I remember when Shane had dreads and I thought he was some hippy when I first came across his channel. But now watching his videos for about over 2 years now, he’s actually a decent dude and has actually helped me a lot in some drills, fight approach and lifestyle/fight tips. What I think is the best about Shane is that he doesn’t waste my time which is very important. He’s super straight to the point and the things that he says are true (not some joke) and you can tell because he’s so dedicated in fighting. Hoping big things for you bro👍honestly, you’re amazing, I have not came across a YouTuber like you. You’re not even a YouTuber, you’re like a mentor or a really friendly fighting guide book, lol. You’re probably not reading this but just keep up the outstanding work man 👊

Thanks for the video... Flying knees is something I need to add to my game. I always practice your techniques after every video so I guess this is time to start incorporating this into my game.

Edson Barboza worked the second example to perfection against Beneil Dariush. Backed up, baited him into range and put him to sleep with the flying knee. Great video. 👊

[IbrahimMdahir]

Shane can you make a comprehensive video on ring and street adrenaline I’ve been in only one fight before so I want to know what to expect in my second and every other fight

Hi Shane, do you have any tips on increasing stamina? I can run long distance and finish an ultramarathon but I don't think I have the stamina to fight. I'm already 38 and have just started muay thai. it has been a dream of mine to learn martial arts when I was young but we didn't have the money then. I don't want to grow old not realizing that dream so I went ahead to take lessons despite my age.

Probably you won't read this, but I always loved martial arts and in my country there isn't, so I used to watch your videos and do it in the air shadowboxing all the time and learning strategies and trying to imagine the fight and do it, after a while
I found out there is a good Dutch style kickboxing gym and I joined, and at the first day a guy approached me and asked me if I trained before because my technique was good for a first day newbie, I felt happy and all what I was thinking is ( Shane I fucking love you ), anyways, I find out that my couch actually watches you and The MT guy, pretty cool haha, I stopped due to my weak wrists and I will be back soon trying to suck the pain up ):

[cristianortiz]

Hey Shane could you do a video about building muscle and improving speed? Thanks man 👊❤

[lardazz]

I’m gonna use these tips when needed thank you

[gothicskullsyt]

This video will help me with my up coming muay thai tournament this July THANK YOU!!

[diamondbackmma]

Hey Shane, I wanted to know your opinion on something. If a fighter and my grappling is way superior to my stand up. Would it benefit me to take some time (6 months to a year) to dedicate to a traditional stand up art ie Muay Thai, boxing, etc.
