- Many subscribers have been asking me to talk about Andrew Tate's kickboxing skills. I didn't know who he was but just yesterday I stumbled on a video with some guy saying "stacking gloves" for defense doesn't work. Turns out it was Andrew Tate teaching some kickboxing and I had to make a video on it.

Don't believe everything you see people teaching online 😄😄😄
This is going to go stupid viral. Great video Gabe, thanks for sharing bro
Little information on Tate, he has become the most googled person in the world by flooding social media with his clips. That is why everyone is asking you about him. He A lot of his credibility came from calling himself a 4x world champion. He talks about mostly about other topics besides kickboxing though.
This could potentially go SUPER VIRAL because people without kickboxing/MMA knowledge have been trying to find out. Get ready for a potential onslaught of attention.
Tate himself may even try to contact you. Not joking. He also has a massive subscription customer base of over 100,000 students. Expect your DMs to explode
But I believe you. 😌
Hey Gabe,
Andrew Tate is an online course guru who recently has gone viral seemingly out of here nowhere.
He is a borderline scammer and as you said definitely entertainer
Take whatever he says with a grain of salt.
99% of what he says he probably doesn’t believe he’s just says for clicks
Have a good one thanks for all you do 🙏
I speculate that he’s leveraged his contacts in Central Europe to have one of those infamous astroturfing bot-farms to game the algorithms.
Not like he’d have any ethical qualms, he’s essentially a slaver-pimp with exceptional PR.
Gabriel not knowing how Andrew got his money but being certain it wasn't through fighting is amazing
Tate can fight though
Tate himself said that he didnt make his money through fighting.
There ain’t much money in kickboxing that much
@@billcipher3946 no, there IS money in kickboxing. Its just that andrew tate fought in an unknown lwague who doesent make any money and doesent get any viewers.
@@bjjkickboxing7876 yeah true
Gabriel is one of the only kickboxers / fighters I can rely on to teach actual fighting techniques and insight
yeah this guy's stuff wroks
You have heard of Liam Harrison haven’t you?
@@Riot076 I'm subscribed to the man, nothing but excellent boxing
@@bebopgaming7254 how could i possibly forget
Varga is not the best out there to learn off he’s fought nobody’s
Fun fact :
Even in Lethwei, you use a guard which looks very similar to the dutch guard (Keep your hands up to make it more difficult for the opponent to land a headbutt). Even if I am not a specialist yet, I can confidently say that the dutch guard (or let's say the Dutch Looking guard) works even in bareknuckle.
Oh wow that’s cool. Do you practice Lethwei? Very cool sport
@@bryant8647 I do, and I'd love to compete, but it is still not developped at all in my country, yet.
In fact I train in the only gym in the entire country that teaches lethwei ^^

@@tasoeuwe5727 ကျေးဇူးတင်စရာမလိုပါဘူး
i thought Tate meant it like: "you cant just leave your hands there, passive, and hope for them to shield attacks", not "keeping your hands up is useless in a fight".
But after viewing the short pieces of him fighting, it does seem he thinks keeping your hands upis useless!
The reason he keeps his hands down is because his eyes are bad and he can't stand gloves touching them, i think he got retinal detachment or something. I think that's why he didn't learn how to block well.
@@absolutelynothing6008 Maybe if he kept his hands up his retina wouldn't have been detached in the first place. It would have been a hit to the head that detached it not a hit to the arms.
@@absolutelynothing6008 that's just silly as hell.
@@absolutelynothing6008 I think it’s more so him always fighting shorter opponents with less reach, he never has had to keep his hands up since he can usually just lean back or step out of their striking range. Saw a fight of his against someone who matched his height and wingspan and he got lit up cuz he kept his hands down
No need to keep your hands up if you paid an Romanian Cab driver to take a dive
“The Logan brothers” lol that unintentional burn was smooth
Logan is maybe more famous because of his exhibition with Floyd but I think Jake has developed into a much better boxer then his brother.
@@combatsportlover6919 Logan is also note respectable because he's a changed man or at least he's trying to change even if he's still a bit cringeworthy, Jake is doing it for money and fame he's not even that good at it 💀
@@remyhavoc4463 Jake may not be THAT good but he is far better at boxing then Logan. He takes training far more seriously then Logan.
@tuberculosis I still think he's genuinely trying to change but he's still surrounded by toxic people. He was a douche and he needed to change that. He learned that the hard way after the Japan incident when his "friends" left him instead of telling him "hey that's wrong" because they don't get any clout from him anymore
I don't really see much douchey behavior from him anymore except the crypto scam which idk didn't really watch any of that crap
@tuberculosis hmmmm, i guess that's true
But you can't deny that everytime he's with his brother and when his brother brings in some people, they act like stereotypical highschoolers 💀
i love how throughout this video hes just subtly roasting the fuck out of tate
Tate is wrong, but he's not entirely wrong as many think, just guarding up and expecting the gloves to work like a impregnable barrier is extremely stupid, anyone who had 1 sparring session knows that using the guard is not just lifting your gloves to your face like it would work on a video game, you have to know what you're blocking, you need to move properly so you don't absorb the impact like a dummy. Another thing people don't consider is that when they spar they're usually using 16oz gloves, its totally different to fight with 8oz gloves or 10oz like they do in boxing, not only because its harder to guard up but also because the opponent is also using a smaller glove, there's so much about defense in kickboxing and muay thai that after years I still think that its easier to learn how to strike than it is to defend properly.
All spot-on. 🙏
Also, fighting at 205 lbs is different than Gabriel fighting at 145. I respect Gabriel, but I really thought he would acknowledge this. Gabriel made a video about a fight he had against an opponent who was good at cutting weight. He said that his opponent was 20 lbs heavier than him in the fight and went on to describe how that weight difference made the fight much harder than usual. For example, Gabriel said he had his tooth chipped because he forgot to put his mouthguard in between rounds.
I think this is enough evidence to demonstrate the point honestly. I do respect Gabriel's expertise in fighting and youtube content, but just go look at UFC heavyweight / light heavyweights vs light weights and you can see the difference in the brutality of the knockouts and overall damage done in the fights.
@@Dirkzy but a 205 fighting a 205 is essentially the same as a 145 fighting a 145 bro.
Weight classes are obviously very important, but the overall point here is that Tate is basically saying NEVER guard up, and all the bizarre crap about breaking bones etc. 🤭
Of COURSE anybody just standing there with hands permanently stuck to their temples is an idiot, and isn’t gonna last long in the ring, but to completely dispense with the Dutch guard, and other tight guards is just utterly moronic.
The best defence is to not be there when the strike comes, but nobody can do that every time, hence why guards are absolutely essential.
(Ask Usman, because his simultaneous parry and slip got him KTFO...he’d probably still be champ if he’d just opted for a tight guard for the last minute of the fight) 🙏
@@paulpelle3046 you couldn’t be more wrong 205 is like inevitably 6’0+ && 145 is like always 5’7 lol… everybody knows heavier weight = less technique & more brute strength.. lighter fights are world of a difference in technical fighters… also this dude fought forever ago … different game, probably coulda gotten 8-9 belts too if he tried
1000% defense is a much more tactical thing to learn than striking imo.
Love this.
When a 6x world champion says "Who? Never heard of him" to your name and you are putting yourself out there as a pro fighter you should be humbled.
How is he a world champion if he ever fought the best competition
He has a loosing record in glory...
Ah yes, Andrew Tate, the self-described “4 times world kickboxing champion” that none of the elite kickboxers have ever heard of… 😄😂
@@suspendedtwice4sayingrasis261They asked Adesanya too back in the day and he never heard of him in his kickboxing days
@@donchi1234 I know, they asked Adesanya and others as well. 😄
Gabriel literally says enfusion is super legit as a promotion. Tate was a champ in enfusion. Also, peep the iska belt Gabriel has proudly displayed in the back? Tate was a champ there as well.
I''m always sceptical when someone talks in absolutes and declares "such and such will never work" there is a use case for almost everything. This is a particularly bad example, it's not always the best defensive strategy sure, but it is useful, and you can easily find plenty of footage of high level pros demonstrating as much. More than anything I hate the way he demonstrates it, wailing on his training partner who is clearly just standing relaxed, he might have his hands up in place but is clearly not bracing at all, feet completely parallel. Abusing your partner like that to prove a point or make a clickbait video is what really shows him to be a complete tool.
Indeed. Excellent comment, and depending on the context, even with mma gloves one can implement somewhat of an active shell guard done correctly.
Petr Yan is one of the fine examples of how he utilizes and implements parries/long guard/ shell guard with head movement and mixes between them and adapts the tactics accordingly to the overall context of the fight.
“ Everything works once”
“ Fighting is relativity in motion, therefore never expect only respond as it one’s opponent within context that dictates tactics”
Your second word is "always". This is kind of a common sceme I couldn't help but notice in people who say that they don't like absolutes. Most people who say they don't like something oftentimes miraculously Start liking it if it helps there standpoint.
@@patmanpatmanson Fair point, there was definitely some hypocrisy in how I phrased that and I could have done better. Doesn't invalidate the statement however. Skepticism is generally a good stance to have.
It's a useful guard.But I have allways found that people that use it as a there primary go to stance the easiest to beat . It makes there jab to slow and you just bounce in and out on them at long guard . It's so easy to see a punch leave from that guard you just pary the shot with your outstretched left and bomb your right into that hole and leave .
Or smash leaping left hooks at the liver and fire right in as they react to the body shot and leave .
When I spar and see o this guy uses high as primary I'm probably gonna find this easy .
I never get using it out of elbow range personally .
@@patmanpatmanson ... no? that's not the same thing at all. they said they're always SKEPTICAL, which can very incredibly easily be true without being hypocritical. have you forgotten that one can hear something, be skeptical of it, but then end up coming to the conclusion that it is actually good advice in that time? that isnt an absolute declaration at all. the only thing absolute at play is that they have a reaction. how about looking before you leap next time and thinking for more than a few seconds whenever you see the chance to play the "enlightened centrist" who has actually just failed to consider basic implications.
If you can catch people's attention, you can make money. Andrew Tate is a clickbait master, he knows how to imply something outrageous without outright saying it. This way, he has people arguing against his POV, as well as people defending him ("he didn't really say to not keep your guard up"). This is how he gets the biggest amount of people talking about him and stays "relevant".
Varga '' Enfusion is a decent European promotion and Tate got knowkedout there ''

@@Iron_Willed emphasis on decent and really I feel he give it too much credit no one in Europe cares about fighting sports
@@Iron_Willed Tate lost the Enfusion championship tournament to Franci Grajš in December 2012
Your estimation of his skills is exactly what I thought. He swings wide and chin is often up. I think his saving grace is probably a modicum of punching power, but yes sir definitely "so-so".
Yep. Looks like he hits very hard.
Power can take you decently far.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial I prefer the technicians like yourself, sir.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial you're a clout chaser. Fight him if you think you're right.
His point was exactly about street fighting. Boxing high guard is useless. It can be used, but head movement is more important.
Anderson Silva is the greatest striker of all time and he always had his hands DOWN, and when he blocked he used Wing Chun style blocking with several mini fakes to confuse and discourage his opponents from head hunting..
In bare knuckle a shelled up opponent who doesn't move is going to get a kick to the face, and he's not going to have large fluffy gloves to cushion the blow. Silva and Tate have the right idea, moving is better than blocking
th-cam.com/video/PE1HBO36aQQ/w-d-xo.html
@@dab0331 gabriel is better striker than silva what do you mean
@@infinite7254 lmfaoooooo... right
He peaked at the bottom of the barrel of kickboxing promotions. I'd say not to take him seriously.
This is why hate the term "World Champion." It doesn't mean anything. You'd only truly the champion of the world if every competitor on the planet in your sport and weight class were to compete in the same promotion, on the same bracket and you managed to come out of it number 1. If you didn't do that, then you're simply the champion of whatever organization put on the fight.
@@baxeto2595 It works in boxing where basically WBA,WBC ,WBO belts are the ones everyone is competing for but when you win a random ass belt with like 10 people competing for it and calling it world champion is hilarous.
He literally has the same belts your god has you dump
That's still impressive
@@dylananderson6906 it is when compared to your average joe and amateurs, but once we are talking about "world class" or "elite" fighters then the specific organization you compete in and at what level does matter a lot.
ISKA cruiserweight tournaments are not the same as a glory title you know?
Look at all the Andrew Tate fanboys rushing to his defence. He said something extremely dumb guys.
In the name of all Kickboxers, thank you Gabriel! 🙌🏻
Bro he's a marketer not a fighter he's 3-2 in MMA and his kickboxing record are bums I don't know about his life advice but his striking advice sucks
y
e
His life advice is pay him to make yourself feel like an AlPhA mAlE, from what I've seen. So, you know, somehow even worse than his striking advice 🤣
yeah hes a shill on steroids who sells a shallow view of manliness to poor slobs on the internet.
Where you seeing these records from😂😂😂
Finally someone came up to talk about this guy, media calling him world kickboxing champion when apparentely the only title is a full contact amateur in ISKA. Barely any videos, no official record anywhere, blows my mind how you can create a hyped up character nowadays, dude is making a lot of money selling bullshit courses for delusional kids.
Tate himself is a delusional master of self promotion. In the same vein as Dan Bilzerian.
Theres clearly more footage your obviously trying to run with the agenda he's fake kickboxer but if you look properly he has few full fights on TH-cam old n newish ones
@@lukefury8162 Not denying he fought cause he did but call yourself a guru and world champion? So based on that few guys at the gym are also world champions cause they won multiple WAKO tournaments.
@UC_2dfDVDDA6HCrNgA1LrZNA do you have links for the championship bouts? Ive been trying to find but only few which is world if you have a belt of a major organization like that, if can send some here would be cool! Cheers brother
he is a 7 time world champion in kickboxing. It is official matter not something one could just claim to be randomly.
Reminds me f that old Jim Carey karate instructor sketch.
"It doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about."
"I was the 1986 karate world champion"
"I just looked it up. Chuck Norris was the 1986 karate world champion"
"Yes he was. There were lots of us..."
🤣🤣🤣
Andrew Tate acts like he was some world champion in Glory or something lmao
Right? Dude was fighting bums
There is so many people that believe he is a high level world champion. It’s ridiculous.
he is 7 time kick boxing world champion
@@OfficialMirellaVevoHypetysTili you dont know a thing do you?
@@OfficialMirellaVevoHypetysTiliin which promotion?
You’re taking his word too loosely he’s literally saying head movement and footwork is more beneficial then blocking which is true you can’t just block you still obsorb a lot of the damage
That’s what I got from it. Not that high guard is useless but how you need to keep moving, etc or you will still get your ass kicked. High guard is def important but you cant just go high guard and tank everything. It almost might help that he’s tall as fuck and doesnt need to lean on high guard as much .
You mean he took him to literally.
@@totenfurwotan4478 The only reason he hasn't had to use a high guard is because he's never fought a decent opponent. The one time he did his lack of defence got him knocked out
That's not what he said though, he said it breaks your hands and doesn't work. Get off his nuts homie! Or don't! Do you!
@@jamtime4978 there is. A strong possibility that is why, I find a good high guard absolutely critical to fighting inside as well as baiting opponents. It is literally the first thing my boxing coach teaches as he believes if you dont know how to protect yourself properly you shouldn’t be boxing yet.
Points taken Gabriel. But all that you can teach me is how to be on the lifelong path of mastery of my chosen martial art. Tate can teach me how to be a high level top G dog overnight! You can teach me how to get my kicks higher incrementally, correctly, slowly, over time. Yes, I'm doing the drills! But Tate can teach me how to do TH-cam shirtless, while smoking cigars, all while wearing sunglasses indoors. Can you do that?! No, I didn't think so! :) Thanks for the great content brother!
😂
Gabriel isn't even trying to do that.
@@Red-wh3ok its a joke
Thank you someone needed to say this.
Thank you for your time and effort Mr.Varga
I love your down to earth approach😂😂
Have you ever considered doing a video with Icy Mike? Both of your excellent fighters and excellent teachers lol And I think your personalities would match up very well!
I've taken countless lessons from both of you and applied it to my own training and have improved immensely because of it!
Really appreciate your channel and what you do. Unfortunately, the best of what they do, do not always get the necessarily recognition. Wishing you continued success on TH-cam as you have in your pro-fighting career.

Totally on point
I've seen a lot of people in my life who were quite confident in their error, and they get followers simply because they speak authoritatively.
I KNEW this Tate character is a joke, but I didn't expect THE Gabriel Varga to actually roast this guy :) Man! I am going to sleep really well today, I am happy.
Gabriel inadvertently gave him props. he said enfusion is an extremely legit promotion in this video not knowing Tate was the 90kg champ in enfusion.
@@stephencox8723it's a legit promotion, but that's about it. Enfusion ist mid-tier.

It worked for me one time when I was in Korea. A larger man attacked me unprovoked, and in Korea it would have been illegal for me ot fight back. I simply used the Dutch guard, his punches landed on my forearms and I was able to walk away from the altercation with minimal injuries. Didn't know if he was trained but he was still larger and stronger than me.
I woulda slept that big idiot i donr care
Love the Bazooka Joe shoutout 👊
Gabriel is the best. this guys advice is so good, and Im a fighter myself and done Martial arts 15 years. Keep on Gabriel! Ur advice i use
Hmm. just to address something you said. I dont mean any disrespect but I won a national championship in kick boxing in my country and there isnt any footage of me fighting on YT. Back when I used to fight there was no smartphones and the fights were televised at weird hours. Kick boxing was really not that popular when I was a pro and it still isnt now.
doesn't Tate Claim an *International* Championship though?
@@MusMasi Thats true but back in those days unless you're fighting at K1 there wouldn't be much footage. I'm just saying that If I became a pro nowadays there would be plenty of footage from the gym and all the sanctioned fights. Back in the day unless you paid a professional tv crew to come to the smaller fight there wouldn't be any footage. I am roughly the same age as Tate but I lived and fought in Poland, maybe it was slightly better in the west?
@@numerounotg ok, i mean even in New Zealand and Australia we have filmed fights not even for national championships, i guess its different in different places, though poland is bigger in terms of population maybe kickboxing is not that popular there or you do not care about filming? Even our local club amateur rugby and league games there is some filming, we even had time to study film, even now with kickboxing/muay thai we get footage to look over, at the amateur level.
@@MusMasi I guess it was much different. Football and Boxing were always very popular in my country but with kickboxing unfortunately it was the completely opposite.
Badr Hari who's one of the biggest names in the sport has huge chunks of his kickboxing career not filmed because a lot of promotions just don't bother or uploaded to some now taken down website.

Thanks Gabriel. I saw this too and was very sceptical as nearly all fighters cover up at some point. Appreciate your honesty!
Hey Gabe There’s a reason Tate doesn’t use the high (Dutch guard) he has detached his retina multiple times so he doesn’t use the high guard cuz he’s worried he’ll hit his eyes and have to get surgery again. But that doesn’t give him the right to go out and tell people to not use the high guard
I wonder how he got those detached retinas
@@notproductiveproductions3504 th-cam.com/video/HBHQnqRHs8Y/w-d-xo.html
He had a surgery done on them apparently. I think in the clip where he is covering his eye he lost the bout because of it. He didn't want to risk getting blind.

since years i watching all your stuff and fights your are just amazing 👍🏼💪🏼💯
Even with small/no gloves the guard is world class it just changes to forearm/shoulder blocking vs glove. See Alistair Overeem, Petr Yan, Gaethje, etc.
This is a very interesting video espcially since Reynoso trained guys, Canelo, Oscar Valdez, Julio Martinez, etc. have all been getting exposed for their over reliance on the rigid high guard and how easy it is to exploit. I guess in Kickboxing it's much safer but if all your relaying on is shelling up it's probably not a great idea. Cedric exploited the high guard in his fights against Holzken through pinning the lead hand and jabs to keep shields up, perhaps if Holzken had a more layered guard game he wouldn't have been so easily controlled?
Nicely said Gabriel :) appreciate you and your content! have been improving my health a lot since discovering your channel
Totally agree Gabriel, thanks for sharing, Osu 🥊
He fought in a league called iska which is a small British kickboxing league ,tate wouldn’t last 1 round with guys like Izzy or Perreira they fought in class A kickboxing..Andrew is a C class fighter
why would you even think that he deserves to step in a ring with Izzy or Pereira and get punched by them? a local kickboxer from my town can knock him the fuck out.
You deserve much much more subscriber Gabriel.
yeah but Gabriel does not pander to angry disillusioned people or stirring things up by purposefully saying controversial things just for them views.
It doesnt matter wether someone was a kickbox champion or not, the reasoning behind the arguments needs to be sound for it to make sense. Thinking Dutch Guard doesnt work with the reasoning given by Tate is indeed factually incorrect, and it baffles the mind that someone who stepped in the ring could even say that with a straight face.
His entire personality is saying stuff he knows is bullshit with a straight face, see his content on women, dating, money, business etc
To be fair to andrew he hasn't fought a good kickboxing fight in years
It’s just awful advice or poorly explained advice. If his argument was “you can’t just rely on shelling up to defend yourself in a fight. You have to learn how to move properly to succeed” then that would be a different story.
@@isaacalzate8262 he is retired and he made sense. I know people especially beginners who close their eyes and keep their hands up. Tate is right from where he is coming from.
@@seizonsha If thats what he meant, then sure, but its not how he phrased it.
Hah love the shoutout to Bazooka Joe’s channel! Between your channel, Joseph Valtellini’s, mmashredded, and my own gym, I was well prepared for my first fight 🙌🏼.
Love your content so much knowledge.
P. S Your sub count has rightly grown. Think I've been following before you hit 20k. Keep em coming
I been telling ppl andrews sucks at fighting and they all just say “he’s a 4 time champion” and I’m just like bro he’s a champ in terrible organizations. I support him and a lot of his opinions on life but he’s not an elite fighter.
Just look how uncoordinated he is lmao. He punches like a girl 🤣
I wouldnt say the high guard doesnt work it definitely has its place and the nuances are underutilized but against a crazy hard puncher its not ideal to stay in that position
Bare Knuckled you can also break your own hand as well punching someone, I have had people break their hands even hurt their whole arm and shoulder as well from them punching me in the head and I was completely fine, I only hand time to tuck my chin, I guess I do have a coconut skull though, thats something you should think about if you are ever going to punch someone bare knuckled.
What do you expect the guy fought in the 140s, hes didn't have to deal with light heavyweight+ power at an elite level. I fought at 205 and I sparred a national champion his size and accidentally split the guys nose and lip with a light jab. Light heavyweight + is a different sport with different strategies. I can also 100% say you do not want to use guard against a heavyweight kick, your arms wont stop a thing. Thats too much power and speed, just move away.
@@wabbagaming2184 that's only your experience.
@topher nolastname Amen.
@@wabbagaming2184 why not keep your hands \up and move away? i have seen light heavy weights + save themselves from KOs by keeping their hands up to help absorb when they get caught, its better than nothing, you do not really gain much by keeping your hands at your sides, it does not give you more power in your strikes nor makes it faster to hit back, or easier to counter.
it works i may not no much but i do like watching boxing and kickboxing also mma. i like your channel i think its really reliable for educational study for combat sports !
Thanks for the Video
To be fair, I'm pretty sure he has a couple of ISKA belts like them ones behind you?
yeah. this dude clearly hates andrew and even intentionally misinterpreted what tate said.
Against world class competition not Tate
Yeah, in a kickboxing context it's totally true, guarding up works extremely well, look at someone like Robin Van Roosmalen who Varga fought. RVR has one of the tightest high guards in the game and he dominated so many people.
Same with Holzken! And masvidal and petr yan!
I have even seen it work in MMA with those tiny gloves
It works in kickbxing because of the kicks..due to kicks the range is different and so is footwork..due to fear or kicks and knees it's harder to come in for body shots .however the downside is that it can make you lazy and the guard should active not passive..
He got his ass whipped by Petch tho it was satisfying to see. Made him look like an amateur.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 patch is a beast tho no shame in that
THANK YOU!!!
Always straight to the point Gabriel lol
You buzzing for Nong-O vs Liam Harrison? Will you do a prediction video
Are you saying that the overwhelming majority of kickboxing coaches, or coaches from other combat sports for that matter, who have never competed in high level pro competitions shouldn't be coaches, or did you just mean they shouldn't put videos online?
Depends on how they teach.
he's saying you shouldn't trust bald retards that are full of shit
True, a good example is cus d’ameato, but like with everything there’s always anomalies
When I saw that clip of Tate, it pissed me off to no end. Using a proper high guard is actually a very technical thing, and requires a great deal of defensive awareness to correctly roll shots. I actually thought of you, Gabe, as a prime example of an excellent high guard, so it's funny to see this video.
you are obviously not very intelligent, it's very clear in his video that he isn't saying that high guard is useless but that you can't stay still with it.
He is obviously right.
You cant see his points unless you in a fight lol i agreed with him covering your whole face with the guards is not for me , well i do keep my hands up but moving and guarding at the same time so i wont fully takes the impact he not saying its uselesss lmao
@@shhh._6645 I'm an amateur kickboxer, of course I know what I'm talking about lol. I've done tons of hard sparring rounds, and if you know how to roll a punch, an educated high guard works well.
Look at Canelo, or Marat Grigorian, or literally any Dutch fighter
@@tatejutsu4027 you are obviously not very intelligent to give that much credit to Andrew Tate of all people. He was selling the high guard the way TV commercials try to shit on ordinary items to sell their products.
Funny video😂😂Your reaction was nice 🙏💪💪👍
Spot on.
You do us Canadians proud. Great channel.You always. Edited because I thought that I wasn't subbed and was telling you that you've got one more sub now, then realized I had already subbed :P Keep'em coming brother.
Thank you for speaking on this.
Thank youuu, i dont usually comment but i felt like i was going crazy seeing people talk about how great this guy is an no other martial artists are telling people what this guy is really about.
So nice you mentioned Bazooka Joe. You and Bazooka Joe are whom I watch everyday
i saw a footage of him sparring and saw he threw like 5 lead hooks in a row, no feints no follow up combo just straight up 5 raw lead hooks and he does it multiple times, and then i saw ppl in the comment section saying how good he is because hes a world champ like wth
It was just a sparring, he was playing, you can't judge his fighting skills based just on that, + he was a kickboxer, not a boxer, they don't use that many feints as boxers do. If u can threw 5 lead hooks in a row without a set up, you do, Roy Jones did that many times beacuse he could, of course Tate is not a high level boxer, but he surely can fight and knows how to fight. I don't agree on what he said about high guard, but only if you ar talking about boxing, without gloves or with mma gloves that doesn't work, look at muay thai fighters in one fighting championship, they fight with mma gloves, but muay thai rules, and they changed their styles completely because of that.
@@Gaddafi_71 being a kickboxer makes throwing unrealistic combos like that extra bad ngl
@@bababoi8872 Again it was just a light sparring, judge him based on his fights, and you ignored everything else i wrote, chosed only one sentence to disagree with me. Can I ask, do you have any personal boxing experience? Because fights and sparring are completely different and you don't seem to understand that.
@@Gaddafi_71 fr i didn't read anything past your first sentence, i cant care less about having an arguement with you, still the sparring part sounds fair ngl
@@bababoi8872 You are a funny guy😂
I have to admit I did not watch your career through kickboxing but was lucky enough to find your channel on here and I have the utmost respect for you
Great video and fair, honest commentary. Another example of why I watch your channel daily.
While on the subject of trainers on TH-cam, do you know MMAShredded Jeff Chan? I don't know his fight record but have watched a bunch of his sparring clips. The two of you sparring would be super entertaining.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, we'll be watching.
New subscriber champ!!🔥⚡
Dutch Gaurd is sooo good. Its not just a gaurd on the top. Its on the stance, balance
It might be his style but for a short stocky guy like myself it’s perfect. Dutch kickboxing is my favorite style. Also if you’ve ever watched any of Tate’s opponents they all have gamer body’s. I believe he’s a cherry picker
Which is better k-1 rules or dutch style kickboxing.??....
The look on your face watching him is hilarious.
Hi, love your channel. Quick question anyone can answer for me, I'm very new to Muay Thai. I have seen the Howcast video on roundhouse kicks clipped at the 0:09 mark. What is wrong with how the instructor taught it? I'm a bit confused, would love some. Any feedback would be appreciated.
So glad you made this 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 THANK YOU
Dutch guard has worked well for so many champs idk how anyone can take that guy seriously lol
Anderson Silva is the greatest striker of all time and he never really relied on boxing high guard. It doesn't work in MMA and street fighting as well as constant head movement and Wing Chun style boxing where you do several mini fakes to discourage your opponent from head hunting
@@dab0331 keeping your hands up helps blocking hooks and if you get hit in the head mma gloves or not it is still way better than getting hit without them and its a style btw so both hands down and up have their perks and downs but to say one is better than the other is stupid
@@dab0331 and using to much head movement could make you slip right into a head kick in mma/kickboxing/muay thai
I had the same thought when I saw him bring this up
Gabriel this is great man! It’s literally dangerous a lot of these guys spreading techniques to naiv beginners who trust these people and train mainly on heavy bags and some light sparring here and there where you can get a way with alot of terrible mistakes. And even get the sense that they can protect them selfs and they’re learning self defense. When really they have no idea what work and don’t works. Try those matrix stances and guards in hard sparring.. hard sparring is where you get the reality of what works and don’t work. But then again you should spar hard at times and also with people who are roughly your same level and have an dialogue with when your a novic first years of sparring. But personally I believe when basic skill is learned hard sparring is a must for anyone wanting to real self defense or compete.
“..when you just…” - it’s a 15 second clip. I interpreted this as you can’t rely solely on shelling up. You turn yourself into a punching bag.
Thank you..I think this guy just took an opportunistic chance to dig at tate..I mean sure Tates a loud mouth and probably has the most punchable face in kickboxing...but he's not wrong ....aside from the breaking the knuckles through the gloves thing idk about that one
@@skriptak6308 Yeah that knuckles thing is kind of sus. MAYBE with 8oz or smaller gloves but still I doubt even that
And whats funnier is that the clips he is showing of people doing what tate says NOT to do in order to disprove him are people getting destroyed by their opponent lol
@@senseithomes Right? As a boxer, the high guard is the first thing my coach taught me. For the first couple YEARS, I would shell up and come in and took a ton of damage ON my guard - and I'd argue I developed some CTE + PTSD from it. Tate says, ".. you can't JUST shell up.. ". I think Gabe took this as an opportunity to make a video. Gabe isn't wrong, but good defense is knowing what defensive skill to use in each particular moment in a fight.
@@skriptak6308 he's clout chasing.
He KNOWS Tate is legit and is a world champion. He's just acting stupid
He never said to not keep up your hands, he just said that when a punch comes you should defend with your head movement and by using your right hand to take power out of your opponents punch.
he literally said that keeping your hands up does not work. he’s saying that it’s useless when trying to protect yourself. that’s simply incorrect and not true, especially when literally every boxer of any kind uses the high guard. you tate fans are on massive cope. advice like that isn’t good, especially when almost every coach is going to advise you to keep your hands up and teach you the high guard.
@@bozotheclown666 he said that keeping your guard up and depending on only that as a form of protection doesn't work. You NEED to have head movement.
@@user-ie5sb5gy6q nobody’s saying that you don’t need head movement. he didn’t say any of that. he said that keeping your hands up does not work, that’s wrong, plain and simple. even what you’re saying he said is wrong, guys like winky wrights sole defense was the high guard and rarely was he slipping and never once was he knocked out.
He said that your hand will break ....
@@bozotheclown666 if you really understood what he said, what he’s actually saying is you can’t just stand there and shell up. He never said it’s completely useless.
Hey Gabriel, you mentioned bareknuckle briefly. In a bareknuckle fight, how can you use this kind of guard effectively?
The arms go up higher than with gloves. The palm of one hand touches the back of the other hand, you place the palms above your eyebrows and your forearms cover the face.
this is really refreshing to see after seeing so many high level fighters (particularly from the UFC) giving Tate props and claiming he is a legit high-level kickboxer just for the clout/attention they'll get from him
ive seen so many fights where dude's literally blocked whole ass kicks from MASSIVE men. i never understand the "blocks dont work" mentality, i swear its like some overcompensation from people who used to do karate.
Yall are taking things way too literally, if you go and watch the video he actually teaches the guy how to defend, tells him over and over to keep his hands up. Y’all are slow man 😂
Also you can't just block all day in a fight.its still doing damage but less when you block
@@bestkickz2464 This ain't about keeping your hands up, this is about framing your gloves against your head to absorb a blow. that's the thing that he claims will break your knuckles, which is ridiculous
@@gentlemandemon yes if you stand there like that to defend, that’s not the only way. You move as well, not a choice but both. That’s why he talks about Floyd so much and kind of adopted his style.
@@bestkickz2464 that's cool, but it's not what I'm talking about. of course there are other defenses, each having their appropriate place. But him saying "never shell up" is bad advice.
Also, if he's trying to imitate Mayweather's boxing, then he's doing a crap job at it.
Gabriel great video brother 👍
awesome video Gab 🥊🥊👍🏻🙂
Thank you, Gabe. From the very first day when I heard about this dude, I looked on his instagram where he has snippets of him fighting, I knew instantly that this 4x world champ is crap, the level shown in the videos was miles off you guys(the elite - glory fighters). Thank you for keeping it 100 real, u are the real G❤
What the fuck you talking about how fucking stupid you are dude google him he actually is 4x worldchampion there is video proofs and everything lmaoo😂👋🏼😭😭
Indeed
I just know damn well that Gabe will beat Andrews ass in a kickboxing fight 😂
No way in hell. Andrew is so much bigger. Varga fought at 145lbs. Tate fought from 179-200. Tate would sleep Gabriel. Size and power make up for their difference in skill.
@@stephencox8723Nah, i don't dislike Tate but i do not see him winning against any decent Glory fighters let alone against someone like Varga.
@@Weda01 Tate literally fought for the itshowtime title at 85kg in 2012. That’s the year itshowtime was purchased and had its name changed to Glory. That’s why Tate vs Paraparyan is on Glory’s TH-cam channel. also, weight classes exist for a reason. Varga fights at 143. Varga is 5’10 143lbs. Tate is 6’3 187 most likely 200lbs on fight night.
itsshowtime doesnt have the same fight pace and volume as glory @@stephencox8723
*Andrew Tate saying the guard dosen't work*
Nieky Holzken: hold my beer...
It's amazing how precise everything in it's mastery, is. Scrapping. All the versions of hand to hand combat. Precise action. He's not putting into account a Wing Chun, Tai chi for arm shield guard where you don't Just have your hands up. They're up, they're flexed, they're moving with the punches creating a glancing blow while you keep your eyes focused on the opponents chest. All the minor details you don't need to point out to be a TH-cam coach/former champ. It's amazing. You can make fun of one specific thing, get attention required and be the star they are in their current state of concious awareness and connected reality.
If your hands are up but forearms flexed and focused on all action and the precise timed response reaction trained on pads or sparring counter, reacts perfectly through pattern recognition. Drills work. All types. A flat head. A power drill. All of em work.
Andrew shouldnt say shit about defense when hes been knocked out before. Not saying he cant fight at all, but hes not as good as he thinks he is.
