I'm glad everyone is enjoying the content 👍
I swear @Gabriel Varga is the truth
Yeah, & It Is Really Useful For Me!
Agreed, amazing content - has helped my Muay Thai and Kickboxing a lot!
🇧🇷🔥🇧🇷🔥
Finally some love to lanky fighters, it's so rare to find strategies for the taller fighter in youtube
We've got tall & lean covered. Short & stocky covered.
What should be next???
Physically stronger fighter! I normally have a strength advantage but I dont know how best to use it!
Maybe an all average fighter? Like my hight, reach etc are on average, is there any set of skills working especially good for this kind of fighter?
I used to be an tall elusive fighter. I switch for a tall brawler pressure puncher, it works very well with an hight guard 👌
a bigger slower brawler maybe ?
Short and lean
It’s good to know both styles. Every week during sparring I’m either the long/tall fighter or the shorter fighter. Personally enjoy the range finding “intelligent left” long style.
As a high school fighter standing at 193 cm tall and 77 kg, I always find it nice that I started my combat sports with wrestling in junior high and continue it in highs school. After being taught how to use my extra long limbs for striking, it's always nice to be able to go back to grappling if an opponent gets too close
Are you sizing me up boy?
191cm and competeing at 75kg. feel the same. love it
People don’t talk about the strengths with a lanky build in grappling as well. Stockier guys have more power but longer guys have more leverage
187cm and 70kg, I agree
I'm gonna become regional champ with this. Thanks Gabriel
Awesome. Get that title.
any title?
Thank you. So many coaches will allude to the advantages of being a taller fighter but only advise the shorter fighter on how to deal
That's because training to fight shorter people is viewed as bullying, even though being tall means most everyone is shorter than you and fit people who are shorter than you have more muscle at the same weight.
Everybody favours the perceived underdog "short guy". It's funny, because a guy named Tyson proved that a short guy can totally bully tall guys when more skilled
@@ScottGarrettDrums True, I am the tallest in my gym (1.83m) and the coach is always cornering the short ones, that's why I am here
At 6’4” and 200lbs I feel like this is meant for me
I feel you too much
Im 6'2 & 189lbs same
6ft 4" 175 lbs lol
Fax
exactly the same bro
Keeping your opponent at bay and picking him apart from a pretty safe distance is a great fighting technique for a tall and lean fighter to utilize.
Big up to us long limbed humans 🙏🔥
I was waiting for this thank you
soooooo awesome! thanks Gabriel.
Thanks for the video!
Great video, thank you!
Love everything your saying and as a tall fighter I've noticed a lot of this myself in my training and studying.
Awesome tips all around
Gabriel thank you so much every single one of your videos is a gem! Getting this condensed wisdom of such an amazing champ is so great, I am looking forward so much to practicing my long guard in MT sparring today! Thank you!
Thank you Gabriel. This is advice I wish I had gotten years ago.
Been waiting for this since I watched the other Physique videos. Thank you for everything you do!
Love all your stuff. Thank you for taking the time to educate.
Thank you for such a good video with such good advice!!!
FINALLY!!! THANKYOU
I will remember this. Thank you.
This is great stuff thank you
Thanks Gabriel,
As I am transitionning to Kick boxing, exactly what I need
Love this series gives you insight to what other fighters are going to try do
This is such a great video idea
Gabriel, this channel is helping me a lot, but I think this video is where I learned the most.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the tips
Man, your videos are freaking Diamonds.
Another great video champ
This is the video my lanky ass has been waiting for, Thanks Gabriel!
Great advice in this video. Top notch!!
Great video! The videos where you really dig into the details (like this one) are my favorites. And I’ve always wanted to tell you this: even though you lost the Van Roosmalen fight, you showed the heart of a lion during it. The courage it took to stay in there as long as you did against that gorilla was just off the charts. No one could ever question your heart after that war.
Thanks. I'm editing a video on that fight right now. He was a tank.
FINALLY a video on that!!! It’s always shorter vs taller
Class video!
Top notch content as always.
Tips for taller thinner fighters is definitely an under discussed subject in martial arts.
Thank you! Golden advice for the lanky
Thanks so much for this. I've been using quite a lot of these techniques already but have just started working on that Thai sidekick. And my inside game? It needs work but I'll get it eventually.
Thanks Gabriel, I got dazed by a shorter fighter in sparring and since then I’ve been utilizing your techniques to figure out what is the best way to compete. This video is so helpful.
great info !
Great points! Many trainers disregard the physical attributes of their fighters.
I’m 6’2” 170lbs and that thumbnail just made me realize why Izzy and Suga are my two favorite active fighters. Tall and skinny is the new race, we will prevail!
The future belongs to the pancake nipple clan, the revolution is nigh
@@NobleVagabond2552 woah buddy you mean guys with big fat sausage nipples? small nipples are far superior
Thank you... I'm not just speaking on your skill in the ring when I say this... your a good fighter! I mean that in so many ways including 'your a good person'.
Great video! I always seemed to get opponents much taller than me.
I had one of my fighters actually fight you, and you were definitely at a height disadvantage.
Real talk! Been thinking about a lot of the same things! Definitly effective to improve your game as a taller fighter Tnx!
👍
This was really helpful
Finally someone that actually breaks down some good long range techniques n tips for us taller fighters! Man have i been waiting...
Thanks coach!!
There's not alot of videos of what to do as a taller fighter! It's all tailored to the small guys, so thank you!
As a tall/lean fighter, this is one of my favorite videos you’ve made
great video man
Very validating video! Feel like most videos are for shorter fighters, or put all their focus on staying out of range. Nice to see emphasis on fighting in the pocket when that shorter fighter does occasionally find their way into range. (Now to work on that tight guard and counter-punching...)
I'm neither tall nor lean, but I love your videos! Keep up the great work Gabriel :)
Great vid sir. subbed
Thank youuuu bro, I'm 6'3 and long time fan and I was praying you would make this vid before my kickboxing and mma fights🙏🏿❤ keep spreading the knowledge and being a true martial artist.💯🤝🏿
Have you head your fights yet ?
This is pure gold! Like how Gabriel acknowledges some of his mistakes and giving us all these tips
That’s me! However I’m hitting like a Mac truck 💥
Thanks for the upload brother
Beautiful, Gabriel. Fantastic advice. I've built my whole game around these principles (6'3, 160lb K1 fighter). I still need to get better on the inside!!
great advice
He literally just made it such a worth watching fulll premium tutorial!
There are way more videos on how to beat the tall guy.
Glad to hear one how the tall guy can take advantage of his height.
Thanks,
Great video and tips. This is definitely me. 6'1", 160 lbs. I've been following all of your tips. I can't remember the boxer right now, but I remember watching a tall boxer with wicked hooks. His shorter opponent kept trying to close the distance, but got punished with hooks every time. It turned into a one sided fight, even though according to resumes it should have been a pretty even match. Thanks! I would love to see more on creating angles as a taller fighter. I have a good gas tank and quickness, but trouble figuring out the footwork for creating angles in my combinations.
The best body type for a fighter! Tall, long, and lean. If they mastered fighting walking backward, THE snap jab, and have just an ok inner game. The shorter fighter will walk through hell.
Reall helpful video👌 can you make a training video for some indepth techniks for a longer fighter?
Just subbed great stuff
cheers thank you! :)
Some great tips there for a tall, long fighter like me. Personally love the front teep and jab. The options for bouncing that lead leg thai-style is so vast.
How did u work on your front teep timing?
Im a tall fighter and the vast majority of Time my teep just hits my opponent's guard, I want to use It as distance control and pressure fighter control since the vast majority of people on my gym are muay maats, the use a lot of combinations who ends up on low kicks
@@trujilloroldancarlosarturo4281 first off watch ‘muay Thai library chanchai teep’ and ‘silapathai teep’ to see how to throw teep properly. These two are legends of the golden era. Too many nowadays throw a readable, predictable teep. Then get used to bouncing that leg. bounce, throw, bounce, feint, punch, teep, bounce, etc. All the while you should shift and pivot slightly so as to not be a stationary target.
@@clintj and it looks more as a counter, I try to use it but i fail miserably, i'm going to put my efforts on get a fast and powerful teep
Nice video bro
I’m 6’7 215lb so this will definitely help me know what to focus on and practice !
6’5” 200 lbs here Buddy, same here.
Good luck!
Thx man
As a 1,87cm for 76kg, definitely helpful ! Thanks
Amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for. This video in combination with The Modern Martial Artist's video on Lennox Lewis has made me very excited for kickboxing sparring next week! Thanks for all the great content Gabriel!
Different body types have different advantages and disadvantages. Bigger doesn't mean auto win against smaller fighter even if both fighters are equal in skill.
@@YamamotoKazuo clearly. I'm not saying that bigger always means better. I just happen to be tall and lengthy and this video fits my physique. If I had shorter limbs and was smaller I would've said the same thing in the corresponding video
Great content, will we see a video for fighting with different limb lengths? You could easily be the taller opponent, but have a much short wingspan. Are there any advamtages to be long torso'd except lower centre of gravity?
thats actually a great question that needs a video, i hope he sees this
Can't wait for short and stocky
You are good!
Thank you.
Thank u coach
I can’t stop watching this shit man good stuff :)
I’ll keep this in mind when I fight my next opponent
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey love the content, can you do a video in this series on a shorter fighter with a longer reach??
Bulked up tall powerlifter, watching every damn one of these clips.
The correct answer if you are a tall and lean guy is to simply show up to beginner classes and let your ego flourish. Maybe being taller isn't as insurmountable an advantage between two skilled opponents with a height difference, but amongst beginners it makes you nearly bulletproof.
Reach is definitely an adavantage. I find it funny that some people think the clinch favors the tall man. I guess in some instances it does favour the knees of a tall man but a good clincher can just as easily neutralize a tall mans clinch and dump him easier.
You are the best
I’m 5’11” fighting at 135lbs. Needed to see this vid
I really like the side kick + plus long gaurd tip. Plus, the advice of learning multiple gaurds to deal with the different distances.
Me too!
This is very helpfull thnx
long Guard seems like a Karate stance? Lyoto had a very sim style with a great defense backing up with arms out like you say....awesome vid!!
Just seeing this after watching the trailer countdown for Nate vs Leon😁😁
i love you man
Feel like I've just done a PHD in fighting as a tall guy, thanks !
Thomas Hearns is on of my favorite Fighters ever
Can u do short and lean? Amazing video man 💥💥💥
Gabriel how useful is the oblique (savate) kick in mma and kickboxing and how is it used differently in each?
I'm 6'4 160 pounds this will help with sparring so much thank you🙏🏻
Eat food before you waste away and die
Front kicks/ oblique kicks and side kicks good to keep them out. Great offensively and defensively.
i am gonna try those things out
so damn underrated
I’m 6’4 and fight at 170 thank you I’ve grown to like the Dutch style guard but also the loose point karate style as well it all depends on my opponent
I have the same height and weight lmao, first fight in October
