wow that nutshot looked super painful D:
Also those blows to the head when you were on the ground, do hits like that knock out your concentration for a while? like huh what am i doing wtf just happened. How do you keep ur mind on ur gameplan when that kinda stuff happens.
Also this might be silly (i know nothing about fighting) is it ever useful to just like roll away when on ur the ground maybe surprise him and put some distance between u two for u to get back up?
Also once ur on the ground how do u get up O_O looked nearly impossible.
Definitely post more vids in the future i wanna see you win!

Damnit Jinro you are so badass, I thought this would be about you watching your first MMA fight for some reason since the Jones vs Teixeira fight was today. Keep it up man, such a competitive spirit!

I havent competed in fighting for a long time but I find it fun to try and analyse anything.

0:48 never turn your back to your opponent except for specific techniques such as a spinning back kick. Even then many people say don't do that.

Your opponent clearly has some TKD skills, pretend he is a siege tank and you are in minimum range.

3:09 think about your clinch grip, your opponent is getting out of it by bucking like a horse.

3:45 you didnt see that coming youtube slomo speed is so useful.

5:17 you're scared, your shoulders hunch over into a standing fetal position of fear. think about a jab here. because he is doing a weird tkd technique where you extend your forward hand while side kicking his torso is exposed. fuck it, throw your shoulder into him and take him to the ground if that's allowed in your rules.

5:35 if that actually connected, nice hit

Later he takes you down in the same way, and if the gloves were off the fight would end there. Practice that part of your fighting.

Ground shots arent as bad as they look. Shots standing are much more powerful.

And getting up, its a little trickier with upkicks banned but the reason it looked so hard was
1) I was so tired in my arms
2) I couldnt see properly because of the headgear. You see me reach for his legs a few times but I actually was reaching completely blind, the noseguard was blocking my vision of everything below his hips. Very confusing haha

5 17 is actually me going into a horrible habit of thinking im floyd mayweather and can shoulder roll punches.
5 35 im not sure how well it connected, my headgear sort of blocked my view. You can see me try to get it back in place right after.

3 45 actually happens a ton to me when sparring and im tired anf go for that horribly executed trip with no setup haha

Your take down skills are a severe weakness. You need to focus and practice them a lot; defending and executing.

You're a pretty good striker though. I liked some of your hits there.

Now you made me want to start training again Good luck in your next bout!

Im usually pretty good at defending takedowns actually (singles and doubles, worse vs clinch tds as you saw), I have excellent balance. My takedowns are super shit tho.

I feel like my biggest problem with takedowns is timing and I feel slow when I try them which is probably related. Imma work that part hard next few months.

You didnt get to see it but my double leg is truly horrible xD

wow that was awesome!
I noticed your hand speed in comparison to your opponents seemed a whole lot slower. I don't know how important striking is in MMA fighting but it seemed almost like you weren't used to the weight of the gloves (14oz is training glove weight right?) and your hands just couldn't fly as fast as you wanted it to.
5/5 looking forward to the next blog!

I train in 16 oz a lot when sparring, its more because of me being tense. He was more loose and had better technique.

First reaction: holy shit you are buff

Watching the match: I was fascinated by the footwork. I was a fencer for ~10 years, and I had been told the movement is similar in boxing, and I saw it here too. I guess all combat sports have a premium on fluid motion and quick reactions and therefore gravitate to the most efficient motions

I probably ought to refrain from commenting on your performance since this is the first MMA match I've ever watched, I'm sure you're getting lots of actually accurate feedback from people who know the sport

Jinro fighting! (literally, lol)

Its funny you say that, one of my coaches always tells me I move too fencing like which works better for boxing than mma.

Hey Jinro, just want to say I really like your passion for things. Many people here are all talk and really don't get much done.

You really follow your passion and I think that's really cool. I hope you keep doing well in the future. Please keep us updated, hope to see you win some nice fights in good time! Cheers!

It's because the bladed stance of boxing/fencing leaves you too vulnerable for takedowns.

Truth. So badass seeing someone actually get in the ring. Puts all the keyboard warriors into perspecitve. Jinro tru warrior.

I'd love to get into shape enough for this. I got plenty of friends who train, several of whom have had local fights, so i've really got no fucking excuse.

Yeah its definitely one of my weakest attributes, exacerbated by being a bit tense.

Thanks, actually getting to do this whole starcraft thing sort of gave me a more "fuck it, lets do it" attitude haha

Hi Jinro!

I rememeber some time way back I was playing SC2 and I was in diamond league. I was just playing some ladder games and then I go into this ZvT. It was on that map that had like 4 bases in the corners. And each base was close by ground to another base and close by air to another. I think the tileset was like pale cave tiles or something like that. I notice my opponent's name was "Jinro" and I was like "fake Jinro?" to which my opponent replied something about it being a new account. Then he proceeded to rape me with hellions. A couple of days later, I checked his profile and he had a bunch of custom games against Korean players and shit, the ones you were playing against on stream and I was like "holy shit I played Jinro in a ladder game" I think the tourney you were playing was the one where you got that really big nuke against Choya or something. Maybe that wasn't it, I don't remember. Man, this memory seems like it was an eternity ago.

Anyways I just wanted to say that I was a fan always when you were playing SC2 and, for a first fight, that looked pretty damn good. Good luck man, that shit looks like so much fun! Jinro hwaiting~

Have HuK give you a few wrestling pointers

Congrats on going through with it, not many people actually pull the trigger on stuff like this. Your opponent is pretty jacked, was he a lot shorter? Could you take advantage of a reach advantage generally?
