SBG Training videos..

john kavanagh

will put a few SBG style training videos on this thread to give people a look at our training methods and also at our shiny new gym

Aishling training for Am MMA 5min round of shark bait. no head shots as its preparation for amatuer mma. worth noting she did this after 1 hour clinch training followed by 2 3min rds of boxing and 2 3min rds thai with just 45sec rest in between rounds.

no need for expensive padded suits just controlled sparring this type of training is great for pushing yourself and getting a feel for what its like in a fight while remaining safe.

gymrabbit

good work. she looks like a good competitor.

JohnMc1

Great stuff.

dlofnep

Nice setup John. That's some warrior spirit right there!

Upload more vids.

Millionaire

show some of the strike training too! looks great!

Aisling!

I can't believe you put that up, whatever happened to consent John?

Roper

Nice job Aisling, and good job today too.

On another note, Clive looks slick in that video... did you do something with your beard Clive?:)

gymrabbit

What Straightblastjim in that clip as well. I saw Ian_w of course.

you obviously didn't read your 'sbg membership' form very closely...:D

gymrabbit

If Aisling was <18 we'd have a very interesting legal battle here. I say more videos on SBG method.

john kavanagh

:rolleyes:

dlofnep

JK, anymore videos of your guys training?

I'm selling them to your opposition.

But really, it's cool to see how everyone else trains.

SBG Warm Up

when numbers are small enough i like to use these circuits for warm up.

john kavanagh

SBG Iceland - right click, save target as

big file (about 30megs) but very well shot video - not so sure about the 'arty' bit at the end lol but if you met the boyos it'd make more sense

heh! I thought it was quite good until the end where the shark came out and the karate bashing.

Love the Iceland vid. Wasn't even put off by the fantasy karate part. Fantasy karate bugs me as much as the next man.

Great to see that Matt's organisation is attracting such clubs. Great stuff.


...:Shane wanders off dreaming of the day he'll ever have enough money to be able to afford that much gear for his place...

dlofnep

Do you train much with kettlebells there John? it's hard to make out with the footage if they are or not. Could be just a dumbell. I'm planning on getting a pair. What's your thoughts on kettlebell workouts?

john kavanagh

no dumbbells, but would like to get some in the new year

i think they're good.....but you can do most 99% of what you need to do with a (much!) cheaper set of dumbells and/or a barbell.

they are going through a fad stage at the moment and i predict most people who buy them will end up sticking them at the back of their garage gathering dust with the rowing machine/abs machine/ab roller etc etc

dlofnep

Ah ok, I'm getting some gear for christmas.. If I can do it all with a dumbell, then no point wasting the money.

More videos please

Roper

Sweet video for the Mjonlirjo... the mjorni... the mornihoi... the Icelandic gym. I like it "The ground is my water... and most people don't even know how to swim"

john kavanagh

its a famous jean-jaque machado quote. yes those flurgen gurgen guys have a sweet set up

Roper

Not that famous, I didn't know it

I had my decent camera with me tonight just in case Fred Astaire was there again. Very dissapointed I was... I'll have to catch him again in the new year.

paul moran

Good thread this John!

We have a similar warmup when we have the space (without the comfort of the padded floor and walls) but could do with one of those timers with the load buzzing (or was that a fire alarm;-). Where did you pick it up?

Re: The Kettlebells. The medicine balls with the handles are just as good. And multi-functional!

Surely you mean the best thing you ever bought apart from the ultra cool Hawaiian shorts with chicks in bikinis, volcanoes, dinosaurs and ukeleles (that musical thingy)? I've told all the UCD guys about that!

why Matt still use the word jeet kune do on some of this dvds? (I ask with respect).... I though he moved on from JKD?

john kavanagh

well like all these terms 'JKD' means different things to different people. for matt he means it very much in the philosophical sense of 'use what works' - for others it means 'do exactly what bruce was doing'

and you are of course right colm

yes of course. I kinds guess that was the ideal. JKD "Concepts"

The JKD I am learning right now, is the very last version of JKD, that Lee did before his death. Basically all the wing chun is gone, and 95% of the trapping is gone. its not as far as I can see, not too different from boxing, when you come to the hand technique, except there is no jab...its a Straight Lead, which has KO power. This is how boxing greats of yester year Jack Dempsey boxed...Straight Lead. anyway its something I am working on, and will working into the great muay thai scheme of things... learned some great boxing from the JKD already... its a good balance, as I have to think about it...as opposed to my morning daily ritual of full power shins into thai pads!!!!

HammerHeadGym

A straight lead punch sounds intresting indeed. Anyone have any experience testing this in the ring or simlar crucible?

kenpo_dave

Gerry, we also use that lead straight in Kyokushin Budokai, though we also have a jab too. Theres been so much added into Budokai from various systems over the years that its pointless to even guess where it came from.

OSU.

HammerHeadGym

Hey Dave,
do any of your guys use it regularly in competiton or on the street/door/whatever? if so, do they report any success?

Taiwan-Evo

Great video, very funny.

Nice gym too!

To be honest I havent heard any feed back, but its generally practiced alot more than jabs. Almost every strike in Kyokushinkai aswel as Budokai is delivered with KO power. The whole theory behind the striking is that you are there to knock your opponent out, not to do semi contact, and so the technique behind the strikes has been developed for maximum power. Though thats not to say certain tactics dont require less power.

Roper

Just spoke to my Da and he reckons in boxing terms theres not much difference between the old straight lead and a good hard jab.... and he must be a hundred by now.

I'd like to see the mechanics of this as opposed to a good jab. From my experience of martial arts that have co-opted "boxing hands", they don't do it very well for the most part, so a lot of technique gets lost and misunderstood. Could it be that this is the case here as well?

Thats interesting.

For reference to Straight Lead...Teri Tom got a book see amazon.com

and also old book Championship Boxing by Jack Dempsey.

Dempsey (and JKD too) talks about proper foot work, falling/drop step when doing lead, punching to full extension with VERTICAL fist, this move packs serious wallop.

I cannot do it properly yet...as I am only learning. however I see massive potential in it, to nail a thai boxer in the kisser right in between the guard.

I am studying the Teri Tom book to learn the footwork.

WWII Combatives has similar ideals for chin jab from in close distance (where most street fights happen) with falling/drop step to make max KO power.
