@@willolol3353 I don't mean that offensively, it's just true. Don't look directly at the camera unless you're far enough away to wear your jaw line makes sense. You're so close the shadows make your face flat
@willolol3353 I looked at your other videos. You have a pretty normal jaw but this profile picture makes you look like the Beta male meme. just don't look directly at the camera so we can see your jaw or have light on to your face. So it doesn't make your face flat.
Now this was such of a useful video Gabriel, thank you so much for making these tips on head movement, the most, where I found to correct my technique, was with slipping shots, and I will be sure, to practice rolling with shots too, to implement them, into my arsenal!
sensei seth said to have a friend simulate shots with a hose, that seems fun and helpfull to me. what do you guys think? sometimes i think to much about perfect practice instead of just practicing. but some things seem very important to me, for example hardening the body and legs for impact, but i hate it.
This is a bit awkward to ask, but it happens to me in sparring that I use the Dutch guard, and I always get hit in the belly, I have a big belly so it is an easy target, what can I do to defend myself from body blows? considering that I have this problem, it is awkward the transition to lose weight and in the meantime not adapt to these things because my arms do not cover the total of my belly, I hope I have explained well
Body conditioning. Get hit in your stomach more to build tolerance. Or be fast on your feet. Most people get hit in the stomach since it's the easiest target. They just try to roll with the punches. Try exhaling when you get punched. That will help lessen the impact. No matter the size of the person they'll probably get hit in the stomach the most.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial kk ty also i cut my kb cuz of gcse so i need me some drills to maintain my current levels as much as possible do u have a vid on that?
Hey coach what do you think of elbow lifts/blocks for MMA? Im talking about a philly shell/cross guard wing block. High level fighters like Sean Strickland, Dustin Poirer and ive even seen Alex Pereira use them. Arent you worried about smaller MMA gloves punching the back of the ear? This is exactly how Dustin got KOd by Connor in their first fight, and Bas Rutten has also talked about this
It can catch you alot, When beginning, keep your hands up. Also, if you keep your roll sharp and short instead of a super exaderated "u" shape, you will have more room to pull or slip or reset to avoid that kick. And keep your eyes on the opponent the whole time don't just duck
Don't forget about the GLORY glove giveaway that's happening right now.

Can you teach more of combining head movement with footwork at the same time.
Funny coincidence, I'm a coach and this week i decided we're going to train slip n roll, thanks for tips 👍
@@Gorillaspoons thx you made me realize i had to change profile pic lol
@willolol3353 Bro change it again even if you don't have a strong jawline, this picture makes it look like you don't have a jaw line

@@Gorillaspoons I think you're projecting your own insecurity and you wish you were as pretty as me 😍
Where's your face ?

I was struggling with this, especially training alone. This was so helpful

Did you take the Mark of the Beast?
I need a browser script which skips the first @1:30 of every single video. It's always just adverts.
I heard rolling is a no no in muay thai it's dangerous for kicks
Hi newbie here, If I roll after every combo, would I really be able to avoid my opponent when they end their combo with a kick?
It can catch you alot, When beginning, keep your hands up. Also, if you keep your roll sharp and short instead of a super exaderated "u" shape, you will have more room to pull or slip or reset to avoid that kick. And keep your eyes on the opponent the whole time don't just duck
