52 Blocks The Best Hands for MMA Instructional#1 Constellation

[nourdin64]

people who are watching this are mostly the people without some ballz.. grow them

[RudeFroggyFrench]

Why is Rahmels 52 not saving him from the Lithuanian mans? He is saying he is the 52masters but he is beaten ups and gang rapesd by the Lithuanian mans in the Bensonhurst public toilet. They fucking him in the ass for two hours filling him with the sperms he screaming crying like a bitchy. They make him wearing a dress and makeups like a trannsexuals making him sucking them. He screaming crying like a prison bitchy then they knock him out leaved him face down in urinal leaking blood and sperms

[Guard655]

@RudeFroggyFrench Wow man you got some serious issues or did you just write down your whole fetish fantasy? Thats sick man go get some help with your sexual fantasies

[silversification]

the title implies everything else is obsolete. yous have a nice system that i like to watch but ya have to remember that there are systems out there, i.e. (white eyebrow for example) that are also powerful that is very street capable. keep up the good training. peace bro.

[FarisiDaniel]

@silversification indeed but best hands is just that the best approach to boxing for MMA which is what you'll get if you checked out the offering. Now you don't have to buy anything to see that our approach is not sport, but fits for combat sports

thank you

peace

[tuopvm]

I see dead ppl? What kinda silly ass comment is that? If you wanna have a debate I'm with that. If you threw half as many punches as u do insults on youtube I'd fly to nyc to take classes. But you don't and it's clear you're incapable of holding an adult conversation.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm you start off by saying dudes like me, and you don't know me I return your comments with jest and now I'm a child. how's about you try again if you want to train with us I'll help you fly in, take the train or what ever. Before you can call something bs you have to speak from first hand. not watching youtube clips that have been up over three years like tht's all we've ever done. ask those that train with us what it is... Now is that Adult enough peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel My point exactly. It's been years and no fights. The vids that you guys post as fights are boxing matches that for the most part are little more than sparring sessions. No kicking, kneeing, groundwork, little clench work and not even a hint of the dirty fighting found in street fighting or self defense scenarios.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm but there have been fights what make you think that youtube is the only place we show that if out of respect we keep it to ourselves. Self defense is just that defend self. there are no systems for that if you don't have the heart. Boxing matches that follow the rules of sparring to keep people from getting hurt. fights however no such thing. which is why people fight for money

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Like I said if there is a video I missed somewhere point me to it. You didn't. Now you talk about rules to keep from ppl from getting hurt but you were talking about why didn't the Gracies fight dirty. Same reason. It was to prove a point not maim somebody.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm thank you for the Gracies lesson but I just happen to know some silat people that got to roll with then in the 90's ask Cliff Steward what he thinks. as for proven a point we went a long way around the barn brother. You'll be the first person to know when we share that info Peace

[tuopvm]

When the F are all these 52 ppl gonna post videos of real fights against real fighters? No slap boxing, no crazy arm waving, no halfassed backyard play fights against overweight guys or lames that they say are fighters but when they throw a punch it's clear they're fresh off the couch. Enough with the excuses, "i'm not giving it away", "It's to deadly for the ring" or "i don't fight for free" trash talk youtube videos BS. Fucking Fight or STFU!

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm I see that you havenot seenour non slap boxing clips no matter, you make a lot of claims here bruh that we never said we will fight without money (but if you got it we'll take it) as for giving it away you have to earn it, but don't take my word. not too deadly for the ring. show us a ring, never mind we have one... se you on the square oh you're one of those overweight couch dudes peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel If you have a vid of a REAL fight against a REAL fighter point me to it cuz I've watched just about every vid I can find on youtube of 52 by not only your camp but Lyte Burly, MR52, and other random dude claiming they doin it. I keep seeing the same responses from everyone of ya'll challenging ppl to come to the park or whatever like everybody lives in NYC or is supposed to fly out there based on a youtube clip. Challenging ppl online is lame bruh.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm I like how you use the word REAL fight or fighter, I'm glad that you watched everyone. as for online stuff what's lame is monday morning jock riders talking about sunday afternoon games they watched on tv like they were there. Plus youtube is not the only place to put in work... we do our work weather on or off net. so don't worry bruh you'll get to see us work or maybe not

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Dudes like you kill me. You post these vids for the world to see making all sorts of wild claims and boast and when someone critiques you u get sensitive. You'll have to excuse all of us with brains for not bowing down to the almighty 52. Even with my limited martial arts/fighting experience I can see flaws. If you're looking for ass pats I suggest you stop posting vids.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm That's like saying I see dead people. I like how you're trying toplay your self down, but not once have you offered your self up. unless making it seem that you actually have knowledge that youcan judge fights you have never seen. I kill you save it home slice and troll somebody else. How about you put your self in frame and show us how nice you are, or better yet lets just spar or just save your so called expert insight peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel First off unlike you I never claimed to be an expert and as for "playing myself down" it's called being humble. Something you know nothing about. Again you challenge ppl on youtube. Real tough. Sure thing. I'm booking a flight to nyc right now to fight in the park. Spar? U mean one of your boxing matches u try to pass as a self defense system.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm Humble telling us to fight or STFU! really and you're not an expert then why all the comments on a topic you know little about? learn how to ask the question and you can get the answer with out all the back and forth. As for the park thing thing that for 9 months, most train happens in my home or our gym in MD. Now that are people have put in time they can do work. so you'll see, or maybe not you seem to have some better to do with your time peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel The reason BJJ blew up and gained so many followers is because they put their asses and rep on the line and took on all comers with little or no rules any style and won. Whether or not it's the most effective they weren't talking they were doing. The ppl you refer to as "jock riders" are your potential students moron. It's no surprise you guys are still messing around in the park. With the way u guys conduct yourselves 52 never will be accepted or mainstream.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm I see you also fell for the whole BJJ, why did they never show the fights that they lost?, remember Kimbo, you can't pat your stats then claim to fight without rules with a bunch of guys who never seem to fight dirty even though they know there were no rules. and a potential students can come see first hand what we offer and put up on the spot. Best why to speak about it is to go to the source and check it instead of waiting for a vid to prove it's good. 52 is already mainstream Peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Kimbo? WTF does kimbo have to do with bjj or 52? He doesn't do either. My stats? My last name isn't Gracie. Fell for what? Like I said bjj win, lose or draw is proven. 52 or the other had is not. Fight dirty? Why would they gouge an eye or take a groin shot if they didn't have to? If knew anything aboutt bjj you would know that the aim isn't always to maim your opponent. In self defense the aim is to survive not win. Winning IS surviving.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm the aim is not to go to jail you mix that up with people who don't care and you'll hav problems. the fights you shaw bjj do were to promote the art as contest which is why you never see them lose. better than everyone until cats started punching them in the face, can't get the whole trouble. oh if surviving is winning then to win is survival. forget the sport now back to this boxing thing

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel They didn't start losing because of punching. They allowed any technique in those fights. They started losing when ppl learned bjj and knew how to defend which forced them and other ground guys to learn to stand. Sounds like you need to do some reading yourself.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm bruh when they couldn't lay and pray, and when cats started raining blows from the guard their little edge was gone. which is why wrestling became the new thing better base. and they stop pressing so hard which was why they lost in the early going to aggressive. Ju = soft, now that you have to work on the ground most cats wont even go there no wanting to wear themselves out, oh and the stand up is getting a lot better I wonder why BOXING

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel U clearly didnt watch the early ufc's. Royce beat plenty of stand up guys. Thats what I said when ppl learned to defend they were able to force them to stand. Put your reading glasses on old man. Btw wrestling is grappling



[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm Ah bruh srand up is not boxing or good striking surely you saw that, or maybe not yes wreslting is grappling but the focus is not the same as bjj which like to finish, safety took those kind of techniques our of the sport of wrestling along with several throws, but you know this and yes I'm older than you. which means I follow catch as catch can, oh you didn't know read about it also about Rough N Tumble and the first to do Vale tudo. yup you could learn something peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Actually I am up on catch as catch can and Vale Tudo. Catch and bjj share a lot of similar if not exactly the same techniques. In some cases only different in name. Catcth from what I know focuses more on the top but there are plenty of bjj guys that are more top game oriented.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm well now we agree enough said

[tuopvm]

Respond to this video..I'll use 52 as an example. If I'm a 52 guy and good with my hands and little else and some guy tries to fight me. Lets say he throws a punch , I slip and 2 piece him and he's stunned I either walk/run away or even move on him and take him down and hold until help comes or finish him. I don't stand there waving my arms around because like I said the object is to survive not style on some dude. Thats what i mean by subdue

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm see I knew you knew nothing about 52 you left out a ton of work that we would do. that includes waving our hands, but stick to your thing bruh you got that all worked out. in the gym, ring , cage, but on the streets Ieave that one alone fair ones are only good for fair minded people. and that you can't subdue

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel You keep talking streets yet wheres the street fights? You say you can't subdue ppl in the street, thats a moronic statement. So every fight is to the death huh? Whatevea man. I never claimed to be an expert on 52 either and AGAIN if you have a vid with some ground work point me to it. I'll gladly eat crow but you won't because.....?

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm moronic, brother street fights are where you live mindset is not on fair play even if you pop off and get nothing you can't hang around talking like are you good. Ego's have killed more people than skill. Cops that empty their clips are not subduing they are trying to kill, Fear is your friend but if your hyped on teachniques that work in the gym leave them there. and the streets leave nothing good will come from hanging around

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel I like how u try try to twist what I said like you said it first. I said it's not a boxing match in the streets where you stand there going back and forth with a guy. In a street fight u do what u have to and at the first chance u break contact and get the eff outta dodge if possible. You guys are the ones training for a street fight like it's a boxing match.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm truth is brother there is no difference, protect yourself at all times. but our boxing is not sport it can be be but not likely. to stay on point you have to feel the edge, a dirty fighter is a dirty fighter ring, cage or street. so we train from that anything else is cool

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel U show your ignorance of bjj. Bjj isn't all about being on the bottom and in fact if u train at a school with more of a self defense focus you'll hear them say it's better not to go down but if you do it's better it happens on your terms and you get a position of control on top. Even in the vids you guys posts of you're boxingf matches everyone has guys clenching, holding and in some cases falling to the GROUND.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm not really I know that they work the triangle method on the ground and some of their stuff came from another and not judo. anyway fighting from the bottom is great for the sport no one wants to be there hard to get up or move from another attacker. you do factor them in right other people. well we do the ground is a great place to stand but roll for the fun of it not so great think about it you're a smart guy

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Like I said it depends on where you train as to whether it's more sport oriented or not. My instuctor always worked in self defense techniques where as another really good school across town is all about sport. Just depends

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm the point is you can't just switch your mind like that you will freeze or never go into fight mode. knowing how to train and why you train is better than thinking that you have it. when it's never there. how many people train to lose? we say I learn from losing but all training in the gym has you winning so what have we learnt? you have to step out of your comfort zone and smell the fear around you to know what I mean, but training is good as long as it is what it is

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel I've never trained at a gym where I won. I remember getting my ass kicked quite thoroughly. I thought I was decent fighter until I went to my first gym and did some muy thai. I learned I couldn't fight for shit

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm real talk same here which is why we want our guys to go through the flames before they bang to claim fame. So let me put you on look at the Ward n Biko fight. watch the clinch game that happens. training is to build the bodies understanding for what can and will happen, as with systems the fight is mapped out thus he does this you counter that. but chaos is not so pretty we can only control us for a little time then you become beast. try and keep your humanity peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Ward and Biko aite I'll look it up.

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Is the title cuz it didn't pop up?

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm it's still on showtime on demand

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel Oh you talkin boxing. aite i'll look that up and get back.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm cool watch the inside game then you'll know peace

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel You take self defense system like krav maga and almost always they try to avoid the fight and in the event it happens the aim is to quickly subdue or stun the attacker and then get away, not try to turn it into a boxing match.

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm you need to read up on the history of boxing before you make comments about it. More death happened in the ring than at nascar, and football combined. all that quickly subdue stuff save if. no one that is truly fighting will stop because you try to quickly subdue them. learn how to take a blow hit with body mass and attack and counter- oh yeah that's BOXING

[tuopvm]

@FarisiDaniel What you can't find a legit fight in NYC? Hard to believe. All of you guys seem to be real tough talkers on youtube against ppl who comment as well as against each other but can't seem to put together a match so how you try challenge online. Only person I"ve seen put it on the line is the Nakmeezy dude but he's not 52 as far I know

[FarisiDaniel]

@tuopvm no he is not 52 but he's a good friend and it's not hard to get us so peace

[KINGTERO8700]

and its CLINCH NOT CLENCH retards

[FarisiDaniel]

@KINGTERO8700 never seen a type o no problem I'm sure the tech was wrong too

cause that would never happen in a fight thanks for clearing that up

peace

[youngvtec]

@FarisiDaniel how can i see the documentary on the 52 vs stato

[RebelWrestler45]

Nobody, especially a wrestler for that matter, is going to stand with their hips perpendicular to their opponent in clinch range, its grappling suicide; then again it is to be expected from these fringe 'martial arts' devoid of any empiricism.

[FarisiDaniel]

@RebelWrestler45 funny you say that then we see the counters against the cage and that's what people do, they turn side ways shifting the direction of there feet, to break the pull, also note that if the shoulders alignment is broken no takedown.

[RebelWrestler45]

@FarisiDaniel No, your hips are still square to your opponent when you execute the shoulder bump to create space, and the shoulder bump is used on your opponents opposite side shoulder with your lead shoulder. To do what you have demonstrated gives your opponent a perfect angle for a takedown. If shoulder alignment is broken the takedown is made easier, as the perfect angle for sweeps and single legs is presented, not that you’ve ever wrestled though.

[FarisiDaniel]

@RebelWrestler45 square not 180 but in a 90 degree angle don't have to wrestle (struggle) studied silat know whole lot about angles and aligment. So your right about the shoulder, except I was talking about the wrestling shoulder being broken, making it harder for him to get the take down which is why most people attack the head. i can see you love your sport why you assume that no body else has a clue you got me.

[FarisiDaniel]

@RebelWrestler45 funny you say that then we see the counters against the cage and that's what people do, they turn side ways shifting the direction of there feet, to break the pull, also note that if the shoulders alignment is broken no takedown

[dirtyclinchmaster]

thats up close the clinch is when yall are locked up - DirtyClinchMaster

[19215467346]

deffense is bulshit i train muay thai and what i understood is that you need only basics of deff ex: from jab , side hook and undr hook

dont beleave me? think im talking shit? watch what anderson silva says in his dvd about deff

im quoting "better to evade hitts then block them" hes currently a champion in his weight class so hes not a morron

[FarisiDaniel]

@19215467346 ok sudoku ut when you cant slip or parry you need to shield. sometime it's all in who you fight,and what they can do

[youngvtec]

@FarisiDaniel sudoku. lmao comebacks for days... get him.

[youngvtec]

@19215467346 dude stay off this post. the only reason u say that is because u cant do it.

[KINGTERO8700]

this shit wont work in MMA stupid niggers

[youngvtec]

@KINGTERO8700 yo bro diz will work. wats wrong with you...

[KINGTERO8700]

@youngvtec dude it does not work in MMA or street fight its fucking retarded

[sdjfsdalhgas23423423]

I saw a 52 v muay thai clip on here the other day and felt sick (I study muay thai and the guy doing it was a joke). This vid was better b/c a lot of fighters use the shoulder to get the other fighter off balance or create space. I was hoping to see how the style worked not just in "clinch range" but in the actual clinch ie overunder, underhooks, and neck clinch. Anyway keep doing what you do. People laughed at Karate until Lyoto Machida came along maybe this could change ppls thinking as well.

[FarisiDaniel]

@sdjfsdalhgas23423423 thanks, we actually deal with the range quite a bit, but used common tie ups, the key for us is to keep it within the guard, the peek a boo has tons of nice positions that can easily transition into other guards, and clinch positions

peace

[FarisiDaniel]

@sdjfsdalhgas23423423 thanks, we actually deal with the range quite a bit but for this video we used common tie ups the key for us is to keep it within the guard, the peek a boo has a few nice positions that can easily transition into other guards, and clinch positions

peace

[amstaffdoggy]

nope, i hope he thinks i'm one of them lol. he still needs to give me info so we can hook up.

[FarisiDaniel]

No I don't think that and I ask you send me an email

thank you

[amstaffdoggy]

to bulletproofmont:

i speak up when i see some bullshit. i talk because i do. not because i don't. i offered these people to a fight and no one gave me info so i could get a hold of them to prove this style is a joke. i have no respect for anyone who just talks. i enjoy the conversation. semper fi.

[NAKMEEZY]

If youre are one of the guys in the vid on your page you may wanna rethink your challenge to Dmarks.

[FarisiDaniel]

[FarisiDaniel]

Indeed he's My Brother Sadiq

Peace

[haumana2000]

wondering amstaff, have you fought in actual mma competition? Wondering cause it looks more of a fight club environment than an actual sanctioned mma bout. Are you Ryan? wondering because Im tryin to see how you and faris would match up.

[haumana2000]

guess amstaff hasn't fought in actual mma..hmmm.. daniel and my 52 brothas keep shinin.-one oh daniel please pm me your physical address, i got somethin for you.

[amstaffdoggy]

[amstaffdoggy]

your not in a clinch retard. you out of shape bull shitter. fuckin retards give us real fighters a bad name. 52 cock sucker. your a fuckin bitch w big ass titties. if you jumped up and down your tits would give you two black eyes lol,lol,lol,lol.

[amstaffdoggy]

[FarisiDaniel]

stop talking and give us a call.

Peace

[BulletproofMonk]

"I fight for a living".... Very nice. However; a true warrior does not brag, or run his mouth. It is often seen that the ones who run their mouths get thrashed. But he who does not speak keeps his opponent guessing.

I like your comment about talkers talk, because that's all they have. Right now all you're doing is talking.

Now I'm not saying I approve 52 blocks. It just looks like broken down wing chun (having taken WC). There's just a lot of BS and contradiction in the comments here.

[twyztted]

this is awsome i really want to learn this

[FarisiDaniel]

@twyztted

thank you

[amstaffdoggy]

u r  invited to my dojo for a lesson in several true styles. from a true master.

[amstaffdoggy]

i'm in japan fighting now, but you come to my dojo and and we'll send you to outer space brotha.

[FarisiDaniel]

@amstaffdoggy

ok when you get back I like to come throw

peace

[RyzER617]

@amstaffdoggy

.."and and we'll send you" WE'LL, WTF is this WE plural bullshit? How about YOUR bitch ass--callin ppl out on the internet? Your Master aint the one talkin shit!

I HATE you fkin You Tube tough guys.

Keep your bitch ass typin-

[amstaffdoggy]

well still nothin new with 52 blocks.

[FarisiDaniel]

let's do something thing Battlestar

peace

[prophecy2185]

No offense to the fighting style but in videos I only see trainers basically performing a choreography of what they would do in particular situation, but doesn't assuming that by using that little shoulder motion will cause that exact sequence of events seem a little naive.

[FarisiDaniel]

actually we don't care we take whatever is there, but when you know how to break the body down your targets are everwhere.

try it, you'll see that he will move or resist.eirther way he's going to give you whats next

peace

[slizzardman]

True. The idea behind 52 is good. I posted another comment but I don't see it so i guess it didn't post. I see a number of mis-applied movements. For example, the double forearm block used as defense against straight punches. That's a terrible idea, of course you're going to wreck that poor guy. I can't imagine anyone doing that, but I guess it happens. One thing I see is you leave yourself very, very open to low kicks, knees, and elbows during your movements. Fighting is more than hands.

[slizzardman]

Hammerfists to the back of the head are inevitable if you spar the way you do in the 52 fights against me.

I don't mean to knock 52, because I do like a lot of what I see, but it is foolish to expose such a weak area. That's just one example. Of course I'd just slap in sparring, but in a real fight that'd be the end.

I look for cripple and kill shots. I don't play nice. Some of what you do has too much of a "skill test" element, when a real fight is about hurting the other person badly first.

[FarisiDaniel]

Ah we actually cover for that blow because we use it too. you should come through some time I lke your spirit

peace

[slizzardman]

In the next year or two, as I have breaks in my school schedule, I think I will! It should be fun, I am definitely looking forward to it. I think what you guys are doing as a whole is great, keep training!

[clearcombat]

Kimbo Slice kept trying to do that ghetto shit and the trainers of the UFC said he was getting hit too much. It is useless.

[FarisiDaniel]

like he's is doing now, two years working with Bass, lost to non strikers.

oh well his ghetto record was better

peace

[reesey985]

THAT SHIT IS TRASH

[FarisiDaniel]

Lets discuss your belief could you clarify what you thought to be flawed. Were fighters here and we speak intelligently about fighting.

Peace

[oceanside1322]

hahahahhahahahaha wow

[Greatsocratesghost]

The no-hands armdrag was pretty cool.

[FarisiDaniel]

thank you

[FarisiDaniel]

The Best Hands for MMA 52 Blocks instructional DVD, the first, and only instructional dvd on how to fight with 52 available today at 52blocks . tv

[curtisb3000]

kinda of cool

[sigmacombatsystems]

Great video, would love to learn more about 52. What would it take to get you to come out for a seminar?

[FarisiDaniel]

just contact us through the website and we'll work with you

[Keysi4life]

do you guys work with lyte burly cuz i hear alot of 52 people dont like him

[FarisiDaniel]

No, he's doing his own thing

[benzoson]

r there any 52 training areas in chicago?

[FarisiDaniel]

not yet but we are working on it

[lancejr14]

what about atl

[tuopvm]

DOes 52 have any answer for the clinch? In most mma, boxing or street fights if a person is that close they tend to want to grab you. From what I've seen 52 is all hands so what happens if your opponent takes your hands away?

[FarisiDaniel]

Fantastic question! Constellation 52 Blocks specializes in the clinch. This DVD has 3 segments dedicated to fighting inside a clinch situation and moving while your in one. We are excited about how utilization of Constellation 52 Blocks will change how the clinch is viewed. Some one versed in our techniques can throw knock out level blows close in. One cant attempt a clinch tie up and block at the same time, BOOM.

peace.

[tuopvm]

Thanks for the reply. I have 2 other question then I;ll stop taking up your time. Is Rhammel Scott affiliated with you and do you endorse the use of keeping razors in the mouth for use against your opponent and do you show it on the instructional vids? I guess thats three questions. Thanks again for your time.

[FarisiDaniel]

No Mr Scott is not with us., as for razors that is for survival only as far as we go. And we are careful about showing those types of things. but our long tern students get trained in it.

peace

[megatron3210]

i would love to see this system put to the test im really interested in it u know all mar-tail arts originated in kemet

[Herc2770]

In Samoa i was trained by my Grand father who is Afro-Brazilian, son of the original slaves who brought their martial from Africa.

He taught me a martial art that uses the same hand techniques as 52 and kicking style similar to Capoeira without the dance.

I have competed in 22 MMA bouts as a Teen with a unblemished record of 22W-0L-20K.O and was schedueled to fight for the Light heaviweight title at 17, Untill i joined the Army. But where it works, just depends on fighter.

[FarisiDaniel]

that's rich history you have there, hope to see you back in the cage Brother, keep the legacy. one

[Marspyramids]

Fighting is more mind than body. You need to unleash controled natural ferocity. The more controlled and logical your strikes the more effective. Fighting or physical damage dealing is something all humans are capable of, but its how you structure your mind to ehnace it that makes all the difference.

[dgizzle82]

hey whats up, i've been watching a bunch of 52 hand blocks video on youtube because i want to learn to box, do you think i should learn to box first or 52, and is a place in NYC where i can learn 52

[haumana2000]

and brotha daniel, as always you are poetery in motion bro.

[FarisiDaniel]

thank you and good luck doing it right on 09

peace

Lil Philly "shell" as we call him is fighting for an ammy featherweight mma title february 23rd and is heavily training his hands to prepare (he already has good ground game.) I'll post the footage afterward. good luck and god bless. as i said before not exactly 52, but very similar movments and mindset, form and function.

god bless.

[satanisagod]

nice thank you for sharing your knowledge i have read worlds deadlest arts and there was an article on 52 always wanted to learn it now i can get the chance thanks

[haumana2000]

vanilla, to answer your question whether it's effective or not, i really believe so as both not just a coach but fighter as well. My mother art uses the elbows very much in similar transition, form and function as our brothers with the 52. as well as philly adn crab shell which is encompassed within 52 as well. I have a video on one of my fighters using the elbow blocks and destructions to great effect to win by knockout i will upload.

[haumana2000]

oh and by the way I train a professional fighter named drew the vanilla gorilla knapp as well..

[vanillagrrilla]

I am curious to see how this style holds up in real hand to hand combat. Is there anyone in MMA that I could study. I fight MMA and Consider myself a striker.(keep in mind I am only ammy lol) This looks very interesting.

[FarisiDaniel]

The key to using this style is to understand Boxing, how to set up your strikes. and position yourself for counters. Watch V. Silva, Rashad, even Rampage is working off angles and setting up counters from a guard.

I think right now, Anderson Silva is feeling like 205 is a pot luck and he's real hungry.

[FarisiDaniel]

true, but he can't take the division to lightly, as those guys drop more than 20 some times 30 pound to compete at 205. It would be nice to see some one who could stand with Silva and bang it out.

[theyoungcommander]

You're right. It's a very weird dynamic. I think Anderson would mop Rashad because Rashad's speed isn't enough to overwhelm Silva, and his conservative fighting style would drown under Silva's massive arsenal.

But I believe Rashad can beat Rampage because Rampage looks like he's lost a step to me...

Yet I think Rampage could overwhelm Silva with power.

Hopefully we get to find out.

Again, great clips. Keep 'em coming. Peace

[FarisiDaniel]

that maybe true, but if they stand watchout for the combo's,. and this is a true style's match up so indeed. I love to see it.

and thank you

peace

[theyoungcommander]

Like these new clips guys. Are these moves fundamentals of 52 or stuff you guys added on?

I couldn't see that leg trap (or whatever it was) but is that a move that is standard 52 practice?

[djchangsta]

This move is similar to "Hide The Flower Under The Leaf" in Baguazhang

[17brandiff]

THE BEST FIGHTING STYLE PERIOD!!!

[blackfoot71]

Very nice Sir. Thank for the small jewel.

[Rasclot222]

52 blocks style of fighting would be too much for MMA. This is the real deal. I wish we had a gym that taught 52 blocks style here in Cali. That move where he sends the guy off balance is crazy. Nice move brotha

[irishclubswinger]

Rashad Evans dude, 52 blocks fighter and new champ. I agree, 52 Blocks is serious hands.

[Rasclot222]

Thats right I forgot Rashad Evans practices 52 blocks also. He just beat Forrest Griffen he is the future of MMA.

[teamkimbo21]

haha he is good but wait untill he fights RAMPAGE!! he will do to him like what he did to Wanderlei!!

[Rasclot222]

Man I forgot about Rampage you ain't lying that will be a good fight. I dont' know who to pick on that one. People say Rashaad cause Griffin beat Jackson but that don't mean nothing.

[trq155]

yes sir rashad beat that ass, do people will respect him now?

[irishclubswinger]

Beat his ass? No, but he did beat Forrest, but it wasn't a slaughter. Who doesn't respect Rashad Evans, I've always thought he was an awesome fighter.

[trq155]

every where i go to watch ufc everybody say hes gonna lose, and no i dont like that im not gonna say he is unbeatable but he is unbeatin i have been a evens fan since the show even back then people did not respect him

[slizzardman]

Rashad acted like a jerk for a long time, so who's surprised that a lot of people didn't respect him? He's got good hands but he has too much unnecessary movement and he doesn't have the ability to be aggressive effectively. He's a bad pressure fighter.

I do like the skills he has, and I think he COULD be made into a true legend, but I don't think it will happen. He is not well rounded. Some serious work on kicks, knees, and elbows along with defense against them would help him a lot.

[FarisiDaniel]

wow, I think that he was trying to hard to please people instead of sticking to what he knows best. He wanted to fight like Tyson but didn't have the time to learn the little things. he has all of those other tools. He just has to find his comfort zone to use them. He's a young fighter

peace

[slizzardman]

That's a bit of a silly thing to say. The little things are what win tough fights.

For one thing, Rashad doesn't come close to fighting like Tyson. He's not aggressive, though he does have great hands, and shows how important of a tool they can be.

He is an easy fighter to pressure, which I honestly don't understand. He gives up ring position like it's a bad piece of meat. If you're suggesting he has good kicks, knees, and elbows, you need to watch his footage.

[slizzardman]

I can't believe you said he didn't have time. True warriors make no excuses.

All he HAS is time. He is an immature fighter, not a young one.

Like I said, he's good, but outside of a lucky punch he doesn't have what it takes to beat a true well-rounded fighter. If he even just had good leg kicks and used them, he never would have lost to Machida.

He clearly doesn't know how to deliver powerful, effective kicks or knees. Elbows are like punches, but I've never seen him use them effectively.

[FarisiDaniel]

I'm sorry but doesn't he have a knock out from a Kick. immature common man he's young, he follows his temas plan. it didn't work for him last time out. He'll make adjustments and as for elbows few fighters use them unless their are on the ground. I wonder why

peace

[slizzardman]

One doesn't mean anything, and I'm not talking about knockouts. I'm talking about being able to effectively make people fear your legs.

Shogun, as a prime example, is someone that NOBODY wants to get kicked in the legs by, and it completely alters the way they have to approach him. Rashad, by contrast, has no leg defense and no leg or body kicks worth fearing, so he gets stalked. If he had that, combined with the speed and accuracy of his hands, I mean wow, watch out!

[slizzardman]

I have often wondered why more fighters don't use elbows and knees, and honestly I think there aren't many people who know how to really use them effectively, and because of that it's hard to find anyone to teach you.

Technique application has to be centered on situations, not poses or individual techniques as is so often the case. The instinct has to be drilled in, to recognize the range and opportunity without conscious thought. You will be hard pressed to find someone who can teach that.

[FarisiDaniel]

the timing for elbows is not an easy one

when you are hitting someone. you have to know hard and soft. or long and short. or you will be out of sync with follow up attacks.  Thus Boxing

peace

[slizzardman]

Very true, you have to have a LOT of instinct retraining before you try to use it for real. And Just so you know, I have always told people that the single best tool you can have is a set of great hands.

You need more, just like you can't build a house with just an awesome saw, but boy does it make it easier :)

[FarisiDaniel]

True, it just makes you want to get closer to make the legs not as much as a threat

pick your poison. but once you are in range know your tools and get busy

peace

[FarisiDaniel]

wow you have seen a lot of Rashad or just his fights. I know how he trains. as for the way he fights he's following the game plan for better or worse. And Yes he wants to fight like Mike (Mike wasn't aggressive just a pressure (I'm sure if it wasn't for the knees and kicks more fights would be reckless) Rashad however is not. This next fight will test that

peace

[slizzardman]

I agree. Rashad's next fight will be interesting. I always hope to see people grow!

I have seen pretty much all of the footage on Rashad :) Like I said, he has a lot of good qualities. He just needs to have a more flexible game plan.

Rampage made big improvements when I saw him fight Wanderlei Silva. It was the first time I saw him fight like a fighter and not a brawler. Covering as he punched, I didn't think I'd ever see that from him. Makes him a much more serious threat!

[FarisiDaniel]

Then we agree, And I like your input I just worked a little closer to him and know how hard he's working on getting to the next level

Peace
