Seriously Gabriel, I'm at a small kickboxing gym and am progressing much much faster than the other students. Thank you for the information you give here. Your channel is pure gold.
I'm not even in a gym lol. I'm just trying to learn on my own, and while I can't really put any of this into practice, I feel like I know way more than I did before
Nothing wrong with being in a small gym, but it is important to have people your own weight and height, as well as more experienced fighters that can challenge you on any day
@@ChickentNug I was in the exact same boat until I found my current gym. It’s awesome having people to train and spar with. It makes everything stick so much faster. Great job getting after it by yourself!
Are you even human ? How can you pump out so much good content !? Just please dont get burned out Gabriel, just remember we all will wait for your videos if you need a break or anything
It's not just about how hard you hit, but how smoothly you can dodge. Episodes that focus on defense like these leave a lasting impact. Thanks a lot for the awesome content Gabriel.
I was just thinking I needed to work on my body defense! Thank you Gabriel! I’m a newbie mma fighter and my striking is so much better because of your channel!
As a second chapter athlete. Mean that I started my training and Muay Thai at age 57 I'll be 67 next month I find your information in the valuable. I'm not at the school where I started kickboxing of Long Beach. I'm in Oceanside California trying to find a good school. I love you tutorials, simply great videos. More please! This is Larry Jack Wiley.
You know you are my coach im living in poor country in africa simple gym i have no coach or pad holder or what i have only your channel and when i meet other fighter from onther gym i give them a lesson and after that they can't believe i only watch your videos thank you so much
I can no longer get to a boxing gym or any martial arts studio. These little follow alongs are keeping me sane. Please do more boxing focused solo drills involving head movement and blocking! They're invaluable!
Great video. I am a JKD instructor, and I find your videos so very helpful. I have incorporated many of your punching combos and blocks into my arsenal. Thanks!
Great content as always! We can be that effective in blocking if we could see all the punches coming at us, therefore we have to be calm and relaxed, definitely easier said than done.
Gabriel Varga, I am also VERY interested in your doing a full tutorial on this/your style of defense. I use this myself like I mentioned, and you're one of the ones I emulated when forming my style all those years ago, esp for your defense. I wanna see you do many more videos on this form of defense. I have found it HIGHLY effective in my own sparring; Keep it up please! Those of us who train, and who use your videos as a reference for our training and technique drilling, will be very pleased, just like I am with this current video I'll greatly enjoy any and all future ones about this same subject! keep it up man!
This was really great. I did some sparring this weekend and it was quite apparent I was raising my elbows too high to block the head shots. Took quite a few shots in the ribs. These tutorials are soo helpful, great to have some drills to do at home. Keep them coming please!
To be honest this video came exactly at the perfect time. I just had someone comment on working on my guard so this video was really useful :). I always have felt that my guard was a bit awkward so a more in depth video on the topic would be much appreciated
Sir i just want to say it is an honor i’m so grateful for the content you post you have been the only guy i’ve watch i haven’t even made it into a gym A guy who never tried kickboxing now falling in love with it i do every day now 💪🏾 i have a solid routine i built myself all thanks to you… Thank you so much
Love your content Gabriel. Have been doing Muay Thai for about a year and have used many of your tips in sparring. Would love a video on improve on anticipating and seeing shots coming at you from opponents.
dont think too much about minimizing the damage just go with the flow dont be scared to get hit and dont stay on the back foot, and remember we all get caught sometimes so do your best to have as much fun as possible best of luck!
Loved this tutorial, would also really like to see one where you go into kick defense, sometimes I don't see a roundhouse coming until it's too late so I would like your tips on how to look for those
As always Gabriel your content is impeccable. I just wanted to know how do you personally defend punches from taller fighters that sneak through to the top of the forehead?
Kinda an esoteric topic, but can you make a video on how to make reads effectively? I like this defensive content, but how do I know that a jab cross hook is coming?
Hello Gabriel! As a fight fan of yours and a subscriber to your Channel could you possibly do a follow-up tutorial on defensive covers and blocks with the smaller gloves used in karate combat in contrast to the kickboxing gloves now that you're competing in both. That would be very helpful please and thank you
@@thomaskoon8208 I don't exactly know brother? I'm pretty sure Varga signed up for karate combat a few months back and I'm not sure what he's doing for kickboxing currently? All I know is he is an exciting fighter and I've seen him compete in kickboxing and do very well and now we will see him do karate rules! I'm not sure if he has competed already in karate combat or if he his debut is coming up? Perhaps these are questions for the man himself.
Make sense you sayed we need to not let our back fully straight so is that the only reason? Because sometimes our coaches tell us to make our shoulders in curved way.. I am not sure if I described it accurately but why they tell us to do that?
You are releasing these instructionals too fast. I can't keep up. I'll try to finish this and the head movement video at my gym tonight if I don't spar
Please keep going along these lines, this is perfect to drill basics for a tighter shell. Maybe do posts and footwork on the full version to incorporate this boxing defense into kickboxing

Ok what about dealing with MMA small gloves how to have a good defence and to protect the face?
Nice!!!
Kinda an esoteric topic, but can you make a video on how to make reads effectively? I like this defensive content, but how do I know that a jab cross hook is coming?

Yes I will make that video and give you my thoughts on smaller gloves.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial awesome brother thank you very much! You are one hell of a tough kickboxer and I wish you luck and karate combat!

Can you make a video talking about range?
Cool new haircut
Yeah? I chopped it myself.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Turned out good. Reminds me I should get one, too

Ooo this is a big Weak point of mine
Would Love a füll tutorial
I'll plan on getting it done 👍
I hope today's session is a good starting point.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial yes dir Sure it helped thank you
