  • If you defend punches today the same way you did as a beginner, something is wrong!
    Here are some tips from Sensei Alec Rains of The Mat Martial Arts in Austin, Texas to help you defend against punches more efficiently and effectively.

    • How to Block and Dodge...
    According to Sensei Alec, the biggest mistake new students make when defending against punches is doing TOO MUCH! The fear of getting hit causes beginners to swat at the bad guy and push his arms away as far as possible.
    The problem with such big, gross motor movements is recovery time!
    When you commit yourself to a big push or deflection, you not only risk throwing yourself off-balance, you also require more time to flow into your counter or escape.
    The trick to more effective punch defense is to only move as far as you NEED to move. Yes, that might even mean letting the punch brush up right against you!
    To accomplish that, you must train to feel comfortable standing in the pocket. Jumping back or bobbing and weaving when you don't need to only wastes energy and takes you out of position to punch back.
    One drill to become more efficient and effective when defending against punches is to ask a partner to throw some strikes at you. Focus on breathing continuously... seeing what's coming... and relaxing as much as possible.
    You can use your hands or arms to manage the punches, but think of them only as training wheels. Don't think about pushing the punches away, think about getting your head and body out of the line of fire.
    When your defense is efficient, your counters and escapes will be more effective-- simple as that. So, grab a partner and start off slow. Build up your confidence in the face of being punched and see how little you can do to stay safe!

    How to stop an attacker:
    Step 1: Reach back
    Step 2: Put your arm in your pocket and try to bluff and make it like your pulling out a weapon
    Step 3: If they don't believe it. Take out your Magnum and shoot.
    Step 4: Profit.

    I did a lot of full contact fighting 20 years ago. When people ask me how do I get to be so fast with my hands for blocking I told them the truth, that I got tired of getting hit all the time. Every thing said in this video is correct but you also have to know what it’s like to get hit. For me, it was a combination of forms, understanding blocking principles like in this video and getting clobbered that helped me.

    Being calm and working your skeletal structure like a carousel is definitely the key. Doing less and what you need to do is how to prevail and thats how i prevailed.

    Excellent video, thank you both (howdy Sensei Alec!)
    I got a whole lot out of this one (I think, anyway 😄). Reminds me of the old quote "Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn the Way, then find your own way." So here's some lessons I pulled from this: Fine motor skills become more natural in a state of comfort over time (confidence through repetition and experience ); When you forego your wants and attend to your needs, self defense becomes simplified and energy flows more fluid (less effort more effectiveness). Wants and needs are akin to being, respectively, emotionally reactive vs. intellectually responsive.
    I really like (paraphrasing) be comfortable here, with less panic you will breathe, see and feel better what's going on, the clarity of your "needs" are made manifest in the moment, so comfort equates to self-trust...but beware of the ego (Fight your ego!). I hope I'm not taking liberties in interpreting this lesson; If I am misunderstanding I apologize and invite your correction.
    Thank you for another great video! 🙏

      Actually a solid point. From what I've seen of boxers, they like to keep their elbows glued to their ribcage and their punches short and to the point. They don't leave room for misdirection.

    • @nelsonglinton
      @nelsonglinton Před 4 lety +5

      @@awoovement This is why it is important to practice the art of rhythm against a trained boxer. If you've watched a lot of boxing fights then you'll know that one of the ways boxer can win a fight is by changing their rhythm of attack. So rhythm and timing goes hand in hand in my opinion. Defense also has a lot to do with where your body's position and feet are at the moment. Certain types of defensive maneuvers won't work in certain positions. If you train the art of redirection while keeping these things in mind and also spar often with trained boxers, kickboxers and mixed martial artist then it can be effective. If you're thinking that the art of redirection is ineffective then you can watch clips of it working in MMA or do whatever you believe is effecient for proper defense as an alternative.

    It brings up some interesting points. I look at it in terms of weapon work; sometimes you need to use Karambit skill, or subtlety. But sometimes you need Claymore skill, large penetrating power that decimates an opponent. In conditioning, I train Claymore skill. In technique I train Karambit skill. Oil and water may not combine, but you need them both to make a good spaghetti.

    Very well demonstrated. Back in my high school days I had an encounter with a person that felt that he was going to kick my ass.
    I just ignored him. He wasn't worth the sweat off my brow. Well..it happened. My rule is anyone invade my space that includes leg kicking distance is aggressive. He found out the hard way..He threw a punch, I blocked it, stepped in and caught him on the chin with my elbow. Fight was pretty much over. He got back up..punch drunk, and came at me again flailing his arms, I stepped to the side and he tripped. Head first into the dirt. Then the fight was over. He wanted no more.

    Fighting tips:
    -If your bully has you pinned up against the wall and is strangling you, keep on kicking them until they stop
    -If you have sharp nails, scratch them.
    -Kick them on their private parts
    -Hit them with hard objects like text books
    -If they throw a punch, grab their arm and twist it as hard as possible.
    -Punch them in their stomach
    -Kick their joints

    Hello Sensei Ando. I'm a big fan of Martial Arts and I just recently found your channel (and your very insightful podcast). Subscribed! But what I really wanted to know - speaking of not getting hit - is how to effectively dodge attacks. I've been training Muay Thai and dodging seems to never get easier. I mean, throwing punches is so natural, but thinking quick enough to evaluate the speed, direction and trajectory of your opponent's attacks is so difficult! Could you give me your opinion on how to actually get better at dodging? Thank you so much!

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  Před 6 lety +7

      Hi Matheus! Thanks for the kind words. And glad you found the podcast! 👍🏼 Be sure to check out the other video I mentioned in this video... I talk more about dodging in that one. The answer boils down to experience. It’s also important to LEAD your opponent into doing what you want. Giving them the freedom to do whatever they want will make defense very difficult. Control the ring!

    I still prefer not using the opposite hand to block. I did learn this technique early on, but it's better to use the same arm they use, and cross under your other arm to grab the elbow, then pull them forward. You can then throw them to the ground or use that momentum to strike. Maybe it hard to explain, but it puts them off center allowing you many other options. When they strick with their left arm, you block with your left and use your right arm under and around and up to grab their elbow. You can then pull them closer and then use your other arm and step in to put them on the ground or strike, you're choice.
    I hope this makes sense, I don't have someone to do a video with.

    You say let the shoulders do the motion for you, but I say let the shoulders do the motion & bashing simultaneously on your opponent with your shoulders in rotation on creation of developing centrifugal force from one angle to another. I do remember I wrote to you to follow thru my demonstrations of this a long time ago I am only so glad to see you doing so! You should also take care to use my back hand hand grenade exploding into or onto your opponents head & body with snap crackle pop action. And by the way I'd always been the one to say it's better to fight smarter & not harder Than it is to fight on hustle/ muscle! I'm 64 but I'm still able to close the other guy's door! L.O.L Anyway I also developed my own way how to defeat the hands & feet with my own technique. I teach the rodeo bronco buckaroo bag training workout &, the arm lift under over loop smack n whack, sword/arm fighting & fencing skills, how to fight in & around /not in & out like hopalong cassidy or be a bouncing Betty sissy & how to slip n slide in & around not in & out till i'm wore out & or become myself un-anchored or off balance You don't come tipsy toeing in like a ballerina or & bouncing Betty. But you must alway's keep your arms in tight to yourself, cress crossing them back n forth, to twist, spin, jerk, grab n toss. just smash n bash bucking up & down moving in & around while hitting him with your ass, back hips, elbows & shoulders using the back hand hand grenades. Stop running & keep fighting by eliminating his efforts of deciding what he's going to do next. In other words' stop playing his game & fight your own game! Take no shame or blame but leave him in pain! Actually this style can leave you smile as it gives you the advantage to fight in close contact & still not be took back or be it necessary to severely hurt or damage him seriously to injure your opponent if say you don't need or want to destroy him/her but still be it kept easily protective of yourself. On the most part It's kinda like sword fighting, or rodeo bronco buckaroo where you convert yourself into a wild bull stomping mad & bucking him off of you. It just takes redundant practice to develop the right habits & then you'll easily have it! Practice it slow & easy as you go for the power & speed will just come naturally & easily. Only remember a habit is a habit that once you develop it 'you will definitely be stuck to it. develop only the right habits & avoid developing unnecessary bad habits as not be needed! & alway's remember the power & speed will come with it faster than if you rush it for haste only makes waste! Just slow down, take your time & understand your body is like that of a machine that has only so much wear & tear before you lose a gear or two & then your done & thru! Just keep tuned up & know your stuff!, It can & most often will carry you through. I am Sting em dead Dave Overbey & if desired' You can watch me on CZcams' by just typing in only my name.Dave Overbey I am also a good man to keep on hand, Dave the handyman home repair guy w/ doing home rehabs.

    I heard red makes you more attentive, which maybe is why boxing gloves are usually red. but in a real fight you may not have that luxury.
    What do you guys think? maybe the gear as well maybe one of these newbies mistakes. (i'm not talking about changing the design, obviously they're made for a purpose, but rather the color to make it as skin like as possible)
