Thank you for keeping us on our toes and refreshing us with the fundamentals. I appreciate your knowledge, brother. We are super lucky to be learning from someone as skilled and dedicated as you. After watching your battles on Glory or Bellator, good sir, it is an honor to even have back and forth conversation. Respect, brother. Thanks again. 🤙

I'v been working out using your 15 minute heavy bag training video - love it. Thank you. Looking forward to a kickboxing version to include the kicks in the future. Thank you very much.

Absolutely invaluable advice.
Way to many beginners look exactly as you have described power is overrated technique !technique !
Technique!

[joefosdike]

I remember when you had 30k subscribers congrats on nearly getting to 100k my guy 🙌

[pablogomez]

Gabriel! I’m an mma fighter but have recently picked up more and more kickboxing matches to focus on my stand up and I’ve got say that you’re videos have helped tremendously with the incorporation into my training regime! Thank you for the knowledge my friend!🙏🏽 looking forward to watching your next fight👊🏽

[WompyConk]

I normally don't comment but I can't thank you enough for the help and content you put out for us. Thank you so much

[jamielondon]

Great idea!
It didn't even occur to me to look for gender specific mistakes, but it makes a lot of sense – for guys especially with anything about using too much power.

[andrewtanczyk]

5:26 great points. I was taught you can have just as much power anyway if you focus on the speed of bringing the punch back quickly. Gabriel Varga is well schooled in boxing. Even though he’s a karate / kickboxing champion he could compete at a professional boxing level against even boxing champions. I’m extremely impressed at Gabriel Varga’s boxing knowledge and ring IQ.

Guy mistakes:
1. Loading a punch for power, but actually is slower. Stay tight and keep defense or hands touching your head
2. Round kick without moving the hip, keep the hip and should matched, turn together
3. Stiff shoulders/body causes faster fatigue. Stay loose til exploding or defending
4. Always throwing for power, should throw about 1/3 light touch and mix in power shots
5. Front kick for power and off balance when miss. Keep the head above anchor foot and control as ball of foot will hurt them, not just push them

THANK YOU
people say that the muscles tire you out, no they don't! They give you more stamina! It's just that a lot of people are so tense they get tired so quickly

[danchovanes]

I was terrible about muscling through punches. Recently I've learned to drive my knuckles forward with my hip and think less with my biceps/delts

[rqcgxje]

Somewhat unrelated, but do you read a lot? I have always admired how articulate you are and wonder what you attribute that to? We know it's partly due to staying in shape and eating healthy, but you state/explain things so clearly (and it's a joy to listen to you) that I wonder what else there is to your speech "regiment".

[Carloserchimo]

i usually translate the content of the videos becouse my girlfriend struggles a litlle bit with english so it gonna be great!!!!
waiting to see your debut in karate kombat too, iam really hyped ahaha

[sigmusoida]

[sidneydiasmarfilho]

Greetings from Manaus, Brazil. Love your tips gabriel, keep it on!

[charlesleeray]

Thank you coach!! This is very useful information I will implement in my training.

[DavidRodriguez-errq]

These are good pointers that no one's thinks about or forgets.

[Armilar]
