Gabriel, I owe you an apology. When I first found your channel, the first 3 videos I seen you started with how many belts and compititions you had won. I didnt like this and created a horrible judgement about you and talked shit about you being so up yourself. Now after having more and more of your videos play on my screen.. I have realized that you actually have the most informative, knowledgeable, technically sound and well edited martial arts KZbin channels. Thankyou so much for being who you are and please don't give up. Continue being proud of yourself and can't wait to see you compete again and also coach a team of killers in the future.

Takes balls to admit when your wrong big ups to you bro

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

What's your favourite counter? Mine is definitely the left hook.

[@KungFuHustling]

Mine is left hook to the body off the slipped jab. There's an excellent championship caliber Muay Thai fighter that worked with David Christian that produced a video that taught me a lot about it. You should check him out! 😛

[@theissuemusic]

Pull back - overhand

[@A.Ertuğrul]

Mine too. İt's easy and effective.

[@moritzschafer3977]

Left hook to body and head

[@haydentempest3874]

I really like the same side uppercut when someone throws a hook to the body

[@crimsonfalcon07]

One of my favorite overhand counters in recent years was Junto Nakatani v Andrew Moloney. Superbon v Tayfun Ozcan was a great example of that last one (left head kick). Thanks for sharing the technical details.

[@Dubbios]

Amazing content as usual. My two cents, as a (right handed) southpaw I can tell that the rear kick to the body is devastating because it attacks the liver; you just have to time the cross and it's almost a knockdown, even if you throw from the lead leg, it is most about precision than power actually.

[@markcaron4683]

I feel like uppercuts are highly ignored/ neglected. What are your thoughts?

[@nicksalvatore5717]

I agree. Uppercuts always throw me off a little sparring. It has made me start to use them more and learn how to defend them

[@thomaslivingston5229]

they're harder to land, especially in big gloves

[@mykulpierce]

WOOT! I love this type of content! Great to see what people are finding success with commonly.

[@takemyhand3224]

Can't wait to try these.

[@taylortancrede9668]

Been watching your stuff now for about a month. Just subbed because this channel is pure gold. Hope you blow up. Seem like one of the chillest dudes.

[@alip2982]

The best example K.o for the kick counter was tayfun özcan vs. superbon….

[@LasTCursE69]

Glad I found this guy's channel really useful videos

[@rm-uq3ic]

Just the best channel! My favorite counter is whatever is current modern and working : ) on that topic if you are going a year out to get 100k subs. Do updated versions of your most popular videos. Every 3months or so expand on something you have previously done. The channel Jedi does jiu jitsu is an example of fresh way to make older content have the entertainment factor. Whether you making videos or fighting keep it you.. keep it personal.. and entertain !

[@A.Ertuğrul]

Thank you coach with thousand times.

[@ACarpenter89]

I really appreciate all your videos even though i am a boxer not a kickboxer i find this very helpful

[@scorpionsubzero9066]

So much content Gabriel. Thank you very much. I am gonna train more my left hook. One tecnike that I see work a lot is jab rigth and then right round house kick. Most of fighters think that the sequence is over and then there comes the kick. What do you think about it?

[@user-reconquista-now-2000]

Thank you for your advices! 👍

[@fabian13333]

Thank you very much great video

[@OldWorldNY]

Always looking for some more FIYYAAAHHH drills 🔥🙏☝️

[@shootits48]

I really like this channel, thank you for the tips

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@albo__7804]

That headkick bones landed on DC is the counter that sticks out to me. Would be cool to see a breakdown of the pull counter.it's Mayweathers bread and butter and even Usman utilised it v Burns

[@FightEquipt]

Awesome content as always, thankyou Gabriel

[@nemanjatodorovic9209]

Good video champ... What you think about combo when you go fith Jab and then folow with lead high kick so if they pery a Jab the kick lends clean 💪💪

[@sabitasubbathapa50]

Thank you for the video master

[@brandonadamek3123]

Hey Gabriel, would you mind putting out a video on establishing your jab and taking away your opponent's jab? Thank you!

[@jondoh8956]

Thank you for this

[@ianedwards3482]

This is superb.

[@jondoh8956]

Now Gabriel you have to do a video on how to counter the counter, how to be better aware these things are coming and the tale tail signs

[@omarmonoruiz]

thanks man. appreciate it :) excelente servicio 100%

[@radhinblitzahmed]

Pls make a video on what makes Nong-o so good

[@abdouippo1793]

Tbh you are the best You share many videos that a lot of great content. Btw i have a question Is it okey if i rarely use my cross Because i noticed That i keep my opponent away just with my jabs And my cross makes me feel vulnerable That's why i rarely use it. Is this problem commen between fighters and is it a big problem?

[@andreylomas7884]

[@theissuemusic]

How well does Muay Thai transition to mma?

[@peppa7926]

I know you're asking Gabriel not me but I'll give you my opinion anyways, in MMA you have to have a bit of a wider stance to defend take downs and can't stand so tall, you also have to be more cautious throwing kicks because of take downs, you also have to be more mobile and the way a lot of people do Muay Thai can be flat footed, you also can't defend with a high guard that well in MMA because of the smaller gloves so you have to have a more active defense than you do in Muay Thai. Muay Thai does have a good clinch (even though instead of having hands around the neck on the inside like in a Muay Thai style clinch you need an under hook so you don't get taken down in MMA), sweeps, elbows, and powerful kicks though and is a very good base to expand off of. To sum this up, in my opinion Muay Thai is a solid base style but you'll have to change up a few things such as getting more creative by incorporating other martial arts techniques like stuff from Karate and Boxing, widening your tall Muay Thai stance and becoming more mobile to make you harder to get taken down, keeping an active defense and not shelling up in a high guard to defend attacks, and making sure you have an under hook in the clinch to prevent takedowns.

[@e.m7110]

@@peppa7926 I like your comment. Although the flat footed part makes me confused as not one of my Muay Thai trainers have taught me to stay off my toes. ALWAYS on balls of feet in Muay Thai. Maybe it's the closer stance that seems flat footed???

[@peppa7926]

@@e.m7110 by flat footed I meant the slow sturdy rhythm muay thai has instead of the mobile quick ready to explode to take angles and sprawl rhythm mma fighters use, my fault for wording it wrong

[@e.m7110]

Left hook!

[@jansegal6687]

truth is i cant even throw a hook, its unnatural, do i use biceps and contract during the punch or keep the same angle throughout ?

[@ives3572]

Out of all these counters, the lead hook is still the best counter shot for dropping your aggressive opponent.

Hey Champ, I just started Muay Thai a few weeks ago and yesterday my coach was hitting me pretty hard during sparring. We spar after every practice. Everyone there has to spar him and he usually beats on us. He apologized for going so hard. But now I could have a concussion I feel.pretty unusual so should I look for a different gym?

[@taylorg2787]

Sounds a little intense if you ask me. Your training partners should be taking care of you. Granted our head coach will sometimes turn up the heat but usually with attacks to the body. Maybe visit other gyms to see if there's a better culture. If you're not having fun you won't be consistent.

[@justinrodriguez3619]

@@taylorg2787 yeah sometimes I don't want to go but I still go because I feel like I would be a quitter or a coward if I didn't show up. I really like muay thai but I hate getting beat on every practice by our coach

[@Leadfoot_P71]

@@justinrodriguez3619 What sort of coach beats up his rookie students? Sounds like a knuckle head bully to me. I wouldn't give a guy like that my money.

[@justinrodriguez3619]

[@Leadfoot_P71]

@@justinrodriguez3619 Yeah well I've been a coach and trainer for over 20 years and I can tell you, a coach that gives his students, rookies or not, concussions is NOT a good coach, but a complete idiot. No student should fear for their health going to practise, especially from the coach, that's just stupid. I would change gym real quick.

[@DavidTremblay]

Head kick in sparring ? Geez that's hard. head shot with hands at 50% maybe. High kick to train evasive action certainly. But suggesting a round house in the face that's very hard

[@nicksalvatore5717]

You have to utilize control! I usually go over peoples head, go fast but stop it right before their head, or set it up and throw it very slowly so I know it’ll likely land. If it does, my sparring partner will realize what happened and we reset.

[@pushimikurac2774]

wait wait.. behind ear hook or neck hook is less likely to score a knockdown ? come on. .
