I think you have some of the best tips out there. You are clear and concrete when it comes to explanations. Thanks man

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks so much for the compliment. If you have any video requests please let me know.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Start getting that KO power in your weak arm. The little details make all the difference.

[@joebagtas9617]

Thanks for your advice!

[@samscholdner9717]

[@thesolidsnek8096]

Means alot coming from you because your lead hook is 💸💸💸

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks. Definitely my favourite punch. To the body or head.

[@gewin3743]

What I like most of this video is " I like to look at all the different options".

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks. I like to recognize what works for me, might not work for you. Everyone needs to find their style and adjusting each technique is part of that.

I’m fairly new to the channel and have been going through your older videos. I LOVE this one! I’ve always been a little disappointed in my left hook. After taking your advice to heart and really working it for the last three or four weeks, my left hook now hits like I have a brick in my glove. I wasn’t twisting my shoulders enough. Once I got the feel for it, I now hit smooth and hard. A side benefit is it is much easier on the shoulder muscles and tendons. In hindsight, I was making it too much of a shoulder punch and, in addition to not hitting very hard, it was really hard on my rotator cuff. I’d sometimes get a sore shoulder if I threw too many hooks. Not anymore! Thanks for putting out these videos. I’ve done some of your at home workouts too which are a lot of fun.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I'm very happy to hear it's helped you out and that you aren't experience pain. And you are hitting hard. Music to my ears. 😀 💪

[@astonchui808]

Thank you again for the knowledge, you are always open minded and honest, appreciate very much

[@stryker9783]

Really really Amazing video, you answered all my questions. I'll Watch all your video

[@Hammerphone44]

Really enjoying this content - well explained and he seems like a cool guy. Keep up the great work GV!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Much appreciated!

[@damage968]

Nice. My best punch is also the lead left hook. Right hook feels off to me, like I'm putting myself in the line of fire so I don't really like using it but when i commit to it I can match and even surpass the left hook's power

[@spray31]

Try throwing the right off while in unorthadox, works almost as well for me and also a good trap if you step back into unorthadox, switch-hitting is fun

Man.What a nice channel. Wish you great fortune in life.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thank you my friend 🙏😀

[@robbybee70]

I believe my lead hook is my best shot as well the rear one is very close tho so hard too say

[@AlligatorAli]

The European style hook thumb down, fist horizontal works best for me. I feel good in this position.

[@Oswadomob]

good video

[@thehighcommunity247]

So awesome. Good looks!!

[@jorge86rodriguez]

Is one of my fav punches

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

The only thing that makes it better for me is going to the body.

[@hypnocoil3968]

It's early morning and I just read the title of this video as "4 Ways to Make Your Head Look More Powerful" and then I looked at the thumbnail and thought to myself: "oh yeah, his head does look pretty powerful"

[@wadestoss3325]

Nice tips! I think I remember a video of Chartchai teaching tip #4.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

The foot pivot isn't great if you have someone who is fantastic at counter low kicks but other than that is a great element to incorporate.

[@chiznowtch]

I dont fight but if I did I would consider integrating these techniques

[@Mamiibyalvinn]

Hello hojam, we put 4 comb bones and 2 comb bones in our hooks or we can hit the chin more effectively.

[@rtlo6511]

Do you edit your videos yourself?? Thanks again for the wisdom.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yes. It took a while to learn (guess I'm still learning) but it has been fun

[@rtlo6511]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial They look great man. Excellent quality.

[@brandonrussell9227]

Does that thumb up style translate to the MMA gloves?

[@DedicatedSpartan]

Thank you, the elbow was the mistake I was making.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Glad it helped.

[@FhargaZ]

Against tall fighters?

[@joebagtas9617]

I kind of wish there was some lab work done with a punching machine to see if whether palm up or palm down is stronger and by how much. Thanks for this tutorial! Also you have great knuckle structure, did you condition your knuckles in the past?

[@JoshAllenberg]

Best way to throw the hook is just the natural direction your fist faces when you bring your elbow and shoulder up (palm down). The less ergonomic you try to make it, the more risk of injury. Its also just not comfortable.

[@moustachio334]

It doesn’t matter. Whatever hook feels best to you.

[@ezassegai4793]

its weird for me. my palms in hooks are safer and I feel I can punch harder but my palms down hook feels like its doing more damage despite me not being able to push as hard into it without hurting myself
