Nice moves

That's jeffe homes

Fuck that he should've said something before y'all started. I don't take that crap lightly. That's why I always state how much force is gonna be used before I spar, to keep those jerks in line.

Nick is cool very respectful

*Here are some psychological tricks that I do when I spar in any gym or tournament.* 1) To break the aggression, you can nod, smile and compliment. 2) you can dance away and do a funky dance - reset. 3) you can crack jokes along with throwing girly strikes with loud sounds. *I always communicate jokingly and respectfully to defuse tension and aggression.* _I learned that the best fighters know how to change their opponent's energy._ You can also do this during real fights.

true!

I'm not a big guy, but if I was hitting a sparring partner harder than they were comfortable with and they were afraid to tell me I'd feel so bad.

​@@connorperrett9559 yeah

@@connorperrett9559 same here, I’ve had that happen and like the dude said communication is key, your partner should feel comfortable enough with you to tell mid way through or afterwards that some of your shots was to hard, I still felt like an asshole tho😂😂

I think its the camera lmao

@@MMAShreddedeveryone wanna fuck you up, its like a goal to people 😂 Achievement

@@MMAShredded that’s a very good point 😅 Nobody wants to appear weak on camera. Man ego

@@Ytterdahls Also usually with people I meet/spar for the first time.

@@MMAShreddedprobably also coz some bigger guys want to test their strength against a pro fighter who s smaller than them. I know i did but not out of malice, just really wanted to see how far i was from a smaller pro fighter coz light spar didnt cut it for me

oss

Only way to make sure you stay safe and go home in one piece 🙏🏻

That’s a great rule of thumb 👍🏻

I always throw the first shots very light and respond accordingly based on how they come at me

That happened today, but it didn't end well for his outta shape ass lmao

true

I do it too, I just tell them to calm down it’s only sparring and if they continue I either just completely fight on the back foot and don’t get hit or on the very rare occasion I’ll just bite down on my gum shield and give it back, but I don’t want to go home with a headache and shit so majority of the time I just say calm down

Same. I just started MMA and in sparring I always say can we go lighter, if it is too fast or hard and I can not learn new techniques and my training partners always slow down or even apologize for going too hard. Communication really is key. Most of the times they say I can go harder so they can practice their Defence with harder punches and so on but go light on me so I can do the same. If your MMA Gym is good you can always communicate not everyone wants to do hard sparring for some people it’s just a hobby where they don’t want to get concussion and that’s okay. And for me personally I learn much faster with lighter sparring.

Same for me... That's what I do. In Thailand that's what Thai people do, if you spare hard, they don't spar with you...

if I do that my coach would kill me😂😂

Hahaaha

@Dantes230 ok

not at all. that would imply that they didnt consent to bump each other. this is more like if both dudes agreed to bump each other, but then one dude went harder then expected, so the other went harder and then it kept on escalating

hahaha

Luv this guy his narration so funny

Even the black dudes first punch wasn’t intended to have to much power but a good placed a well timed shot can feel like you are going 100% despite you going 50% especially when you have are taller and have that leverage behind. He wasn’t going hard just a good shot. While the guy narrating launched in and that kick really was something. Seems like they talked about it afterwards.

I thought the same thing lol but that kick at the end was Gnarly af 😂

​@@somerandomguy3037lol that ear shot from the right overhand felt like Craig hitting debo with that brick 😅

Caught that

LOL

A beast????😂😂😂😂

Should he say thank you or fuck you?

thank you!

@@MMAShredded

taller people are much easier to sweep

Bro always swings at his sparring partners in every video

He likes the comments that sees it his way lol

True, because overhand are naturally strong in nature but it can be done softly then he kicked really hard.

It was thrown with bad intention

Fr

You're...soft

Watch it again in not slow motion

thanks!!

:))) thanks

i remember he apologized about a video years ago about this same thing. he put up a video stating how others started it, and then, the comments all blasted saying he started it. if not he would not apologize and think he is right. man is full of ego, juz cuz he gets to have a lifestyle revolving fighting.

i agree the first move the black guy did, didn't even fully touch him and it was not on purpouse and still light. But when jeff start punching and kicking back it was fully ON with bad intentions

So from the other guy pov, he did a medium hook that didn't land and jeff start to go full heavy on him after this

@@genjisama6884 this wasnt the original video. u need to see the original. not sure if its gone cuz of the comments and flame. but youtube its always "full of positivity". like how they always like some youtube stars, then years later they dig some shit, then they hated the same dude. its alwyas the same. even tv stars. go see what happen to oprah. i dont even know why and how she got famous. mayb networking. she isnt even that good of a host. see how she cut off MJ and lots of other stars. o'brien is a much better host in comparison. but oprah is higher up in the hiearchy. and when u state these stuff. ppl call you a hater and whatnot. imagine not admitting to wrong doings and having the people supporting you. what kind of world will that turn out to be? then these ppl preach for goodness and all the bs. seriously. really?

@@genjisama6884 not just the internet. same goes for real life in society. this world is just degrading into garbage hell hole. and if u say its cuz im focusing on the negativity. well. power corrupts. absolute power corrupts absolutely. with the rise of SJW and all the feminist bs. u gonna see people like them get defended for every piece of shit. weird i dont see any of them defending these ppl if shit happens to them. they just the moral high grounds for themselves. all the safety in numbers bs. democracy? really? democracy is the worst. get 9 idiots vote 1 genius out, u see what happens to this world

thanks!!

I've met him, he's alright, i Kinda left the gym he worked at because personally i felt somewhat disrespected by him, he's a different person.

cheers!

You can by communicating. But if you’re down for it and have fun go for it.

We have a thing called being able to speak

​@@friedrichs.8004 communication is the first part, then the hard part is sticking to it when someone else rocks you. Boils down to ego I think.

@@jackjack4412 yeah but ego should be left at the door in combat sports in my opinion.

True

It depends. Sometimes you know that they want and need the hard lesson. Some are just unaware of their force. A coach and fighter like Jeff has an eye for that.

​@@mortalkomment8028 well I said not to do that straight away. If it keeps happening then sure but there are very few situations where it should be done right away. I will Grant though that jeff may have already attempted to talk to him in previous sessions and it may not have worked out.

​@@MMAShredded lol sry but you were in the wrong. your sparring partner just landed a harder punch on your guard but you didnt pull your leg kick

Some people need to feel it to stop, otherwise they’ll take you for some sucker

true!

Haha I’ll make a video on it..

I agree with every word you wrote, that's the spirit and thank you for the tip !

that’s exactly what I do as well, I don’t want power to connect I just want speed, but a lot of people want to be gym warriors. even the pros I have sparred always kept it light because it’s literally their way of making money and they don’t want injuries. sparring light increases skill a lot more than hard sparring will.

I always leave my hand open in my glove. It's also a good thing to do to make sure you're retracting your punches. When I was new to kickboxing I used to punch through the guard and when they'd tense up and squeeze their hands together I'd end up leaving my glove there lol

Sparringisnot about winning its about trying out technique

Haha

Speedy delivery is gunna be the next victim of hard sparring after that comment🤣

:)

thank you!

thanks man!

thanks bro!

sometimes yes, but I would argue that I have my reasons and that I have wayyy more technical sparring videos to show

No he just posts them allot you gotta remember this guy spars hundreds of rounds a week, its bound to happen especially when going with bigger guys they tend to hit harder than they think.

Lol, so its his fault? He spars a lot, so ofc he gets in this situations a lot. Also, I'd imagine being a competent technical fighter would be a big cause for people to get desperate and forget to hold back.

Everyone has reasons, or "justifications", at the end of the day the results/actions show your inner beliefs. No need for confliction.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@samgomez9942yes it’s his fault. The video is a perfect example. The guy winged the right overhand that didn’t even land and that was his justification for going hard. if you’re constantly finding yourself in the same situation with different people the problem is clearly you. He posts these videos virtue signalling when he’s the one who welcomes this behaviour and even initiates it but puts these videos out telling his viewers never to be like these guys. The same way he felt justified for going hard over a missed punch other guys could have felt like that in his other videos but he’ll never give that context

LOL

Naw we serious

True

thank you!

Oss

haha I should though

@@MMAShredded yeah you should but you have a big ego so you don’t , happens all the time Jeff. Drop the fake nice guy act now

@@bpswank429 he is a pro fighter, I think he has fun going hard.

@@MMAShredded please don’t, I love your hard spar sessions. Regulating !

Ossss

oss

Haha it’s fun and gets the best views.. but not healthy

haha

thanks bro!!

😂😂 I read the other comments below and they think it’s my fault. If more people think it’s me who started this one, I’ll take ownership

@@MMAShredded not your fault Kru Chan! Same as literally 95%+ of these I’ve seen. Honestly, it’s absolutely hilarious at this point...but I seem to remember saying the same thing ages ago. 🤣😂🤷‍♂️ PS. A sneaky low kick is nothing to an experienced fighter. I’m old AF and basically made of dust...and even I can handle most low kicks at virtually any power with shinnies on - so it’s a *very* cheap excuse to escalate things imho...whereas a heavy overhand? Hmmm! 🤔 All I usually see is people getting shocked and frustrated by how damn good you are, especially since you’re often smaller than your opponents. That’s my 2 cents anyway fam! 🙏

It's true that it's not Jeff's fault in most of the uploaded videos. But the dynamic is difficult. If you're a big guy like me you might be unaware of your force and people might movre aggressive just to cope with the power. Small guys on the other hand have to prove their force to compensate for the lack of reach and weight. Stuff tends to escalate when there's big inequality in size or weight. Beginners also have big big egos most of the time until they're humbled. I think a good coach has to manage those bodies and egos so people can learn and grow together. That's why I like conditioned sparring where the experienced guys have to run and dodge and block and the inexperienced ones have to be more aggressive. Or having big guys try to use only jabs and the small ones trying to get passed the jabs. Or both parties just playing around with techniques and combos without ever really pushing or hurting the partner. Stuff like that helps develop mutual help and solidarity instead of egos.

hahaha

Cheers!

thank you!

haha i dont wanted to be rude because i love jeff but yes i also think he started… that right hook was hard but felt like it was controlled ….

I honestly felt it was the right hook that started it as I felt the power of his punch on my blocking arm. but if you guys all think I started it, I shall take ownership... :(

@@MMAShredded W Taking ownership

Even kickboxers spar

said by the guy who never spared in his life, you don't spar hitting that hard you dunce.

​@@Godly_Nosethis sounds like you've never sparred in your life. Sparring like this at times is important too

​@@stingingroger7576 Yeah, when both fighters agree on it. It's not instigated in the middle of sparring.

Thanks brother !

cheers!!

:)

cheers!

oss

True. And Jeff honestly initiates alot of these hard spars. I can't tell if he really doesn't realize that or he's trolling lmao

cheers!

thanks man!!

@@MMAShredded no, thank you 🙏
