Give the fans a varga vs wonder boy friendly sparring PLEASE
Yes, Gabriel. Please do. God bless!
I think Gabriel could win a kickboxing fight against wonderboy
@@aslazaimi5824 wonder boy is so much bigger tho
@@aslazaimi5824 Gab is 145 WB is 170 and probably walks around way more than that.
@@lupus4687 gab walks around 155 and wonderboy is around 185 bro

Mike is such a fucking nerd and I kinda love it.
The idea of combat sports is that at some point, you're going to have to engage and go forward. Bazooka Joe said it best, sometimes you'll be up against an opponent, where he's just that much faster, his timing, range, faints, and ring control is that much more on point. Unfortunately, you're going to have to put your guard up, keep your chin down, move forward and show heart.
Love this
Joe Valtellini is one of my favourite kickboxers!!! Pressure heavy and aggressive, but fights so smart and technical!
tell that to floyd mayweather when he fought manny pacquiao 🤣🤣🤣
@@AzovSS wym? Pac was just faster and more powerful
Floyd had the better timing, range and feints which is what this comment included
You're really not making much sense. Plus, Pac was never known for his timing, his unexpected angles + footwork is what made him unique
Thank you for those details on the long guard. I've tried using it in sparring but I feel like I don't have the proper structure down. It is good to see the front POV from time to time because sometimes we just copy those we spar with and don't really know what we're looking to emulate. A thorough breakdown of the various guard types from multiple angles would be a great video to see. Keep up the good work!
Long guard is great for the quick moment of transition. Once you either distance yourself or manage to lock his arm . You get out of the guard. It ain't for than 5 sec . Opponent are going to figure out
Great advice! My brother faced an aggressive opponent and I noticed even though my brother was blocking all his shots with his guard his opponent did not stop attacking until my brother attacked prompting his opponent to back off and reset.
I'm a tall fighter and this is exactly what I needed right now :D Thanks!
Aways been a fan of Gabriel’s style, cause he uses that knowledge of distance management not only defensively, but offensively. He lands devastating hooks from outrageous positions, almost risk-free
Thanks to XMartial for supporting the channel 🙏😀

Jon Jones use that long guard to keep the distance, but he also open his hand so he can eye poke
So in order to keep people away from you, wrestle them.
Always keep the yin within the yang and the yang within the yin.
Thanks for another great lesson guys.
Amazing video! The long guard is very effective if you combine it with footwork. When someone rushes towards you, my tactics are: pop the jab out, get that check hook in, time a good backhand in order to get respect, move in circles to avoid getting cornered, and also closing the distance is so great, it smothers your opponent’s offense and you can open a few spaces to land yourself :)
You probably understand this better than me. How come they aren't eating roundhouse kicks to the ribs, or having people use that as a long lever arm to turn the shoulder of the person doing the frame?
@@sweynforkbeard8857 u can check kicks with this guard
Thank you for the Long Guard details.
زبردست سر جی
Thank you Gabe and Mike ! Both of you are PHENOMENAL teachers ! You deserve all good things in life
For my guys of this type, I tell them "you must be all the way in or all the way out." I also tell them to use their range to strike on the break (shove off and then throw the big kick), before the aggressive opponent gets back on the hunt.
Thanks you two for the great input. I dont pro fight, just sparring but some guys are super aggressive, thats how they fight. This will help tremendously to give me a different outlook on how to move/adapt as well as I am tall and long so I will absolutely try and implement this!
Great episode thanks guys!
Awesome content thanks guys
Thank you gabriel
I think a great defense is one of the most underrated assets especially helps for guys who arent as physically strong
Damn I feel like Gabe is calling me out personally with this video 😂
Nice! making them pay for aggressing you! Great answer!
The saga of youtubes best fighters collaborating continues! dope.
Thanks for the long guard demo!
A few things I like doing is angling into counters. If they shell up I’d either push them back by grabbing both arms and continuously looking for counters and angling
Going into my first MMA match and struggling with getting into dirty boxing range. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks guys!
I actually have trouble with my sparring partner who long guards and runs all the time. The one counter I've found is to slip my head left and forwards towards his right hand for a brief moment, then immediately sway it to the right under the long arm while throwing my lead hook to the body and following up. But other than that I've had trouble with the following while applying pressure:
*Body kicks while I'm pressuring after he's gained distance.
*Body punches that can sometimes hit my head while swaying.
*Check hooks that force me to mentally reset, even if mostly blocked.
Great conversation....
Another one that i learned to use is indeed cut the distance, but also cut your angle while you use your lead hand to " post" or " side post" against their lead and turn to them, so you can re-start the rythm in your terms
Can you do a video about feints?
My question would actually be the opposite. I'm usually the one who advances slowly, backs up just a little, and pounces forward to close when people get too comfortable throwing. I always feel like offence can be a great deterrent. It's obviously not always the case, though. How to know when to pull back? How to know when backing up is actually the best option?
In my opinion, theres 3 reasons to move backwards. 1. is defensively, when youre getting pressured, or just to get out of range. 2. is offensively, when youre setting up traps or counters for your partner/opponent to walk into. Or 3. just as a neutral way to maintain the current distance/to disengage and reset, maybe to take a breather or just to clear your head.
In the case of scenario 1, it kind of happens on its own. If someone is moving in on you, its natural to move backwards to maintain distance. In the case of 2. you would need to have a setup that you have either conditioned the opponent for, or you would just need to be in that much control of the pace and distance, understand the range and timing, etc. And in the case of 3. I think this is also kind of natural, feeling based moment. If youre tired or just need to reset, you disengage for a moment and then get back into it.
Just to be clear though, for any of these 3 scenarios, moving backwards isnt the only option. Like in scenario 1, instead of moving backwards when someone closes distance, you could move forwards into them to clinch, like shown in the video. In my opinion a lot of this distance management boils to down experience and feeling, and serves the purpose of controlling the range at which the exchanges take place to favor yourself.
When you close the distance that's when wrestling kicks in.
Gabriel is the best coche ever.♥️🙏
I want to ask how can I work my biceps and my back in the gym as a kickboxer
Always had issues with the high pressure fighters, I was thinking too much about landing them fancy combos forgetting i can literally just step in and push the guy away from me 😂
Thought I’d look for if you had a video on this after realising that was working for me against those aggressive fighters, will definitely be trying that Thai hop with the long guard
that knee up hop forward entry reminds me a lot of the famous Royce Gracie entry in early UFC's
your friend might be a little bit goofy sometimes but still funny 😂

Thank you so much for your details on the Long Guard. I’ll have to try using it to close the distance and bit until I get comfortable with it
He's mentioning the Superbon vs Chingiz Allazov fight. Would love to see how Superbon adjusts his defence if they face each other again in the future and if he uses the long guard again.
Perfect right before my sparring session 💪🏽
Could you provide a video that covers common injuries and their appropriate treatment options, excluding those that require medical attention at a hospital?
I've just always naturally been a long guard in and out fighter.
I use posts and frames to stop the coming past by lead arm .can't imagine any other way tbh .
When I learned to box I just watched Lenox Lewis and sunny Liston for hrs and copied them . If they do break through I go Gene Fulmar mode reverse cross guard so my head is completely protected and I only have to worry about body shots . Which they can't through because there covering up from the overhand rights I'm repeatedly bombing until they back up.
How do you stop a big fast scary wheel that is spinning way too fast and coming at you and keeps aiming for you? Ram a stick into the wheel. Then pop it before it spins back up again.
0:53 "description will be in the link below" lol
Imo distance management is more psychological than anything else. If ur opponent doesn’t respect ur offensive ability he’s gonna be in ur face as long as he wants no matter what
tell this mike guy the shut it when he is on Gabriels channel
It's kind of like a fighting game where if you stay guarding you can't achieve anything and can get poked through your defenses or grabbed.
'you can't run all the time'...adesanya disapproves of this video
🗿
Great video.
I love content about using reach.
Do you think that the taller fighter should generally lower their stance against shorter opponents?
Why would you do that? For head shots. If your opponents face is at your shoulder height, your punch is a straight line while your opponents is at an angle making his reach even shorter.
@@tobias8826 My thinking is the same as yours, but I've heard people talking about it that are much higher level than I am so I'm curious to hear more opinions.
@@tobias8826I think it's to expose the chin less. Us tall fighters can land at will on our opponents foreheads, but the chin is harder to find. While shorter guys (when they close the distance) head strikes have a good line to the chin/neck area, much more dangerous
Hey man I got 5 weeks to prepare for a point boxing tournament. I work full time and have a family. I get to work with my coach 2x a week but what else can/should I do to prepare?
I just came back from sparring and i need that shit mate
Teep, jab
A good defense is a good offense?.. box a brawler, brawl a boxer.. dont let you pride get the best of you, walk away if u can?.. hit first.. eyes, throat groin!!..

Glad this video is on your channel otherwise I would have missed it. Mike annoys me I unsubscribed from him awhile ago but you’re one of my favorites 🤷🏾♂️
Lol how does Mike annoy you
@@Ninjacob00 It's probably the internet persona he plays, not for everyone
Not really a persons.
I flew out to train with him for a week.
Mostly that’s just who he is. He talks and coaches the same way in classes.
But yeah some people prefer to be babied and have varga’s softer less in your face approach
@@johnpjones1775 my actual coach is pretty hardcore. He would eat Mike alive. So it’s not that I like to be babied. I just think he’s annoying. I’m entitled to my opinion I don’t have to like everybody.
Whatever you say tough guy.
🥊
Is a teep to the face a good option also 😂
👍👍👍
Yes if anybody ever wants to be a distance manager in sparring of fighting they have to master counter attacks after baiting in a more aggressive opponent, that's what the style is meant for lol
So...pressure helps against pressure?
1:01
Wonder is extremely rare, most people with that style are not successful
Someone should share this video with Olympic sprint run awayer, DK Yoo!
For those who just want to box and not do all of this extra technical stuff. There is a simple 2 word answer.
Check Hook.
How to fight bigger than you
Shut up Mike it's GV's video!!!
icy mike tries too hard to outshine and out talk... he should really learn some humility and relax. Typical American complex
The answer is KRAVMAGA you got much more smart tools in a split second in a street fight
