- I call this the "cross block". But just blocking isn't enough.
Today I show you the details of hooking the leg after double arm blocking and then sweeping your opponent's leg to a weak position where you can land the low kick. It works on pretty much all body level and head level round kicks.

Other RUclipsrs would use clickbait titles like "best roundhouse defence everyone should know" and then tell it's most suitable for kickboxing in the end of the video. You just kept it real, that's so cool
Thanks man. I try to create videos imaging I'm the audience and what I'd want.
Explain, give examples and deliver the content. Nothing else.
@@GabrielVargaOfficialreally tho Mr.varga I go to you or the thais first
This is one of our main defensive strategies in our karate style
Honestly, it is a major defence for any karate style: Gedan Barai.
@@prvtthd401 yeah that's the parry itself but everything in the video is how we practice it, from the double arm block to the kyuushu and then gedan barai into a blind spot
@@SchoolIsAConspiracy maybe because gabriel used to do karate and now mix it with kickboxing
Yeah it looks like a low block but with an open hand to control the leg instead of a closed fist
This is so cool, wish I has a fighting brain. Thank much and God Bless.
Great stuff. Alas, I do muay Thai and my opponent would still score if I used this particular technique to block.
Just knock them out!
He said at the start this isnt for muay thai
How would it score if you blocked, carried their kick through and landed a low kick.
Do you think that's even or would you take a slight advantage.
Muay thai scoring (in Thailand at least) is so much more complicated than kickboxing scoring.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial When I completed in mauy thai, a body kick was worth 2 points and a leg kick 1. Under that flawed scoring system, I'd get the short end of the stick.
Don't think a three point block (lead hand, rear hand and arm) is considered a proper block in Muay Thai, so the kick to the arm would score.
This is brilliant.
Thank you for making this type of video's, it's very helpful
Thank you for the perspective i do feel like u n joe valtnini are super legit as far as striking goes u guys are gd🙏🏽 oss !!
Thanks so much. I hope to make it out to Toronto next year to meet up with Joe and do some filming together.
Having my first Muay Thai fight in November . Ive been doing kick boxing for years and been in and out of Muay Thai but now I’m only training Muay Thai . Finding your page so helpful.
the amount of kickboxing knowledge you possess is incomprehensible 🙏🏽
What's your "must know" block for a head or body round kick?
Underhook trap
Throw your foot at their hip then step down and plant your foot, come back with a cross or a hard leg kick
@@justsomebird4285 when you say step down, step down on their foot or is it a feint
@@toheeb07 you push on there hip with your foot as they kick you, and it just completely removes the link of from their body to their leg so it disables the kick. Then from there just drop your leg down with some power to plant your foot so you can get a stronger cross or kick as a counter. For MMA you might want to be lighter with planting the foot though cause an explosive wrestler might try to shoot a takedown on it but for Kickboxing/Muay Thai it’s good
What i usually when faced with this problem. I 🚶 then 🏃 away. there are you happy now champ ? Humiliated myself on RUclips for this channel 😁 #TeamVarga
Where's our Merch Champ ? A key chain ? A 👕 ? A 👷 ? 😊
Really love your videos man, and they have helped me alot. I was wondering if you have done a video on different stances and the pros and cons of the different stances ie - kickboxing, muay thai, dutch style that sort of stuff? I stand at roughly about 6'3 and definitely over 120kgs, but haven't really found a stance that feels natural/good for me lol i tend to revert to old boxing habits thus standing more in a boxers stance rather than a kickboxing/muay thai stance. Any tips would be great!!! Much respect from Australia
Check the style of a few thai fighters that were champions in boxing: samart payakaroon, sagat petchyindee and somrak khamsing. Maybe that will help you find your style.
I haven't done anything in depth on that subject but I'll add it to my list of videos to make.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion 🙏
Thanks heaps that'll be awsome!!! Thanks also for the reply, massive fan of your channel keep posting vids and look foward to your next one ✊🙏
If u scoope kicks ur gonna eat a nice high kick but i do respect ur opinion aswell as ur technical understanding n experience ur gd im a fan.... Ive met a few guys where they will try to catch my leg but once i chambered they couldnt catch a hook kick / side kick .......if i round house low to higb ctfu thats hard to catch i get u as far as basics but defensively ur right what ur saying works in sport with rules against guys who cant punish parrying ..... Front kicks and low kicks should be feinted for da hands Anywyas but you know that ur dutch style is courageous i love it the heart.......when u block wit ur knee u can maintain postion better from thai perspective.....n still be able to teep or teep on the hips to have balance......to have on both stances the ability to walk forward so to switch hit cuz true thai dosnt favor a stance etc ..... .....teeps is the main tool i use to deal wit parrying .....
@@stanclark3992 true
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Ah, you use the palm of your hand. I was wondering how you do this without getting the ulna in your lead arm broken. Good stuff, man.
Please do a video on catching and sweeping kicks 🙏.
Oh I will. A whole series is what I'm thinking. It will take at least 10 videos to cover all that.
Keep an eye out for it starting in July.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Will do and thank you so much. Your tips have proved invaluable in sparring so much appreciated chief.
I've seen this lots in kickboxing. And a similar counter in muay thai where they kick the back of an opponent that has missed a kick. I've always thought it would be more effective if your looking to deal damage, rather than score to return the kick to the fount of your now off balance opponent. I guess at a high level it would probably be blocked, but from that position the shin would be across both forearms and I would think it would cause a lot of damage.
Very good tip and very on point video. Thank you. I will try to drill that with my partner. Didn't do this until now. Just ate that kick if too fast to evade, because I had no answer to it.
Hi Gabriel, love the content and huge fan of the channel.
Iv been practicing Muay Thai for the past 4 years now and it’s really the only exercise I love and find fulfilling. In the last year in a half I have started getting unbearable wrist pains anytime I hit the bag/pads/spar. I have always worn wrists wraps and even now Iv switched to heavy duty ones but they don’t help.
Is there anything I can do to continue practicing the sport I love or am doomed in having poor wrist genetics?
Much love from a big fan
Go see a doctor
I had wrist pain from hitting heavy bag aswell,what really helped me was high volume but very light wrist curls and reverse wrist curls,so like 2kg dumbell and about 50 reps,i did this everyday and after about a week the pain got a lot better,but keep in mind i didnt hit the bag that week also to further help recovery
Hope you're doing better. If you still have pain check out videos by Unity Gym and GMB, Gold Medal Bodies
In the UK they taught me this in Muay Thai. In Thailand they said not to do it but i do it anyway and with success
Your students are going to become champions in the future.
i noticed you practice this alot in your shadowboxing. practice makes perfect
Another day another great video
Please do a video about San Da/SanShou. I used to do that but moved, closest I could find was Muay Thai which at first glance is similar but it's much less evasive, much 'harder' and didn't suit me.
nice video, so good round kick defence i had to practice, but u said that when u check kick and fire back with a kick too doestn score anything? why is that? can u make a video about scoring in kick boxing? thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge with us!
The counter kick off a high leg check will be a bit slower allowing the opponent enough time to block the counter kick
In muay thai blocked kicks on arms still score, in kickboxing they don't so this block is safer to use
in my gym there is a guy that think is buakaw or something and this video is gold, i struggle a lot with multiple round kicks, even if i see them comming i cant counter because im ussually the shorter guy, i will practice this a lot, thank you again Gabriel.
How did it go?
@@johnnyg1229 im still bad at it HAHAHA but im way tougher now so i can del with it a bit better.
Id like to see some examples of this in action please! Sounds interesting but having a hard time visualizing it.
Ps. I did see you video example but its difficult to see everything from that angle.
In karate we practice this with gedan barai"low block" but we can adapt it to this technique
Thank you very much！
I catch and sweep when it’s possible. But I do sometimes still feel a good bit of it. I do Muay Thai and shins forgive a lot less than feet 👣.
Thank you！
Have always liked Cross arm block, one problem associated would be the elbows(not arm) give out sometimes after taking a few solid kicks
How do you solve this
This is what we learned in 1991 with Rob Kaman, Bob Schrijber and Ramon Dekkers! I tried to teach this to few here in the US but they are stuck on pure Thai style defenses.
Striking sports are usually retarded and stuck in their ways. Grappling is so much more open minded
i have been trying to find a MMA fight of yours on youtube i can't find any.
That block works so good but if you're not fast enough, the kick would break your arm
What would be the best body round kick defence in Muay Thai and MMA ?
My dear Gabriel, hope you will see my request, I would ask to do a video about my favorite fighter from my country, Daniel Ghiță, what can i drill to become more like him, hope you will see this 🙏🙏🙏
🙏
how do you block a kick thats going to the body though?
My friend used to block round house kicks with the points of his elbows
It really hurt my shins and made me really reluctant to throw any kicks above his waist line
Maybe I'm just soft
You just need a bit of conditioning for your shins, then this becomes a really terrible idea for your friend. Its not an effective blocking strategy, shin bones can break an arm with the proper force. Add to that how hard it is to successfully position your elbow exactly where the kick lands every time, not a good thing to rely on.
In my karate dojo we use the back hand to come up and cover ourselves from the kick while we twist our lead hand upside down to push the kick away as a block, if that makes sense to you. From that position we can also turn the lead hand the other way and catch the kick. Is that a good method too?
Who is that in the thumbnail pic?
so tell me gabriel varga what is the difference between mma fighter and martial artist
Mixed martial arts fighter is a martial artist. Not all martial artists are mma fighters.
@@trimakin6148 well i wanted to be a boxer,kickboxer,fighter and martial artist until someone told mma fighter and martial artist are the same thing so then thats why i have decided to be boxer,kickboxer and mma fighter
All MMA fighters are martial artists but not all martial artists are MMA fighters. MMA fighters mix martial arts to use the most beneficial parts of all of them in scenarios where you can strike and grapple. They’re generally more well rounded because they have to be in order to succeed. Other martial arts tend to be more specialized.
@@justsomebird4285 well look at this that i looked up How Do Martial Artists’ and Fighters’ Careers Differ?
A fighter’s career is relatively short-lived, since he fights solely to earn a living. Once he retires from the ring, the fighter often has no need to pursue involvement in fighting any longer. Without a match on the horizon, training in the gym is ultimately forfeited.
True martial artists are devoted to any possible aspect of the martial arts. For some, staying involved means teaching martial arts, refereeing, judging competitions, or occasionally training. Their unwavering love of the discipline keeps them invested in the martial arts during their entire lives.

I have a feeling you will get KO or break your arm doing this against a Thai.
Noice
How about mma gloves champ 🤔
You can see this used a bit in MMA but you need to be more on point with it in order to block/deflect the force. A lot the time instead of using this fighters will just back away. On the plus side though if you spin them all the way around and cut an angle, you could maybe take their back if you’re quick with it
Bruce Lee used a similar defense in his fighting books
Gabriel, I wonder how you would deal with single/ double leg takedown attempts.
He dose kickboxing 😂😂 why would he,
@@fightingfisherman9690 and mma
@@fightingfisherman9690 Wow, congrats bro. You got two likes just for ridiculing my comment, not even knowing that he is practising also MMA. 😅
Oh my bad. Thought he strickly kickboxer. How many mma fights he had..? No reason to get up set 😂. Most people think he just kickboxer.
@@fightingfisherman9690 Well, however, I'm still hoping he will cover the topic in a vid, occasionally.
What is your ethnicity?
He's Canadian and he looks pretty white so I'll say french
He's a Canadian of Hungarian descent.
Varga or Vargha is a Hungarian occupational surname derived from the Hungarian term varga, meaning, ”shoemaker” or “cobbler”.
Haha thanks for the replys! He's defs white haha but he almost has some Chinese features in the face a little bit. Was wondering
Check - Kick doesn't score in kickboxing? Shiiiiiit
Man. I would not like to block a full MT kick with my forearms again and again... 🥴
Well I wouldn’t want to get my legs blasted over and over again after getting my MT kicks cross blocked.
