@@soribasylla4104 PaRT a. Hi Sorbia. Looking to post clip(s). My latest comment explains dynamic.... which was also illustrated during a championship boxing match I watched last night (replay). Opponent boxer was ahead over many rounds... got sloppy with his Philly Shell... going for a body jab (GV did video?), got plowed by a simple R Cross. Tried to continue... but the mind was shocked, and he got pummeled several more times.... then collapsing. There is another karate moral... which GV's audience won't buy... but there it is right smack in front of you in a match where the former champion goes down hard in a split second. CHEERS, as always.😁
Gabriel I really appreciate these vids man I’m about to start my amateur boxing career and defence is always something I’m looking to improve, such practical and useful content it’s great man
These are beautiful pointers. I’m at the very beginning of my MMA journey and my foray into striking in general. I’m going to use this in boxing and Muay Thai tomorrow:)
It's interesting to compare studies on shouting and power generation. Tennis the shouting was very controversial because it didn't sound appealing to traditional audiences. But studies on the subject revealed that shouting increased power generation without noticable difference in effort of the player. Similarly when I watch Canelo train, he is letting those noises go while he strikes. It's forcing air and if the studies on tennis translate 100% to striking should technically be generating more power as a result
I notice a lot of people (mostly Muay Thai I think) initiate their lead hook by bringing their front hand down low first and looping it back up again after torqueing their torso into the shot. And they seem to be harrrd shots that get knockouts. Maybe you can touch on that in a future video as to why they do this. My guess is there's more power (but less defense) and some deception as to what the punch will be since you can change that punch to any angle after that starting position.
Hey Varga, thanks a lot for your videos. I just started kickboxing after 15 years being sedentary. I finally found purpose and pleasure with physical activity through kickboxing . Your videos and the routine in the gym give me enthusiasm and that feeling of learning and improving. I feel like having private extra mentoring with your lessons. Thanks a lot!
Solid video. Peter Yan in MMA and usyk in boxing show these fundamentals in spades. It should be noted that looser form for more power wins plenty of fights tho. I suppose the true great know when to break the rules.
@@paulpelle3046 what's the point of starting the argument in the first place. It's Peter, Petr, Pyotr, Pjotr, Piotr, or whichever transliteration or translation of the name. They are all correct, Yan just happens to prefer one of them.
Love this video :) one comment...During my training trips in Holland in the 90, I have always learned that the elbow must not be over the hand when punching a hook.reasen for this is that the power swips up in sted of thrue the head ....Comments ? :)
Good advice, you got me on the breathing sometimes I have a tendency to worry if I have bad breath. Kinda a weird irrational thing i'm getting over lol.
Really enjoyed this one Gabriel. Even the best fighters in the gym regularly make mistakes on one or more of these. 🤷♂️ Incidentally...many years of hikite took a long time to undo once I started training Muay Thai sir...someone else mentioned this in another of your videos...extremely true though...I’m definitely an ex-karateka only nowadays ✌️😬 PS. The hair! Best it’s ever looked brother...truly (have u dyed that front bit btw?) 🤔😌 PPS. I seriously cannot wait for ‘someone’ (🤦♂️) here to give a bizarre lecture on how great hikite is for defending one’s face/head...we just ‘all don’t understand the full intricacies and genius of the hikite’. CHEERS! 😜🙃🙄
I have a question about bringing the shoulders up when throwing punches. I've been taught that you shouldn't shrug your shoulders up when punching cause you lose power when you do. Like when you throw hooks its better to keep the shoulder relaxed and down cause you land with more power, if you lift your shoulder up and tuck it next to your jaw there's less power in your shots. And If you want to protect your jaw from being hit, you're supposed to tuck your chin down and not lift your shoulder up. Just how I've been trained. I also saw JT from Precision Striking teach it this way.
When you do a sharp exhale you create a vacuum in your lungs which makes it easier to fill on the inhale. Exhale sharply through the mouth, inhale through the nose.
When you can throw 7-10 punches nonstop with textbook technique....
well, you are punching like a champion.
@@stanclark3992 you utter imbecile Stan. Please quit skipping your meds. Cheers 🥂🤦♂️
@Stan Clark @Paul Pelle FIGHT !
I think a bit to quick for noobs? I think i will slow video play back down -2? Like the recent warm up video, i have similar issues.

Agreed. This man’s channel is literally the ONLY one I tune in to, and listen to, religiously. We’re all spoilt tbh. 🙏
Gabriel is the best teacher ever! All his explanations are so clear and understandable!
I took karate in school, now my personal trainer is getting me hooked on boxing and kickboxing. I noticed karate & kickboxing are different
These are beautiful pointers. I’m at the very beginning of my MMA journey and my foray into striking in general. I’m going to use this in boxing and Muay Thai tomorrow:)
Excellent defensive technique to add to sparring, thanks.
My boxing is the one part of my game that I need to practice everyday
You should practice all of your game!
@ZU Co of course you are right

Also watch bernard hopkins

With your guard hand near your head your elbow is helping your power foot to push off the ground.
Awesome video, thanks
thank you for this !
Thanks. Going to be practicing that last combo.
This is some great tips and advice, thank you 💯
great video gabe! Wearing my diamond cup as i'm watching! Getting a bit of blood flow in the old micro peen ;-)
Value overload. 👍
Thanks for the video. I need to work on my breathing and arm angle for hooks.
Can you breakdown Marat Grigorian's style?

I prefer more spinal curve
should i keep my shoulders raised up a bit ? i was always told to relax them not hunch up, but the way u do it looks better
Any chance of getting some sparring footage from you with commentary? Thanks
Hey did I miss the subscriber submitted sparring and fight footage critique video?

cool vid. btw, can anyone put timestamps?
You can always get cornrows homie
Gabriel, u noticed that you don't pronounce the 'r' when you say 4
Yes I to am good at protecting my cheeks
Boxing mistake number 1…having long hair!
Great video as usual.
