I hate all these pussies who try and bring him down for losing to Anderson Silva. You all know Anderson Silva would fuck you up ten times worse than he did Griffin, so sit the fuck down.
I'm suprised Forrest Griffin let anybody video-tape him training. He's a real cool guy overall, but I heard he absolutely HATES it when people watch him train.
forest you keep droping your left hand at an angleof 36 degress keep the left at 47 and the righ at an angle of 65. this will keep your opponent from striking round house at an 12 point 35 degree north south stand point.
I would add-he's the kind of a guy you know he's in the room when he's there. I used to box and feel confident in fighting most out here on the street but a guy like him is on a whole nother level than what's out here on the street. Only a fool would pick a fight with a cat like that. He's a nice, unassuming guy not a trouble maker at all. He's really cool the kind of person you'd buy a beer at a hotel bar while waiting around. I hope he can get another title shot.
@sangwria His trainer's probably tellin him about how its easier to hit that particular combination from that angle. To me, thats what it seems like they're working on here.
Either way view It, Forest has what ever It takes to keep people on their back, toes, what ever, and no one can really predict wins over foerst. Yeah, Spider Is very good, so Is rampage, but be honest, those fights could have checked off any other way with a mistake as easy as letting a kick fly because your tired or think Its out of heads reach. Forest Is the man, so are the others. "tito likes friholaes" Beans or something like that.
Read Forrest Book even the book just the back cover there he says that all you need to be like him is train hard.... he specially says you may not get as good as the spider silva because he is one in a million years but forrest is a normal guy who trains hard and i think thats why people like him..
@Godpimp sadly people don't like forrest. they try and hate on him and discredit most of his wins. it's pathetic. they don't understand that a focused, confident griffin will beat any lhw on the planet on any given night.
You train yourself to have better conditioning, endurance, accuracy and muscle memory. Besides the only way to work your technique is to practice and be coached on how to punch better. its effective the same way running is good for a trackstar or just passing a ball back and for is for someone in the nba.
@almostpro789 Id take a beating from Forest Griffin just for the honor of having him on my card...too bad i never competed anywhere near that level rofl
If you are looking for very good gloves for mitt work i recommend Windy or Fairtex 14-16 oz when hitting mitts most fighters dont use the MMA glvs they either use boxing glves or bag glvs but yeah I use Everlast 14 oz but i would recommend the Windy's or Fairtex for sure!!
i havent used them personally, but there is one guy in my gym that has a pair he hasnt complained about them so im not sure. Also the ones he has i believe are 12 oz which i also have not used. I use 14 oz for mitt and bag work and for mma sparring i use combat sports hybrid glvs
where do you live? I live in Anchorage, AK so there are NO mma shops what so ever here i get all my stuff from Combat sports because my gym has a membership with them or i go through MMA Warehouse. Um and also for your second question i just like the feel of the 14 oz gloves when doing mitt work and bag work. I feel like there is more support and just the all around feel of the 14 oz. Its more of a personal choice. But yeah if there is no store in your area then Combat Sports or MMA warehouse
is that a online store or sumthing cause i dont really trust things from online shoping unless ino soimeone or a couple of people who know that u will not get scamed i. i live in maple ontario Canada and there are no mma store or anything like that around either except for sportscheck. deos ur gym carrie gloves and stuff like that and do u have to pay for them
My gym has alot of Fairtex and alot of Combat sports brand Gloves. Yeah they are both Online sites but trust me they are very very trust worthy at least for me they have been. MMA Warehouse is even a sponsor for many fighters. My Gym does not sell equipment to us but we have a Membership through Combat Sports and we get 25 to 50% off of merchandise.
uhmm its not so much of a requirement its just easier for take downs and submissions. Your not gonna submit someone usually with a pair of boxing gloves on haha. Also Sparring glvs for mma are from 6oz to 8 or 9 oz and Mitt gloves you are wanting to use 14-16oz so the diff is the size and also sparring the gloves are fingerless.
holy shit that gurl my have the biggest wedgie in the fucking world lol 0:42 n ways forrest is a hella hard worker and has fantastic striking and jiu jitsu id hate having to fight him
excuse me...say what you want, but the cardio level of running cannot be reached in water....simply because you are supported by the water....on land, there is gravity
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
a bit late, but this bothered me. Swimming is not the best cardio workout, a lot of forward movement in swimming is entirely due to floating and gliding. Running is better, and better yet is cross-country skiing believe it or not.
go to your local swimming pool and try doing say 6 laps, freestyle (which isnt even a full warm up for a professional) and see how out of breath you are
@DNLrider you're definitely right, but you could also tell someone not trained aerobically to go run 4 minutes with a Pro runner for his warm up and they'd be grabbing their knees afterwards if they even made it to the 4 minute mark. Swimming is definitely an aerobic workout but a lot of swimming is in the technique; the crappier your form is the harder your making it on yourself.
well, thats not what joe rogan and dana white say... in an interview 2 weeks ago for ufc 09 undisputed they said hes a little under 230 walking around.
Some fighters don't run- so just think exercise- do at least an hour of fast conditioning along with your mma training, and just try to improve strength, endurance and speed however you can.
Most do, and i agree it is great, but alternatives can be found, such as swimming. Some fighters like Kenny Florian try to avoid traditional training, and they have done well for themselves.
tito got d 1st round,il give him dat but was outclassed an dominated in 2 and 3.wat d judges seen i relly dnt no cos i was shockeed wen dat wanker got d decision
When done correctly, a boxing guard protects the head AND body. Bend slightly at the waist, with the lead shoulder and fists pointed forward, and elbows digging into the body. This provides very little target area to an opponent. Check out some boxers who prefer in-fighting and you'll see similar guards. It not only assists protecting the body, but slipping / bobbing / weaving / parrying as well.

Hmm, I've asked my trainer about this, and he has told me that fighting with a low guard is dangerous next to a high one.
Btw, I should hope you've never tried deflecting high kicks with your forearm, that would be outrageously bad standup technique.
And when I say high guard, I don't mean so high your ribs are open to attack. My high guard still fully protects my ribs and below.
