Make Small Changes in Angle to Avoid Strikes and Land More | Training Alone
Making a conscious, deliberate decision to change my angle slightly in shadowboxing, then bag work, then sparring has improved my game significantly. This is just a small way to change your angle.

mad respect to icy mike for practicing what he preaches: no one in the gym? still training. no camera man? still filming. thanks for the solid content.
Cant stop man
True
Training standup comedy + striking, deadly combination...mentally and physically fast 💪😎
I just discovered Theo Von... he is hysterical.
@@hard2hurt sharing fight tips and comedic influences , this channel will make you not just a better fighter but a better person 😁
kzhead.info/sun/dd2viZeroYF9rac/bejne.html
pretty much sums this guy up. plus a great family man.
Hey mike where is your gym located ? I may be intrested in visiting thanks
3:24 Okay man. Subscribed for dance moves. You win 😂 Also for the good tips😉👍
I was kinda hoping he'd whip just for the memes
wassup, I always train alone, I can't afford the gym membership, and everybody around me that could help me is lazy so I feel your pain
5:03 All those years dedicating to Patty Cake has led to this!!! 💪💪💪
EXTREME Patty Cake!
hey mike vid request: some tips on capitalizing tactical advantage immediately after slight angle change. i feel like there a lot of openings created here that many of us might not think of on our own. thanks again for the solid content.
Hmm... that's when you throw those bread and butter combos that you practice in class but never work in sparring.
Silat and fma already incorporate the angle stepping in their system. It is a good way of controlling a person's centerline. Advancing or retreating off center avoiding the person line of attack
I've been working on Willie Pep's V Step in the gym lately. I'm definitely gonna add this drill. Thank you,that was a great video
I've actually been working this exact thing myself. You definitely explain it easy gonna have to practice more!
I absolutely love this tactic! I have a boxing match coming up in April and I believe this will really help me do well by creating smaller angles of attack while staying out of the line of fire... keep up the good work bro
I've watched a few of your videos and this one is my favorite. Very simple yet very informative.
best lesson ever! thank you, Icy Mike!!!
Not gonna lie boxing has dramatically improved my ability to dance 💃🏻
All of Mike’s content is great, but sometimes I feel like Mike gives us proprietary secrets and this is one of those. Thanks!!!
2:28 Respect for the makeshift camera man 😂😂
That pep talk really got my attention. Needed that. Thanks Icey Mike!
All your videos are awesome, but this one was extra helpful to me. Thanks bruv.
To the hardcore martial artists 👊🏻
Great stuff my dude. Keep it coming.
Thanks
Thx man. I've recently had trouble with angles
love these drills man. Im a personal trainer and i do alot of boxing/muay thai with my clients. This stuff is worth its weight in gold. Keep up the excellent content brother
I use a lot of boxing and kickboxing with my clients who only care about fitness but I try really hard to also put in some real technique as well.
@@hard2hurt yeah same. Ive done a couple years of boxing and 3 or 4 of Muay Thai but BJJ is my main thing. Ive been using some of the techniques I see in your videos with clients. and ive recommended some of your vids to clients as well. Much appreciated.
Dillashaw/Tyson/Dempsey now Icy Mike shifting and striking! 🧨🥊🥊🥊🥊🏋🏾♂️
Great tips man.
Man your videos are amazing i m learning a lot from you thank you for your time
Thank you for yours.
if i lived close enough you bet your ass i'd be in there any given saturday. love your channel, love learning from you, would love to help work on your content some time
I LOVE your videos!
great tips as always!
This is one third of my boxing game.
@@hard2hurt my boxing stinks, so these little tips are of value to me.
Holy shit this is so simple yet so awesome. Thanks dude.
It looks like Tai Sabaki from Karate and Savate's main 1 2 1 low kick combo. Great stuff! Appreciate the reminder of shorter steps to create angles, your channel is a hidden gem man, keep it up!
Keep up being a hidden gem? No thanks dude I'm trying to blow up! But yeah I get it thank you. Yes, the amount of change in angle required to land something is much smaller than it seems in drilling/training.
@@hard2hurt Yw man, I can see your channel blowing up in no time. The hardest part to me is creating new habits between combos that I got used to, nonetheless, thanks again for the tips
Another great solo drill!
Btw. Hey man, thanks for all your cool dirty boxing stuff. I actually had to use it with this unsavoury colleague at work. We do manual labour so there no office level professionalism. Dude wanted to fight so the alternative for me is to skip work (which is nono for me). First real street fight I had in my life. All previous ones are just minor school scuffles between boys. He came in throwing only right and left haymakers and nothing else so you can guess how it went
Rhythm and timing very important in boxing. And here it is... 3:23 🕺🤜💥 😁 😄
Mike the man
hahaha I was doing it in my living room right as you were saying I could do it in my living room. It's great to work on footwork, stance, and technique at home if I find like 15 minutes with nothing to do.
Used to love going to the boxing gym on Saturday mornings, especially during the Summer when little to no students showed up.
Yooo ICY MIKE! Still waiting on those kids training videos man, thanks for this one though your solo drills are always really well explained. Kia kaha from NZ
Love that step to setup a power kick or knee to the liver. A good way to really generate body weight and snap into your kick, while keeping the guys hands up.....and 100% agree with not having anyone into training enough to get it in whenever I want, especially as you get older...Its definitley easier with firearms to get training goals accomplished by yourself which is why my focused shifted to them after getting out...In the service you could always find a knucklehead to roll or spar with..Now I gotta drive an hour and a half just to roll with people that are into it and can teach me as they kick my ass...That's on me though like you said, I didnt want it bad enough....Awesome video as usual, keep it up
Shooting is expensive though!
Good content Sir
I only have one day a week with partners! more of these fab vids!! love this one!!
Great video. Literally wetting myself at the impromptu dance moves 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video sir. Thank you.
Badass video!!
Icy Mike! I enjoy your videos man. What I like about it most is trying new things, techniques you implement in your videos and training. One problem I find difficulty with however flinching or blinking my eyes and looking away when expecting a punch from my sparring partner or opponent. Any tips or ideas to get rid of or move past this built instinct, to be able to react faster to incoming punches 🤔😁
“This should be what you want to do on a Saturday” yes Those “crazy angles” do serve a purpose as well. Just differentiate between the two
I have a similar problem on Saturdays. Often, it leads to video events like "Coach Unsupervised." I really enjoy the drills and movement and filming on your own is rough. I can dig the approach. Well done.
Thanks bro. A technique video with a good camera man takes like 10 minutes to film and about 15 to edit. Something like this takes hours.
@@hard2hurt Right. I know this to be true in my own attempts for content creation. Thank you for the response.
Good video mate. Here are similar drills. Lomacheko style jab,step left hook head left hook liver. (Then pivot on front foot and straight right). Tyson style jab, step right ( forward a bit) hook body, straight left. I'm short too and think it will be very useful in a real scrap. But I trained a partner who is big and slow and it made hi seem much more tricky.
Wow, it's rly helpful
You had me at Theo Von sir...
If I ever learn how to box, It will be because you have a sense of humor!
Nice!
Very good
Okay, I'm slowly warming up to this channel. This video is good. The advice is simple with no baloney. I also like the sparring match with that big, Kung Fu dude from a previous video. That was cool.
Looks like a reverse punch and stepping into zenkustu dachi to me :P For a year or two I’ve maintained that last ate stances and stance walking drills are a method teaching karate head movement.
I love training on a Saturday morning. Nobody in the gym. I usually do this while my kid is in TKD class
Ill have my first sanda tournament soon, ill give some good use to this video, looks similar to the footwork i used to do in soo bahk do but simpler...
Keep it simple!
@@hard2hurt yeah, its a good pgilosophy... What we did in soo bahk do had lots of emphasis in exact angles, ways to move the hips, etc...
Great vid!!
Thanks maine!
Great video, and really well done considering this was a solo recording. When I record on my own, I tend to keep it very simple with the recordings. I can’t see myself when I record, so I can easily end up out of frame. Where do you have your theme music from? I suppose it’s cooyright frer, don’t worry I won’t use it. :)
Always looking for shit to train when on my own. Vid is exactly what i was looking for. Cheers
I like this drill and am going to try this in my garage dojo.
I love a brojo!
Shit man this what I been doing for my boxing footwork, other way of helping is listening to music with footwork(particularly rap or hip hop, idk how it works but anything counts) and also remember to move ur hips as well to generate more power and small movements with ur head. I have learned it really good foot movement for in-boxers style
My sparring partner isnt always available so this will definitely come in handy for me!
You may have missed your calling. Those were some epic dance moves.
I have had the same gloves for 10 years!
I have a small apartment full of training tools and a crappy 'wooden dummy' for bridging the gap. Training alone, Home Depot, Goodwill and a basic drill set and rope are your best friend!
IcyMike seems fabulous in this video
yes definitely useful.
This is something i did already but didn't notice i was unil watching this
Helpful videos thank you oos
Thank you for watching.
One dislike was from Wanderlei Silva.
this reminds me of the footwork frim the movie fight between bratt pitt in thr movie troy
3:24 i just killed 2 people with this moves
They got served.
your sisters doesn't count.
I work Saturdays 8am-8pm but I'd totally love to have the opportunity to just have an open gym to walk into on my days off or afternoons or whatever. Even an empty gym. Why is no one taking advantage of that? Good video, though. Thanks.
That is a weird thing i noticed, good point. people dont like to train on Fridays or Saturdays. leading most schools to be closed those days. kinda dumb if you ask me cus those are the 2 best days to train.
You look like you're having so much fun
Good stuff bro #hardtohurt
You may have been abandoned on a Saturday, but many of us are with you in cyberspace. Maybe not on a Saturday, though, or maybe on a different Saturday! :)
I'd like to have a gym that I live in but it's decorated real cool and looks awesome like that and I will have one
I would say it's like boats. You don't actually want to own one. You want to have a close friend that owns one.
Thaaaats what that room looks like
All the tips I can take for solo practise, I will take.
Good training partners are hard to find.
Well damn that's what's in that room.
Looks like the "Décalage" in Savate (french boxing). Because you can't land kicks with your shins (only the shoe area is authorised in savate), you have adjust your step to manage distance when comboing punches and kicks.
I've heard a lot about Savate I think I need to look into it some more.
@@hard2hurt It looks fancy as fuck and it's a lot of fun.
a lot of low kicks.
@@hard2hurt Check this fight, the finish is savage kzhead.info/sun/pbSjhcOvh3lojX0/bejne.html
you might wanna try saying the numbers for the punches when drilling on the bag so they dont get confused on the movement
Practice doesnt make perfect, PERFECT practice makes perfect.
Even perfect practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes progress. Nothing you do will be perfect but what matters is that you get better each time
I've been training at an MMA gym and we did light boxing sparring but I don't think it was light. What are the major differences the decipher hard sparring from light sparring?
i hate training by myself, i like to spar and get real fighting experience in, but when i do train by myself i work on technique and foot work, practice on what i would do i. the ring
In xingyiquan there is pao chuan, wich works directly with what you are showing. It's very similar to how you are moving.
I love Pao Chuan with duck sauce.
@@hard2hurt here a very well known master showing a clean and simplified version of Pao Chuan: kzhead.info/sun/abOOkdOljHmKa4E/bejne.html I hope you will be able to see the 45 degree angle footwork. There are, as in every martial art, several variants and added moves. This is the simplest one. Pao chuan is one of 5 concepts, energies or fists in xingyiquan. Ximgyiquan is one of the three more famous of what is usually called internal martial arts, alongside with taichichuan and baguazhang. It's the most ancient and is regarded as the most direct and violent. I practice xingyiquan, and seeing you move like that made me think about the universality of martial arts. Of course xingyi is influenced by boxing. There is a very nice video wich I will look for right now that touches upon angle footwork wich I hope it will be interesting for you. Of course angleing and blading is a very studied topic on boxing, but your footwork reminded me very much of xingyi
kzhead.info/sun/nayLg72XoKSOgXk/bejne.html here is the video on angles in xingyi
I only have myself to train with ever which is cool because it gives me only one person to convince to go workout
I liked this exercise... But i have a question since a long time, mate. Many coaches have been confused with my left kick. It seems that if I change my stance to southpaw, my left kick is way better than my right kick while having an orthodox stance. When boxing, I am totally right handed and have to have an orthodox stance, but if I change stance my left leg becomes "amazing". Any idea on how to exploit this mate?
I have never had someone to train with 😢😂 But, I have a multigym (York 2002 old skl lol) and heavy bag in my bedroom, limited room but I always make time in my day to get at it. #noexcuses
I'm a huge fan of both of icy mike and theo von how have i never seen this, you should try reach out to him and teach him some striking because he is learning some of that grabby gi rolling shit
good stuuff baby
I've boxed as a hobby for five years, and the only guy who trains with me consistently is my original teacher. I've had numerous guys come spar or train (some who claimed they wanted to be "champions" which made me laugh since I do it for exercise) and 99% of them all drop-out. I'll give this footwork a try.
Yeah finding partners is tough.
@@hard2hurt I thought everyone would rush to train with IcyMike!
@@Nepthu I have lots of clients and students who come here to train... and I have a lot of higher level guys that I learn from... but I dont have a lot of peers who are willing to spend their free time working on things that might not be obvious... like now I'm trying to do some knife shit but I dont have anybody who wants to work on that.
Hey icy mike why and how long you train martial arts? And when did you open your gym? And how old are you ?
impossible to hurt filmed this last year so maybe in his 20 s
is this good for boxing
Looks like this will create openings
True Not everyone is UFC champ or Vasyl Lomachenko
how did you get the camera to move on its own? swing it on a bag or something? xD
Theo Von knows a dude with no arms who got that neck game and will whoop you. I like this video because I work the bag and drill but at forty and working as a utility lineman I find getting back into the club just not happening anymore
Oh btw Mikey moves right very nicely... pay attention orthodox fighters!
I’ve been watching you for a while now. Can you or someone tell me what RKM stands for
in the podcast he said the M is for mike...
