FightTips with Shane Fazen

[erezb]

I don't know if you have seen this or not, but thought it's worth our while to look at this guy's "street fight" tips.

Here he basically advocates punching the thigh...yes the thigh
(and balls of course). Saying that it will immobilize your opponent. It seems like he is searching for "new techniques" to justify his clips, i mean what is suddenly wrong with punching the body? And by doing so it misleads people to think that this is the best technique, or that it is even effective. (punching the thigh?? in a street fight?).

In this next video he is advocating the tip kick or push kick (fine by me), but than he said that leg (round house) kicks are ineffective and can be grabbed....so a push kick to the abdomen is not as likely to get grabbed but a low kick is??
Again IMO in his efforts to stand out among the thousands of this videos he will basically say BS stuff.

He looks trained in MT or something, but he sells BS for some reason. Go figure.

What the fuck is this? According to his channel page he is a pro MT fighter and a Golden Glove Boxer. What the hell is this shit? And why does he have a Street vs. MMA video. You would think that he would know better.

[csharp.negative]

He studied MT for a while, fought in Thailand, I think once, maybe, and then decided to teach self defense for people who have an attention span that doesn't stretch longer than 5 minutes.

Dat knee jerk hook/uppercut, doe.

[erezb]

even in that picture of himself punching (shirtless for some reason) he points with the finger knuckles ffs. He really is a piece of work.

The way he teaches this bugs me. I was always told to sort of try to swing underneath the opponent for Tomoe Nage, I was told to definitely not simply flop to my back with a foot up the way he is.

[kamadul]

He says the reason boxers exhale when punching is to make their punches faster? It's not to relax the diaphragm so that a counter to the body won't knock the wind out of you? Really?

[BootRecruit]

The concept of throwing an open handed hook to the head is weird to me (from the first video). I just always learned that you never punch someone in the face closed fist, but a closed fist to the body is fine. I get palms to the head or whatever but that doesn't seem to jive with a hook.

Is this something I'm totally unfamiliar with and should be, or is it a quirk of "street boxing" videos?

In sparring I find the push kick a lot harder to grab then the round house. That's just me though

I pissed myself yesterday. In my car.

Any hotties DTF?

So, on your home planet, the act of exhaling relaxes the diaphragm?

The diaphragmatic muscles can contract (to cause exhalation) and relax at the same time?

How many light-years away is this world of wonders?

Put your hand on your diaphragm. Inhale and hold that breath. Is it not tensed?

Now exhale. Did it not relax?

Here, this might help.

It bugs me how he calls it the Ryu from Streetfighter throw, since it has a long tradition of being the Captain Kirk throw.

The prospect of someone trying a tomoe nage cause they saw it on a youtube vid makes me laugh and shake my head at the same time. I've practiced the throw just enough to know that its really easy to screw up.

Contraction of the diaphragm increases thoracic volume, causing inhalation.
