown.....and I love your use of evasion and head movement against him.
thank you!!
Yup high level. Jeff is very very talented skilled and obv works hard.
great range control and evasion from both of you!
thanks for watching!
really great stuff to watch and learn from - great commentary.
cheers!!
i love these breakdowns please do more
thank you!
These kind of videos are my inspiration to keep me going! It sure ain't easy for me at 5'11 245 pounds, but guys like Ramon at 280 pounds make it look easy and that gives me strength.
cheers!
Love these vids
thanks!!
Great video. You were in control of the Boxing round, slipping most of his shots and landing a lot of your own. The Muay Thai round looked a lot closer. For such a big guy, he has fantastic movement and stamina.
Ramon was a football player in college and is currently a stunt man in some very well known productions, especially one of Jeff’s favorite, Power.
thanks man!
Well done Jeff. Teeping constantly on a guy that runs in always works as well as the peek a boo (tyson) method. Appreciate that you are so honest about your videos no ego there. Great work.
👍
thanks man!
@@MMAShredded you're welcome
Amazing to see a healthy sparring session!
cheers!
Really enjoyed that clip JC keep up the good work
👍💪👌
thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Give you & big man props. He's got impressive stamina and deceptively quick. Your footwork is excellent & have great technique.
Thanks for watching !
The big guy moves very well for his size and it is nice to see a bouncer who still keeps himself fit and trained.
cheers!
Awesome video Jeff, as always. I noticed you mentioned you were putting on a seminar for this club, and I'd be curious to know what you typically charge to put one on? I own a small club in Edmonton, and I'd love to see if there might be a fit there one of these days. 👍
hey brother, yes id love to one day. We can talk more via email at jeff@mmashredded.com!
Nice~! I am receiving good energy to exercise. Thank you for today's video.
thanks for watching!
this my top 5 fav sparring vid of you
I appreciate the feedback!!
Didn’t used to be your biggest fan, but wow, you have grown, great spar👍🙏
thanks lol
Really interesting sparring session. The weight difference really exposes something we should know about.
thanks for watching!
Really insightful and really engaging. Thank you
thanks for watching!
your videos are just getting more and more creative and varied. Thank you so much!
thanks man!!!
Wait till you meet the rest of us haha
Hell yeah bro! My guy Jeff will go with anyone 🤘 looking smooth bro 🤙
thanks bro!
I am VERY impressed with the utterly different look, feel, and utility of this kind of production. Fuckin' A!! ✅✅✅
MARVELOUS content, brotha - 👏 - you just got another one.
Will continue to tune in now... 👍👍👍
thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching you spar with all the different types of people that you do. Usually they are bigger than you from what I see. You sir are a badass
thank you brother!!
Jeff is down to scrap. Did 40 rounds in 2 days. Respect 💪👌💯❤️🥊👍
Very nice. That guy is real quick for a huge dude and has great skills. That's an opponent!
Fighting smart and humble big guys is the best. My cousin and I used to spar in boxing and he had about 3 inches and 100-120 pounds on me. I had a lot more experience but despite this he was still able to demonstrate restraint and it was a great learning experience.
Wow he’s a fast and accurate fighter. Gj to you both
cheers!
Jeff!!! You dont do boring videos🤣 Another great job!
👍
thank you!!
Great sparring! 🔥💯🤙🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
Thx!
Good sparring. Ramoan seems like such a nice guy lol
This dude is a UNIT! I'd imagine with a little more time and technical work, he'd take that size and natural durability into a seriously dangerous set of skills. Cheers, Jeff!
thanks for watching!!
