This gives me a whole new appreciation for guys like Brock, Lashley, and Riddle. To be able to do pro wrestling punches and then actually fight someone in real combat is just crazy. The shifting back and forth between two totally different things while making them look alike.

Throwing a good fake punch is harder than throwing a good real one lol

I may not be a professional or even amateur wrestler, but I certainly love videos like this.

That mannequin is a no-sellin' SOB! Lol

I learned more about striking in this video than any lesson I’ve had in person. Changed my whole perspective. Thank you.

I am in awe at how well you taught this.

That looks amazing at full speed.

Great job on the break down of the punches. I'm no pro/amateur wrestler but I understand the egg in hand punches.

It's truly an art

I'm an indie wrestler and I refined my punches from this vid. I get told I have some of the best looking ones in the area

I love these videos. This stuff is sort of like an anti-martial art. Lots of repetitive practice to get good, but instead of maximizing damage you're trying to minimize it. I'm going on 40 in less than a year and am probably a bit too old to get started (there's something to be said for being in good physical shape and free of nagging injuries) but a big part of me regrets not giving this stuff a shot when I was younger.

The Undertaker has great worked punches.

The dark order goons need to watch this lol

Man you blew up just demonstrating how to throw a working punch. I can’t imagine how much more tiresome an actual match is. Much respect.

KID KAOS! loved the work in the hardocre scene!

He is lighting him up with those vicious punches!

Something I had down as a child with my brother, was our art of selling, we never listened to those commercials when they said “Don’t Try This At Home.” We knew it was an art not to actually hurt each other. Me and my brother always did this really well as children. 😂

I like watching your videos as they’re preparing me for when I go do my training.

You're right, breaking down the elbow is key. This is really good 👍👍👍

This is so cool, there's a lot of "behind the scenes" or "how to" videos on wrestling, but you don't really realize just HOW MUCH goes into such a simple, basic thing as a worked punch in wrestling.

Wow, he's a fantastic teacher ! Thanks

He seems like a really good teacher. Detail. That's the key. He gave just that.

I've been a fan of pro wrestling since the 60's. I've always known what they do is staged, however, the skills they have to learn in order to do the job has never ceased to amaze me. It's one of the reasons I consider them some of the finest athletes in the world.

This is so fun to watch. Awesome instruction.

I loved the old days of Kayfabe and the mystery that was wrestling but things change and I'm just glad we can now really appreciate what great illusionists so many of the great wrestlers were and how easy they could work an audience to get them to suspend disbelief. One of the worse things to happen to wrestling back in the day was in the 1980's cable wrestling and the slow motion camera shots. Looked cool watching a Bobby Eaton rocket launch off the top rope in slo mo but even the best can't hide the subtle secrets at that speed. Big mistake that old TV studio wrestling would never make. Thanks again Santino Bros.

Love pro wrestling, have no desire to BE a pro wrestler - but I enjoy watching these seeing how everything is broken down and how everything is done so it rides that line of looking convincing/larger than life AND being safe.

Just turned 36 years old I wrestled a bit in HS and in Jr college always wanted to try pro wrestling might give it a try soon. Naysayers say I'm too old

wow, good lecture vid! i learned a bit about how do i punch on guy's chin / jaw in a professional wrestling match. i'm so lucky, thank you so much, Santino Bros Wrestling.

Been practicing and yeah my old backyard wrestling days... Never had anyone trained so... I'm learning alot from the santinos

Yes! I was waiting for this! Thanks

Thank you Santino.

Great video man. I just subscribed. This helps out so much. 👍

i needed this

If you’ve trained boxing this is difficult to learn, it’s literally the opposite of boxing. In boxing you keep your fist loose and tighten when your about to connect. In wresting you keep your fist tight and loosen when your about too connect lol, pro wrestling is such a great art, I’m hoping to start training soon one of these days.

Thank you for teaching me. This is great, thanks.

AWESOME BRO

Pie tins are great as well. The key is to make noise without denting them up too bad. It ain't easy, but it's great practice.

This is pure art

Another point I've learned from watching wrestling is the foot stomp as you punch to give it that impact sound..or sometimes the guy taking punch does stomp.

This is a great video, super helpful! I’ve been having trouble throwing kicks to the stomach, and my karate experience gave me some muscle memory that’s tough to override. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I always saw sabu do that love it

Love this channel

Ok where's the live Q & A I've been waiting for

Good stuff man yoh guys make it look real still it blows my mind

This video was so freaking useful.

Thanks this really helped i dnt usually throw punches i just do forearms smash and chops but punches i need help with those

Those were some of the best snaps ever seen...😵‍💫👍👏🤗😐👍

That's impressive. We seen in "Exposed!: Greatest Pro-Wrestling Secret", in the punch, it seems real punch, only got to do it's open fist l, doesn't pack, the punch in the guts, it seems slow-motion, shown the fist is gently punch and reaction of punch in the guts.

Perfect for practice. IAPW approves! 🤘

Thanks! Been wanting to know how folks do that for some time. 🙂

Great video and really good break down. I like it that you take your time explaining each move. For me, no one had better punches than the excellence of execution Bret Hart!

Very impressive to throw a punch that looks that real and see the dummy not move at all!

The guy training me in wrestling had me train on a corner post. Said if you don't hurt your hand you're doing it right

Thank you so much sir 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🤲🤲🤲🤲🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🥰🥰👆👆👌👌🥳

this video is really good i took up wrestling training recently i did combat sports for decades though so my brain kinda broke trying to learn the working strikes.

This is awesome

i remember in Karate class my teacher would tell me to hit a board if i felt pain, then i hit it too hard, and i am stepping in to it . in training its good, after many bloody knuckles and 6 months later i finally learned to do punches properly , where it doesnt hurt me lol

That was interesting. I have always wondered how Hulk Hogan was doing that at the start of the lumberjack match against Macho man Randy Savage from 1986

Great video great work!

This very informative and entertaining!

Loved you in XPW

Thanks, you kilt the Kay Fabe

this is so good

explained in detail very good

Since me and my brother were kids we could sell a fake fight. We had blood capsules from Halloween had the whole neighborhood thinking we beating the crap out of each other. I always loved Hollywood fight scenes as a kid. I developed some ground and pound that looked real with blood everywhere when done. Next day we had makeup on for black eyes. Everyone bought it our mom made us tell tge neighborhood we were full of b.s. haha.

Thank you for the video. I like punches to the midsection in wrestling and I also have a belly punching compilation video for Mylo on my channel. I like Santino Bros Wrestling!

Thanks for this one, dudes! Now, can you show us how to do the Superkick on Pro Wrestling?

Thank you sir

my brother is in the hospital after i did this

Papi you kinda look like Matt Barnes...and you're awesome!

Steve-o really learned a lot from Umaga.

Really good ❤

Yeah well done for Your dedication, Your a true artist, bet You didn't learn that technique in 5 minutes for certain!

“Our dummy Bob with the raider mask on” truer words were never spoken 😂

I remember Mox talking about it in his book sitting in on wrestling training see a guy throw great looking punches and drop kicks to students but the students feeling almost nothing. To me that's cooler than doing it for real

Amazing advice, I've been struggling to get my punches done correctly during my pro wrestling training.

This so beats paying $90 for a class thank you so much for this

Good teacher

I love the stomp

Can you break down Big Show’s WMD KO punch? That punch always looked real when he did it, especially the one to Brad Maddox

this is great

Great videos

You good brutha!

OMG I love pro wrestling!

Been in for over 22 years and also have done a fair amount of mma and jits. I have noticed that it's a subjective thing, with exceptions for full blown missing, because it's a fake punch being judged by someone who (most often) doesn't know how to throw a real punch and they (the critic/coach) know you are throwing fake punches so they have the high ground and a position of power to say "getting better", "needs work", or "looks fake" this is more about maintaining the power relationship than solely on bad work. Just learn to wrestle for real, then you won't rely on punches, and you won't need to punch, most professionals do not understand martial arts drilling, kata, technique and think a fight is all brute strength and will.

Taught us all to wrestle in 6 minutes

That mannequin been doing some sit ups. And a wise man once said...... WOOOOOOOOOOO!

So that’s why the Rock looks like he’s slapping people when he punches. 😆😆

Can you teach us how to do the exploder suplex?

Amazing

Mr. Kaos, question... Ravishing Rick Rude used to do "The Rude Awakening". How do you do that maneuver and not injure your opponent? This is probably the only move in wrestling I can't figure out, without an injury occurring. Thank you.

Thanks Steve-o

AWESOME videos. Do you have one on throwing forearms? Or the open hand shots like guys in japan throw?

Thanks

Fun stuff.

Here's a token 2 bucks of appreciation.

Love wrestling

I'll tell my friends in amatuer wrestling that I learned pro wrestling from this guy

I don't know I was born to wrestle or not but If I will put my all effort into it and sacrifice myself on the line to learn it by heart then I will and I can do it. Everything is possible if ur ready to make ur mind from hell to heaven then u will know what to do in life just have to see the Clarity of impossible it's always been I'm Possible!! people always read and put the wrong decision in their mind.

There's a lot of wrestlers out there that should watch this video.
