I remember incorrectly shipping straight into a knee around 15 years ago 🤪 Get your slipping on point so you don't make that mistake. It wasn't fun. www.xmartial.com/?ref=GVARGA Discount code 10% Off: GABRIELVARGA
1:45 dropping to the side without protecting your head (mma/kickboxing) 2:47 only going side to side and not slipping forward 3:57 rolling under a hook without using your legs in a dropping movement 5:00 standing square while popping back and not using your back leg 6:39 staying stationary instead of being in motion
Never apologize for being concise. And hey I felt every single one of those frames of reference. Coming from American kenpo for like 20 years, you best believe there's no kata for head movement. Which has its drawbacks in the real world, lol. A lot of focused attention has had to go to scrubbing out the influence of the mirror emulation that was based off of years of trying to practice what I thought I saw. The funny thing about how awesome it is chasing down martial arts is Kaleidoscope similarities one can see reflected in other practitioners movement and technique. You can start to see the greater scope of your particular skill set and get clued into the greater heights and depths that others have explored and internalized before you. That's a great way to stay in shape and meet new people/parts of yourself. Join your local dojo today.
One question: the way I've been taught to avoid hooks is you drop first straight down (from whatever position you are in, be it centered or not) and then you roll under the hook. So, in other words, you don't choose a roll direction from the very first moment when you drop, but after you drop straight down. The main advantage I felt is that this gives you a bit more time to understand what hook you're dealing with (left or fright) and roll in the correct direction. Do you feel there's something wrong with this? Thanks a lot for the content! :)
Wow, The Great Instructor Mr Varga strikes again. I love how you mentioned staying in motion to help the counter slips get off right. My instructor doesn’t like me to “dance” as he would say. Says waste of time/energy, but I feel the constant movement of shifting my weight creates unpredictability in offensive roles as well as defensive. I suppose the amount of bouncing around a fighter does could potentially be excessive if the other fighter is being overly cautious and defensive.
Gabriel, the situation you described with just 'leaning back' - I had it last time with someone who did this but ALSO walked back at the same time. And I could NEVER hit him. How do you deal with that? Like he leaned completely back and also steppe back at the same time, faster than I could reach him. What to do? Would love if you give some advice :)
You were following his head. You need to only pay attention to the core. The core cannot be pulled away like the head or other extremity. It is their center. What style are you training? That's important to know to give thorough advice. All I can say until I know what type of fighting you are doing, is if you follow the core, anticipate it, you need to close in more with your footwork and punch THROUGH them, so that if they pull back your punch will follow. If you follow their center properly you practically don't even have to see the head to hit them in the head. Have you ever used feinting? Can you low kick? Usually a low kick is good for people who use the tactic you are talking about.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 thank you man. In this case I was only boxing, but in general we do Muay Thai. I wonder what I would we were only boxing? Could you explain what you mean by punch through him?
once saw a video of a famous boxer, don't remember who it was, Canelo?.....anyways, they were asked if slipping is a "reaction or an action". it's a mixture of the two. it's head movement even before something comes at you, and when it comes you just comit to it and it becomes a slip

Theres a Spelling mistake incase you didn't know
@@nokohThat's because of that knee. Gotta train my slipping haha
happened to me this past weekend. I felt like I was a beginner all over again.
1:45 dropping to the side without protecting your head (mma/kickboxing)
2:47 only going side to side and not slipping forward
3:57 rolling under a hook without using your legs in a dropping movement
5:00 standing square while popping back and not using your back leg
6:39 staying stationary instead of being in motion
Thank you for saving us time, timestamp-hero💪
Your first point definitely applies to boxing, too. Slipped that way once and ate a left hook from a delayed beat

Actual factual constructive commentary. And a great idea/point. This is what youtube really should be used for. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for breaking it down Gabriel
It seems that the fundamentals get lost, or not thought in some gyms. I guess because there's so much to learn in MMA and other combat sports.
MUCHAS gracias 🙏
Thank you Gabriel
Great tips
Thanks Gabriel I just learned something new and I'm gunna go work on it in front of the mirror
Right on

I would try to come into range and either hit a bodyshot or a leg kick as he is fading back

Could you explain what you mean by punch through him?
If he keeps walking back, walk him unto the ropes or the wall of the cage. The ring's there for a reason.
Double jab and close in. In theory going forward should be a tad bit faster than stepping back. GL

I second the request from another viewer for a Rob Kaman video.
The thumbnails have been savage lately lol
Not really related to the video but you do the best strikers in UFC part 2
Definitely not an excuse to look at Rafael fiziev
Shipping? Lol

You should’ve got a discount for free shipping after that
