What other body types do you guys want me to cover? Tall obviously. I'm looking at all other suggestions.

[MomDoer-qciw]

Its funny dutch style, being effective for shorter people, comes from the tallest people in the world on average

[Torpedoman]

5'4 125 lb fighter here. I appreciate all your videos and insight Gabriel. I just won my 3rd mma belt on Saturday, and your tips as well as your videos on how to increase our breathing efficiency helped me a lot. Thank you for everything you do! Great content

[Condeycon]

Gabriel looking out for us short kings because hes magnanimous as fuck. Thank you, senpai.

[sebastianquintana]

You broke 42k yesterday and youre already at 42.1, well deserved champ

[lobo_solo]

From a short stocky guy in Texas, gracias 🙏💯

[Konjz]

Thank you a lot! Im 170cm 80kg and im almost always the shortest guy by 5-15cm. I have problems getting inside without getting controlled by opponent jabs. These tips will help me alot if i just master them!

[MrTooEarnestOnline]

Thanks for this. I’m 5’11 and 205-200. I want to go LH, but I’m very short for the weight class. But also more muscularity developed. So this vid helps a lot.

[trilonger]

At 5’4 this is brilliant to help me understand how I can utilise my body better, will be interested to see the oversight one as well as I’m in that category as well

[demetriuscolburn]

Wow I really appreciate the insight!
Thanks you've opened doors for me

[daki]

This video basically sums up everything I need to do 😂🙏 thank you for explaining this in simple terms for a small short fighter like me hahaha

[raidenbellen]

I like how hes wearing his gloves while talking to us 😂I love it

[liamfoo]

tall with extremely long reach please, most effective techniques that I should be focusing on

[iansilva]

I'm 1.70 and 84kg. it's hard to get inside because my opponents are always taller than me, i'm used to fight like this now, but yeah, my first fights where hard for this reason. MMA tho, so every time i had hard time reaching the chin i try to take the fight to the ground. Never give up people, no one is invinsible. Just gotta find how to break things on your favor 💪🏻

[lgoachet]

Thank you so much Gabriel!!! This is the d¡video I was searching for so long. I am exactly this type of fighter so I want it to understand how can I get advantage of my body and his limitation. Really helpful. Thanks Pal.

[V.AST]

Short fighter at 5’6” but 72” wingspan.

[johnacker]

As a short king i find it easy and effective to land lowkicks from punching range. Throw a leg kick instead of a right hand every now and again. Frustrates opponents when you can land both punches and kicks from the same exact distance.

[californiacombativesclub]

dude im 5'6 and i needed this. im switching to dutch guard cuz the thai guard aint working for me. iron mike z. is a case study for us stocky guys.

[Cc]

I feel like I’ll have to borrow from this and the tall and lean video since I’m short for my weight class (5’5), but I have a good reach (6’0”)

[BoxingForTheStreets]

Great video. I'm a short fighter myself. 5'10.
