I hope you take a few weeks to test out at least a few of my methods to improve cardio. I think you'll notice a dramatic improvement if you do. GIVEAWAY! Enter here: vy.lc/449370gcqcs
Cardio to a fighter is like gas to a car, you need it lol. Gabriel can you do a video on moving during sparring or a fight? Like is it okay to bounce or use the pendulum step to get into range?
Since I started taking Gabriel’s advice about 2 and a half years ago I’ve been on a 5 fight win streak and 3-0 pro with all finishes. Thank you for all of your knowledge Gabe
@@Drod7 3 months but only cuz I’d been wrestling for 10 years. My striking was terrible and the guy had five fights already. I still took it to him and got the win but I definitely should have trained at least six months
Now these are some amazing tips for cardio improvement Gabriel, I have all of these checked on my list, except 30 seconds rest time, to short the rest, and I had checked the hard training, and shorten it out the training, cause even the short workouts, can push your cardio, to the next level, thank you so much, for making this awesome video Gabriel!
I will give my own tip, I use the principle of Guy Thibault. He wrote a book ( in french) that I fallow. As a hobbyist athlete ( below amateur) I reach 75 vo2max. A stupid high number. Page 60 on sport entrainnement cadio sport is the golden nugget. Add with little things for the page ( on the others pages) , you will the best cardio out there. I reach a level so stupid at the end of my jui jitsu class, I felt just warming up... this book change my cardio training
- Shorter rest time - Harder cardio sessions instead of longer cardio sessions - Change routine often to breach plateaus & surprise your body - Relax when you’re not on the offence - Do things out of your comfort zone/ that scare you My tip is don’t be ashamed of pushing yourself to the limits and don’t feel discouraged if you vomit after exercising like you gave it your all
It's funny you say that for 5, because I just had a fight last Saturday and i was stressing over my opponent who was bigger than me and had more experience, i had him in the first round but since it was a point kickboxing fight, I guess I got comfortable and it left me winded during the last 2 rounds. I also have a training partner in my muay thai gym who is around 140 lbs and 5'5 or 5'6 but when we spar he barely puts in any strength, it's all technique and it scares me because the impact stings. It does help since I manage to take on the others with more aggression afterwards. Solid advice.
I comment extremely rarely. But, I must say that your channel is absolutely great about little details and you passion for the sport/martial is unmatched. We love it \^_^/ From France 🇫🇷
OKAY, so how is it possible to read my mind for the last 3 videos? I'm not even kidding, yesterday as I was training I was like "I need to search more of cardio and it's science" and now you come up with a whole new video? Man I can't believe you do this all for us to have it for free.. wish I can meet you sometime and thank you in person
On the smaller rest, what our coach has us do is either ten pushups or squats between pad rounds DURING the one minute rest. You can either take the pushups easy and have basically no rest, or knock them out hard to get that 30-40s. Either way, you never actually get the full minute. It makes the pad work really feel like a gauntlet, you feel so gassed and out of shape. But then I do other work on other day and suddenly realize how effective that was.
Great tips, thank you sir. I really appreciate it. It is definitely frustrating to spar and then feel like your world is ending because you can't catch your breath. Scary too. Going to remember to implement these, much appreciated.
Sir Gabriel, I feel stamina in Hard sparring is different to any intensive training. Everytime I got hit hard I feel the fear and it stress me out a lot more than just hitting pads hard.
Train your breathing muscles. I do it with Bas Ruttens O2 trainer and its so little investment (5-6 minutes a day) but helps a lot. Plus its very easy to do. Youll notice imorovements very fast (3 weeks)
Hi Gabriel! What workouts do you do that scare you? You mentioned you have 3 that scare you on the drive over. Great video as always! You have an uncanny ability to release a video on the exact topic i have been wondering about lately
1 thing that was like a massive massive and free fast cardio boost for me, was quitting nicotine. May be a tips for someone! Night and day cardio difference, no joke. Also your last point, tabata assault bike comes to mind haha
@@ahmedalp3531lmfaoooo how can u actually believe it, when it’s been proven over and over that smoking damages ur lungs??!? which obviously is gonna make ur cardio suck
Where you look when watching combat sports do you look at the distance between two fighters or what because i tend to focus on one fighter when watching combat sports please teach me how you can see both fighters at once when watching fight?
If there's good cause to suspect conditions like heart issues, asthma or other issues, yes. If we're otherwise healthy and don't normally have issues with our heart or breathing, there shouldn't be any risks involved in working on our cardio unless we're idiots going about it.
'Do things that scare you'. That's literally every combat sport practice for me. I am NOT a natural fighter. I don't really have combat instincts. I do this for self-defense and because I like the sports I do. But even light sparring scares the hell out of me. I'm not outwardly panicked, I'm not closing my eyes, but I'm still tense, afraid to take hits, afraid to hurt my partners accidentally, that kind of thing. It's very visible on the videos as well, and something I'm trying, every time, to get over, but it's extremely difficult for me. Honestly, I'm glad I'll never get into the ring for real. The idea of having to fight someone who's actually trying to KO me is frightening. I'll stick to fencing and keep kickboxing and boxing just light and for fun.
Fantastic topic as always, Gabriel. I'd like to add one thing, every now and then compare yourself with someone who is relatively new and realize how much those gruesome training sessions has paid off. It's a great motivation to see that reward.
I hope you take a few weeks to test out at least a few of my methods to improve cardio.
I think you'll notice a dramatic improvement if you do.

How long did you train before your first fight?
@@Drod7 3 months but only cuz I’d been wrestling for 10 years. My striking was terrible and the guy had five fights already. I still took it to him and got the win but I definitely should have trained at least six months
Man now I wanna know what ~5 minute or so exercise/training exactly makes Gabriel Varga dread doing it
I’m sure that video is coming.
hard sparring?
400m sprints
shark tanks are the worst for me personally
Shark thank scare me

More great advice! Cardio is king! Thanks, Gab!
This video is gold. Thanks, coach

Sir Gabriel, I feel stamina in Hard sparring is different to any intensive training. Everytime I got hit hard I feel the fear and it stress me out a lot more than just hitting pads hard.
Maybe try instense pad sessions with short break and have the pad man Throw shots with shin guards and hit you with the pads

Putting my comment here in case he answers
Great tips! Really need to improve my cardio- thanks

İt is placebo effect. Smoke doesnt effect your overall cardio
In that sir, you are wrong. @@ahmedalp3531
@@ahmedalp3531lmfaoooo how can u actually believe it, when it’s been proven over and over that smoking damages ur lungs??!? which obviously is gonna make ur cardio suck
@@ahmedalp3531
Are you saying smoking doesn't affect cardio?
@@sungear what i am saying is if you are smoker and cant quit, just dont think about it. Doesnt effect as much as you think
Where you look when watching combat sports do you look at the distance between two fighters or what because i tend to focus on one fighter when watching combat sports please teach me how you can see both fighters at once when watching fight?
Thank you Gabriel
Really great tips champ 🏆🏆
Can you tell more about this circuits? I see a lot of boxers do that,
Thank you
Best channel
Hey gabriel could you make a video on wich gloves you recommend?
Have you tried Buhurt? That may scare you.
Buhurt is fun. It's why I decided to get back into shape.
Not much technique to be had, just big armored men smashing other armored men haha
@@eddard9442 If that's what you believe, give it a try with a local club. I think you'll be surprised how deep the pool of skills required go.
"Get scared"
Fought tiger.
Now missing leg.
Instructions unclear.
10x3min sprints with minute rest is the work outs im scared of 😅
I think you should see a doctor and cardiologist first before you think about improving your cardio
If there's good cause to suspect conditions like heart issues, asthma or other issues, yes.
If we're otherwise healthy and don't normally have issues with our heart or breathing, there shouldn't be any risks involved in working on our cardio unless we're idiots going about it.
The shortened rest periods have done WONDERS for me smh

My Four year old says "Where is Gabbbeeee?" Everyday right now lol.
Thanks for getting us into kickboxing. 🥊🐆
Hey Gabriel, what are those 3 Work Outs that make you feel nervous?
Greetings from Hamburg, Germany ✌🏼
I didn't understand the surprise your body part can someone explain it to me please?
Fantastic topic as always, Gabriel. I'd like to add one thing, every now and then compare yourself with someone who is relatively new and realize how much those gruesome training sessions has paid off. It's a great motivation to see that reward.
