What do you think of super wide stances? To be avoided or utilized in the correct moments? Only days left to get early bird pricing on my STRIKE READY Offense Course!!! Register here strikereadycombat.com/assault/ The course starts October 7th with 3 live calls included.
My favourite Muay Thai instructor taught me three main stances to master: a narrow defensive stance with the lead foot tapping, a balanced rocking stance shifting weight forward and back, and a wide attack stance for moments of punching. Because of this teaching I got used to the idea of having multiple stances for different scenarios, but always had those three stances as strong base that I'm comfortable going back to if under pressure. There's always an advantage to having more weapons and I think it's good to view each stance as a different weapon
Love your channel! IMHO Inoue and the Russian boxer Bivol are great at the Russian pendulum, step bouncing in and out, striking and moving (Ali was also a master). I agree with everything you said (of course). My instructors in Japan in the early 80's talked about power versus speed with the stance width. As you showed, the longer the stance the more power you can hit with but watch out if your opponent is fast. lol..
Great stuff Gabriel. Just today as an example told us to do a combination of a normal jab from a normal stance and drop down to the body with a body cross and widen our stance a whole lot! So yeah I honestly think this should be utilized depending on the different situation Gabriel.🥊
Wide stance + bladed is for in and out power but you lose a bit of rotational power the more wide you get. Narrow is for more lateral movement and rotational power. Both have their uses, and you just need to know when you use each. The photo taken of inoue in this video is when inoue mainly pokes with the jab. He’s extremely fast with it due to his footwork.
If it has a benefit then it is not necessarily a mistake. Roy Jones would do something similar by putting a lot of weight on the front leg when he would try to get a little bit extra reach with his lead hand. But he was often off balance and it led to him being countered sometimes. But other times it paid off.
leaning back and then inside low kick on his lead leg and he would end up in a split. i saw a study on baseball pitchers and the ones who had a wider stance throw the fastest balls, i think that translates to power in boxing, also traditional martial arts also have wide stances very often
Hey Gabriel I had a question I was wondering if I could get your input on it. When you see a mistake or opening do you build on it to make sure it lands flush? Do you fire immediately so your opponent doesn’t realize what he’s done wrong? If you do build on an opening what are you doing? Been watching for as long as I’ve been training (2.5 years) you’re a big role model of mine as far as temperament and fighting goes. Gratitude from Chicago

It probably should only be done by someone that is advanced. And it has to have some kind of benefit.

Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson is another successful fighter who often uses a wide stance
That's because he does a lot of kicks especially spinning kicks so there is list of a drawback then somebody that does that as a boxer
@@DeagleBeagleyou are out of context.
Advanced strikings are beginner mistakes done with purpose.
Icy Mike’s burner!??? 😂😂
Well said
1:28 happens literally everywhere. I experienced this in healthcare and both construction working
That stance works for Naoya! Doesn't mean it would work for others!

It's not about the length of your stance, but how you use it :)

First! Man I found this in 20 seconds😳 I just wanted to say, I love your content, and you are a big motivation to me!
Amazing to hear. Thanks so much for your kind comment
Gabriel im curious what is the tallest person youve sparred with?
I can answer that one..... 6 feet 8 1/2 inches.
Gabriel's dad - Keith Varga
@@kvarga9164wow almost a 7 footer
Check Bivol and tell me a wide stance is slow. The guy has the best boxing footwork atm.
