You have the best striking martial arts channel hands down. I mean that. Thanks Gabriel. Keep up the awesome work.

[mastershredder]

Wondering if Gabriel is familiar with Kneesovertoes guy and how he feels about those exercises relevancy to combat sports.

Thanks for all of your content
It's so rare in YouTube to find a real teacher especially in martial art

Keep up champ.!! Can't wait for your next fight

All very useful, thank you! Back in the day we did blitz moves with karate. One was where you not only push forward with the rear foot, but you remove the front leg and let your body weight carry you forward as you push. That was very fast. The other effective blitz move was weapon first independent motion.

Love your channel, really develop quicker because of your videos!

[ahmedalhamadi]

Thanks for nice request and thanks for nice response.

Adding this to my routine for sure!
Would be awesome if you could explain how you incorporate practicing technique with weight training (ex. strength and endurance-wise)!
Cheers 😁

Hi Gabriel, Amazing Content as usual. So far you've given a lot of 'tips & tricks' on how to use the high guard for both kickboxing and MMA. However we're curious about how to "use" them methodically in a Fight. Can you make a video around "Full/Comprehensive guide on the high guard" where you teach us your A-Z approach on how to use the high guard to block shots with minimal movements, and how to combine them with footwork. I think that would be very interesting to see. Keep it up Brother!

[Fightookaishii]

Definitely gonna utilise this in my training, thanks Gabriel.

[anupdeterman]

Thank you Bro, love this drill advice. The gym I train don’t provide this kind of information

[tomnaughadie]

Classic Kung Fu training.
Great video as always.

[honigdachs.]

This video is very valuable for me, because I got a bit an issue with this. I'm very mobile if I stick to a slightly bladed stance which I picked up from karate training. I don't stand fully bladed like the sport karateka/point fighters do, because I don't come from that karate background - but you could compare it to a longer, a bit wider boxing stance. However, if I'm fighting from a square stance, I automatically become much more of a classic Thai style fighter with a shallow stance and more plodding footwork, and for some reason I can't do the back and forth bounce any longer. It's exactly like you said, my legs burn up real quick and my movement is way too labored. It doesn't happen if I'm more bladed. the So I'm kinda stuck with choosing between more mobility and outfighting capability, or I'm gonna be more safe from low/calf kicks, shell up more effectively and get the lead leg front kick, but I lose the ability to cover distance and move quickly.
