Good luck, alongside everything Gabe mentioned, don't back down even if you get scared. It's mostly will against will in there. Just have the mindset that you won't allow yourself to get bullied and that''s gonna carry you quite a lot, especially in a 1st fight. Expanding your belly when breathing in through the nose as deep as you can and exhaling as much air as you can, all at once is gonna do wonders for you in the corner or even when waiting for them to call your name. Also, please try to stay conscious of your general breathing throughout the bout itself as much as you can, it's gonna improve your all around game by at least a level.
I still remember my first warm up over 10 years ago...I've never done it since or before but first thing my coach said was right cross on the pads (everyone including my opponent watching in the back)and I straight up punched like 5 inches to my left of the pad and nearly fell over 🤣 adrenaline Is a crazy thing.
Thanks Gabriel i have another fight the day after tomorrow and I feel like the nerves ruin my performance every time i step in there. This gives me some things to think about and hopefully it doesn't bother me so bad this time
Man.. I had that warm up exhaustion in my first interclub the other day and I really wondered what was wrong with me, really messed with my head and ultimately my performance. So good to hear that it’s normal. Will keep in mind during my actual fight next month💪
Great tips! #6 Warm up beforehand is critical! #1 is hard for people especially first time, veterans most so combat vets understand the mindset and that’s once the bell rings for round start war has begun until it rings to mark the end. Gotta use that mindset but also control it.
This channel is amazing. It really covers a variety of super important but usually overlooked topics. It's these little things that help so much, like knowing it's normal that your warmup feels terrible. I've had this happen myself and thought it was just my body going into the freeze (figh, flight or freeze) mode. But hearing that it's common just wil make it so much more easy in the future to deal with it, as it won't be another factor of unwanted stress just before the event. Thank you so much for all this top-notch content 🙏🏼
I started kickboxing 2 months ago and I want to fight in maybe 2 months from now thank you for giving us all these advices I hope you make more of these videos
I recommend You to do an exhibition before an amateur fight thats the way i do it and the exhibition teach me a lot of thing that are useful in a amateur fight.Sorry for My inglish i'm Uruguayan
@@palerewinit‘s great that you‘re that passionate about it. Maybe that’s the right way for you. But I did the same and I can recommend if you‘re realizing it was way too early don’t force yourself to get back in the ring too soon. I fought, was totally scared and not good enough, got Ko‘d and signed up for a fight like 6 weeks later. That one was horrible. So if its a good experience, take it and move on. But if it’s a bad one, don‘t blame yourself, you got so much time to get better ❤️💪
I lost my first fight 1 week ago and would have love to watch this before (specially number 6). 2 more important tips: 1) Rest a lot the week before 2) Check your gear.
In my first fight (full contact) it was a draw and at the end I had to run to the bathroom. in the fight and before I was okay but at the end it seemed like I relaxed haha🤣🤣🤣greetings from Argentina
Amazing tips for the first fight someone will have Gabriel, this will be really helpful for me when I get my first fight, it should happen in the spring of 2024!
Thank you so much. Exactly the 6. Tipp is super. I experience IT so offen. And Thema my Body gets warm and I'm ready to bang 5times stronger than before :)
@@kanekiH-di1rn … lost 29-28 unfortunately. It was a close fight and he def wore more of the damage by the end of the fight. I think I landed the bigger of the shots he just landed more shots. I for sure gassed my self after the first and had an adrenaline dump but hey I learned and I’ll be back for sure. Was his 9th time stepping in the cage and my first and we put up a hell of a fight. Fs want a rematch when I get more experience
@@maroonghnatios2546went so great couldnt wish for any scenario more perfect. Try to stay social for as long as possible with your team and not go into quiet fight mode hyping yourself up cause you’ll gas yourself alot doing that. Only do that a few minutes before you make the ring walk. Don’t sit there tensed up ready to throw bombs 1.5 hours before you have to fight. The rounds are so quick. Listen to your corners and don’t try to murder him in the 1st. Save your gas tank and do what your coach tells you to. I’ve sparred hard with bigger and better boxers during camp so the fight was easier than i expected tbh. Don’t forget to enjoy everything, the whole day will go by so fast. Let me know how it went tomorrow and good luck!
@@maroonghnatios2546 Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, everything went wrong. I was so ready both physically and mentally and everything looked so perfect. My opponent was seemingly supposed to have his first fight as well, but this is where it started. Since he started to warmup and stuff, all trainers and guys around started to say that it is definitely not his first fight. To start with, he didnt even make weight and nobody told me and they just moved us up a weight class. The first punch he landed on me was a random slap that ruptured my eardrum. I could not hear for like half an hour. Nevertheless, I went through the first 3 minute round quite well. We exchanged combinations, but I still got rolled. When I told my trainer I couldnt hear, he took off my gloves and said we end. I didnt want to, but he told me it is about health. I felt devastated the whole day. The day after both trainers called me and made sure I am alright. They got to know that the guy had a pro fight won by first round KO and over 50 amateur fights, they just somehow covered it up. So I went with him longer than a pro basically. I also learned a lot from the fight and when I saw the video later, I felt actually quite good about myself. Pretty entertaining fight and good perfomance over all, as one of my trainers said, but the guy was a secret pro, so I could do nothing more than that. I am sorry if it is too long. I tried to make it as short as possible. Let me know how your fight went. Rooting for you.
I got my first fight amateur fight next week. This'll really help me get better. When training in private i always do your workouts, and it's really working. But could you do a pylometric workout if you haven't done one already, or a 10-20 minute full body calisthenics workout for martial arts? I kinda know how i train my skills, but with calisthenics i think i need a guide and i can't afford a coach. If you could do that, it would help me so much.
My first smoker is today! This will help a lot, especially number 1 and 5. Wish me luck!

😀😀 I feel you :D
P.s performed well after and got a win
I just had my first fight today, I can say that seeing this video before would have helped
Had my first amateur bout in Sunday. Watched alot of your content and it certainly helped me with my Victory, if you see this, thanks.
Thank you, brother! I have a fight in a couple of hours, and I'm pretty anxious. Just needed to hear the nerves are normal:)
My first fight is today and i completely underestimated cardio
I will try my best to remain calm and don't rush the process
My first Pro fight is next week! Thanks for the video man, always helping us young fighters evolve !
Thanks Gabriel i have another fight the day after tomorrow and I feel like the nerves ruin my performance every time i step in there. This gives me some things to think about and hopefully it doesn't bother me so bad this time

My tip for you is to be patient and practise your skills first, maybe 1 year will be enough
@@Sacciuiguai thats a great advice

Hey varga I love the content, Just wanted to know what happened to the consultations and zoom calls? I really want to book one with you!
First smoker is Friday. Let’s go.
I have my first fight in 2 weeks
I got my first fight amateur fight next week.
This'll really help me get better.
When training in private i always do your workouts, and it's really working. But could you do a pylometric workout if you haven't done one already, or a 10-20 minute full body calisthenics workout for martial arts? I kinda know how i train my skills, but with calisthenics i think i need a guide and i can't afford a coach.
If you could do that, it would help me so much.
how’d u do?
Almost gonna turn 30 and still want my first fight. Is this something I still can do? I feel old but very technical.
Absolutely. Just prepare properly (as everyone should)
30 isn't old and you can definitely get some fights in.
Please do it, you won’t regret. I did my first MT fight at 48yo.
First fight on the 6th of july 👀
About to enter my first amateur tournament just 6 months of training in in october. Nervous af
🙏💪🥊
I lost
ive seen your videos on cardio a few times but have you done a vidoe on how many times a week should you do cardio to prepare?
I have my first fight in 6 days. Im definetely scared and now doubting myself because I didnt really cross train.. Just a few runs once in a while
How did you do mate?
@@southpaw3154 I won. Faced an opponent who didn't have as much experience and a style which was easy for me
Well done bro 🙏
Hey Gabriel i have a question about hydration after hard sessions do you take any electrolyte supplements or drink any sports drinks?
