4:11 (in regards to the uppercut) "it's just to lift our opponents head up, then follow up with more punches"

Unless you're Francis Ngannou, it's used to lift your opponent's head OFF.

for all of the people who is hesitating and thinking "I'm way past beginner level" you are very wrong! I'm an advanced fighter still I learned a lot watching this quick video! don't let your guard down and keep up the hard work, just because you pass a level doesn't mean you are done training that in this level or those basics!

This is probably the best time for you to post a video like this.
You recently announced your gloves, you built your fan base fairly high, and you don't have dreads

I’m 30 and I finally beat up that 4th grader that’s been bullying me, thanks 😄

Hey Shane. I Know You Probably Don’t See This Video Much Anymore But I Learned From This Video And As I Am Now A Coach I’m Listening Back To This And Realize Everything You Taught Me I Almost Verbatim Teach Back Without Even Realizing I Was! Thank You So Much For The Awesome Insight For When I Needed This.

Thank you for this. I'm an old lady that just came back from checking-out a MMA lesson and found it to be tons of fun. This will help me practice a bit before the second lesson so I look like I know what I'm doing - besides the old lady karate I already do. The forward kicks are just like "magheri" so at least I won't be a total noob. I subscribed and am looking forward to lesson 2! Ciao from Italy, L

This is by far the best beginners MMA video on the internet period.

This made me start my journey on the MMA path. Since I have 0 regular access to MMA gyms (due to living in bumfuck nowhere), I decided to get the main techniques down on my own. This video is what I'm basing my foundation on. Since I also seem to have 0 training equipment whatsoever (due to being more broke than a glass vase that fell off of mount everest), I will be trying to make my own and focus on shadowboxing in front of a big mirror.

Thank you for making this video. I have no doubt that this video made many others start their journey. Keep making these basics videos.

FightTips is the best channel for learning combat sports as a begginner

brain: *ahem* "may I introduce you to the wonderful world that is YouTube"
