[@AlexOsborne10]

1. Watch fights 2. Exercise 3. Help teach others 4. Enough sleep 5. Waking up to train 6. Set goals 7. Staying positive 8. Be your own fighter 9. Be open to feedback and criticism 10. Enjoy the process

I have insomnia and my sleep was horrible in highschool, 2 hours a night. Through learning best practices for sleep and taking certain supplements I've gotten myself to 6-8 hours a night and it's a world of difference. In highschool I thought I was completely unathletic and not made for physical activity but since I fixed my sleep I slowly grew into the most athletic person I know. Sleep is so important guys!

[@cristiansava1266]

@A .H PRODUCTIONS I recommend magnesium. Improved my sleep a lot.

[@owenschmowen5313]

@A .H PRODUCTIONS Magnesium is great to relax the body and get more restful sleep, montmerency cherry juice helps to create melatonin (the sleep-inducing brain chemical), 5htp can raise serotonin levels, low serotonin levels can cause low mood but also it's needed to create melatonin. Valerian and passion flower can relax the body and mind, passionflower especially if anxious thinking keeps you up. None of this stuff is magic and cant mask the effects of a sedentary lifestyle or poor diet habits or bad morning/night routines. Hope this helps!

"Help teach others" is a skill that many don't have just dominated by jealousy and don't want to teach others what they know and empower

[@mykulpierce]

A lot of these habits are the type of things you see outside of fighting as well. I grew up in a division 1 school and these type of habits were pretty much the expectation. Of course, replace watching fights with watching opponent and team films. Football was all about watching games and plays over and over. I didn't have the height to do extremely well in the sports I was interested in, but the habits instilled in me helped me in many areas of life. From military, work, and being a dad. It's about being fully engaged!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Which of theses habits are you going to try adding?

[@DavidTremblay]

8:35 this is one of the best life advices that I got by my grandmother. I never in 16 years of my life saw her angry or sad. There is a bet in our family, if we piss her off somehow we get 50 bucks. She always said that to truly be pozitive and happy you need to be greatfull for all the things you have in life, only then you realize how lucky you are. Everyday is a good day above ground. Sadly she died 3 days ago.

Being my own fighter and coming up with my own style is how I make the process fun and enjoyable for me. I’m customizing my own game character to have the moveset of my own choice. I don’t know if the style I’m trying to develop works or wins or not, it’s just fun to combine things that seem to synergize. This is how I approach martial arts with a gamer’s heart.

Number 8 is the best one when you learn to become your own fighter and understand your body is great especially if you have a good connection with your coach like if you’re saying you feel tired and you needed more of a technical session rather than a beasting your coach understand is not you being lazy

[@myth9999]

The worst thing about fighting is the routine gets repetitive to the point it annoys you thinking when things new are coming which is why it's seemingly hard to stay positive.

I'm like you when I see someone on the heavy bag that could use some tips and direction. I won't say a word. Most people have their ego invested too heavily to appreciate feedback or advice. But I train people on the heavy bag, and those sessions are full of correction and constructive criticism. They're paying me for that, and they're there to learn and improve. Context is what typically makes all the difference. Great tips in this video. Your stuff is always top notch. I love it!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

It's too bad because being open to advice is the way to improve. But letting them do their thing keeps you from offending people. Thanks for the kind words.

Firstly, i wanna say what a great video! Secondly, in my case as an itf taekwon-do practitioner,(wanting to become world champion) i feel like it's destiny calling telling me that now it's YOUR time to shine and to have your dream fulfilled! Gabriel Varga isn't like other muay thai fighters/coaches who just gives advice but doesn't explain and articulate their own view of experience. He's very smart and considerate👍

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks so much. I'm glad my method of sharing is working out for you guys.

[@Dubbios]

My two cents: Watching fights AND good fighters/trainers (like this channels) helps a lot. Teaching is the BEST way to learn, if you know what you are teaching. Being positive/and disciplined specially when things go south is fundamental. And I believe that all this is posible only if you love the game. If you don't, you won't be doing this for a long time. On a side note: Training everyday is hard, specially when this pandemic going out. Maybe you can teach some "figther at home routine" that can guide us? And as always. Thank you so much for sharing with us all this knowledge. Really is lime having a seminar everyday.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks 🙏 I'll keep working on helping you guys with your training at home. I'll try to get some videos in that area filmed this week.

[@joeygoguen1525]

I'm no champion, If you have a physical job that would count as physical activity every day. You could add a burpees or calisthenics programs everyday to supplement to the training and go for a massive run on your rest day.

@@joeygoguen1525 I'm a student, so I've got no physical job; but I was also thinking that adding a running day could be a good idea. Or maybe a bicycle day

Do you think a big, stocky, strong guy, shorter than average for his division, with one shot knockout power, can be an elusive, slick, fast, Anderson Silva-like counterstriker? That is my main goal as a striker. I am an MMA fighter, so I have to be an effective grappler as much as an effective striker, granted, but that is the style I'd like to master on the feet. Being a master of head movement, Lerdsila-like reflexes, man, I'd love to have even half of Lerdsila's reflexes... and countering fast, accurate, hard and esplosive, cause we all know the shot that knocks you out, is the one you don't see coming.

[@flavioaraujo2142]

Chandler is a perfect example for what u described and he destroyed Dan Hooker, who is a tall, technical striker like Silva (ofc Hooker isn't as good as Silva, but their built and style is similar)

[@champ1159]

Well Saenchai is like that so it's possible, I'm pretty lanky but I'm not very tall but I try to be exactly what you just described

[@AdamPenmanOfficial]

In terms of striking (Granted not MMA) Mike Tyson! He was slick as a striker but also a lot smaller than most of his division

[@francescogenovese890]

@@AdamPenmanOfficial I'm not smaller, I am shorter than an average middleweight. Many told me I look like a light heavyweight and I could easily fight at 205, but that would be too much, I'd be too big and too slow. Maybe 170 could have been better for pursuing this fighting style, but for my body composition, I would be like a dead man walking if I went down to 170, so 185 is the perfect weight class for me. I am satisfied with my body in terms of muscle, I just wish I was like 5'10 tall
