How To BLOCK & SCOOP Round Kicks | MUST KNOW

This is my favourite way to deal with roundhouse kicks. It keeps you extremely safe from the kick and punishes your opponent for throwing at you. Most people have 2-3 common mistakes that impede them from utilizing this correctly. Today I make sure you understand how to properly execute this fantastic block and counter combo.

Now this is something I needed, thank you so much for breaking down this amazing defensive move Gabriel, just yesterday, I scooped my partner's front kick, and then, I forget to scoop, or block again, because when I get hit, I buckle up, and lose my rhythm somewhat, but still can go through the whole round and throw, a perfect video for me this was Gabriel!

[MrIsles]

I tend to scoop or cross block the body kick, but i struggle with timing catching the kicks, any chance of getting a vid on this? Thanks Gabriel.

[jeffs]

OH snap I've been shown the scoop from under but I like this a lot, goIng to try it in sparring this week.

[thethchamber]

Excellent video. Particularly liked the footwork detail.

[ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

I’ve done this move quite a few times without being shown or even meaning to, just feels a very natural thing to do against a strong kicker, it allows you to land a powerfull low kick.

[Bambam_]

Thanks Gabriel i needed that one little adjustment with the hips. I always sucked at returning the kick following up the cross block/foot sweep. I was stepping back instead of throwing my hips back. 🙏

[dontblink]

I saw a video with Saenchai he prefers tossing the leg you catch outside the opponents body instead of across your opponent.

[aghaattaullahkhan]

Very useful part of fighting. I m a beginner. If you show it with a partner, it would be easy to understand and practice correctly and effectively.

[XSR_RUGGER]

Is there any chance you would go over Tawanchai's front or teep kick? It looks so powerful with minimal effort.

[Jeff_D]

Needed this, keep getting fucked up in karate by a taller dude who loves his kicks and has more experience

[eddard]

ive done this but i dont follow it up with a kick, i just laugh that i have messed stance up, i should start kicking now

[oversipelio]

My sensei teaches this one really well. But i have yet to learn it properly

[ondrej_misek]

@GabrielVargaOfficial Hi Gabriel, can use this technique for both the kick and also punches, cross and jabs, block and counter after with a hook for example, what do you think?

[TwistedTalksWithNoah]

I love doong this in sparring especially with kick heavy thai guys

[raihanislamchowdhury]

Could you please make a video on how to face opponents who r faster nd more agile..

[miamendes]

Please wear socks. My husband watches your videos all the time. I sit here and watch them as well. But your feet make me uncomfortable. And I don’t want him watching your videos. Please wear socks. Thank you. Sincerely, Maria.
