1:38 Check out a quick mini tutorial on the high level sweep landed in this sparring session. I love when I drill something and then 2 days later I land it 😄
great, heres the thing though.. You talked about the russians sparring too hard... if you have someone like that, what do you do? Do you tell them to chill out? do you try to match them and fall in to their trap? Or do you just say, ok thats enough, spar with someone else!
Such a high standard of sparring. A high technical level, moderate intensity, and high volume. This is exactly how you spar without serious injury or brain damage risks whilst still actually improving your fight skills in a practical way.
Great video. What the average Joe doesn't understand is that you guys make it look so easy with the good form etc., but it take years to get to that point. Even being able to maintain an upright position for extended time while remaining near the pocket is SO hard! Very nice and thank you for sharing. Gives me a goal...
so true. i've been watching my own sparring videos and notice how much my hands drop during the round even though it feels like they're up when I'm in the moment
1:00 - teep to fake to other side knee. Loved it when I saw it first in Superbon v Grigorian, he nearly lifted Marat all the way off the floor with the force of his knee. Beautiful setup
Great that you have a goal to focus on during the training camp. It really helps when you have something you want to work on, because it kind of ties all the things you're trying together into one underlying concept.
This is amazing content. Theres a lot to learn from every second of it, at least for simple amateurs like me. Head positioning, fakes, that sweep, etc. Im very grateful for this channel
Nice well executed and controlled sparring, love to see that. I just had 5 amazing rounds with partners at my gym today so this video just makes me ride that high again, thanks.
Seeing this video makes me think that coaches should periodically show footage like this to their students to better understand proper etiquette and what good sparring looks looks like.
Great stuff. Strong teeps. Excellent sparring partner. One way to force more head or just body movement might be to target the back leg. The close-in Dutch shell is great with the big gloves but... Plus in and out jabs with the smaller gloves do a lot of work.
Loved the break down of the sweep! But I have major problems on how much power and where to hit. Some say at he base of their foot and some say higher up at the calf 🤷♂️ Would love more sparring videos! ♥
Hi Gabriel. In regards to the first sweep. How did you execute the timing so well? Was the kick telegraphed to you? Do you preemptively throw your own kick with the goal of landing a low kick or getting the sweep? Or was it purely good reaction skills through drilling? Keep the great content coming. thank you
I'm certain few good places would object having a nice friendly world champion coming by to train. They're getting as much out of this as you are. You train, they get to train with you, and we get cool footage. Everybody wins. :)
I need a sparring partner like this. I was sparring at the gym I go to and one of the guys rocked me kind of good with a hook to the head. Had to take a sec to recover. I'm a 41 year old beginner and he's a late teen who also does Jiu Jitsu. Yeahhhhhh. 😫 The last few weeks have been a bit brutal because there are two people training for a competition.
Gabriel ... Can u make a video abt how to make your fighting style ....bcoz i am confused what type of gaurd to use and etc...can u make a video abt it please
Hey I know your pretty busy with being in camp training hard if you ever have free time at some point could you make a video on how to counter leg kicks because I have a fight coming up with a shorter k1 fighter and he kicks low often thanks Gabriel 🤙
What I found that works is to constantly try to get to the outside of your opponent's lead leg, that will put your opponent in an awkward position to hit you. If you're on your opponent's outside, and he's on your inside you are in a much more advantageous position, both for defense and offense.
@@wickedfreestyle102 who won't be? That's the dream of every fighter right? But it's not his main focus. If he really wanted to ne in the ufc he would have already being in the contender. But he enjoys his striking more than mixing martialarts.
Now I feel like you have the two shin guards on purpose or something... spoke too soon. Hayabusa got some sick shinny's, you should upgrade lol. I'm sure they'd want you looking fresh
Head gear doesn't reduce brain trauma. The studies are conclusive on that. They protect from bumps and bruises but the head still gets jarred the same. That's why headgear is out of the Olympics. Plus you get hit more with a headgear on. I may spar some karate guys. I'll have to see.
Thanks for uploading consistantly even tho u are in ur camp
Yeah hugely agree it's great

Will you ever lift the mystery about the two different shin pads?🤔
My assumption:
One gives +5 boost to dexterity the other boosts +5 strength
Ooo-weee! Awesome content, champ!

Well said homie
so true. i've been watching my own sparring videos and notice how much my hands drop during the round even though it feels like they're up when I'm in the moment
Just like a K-1 commentator said one time: "The easier it looks, the harder it's to do it."
I really enjoy the sparring breakdown! Hopefully we can get more of these in the future
For sure. And I'll be going faster in a few weeks so the rounds will be more entertaining.
That's a quality sparring partner. Great level of control but still throwing solid volume with some snap.

I humbly appreciate this sparring breakdown videos. Thank you, Gabrial. :)

Great stuff! More footage please! The flow you guys had is so smooth! 0 ego in the air!
This is some beautiful technical sparring. Literally everything looks perfect form.
That combo at the 50 second mark damn Gabriel!! 3 Low 2 6 2. Crisp!!!
This must be one of the best sparring videos I've seen. Magnificent!
Keep up the great work Gabriel! Looking forward to more updates from camp! Stay motivated, stay rested, stay SHARP!
Beautiful work! As usual, humble, no ego, just pure martial art spirit. Keep up with the training camp videos!
amazing sparring partner, a joy to watch
Wish I had sparring partners like this.
Your movement is always so crisp Gabriel, I always think you almost look like a video game character with your perfect form
Great example of the perfect mix between flow sparring without losing the pressure and intensity.
Keep the sparring videos coming 👊🙏
This is awesome to see. Your tutorials are fantastic but the sparring helps put things in perspective. Keep up the good work!
Love that sweep , u timed it really good. And respect for the guy, he for sure knows control.
Great sparring, technical and light
Looking strong Gabe! Can't wait to see the next fight
Loving these sparring videos!
Glad you like them! I'll keep them coming as I pick up the pace in camp.
Great that you have a goal to focus on during the training camp. It really helps when you have something you want to work on, because it kind of ties all the things you're trying together into one underlying concept.

Please make more if you can!

Beautifull sparring. I apriciate level of control both of you have. I mean control of ego.
Great sparring
Good spirit, nice techniques, trying to find openings and working combinaisons.
💪
Nice sparring! High volume mid/low intensity. I'm very curious how much you'll up the intensity as the camp goes on. Great content as always!
Damn, that was some nice, crisp, fast paced and technically advanced sparring. 💥👍
Very nice! More sparing please😁
Beautiful sparring.

Nice editing for sparrings review
Loved the break down of the sweep!
But I have major problems on how much power and where to hit. Some say at he base of their foot and some say higher up at the calf 🤷♂️
Would love more sparring videos! ♥
I thought it was gonna be some super cool like “one is for kickboxing one is more Thai” for the shin guards question but that caught me off guard 😂
Amazing footage the in camp videos are great you should do one of yours runs in the morning as like a vlog style thing that could be quite cool 👍
His reaction to getting swept tells you he is a stand up dude.
Nice looks like fun
Hi Gabriel. In regards to the first sweep. How did you execute the timing so well? Was the kick telegraphed to you? Do you preemptively throw your own kick with the goal of landing a low kick or getting the sweep? Or was it purely good reaction skills through drilling?

Can you talk about the rhythm step in the next video? Pros, cons, why people do it, how to do it and not get caught, etc.

Can you make a core workout !!
Shit that’s the best kind of sparring
I would like to see a colab between you and Bazooka Joe, that would be awesome
more sparring footage with background commentary would be great! its amazing content, and i think i say that for most of Your viewers
Insane stamina, I do 2 minutes with half of the movement and I am dying^^
yea I heard from someone who was training at tiger in the late 2000s and they said that whenever the Dutch guys came in… it was war.
nice sparring
Use the liver combo more it works very consistently because its a level change.
Very good nice sparring advice you are just damaging each other for no reason
Gabriel ... Can u make a video abt how to make your fighting style ....bcoz i am confused what type of gaurd to use and etc...can u make a video abt it please
I can make something more detailed but start with this one:

Awesome video coach!
How do you find your sparring partners?

XMartial is my gear sponsor.

1:49 is nuts
When you sweep the leg, is it a normal low kick movement? or are you hooking it back a bit?
Can you make a vidio about you warming up before sparring?
For sure. Thanks for the suggestion 🙏
I think I speak for all of us when I say we want to see you in the UFC Gabriel
Not me dawg he clearly doesn't love mma like he does pure stricking and thats ok he is a master stricker
Nah that shit is too common now days. Lets enjoy this pure talented strikers.
But Gabriel said he wants to be in the UFC
@@wickedfreestyle102 who won't be? That's the dream of every fighter right? But it's not his main focus. If he really wanted to ne in the ufc he would have already being in the contender. But he enjoys his striking more than mixing martialarts.
"the drunken master"
knight to D5...F4...G2
I blinked and missed it ^^
Weeee !
Phil has some legs. Damn
How often do you spar in camp?
Gabriel, why don’t you use headgear when sparring,
How many ounces do you spar in
I've got on 16oz. I'm assuming my sparring partner has the same but I didn't check.
I think anyone who goes too hard in sparring needs to watch this. And this is coming from someone who used to be a bonehead and spar to kill.
My coach was saying to spar at 30% but at the lowest 30% between you and your partner since everyone's 30% is different.
Now I feel like you have the two shin guards on purpose or something... spoke too soon. Hayabusa got some sick shinny's, you should upgrade lol. I'm sure they'd want you looking fresh
Your knee ok?
Why do your shin guards don't match?
Saenchai said in one interview that muay thay fighter that has less than 200 fights is not real muay thay fighter
Where are you located?
I live in Victoria, Canada.
Why arnt you wearing head guards ? To protect your brain .
Will you also be sparing karate guys if this is for Karate combat ?
Head gear doesn't reduce brain trauma. The studies are conclusive on that.
They protect from bumps and bruises but the head still gets jarred the same.
That's why headgear is out of the Olympics. Plus you get hit more with a headgear on.
I may spar some karate guys. I'll have to see.
This dude's legs are like tree trunks.
He seems to be sparring even lighter then you.
Whenever I watch your channel and my nephew's are around only speak esponal and they always refer your last name as verga by accident
