Gabriel a quick question/request, would you mind covering a head movement pattern or drill when you are not engaging. Moving your head in a certain letter shape or something you like and find works for you. Can't get my head around it literally and figuratively 😂
2:51 This is a suuuper important aspect in fighting taller opponents who have reach advance. You need to slip and move forward with a small step and close distance, where you can reach them with your punches and they cannot. First reflex is to back off and don't come forward, because it is scary. But if you don't come forward and just slip evade backwards, you have won nothing on ground and no offense going. They still have the long range they want where they can reach you but you can't reach them!
oh the striking while utilizing head movement is something i caught and knew important in your videos before this video actually... and i try to apply in my shadow boxing
I have a big head , super long torso and short legs so it made head movement a real pain for me , but not nearly as painful as getting my giant dome cracked all the time. It's easy to ignore stuff like this but it's so worth making it a habit . It's awkward at first but when your body gets used to it it's not bad .
Great timing on this. I was just thinking of how to work on this yesterday, so I'll definitely be using this to work more preemptive head movement into my own training 🙂
Bro I fucking love this dude, always puts out suitable content whenever I need them! I literally wanted to learn about head movement and his upload came just in time!
do you implement rolls in muay thai/kickboxing rules? how do you feel about slipping strikes such as kicks and knees? should i preemptively be in a crouchish leaned forward position to move my head easier? thank you coach
1.) you should implement rolls carefully, try it in sparring if you train, if you dont record and post. 2. you cant really slip a knee, its ment for your body 9/10 and ive never seen a knee to the head be slipped i recommend against it 3.absolutely not. The only people who can constantly pull of that type of counterpunching are anderson sliva and other high level slick fighters, and even he got knocked out one or twice doing it
@@ahmadday64 thanks for the advice. i have a good understanding of head movement in boxing however i took a break from training before i was able to implement it effectively in muay thai.
I just have question about Conor mccregor physique... he's physique and movement is unique and i wonder how he had that "loose" in his body. and there is something in his body i cannot describe but i want to achieve and have something similar... to be honest as like his joints are just separated something like that
His former’ mobility coach’ Ivo Portal may be the answer. Another reason why McG used to be much better than he is now.All I know about Ivo’s approach is that resting squats and dead hangs are fundamentals to him. You should research Ivo Portal.
This is actually something I started doing on my own after watching videos of Mike Tyson shadow boxing. I have only added this kind of preemptive head movement to two of my Combos because due to my lack of experience I didn't do to well while that up close and I wasn't sure how to effectively move out without getting hit. Do you have any tips on how to distance myself from my opponent without having to clinch?
gabriel should i join fight sports i love to fight but i am very much concrned about brain injuries and cte i have a mother and i want to take care of her all she has is me . i am hesitant because of her . please tell what should i do
@@geraldfriend256 man i love the ring i love the fights and i don't lose a single.of my ametuar matches and don't get a single rocking blow on head i think i can fight like a pro but i am scared about cte
Gabriel, you showed how to use it, but the video that doesn't feel complete without saying in which situations you can use a slip, or slipping outside vs slipping inside, orI feel like ( respectfully) you could have cut the drilling a bit yo focus more on the topic of slipping
Hey Gabe I have a question. Since you have talked about fight purses in your channel before I must ask that's almost always overlooked whenever talked about potential earnings and that's taxes. How are taxes like being a professional fighter?
Unfortunately - income tax is income tax and it is around the same as if you are paying income tax in any career. Some countries such as the United States just take the tax off right away before giving you your purse.
What should the next follow along training session focus on???
Gabriel a quick question/request, would you mind covering a head movement pattern or drill when you are not engaging. Moving your head in a certain letter shape or something you like and find works for you. Can't get my head around it literally and figuratively 😂
Strategies on how to attack and be offensive according to the type of opponent that we are facing would be really really interesting
Thoughts on Raymond Daniels officially signing with Karate Combat?
Footwork - create angles
How to overcome that stupid reflex to quickly shell and close your eyes when others come super fast with pressure

Added to my camp 10 days till fight night
Good luck in all the prep and fight 👍
@@GabrielVargaOfficial th-cam.com/video/vTo4D6fr8l8/w-d-xo.html
Good luck in your fight. At the very least I know you won't get KO'd while attempting to get close and land your combos
Good luck bro wish you the best 💪
Good luck man, fighting June 10th
Preemptive head movement.
That is genius. Thank you friend!
Shane fazen gives a good slipping technique by bending at the knees and try to think about touching your opposite shoulder to opposite knee
Your content is consistently valuable and well-explained, thank you sir!
My pleasure!
@@GabrielVargaOfficial what’s your location I’ll fight u
Varga is the best!!!!
Won silver at the provincials tournament last weekend and your videos helped out so much! Thank youu
Congratulations!
A video about head-movement in southpaw v. orthodox stances would be awesome.
You're technique is truly beautiful to watch. A teacher with very rare skill, thank you
This one is gold. My first favourite attack was the drop off centre line and go for the body shot. I will work on this for defence!
Thanks brother
oh the striking while utilizing head movement is something i caught and knew important in your videos before this video actually...
and i try to apply in my shadow boxing
Awesome video. Thanks Gabriel!
remember watching Adesanya vs Gastelum and kelvin slipping striking closing range real effectively despite being the shorter fighter.....
Thnx brother like always
Perfect demonstration of the technique :D
I’m gonna add it into my practice tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful technique & awesome explanation..can you teach how to start the rhythm in fight?
I have a big head , super long torso and short legs so it made head movement a real pain for me , but not nearly as painful as getting my giant dome cracked all the time. It's easy to ignore stuff like this but it's so worth making it a habit . It's awkward at first but when your body gets used to it it's not bad .
This is great! I've been blocking punches with my face for some time trying to do slips.
Also it's a great tip for the shorter fighter.
Thank you!
Happy to help!
this channel is like having your own personal coach in your corner (who is a world champ fighter)
Very well explained. Excellent, thank you.
Great tips. I'll try to do this in sparring too
Great timing on this. I was just thinking of how to work on this yesterday, so I'll definitely be using this to work more preemptive head movement into my own training 🙂
i tell ya, my girlfriend could also improve her head game,
HEYOOOO
this content is super super many thanks brother!!!
i even didn't see the video yet but i know how good it is from description
Bro I fucking love this dude, always puts out suitable content whenever I need them! I literally wanted to learn about head movement and his upload came just in time!
Thank you so much!! I needed this, especially before my fight at the end of the month. 💯👌
This is an exceptional video. Thanks bro. Really helpful 🙏
Hey Gabe, I just saw the news that Karate Combat signed Raymond Daniels. Whatcha think?!
Hey love your videos. I am a boxing channel as well so find this really interesting!!
Great advices, but for such lessons it would be great to see you legs and feets too.

3.absolutely not. The only people who can constantly pull of that type of counterpunching are anderson sliva and other high level slick fighters, and even he got knocked out one or twice doing it
another thing, keep your eyes on your opponent while slipping, dont turn your head. also never go stright back unless its against a high kick
@@ahmadday64 thanks for the advice. i have a good understanding of head movement in boxing however i took a break from training before i was able to implement it effectively in muay thai.

Welcome
Are we suppose to only go at 45 degree angle without twisting our hips while throwing jab, or we should go at 45 degree angle and twist our hips?

Btw it became my common practice, both on jab and cross, i've slipped so many punches and landed mines straight to the point of the chin
W content
🙏
When you say round kick, do you mean like Leon Edwards kicking Kamaru Uzman?
Really appreciate, you are a super clear teacher! Can i Ask you if Is possibile to see the position of your foot too? 🙂
I will be planning on upgrading my filming space this year. Then I'll have the whole body in the shot.
Right now the zoom is to small for full body 😦
@@GabrielVargaOfficial if you do that Will be absolutely Amazing! And you already give us Gold lessons! Thank you 😄
Great video but if possible please make the footwork visible as well!
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it

Be smart. Trust your gut if you have long term concerns. A very dangerous game for young men for a short span.

My Thai trainer says that head movements like this are a bit dangerous as they immediately invite head kicks. What do you think?
Let's goooo !!!
Excellent content always brother, very well explained, thanks!
My pleasure!

Hey Gab, is this head movement intended for open stance or closed stance?
Gabriel, you showed how to use it, but the video that doesn't feel complete without saying in which situations you can use a slip, or slipping outside vs slipping inside, orI feel like ( respectfully) you could have cut the drilling a bit yo focus more on the topic of slipping
so maybe a part 2?

@@kvarga9164 What about when doing tax claims? What things are eligible for claim
gonna practice this
slips are my weak point
Julia Pena inspired? Lmao
