PJ is great in every video. I'd love to see you do more boxing videos, maybe "Fight Like" videos for boxing's P4P fighters right now. All your content is great, you're part of the reason I took up boxing!

#4 was awesome, i don't think i've ever seen that taught! I'm gonna try using that in training/sparring

[liveultra]

Great tips! It's so much practice trying to make these second nature! Really takes time and experience sparring.

The way you slip at 1:11 is so good. Holy shit. I love this channel

[henrydippnall]

I like that gait block, definitely will help being more unpredictable with countering. Could you do a video on how to defend/counter against an opponent who flurries or chains in long combinations?
Thank you!

[rudsn]

Very accurate and well executed ways to defend right hand punches! If you are in a tough situation on the street is the helmet guard. If you are good at it you can smash your attackers hand with your elbow. Have a great day Shane!

[rickystoner]

I love how the poeple in the comments (aka the underdogs) are coming together and helping those how are just starting. Like seriously Sheen you have the best YouTube fam💪🔥☝

[rejwanhussain]

I respect coach PJ for selling your punches so well... 😅

Suggestion for a video: how to defend against a stomp/oblique kick?

[knuckle-sandwichmma]

pull is a good defense against the right hand cause you can see it coming but remember guys. its very likely that your opponents continues with the left hook. it doesnt have to land. Kind of like Aldo went against Conor. the left hand most likely lands on the shoulder but more importantly he is leaning to his right moving with your right hand so it doesnt have to do much damage if you target the chin. I recommend you target behind the ear if you have really good accuracy. dont close your eyes and watch your target guys, good luck. good video Shane

[pinesol]

Hey Shane! I was wondering if you have a video, or if you can make a video of how to defend against people who swing fast. I see this in so many street fights and I was wondering if you knew or have gotten asked this before. It would be much appreciated if I got a reply.
Keep up the great work!

[Deftonedd]

Could you do a video on Muay Thai defence ? Using long guard, checking kicks and defence against uppercuts and overhands- I always feel open to those shots

[tszszob]

Shane we trained that pull thing today in my kickboxing lessons😀

[johnreed]
