I have a weird question, should I keep my kicking foot flexed whenever I throw round kicks regardless of target or should I keep it relaxed with my toes pointing down
I love how you want to constantly improve the channel. You listen to some follower that told you a constructive critic about the intro and now you applied that. You're the best Gabriel!!!!
@@OverCowboy i think it actually suits him more, more relaxed but still sharp as ever. you might like the old music more since he's had it for years and your brain just associates it with him; the brain is quite resistant to change
@@marcsonic01 The brain has nothing to do with this unless you vouch to pay for an electroencephalogram and figure out. I think it's a matter of taste, the new one seems over the top and cocky, nothing like Gabriel presents himself. The old one was diled in and also colder. Honestly I regret commenting overall after seing "the brain" argument.
As a boxer, I agree with the punching stuff mentioned. I even agree with the lead hook to the body without dipping/or slipping the head towards the lead side. (Which is still ok and very common to do, and I use that dip most of the time) But I do agree that from an upright stance throwing the lead hook to the body is more powerful, but I'm more worried about precision then power, ( my lead/left hook is looking to nail the liver) but the main reason why I would not slip/dip when throwing the left hook is because it's way less telegraphed. So when I do throw the lead hook to the body with the slip/dip it's because I'm getting my head off the center (as you did mention) but because of the telegraph of the dip/slip I will set that up or use as a counter for there right hand. But being that dipping rather than from a upright stance is a little less Powerful but still plenty of power (enough to do the job) to hurt that liver and even finish the fight.the liver is so sensitive, but I don't have to tell you , LoL. My point is I like to use both. Like many controversial or preference techniques I like to use both if it's beneficial to me and my style. Now if I was a kickboxer or fighting in any sport that has Kicking to the Head, I would think it'd be best to slip and dip less as possible, or not at all. I would think. Thank for this video I always get a lot out of your videos.
Mikes Tysons peek a boo style seems to be missing from this conversation. The step and lean in is def gonna reduce power, but the slip and hop in allows you to get to a closer lateral position with your feet under you so you drive a full power shot and follow up with other close range power shots. Also if you are a heavy weight and have massive power like George foreman you can easily lean in and still have huge power.
As a boxer you SHOULDN'T agree. It is PERFECTLY possible to lean forward and deliver ENORMOUS amount of power in your hook. If you squat and deliver the power from the ground. Much like what Mike Tyson or Joe Frazier would do (in different ways). What you have to do is go DOWN and then UP with your punch, using the HIPS, not the shoulders, and transfer your weight to the other leg. In a way that if he goes back and you miss, or you train in on the air, you'll completely change your weight to the other leg. That can be done by a more square position or a gazelle like punch. You shouldn't lean your WHOLE body forward, but only bend at your waist. Your head will STILL be between your legs. Think like that. Instead on focusing on putting your head forward, think on pushing your but back, like when squatting. If you only put your head forward then, yeas, you'll be out of balance. You should bend on YOURSLEF, at your waist, like if you were closing a book.
@@brendanstocks6388 I would suggest Gabriel to search on youtube now: Salvador Sanchez: THE BEST EXPLAINED (Slips, Level Changes). More than once Gabriel straight up said things that the GRATEST did "don't work".
Gabriel is def right about losing power when you lean in on the hook. But kinda sad he didn't mention the peek a boo hop in, by doing that you get your head of the center line, like when you lean in, except because you hopped in your feet are right under you allowing you to get a max power body shot and follow up with other devastating close range attacks(uppercuts, head hooks, knees, takedowns, etc)
Awesome! Thank you so much for this video Gabriel I really checked all of my basics and learned a few mire new details about throwing the overhand Gabriel, an amazing video non the less! 🥊
On pointing the foot during knees for better mobility/flexibility: I'm guessing it's related to how people can stretch their leg more easily with a pointed toe. It seems to loosen things up a bit as well as reduce pain signals from a nerve in the leg.
Gabriel, I am a young fighter, and I am genuinely curious, if it is too personal I understand, but how are you making enough money to support yourself while not fighting in huge promotions getting $500,000 a fight win or lose, and how did you support yourself in glory when the payout for kickboxing is so low compared to some other combat sports/promotions

Bushido on the mainland (Drako) makes a far superior BOB dummy than Century. It’s way more dense like an actual body, and they made the dummy asian so the nose doesn’t get ripped off from training.
Our Bob dummy is something we only have because we would use it when we are teaching kids classes. Kids love it. It is a good training aid for that - but not really good for adults training..... unless someone does not hit any harder than a 9 year old, as it moves around too much. Gabriel uses it for videos now and then, but that is it. Gabriel's dad - Keith varga
@@kvarga9164 another thing that makes the Drako one far superior. Fill it with sand and it doesn’t move at all. Not everyone can have a designated area though, so understanding if not realistic for some spaces. We use it for all beginners to practice accuracy.
I'm starting to think about my next online course. The first one was defense focused.
What should I instruct in the next one???

I didnt even notice the intro was taken out LOL what was the criticism BTW?
Actually much better with the short intro, no need for skipping
Love the new brief intro and the knee tips ! Excellent cue with knees 'poking through ' 💥🦵
I miss the old music, it seemed more in character

This is very useful information. Particularly about the overhand right.
Will practice these. Thanks!

Overhand info simple & helped!
Thanks again! I 100% lean forward when doing left body shot, and feel like it's lacking in power. Gotta try what you said. Awesome stuff dude.
gold, real gold.
Great video. I like these type of videos. Good to learn about common mistakes and focus on correcting it.

Bobby literally vanished?! How did he do that?
Can we get the old entrance back pls
