@mybrotherjesus78 thats exactly what im saying the phillyshell is the defense created by black boxers...an mayweather is not the greates user of it can you say...SUGAR RAY ROBINSON...THE GREATEST BOXER EVER HIS RECORD 177 FIGHTS BEFORE HIS FIRST LOST...an even though mayweather is undefeated by the numbers he can't add up to SUGAR RAY ROBINSON...
@52blocksinfo One of the masters of the so-called philly shell was and is James Toney!! I would even say he was slightly better than Floyd's use since James used his swivel more than his feet. Others are as follows: Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, George Benton, Ike Williams, Montell Griffth (used it to defeat toney twice), Meldrick Taylor, and the South paw Philly shell Pernell Whitaker!!!!
@mybrotherjesus78 real talk but every other martial styles has took loses...an mayweather is not the top user of the philly shell many boxers have used it well sugar ray leonard,purnell whitaker,georgie betton,sugar ray robinson the greatest boxer ever...
What I really liked watching in this vid was when your boy from Virginia was working his defense. It looked effective and cool at the same time!! But also the movements could also be used to confuse and disorient the opponent.
@insomnia37 thats the purpose good eye my friend. the Key is like Bruce said you must keep moving so even if your attacker flinches your body is moving.
good stuff my friend. Whether intentional or not, there a lot of similarity with Filipino Panantukan / pangamut. Lots of American boxing technology was influenced by Filipino boxing post WW2. You guys rock!!
muay thai is a very affective fighting style,works very good in the streets!most pure thai fighters arent good with their hands!although the style offers punches and elbows,the punches from a pure thai fighter are often slow, predictable and constricted!the punches are powerful,but can be eluded or blocked by an experienced fighter!a good crafty boxer with martial arts experience,can be alot of trouble to deal with!
Very good point, I think a lot of that comes from the fact that Muay Thai lacked the jab, hook, and uppercut up until a few decades ago. Instead they relied on the foot jab, elbows, and knees respectively.
Good point reef. However the thais started getting ktfo'd by the dutch and the french in the early 90's and started training their hands alot more. I boxed alot of thai fighters(in thailand) and their hands are alot better now. Somrak sor kamsing won the 96 olympics in atlanta in western boxing. Youtube him he is a good thai fighter.
If you cannot use or don't want to use ur legs for kicking, this style (in my opinion) is really good. Because it seem to include alot of boxing and Wing Chun Kung Fu kind of blocks and attacks. So it combines 2 strong stand up styles. If this would ever come to Holland i would give it a try :)
It looks to me that his "nuts" are open for a simple front and (or) back leg kick! I'm sorry to say but this fighting style is all B.S. It's all hype, as I said before it looks good being shown, but in a real fight doing this will get your ass whipped!! G-MAG
so the style is bs because it leaves your nuts open i guess the style you practice leaves nothing open you can't be hit every now and then i like to respond to these silly comments but what system dosen;t leave your nuts open thats why in the ufc and boxing they wear groin cups LGD.
Listen my brother I just turned 51 years old and stand 6ft / 235 lbs. in the winter and 217 lbs. in the summer, doing this for years. I have never fought pro but have fought in what we call "smokers" at my cousins martial arts school and at the Navy Base in my town. I've seen many, many types of styles and consider myself a realist. In my opinion the best stand-up style is Muay Thai because of the pro boxing skills and deadly simple kicks. On the ground wrestling is the best. G-MAG
except you don't have muay-thai men saying his nuts are open as far as stand up boxing is the best if not one of the best stand up martial arts but everybody has a right to there opinon
just curious, about how busy the guys defense looked at the end. He seemed to be blocking before anything was being thrown at him. In my opinion its better wait for the attacks in order to apply the correct block. Is this the way of 52 blocks or was it just the indivdual or maybe even a special 52 blocks excercise?
well you must have extreme hand eye cordination if you wait to see a punch you have already been hit you have to know from postion angles what is the best punch a man throw and in this way you can slightly perdict his attack you CANNOT WAIT FOR THE PUNCH look at mike tyson earlier fights he came at his opponent dipping and ducking even before a punch was thrown a waiting target is easier to hit
Think of it as a way to keep the opponent guessing. They can't attack an area that was already guarded. Besides, you can't always rely on reflexes 100% of the time in a real situation. You may not see it coming fast enough.
YOU must have just started watching jack johnson joe gans where boxers boxing was the first stage the balck man was given to show his ability at fighting not kickboxing,mma,wrestling
@52blocksinfo love the throw out to jack johnson... i think he does not even come close to getting the credit he deserves... the guy was way ahead of his time. as far as stand up i like jkd, it incorprates all styles and lets u put a personal touch in it... similiar to what u guy's are doing with your form.
You responded to me so you must be calling me a hater. If I recall correctly you were quiet as a mouse when I went to the park,I suggest you stay that way.
yea that just the way i am quiet but as i recall 4 mad crazy months u was popping crazy junk n yea after for like 5,6,7 or maybe even 8 months was popping mad shit that u was gonna go in the park an do the damn thing truth ber told my teacher mr lyte burly beat ur azz in a humble manner meaning he made u look like shit an the minute u would of acted up like jay z says it over hova no more need to talk over this to much why hater
yo Lyte.. i dig this more and more im proud to know the arts of the african diaspora live on for the next Gen to have pride in themselves. LETS GO DEFENSE.. word.
Hey Lyte: When I was coming up in Los Angeles, we trained something similar to "52" - I mean it was 52 we just called it "clownin'" or slapboxing. This was in the 70's. Now we had c-walk footwork. The older cats called it cell-block-shuffle, c-walkin. Ask Rahmel if that's because of shackled legs or tight spaces or both. Anyway, in your videos I don't see you doing that. The c-walk, is a smaller version of a forward Jinga or Uprock, where you alternate lead legs.
real talk we use the switching of leads footwork and there are many different styles and perceptions of the blueprints thats why its good we all speak on what we have seen and know to keep this alive
Lyte: We had the punch-walk, punch-jog, punch-circle-step (c-walk), and boxer-lead (like you're doing). Now they didn't have those names, either (except the c-walk). C-walk had as much to do with randomness and style as it did any set patterns - all of it was cell-block-shuffle.
It really was a walk -- the punch-jog (punching with quick jog-like steps, was the bumsrush! Again, all in-tight, (prison cells I imagine). There was big emigration in the 60's and mid 70's - east coast to west.
your so right about the names they are used to help explain the shapes but your not suppose to get caught up in the name in new york its 52 in philadelphia gyms it was wall boxing in some places in the south buck dancing
Sure, you state SOME of what you learned but my question wasn't about WHAT you learned, but the actual styles of 52/Jailhouse those techniques you learned came from. At any rate, you stated that you don't want questions directed toward you so we'll leave it at that.
Yeah, ZoKlo7. Did you and Lyte or Rahmel shoot the 52 when y'all linked up? What styles of 52 were you taught by your elders: Comstock, Elmira (Daniel says this is the "pretty boy/5%er-style), Clinton, Woodbourne, Coxsackie, Napinoch, Mount Meg?
I know. I didn't say Gullah (County), I said Gullah (Country)- the low country of South Carolina and the Sea Islands. I watch your vids all the time trying to catch things. I also run the Break The Glass, Show And Prove, and Lyte's DVDs in slow-mo on my portable DVD player to catch valuable nuggets. It really helps out alot when you're learning on your own.
52 Handblocks. Either you in or you in the way of someone else learning it. Lyte and Zoklo Ingore the hating and tell me what happened on ya'll encounter.
Real Talk. Now that I've seen variants of the 52 from the Norteast, I'm wondering when someone from Georgia is gonna post vids of the Alto 52 or someone from Gullah Country in South Carolina post some Knocking N Kicking vids. This is all really facinating and eye opening; history in constant motion. ZoKlo7, I know you're not in it for the recognition or $ but it's unfortunate we don't get to see [Your] history and knowledge in visual action. Kats will just have to pull out their pens and pads.
we all understand he is a utube gamer because we could settle this pretty quick how did his best friend VIN THE KID MEET ME BUT HE CAN'T FIND ME SO THE GAMES ARE OVER I'M MOVING ON ABD RAHMEL IS ABOUT OPEN A SCHOOL AND WE WILL BE TAKING OVER DAY TO DAY ACTION SO GOOD LOOKING LADYBOY LYTEBURLY IS REAL GOOD
real TALK AND YOU HEAR LADYBOY SAY ITS JUST A BOXING TECH ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO ROB HIS OWN PEOPLE OF CREDIT THE PHILLY SHELL IS A BLACK MANS DEFENSE SO ONCE AGAIN HE PROVES HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HIS OWN HISTORY
It's a boxing technique plain and simple. 52 blocks tries to borrow every type of defense and call it 52. "a close variation of skull and crossbones" I could say kyokushin fighters do a "close variation of muay thai" because they use knee's and lo kicks,however it aint muay thai.
girly mouth jus keeps his mouth wide open hoping 4 a big 1 to touch the back of his neck! if he so tuff he woulda been handled this nonsense but he's a bitch! any true martial artist knows bruce was more than official n they respect him! but faggets who like riding 52's dick don't kno what they talkin bout! close ur mouths haters n stop gagging on our shit! hi haterz! hi haterz!
real talk sir repeat thay seven months i told people this man is gay there is no man that would do this if he really felt that way he would make sure to go to the park now he needs a neutral place the park is neutral its a public place with a police station
and BRUCE DID COMPETE TO SAY HE WAS JUST A ACTOR IS SILLY BUT I EXPECT THAT FROM UTUBE WARRIOR LADYBOY WHO SAID HE HAS BEEN TO THGE PARK BUT VIN THE KID KILLED THAT LIE THE FACT THAT HE HAS BEEN BUMPING HIS GUMS FOR ALMOST A YEAR ASSINATES AND REVEALS HE HAS NO FIGHTS AND DOSEN'T WANT TO SEE ME SO THIS IS OVER NOW HE CAN'T COME SEE ME ALL HE HAS LEFT IS UTUBE TO KEEP WATCHING THE KID
actually if YOU LOOK AT THE COMMENTS ME AND ZOKLO DISAGREED ALOT THEN HE DECIDED TO COME TO NY FROM GERMANY AND MOVED AROUND WITH ME LADYBOY SAYS HE HAS BEEN TO THE PARK BUT NOW HE NEEDS A NEUTRAL SPOT THE GAMES ARE OVER AND HE STILL WANTS TO PLAY
the HOMIE BIG LOU SAYS HE WANTS TO MEET HIM AND WHAT DOES LADYBOY SAY WHERE IS LYTE HOW COME HE DOSEN'T TALK TO ME SO WE CAN ALL SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING AND ALL THIS TALK ABOUT MOTHER DEAR HE WAS NO DIFFERENT FROM NAKSWEETIE IDOL LADYBOY AND AS I SAID BEFORE I'M IN THE PARK SO YOU CAN KILL THE INVITES IM NOT THINKING ABOUT YOU BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT ME COME SEE ME
As far as Bruce lee is concerned he was an actor. The though process which is jkd is cool but not for me. Show me one video where bruce lee fought in competion. Maybe he did,I just havent seen it.
luckily as MMA has showed doing "MT ALL DAY EVERYDAY" will get your ass fucked up EARLY! Maybe even your internet sidekick Probably Sweet would take your fruitloop ass down and slap and armbar on you comin with "MT ALL DAY EVERYDAY". That Duane Ludwig is a pretty good MT fighter that didnt help him much in MMA. These bird ass niggaz got Bruce rolling over in his grave right now.
And lying early shouts out mother dear not me. The first time I heard about this dude was from him. So I googled mother dear 52 blocks and the little I found was related to homo shit. Do the knowledge before you speak.
As far as me being shook and trying to learn 52 from a dvd or a visit with someone,you sound silly. My style is straight MT ALL DAY EVERY DAY. I seek knowledge from whwerever I can get it from so mind yours. And further more stop sweating me with your weak ass apology seeking bullshit. Get the fuck outta here!
I have a problem with the bullshit LYTE BURLEY PUT UP,NOT 52 AS A SYSTEM. Furthermore,why are you even responding to me? Stop trying to be the fucking spokesman of 52 and mind your business. If you dont like my opinions then ignore them,stop reaching out me on some carl thomas emotional shit.
i want u to teach me...ive been going to the gym..and i juss wnt an opportunity to train with u...ur boys r tellin me there gonna get u to tlk to me..so yeah
"I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Remember that Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves". . . Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that. There is no mystery about my style."
I just had to post that little bit cause thats how i feel about 52 hand blocks.
Futher more
"Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do(52) is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back." You don't have to be a Master but it could be a daily workout regimen to keep fit and active.
One last Jewel. I suggest you watch Bruce Fight Chuck again and see what Bruce saw that made him stagnant against and how he corrected it.
... of the proverbial box are capable of recognizing the pros and the cons in many things. The dialouge here has strayed from discussiong fighting concepts long ago and has degenerated into a mud slinging contest. Meanwhile Lyte is emobodiying true MMA, not embracing 52 as the be all end all of self defense. Free your mind and your ass will follow.
True indeed and as a person growing up under the art in Brooklyn i should have more self constraint than i showed. To get back to the matter at hand. Lyte Keep making it do what it do. Yes 52 is the art but knowledge of self is important. We are not glorifying that the art of the 52 handblocks should be use for sport or just to bully people cause unfortunetly this is not the 80's and brothas ain't playing no more.
Great comments sds overfiend. It is really amazing to me how ppl attack this style with such vitriole. Not to inject race but, unfortunately it is a reality we have to deal with, and many ppl wether conciously or subconciously feel that anything realated to the "ghetto" or "prison" is something to be mocked or not taken seriously. Those of us that have grown up in the ghetto know other wise. And those of us that have open minds and are not blinded by dogma and bullshit, able to think outside...
No Man, No Problem. Once Said by Joseph Stalin himeself.
Funny part is you defend Muay Thai so much that your blinded to anything that is'nt you own voice or related to it. 52 His a hybrid style meaning you can mix it with everything. Much less like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. I could spend 1 year Muay thai Training incorperated with the 52 stance and probably whip you ass and you still won't admit it lol!
On top of all that most Muay Thai fighters stand there embracing Full kick contact like getting hit is cool on some "Whose shin i'll give out first" shit. I like Muay thai(Art of using 8 limbs),Muay Boran (Tony Jaa style which is way more brutal.) and kick boxing but exchanging blows is never the point in defending youself. IF you wanna get technical Money 90% of all fights are going to the ground. Its just a moment of how long it will take you to get there.
i get the message you don'y like 52 its bs no matter who made it you've been doing bjj for six months do what you do i know your young and you think this is fun but you could be using this time to do bjj forget 52 your right there is no way to block a punch or kick and no fighter can beat bjj good luck go make bjj proud
utube games wow CHECK THIS OUT I DON'T EVEN REPLY TO NAKWEEPY/LADYBOY MEANING HE HAS TO CHECK MY PAGES TO SEE IF I'M TALKING TO HIM AND JUST LIKE I FIGURED HE IS ALWAYS HERE WATCHING ME SURFING MY PAGES LADYBOY WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT BEFORE ENUFF IS ENUFF YOU CAN'T COME SEE ME MOVE ON EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW YOU WON'T NO MAN WATCHES ANOTHER FOR SEVEN MONTHS SEE YA LATER LADYBOY"LETS GO DEFENSE"
No its not! A knockout mean you've successfully defended yourself. If you believe 52 blocks is some kind of Offensive Set then there really is no need to talk to you.
put your 52 up against a real opponent,not your sparring partners using the same wack bullshit. Pick a neutral spot and we can do this. If it will make you feel any better I wont use knees or elbows to the face. I win I get nothing- you win,I have $500 dollars for you. Stop hiding behind the keyboard and back up all that shit talking you do.
thank YOU SDSOVERFIEND NAKWEEPY MUAY-THAI CRYBABY/MY NUMBER ONE FAN HE WATCHES ALL MY VIDS EVERYDAY DOSEN'T UNDERSTAND THIS AND TALKS LIKE HE KNOWS BOXING ONCE AGAIN 52 IS THE DEFENSE BROUGHT IN BY BLACK MEN WE ALL KNOW NAKWEEPY IS AGAINST BLACK MEN SO I SLIGHTLY UNDERSTAND BUT THE PHILLY SHELL IS A DEFENSIVE SHAPE CREATED BY BLACK MEN LIKE I'VE ALWAYS SAID IT WAS USE TO PERFECTION BY GEORGIE BENTTON VS HURRICANE CARTER NOT TO MENTION GEORGIE LATER TAUGHT IT TO PURNELL WHITAKER
what NAKWEEPY REALLY WISHES IS THATY A THAI MAN WOULD HAVE STARTED THIS THEN HE WOULD BE ALL IN SOUNDS LIKE BK HASN'T TREATED HIM TO NICE SO HE IS MAD AT HIS OWN WE MUST REMEMBER THAT HE SAYS HE IS THE BETTER FIGHTER YET HE WATCHES MY VIDS MORE THEN HIS OWN HE COMMENTS ON MY VIDS MORE THEN HIS OWN EVEN AND STILL THE UTUBE CROWD PAYS HIM NO ATTENTION NAKWEEPY YOU SHOULD JUST MOVE TO THAILAND MOVE IN WITH LADYBOY AND GET WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
You're good at dropping names but not so good at dropping opponents. Just because this flashy bullshit was created by a flashy homo does'nt mean I have to like it like you do. You wanna settle this meet me in a ring 52 vs muay thai and stop crying abt the weight diff. Lets see whats really good with your hoe ass slapboxing bullshit.
@3:02 Son in VA is Holding it down lovely. You cannot get in because he is moving so much and fluidly that his naturnal motion builds strength for attacks.
My 2 cents: Whether its Sold or told getting it out to the masses is the most important part. You had a choice to learn it back in the day but some of you choose otherwise. Now if you want to learn you have to obtain the knowledge and support the arts. It cost money to produce these vids so at least support that.
now THAT IS A CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENT EITHER SOLD OR TOLD I LIKE HOW YOU SAID THAT AS LONG AS IT GETS OUT AND YOUR RIGHT MAYWEATHER USES THE PHILLY SHELL TO PERFECTION BUT LOOK WHO TRAINED HIM ROGER MAYWEATHER AND THE ONLY THING THAT HELD HIM BACK WAS PRETTY MUCH THE BLACK MAN WEAKNESS IN BOXING WAS WE ARE NOT KNOWN FOR HAVING IRON CHINS TO CATCH PUNCHES
once again people we witness the emotion of envy which predates the hate anybody talking about your just in it for the money or exploitation is either mad or not thinking clear we live in a capital driven society you must generate income and as humans your existance exploits mother earth you exploit yourself by taking time out your day to say something negative check your emotions at the door the fact is cultures art should be reconized
I don't knock anyone for striving to earn a living a get ahead. That's all anyone is doing that is into trying to sell their technique of 52. It's about getting noticed. The re-emergence and public interest in 52 blocks began with the book street kings and then was featured in Details Magazine. Now everyone wants to capitalize off of this. If you know the history then you would value the art and not exploit. You give away freely what you had to go to strife to obtain HMMM.
so what your saying is what you work hard for blood sweat and tears should be giving away free what do you know of that works that way even when you make a wish at the wee you throw in a penny but once again since its the black mans art it has no value and should be giving away is that how the other arts work so i guess i should be able to go learn wing chun for free
and the intrest of 52 didn't begin with the interview the intrest of 52 has always been there but i see that the true problem is your probaly apart of faris dan. family and your upset but he sells his dvd for $60 and did he give the book away for free so lets save the bs about exploitation everything in this world is exploited and because of the work everybody has put in 52 is gaining ground
Lyte, I bought Daniel Marks' Break The Glass DVD and although it was pretty decent, I had a problem with the $60 and didn't think it was worth the price tag. It did help out alot though because, along with your DVDs, it satisfied a thirst for knowledge on 52 that I had been looking for for at least 14 years to go along with Doug Century's book. Now all I need now is to get taught (REALLY GET TAUGHT) the art. LET'S GO DEFENSE!
I grew up in the Desert and I see this trying to teach the 52 to be incomplete violation. For starters, one had to be considered worthy to even have someone teach them anything in terms of 52. This what Lyte is doing is disrespectful and pure exploitation. Anything which is not done in its purest form is weak and wicked and not the same. I'm 38 yrs old from NY. I grew up in the era when 52 was dominant. This is blasphemous.
your comment makes alot of sense why teach 52 so it can grow and evolve with other arts instead it should be held back until its just a mystery that sounds more like the crabs in a barrel approach if you know the purest form find someone who is worthy and make sure the system lives
I don't mean to cause friction with what I asked Lyte and he knows it. As a matter of fact, Lyte has gotten nothing but love from me in my responses to him in the past. Where you get that I'm trying to cause friction....I don't see it.
as always good vid showing the basics. punch slipping is def a skill. can i ask lyte, if your facing a guy who is all out like constant forward motion and ain't stopping till your down. apart from foot work what would you surgest? as this splashing hands kung fu ave been doing its all in your face. i've taken to side stepping and hittin off the angles OR covering up till in clinch rang and then the knees and take downs comin.
the footwork we use is mainly the switching of gaurds usally those who talk about fighting on the square are talking about fighting without moving which to me is brawling the square that i focus on is boxing
Lyte: I love what you're doing -- been teaching for better part of 18years -- I learned slapboxing in south-east LA in the 70s. We didn't call it "52" we was kids and them older cats called it "throwin bones" or "clownin'" or "slap boxing" -- but it's exactly what you are doing here.
Later on I learned catch wrestling, wing chun, and chin na (18 years).
i like what you guys are doing -- very thought out and scientific,lot of diverse subjects,you really take time to explain and it seems like you're having a good time while empowering yourselves -- i'm glad i suscribed to you -- keep it up
Love the vid Lyte and I 'preshate those 152 block dollas fam, it really helped a brotha out, real talk. Looking forward to the next DVD. The dude at the end of the vid from Richmond, Va, is he a student of yours and Rahmel or is he someone that already knew the 52 and y'all just linked up to build?
he use to live in new york and he trained with me and now he is down there holding the VA brach of 52 much respect to him for the his focus and training
Great video good brother cant wait to buy this one too. I talked to you a while back about about me and my son training with you .Still have your # bro now that the weathers breaking I need to make my way up NY. Peace good brother keep the good work we change the world with this old slash new energy. LETS GO DEFENSE
great vid lyte. whens the new DVD out mate? B4the negative comments start i wana say i really appreciate what u do, theres a pattern emerging of critics saying "thats not 52" etc "real 52 looks like this" etc. Well i dont care, names r only names. Ur DVD has improved my style a lot. Plus no1 else is showing their 52 which is fine but they shouldnt go on bout how effective it is if they wont prove it.
Once again a beautiful video Showing the progression of this great art. The guys in the park are looking great. Big man and homie in the red shirt are really putting it together it lloks like and dude in the video looksa like he has come light years since the first DVD. Another Great Vid Lyte. Keepin puttin it down my dude. LETS GO DEFENSE!!!
Its funny cause when I was young, my cousins in NY were Deceps and thats how they use to show me how to box. Cool.

If you cannot use or don't want to use ur legs for kicking, this style (in my opinion) is really good. Because it seem to include alot of boxing and Wing Chun Kung Fu kind of blocks and attacks. So it combines 2 strong stand up styles. If this would ever come to Holland i would give it a try :)

It looks to me that his "nuts" are open for a simple front and (or) back leg kick! I'm sorry to say but this fighting style is all B.S. It's all hype, as I said before it looks good being shown, but in a real fight doing this will get your ass whipped!! G-MAG
pfunkky 2 years ago
so the style is bs because it leaves your nuts open i guess the style you practice leaves nothing open you can't be hit every now and then i like to respond to these silly comments but what system dosen;t leave your nuts open thats why in the ufc and boxing they wear groin cups LGD.

I have never fought pro but have fought in what we call "smokers" at my cousins martial arts school and at the Navy Base in my town. I've seen many, many types of styles and consider myself a realist. In my opinion the best stand-up style is Muay Thai because of the pro boxing skills and deadly simple kicks. On the ground wrestling is the best. G-MAG

well you must have extreme hand eye cordination if you wait to see a punch you have already been hit you have to know from postion angles what is the best punch a man throw and in this way you can slightly perdict his attack you CANNOT WAIT FOR THE PUNCH look at mike tyson earlier fights he came at his opponent dipping and ducking even before a punch was thrown a waiting target is easier to hit
52blocksinfo 3 years ago
Think of it as a way to keep the opponent guessing. They can't attack an area that was already guarded. Besides, you can't always rely on reflexes 100% of the time in a real situation. You may not see it coming fast enough.

lyteburly52 3 years ago
Hey Lyte: When I was coming up in Los Angeles, we trained something similar to "52" - I mean it was 52 we just called it "clownin'" or slapboxing. This was in the 70's. Now we had c-walk footwork. The older cats called it cell-block-shuffle, c-walkin. Ask Rahmel if that's because of shackled legs or tight spaces or both. Anyway, in your videos I don't see you doing that. The c-walk, is a smaller version of a forward Jinga or Uprock, where you alternate lead legs.
Peace
OctoBox 3 years ago
real talk we use the switching of leads footwork and there are many different styles and perceptions of the blueprints thats why its good we all speak on what we have seen and know to keep this alive
lyteburly52 3 years ago
Lyte: We had the punch-walk, punch-jog, punch-circle-step (c-walk), and boxer-lead (like you're doing). Now they didn't have those names, either (except the c-walk). C-walk had as much to do with randomness and style as it did any set patterns - all of it was cell-block-shuffle.
It really was a walk -- the punch-jog (punching with quick jog-like steps, was the bumsrush! Again, all in-tight, (prison cells I imagine). There was big emigration in the 60's and mid 70's - east coast to west.

Yeah, ZoKlo7. Did you and Lyte or Rahmel shoot the 52 when y'all linked up? What styles of 52 were you taught by your elders: Comstock, Elmira (Daniel says this is the "pretty boy/5%er-style), Clinton, Woodbourne, Coxsackie, Napinoch, Mount Meg?

"I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Remember that Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves". . . Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that. There is no mystery about my style."

"Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do(52) is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back." You don't have to be a Master but it could be a daily workout regimen to keep fit and active.

True indeed and as a person growing up under the art in Brooklyn i should have more self constraint than i showed. To get back to the matter at hand. Lyte Keep making it do what it do.

Funny part is you defend Muay Thai so much that your blinded to anything that is'nt you own voice or related to it. 52 His a hybrid style meaning you can mix it with everything. Much less like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. I could spend 1 year Muay thai Training incorperated with the 52 stance and probably whip you ass and you still won't admit it lol!
SDSOverfiend 3 years ago
On top of all that most Muay Thai fighters stand there embracing Full kick contact like getting hit is cool on some "Whose shin i'll give out first" shit. I like Muay thai(Art of using 8 limbs),Muay Boran (Tony Jaa style which is way more brutal.) and kick boxing but exchanging blows is never the point in defending youself. IF you wanna get technical Money 90% of all fights are going to the ground. Its just a moment of how long it will take you to get there.

My 2 cents: Whether its Sold or told getting it out to the masses is the most important part. You had a choice to learn it back in the day but some of you choose otherwise. Now if you want to learn you have to obtain the knowledge and support the arts. It cost money to produce these vids so at least support that.

lyteburly52 3 years ago
I don't knock anyone for striving to earn a living a get ahead. That's all anyone is doing that is into trying to sell their technique of 52. It's about getting noticed. The re-emergence and public interest in 52 blocks began with the book street kings and then was featured in Details Magazine. Now everyone wants to capitalize off of this. If you know the history then you would value the art and not exploit. You give away freely what you had to go to strife to obtain HMMM.

so what your saying is what you work hard for blood sweat and tears should be giving away free what do you know of that works that way even when you make a wish at the wee you throw in a penny but once again since its the black mans art it has no value and should be giving away is that how the other arts work so i guess i should be able to go learn wing chun for free

lyteburly52 3 years ago
Lyte, I bought Daniel Marks' Break The Glass DVD and although it was pretty decent, I had a problem with the $60 and didn't think it was worth the price tag. It did help out alot though because, along with your DVDs, it satisfied a thirst for knowledge on 52 that I had been looking for for at least 14 years to go along with Doug Century's book. Now all I need now is to get taught (REALLY GET TAUGHT) the art. LET'S GO DEFENSE!

I grew up in the era when 52 was dominant. This is blasphemous.
