Light training through injuries actually helped me improve my mechanics and further understand my body.
It also forced me to focus on techniques that I wouldn't otherwise train.
I’ve wanted to go pro for a while but have been sidelined with runners knee, knees over toes guy has helped me out loads and I’m looking to compete by the end of this year !!!
Stay strong bro
bruh same thing.....tore my ACL during cardio training the other day. I was gonna participate in a Tournament this July. dunno when I can come back to training.
I wasn't at the level of going pro, but breaking my arm has set me back for almost 5 months now and I don't know if I'll ever be able to compete again with a metal plate in my bones. Injuries suck.
knees over toes guy is legit! learning and doing the stuff he recommends has been integral to my progression as a fighter
Knees over toes guy is totally legit. Highly recommend for all athletes
So much tanks for this invaluable info!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video Gabriel!
This channel is literally the best. It has everything you need to know as a fighter. I just don't understand how's it's so underrated. Keep up the great work Gabriel. Really appreciate what you do.
Really thanks Gabriel !!
I have a fight in 3 weeks and fucked my shoulder last week (bad landing on a sanda takedown). The doctor said its tenosynovitis, I just know it hurts a lot. What we've been working out on very light sessions is to change my repertoire for the fight, coming up with different tactics.
That must be something you do for your fights too, right Gabriel?
Also wish me luck!!
Did you win champ
@@hussienrageb5269 Yoo whats up! I forgot about this comment.
I won that fight! It was probably my worst performance ever but I sticked to a plan and it worked.
Then fought 2 more times, the first I won by KO in the second round, and I lost the other fight because of dumb mistakes, dude was smart and had lots of heart. I hurt him really badly 2 times but I didn't notice I could have gone for the kill. Great fight, he earned the win.
After that I got it properly checked and it was a Bankart + Hill Sachs injury. I got the surgery last month, its very painful.
I'll get back to training but I think I had a good amateur run, I'll probably only fight 1 or 2 more times and call it done.
Cheers
This is the best kickboxing/muythai channel in my opinion. You create amazing content. It really helps me as a fighter. Thanks for all the great tips! Underrated channel, keep up the good work🏆
Great vid! Was actually thinking of this due to my turf toe!
Great content in this. Currently have lifters elbow/ lower bicep issues. Clinching not a good idea gotta rest up
Yooo Gabriel, thank you a LOT for this video, i just shit my ankle out against an elbow today in sparring and i feel like dying now hahaha i was very afraid, i was almost crying, i have a fight in 2 months. But seeing that even top elite champions like you get injuries and know how you take care of yourself with that calms me down. Thank you so muchs dude ! You are the best here.
uh....Mr.Varga??? How? I just tore my ACL yesterday and today I see this....Am I in a simulation?😅😅😅....anyway I have to miss a tournament this July because of my surgery and recovery. It takes a toll mentally not being able to do what I love. But will be back right after recovery . 👊👊👊
I asked Gabriel once about my rotator cuff/shoulder injury. And he replied that we can go through anything even the highest career ending injury if we set our mind to it and give it proper rest.
He also told me that he had several of them serious injury before, and I still have the stupid injury after 2/3 months.
I’m there with you too.
There are always other ways to train without engaging the shoulder. Practice kicks, footwork, head movement, reaction time. Condition legs, knuckles, core, cardio, etc.
Good job 👌👍💪
Hi Gabriel! Can you make a video about strengthening leg bones? I have problems with them and I think they are a little bit weak..
I know it's an edit, but I'm going to pretend Varga can just magically materialize objects at 7:51 😂
FYI I bought a Hydragun on your rec last year and they now ship it with an adapter
Good to know 👌
happy bd bro
Shit Gabriel, this video came at the perfect time. I just had my labrum repair surgery on my left arm, and I dislocated my right arm 5 days ago. Now I’ve got no arms, and my doctors told me to prepare for the possibility of another surgery. Got a couple of nagging leg injuries that I need to fix before i can practice kicking. So I guess thats what I’m gonna get good at. It fucking hurts my spirit a lot man, but I can’t give up. I’ve been out of training since 7 months ago because of my legs and other arm, so another one has just been mentally devastating.
Thank you for everything you do. I need you and your strong mindset to keep me going and believing in my dreams
Keep pushing, I'm certainly not Gabriel but I wish you the best mate ✌🏻
Hey. I had a labrum tear on my right shoulder that healed through rigorous PT. Wishing you well man. I know how debilitating that was. Struggled with basic things in fear the it'll subluxate. I'm now trying to resolve my bad knees I've dealt with for over 2 years that I tried to rehab conservatively
You need rest my friend. Study lots of film and the great fighters, take mental reps, keep showing up to your gym to keep learning. The power of visualization of techniques is great. And of course physical therapy
Hi! Can you make a video about getting a super ultimate cardio workout.
Wish you posted this 7 months ago lol. Great value as always Varga
First class of muay thai after years, at the end doing a series of roundhouse kicks = broken Achilles tendon 😑😩, waiting for surgery now.
I will need to review this video later 😆
Was just teaching how to sweep doing a private. My student did the sweep and landed on me twisting my ankle and tore some ligaments… Just happened 3 days ago but back in the gym and riding the bike, doing calf raises and already slowly feeling a LITTLE better. You just have to find what you can do, do that and slowly get better. Doing nothing and being upset about it isn’t going to get you anywhere. Just try your best to get better and get moving !
Very helpful video. Super useful for me, I'm an amateur kickboxer and gonna be fighting at least 4-5 times in the next 4-8 weeks. Also, I have to weigh 71kg in all of those fights and am at 73.5 - 74 currently. Any tips on losing these 2-3kgs without dehydrating too much?
Cut carbs you'll lose heaps of water weight and the weight will come back once you stop the keto diet
I have had a lot of experience with broken and sprained toes. We have a guy at my gym that broke and/or sprained two toes at the same time...this was about 8 months ago. I tried to talk to him and give him some advice on going to a doctor and getting in a boot. I even offered him one of my spare boots because I keep them all to remind myself but he declined. He didn't go see a doctor and the toes haven't healed properly and now he can't walk or run properly and has had to stop doing fights. Word to the wise...sometimes a boot for 4 to 5 weeks or crutches with full recovery is waaaaay better then never being able to train properly again.
Gabriel can you do a video on your no setup liverhook with the big step? I have seen it in numerous fights from you. The timing with the step and no setup and not getting hit is quite odd to me.
I would like to learn it!
Gab, plz tell me this - i trained muay thai for a month and stopped because my ankles got swollen from kicking the heavy bag just as the coach wanted. i am 47 and usually just box. from your opinion was this injury a part of conditioning process and maybe i should have worn a soft shinpad or smth or was that a sign my body just wasnt into it at all?
For some reason I'm injury prone. My first three months in training in 2018 I hurt my back that took me out for 6 months. Then at the end of 2019 I hurt my knee which I needed surgery in early 2020 pre pandemic. I was out for a whole year year since I had to do at home physical therapy. Then last month I ended up getting tennis elbow was out for three weeks then pulled my calf while sparring after those three weeks.
I know just how hard that is man. work on your weak links and toughen up your body!
What about shin splints gabriel or did you never had problems with the tibialis muscles (or shin stress fractures)?
U need to do a video on shin splints
For sure. I used to suffer from that so often.
Once I figured out a few things they completely went away.
I've get something made.
I'm currently dealing with a fractured rib which I got sparring right after a holiday to Singapore (went One X) so I was quite motivated to train hard as my goals to fight. Have you ever had to deal with a fracture rib?
I've been having consistent knee pain after running this year. Last year it wasn't a problem.
I examined every part of my freaking anatomy while running then realized my shoes probably had 2500 miles on them. New shoes and so far so good.
I’ve heard the barefoot type shoes are great for kneee psi
@@SonOftheBattleCrymight as well just run barefoot
How much magnesium do you take a day?
How much magnesium are you taking per day?
thanks as i just fractured my ankle
Ooof! That’s a bad one. Stay strong 💪🙏
Yesterday was my 4th day back in the boxing gym being sidelined 2 months with biceps/shoulder issues.
Got knocked out sparring last night and at 42 years old questioning “What am I doing?”
Existing injuries I’ve managed but now…Continue training just for exercise or continue training for first amateur fight?
lololol Ive been injured every week since the age of 30 lol...I buy a lot of athletic tape
Hehehe 😆💪🙏
@@paulpelle3046 you a south paw too? I watched a few of your videos.
@@jfloyo11 yes mate, I am a southpaw 🙏
@@paulpelle3046 awwwwwesome.
@@jfloyo11 hehe 😁👍
I tore a bunch of ligaments in my left leg last May while defending a take down. Post surgery I only got back to kickboxing about a month ago and I haven't touched grappling again yet. It sucks and injuries like that are rare if your training is reasonable, but sometimes shit happens. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the fighter I was training with since I got back. I wonder if he left because he felt bad - even though it wasn't his fault. I haven't asked my gymmates about him yet...
At 2:19 he said "if you have a hand" and then he paused for a second.. i literally had to look at my hands to check if they're still there.. haha
What is the worst injury you had and how did it affect your training?
💯💯
Hi. I'm sorry that I'm asking that here. But Its in my mind for a while. In kickboxing should I transfer bodyweight at one leg when im punching hooks and uppercuts? Or should I always try to keep 50/50?
Shift your weight
I just broke my arm in Muay thai training. Guess it’s a High lvl injuries 😉
Just from a hard , unexpected kick from sparing.. Don’t undestand how such can happen :/
Have a cast on, and like 2 month’s out, doc say
What day is your Your karate Combat debut ?
Just a heads up, excessive magnesium can be toxic for you, other than that, great tips
...I wonder where my horror injury from 2020 ranks on the Varga Injury Scale? 🤔😂🙏
I jam my toes more often than I care to admit. Like every time I spar 😢
Lmao you posted this video while i got injured 😂😂
My toes are fuckt....
This video gets uploaded 2 weeks after I get a TFCC tear, lmao 😅
As a Martial artist , And a practitioner of acupuncture, I would highly recommend acupuncture as a treatment modality, that would speed up recovery time and address your physical injuries that you have been discussing in this video. So with this being said check out your local acupuncturist you’ll be glad you did.
wrap up your wrists lads
