Great informative and interesting content in your channel, thank you for it. Who are you fighting in your upcoming fight?
I like the side kick because your upper body is leaning back making your head less of a Target for a counter. Always great informative videos. Thank you.
I like using the side kick when I miss my round kick in order to not allow the opponent to rush in
...but your prone to failure anyhow...
Day 1 of asking Gabriel to make a video on how to set up side kicks.
Oh boy. I have 4-5 but it's not a technique I use much.
I can still make the video though.
I’d like to see this too
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Either way looking forward to this video I think a lot of us would like to see that video.
In my experience they're really good to throw when someone is backing up vertically. Put a lil pressure up high and pop it out.
@@landoftheninja what do you mean vertically?
Absorbing the side kick, with the elbow tight and a quick turn works to surprise a dude, just like Gabe does, but turn your opponent if you can. Fun video!
A collab with wonderboy would be awesome!
I can talk to him and see if he's interested
@@Last_Chance. hope u r being serious, that'd be great!
@@rabbitshady499 I'm serious. Obviously I can't guarantee nothing but I can bring it up at practice.
@@Last_Chance. you train in his gym?
@@kermit1211 yes
Gabe, can you make a video on how you would coach Adesanya to beat Pereira?
Yes yes
I'm not Gabriel, of course, but I'd tell Israel to try to incorporate wrestling, take Pereira down and work on the ground. In their last fight, Pereira's grappling was by far his biggest weakness, and it'd be hilarious if Israel won by sub.
Yoooo would love that
It would be awesome to see you collab with Wonderboy! Sparring and technique breakdowns!
Later this year 😀
Gabriel can you please make a video breaking down how to throw more kicks while minimizing the threat of the takedown. I know it's more of an MMA video, but it'll be an interesting topic
All the beginners at my gym just spam this during sparring and they were actually landing on me so I had to look up this video 😂
Could you do a spinning backkick defense
One thing I had trouble with in sparring is some persons from other gym with TKD/Point Karate background with good pressure shot different kicks from the same position. After I respect the side kick they would use side kick stance to fake into roundhouse kick or hook kick. Any tips to negate this or is it same as against any other type of pressure fighting (don't overreact and don't let your opponent do what they want)?
I'm the guy who does this. Best defense is to either scoot way out, or better yet, way in and jam the kick. You have to be quick though or you'll just take more damage. A good point fighter will chamber all three kicks exactly the same. Though once he catches on that you've figured out how to jam this, if he's really good he'll just step back and throw, so don't use it too often.
Jam the kick, close the gap and sweep, it's the same way is countered in actual point fighting.
You can go straight to sweeping if you are close range, don't bother jamming.
Also, if he is using it to keep distance instead of regaining, just let him kick air.
Applying alot of pressure with straight punches works. Like not two or three like five or six and blitz in like a point karate guy yourself. Think of it like you need to touch him with the first one before the kick comes out.
@@joshuabrant3487 Agreed. Once he counters and places his foot down, burst in with lots and lots of punches. They can't block all of them. Hand game ready.
A great follow-up would be when to throw the side kick
Your workout videos are killer gabe
I am prepared for the side kick discourse
What about just twisting your body while on guard so that your elbow would knock their feet over to the side, Liam Harrison has a video on this but for front kicks
Thais like to forearm hook under drag back the leg a little to stretch you out while dropping the other elbow right on outside ankle bone or pulling the dlbow tip onto the metatarsals just in front of the ankle bone for a quick painful crunch or a broken metatarsal
2:25 Spinning backfist when in this position can put your opponent on the defensive long enough to regain you stance
@Epik I've seen Bas Rutten connect with a spinning backfist to the head after missing a roundhouse and ending up with his back to the opponent just like with the side kick. The point is to regain a neutral position by anticipating a counter attack and keeping the opponent in check when he thinks your vulnerable
Look up "Bas Rutten backhands Frank Shamrock" its on RUclips. Frank does the exact thing you just said. He goes for a tackle and gets punished for it
@Epik I don't see many people do that in fights but it's good to know in case you miss a kick
Side Kicks cost me 1st place in a Kickboxing tournament. 1st one surprised me, 2nd one I caught and Ref yelled 'No catching', 3rd one I just took because they weren't hurting just annoying. After my Kru told me I should have just swept it away like a front teep
I have subscribed to your RUclips channel and liked your video , because your tutorial video is great for helping and guiding me to my next kickboxing belt grade (Junior Green Belt) even though I'm practicing the techniques e.t.c. with my grading book.
Good luck in your fight(s) to both of you fighting warriors. You might fight the kickboxers at " The Combat Academy" from my home town of Barnsley , South Yorkshire, England sometime in the future. Unfortunately for you though I will be cheering and rooting for our proffesional kickboxers at " The Combat Academy , Barnsley" though.
Anyway good to for the future. Take care.
Sometimes when I’m lucky and the timing is right, I actually punch the foot with anything’s that available: jab, hook, or cross. I tried using a forearm or elbow but it just jam the process and end up getting kabonged.
And I hate getting kicked on the face with a powerful leg technique.
Rule of thumbs is to shift out of center line. Unfortunately, it affects offense, timing, and balance.
What it boils down to is a ton load of sparring. You’ve got to put your time in and listen to your corner. Find what works for your style and body.
The sidekick is a high output low reward technique. Rarely is the opponent hurt by it. It just pushes your opponent back, too far for follow ups. And it requires a lot of effort which can tire you out in the later rounds.
2:29 you not really out of position technically because from the side stance you are already in you can transit in to a spinning back kick but I normally see that from taekwondo or karate fighters
Side kick combo mma attick
Gabriel is ur frend the guy from ticktock?
That's Suraj another world champion kickboxer from Victoria BC canada
aye nice to see two canadians working together, i love firas zahabi
Since Suraj has a Karate background, will we possibly see him in the Pit one day?
Better you have a training partner to demo easy to understand
Yoooo. Let me throw more sidekicks in sparring for funzies today. Who is this guy?
Garbriel Varga? Do you have hungarian roots?
Yes. That is correct.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Have you talked with Adam Kovacs about that?
@@GabrielVargaOfficial I'm hungarian, and it is just nice to discover such a cool channel, then realise we have common roots :P
Bruce Lee's favorite kick was the side kick
what if they’re faking to a hook kick, or a 2 touch back kick, reaching for the sidekick would just leave you open for some crazy tkd shit
Excuse me... You're assuming the leg will stay stretched out. It's a big no no in Taekwondo and Karate. Leg must always be rechambered after throwing a kick.
Also, covering one part of your body in anticipation of a side kick leaves other parts vulnerable.
I'd take these tips with much caution... Very good to cover the topic though. Too often overlooked, strange enough for a sneaky attack.
Everyone says side kicks don't work but it's the only kick I've never had caught and been dumped .
Front kicks and round kicks I get caught like 30% of the time maybe.
Side kick not one never straight to the ribs every time . Maybe it's how I through it because it's so long range . I bring my rear leg through like a rear leg front kick but drive it through so I'm switching stance to south paw . I'm 6ft 2 so that a massive distance covered in half a second.
Oops. Should I not have shared this video 😮 Don't want to mess with something you're having success with.
Side kicks are harder to defend and catch until you realize
"hmmm why don't I just use front kick defense but recognize the kick comes another 3-4 inches further"
@@GabrielVargaOfficial I think it's because I spar with kick boxers . I'm MMA . I kind of TkD kick because I don't want to give up my long guard boxing stance . So everything about the way I move is wired to them .
Sounds like faking an oblique kick, twisting into a side kick, sounds sick af
@@Westin680 it just feels natural to me . I normally follow up with a right jab then just start Dempsey rolling. I'm hand focused fighter.
The other kick I seem to land all the time is lead front kick to stomach into rear round to ribs without putting the lead leg back down.
I call it butterfly kicking but I'm not sure if that's correct. Think it's round kick to round kick to qualify as a butterfly kick.
Very true !! I TAEKWONDO is what they teach...
👎☝️
But...they don't work anyway, do they ?
Side kick dont work only MOo Tie works
