Thank you, coming from wrestling into mma and kicks are foreign ofc. This is very helpful
varga is the man 💪check out muay thai guy on youtube or ig. he has a lot of free kicking follow along videos and other great content. i learned how to switch kick very well using one of his tutorials, and how to use my body to kick rather then just my legs.
Liam Harrison is another great one to follow on RUclips. Great fighter and explains things clearly and simply, and you know it works, same as with Mr Varga here :)

You are a real life genuine Sensei. We are a group of amateurs in our 40s who train mostly for exercise some are former fighters. we call you sensei Varga. We find your videos invaluable in our sessions. Thank you for your work and many blessings in your endeavors.
Absolutely love this video! We are in our 75s and we still fighting !
Awesome vid as always. I gotta say I do love seeing tidbits of things we train in traditional karate in these videos as well :) I only say this because sometimes traditional martial arts are criticized on not being practical vs modern styles and sometimes it is a matter of how you interpret the movements.
For example, something that we learn a lot to do is to block kicks with the "opposite hand", as you explained here. Although here you mention the advantage vs the Question Mark Kick, the reasoning we tend to use as well is that you can position yourself towards your opponent's back, which is more advantageous in the end, and at least you force them to repossition/fix their stance.
3:30 man, I learnt this the hard way. Even holding pads was painful before I figured it out lol
Oh man, Varga walking down my aisle and stepping on my toes! LOL I totally do a few of these mistakes! Thanks for the Refresher!
Always like these defense refreshers. And good to see I don't make these mistakes 🙂
Love the advise. Thank you!
amazing tips!
Thank you Sir!
Great tips!
Thanks for the content Gabriel 🤝
thank you for these videos.
Thank you for sharing Gabriel
Thanks for your advice
Excellent reminders as always
Thank you! You're an awesome martial artist 👍
Thank you. Enjoyed the information. Can't wait until your next fight!
Thanks for the vid
I'm looking to get back into sparring and this is a great review. Thank you!
Thank you, Gabriel.
Great tips as always. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom
Gabriel to say your videos are helpful is an understatement. Thank you so much for this content!
A lot of what you’re saying is what we practice. Good to hear it from my coaches and a pro like your self.
Yayyyy Gabriel video
this is so helpful, i actually got injured from not checking kicks correctly.
it makes so much sense to adjust the angle.
thanks gabriel, will try as soon as i‘m back in sparring!
Very helpful.
Your channel is a blueprint my friend ! 👺❤
Great video! Would have like to watch it with demonstration too
Helpfull Video 👌
This channel is truly a goldmine.
Also, don't forget that scoop blocking with the wrong side hand specifically the lead side teep can set you up with a straight-line blast from the power side punch
Gr8 advice
You're just a fountain of pure information
every word is gold
Liam Harrison is an advocate of the (full body torque) cross block followed by punching combo. Then a nice leg kick to remember him by 😄
Vamos! 🤜🤛
These are important basics.
Like before even watching yet🔥🔥
I like the fade back to the side as opposed to the front also because you're better balanced as well with the back legs in better support. It's way better than leaning back because if I see someone fade back leaning backwards from my kick I'm going to fake and throw a downward punch into their stomach or shoulder ram them to knock them down.
Great vid. Always teaching me to stay defensive
3:35 you can hear the whoosh of the punch through the air heh i love your work thank you for everything
Hi idol from the Philippines
All great and very helpful info. For the first one specifically though, personally, I feel like most people (outside of the most elite) should just not do scooping at all simply because most people do it wrong (with flared out elbows, huge circle with outstretched hands, low shoulders, and all that) yet end up relying on it too much as their first defensive maneuver against the front kick. Simply stepping back out of the way or deflecting/parrying the kick as you angle out while still maintaining elbows close to the body seems far, far safer than scooping. Scooping should really be reserved for the high level who can utilize it with intent as a setup for a counter.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 glad someone has pulled UFC fighters on checking kicks wrongly! Thought it was just me that saw this was so common 😂
I wonder if the fade back with a twist could be implemented on the pull and counter in boxing. 1, 2 pull with twist, it prims the 2 even more and counter with a two with extra twist force.
It would be very helpful to see all this in practice, with some sparring video .
🙏thanks for sharing this it will be helpful !!!! i have my first amateur kickboxing match coming up jan 28. i am 40 and looking to try to make a run at a belt, montreal fight league. LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck 👍
I live near Montreal how do I get a fight in Montrea fight league
Man I often do the incorrect leg kick check when I get tired. I then get kicked in the side of the knee which messes my knee up pretty bad haha
I'm training to become one of God's Arch Angel's (gaining special abilities to fly around killing demons in the after life) Your videos are very helpful for my beginners sparring adventure. Thanks Hero Legend "Gabriel Varga"
Hey 👋 good morning 🙏 hope all good and well. That was good 👍 today bro and enjoy have a great day 😀 have fun 👍 😀
It’s pretty amazing how many mistakes pros get away with in mma
When the head kick is coming to your open side and doing the lean back do you just lean back more squares off. ?Otherwise If you rotate you will be rotating your face towards the kick?
Hey I like your all teaching kickboxing videos but I ask one question about myself and 41 years old and can possible to learn kickboxing just for my self defence?
3:22 my coach says exactly that
on the last defense mistake: fading back with the shoulder rotating right (for those left foot foward) this is only to be used from kicks of opponents right leg, correct?
Not sure, because the idea of that movement is you can go further back to create more distance to avoid the kick. Also you have the shoulder on one side plus the hand on the other for defense.
If i am southpaw against a orthodox i inverter It?
Any chance of addressing changes in opposite stances? Like if you would guard the front kick differently if you were opposite stances?
Its still left hand left foot and vice versa
If you’re facing a southpaw
Southpaw front(right) teep - use right to party
Rear(left) teep - use left hand
coming back to this after seeing Beneil Dariush trying to block headkicks with one hand against Charles Oliveira and getting knocked out 🤌🏾
Wax on, wax off!
More content with Mike and Seth tomorrow?
Is there a reason you prefer to flex the foot up on checks?
Not sure if it's Varga's reason but I have heard before that flexing the foot up helps absorb the impact a bit better because the calf muscles are engaged. Feels sturdier.
depends on if you want to check the kick with muscle or bone. up for muscle, down for bone
@@allanthomasmendozalopez4858 this is partly true, you are flexing up to engage your tibialis anterior muscle
yeah idk, my 1st trainer which was more karate said flex the foot and it definitely tightens up the muscles next to the shin. But my more recent thai trainer said point toes down when checking lol so idk
Left hand to left foot, right hand to right foot or wax on, wax off!!
Imagine varga in the ufc 😮
He wouldn't get far, he would be lightweight division. Just so happens to have probably the highest level wrestlers of all the divisions
@@snakethepeg7828 He would be featherweight which is a more striker dominant division
He's been in bellator
6:30 the Thai fighters would disagree. From what I’ve seen they increase risk for a shot to the inner thigh, but gain the advantage of less pain to their shin due to checking the foot, rather then shin on shin, which causes tremendous pain (or even a flat out broken foot) to the opponent. I mean, wouldn’t shin on shin basically be a battle of the hardest shin? If their shin is conditioned more, they’ll go through my defense.
I've always thought this...I've just started Muay Thai and it seems mad to me to block a bone with your bone because it hurts so much even with light contact...I wouldn't have thought you could take too many full force kicks without it having effect
@@jonathanplummer129 shin on shin protects a bigger portion of the leg which you’re standing on, but at the same time has its risks by having you limping or flat out breaking your shin if it’s weaker than the opponent his shin. However it’s a valid way of defending, but one I would prefer not to. I prefer to defend like the Thais
@@dominus6224 yeah I get why they do it...but I'm with you....shin on shin definitely seems to be a battle of who had the hardest shins which in itself is a risk...that beng said on new to Muay Thai so maybe my opinion will change with experience
The idea with checking shin on shin is to damage your opponent. When you kick you generally aim to land with the bottom of your shin, and when you check you aim to block with the top of your shin or even the knee cap. The higher up on the shin the thicker the bone, so your opponent will always be hurt more than you if you check their kick properly.
7:06 jojo reference
Kecks lol
In real life, you can destroy your opponent’s shinbones. Especially of they are an excellent roundhouse kicker. Just counter teep kick punish their shinbone. That’s why it is illegal in the cage and ring☝️Very powerful against a roundhouse kick, the most basic teep kick
I also like to check with the foot up. Because you can instantly follow up with a oblique kick to their standing leg, or do a leg destruction (obviously not in sport, only real fighting). The foot up also allows for a secondary check with the bottom of your foot, and to come down with the heel on a target (often their foot to break it and pin them, or take off the knee cap, rake the inside of the shin etc).
Dude If I were in the UFC I would reach out to you. It just sucks you'de have to get 30 tats and start screaming stupid shit to be noticed quickly. Ide love to see what you could do in any respective division you choose!
He doesn't like mma
@@cahallo5964 I understand, it is pretty messy
People who say dutch blocks don't work are absolutely noobs.
(almost) FIRST!!!
I would destroy Vargas in a fight
You better be a great grappler or a high level kickboxer yourself cuz if not your gettin slept
With the fade back i don’t understand the dropping of the lead hand… why not just fade back an keep it tucked to ur chin
