I use these techniques when I ask my wife, "why can't you do 'X' like your sister?"

[Ricenburg]

It's amazing how well he can articulate these things while giving out a demonstration at the same time.

This guy definitely knows what he's talking about.

Been doing marathons of fightTIPS' old video up until now whenever I am bored. You, Marie and Sully have gone a long journey my friend, you deserve it coach 💪

Good job with these videos.. Seems like you really care about martial arts and it's cool that you're willing to share your knowledge with everyone. A lot of your training techniques have helped me with form and the drills you suggest work really well.

You’re a terrific pedagogue man ! Keep up the great work !

[Lotusutra]

Excellent!!! Thanks Shane! This is such a critical and essential lesson! I studied kung fu for 20 years. I'm 54. Now I just independently work out for health, fitness and to keep self defense ready. My security job does, more often than not, require me to subdue people. You are a great instructor and I'm implementing your tips into my work outs! THANKS!!! Kevin.

It's crazy how this video came out right on time. I recently boxed for the first time and I did terribly lol. I kept dropping my guard and wasn't exactly sure where to keep my hands, so this is really helpful. Thank you for all that you do, Shane!

[mikerob]

The fact that I’m practicing these moves in a public bathroom while watching these vids proves that you know what your talking about
Nice articulation my man I can’t wait to take classes soon 🙏🏽

[igspiral]

Shane is my second martial arts instructor 🤩

[tomanderson]

EXTREMELY helpful for me. Big problem dropping my guard. All of these tips will help. Thanks man.

[Spideythegreat]

Really appreciate the tips. Just so happens I’m only recently putting a lot more focus on my guard despite doing martial arts for almost 17 years. Thanks again

2.2 million subs lol all of us watching preparing for that street fight that might one day come 😁👊

[SIMONSKCLUB]

Hey sir you are so inspiring. I was bullied all my life until I learned martial arts and u inspired me to open my own youtube channel to help others

[martialmusicman]

I like how you take something very simple and make it very insightful and entertaining.

[garygarygarythebabyemu]

I truly enjoy your videos on boxing more than any other videos...period. My MOST favourite channel on YouTube. Thank you for all your incredibly hard work.

POV ur watching this hour before the fight :D

[ethanlund]

The way you articulated how this guard is used to block a variety of shots makes it so much less confusing, I’ve never had it explained so clearly
