Jeff, your videos brought me back to martial arts some time ago. What is your split between striking and grappling when it comes to training effort?
Amazing as always man👍👍
Razor-sharp humor; the unsung hero injecting layers of depth and entertainment into the narrative.🌺
Awesome 💪👏👍
Killer upload! Loved seeing how you faced the taller guys. Definitely gotta watch this several times. Be keen to see more of these in how you face several people in one upload. Was great seeing the variety of different type of fighters! 💪💪
Very controlled, very teaching sparring video. Everyone has it's own fighting style and jeff has a hell of a good one and improving as always!

Another day, another glorious display of control and technique.
jeff what artists do you mainly listen to?
Just trying to be observant here, not actually a critic:
1st guy is solid, but overreliant on the jab and kick. Not enough setups and feints.
2nd guy's too stiff, reactive and not very coordinated but has perfected kick catches and dumps.
3rd guy is too relaxed, doesn't bother to guard his head. Hands down style may not be for him. But he's very coordinated.
4th guy is very much like the 3rd but a little more animated and a little less coordinated
5th guy just radiates strength and stability. Looks very formidable while only moderately technical
6th guy is clean, relaxed, coordinated. I like his style.
7th has a great command of combinations, very fluid. But distance management and reactions not quite there
8th is slick but not offensive enough, but when he turns on the aggression it's quite predatorial
9th is slick too, unorthodox, but not making the best use of his length
Great sparring
Man I really liked watching 8 and 9
Hey Jeff, could you do a sparring video at LI MMA in West Babylon? They have a fight team.
I just had a great sparring today. As intense as this one, we sparred for an hour non stop besides the 1min pause for the first 10-12 rounds and 30sec pauses for the last 15 mins.
You know it's a muay thai gym because of the OOOOOOEY in the background xD .
