One big recommendation I can give you for your content is to show footage of YOU doing this in your fights to back up your explanation. I think that'd go a long way to engaging the audience and allows you to show it in action as well as demonstrating it clean. You breaking down your own fights etc. would also be highly compelling.
He has done that alot and has breakdowns of his most recent fights from just a couple months ago. You should watch them
Based!
I've had a really hard time sparring against my shorter partners so you made this in perfect timing for today's sparring
Spam check hooks, teeps, jabs +jab feints (straights in general), clinch+knee once they are in infight.
Try using a long guard. Might sound fancy, but just holding your opponents forehead with your extented lead hand will mostly do the job (not only keeping him at distance but you are taking his vision with it too).
If they come rushing in in a straight line while ducking their head in a double guard I meet them with a hard right uppercut while taking a step back with the rear foot.
I for my part love infighting even though I am quite tall. Maybe you should be getting good at infighting so you won't have a problem once it gets into that range.
@@whoknows8223 I have been working on infighting but it definitely isn't my preferred distance
Your videos are always so articulate and straight to the point! 🥊
Perfect. That's what I am for
Don't waste time
I’m trying to make a whole playlist so I can learn to kickbox but it’s so hard
@@eggheadchris9859 you cant learn to kickbox from vids alone you need to go to a kickboxing gym
Crazy how I’m fighting a smaller opponent tomorrow in my mma debut and the goat Gabriel varga come out with this video
4:34 good point
Great advice 👊
Your channel is fantastic. The Alex Perreira video was recommended to me, but I had ignore it. Luke Thomas then referenced it on his show and it compelled me to watch. I'm now very engaged with your content.
Beautiful video, thank you!
Gabriel, when are you going to sign with One Championship? You would be a great addition to their roster.
This information is gold.
Great video Gabriel.
Don't have the habbit of leaving comments, but I'm working on it. You channel has been really influential. I do karate and your tips have really improved it in making it more practical and less "sport karate". This vídeo is an example of that. Thank you.
Great content 😊
Is it me or is Gabriel looking jacked?
Lifting weights now 😃
@@GabrielVargaOfficial how much do you bench?
👀
@@GabrielVargaOfficial It'd be awesome if you did a video on what weight exercises you like the best for kickboxing.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial uuuu some strong karate punching inc! In your high guard/counter style strong punches will be perfect!!!
How about Pivot Rght off the rear leg direction?
Brilliant!
I swear to God you read my mind, I was being too static in sparring today and looked up muay thai foot work and you posted!
Ah this is just great. I was talking about this in one of my latest training sessions how I need to have more movement and pivots when I do free mitts with my teammates. Often we just stand infront of the mittholder, perform our combo or singles and THEN move rather than have it included in the actual combo.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Found your content super useful. For today’s video on red flag 🚩 martial art gyms, I have experienced situations where owners/coach being very slack off and basically lack of discipline (ie open the gym whenever the want to), and I was thinking hmm… who actually wants to learn from people like that? As a martial artist? Role model for kids?
Also when I was training chinese martial arts, cross training was commonly viewed as a sin. Imagine your biology teach says that you can take biology and math class together, always found cult like behaviour and egocentric thinking amusing. Have a lovely weekend
Thank you!
Ur knowledge helped my kickboxing life .. thanks coach
Glad to hear it
Do u have a instagram page sir
Good stuff.
One fight I think would be good to take note of is Mayweather vs Gatti. Mayweather used some pivots the other way, to his right (counterclockwise) quite effectively in that fight.
I feel that distance matters a lot. Also what you're planning to do. If you're just maintaining your distance and jabbing you don't really need to step. That's a good way to disrupt rhythm. You can mix in foot feints before stepping and cutting when you want to go on the offense. It works very well if the guy can't figure out your timing.
Nice! Good explanation of all pros. Works well in boxing, though not as much in kickboxing etc.
One big Con: The body moves though the front leg not really at all…. Great moment to kick their front leg when your opponent is pivoting. Pivoting has risks and should not be overused with opponents that have good inside low kick technique and timing.
Keep making awesome videos! You are entertaining and educating!!! 🤜🤛
I think it’s a little shortsighted to say that the pivot to cut an angle doesn’t work very much in kickboxing when we have a multiple-time kickboxing champion describing when he likes to pivot. It was also used constantly by MMA fighter and top-tier striker Jose Aldo throughout his career. Aldo was a damn good low-kicker himself, and we have evidence of him using pivots in pretty much every fight.
Plus, pivoting the way Gabriel shows presents the shin to an inside low-kick anyway - it’d be an outside low-kick that such an angle is risking, but then you should try to avoid the timing of that anyway. And you can just as easily shift both legs back and pivot to the other direction for a grounded check, which Aldo also did to great effect (there’s a whole breakdown on another channel when talking about Aldo’s calf kick defence).
But hey, it still is a degree less effective with that threat in play. Just maybe not as much as you seem to be suggesting here.
Love it
Yo Gabriel do you ever plan on doing film studies ? Thanks 🙏
Please do a video on cory sandhagen or mighty mouse
good instruction better,still using a partner for the demo.cheers
effective
I like pivoting on the recovery from a switch kick 🙂
7:30 so hard for me to do in real life . Bag easy … mostly when one is a « straight liner » style /(
I wonder what percentage of the offensive moves and attacks that high level competitors like Gabriel Varga use in a fight are combinations they have practiced over and over again and what percentage are reactive and throwing something when they have "target acquisition" and see an opening.
I'm just a recreational hack and I think I only use memorized combinations 10% of the time I spar. Usually to try and get the sparring partner to react or to set up something else. The other times is instinctive. How much should one be relying on memorized combinations like#3: jab-cross-hook?
And what is the best way to practice throwing instinctive combos outside of sparring time? Shadow boxing? Heavy bag?
Conor angles well
Just started some very light sparring at my gym, this will work wonders (and hopefully I won't eat 100% of everything people throw at me😂)
It’s crazy : I love the ring but don’t like to hurt people. Still don’t know why I do that kind of training (except from the fact that I’m keeps me at peace ).
How often do you shadowbox how many minutes is enough to maintain good stamina
3 x 3 minutes at the beginning of sessions.
If that's all I was doing for a workout I'd add sprint rounds like 30 seconds on and 30 off
We’ll explained
Thanks.

I watched the vid linked bellow just earlier and it feels like it is a perfect vid to show some of the many uses of pivoting for striking to move off center line or while already off the center line.
