Back in Bali, I sparred a Muay Thai instructor with a strong Taekwondo background. For the first time in a while, I let my emotions get to me. Knowing that he is a big, tall, and athletic guy, I figured our round would be light and technical. But check out the video to see what happened... and I hope this video reminds you guys to keep your emotions in check during your sparring or competition!

Jeff Chan is the guy who's not embarrassed to say anything about himself, truly a legend. Hope you'll achieve more in life. You're a great guy, respect.
thanks so much brother, that means a lot to me!!! hope your staying safe out there !
@@MMAShredded You're an inspiration to us. We definitely want you to succeed.
You are one of the great guy I've ever seen in my life Jeff Chan. 🥀💞
@@cab6580 yeah Sean is awesome!
@@zaidrahman7102 thanks Zaid!
Taekondo guy: Throws a hard strike Jeff-Chan: *So you have chosen death*
HAHA
Underrated comment ! Lmao
I'm a boxer. I have videos on my Instegram account. @_voyvoda
@@MMAShredded 70 KG VS 90 not fair
Amen
It doesnt help that "In the End" was playing. Makes everyone a try hard automatically 😂😂
haha true!
Facts 😂😂😂
lol o. I thought that was added to the video as bg music because of the subject matter. 😆
Who else gets amped up just watching people spar... my adrenaline spikes lol
haha thanks for watching!
Me too. I can’t wait to finally go back to my gym and spar again. Videos like these get me hyped for it lol.
for sure. my hearth was pounding when the sparring was becoming a real fight.. even in anger mode and doing some sloppy moves you fight so well. big fan of yours. thanks
mitsubishidiamante Oh that sucks
Mine has reservations too but my schedule has been too crazy. Can't wait to go back
It also didn't help that 'In The End' was blasting in the background 😅
lol
That would just make me hurt him more 😂
lmaoooo true
Yep
"In the End" always helps........always!
Hope you guys enjoyed this video and got some entertainment for the weekend at my expense haha! I just want to put out there that there’s no anger or resentment towards this guy. He was always extremely respectful when seeing my team at the gym, and I think his behaviour just stems from lack of training partners AND sparring at their local gym. Being controlled in your sparring comes with time and years of experience. I would also like to mention that it isn't disrespectful to spar hard (I enjoy a hard sparring session every here and there). What I felt was disrespectful or triggered my emotions, was that not only was it our first time sparring, I was the coach of that session, so out of respect you would let the coach dictate the pace. If you've ever see my videos of me sparring Thai instructors from Thailand, I always go very light out of respect. Furthermore, the first strike he threw, IMO was very hard (call me weak if you must), and you would assume that being a significantly bigger opponent, you would at least start off light and slowly escalate to harder sparring. And don’t forget guys, drill! And drill realistically!
I do think that you should fought in the phone booth. You clearly had the boxing advantage. I've sparred tkd b black belts a few times and I always get smashed when I fight them at range. Over hands and smothering them seems to really highlight their boxing deficiencies
true! clearly I wasn't thinking too much though during this haha
@@MMAShredded lol I've been there. I've gotten butt kicked by guys that I've should've handled easily but were better brawlers. Glad you're at ONE they're the future of the sport.
@truth hurts lol I learned the hard way to not fight at range with you guys. I was cocky about my kicking but got humbled. Pettis has that background and look at him. Good luck on the path brother
Everyone gets wrong, but about nobody ever has the balls to admit it openly, and just care for your personal responsibility: it's not important what others do, one is responsible for his actions beside circumstances. This is just proof you're really a fighter with pride, code, honour. Also, good sparring, your first (or second one? The better of the two) sweep is like golden, and also the other guy fought good considering his opponent was a pro. Third point: i love the fact this escalated due to the strike being too much powerful and not, as you often see, because of dirty stuff like spinning elbows and such
I don’t blame you for getting emotional with In the end playing in the background
hahaha!
Linkin park is the last group that does really ranked,since 60s or 70s times...
Who spar with their baseball cap on backwards? Douche-mode: On.
HAHA
Guess he has long hair, though headband works in that case too lol.
@Shorne Pubique lol bruh really? My boxing coach would tell you to stop being a fucking idiot if you tried to wear a cap to sparring.
No, "douche mode" is hooking your partner while they are daping you up after you dump them.
lol people are so intimidated by backwards baseball caps these days. Not everyone wearing one is gonna bully you..
When ''In the end'' start to play, you know things gonna get real
haha true!!
Rest in peace Mr. Bennington
This is exactly the reason why I'm subscribed to you. You admit your still a human being, make mistakes and learn from them. I still think it was a really good sparring match even if abit too intense. Really impressed how you were dominant too despite the size difference (with full respect to the other dude).
thanks brother I appreciate it!
He still schooled the big dude imo.
Didn't read this and commented almost the same stuff
Bakbakan TV no I agree,
I didn’t think he schooled him big dude did pretty good and moved well. He was super athletic, I wonder the actual size of both of them.
Alex blocking shots from mount with his face, girl behind camera: good job alex lol
lOOOOL
Every time she said that I was like “Shut up bitch!” in my best Dwayne the Rock Johnson voice
Easy! Not everyone can be good at cornering like Mike Perry's new girlfriend.
Shut yo hating ass up point was he's on top
Sanda and Silat no TKD
I'd just like to point out that In the End is playing Edit: The Taekwondo guy tried so hard and got so far but in the end it didn't even matter, since he lost
haha!
Linkin park hahahah
Dude was really bad fought like a thug
epic comment
😁
it's REALLY HARD to not get emotional in Hard sparring like that. the ego, the pride,.. and then i remember uncle iroh from avatar say : "Pride it's not the opposite of shame, but it's source"
true!
The asian guy went harder than the tallest dude
@@e.s.channel722 He had to in order to keep up. The white dude is taller and up a weight class
you performed really well esp for how much bigger he is.
thanks Matt!
True. You owned him. And that was a lot of weight to give up, nevermind the reach. I think your 70% would have beat his 100%. And he was no slouch. He had great kicks, as to be expected from TKD, but his hands were also good, which isn't typical of JKD. I'm highly impressed.
You have any instructional on how you caught those kicks you were good at catching them
@@smiley-qb3nt There is 100s of videos on this
@@69ElChistoso I'd say tkd had him on stand up but that was probably his emotions getting the best of him
I think it would have been fine if he had let you know he wanted to go hard first, unfortunate that he wanted to try and catch you off guard and show off. Thankfully you were ready tho, you handled his size insanely well!
thank you bro! yeah there is nothing wrong with going hard, I spar hard all the time.
@@MMAShredded exactly exactly! Its probably just a bit of disrespect to come in and try to show someone up during a sparring sesh, I only ever went hard with people after comfortably sparring them for years
I'm a boxer. I have videos on my Instegram account. @_voyvoda
@@MMAShredded going hard is fine when you know each other and there is some trust and respect. but when a stranger goes all out on you without even letting you know first, that's just an insecure douchebag trying to validate himself.
@@hanburgundy4317 He wasn't going easy. He was going extremely hard even though he had a major height-weight advantage. Had he notified Jeff about the intensity he wanted to spar at I'm sure Jeff still would've agreed. Jeff escalated this match but he didn't start this. Also no one wins in sparring matches, it's not a fight. I can tell you're a casual lol
Jeff, I truly respect you sharing this video. This is one of those "learn from other people mistakes " scenarios . I feel like you humbled the giant in this case as well . You stay doing great and I've been using your videos as a morning workout . Much love and respect brother .
thanks for the support my man!
Who spars in a snap back? 🤣
bahahahah
CHAD
Asshat's
Lol! No shit
Lmfaaaoooi just realised
This man was significantly bigger than you and you challenged him in every aspect. This is why I am a huge fan of you, you highlight the practicality of your fighting strategy to its rawest form. Please keep up the great work, we love your content!
thanks Kevin, I appreciate it!!
3:21 that head kick was 🔥
thank you!!
Your version of “sloppy” is how I strike after being rocked in UFC 4
lmfaoo, thanks for watching!
So you are a black belt on Jesse's powerful art, huh?
Some people just haven't learned how to "flow" even after a few years of experience. They don't realize that they can still train and get better sparring without trying to "win" every round or using full power.
thanks for watching!
@Spinning Back-Kick When did I tell these pros "how it's really done"? Haha, you sound like a troll who only trains his fingers on the keyboard. I guess my comment was too vague and I should have elaborated: I wasn't talking to the pros, they should already know it is proper etiquette to start off light/technical and "flow" with people they haven't sparred before until you feel each other out and agree to go harder. There is usually also a scheduled time and place for hard sparring for experienced people where you try to "win" but it is known prior, not just done right off the bat, especially in a group class setting. This is not stupid, it's common knowledge. You're stupid if you think otherwise. "You certainly are supposed to win when someone visits your gym with a camera and a popular KZhead channel. They are both trying to win." Jeff mentions he assumed it would be a light and technical sparring session, so he wasn't trying to go hard unless he was lying? We don't know what the big guy's intentions were, but we do know he went too hard to start and hence why Jeff felt disrespected and got heated. This was Jeff's class too. I train at American Kickboxing Academy, not a McDojo last time I checked lol. Nice try though!
Proves your point? Not really. I never said both weren't trying to go hard, but Jeff was definitely not trying to go hard initially, as he clearly stated in the description and video. Did you not catch that? I still don't even get why you don't agree with my initial comment--how hard is it to understand you don't walk into someone's class and spar them HARD and try to beat them down / win? Interesting how you turn this to me in both your comments rather than make a valid statement. I'm sensing some insecurity. Also interesting how I seem to have several "likes" with people agreeing with me, and you don't. Please also link proof to these 11 fights and tell us all where you train. I'm not a pro I will 100% admit that, maybe if I was younger I would have tried to, but I spar with pros and amateurs all the time, so if you want to spar I'm good to go buddy!
@Spinning Back-Kick wtf are you even talking about dude? He was criticizing the big guy's lack of control. Jeff even said he was going into it anticipating a controlled, respectful spar and the big guy escalated it by not doing that. The vid also wasn't some guy with a big youtube channel coming in to challenge someone else, so your response is irrelevant nonsense on every level. No one cares about your "11 fights" against nobodies; judging by your comprehension, reasoning skills and apparent philosophy on how to train, it's abundantly clear that you have already accumulated enough brain damage to ensure you will never be a successful fighter-- just like 99% of people who train like idiots, getting 50 concussions a year and thinking they are gonna be a famous fighter without realizing they've squandered the potential of their physiological prime by the time of their 10th amateur fight.
There is absolutely not point of using your weight avantage in a sparring, especially when it’s to compensate your lack of skills. You should rather take this opportunity to develop your skillset while sparring a lighter opponent ? Not because of ethics but this is just the smartest thing to do. Why ? Because in a real fight, you will fight someone in your category and you won’t benefit the weight advantage.. and then you will eventually regret not having developed your skills and techniques more with lighter opponent rather than just using your weight advantage
I just love how you got to the point, where you're like: "Alright big guy. Let's see how you're on the ground." He got humbled by that. 100%
haha thanks for watching!
I'm a boxer. I have videos on my Instegram account. @_voyvoda
Big guy could have slammed him at one point though
@@houssemhmila1740 But he didnt
He was trying to bull Jeff into playing a specific game that he thought favored him.
Idk how I’m jus finding him a few months back. Now I’m consistently watching his videos and learning. Your head movement tips in your more recent videos have helped me a lot in developing my boxing fundamentals. You’re a great teacher and a even better fighter. Respect to all the guys that put their time and effort into helping us learn like this. I do appreciate it
thank you for watching :)
so great to see that you understood yourself, and pointed out your emotions. I can't stop watching your videos Jeff, amazing work!
thanks brother I appreciate the support!
So awesome of you to share this Jeff! Great lesson
thanks brother!
That Taekwondo guy gas an huge advantage in reach and weight and is quite athketic and nimble. And seems to be well conditioned as well (often big and explosive guys tend to lack aerobic Capacity). I am really impressed how you managed to neutralize his advantages and avoided his hands even though your hands were down a lot!! And your timing catching his push kicks was borderline perfect. Also very humble presentation of you. You got yourself a fan
thanks for watching and supporting brother!
Most taekwondo athlete would have nimble movements. You would be surprised if you saw my friend who is big dude moving fast as hell
Jeff seemed to have a lot of success catching his kicks.
@@philmckenna5709 Alex didn't throw many, tbf. Jeff left a lot of openings for a front snap to the jaw or a side kick to the gut or any spinning backs - you don't throw to hurt in sparring, and that's what most kicks in TKD will do. So, dude threw leg kicks and simple roundhouse; those aren't hard to catch.
@@hanburgundy4317blablabla ....... the taekwondo guy is a je*k .... and thankfully jeff humiliated him.... neither size, ego, nor taekwondo saved him
3:57 man i love how you finally punished that pattern
thanks for watching!
Good to see bjj prevails.. Very happy you finished that dude, he wasn’t respectful at all. Keep it up bro 👍🏽
thans for watching!!
@@MMAShredded 👍
@@MMAShredded btw, what brand of Shin guards are those? they look nice
Why do yo be happy for someone submmited in a sparring?
Good to see TECHNIQUE prevail! Jeff outclassed him everywhere and the guy had every physical advantage.
AKA: " the dude wanted the smoke so I handed it to him"
LOL

Remember, you're famous now. That might give someone issues or they just feel they want to prove something to themself. Then again maybe they thought you spar hard or they were a bit over excited and overeager. The interesting thing is they'll probably watch this video.
I absolutely agree. I did mention that he is a nice guy and had been very respectful every time I spoke to him. It was just during our sparring that he surprised me with hard sparring from the start
@@MMAShredded it's common in most combat sports from my own experience. Usually it's the insecure types with something to prove to themselves.
He is a coach in bali, he probably didnt like the attention jeff was receiving in his backyard and tried to make jeff look bad.
@@bryanfong1023: I have a feeling he was only a nice guy, because he was humbled. Otherwise, he would have been a dick, as he had showed during this sparring session.
@@chanandler4567 im not sure about that, some times people that seem nice are complete psychoes. They seem nice so you may lower your guard.
Definetely one of my main worries during sparring. I get emotional all the time and to give up early even in friendlier fights. I'm not very competitive, but still i'd like to show how much i have improved during these years. Thanks for being so open about yourself, you really are an excellent fighter and a nice person 🤙🏻
You’re one of the few martial artists I feel I can actually learn from and I really appreciate it
that'd piss me off too, i've had guys that came at me hard, and me being much smaller. so u r a champ for breaking this down. and the fact he came to your gym, that was disrespectful. shows lack of experience that guy has.
thanks for watching!
I'm a boxer. I have videos on my Instegram account. @_voyvoda
the black belt test, "emotional contempt"
true!
I’ve only recently started the martial arts. That’s when I found your channel. Seeing you sparring is really interesting and you’ve already taught me a lot. Seeing you tubers like you really shows that the martial arts is an endless void of knowledge.
thank you!!
Great video. It's fun to spot you using the combos and sequences you've gone over in your tutorials. Massive props for the transparency and honesty.
This guy was trying to hurt you and despite the size difference, you schooled him. Hope this brought some humility to him. Great job, Jeff!
thanks man!
Ur wrong the tkd figthir was not kicking serious a tkd fighter can break bones with kicks and he was not using other kicks
@@user-qe9mn4ol8j that is the dumbest shit I've ever heard

Thank you Jeff for your honesty. He was insecure and afraid thats why he was aggresive. Your reflektions is what makes you a great diverse fighter and i will keep up watching your process. God bless you from SWEDEN 🇸🇪
thanks for your support Aleks!
I appreciate how you have taken responsibility for your emotions on this video. I would be interested to see you do a review on this video a year later talking about dealing with these situations, especially in hindsight. Cheers for the cool videos man!
thanks Jay!
Jeff I love this video. I keep coming back to it. The way you keep control of such a big opponent.
Thanks man!!
Haha brooo the size difference is too much 😂 still whooped him 👍🏼💯
thanks coach! :)
Theres no win or lose in sparing.
@@greengreensio Dude got his ass kicked and yes you can lose to someone in a spar
@@michelleg7 i can tell you havent been in the ring or spar in your life. Sparing is for learning is not a fight. The guy didnt even go 100% on him. Theres no winner no lose
@@greengreensio oh give me a break, I am training in muay thai, sparring is about learning to fight but yes you can lose that is the whole point about sparring. To teach you to fight in a ring especially muay thai if that is what the person wants.
Jeff is an extremely humble, professional & well respected martial artist. Personally feel some other fighters might see this as an opportunity to make a name for themselves when sparring you. I thought you were well composed considering what you were capable of doing with a flick of the switch. Great job KAMA
thank you clay, I appreciate it!!
I’ve been in the reverse of this situation where I was a heavyweight new to sparring and an experienced middleweight came at me very hard and I was too emotional to be effective until the end of the round where I landed two hard shots and the coach ended the session. I don’t land shots against lighter opponents for the express purpose of avoiding injury. Even if I don’t put power behind my shots and I hit you with a relaxed shot, it still has all of my weight behind it and it can still injure smaller opponents. I got kicked in the head twice that round and it didn’t phase me because of the size difference.
thanks for watching!
This is an outlier comment
Great comment. I got my ribs sprained by a 60kg 170 cm girl and a well placed knee. I went straight to the ground. I'm 86 kg 188 cm.. Sparring smaller opponents all the time and because I'm taller (but still beginner) they feel like they have to go hard on me. Often they don't even notice my very light touching jab to say lets be playful. The solution seems to be create distance all the time. Don't get yourself hurt being too nice.
I had a taller older guy mess up my spleen on a front kick. Took 2-3 months for the pain to stop
there's so much to learn in this video, def a master class of techniques when fighting bigger opponents, great content as usual Jeff.
thanks for watching man!
I've had to deal with several people like this over the years. I'm 5'9 155lbs and it sucks when a bigger, athletic, skilled fighter feels the need to go so hard during sparring. They always need to be humbled to learn respect. I admit letting my emotions get to me a few times as well. It's hard to control, but possible. Great work, bro. 👍👍
true, you know how it is!! thanks for watching and sharing your experiences!
We're all human, and allow our emotions to get the best of us, but to take the time to acknowledge that and share it with us shows growth in maturity as a true martial artist. Great video!!!
thank you bro!!
Glad I’ve watched this video again. A calm mind in dangerous situations is a dangerous mind to have. Meanwhile an emotional mind causes errors both in fighting and out. Thank you for your lessons!
thanks for watching again!
You still maintained composure so well considering how difficult sparring is especially when your emotions are getting the better sometimes. Well done bro
thank you brother!!
The guy wants to slam you during the triangle？That‘s a bit too much
haha yeah
He got only on the top because the weight advantige too
Clearly shows his big ego. A no no for being an instructor.
yeah that was some bullshit lmao damn dude is straight up a asshole
I was about to say 'what the heck is he gonna do?' Good thing it didn't work. Thumbs up to you though even with the size difference you're still able to submit him.
I guess his leg is gonna serious hurt the next day. Good job
thanks!!!!
Jeff you are very skillful but above all always honest and respectful which shows all the martial and human values you have and convey. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from an inspirational and generous person. The guy had no respect nor moral values to behave so. Happy to see the lesson he took from you, and I believe he even deserved some harder. Keep the good work bro 👍 Warmest regards and cheers from France 🇫🇷🙏 Oss !
thanks for your support!!!
I had an experience in Taekwon-Do yesterday where it got out of control and I had to clinch. Thanks for sharing. I needed this.
thanks for watching!
Bro that's why everyone respects you. U are a real one, keep it up brother ur doing amazing
thanks brother I appreciate it!
Jeff your an absolute legend! I've been following you on KZhead for a while now and your skill and dedication still continues to leave me in awe.
thanks so much Mario!
Controlling one's emotions during a fight is without a doubt one of the hardest lessons to learn in martial arts. Even for advanced fighters like yourself. You might not have performed at your best, but you landed some great shots against a much larger opponent who had decent skills himself. I particularly liked the takedowns you used. And in spite of the size difference, he had no answer to you on the ground.
Exactly, I felt like this guy had to brute force Jeff to get him of his back. Punks like this have no respect.
Bro that dude was massive and he wasn’t untrained with his hands. You did him a favour to humble him. Good stuff man, really enjoyed the sparring.
thank you trung!
Used to spar a guy like this when I did Muay Thai. He was about 6" taller than me and a black belt in Taekwondo. He would always lead with a high kick. I finally learned to block it (or eat it), step inside and fight him up close to negate his range. This worked because a lot of TKD guys are not that good with their hands. Your opponent, unfortunately, did not seem to have this issue. But I thought you did pretty damn good!
thanks for sharing your experience! and thank you for watching :)
Couldn’t agree more. One of the best things I ever did (my main style is tkd/kick heavy) was join a competitive boxing gym. I am way more durable now and much more comfortable in the pocket.
I did tkd for years and I agree most don’t use the hands, elbows, palms even though 3/4 of striking in the sport is hands. Master Rhee pointed that fact out to me.
@@ozziejim8472 font use palms is fighting it makes you look stupid and it's ineffective
@@conesinker_4209 have u seen bas rutten palm strikes in his old fight videos? looks pretty effective to me. take off the gloves hit hard with a fist and see what happens
Jeff calls THIS sloppy? If this was food I would be proud to serve it to my mom on shear excellence alone.
LOOOL thanks Zach
Hello Jeff, thank you for this video and your honest thoughts and emotions about this experience. I learned a lot on a technical level by watching this video because my style is Taekwondo and I also enjoy Kickboxing. The training location looks amazing by the way, it must have been a really cool training camp. From what I see here, I think your opponent definitely had an ego in his behavior during sparring. He challenged you, you were right to amp it up to harder sparring to protect yourself as the smaller person and to teach him a lesson in your own class. And I think you did an amazing and impressive job doing so. Respect. Needless to say, you are a real pro. I think the snap kick style of Taekwondo did not allow him to fully pull back the kicks in terms of speed against an opponent who was willing to grab the legs as a defensive move. I think as someone who is most comfortable kicking, he needed to kick as fast as he needed to prevent you from grabbing his legs. Having said that, as an instructor, he should have had more strength control and awareness and I think he should have been more polite by pulling the kicks in the last moment to keep the kicks fast and light and just technical. Btw, not every TKD fighter is as rude and there are many of us who are really polite during sparring and during our transition to a more open martial arts style. I hope you both did not get hurt during this rather uncomfortable sparring exchange and I hope that you could at least benefit on a technical level through this exchange. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Really appreciate it :)
thank you for watching and supporting bro!
I love all your sparring clips bro, I learned a lot from those
thanks for watching!
you vids just get me to want to train, it's amazing to see a man train as hard as you. keep it up man!
thanks Amir!
This video is my first impression of you and your channel. Im going to like and subscribe simply because it takes a certain degree of humility and humbleness to not only showcase your highlight but his highlights while admitting to your fuck ups. We can only hope more of the martial arts community can aspire to be like you in that regard.
thanks and welcome!
what the hell. He is so huge. My full RESPECT to you for giving your all and you showed us what a truly skilled fighter should be. Especially for teaching us to manage our emotions and stay calm to fight right
thanks for watching!!
You did good. He knows there was a big size difference but you took on his challenge. Proves a lot.
Amazing video Jeff, I wasn’t expecting a gym war when I clicked on the video. Sparring a taller and equally skilled opponent is always tough thank you for keeping it real. Keep the amazing content coming man thank you.
thanks for watching Tony!
Idk man that big guy had ulteriormotives.. that was something emotional based on his end.. nonetheless you handledyour self like a champ.. osss
thanks bro!!
I heard a female voice in the gym, that could perhaps be a reason why maybe he wanted to be tough
@@freewill20001 Are you talking about the person behind the camera? I think that is Jeff's fiancé hahahahahah. Or if you know and are just joking, lel
@@frankyang6948 She was rooting for "Chris."
Him behaviour let me guessing if he were to see if he is real a good striker or size and modern tkd, had let him suspicion that he was far behind than the other's claimed him...
Love the honesty. Great video ❤️
thank you!!
Great sparing and great video as always bro.
Let's be honest. The guy had bad intentions. Luckily Jeff is much more skillful. This could have turned out bad. I sweated for you watching this video, Jeff.
HAHA thanks for having my back bro!
Really? It seemed like he had pretty good self control, considering his size and muscle mass i think he couldve went a lot harder if he wanted to be a prick
@@dom6915 you need to train more then cuz you have a whole lot to learn. or maybe you are the bum-fuck in the video trying to justify yourself lmao. got whooped by Jeff who is 5'7
The guy had bad intentions forsure.
vitor fogaço idk why you gotta get aggressive with someone who’s just trying to be optimistic. Even if their opinions are wrong, you’re a bumfuck for being so disrespectful for no good reason.
Man I can feel the tenseness in this sparring match. But I think he started a bit hard. It happens, some guys just go hard. Used to have a guy do that our gym. Had to tell him outright to be more mindful. Had a running joke that when you say go 50%, you really mean go 90%.
haha true!
Still tho. He is an instructor not a student. He knows the size difference. Remember this is not a competition but a friendly spar. Why dont he do that do those bigger pro guys? I bet he wont.
I remembered my coach paired me, myself as a newb with a professional who looked like he fought grizzly bears, for a thai boxing spar. And my couch said "Ok, light sparring. 99% power ok? Ok 👌👍"
yup - its definitely bad on him being much heavier and hitting hard
@@bentetv4309 i know it's a bit stretched, but if you want to see it in a nice way, maybe he thought it would've been disrespectful to hold back with someone who is clearly superior than you. Obviously he doesn't understand size advantage because i guess he never sparred someone a lot bigger than him
This guy definitely over did the sparring. He's probably the biggest Taekwondo fighter I have ever seen. He's massive, athletic, calm and very technical. Definitely an elite fighter
cheers!
hes calm?
@@TheEndIsCuming Look at the way he’s moving, Obviously he’s very experienced and has good precision
@@htxthewild5553 he knows what's he's doing but he ain't calm my dude. Man threw hard punches right to his Jeffs face even when Jeff caught his kicks. Sign of aggression/nervousness, you never want to spar someone like that unless agreed upon or if you trust em
@@TheEndIsCuming yeah doesn't look the calmest to me. Nerves definitely got to the big guy
It's good to watch, critique, and improve, but all factors considered, it looked like you were just returning the level of output. Is that how he normally spars? He's in for a short career if so.
thanks for the support! well that's the thing, it was my first time ever meeting and training with him
I'm a boxer. I have videos on my Instegram account. @_voyvoda
Yeah for sure. Kinda reminds me of motorcycle bros that don't wear hear and do stupid things.
He knew he lost when you took off his snapback exposing his hair bro 😂. Good sparring match tho, people that goes hard deserve a good hard spar.
hahaha thanks Jarren!
I used to spar with taekwondo guy. Everytime i catch his kick he push me off with his leg. I think because of their flexibility it's very hard to attempt leg sweep
Get into clinch and knee / trip sweep with superior underhooks / thai wrestling, this is what I've done with Taekwondo guys usually. They don't know how to fight from close range.
yeah they got some vicious high kicks!
@@unknownentity8256 As a Taekwondoguy I agree with this
Although I might add that clinching with that kind of weight difference is most likely not a bright idea but I was talking about my own experience.
@@Boasill That's why most Taekwondo guys decide to branch out… we get sick of asking assholes if they could take a step back so we could fight. Although the flexibility is true, when someone captures and raises your leg and you can do the splits and leg raises to over your shoulder, you're kinda thinking "so?" (and also thinking "cover your groin"). [I've accidental kicked my own head when warning up while tired.]
Man, your timing in catching those kicks is amazing. Really impressive.
I just had a talk with a friend about this exactly and I appreciate what you’re saying so much. We have approach fighting, by being firm in our own grace about the outcome of the exchange. Stayin cool, calm, and collected. Emotions are so hard to deal with because martial arts is about releasing that anger in a good way, in doses. You da man, got a cool channel dude and courage appreciate your message. Keep training and so will I 💯
thanks for watching Daniel!
I like how you admit to the getting emotional in sparring. I have done this myself, it can be disrespectful, especially when trying to learn. Still a great sparring session to learn from, you shocked him when you took him down lol I was glad to see he got humbled.
haha thanks for watching!
The shot that did the most damage in whole session imo. Some Masvidal shit 3:55 minute mark.
thanks for watching!
@@MMAShredded Of course, big fan. Keep it up brother.
Non-ideal situation aside, I found it super interesting to watch you pick up his timing and puzzle out ways around his extra reach. Thanks for the footage!
thanks for watching!
When i was 16, I was the assistant instructor for the adult class. When it was their first time to spar, it was always with me. My instructor knew I could handle the wild shit, and if I got caught with a wild punch, I wouldn't pummel them out of anger. That guy wasn't pure TKD. He had decent punches. Most TKD are all kicks, and then they turn into windmills. Pride can get us all, including me, but this was a great sparring session. Even though you might have been pissed off, I have a trained eye, and I could tell you still weren't going 100%. Neither was he, but when there's such a size difference, his whatever% might feel like a 100%. I especially like your humility. Great video. I'm a fan now! Subscribing.
thank you for the support brother!
The way mans tried to slam you when you had the triangle smh 🤦♂️. He deserved to get tapped with that triangle armbar 💪🏼🔥🔥😂
heheh thanks for watching ben! hope your staying safe
If you don't really know bjj and got inside a triangle what else would you do?
Matheus Marques Tap out an ask for the best way to escape or avoid the situation.
MMAShredded for sure bro. Can’t wait to train with you again.
Ben Fouladi Don’t act like everyone would do the same, obviously ego is a big factor in these situations.
"I TRY SO HARD! ( kick lands at the exact time the beat drops)" I swear I thought the music was edited in for a second haha*
HAHA
Same ahH
Soooo good Jeff, you have the best fight content on this whole platform, always very informative and entertaining. Much love brother, keep it coming man!
thanks for your support brother!
It's hard to restrain yourself when you feel disrespected, yet it's so natural to be competitive. There's a fine line between competition and pride, and winning for ego. Cool that you didn't apologize yet, you admitted that you made mistakes of composure. But that's why we spar and fine tune our brains and bodies right? To get better, and to be better people. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching!!
Dude was bigger and had fight training yet Chan managed to show him why he has his own class. Beautiful.
thanks for watching bro!
MMAShredded love watching your vids, brother. I learn so much and you are always so humble. Blessings always coming your way 👍🏼
This is the perfect example of size doesn’t matter. Respect 🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you for watching!
This video is making me sign up for Muay Thai 👍I love this channel.
Immediately after hearing you speak about the situation, I could tell you're a legit martial artist. Haven't even seen the sparring sess but I totally understand. Osss
I appreciate that bro!
The best thing about seeing a gym “tough guy” is seeing them get taken down and tapped out. 😂 😂 Love it
haha! cheers!
I'm a boxing coach and I get people like that often. If that was me, I would have let him enjoy some sleep. You were nice to let him go. Never try to disrespect a coach at his class, he will eat you.
haha cheers!
