How to Fight: How to Block a Punch

[kakoru5]

how do u defend against a tight in uppercut punch? also how do u defend against wild hammer fist-like punches?

[DoeNietBlij]

I prefer to dodge instead of blocking

[AdolescentMartyrs]

Dude, thanks so much for all of these videos.

Also, your brother laughing was hilarious for some reason.

[R0cketmanBeats]

Dude have you ever been punched in the elbow?.......It fucking hurts!

[FormatxCwalk]

Watch security guard vs thug , its the best street fight ive seen yet

[ThatFightingInfo]

@FormatxCwalk Same, I loved the block the guard did.

[Jtracy1698leet1]

Dude do you know of any muay thai dojos in maine and if so what are the physical requirements?

[joeysmokesz195]

Would you suggest using the helmet guard against jabs and straights in a barenuckle street fight?

[InsaneCrazy255]

how do u block if the guys hits fast and to the body

[1skatesallday]

one question tho. wouldnt the way you show the "helmet" block leave the side of your head open? and ysing your elbows would leave your body open.

would you just have to move around depending on your opponents punches?

[BoxingMrExpert]

What if somebody fakes a "haymaker" and comes up with a left uppercut u gonna be screwed aint ya?

[slapnut892]

Not bad advice. I see you have based the attack and defense techniques off Muay Thai and Boxing, however, I prefer a mixture of Karate, Muay Thai, and Boxing myself. Muay Thai being based on Power, and the proper use of eight limbs. Boxing, being based on fluid quick movements and generating power from the hips. Karate, generating power from the ground up based on grounded movements, and all of the above. I don't blink anymore when sparing, I don't even get adrenaline anymore. used to it.

[yosobro2140]

nice

[skeletalpigeon14]

after watching 3 of your videos i went from cowering in a corner while my brother wailed on me to landing a few good punches on him and standing my ground. Thanks!

[ronnieamigo000]

thanks for the tips...

[SH1THEAD96]

yay! be right back, just going to the street and fight random people to put my techniques into practice!

[12345678930612]

too much talking

[BamAzad90]

@FightTipsVideos Helmet guard - good way to get hurt at the forearms/elbow or to get your thumb/fingers/top of the fist pushed in you eyes or against your nose when being hit

[tommothe1st]

lol thats what your dad did when i went to rape him, but it didnt work. so i rapedhim anyway. like ill rape you. and all your firstborns in your family. for ever.

[kentokie]

you talk too much mate..

[TitanicPixel]

To make yourself block punches more, you have to be scared to get hit.

This'll make your body want to block it more.

[captainpunkrock69]

This is awesome! I'm gonna try be a superhero so this is kinda helpful xD

[21mike21mike21]

@AssortedBullshit if you want to learn real fighting, you should learn kickboxing. Box is a style that you can't defeat everyone with it. And there is no the best style of fighting, the best is he who knows his style better than everyone, even good boxer can defeat everyone if he fights good. I want to tell beginners that if they want to learn fighting, try to learn a style that is useful against everyone and it's not hard to learn. I learned from kickboxing and now i made my own style ...

[21mike21mike21]

@AssortedBullshit I fought a boxer, it was kinda hard to block some of his attacks, but boxers don't fight with legs and i won cause i had good hits with legs and he couldn't block some of my attacks, because i have mixed style of fighting and he didn't recognize some of my attacks, but he had really good right hand punch :D knocked me down once. boxers are expecting from you to hit with hands, but others like kickboxers can block attacks from legs and hands and attack with both.

[maintainshark]

Very good videos you've got there guys, keep it up.!

[ballin7298]

7 min. just to show how to block a punch

[Gentilseulement]

At 2:38, if you get out of the punch`s way, and you're inexperienced, you will likely fall to the ground. Even if you just lose balance, there will not be much power in your uppercut.

[socalman028]

i love these. im watching this because some kid at my school (im 13) called me out and i gotta watch my back pretty much. i fight your style, and this kid fights with hay-makers and low-kicks. he never blocks. hes all offense. thanks for the tips man, i feel confident in this now.

[lukeskywakaflocka]

Do you have any videos of you actually fighting?

[meowey55]

sweet thank you!!! you have no idea how this video helped me :3

[21mike21mike21]

i haven't check your other videos but i'll tell you one more thing, what about the legs? and you're talking too much, show it on real fight in street or something. and i have a questing to you - Have you fought in real?

[Damian72a]

@21mike21mike21

You can fight - 3 chamsters. ; )

[lilrob2469]

[owenandethan]

/watch?v=-nyi3bUgreI

[showellsattler]

[KevinDBrown77]

THanks GUys, this video is awesome

[ummmmyeah1]

[dominator90241]

Thank you for the videos.

[NEWHITONTHESHREET]

[Cambria358]

[Themicisopenz]

[ThePlopper15]

KNEE 2 DA FACE(in a exaggerated announcers voice)

[DriftinWolf]

@ThePlopper15 in the faace!!! (hangover sheriff/cop voice)

[one72pjw]

good tips, although i wouldnt recommend anyone attempting to parry a punch in a street fight, its to risky, another good tip to keep in mind when your in helmet guard its a perfect way to shift to there mid section under their punches for a mid body clinch, or to work the body, thats one thing i think everyone should think about, especially in a street fight, body shots, they are extremely effective in a street fight, most people arent ready for one or even thinking about one comming in

[Da1RiSiN1sMoKe]

Blocking a punch in my experience is easy. Putting it work under pressure when your opponent will do their best to do likewise is the hardest. :L

[karatefox]

excellent techniques

[PR3LUDESI]

how would you block, or what would you do when your street fighting and some one just swings all out krayzie

[1234meeka]

@PR3LUDESI dont back up, get in close as fast as possible and uppercuts or takedown

[PR3LUDESI]

@1234meeka oh ok dat works.... were i live every one fights like that so......

[Palinez2]

All over the world the avrage people throw a haymaker. It's not because the baseball. Why american think that everything is coming from America?

[SuperiorNizzle]

I got hit in the ear with a left hook in sparring, ear was killing for days

[quickscope202]

whats a good way to get out of mount without rolling onto your stomach and risking a rear naked choke?

[SuperiorNizzle]

@quickscope202

Trap and roll - Im sure there'll be a video on youtube on how to do it.

[nmr20067]

Thanks for this. Good info. If I am in a street fight, though, squaring off like this, I will keen stomp him and try to kick him in the ball, too.

[Pap9]

can you do some video on headbuttin:)? i know its dirty but...its street fight also:)

[taipan342]

another great video fellas, really good fighting tips thanks for posting

[womblewandering]

Very very good vid. I learnt a lot already.

I do muay thai too but not very good. Still training. Keep vids coming

[golinda50]

love these videos keep it up! helps alot

[Mr420chuy]

I noticed that Mayweather blocks like that with his wrist to his ears. That's why he has great defense

[IL0NGHORNS]

fresh snapback

[logsterbMMA]

I was wondering if you could possibly make a video about a proper diet for a fighter, I know it's not teaching us how to fight but it will certainly help with conditioning for a fight.

[CodeCraigable]

Awesome, keep the videos up man

[1337eesti]

you look like a dude from my school who also does thai boxing and fighting

[iApna]

Actually when attempting to block punches with your hands up its better to have open palms facing your opponent (old school thai). Its easier to put a little stopping power/pushback in the incoming punches, allowing you to absorb the impact. Its also easier to push off your opponent giving you some mobility like parrying the punches and stepping. When wearing gloves either way can work but because of the extra bulk its easier with fists clinched on the forehead , wrists slightly bent outward.

[wingedsaiyan]

i learned all this stuff where i train man but with small differences its like a self-defense class and MMA too, also i saw in some other video that a guard like the helmet guard covers your peripheral(however its spelled) vision

[Oreillyisthebest]

real talk

[666slugs666]

What;'re your thoughts on throwing kicks in street fights? I'm talking about front kicks and roundhouses. I find most of my power is in my legs, and I've done serious damage with them in previous fights, but what're your thoughts?

[Thraxz666]

good work mate, you ight enjoy Geoff thompson or check out billiardjay's channel- look at bareknuckle by the american fella (as apposed to the irish-more sport). cheerz, yuour young but good

[johngrimm7]

Any tips on how to throw more powerful uppercuts? Or how to train yourself to learn to punch with both hands or switch stances.

[Thraxz666]

@johngrimm7 i gto one, practice!

[johngrimm7]

@Thraxz666 I do....I do,alot but it's hard finding good sparring partners and the uppercut is pretty hard to master.Thanks anyways.

[sompret]

Wouldn't this risk broken arms and wrists if the punch came from people built like bullet trains?

[kreorya]

what if you lift your elbow and he hits your funny bone lol. tht'd feel weird.

[HigherrConsciousness]

nicee,,, i wonder how someone would bluck nunchucks

[MackandAlex]

6:15 Sexy dance time!

[shawandrew]

Are helmet guard and peek-a-boo guard the same thing then?

[FightTipsVideos]

@shawandrew The peek-a-boo isn't just the actual block, it is a sort of style. Tyson said he kept his hands at his chin, and focused more on not getting hit, as opposed to blocking-and-countering. You have to sit and duck the punches, and return your punches before you stand up erect. ("Haha! he said erect!" -- said it for you guys ; )

[womblewandering]

@FightTipsVideos

Peek a boo allows you to hit and dodge at the same time. Thats what a tyson documentary said :)

[bboyvietstylez]

@FightTipsVideos what if i do these things, and it won't work? cuz i alway try youtube videos, and i go against a guy, i alway lose..

[bboyvietstylez]

@FightTipsVideos They could alway fake ur body and punch u in the face

[benclarice13]

@FightTipsVideos Great video man. One question, if you are considerably stronger than the guy punching you, would catching the punch be a good idea???

[giovanni565]

first awesome rave dancer too comment

[bjarczyk]

Really good video.

Do you have any suggestions for taking body shots? If someone was using a helmet guard I would be setting them up with jabs, and then when they go in the helmet guard unload on body shots.

[TheJovanist]

Leonardo Di Caprio teaches us how to fight. Sick..
