Punching 101: Safety Precaution

[Farren2007]

more power if you dont stand so straight up

[AUSteveo84]

sounds like the dude off the matrix hahaha

[XlburrowsX]

I love that look he gives us at the ned, hes like " yeah thats right."

[spar4tee]

he talks a little bit like william shatner. great vid though

[spar4tee]

@spar4tee however the way he talks does make it easier to listen and understand what he is saying. would make a great trainer/teacher

[ITPsandstar]

hahahahaa he looked so fuckin pissed at the end of the vidio lol XD

[PARCE93]

And use gloves.... I FUCKED my knuckles up for trying to be "macho man". Wish i could go back in time :(.... 

[KingOfSage]

@PARCE93 You aren't suppose to punch until you are beat.. It's used to build your resistance on your knuckles by doing that, and add resistance to how much force you put into a punch. A heavy bag can be used to build your strength (it may build your strength but not necessarily add muscle)

[kashpc]

Wow man, you look very aerodynamic! :P

[44rumblefish]

Good speed! Another good post. thanks.

[K1LL3RCL0WN]

wouldnt wanna fuck with you man hahaha

[alexp9999]

he looks like moby's older brother, who'll kill you instead of serenading you with sweet instrumental music...

[44rumblefish]

@alexp9999

That was funny as hell.

[cheng2012]

holy shit

sounds like a machine gun

:P

[lvcyano4ever]

esti un prostalau

[Radixka]

Holly sit. He punches like a bitch

[MakeMeKing09]

watch his other video, I bet he could get 20 hits on you before you could get 5 on him

[Radixka]

This guy is sucks.

Hi is possible quick. but his technik is shit.

If you cant see that, you are amateur too

[MakeMeKing09]

Next time try speaking with proper grammar and just maybe someone will want to take your words into consideration.

[Radixka]

Nekem ez az anyanyelvem, pluszban pöntyögök egy-két nyelvet. Mi a helyzet veled? A buta amerikaik még a "saját" nyelvüket sem beszélik rendesen :)

[MakeMeKing09]

@Radixka

How about you re post that in English, Perhaps you're too much of a bitch to insult someone with a language they can understand.

[psychedelicraver]

he looks like an assasin

[zickaka]

u got loooong arms man...

[easy123lp]

Not bad good point.

[guayacan07]

guy's quick

[KINGTERO8700]

This guy sucks he's a joke

[musardus]

the bag swings like a bitch

[DarkSatanos]

damn talk about one hell of a punch

there goes my teeth

[SirVantesAFC2PUA]

holy shit your punches looks dangerous, I dont wan tto go in a cage with you.. no way

[Riskbreakerslayer]

hey dude you can cut the chains to a shorter length.use a hacksaw

[balletman]

Chain cutters work too.

I actually built a new heavy bag rack. It's taller, fits up to 5 bags at the same time, and works really well.

[dragonschild2]

youd make a good trainer and fighter i think :D

[balletman]

Thank you.

[gskowal]

let me also give you a tip... why is your bag so low and why are you punching midgets?

[balletman]

The bag wasn't hanging low. I'm tall.

As for punching midgets, when you're as tall as I am and you compete at 155, fighting shorter opponents is inevitable.

[gskowal]

Yes you will be fighting shorter opponents but what about the tall ones? Your chains are at the height of your head that's a bit too low you should raise your bag about 10-15 inches

[balletman]

The bag stand in the video can't go that high.

[hotpopcorncake]

you punch the bag weird

[hotpopcorncake]

thanks i do post weird 1.i got my own vids 2.bareknucle is a risk of injury i could it on the wrist thats i use handwraps,i rather preserve myself 3.he put his hands down when he punches

[balletman]

Thanks for the tips man.

[hotpopcorncake]

no thank you ,i wasn't trying to make a hate comment .atleast you trying to teach people something

[wannabeebee]

Good posting dude.

[hotpopcorncake]

thnks

[temptplayer]

pretty sure i would KO this guy easily with no training

[wannabeebee]

I am pretty sure you pull your meat every day.

3 TIMES.

Wheres your video?

[balletman]

You are more than welcome to try.

[wannabeebee]

Pretty sure I would like to see you in a video with no training.

Put one up.

[MainzxLivewire]

Nutty!!!

[temptplayer]

you seem to have an ok punch for having zero muscle mass

[balletman]

3.1% body fat is not the same thing as zero muscle mass.

[iamdanigga]

having muscles is not always a signifigant sign of strength

[varkonyimihaly]

He's a professional MMA fighter.

[UFCNUTTA]

ohhhhh DAAAAAAAAM!!! that gotta hurt!

[aaboi]

has anyone told u that u look like the guy from futureweapons?

[ahomevideoonline]

some1 told me that yesterday

[aldemar868890]

dude, I probably have a a malformation or something..If I punch a wall it don't hurt, I have punched them an created holes through and it don't hurt me, I usually like to punch hard things with my bare knuckles and nothing happens, but I punched the bag the way he did it WITHOUT GLOVES and I fucked it up bad...the skin on the knuckles is bloody and the bone kinda hurts.how fucking weird...

[Morpheus01984]

Nice videos!

[ScardFaceKillaEnt]

Man I will knock you the fuck out in one punch,shut up!!! LMFAO JK! But na my dude. I already knew all about this! Your speed is pretty fuckin good though. My punching had is harder then a motha fuckin ROCK. Got any tips on how to make the damn thing softer without buying a new one? Its a EVERLAST punching bag with the speed bag on the side but I can tell by looking at your its way softer because your hand sinks into the bag. You think I should cut it up and let sum sand out and then tape it up

[satownhustler210]

WEAR GLOVES DIPSHIT

[ScardFaceKillaEnt]

Dont want to catch him in a bar drunk. He will fuck you and your whole team up lol!

[balletman]

Good thing I don't drink, huh?

[d051926595]

damn that is sweet

[NullifyZ]

alrite

[NullifyZ]

what about if i dislocate like near my shoulder or whatever i cant really explain to good but if i do that as im punching would it still hurt because ive been training the move taiche or whatever where u harden ur fist by focusing your che on that spot and when i punch i fully extend so if i dislocate as im punching would it still mess my arm up?

[balletman]

Are you asking if it's safe to punch with a torn rotator cuff? No. Let that injury heal. There are plenty of ways to work out without aggravating an injury like that.

[77josh77]

how many years of experience do u have? and thats wierd cuz i was taught boxing by 4 diffrent amazing ppl ones a former lightwieght champion whos retired now lol and he said to snap my arm straight out all the way and back like a piston and thats wat i do.......and now iv got speed and power

do u know some ways to practice dodging?

[balletman]

12 years as a competitive martial artist. MMA record 3-2-0. Pro kickboxing record 1-3-0. 2nd dan in Taekwondo. Whatever that means.

And yeah, I've been working on some drills to practice dodging. I'll post some videos when I finish unpacking from my move.

[russianob]

you're good!

[Jeroenoman]

Damn, poor punching bag.

Nice video though, I guess the key is practicing isn't it?

If you don't happen to have a punching bag, what's the next best thing?

Thx, great video.

[666Edu666]

lol what a nerd u are...

[PlayDohz06]

You pretty much need a punching bag Jeroenoman. You can make one with a sleeping bag full of pillows and stuff but it is way too soft. Get a cheap used punching bag at a yard sale or look in the Supershopper.

[Shadowslamer]

Thanks Ball for shareing your knoledge with the rest of the world.

[scanviewer]

thats nice, scientific approach awesome!

[8VXU6]

Damn I going to start training today fuck tomorow. I need to get more power in my push, I got power but I want to beable to push fast and hard. Im 14 so yeah

[punadoman]

I saw the ALAMID MARTIAL ART master he moves a very swift and stunning rapid strikes. His name is SGT EDGARDO O RUPERTO, a PHILIPPINE ARMY. (8 to 9 strikes per second) with an opponent whose in on-guard position. I saw him executed a rapid strikes in actual demonstration in a different angle and direction. Superb fighter I've ever saw! You guys watch the ALAMID-INTRO and learn a truly rapid striking.

[balletman]

Well good.

[Daeron15]

hey what about protecting the wrist i´ve seen a lot of my friends hurt their wrists because they landed a punch incorrectly LOL but yeah nice video btw i always use bandages to wrap my hands and protect my knuckles and wrist ^^

[balletman]

Another excellent point. Hand/wrist injuries are very common in fighting.

3 things to prevent hand/wrist injuries:

1. Proper bone alignment

2. Conditioning

3. Wrapping/Taping

Sounds like another video is in order.

[Daeron15]

yeah that sounds great tips for hand fist conditioning or triceps excercises for stronger punches and types of wraping yeah what type of wraping do u use?

[aznbigtymer510]

Thank you.

[aznbigtymer510]

I've also realized on some of your videos your arm is straight, not sure if thats on purpose or not. Not saying your a bad fighter or anything, I just wanted to let you know.

[aznbigtymer510]

Maybe i need glasses lol

[balletman]

If there's a little bit of give at the elbow joint, that's good. You never want to lock the joint or hyper-extend it in a strike. That's bad.

Thanks for pointing that out though. I have definitely thrown some less than perfect punches in my videos.

[yankeesangel03]

Good to know. Really Good to know in fact. Wish I would have known that a couple years ago! Got into a fight and messed up my arm been trying to get it fixed ever since.

[mieq121]

Hey, nice precaution man. Your videos are really insightful, keep it up.

[balletman]

Thanks. Ironically, I've probably seen more people hurt themselves while punching than hurting anyone else.

Lately, I've had a lot of feedback from younger viewers without much martial-arts/fight experience, and it got me to thinking about stuff like this which I usually overlook when doing tutorials. Stay safe kids.
