There was a ufc fight with Bobby Green vs Nasrat Haqparast where Nasrat maintained the same proper, "by the book" guard, throughout the match and was constantly hit to his face by Green. He never adjusted and lost. Thinking and adjustment is necessary

I think Mike's point was basically "don't abandon your gameplan." You can make adjustments without throwing everything you set out to do out the window the moment something goes wrong.

I like the fuch em guy. A corner man should be looking for a tell on both sides because, your busy executing & reacting. Everybody loads up a certain way, although some may be more suttle. It's like a pitcher tipping his pitches. Your muscle memory is burnt in by repetition, so the tells are built into it. Its a catch 22 in that consistancy brings out your best one way, but it also exposes openings in another. Your corner sees the big picture, but you better be on the same page. Ultimately it almost always comes down to quick reads, being in the moment, endurance & lastly never under estimate your opponent, which let's Hubris creep in & leaves you off guard. To be successful with all this stuff all depends on your degree of tolerance & desire. We all have our limits & eventually they diminish along with your strengths. It's one tough ass sport .

Good advice for combat sports, period. Have to like icy mike/hard2hurt's advice on going out hitting even if you want to feel down... because if you know the other guy is "better than you", then sitting back and thinking you can throw the counter is extremely arrogant and stupid. The unexpected thing for the "lesser" (and less confident) fighter will be to solve it with aggression & take the fight forward. The first step is to never lose that mental edge (i.e. the confidence to take it forward) because if you feel like you're back on your heels and you've given away the dominant/top position in fighting distance, then you're already beat, anyway. Once the other guy is stepping back from your timing, even if you go out to a more skilled counter-fighter, at least you'll have won that edge and a measure of respect for fighting your way out.

What I tell my guys is to create a "theory of victory." Ask yourself "what is the most probable way that i can win?" Take that answer and then ask "what do you need to do to make it more probable that technique will land?" That will tell you what you need to do and what you need to train. Most styles have a built in theory of victory. Boxing believes that you win by landing a clean combination -- therefore you need the jab, footwork, and head movement to put yourself in position to land that clean combo. Wing Chun believes that you win by striking vitals at close range (throat, eyes, solar plexus, etc.) -- therefore, you need to clear lines to those vitals using trapping and you need to have power in compact space. As a student get more advanced, they can put together more complex theories of victory with lots of if/then logic and branches/contingency plans -- that'll bring variety to their skill set. But if the student is having trouble with sparring, teach them to work through this logic in their own mind, even in the middle of a fight and it will help them focus on the essentials.. "What is my way to win? And what puts me in position to make that happen?"

Kevin, is there any way to email you to request to come onto your channel/meet you and the guys in person. I believe I can show a thing or two as far as strategy and technique. My main sport is boxing but can do MMA also. I spend a lot of time sparring/rolling with people from different disciplines but I also don't limit myself to gyms. After a year and a half practicing some basics with my friend who taught me wing tsun, I've kinda developed my own style/fight theory (by slightly adapting some of the wing tsun principles)

@jonharker9028

That’s a possible outcome, but fake calls can be pretty damn distracting, too. You’d be better off coordinating code phrases for certain combinations or setups, so you use something less obvious. After all, a hell of a lot can happen in three minutes or five minutes, and only waiting for the time between rounds can be a problem. Maybe “double-double” means (for some arbitrary examples) to double up the jab or throw more 1-2s, while something like “baseline” means to set up a knee-pick single-leg or throw harder leg kicks - whatever it is that fighter and corner both agreed upon.

Normally when Icy Mike gives his opinion, I have to shake my head in dismay. But the bit about "Don't just completely abandon your entire plan" in the middle of that bad advice sandwich is sound to a degree. You are looking to make your combinations work - they won't all be suited to you, but you have to stick with them and try to solve them like a puzzle before you move on to trying something better suited to you. The best advice I can give is to understand that when you spar, you are moving at maybe 70-80% your normal speed - the slower speed telegraphs your movements a bit, abstractly speaking. Because what matters most is the time between the moment your target sees your attack and the moment you (would) make contact with the strike - shrinking that window is why you don't telegraph attacks, and sparring is "telegraph mode" because it lengthens that window significantly. So what you work on is hiding your attacks REALLY well, to still land them without speeding up past 70-80%. When you train that way and then fight at 100% later, you'll be accustomed to moving in a way that hides your strikes. You'll have considerably shortened the window that target has to defend, and you'll land strikes quite a lot more often. Being able to land a strike in sparring without speeding up - that's the main goal. It forces you to use correct form and not telegraph at all. Resist the urge to do anything fast that does not need to be done fast. On the flip of that, defending in sparring is EASY. It is so easy to get lazy with it. You get used to having a lot of time to react. So what you focus on with defense is keeping your defensive movements slow and small. If you are moving at 100% speed to defend against a 70% speed incoming strike, you'll learn terrible habits. Make sure you are defending at 60% speed against a 70% speed strike. Make sure your defensive movement is absolutely as small as you can make it. I will also say that when you train muscle memory, you don't train slow like this. It's not sparring. It's full 100% speed repetition, so that your body feels the physics in play correctly. Your balance, how the kinetic chains feel at full speed, etc. The target needs to be reacting in a predictable way, so that you can learn the combination with your body. You change how they react and repeat the drill, going through multiple scenarios. You don't mix it up at all until you have everything down. And even then, keep it a bit simplified. And of course, check that speed upon contact. 100% speed, not 100% power.
