As someone that just got back into sparring, and also just got punched in the face a few dozen times as a result, I can't wait to practice these methods this week!

We appreciate your time and efforts Jeff

1- after being comfortable with block, block/parry opponent's first punch, after making contact slip/duck etc.
2- move your head after every punch by slips/leanback/rolling etc.
3- maintain outside distance so you can read punches better.

This was the most informative 4 minutes worth of defense instruction I’ve ever seen. Amazing.

excellent Jeff i am in a senior MMA class my partner is 82, we are playful in our sparring. Playfulness helps us loosen up and move the head more. Thanks!

I am kickboxing for many years now and I mostly spar. This channel provides solid advice.

The hand touching sensitivity is also a fencing principle you can feel where the pressure of the blade is to see where they try to disengage and thrust or feint.

You're the best Jeff. I take these to my 1:1 MMA coaching and outline what I want to work on. Your head work and foot work are so fluid.

[ijinchan]

Im a young kickboxer and jiu jitsu practioner. I have been watching your videos for a while and your content is amazing. What should I do to become better? What excersies should i do in the weight room? Im not trying to compete but just to have fun sparring and learning to defend myself.
