John "Jack" Norton from the video here, thank you so much for reviewing my film!! I loved your comments, they were all very apt, but overall very kind. I have a lot to learn and I hope everyone can learn from this as much as I did, thanks again Gabriel Varga!

[@closeredge5198]

Props to you for putting your stuff out there...keep training hard...and learn to clinch 💯...

[@SonOftheBattleCry]

My name is John Jack aswell bro I’m Irish I’m 6,4 170 and have fought aswell keep training bro you’re lucky to have Gabriel watch it

[@muaythai.8474]

Hands up

[@andrews9719]

Good on you for putting yourself out there man! I’m a beginner myself, and all I have to say is you have impressive volume! I would’ve got tired before you did for sure. Good luck on the next one 👍

[@jab2ez]

Let's go John!! You did good man! Way to push!! I see the heart warrior!

[@Jenjak]

During my first two fights (which happened a few minutes appart in a tournament) I noticed I used only maybe 20% of what I usually do in sparring. I almost forgot I could kick and knee. I get so frustrated watching myself ^^ Also I was very surprised by the difference of intensity between a hard sparring and an actual fight.

[@Ramin2340]

Yeah most people are much less creative and more autopilot when it's a real fight.

[@gamesidowner2]

@@Ramin2340 as you gain more experience does your vision open up during the fight and you let yourself go?

[@gabago0l]

@@gamesidowner2 Yes you get more comfortable in the ring. You need to spar more as that's the closet you'll get to an actual fight without fighting, and do it lightly too cause CTE isn't fun. The reason some guys look so fluid and chill in the cage or ring is because they're used to it. Sure they're nerves and adrenaline is soaring but you always fall back in training when that happens. It could also be the case that they literally lack the muscle memory required to do certain things as consciously thinking of what to do in a fight is hard, most just go off instinct.

[@Ramin2340]

@@gamesidowner2 Of course. Takes a while though... for most.

[@sossage]

@@gabago0l nah, hard to the body light to the head with a good-high pace. Some people I spar always throw full force spinning back kicks to the body which is fine, but the spinning backhands and overhands they throw have too much force so I'd rather dodge them than block and if I don't feel like I have the ability to read and accurately evade on that day, I won't spar them, it's best to know who your sparring aswell as their pace and force, to know that your ready on that day to spar them, lest you get unecessarily hurt. High pace w/medium-high force is the best training for fights, but you need to spar highly technical people to do that without getting hurt, unless your good enough to essentially fight without getting significantly hit.

[@BrettAR92]

This would be a really cool series to add to your channel - critiquing subscribers fights.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Definitely going to be adding it. I've been planning this for so long. Almost a year because I was waiting for the right moment and filming space. But I'm just going to do it and hopefully everyone enjoys it until my studio is setup.

[@cadcc]

Good analysis! Personally not a fan of sugarcoating mistakes, if I’m asking a world champ to review my footage I want 100% brutally honest so I know exactly what im doing wrong and how to be better.

[@BerserkerX]

You gotta pay for that

[@Nenad1000able]

@@BerserkerX Yup. Its called private lessons.

[@DomCOuano]

Gabriel's a nice guy tho. i don't think he's sugarcoating mistakes. i think that's just how he talks lol but ya i also agree with getting private lessons if you want the strictness and brutality of a dance instructor

[@turbopowergt]

He wasn’t sugarcoating, he followed good evaluation practices. “I want to see more of…”, “keep your hands here because”, demonstrate why, etc. Our brains process evaluation better with this affirmative style. It helps build self-efficacy (the confidence that you can do a particular thing) while building performance.

[@cadcc]

@@turbopowergt Valuable insight. I agree if its someone like a beginner and your unsure how they will respond. Personally I want to know everything I did wrong, I evaluate my skill objectively.

[@tomnaughadie]

Nice to see tips for a taller fighter. It's actually kinda rare while there's infinite tips for shorter fighters. Given the existence of weight divisions there's no real reason to not make tips for taller fighters.

[@punasurf4697]

I was cracking up at that round 3. I could totally relate to being totally gassed out. Both fighters did great. Thank you Gabriel! Your critique is so helpful.

[@cadcc]

Always doubted the magnesium stuff cuz I did research and saw ur wifes involved in it; you should clarify that btw it feels misleading. But you seem like one of the most genuine people I know so I have to take your word and try it, cuz I definitely need better sleep and recovery. Will post updates on your latest vids when I get it

[@abdulrahmanalhamali1707]

This is awesome please do continue!

This was great id love to watch more of these!

great fight and great review!

Love your videos gabriel keep on going 👍🏼❤

[@petertallowin6406]

Such a righteous dude you are Gabriel. Very kind, constructive critique there. 🙏Legend. Well done with the win John. On to the next matey.

[@renatoabrigo6965]

Wow! I love what you are doing. It will really help him and us to improve. May God bless you.

[@jab2ez]

Let's go John!!!! Good smoker showing man. Your first time looks awesome. I hope you keep going.

[@closeredge5198]

I'd love to know if this guy's coaches formulated a game plan, or have him develop a distinct system based on his weapons.... I agree that he pulled out a win there, but there is much more work for him to do...I LOVE these types of videos

[@rawke7279]

Fundamentals aren't quite there. Chin is way up. Needs to tighten up. Keep at it John. Technique is king. Start doing your shadow boxing in front of a mirror. Mad respect for putting urself out there..

[@mmareviewer.2372]

pretty cool seeing first fights. for sure a bit of a street fight more than a skilled fight.

[@potatius6421]

Amazing, just started 5 months ago, got injured and hence taking a month off. Maybe in 2 years I'll think about my first fight. We'll see

[@Prymary2]

They set such a high pace in the 1st round that there was no way they'd be able to maintain that the whole way through

[@housesquadfightclub2052]

You were correct at least for me

[@scottkuhr8379]

Very interesting Gabriel. Kind of begs the question of what is the difference between a beginner, intermediate, and advanced fighter. Everyone knows an advanced fighter is "better", but why exactly? Sharp is the word in my book, and mastery of technique. Would be interesting to see that step by step between different levels of fighters.

[@dudester6182]

Dude ... This is so cool .. I've never seen anything like this..

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll definitely make more and give some subscribers extra focus on the channel.

[@calebwagner1738]

Gabriel looks insane in the the thumbnail lol. You should do that face in staredowns

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

HAHAHA. I might have trouble recreating that in a serious moment.

[@prod.vulgar3541]

Do more videos like these

[@Mr440c]

Imo it's early for these guys to fight yet.

[@gijoemolinaro]

Bless em ...but I was always taught with the idea that you are holding a towel with both both hands and it's going round your head and it's only long enough for one arm at full extension this was very helpful for my guard ...one arm extended other arm hand next to the face ...looks like their towels are way too long 😃🤙🙏

[@rylewmma553]

Gabriel should review Streetbeefs

[@beelzebub9972]

lol the fight is funny af

[@dirtpoorchris]

Little dude had some good head movement and punch leverage. Tough fight but probably a great first one seeing as he did good against a tough guy. Round 2 tall dude has some pretty good rhythm. Round 3 Tallie has a natural hands down and club swinging arm style so he should definitely practice LOTS of shoulder roll deflect into power counter, then clinch and knee seeing as hes so tall.

[@eddard9442]

Please review Streetbeefs! :)

[@BerserkerX]

Dan Henderson had the best wind up power hook! UFC 100

[@timothyfreeman97]

My first amatuer full thai rules fight, they gave us elbow pads to wear but not shin guards. I wish I had the same outfit as these guys, as neither me or my opponent utilised our elbow techniques but we we definitely went to town on the legs.

[@kesley2310]

My first was the same, and my opponent throw some spinning elbows (such nasty stuff btw lol), but i cant complain, it was fun as hell

[@MagickArmory]

I ordered magnesium breakthrough today actually. So many people i respect are promoting it and they give that money back guarantee so I hope it works well for me also . My only beef is the way their website operates I followed their instructions didn't close window or click on back arrow and i was still charged for an extra product ($160) . If any bio-optimiser ppl see this Just offer deals up front nobody likes the "but wait theres more if u just add blank" crap at the end of a purchase . 😁

[@Antarrah]

pretty sure that's Oscar Martinez in front... world class striking coach (trains Drew Dober among others...)

[@blackbeasley23]

This was at Oscar Martinez gym (colorado muay thai) he corners drew Dober in the ufc. He's a cool dude and trainer.

[@tylerghostkeeper4062]

Hey i'm getting ready for my first smoker to haha

[@rbranham8062]

Ever considered doing product/gear reviews? (i.e. best gloves for a beginner etc.)

[@joshreynolds729]

Hey man love your video much respect. So how is muay tai scored specifically in one championship? I keep watching fights that are clearly I have a winner yet the judges always give it to the other guy in some instances and I honestly can’t figure out why. Then I comment and some muay tai “expert” tell me I don’t know what I’m looking at. So maybe Get an expert opinion on what is scored and why. How much each is worth. I personally always thought that pressure, kicks, punches, sweeps, elbows, damage,and dumps we’re all either counted or counted as superiority in the ring in the very least. Is that correct? I’m really not one to conclude this but I really have no other option if I’m right. One favors certain gyms, masters, and seat seller that have action packed fights if they are Asian. Seems everyone else has to clearly dominate to get the win. Almost like k1 from my experience of watching the judges except a bit more crooked as they would atleast allow a sudden death round when a clear winner was had that they didn’t want but one seems to just rule immediately. Happened in woman’s and mens last few years or so. Happened last night with a woman’s fight I watched. Maybe you can clear this up although somewhat controversial my apologies.

[@CarlosContreras-no2jh]

That's the gym I train at lol

[@Drikkerbadevand]

is this full contact? Doesn't look like full contact.. Still takes some bravery walking in there though, and you gotta start somewhere and build up confidence!

[@ptrgr72]

What were you missing in that fight?

[@cyberpunkfalangist2899]

@@ptrgr72 I honestly should have backed out I was still recovering from my ribs being badly bruised from a knee almost a month before. This really limited my ability to spar and properly condition myself. Like Gabriel brought up I went full blast in the first rounds and it really hurt me in the next two. I general I also didn't play to my strengths as a outfighting counter striker and got into a war in the pocket instead

[@noahbernard8708]

If this is what 2.5 years of training looks like, he needs to fire his coaches and get his money back. This is ridiculously sloppy. I trained myself to have better fundamentals in 6 months.

[@Prymary2]

Ay, it could just be nerves

[@Leadfoot_P71]

Well it depends, if someone is training once or twice a week or 5-6 days a week for instance. Makes a huge difference.

[@ForeverYoungKickboxer]

Fundamentals can go out the window once live punches and kicks are flying

[@noahbernard8708]

@@Prymary2 nerves are fine, this is just a pure lack of defensive and offensive acumen that I would rate as unacceptable for anyone training longer than six months. If I had a student paying me for training for 2.5 years & THIS is how he looked in his first bout, I would be ashamed of myself as a coach.

@@ForeverYoungKickboxer then they didn’t spar enough, simple as that. Lots of sparring with a couple hard rounds and the skills will be there.

honestly I've never tried a magnesium supplement, but i can confirm that magnesium helps your recovery. i eat a lot of pumpkin seeds (high in magnesium) due to injuries, and very much considering trying this product when i can go back to training

The level of training must be really low if this guy is a product of 2.5 years of training. Pretty surprised to hear that, 2.5 years should have all the basic technique down to a reasonable level, not the wild loaded up haymakers and pure slop seen here.
