The all time great boxer Salvador Sanchez used this defensive move a lot during his fights and countered very effectively off of it. He is often considered a defensive master and this was a big part of his defense game.

[danielrochester]

I feel like gabriel is reading my mind, every time I come home from training and go on YouTube, the exact thing I've been thinking about working on, is there waiting for me haha

[lukasleong]

Could you make a video about moving backwards and cutting angles and head movement? I feel that’s something really helpful!

[joemcguts]

Man this is one of the best tips on the most important essentials. I saw a former coach use this a lot in sparring combo demonstrations where he did basically all the time without ever mentioning this technique itself at all, it was just deeply incorporated into his style. Used it ever since and find it is the most superior defense in sparring. Sure it leaves the body open, but since I personally do not do any kind of tournaments with full power, I can basically take all the hits to my body pretty easy compared to eating anything with my head.

[LOYAmusic]

I found this to be an effective defensive move, and it definitely feels like I am taking less impact than if I am just shell blocking with my glove. That said, sometimes sparring partners get upset with me for “using elbows” even though it is just a block not a strike 🤷‍♀️

[Boy-nzuu]

Why do people in the comments try to tell a 6 time pro champion kickboxer what’s right and wrong like the arrogance of people 😂😂

[tazminiam]

I happen to like this block for bare knuckle or self-defense. It covers really well; even without gloves, and you're not relying on your hands to take bone on bone contact.

[CryoToast]

Gabriel, you explain concepts in a way that is extremely easy to understand yet at the same time technically profound, you're an invaluable resource to coaches, students, and anyone who practices martial arts. Thank you for your videos.

[HaqueIndustries]

Please make a video on how to blitz properly while staying safe and how to effectively use the blitz 🙏

[angelmedina]

EXCELLENT TIMES BIG BRO!💙💙💙😼👊🏽👌🏽🪶🪶🪶🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯

[elserpientethechamp]

Awesome video Gabriel. I have been utilizing the same block for years now and perfected it. Only thing I was not 100% sure about were the body shots and uppercuts, which I got the answer to in this video. Great stuff! 🥊

[haistapaska]

Gotta try this. Seems like there’s an idea 💡

[JonLewis-ctmk]

I concentrate on protecting the arch on bottom of my feet from upper cuts.especially during horse stance.

[Fliegercantfly]

My elbow used to catch peoples feet and shines that way. Stopping them for a second. I liked to left and right roll guard to left and right elbow guard. I remember someone telling me not to do that and then someones foot played peek a boo with me elbow. we took a 30 second break.

[someboi]

Kazuki Osaki is pretty good at this iirc

[captainkirk]

Hi! I really like your emphasize on "closing the door" - closing the ellbow aaall the way over your nose line.
IDK if you interested - but in the Rousey vs. Nunes fight, I think Rhonda tried to do the technique - but got hit hard. IMO because the ellbow wasnt "closed" enough.

[KeastKannegaard]

As most gyms dont work enough on defence, are there any way when doing padwork, to work on your defence, that doesnt involve the padholder?
