Gabriel was so technical and clean, wished I can have at least ⅛ of the skill he has.
This is literally the Expendables of the YouTube martial arts community and I love it!!! Bad. Ass.
Great 👍
Nose off his center line. Hard to figure out, but you were do'n it.
Nice 🤙🤙🤙
hommie! Shane Fazen vs Jeff Chan! make this happen Icy Mike pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
To your deffence you are shortest guy there and while in fight you have to just get inside and use full power in sparing its much harder, your oponents can just throw long distance punches, thats why for example Tyson sparing seasons were real matches, just war , he had to go 100% to be able use his weapons. Literaly all your weapons as a shorter fighter are speed and power, you cannot realy snipe them out of reach.
Kevin getting rag doll on the other side
Damn Shane fights like absolute android so precise 🔥🔥🔥
Shane’s Muay Thai is so smooth and precise, wow.
“The seven best martial artists, and sensei seth💀.”
Mostly we want to see him get his ass kicked tho
Good coaching on the beginner guy with odd shin guards on who you sparred first with, nice how you let him work his technique and how he grew with confidence through the round.
😂
Can't help but root for Mike
i dont see why sparring with boxer stressed your friendship he was literally just touching you all the time, he did not hurt you (at least you are not supposed to) ONCE. The avarage sparring in an avarage gym is harder than this. If this is too much, i would say never train in a boxing gym, its too much for you.
I think you believed you were alot closer to Jared than you thought, & after sparring with him you were like what the actual f 😂
Boxers always seem to frustrate kickboxers because their hands are faster and more coordinated
This was not 5% power! 😀 Or was it Mike?
So great
🔥🔥🔥
