Staying away from the gym because of my studies makes life harder I wish I could make 60% of my day in the gym grappling and striking although striking is hard psychologically but I don't mind the challenge its worth it in the end In God willing.

Are you a college student

I've literally never been to the gym and barely work out but I wanna try out some combat sports at least once in my life. But I wanna start now to gain a little bit of an advantage when I finally go to a gym. You guys have any advise on some beginner excercises on a guy with a below average body at home?

[@kayapapaya3896]

Just started kickboxing and have been binge watching all your videos. The absolute best information out here, thank you so much 👍

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Welcome and thanks for joining the channel. I appreciate the positive feedback. I'll keep the videos coming.

[@Crunchy166]

How's the kickboxing going dude?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Which basic counter is your favourite? I've got to go with the left hook counter.

[@DedicatedSpartan]

Block to cross hook

[@theghostspeed1408]

Probably, shoulder roll and counter cross/uppercut.

[@deadshot8413]

Its kind of funny how literally the first thing you show is what I needed at my last and frankly my first sparring at the gym (I actually did block like that but I just had no answer for those kicks )

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Awesome. Hopefully you are setup for your next sparring. It takes some drilling with a partner before you can pull these off well in sparring but at least you know what to do now.

[@OldWorldNY]

Exactly what I asked for! 👏🙏✊

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

👍👍👍

[@DedicatedSpartan]

He responded to my request for how to be a pressure fighter as well

[@Shojushoju]

Great content! Basic, explained very clearly with details, proven in combat to be effective!! Keep it coming. 👍🙏💪

[@kristynsdad]

More fantastic content. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us.

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

I’m amazed at just how good Gabriel’s boxing skills are. I believe he would definitely be able to box the top ten boxers in his weight class and be very competitive. Possibly even be able to win at that high of a level. I mean he’s a kickboxer yet his boxing skills are phenomenal with his boxing combinations and ring IQ.

[@Sonny453]

Best stuff ever.

[@kanethao2610]

Make a video on the backstory of all of your belts. Would be awesome!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I can make that 👍

[@vindicator75]

I was drilling the Dutch block counters the other day. Will need to drill the other stuff

[@ahmedalhamadi1231]

Thanks Gabriel.

[@flaviboi]

Amazing gloves you have there Gabriel, the colour pops out. If you manage to block and not absorb al the power you can have a great counter, good explanation.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yes. I got to choose the colours myself and was very happy with the finished product.

[@muhammadali-eb9bk]

Nice . What are the Pros And Cons Of Changing Stance In fight

[@TheJKDGuy]

Thanks Gabriel Great Tips 💪❤️🙏

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Glad you like them!

[@95_Ends]

Thanks

[@jordansammut5581]

Hello Gabriel, great content as per usual. I am having trouble when it comes to entering striking distance to land combinations without getting hit upon entry. I am naturally a counter striker however I have recently changed gyms and some of my peers are brow belts in taekwando and have better movement and kicks than I do, forcing me to be aggressive, a vid on different ways to enter would be great. thank you

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

For sure. It's not too difficult and I can give you 2-3 options. I'll get that added to my filming list.

[@ahmedalhamadi1231]
