I keep training hard and continue to not burn out the way I use to. I'm convinced it's this supplement because I'm not doing anything else different.
I am usually against supplements. I try to get my nutrients from healthy natural foods, which is always better. In my opinion it is stupid/lazy to make up a bad diet with supplements (taking the easy route). I do eat very healthy (oats, nuts, dark chocolate 90%, full wheat bread everyday which contains Magnesium but not that much) But I cannot add 50 grams of pumpkin seeds on top daily...it's just too much food (great protein source as well btw 32gr per 100gr)
BUT as I have heard that due to pesticides and fertilizer with high potassium content used nowadays the magnesium content in the vegetables is very low (for example 80% of people in USA are magnesium deficient)
Also I have some arrhythmia and problems and falling asleep so I will try this. Sleep/recovery is so damn important.
Will report in one of your next video how this works for me.
@@whoknows8223 it is stupid and lazy to use transportation to get places. Walk only.
Hi Gabriel Varga, I like the videos, but you got to make videos with full view instead of half, so I can see how leg and hip motion plays into it the techniques, its like your filming in your attic or something
I land left body hooks more often on taller opponents, which I guess is understandable?
Last night i literally thought of sending you a video request asking how to land body shots better. you sir are a X-Men
I try 😄
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Gabriel, as a southpaw, my body hook goes to the spleen and not the liver. It hurts less and so it feels almost useless in comparison. Should I still commit to it?
@@memevarg2530 I'm left handed so my default Stance is southpaw but if I want to land a good body shot I'll switch stances and hit the liver with my dominate hand. That's just what I do, I don't know how comfortable you are switching stances though
@@maurisauceda8388 I'll try it, I'm pretty comfortable orthodox. Also, great username.
X man
You've been putting out great concent lately! If you have some storytimes from your career please share them, would be eager to listen.
Thanks dude.
I'll try to get an episode like that out soon.
he always put great content but lately he has really been getting into deep details on stuff most of us need to see.
Oh man, it's like you read my mind, Gabriel!
I'm not a fighter but I love how articulate you are about your fighting strategies and techniques
This man is a genius, cant belive I live in a time where we can learn from one of the best to do it :D
😄🙏🙏🙏
Hey Gabriel, could you do a tutorial on a good warmup for a workout or a pre fight warmup? I’d love to get some tips from the best!
Thank you for always putting up great videos keep going with the good work!🙏🏻💪🏻
Exactly as you said, you get countered and you see no damage, you start to doubt it. When i finally landed the one that actually made the other guy buckle all my faith was restored. Its always nice getting these tips from guys at the top.
I still await this auspicious day.
@@MikeD-hn9hf You can always adapt it though, I have never received a liver punch, but... i have received a front kick to the liver, so i learned and suffered through the experience "/
Your videos are helping me progress so much faster and break a plateau.
Your channel is a gem, thanks!
Glad you enjoy it!
Super helpful. I've been practicing landing more body shots lately. This is some great advice. Gonna try this out today in training.
Have fun blasting the body
Last night …it worked! Thank you
Loving the content!!! TY Gabriel!
Great advice as always! My brother and I watch your videos and they really help in becoming a better martial artist. Boxing is so critical we really want to develop that skillset with my brother to the point he is able to seamlessly transition from setting up shots with the hands into Thai style round kicks.
Perfect timing for tonights training rounds! Thx a lot :)
So glad I watched this before sparring tonight. Thanks again Gabriel!!
My pleasure!
Well I can say I landed more body shots than ever! No joke. My problem before was leaning to the left with the pauses after the cross.
Absolutely loved that last section of the video where you talked about some details of different angles of hooks and when to use them. I’m definitely gonna try that super wide hook to get past the elbow!
Love it Champ!
I tried yesterday. It works !!! Thanks.
Been loving these technique/strategy videos very useful
Wow . Ok. Tonight . Thank you !
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks G! A breakdown to this level was so beneficial - definitely a few missing links for me provided = chance to overcome reluctance a throw it in sparring
Great video a lot of relatable topics
The most generic bot like comment
Great video ❤
Good stuff Sir, thanks!
Great stuff! The only thing I do a little different is with the body hook (or shovel hook) I tend to get my head off the centerline to the right rather than stay in the middle.
Much needed, my body hook always gets blocked, deflected, or parried and coach told me to work on my body hooks and this video couldn't have come any sooner.
great tips
Big respect to you gabriel👑🙏
Also, if I may add to help you guys - to land body hooka, use uppercuts aimed deliberately to hit the guard more than the body or head to have them raise their guard before going for a body hook (it can be done on same hand or alternating hands, learnt it from watchig Canelo)
Mike Tyson used to do that in reverse a lot hook their arms and then come up through the centre with an upper
Nice! I have to try this. I usually do a straight punch to the centre
Advice from a hegemonic beast is always approved by me 😊 thanks dude
I feel like I've landed more good lefts to the body in this past week than I did all of last year. Thank you!
Amazing to hear.
The best body shot in my opinion is when you lean to one side throwing the body shot getting them to protect that side while throwing a short tight tyson style body shot to the less guarded side
The "shovel upper cut" is actually a shovel hook.
Excellent video Mr. Varga. I wish I had more thumbs so I could give this video 4 thumbs up but instead I will say OSS and thank you. Peace and blessings to you and yours
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it that much.
I did boxing for 2 years and now Muay Thai. Wish there was a way to combine the punching, slipping and rolling but I’m Muay Thai. Almost like a Muay Thai Mike Tyson.
It’s hard as it’s very easy to catch that kind of head movement with kicks and knees. That’s why you don’t see most kick-boxers do a lot of head movements. You can see this when fighters transition to MMA. Those with kickboxing background don’t weave their heads. But in MMA, high/body kicks are less common because of the threat of takedowns. So you see more fighters incorporating head movements.
But again, if the other person’s wrestling is on par, and takedowns are no longer a threat in at least that time of a certain round, head movements become vulnerable to kicks again. Exactly how Leon Edwards knocked out Usman. You can for sure make use of head movement even in kickboxing. Saenchai does that. But then you need to be able to read and react and dictate the usefulness of moves in the fight.
I commend you on the workload you keep and how you handle it
Thanks. I'm definitely super busy right now 😄
Hey Gabriel, any updates on when you might fight again with Karate Combat? Big fan of all your videos!
I'm hoping for something in the Spring. That is the plan right now.
I like to in step with my lead left hook to the liver, depending on if im going against a southpaw or not of course.
After threes years Wednesday night I started landing good body shots and it's feels like a new world this video is gonna double that feeling I'm sure
Gabe can you make a reaction video on lethwei matches or tips to apply kickboxing style when your opponents are rushing in like in most lethwei matches.
Just throwing it out there. You can use your palm to strike on the extended hook if you are doing self-defense or using MMA gloves. Try it out on the bag a bit first and see if it works for you.
Gabriel talk about how to get past someone that has a long reach and is a good counter puncher i know u talked a little about this in the video but make a video based on just that because im good with opponents with short reach but once the opponent has the longer reach i struggle
For me personally i found that the wide body hook lands more often but the one down the middle or the wide one that grazes the front causes the most knockdowns.
This video might the difference for me. Question : how do you « manage » the front foot ? I suppose you aren’t putting it in the usual stand ( heel up , turned ) in order to have power like when we in the pocket ?
can you do a what makes somrak khamsing or samart payakaroon so good?
The magnesium supplent puts you into some DEEEEEP sleep man it's really good 👍
I always thought the way you dug to the body was very Mickey Ward in appearance but with a Dutch kickboxing twist
Could you make a video on tips for somebody who has good power and technique in the rear roundhouse kick but the lead leg is so weak and the technique is no where near as crisp
You done a video on slipping, my issue is I struggle to see when the punches are coming. Any help with this?
Anyone know if he's made a video on how to move between boxing and kickboxing range? I always seem to have trouble with when I should be throwing boxing combos versus when I should be mainly kicking or mixing it up
That would be a good idea for a video. I do not believe he has one up for that yet.
I don't have anything along those lines yet.
But you know I'll get it done. Thanks for the suggestion.
I dont think he have done that video yet but from my experience, if it’s the range where both kicks and punches can land, punches are significantly faster .
If you’re far away you will not connect punches without setting them up.
Here you should kick and use kick feints to set up your punches like superman punch.
Mixing up stage would be the former one.
You can just change level between combos but punches would be faster to connect .
But try to change it up mid combo
to take advantage of them focusing on your movement.
Like starting the combo with punches but finishing with kicks or kickinyor sweeping in between the combo.
Hope this helps
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Looking forward to it! I love your videos!
Thus is a great question! I also struggle with managing boxing vs kicking range
I have opposite problem. Body shots are so natural to me. I have mental blocks when it comes to head shots. Please help me solve.
Can you make a video about landing an uppercut?
That's coming soon.
Yup the fore knuckle body hook that is secret sauce right there ppl generally keep that to them selves!!!!
Would you recommend throwing rear body hooks? Or is it not practical for Kickboxing/Muay Thai?
I like the rear hook. If you can pull it off definitely go for it.
@Gabriel Varga Thanks a lot, Champ.
SIR According to u
Greatest mma fighter ever
Goat of kickboxing?
For BJJ?
BOXING?!
Im used to the southpaw position as a former TKD and Karate artist, should i keep going for that?
@@gamer-lt7hs sorry i wasnt clear, im right handed. karate taught me a southpaw like position, because of the quick front snap kick and the side kick. Its a style in which you hit with speed,not power, and get out quickly, so the rear leg kicks are slower and easier to avoid and get offbalanced by, in comparison.
Thanks to you I'm getting really good at living hooks. Thanks so much
Never understand why petrosyan doesn’t go after the body
Gabriel do you keep track of your online presence outside of your own channel and social media? KC's Instagram is very weird in the fact that it has used clips of fights you dominated to highlight your opponent... Both Bruno and Tommy got a post using a clip from the few seconds they landed on you throughtout the entire fight
I don't keep much of an eye on it but I have seen those. Not sure why they do that.
I like this. However much I love practicing close quarter (short people) striking, being tall and skinny for my weight class, a long hook without a major step in is probably the hook I should train the most.
My favourite topic! Since Gabriels videos fixed my liverpunch 😁👌
Edit:
These 2 videos from Gabriel did the trick for me, highly recommend!

Shut up Gabriel yes I can😭🤣
March 11th bro! My 4th kickboxing fight! I’m considering a 1-1 with you heading into the fight. Your input and energy would be priceless.
Would love to assist you with your next win. You can get yourself booked in here:
