I wonder what PJ looks like when he's sleeping. He's probably shuffling around the same way he is here.

Love how during the demos you guys always finish the moveset even while explaining. We get see the total outcome and learn from potential mistakes and well as successes. Thanks for this

i like how he never stops dancing around

I want to start off saying thank you Shane!! Your videos have helped me improve my boxing skills at my boxing club at university and I’m now able to spar against people above my weight class and teach beginners, so thank you for that!! Also, I was gonna post on your next video to say “Shane, could you do a video on countering different punches?” And yet here is a video for jab! Hopefully there will be a video for other punches and their variations!! Cheers Shane, stay safe underdog!!

You are what you train. You must go beyond basics. Who ever controls space controls the fight. That involves footwork.

Great video Shane. I always seem to learn new techniques every time I watch one of your videos. Your boxing is something to look up to. Having only 10 months of boxing training, I feel that attaining your level of skill and technique is leagues away. Thanks for being an inspiration with your videos. You are truly the best martial arts channel on Youtube! An all around badass.

Best video in a long time - this can be used by everyone. Very fundamental but instant usability!

[anonymousphantom]

Have you done any videos on how to defend against take downs? If not can you make one? It will be really helpful if you do

[phoenixbarnes]

The pull back is one of my favorites. And the gloves look sick. So uhhh yeah...hintity hint hint.

[derekobrien]

Another short great video of proven techniques. Well done as always Shane. Since I've been watching your videos my fight IQ has really gone up. I attribute that to your style of teaching. Quick, direct and to the point. I find after watching I have been able to incorporate things I've learned from your short videos into my workout and training. I enjoyed your exhibition fight the other night I know it was a exhibition and you both did a great job for a important and close to home cause. I loved the wall kick you did in, I believe the first round. Great exhibition.

Shane don't forget the slip into the "jab/uppercut" or corkscrew uppercut characteristic from Prince Naseem Hamed. Great content, keep it up

PJ near the end looks likes he is doing sign language for the deaf audience members

You should do a series where you watch your fans work into their bag or shadow box for a couple minutes and react by pointing out mistakes they could be making. I think it would be a great way to interact with your fans, and be a better coach at the same time. Many of us may be making mistakes that you haven't covered in one of your videos, and be suffering for it as well.

"Tell Jose I'm coming" - Shane Fazen

[vatop]

Hey Shane your parry doesnt need to drop that low, try more like giving a high five aiming downward to the incoming jab. So it doesn't leave your left side exposed so much.

I do that a lot in my sparring following it up with a rear right, almost simultaneously.

[cau]

Great vid as usual ! ...Parry always work for me :)

[anonymous_]

Parry is very effective.And important.

[bantalope]

Shane you should do a video on every martial art you ever trained in and in what order
