I’ve kickboxed for about 17 years and I’m 40 now. I’ve fought only 4 times. There were a lot of times where life got in the way…and I’ve gotten in my own way. I’ve gained enough knowledge over the years where I’m going to start coaching at the gym I train at currently. I might have one more fight in me but since I’m 40 I really don’t want to spar hard and get hit in the head a lot. I love Muay Thai and kickboxing so much and I’m going to keep it in my life forever. It’s been there through my darkest times

[@juelz713]

This is also a good video for women, who want to give up because they are having a hard time finding other women to fight.

[@azharhassenamod8396]

Thanks man. I needed to hear this.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Glad to help!

[@RocaNaldo1298]

You are a great human being Gabriel. Thank you for always shedding light and good Energy into us.

[@juelz713]

I need to hear this, great video. The problem when I train for a fight. I always thinking about boxing. This is hard when you have a job

[@Hisdudeness149]

I’m turning 42 in 3 weeks. I’ve done martial arts in the past but started kickboxing again about a year ago. I watch your videos daily and I feel greatful for them. The only thing I’m blessed with is good genetics, the rest is still good old falling and getting up again. Thank you for being part of my journey.

[@CADILLACSPILLS]

It’s almost like you read my mind, been having a lapse in confidence in my skills lately

[@ashtraydekay6624]

Thanks man, I'm 43, i started boxing in sept.....i just got my medical clearance to fight, my coaches at Eastside boxing in Vancouver, are super supportive with me going ahead, just want to get a few fights in before I'm even older.....

[@ItsPitterPatter]

Thanks Gabriel, I took a life threatening injury and have been on the fence about fighting one match. Coming from a very privileged background, people in my community view combat sports as a high risk low reward activity to avoid. I beg to differ, it’s one of the few opportunities where mommy and daddy’s money don’t mean jack, it’s an opportunity to really show what one’s mind is truly made of. I’m in the process of building up cardio and conditioning, many bumps along the way but still improving.

[@iliketotrolololololo]

Really appreciate you Gabriel. I’ve had 3 amateur Muay Thai fights but lost the consistency after I got my a new job where I’m being worked like a dog. Have been tryin to get back into it but it’s hard as hell. I needed this message. You’re an inspiration and great martial artist bro 🥋

[@leonardgradinariu5556]

Thanks so much Gabriel! I'm at a point in my life where I really don't know where to go but vids like these help me go on.

[@UDX-340]

Will be 61 in 2 wks , still training for world masters boxing every week . started training as a hobby in 1976 never gave up .

[@AreteAskesis]

Okay, I’ll do it!

[@7184610369]

I'm about to turn 39, I had my first fight at 36. There were so many obstacles. First, I got injured and had to pull out, then my opponent get injured. The 3rd time around, I got food poisoning before my match. Next my opponent missed weight and our match was canceled because of it. It took 5 times, before I finally got that match!

[@crystalmoreno6020]

I used to get sick or injured every fight camp 😂😅

[@AreteAskesis]

How old were you when you had your first match?

[@JonahsWail]

I’m 43 and been training for about 5 years. Trying real hard to get into smoker shape but I sprinted through the family startup with 2 kids in the past 4 years, def makes it tough to get in old man shape 😂 Smokers sound dope tho and more my speed, I’ll get some in through my 40s for sho. Love your videos man!

[@terrifictigers-gp8xv]

Thank you Gabriel ❤ i needed this

[@giorgiociaravolol1998]

Thank you Gabriel! I'm 26, 27 in some months, and studying seriously for various degrees has officially ended my free time. But as soon as I finished my studies (at 28) I want to get back and kick ass. I've been training in Kudo since I was 20 and I was considering going amateur in MMA because I love it, but kickboxing could be more realistic.

[@gesto70]

great content. love your channel. 54 y/o training for my first master's boxing match. stopped amateur boxing at age 20. recently started again. it's never too late. no excuses.

[@codytheburden]

the odds of this video coming out the exact day after I started to consider maybe this isn't it for me feels like a sign. what a coincidence

[@Biggt613]

49 and just had my first Muay Thai smoker. Cancelled first official fight due to injury. Hoping to get a couple in at least this year

[@lukemorganofficial5230]

Great video. Securing fights can be so deflating!

[@plazz6082]

44 in March and been kickboxing for 3 years and now considering competing next year. Progress has been slow at times but finally feel like I’m making progress and can hold my own in sparring with the younguns in the gym! Age is just a number never forget… finally thank you Gabriel for the 14 minute kicking flexibility video from a couple of years ago, absolute life saver! 😅

[@gesto70]

Also, IDK about kickboxing, mma, etc. but USA boxing has Masters for 35+ with no professional fights. It's worldwide. 16oz gloves and matched by weight, age and experience, so it's pretty safe.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Good to know, thanks for sharing.

[@angelosalvador4889]

I needed this. Thank you!

[@Samuel-sg2iv]

I've been boxing for awhile now, and sometimes i don't feel like my heart is in it anymore.

[@crystalmoreno6020]

Maybe you’re burnt out and need a break. That happened to me and it was just overtraining.

[@Samuel-sg2iv]

@@crystalmoreno6020 yeah thanks, i'm definitely gonna take a break for a while. Thanks for the advice.

[@Vanillagorillabruh]

Thanks Gabriel! I won’t give up

[@JoonasSuvanto-mg2yh]

I'm 24 and i started kickboxing six months ago and I've been thinking am i too old to ever have amateur fight and this video gave me hope! Greetings from Finland!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Oh man. You're so young. I had my first fight at 20 but you're not too far behind.

[@JoonasSuvanto-mg2yh]

@ Nice! Really great to hear that!

[@maksymlewinski5512]

@@JoonasSuvanto-mg2yh Same, whenever i think i'm not gonna make it i remind myself it's a marathon, not a sprint

[@sinatra9179]

I’m 23 and I started Muay Thai 6 months ago I started fight camp training this week and I see how hard it’s gonna be to do this long term but Ik in my heart I got it in me I wanna take it as far as I can 😤❤️‍🔥

[@Jayys_Karat3]

Thanks Gabe.

[@blackonnichan8812]

In 5 months for boxing still flinching but im pressing on, trying to get better.

[@ihs200]

It's like you read my mind, I'm a 17 year old who's only been training for a couple years. I occasionally have a sparring session where I really feel like I have improved, but then I have one bad session and feel like I've lost progress.

[@HeartlessKnave]

Some people wonder why I train every day in something, at minimum 1 hour but ideally 2 hours even if that's just mobility work and light training. I'm 35, so competing non-professionally in BJJ & MMA isn't impossible, but I have to be disciplined and focused on those goals before the possibility slips away. That said, my long-term goal is being a coach and self-defense instructor, so competing isn't a necessity, but I would like to have that experience.

[@yamazaki997]

Never give up

[@Boy-nz4uu]

My opponent backed out and chose another opponent my other opponent backed out this week the week of fight week. I just talked to you Gabriel about sending you a clip of my videos I was so ready Saturday I spent a lot of money on camp working 2 jobs literally dead broke spending money on rides to training and extra work and getting prepared jogging doing cardio hitting mitts doing extra sessions. It depressed me I only went 2 days this week to training. I really needed this, especially in my area kickboxing and Muay Thai isn’t as big (I live in the south, NC) I wish it was more bigger because the potential could be more popular than boxing, Gabriel thank you I’ll keep pushing OSU!

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

I'm 35 and have been training for about a year now. I feel like the "old guy" lol

[@ayske1]

I’m not because I just renewed my gym fees 😂😂 Just waiting for more in house comps!

[@JCMMA555]

Just booked my first MMA fight for next month 🔥 LFG

[@nou-nouchantha8929]

Im 41...had some amature boxing fights 20 year's ago. Started training muay thai about 6 months ago. Had some training in Australia now training in Thailand. Trained here about 3 months now. Im dead, sick, sore and tired everyday. Should i have a fight lol? 😅

[@dirtpoorchris]

Some of these Casinos will DEFINATELY sign you on for your first fight at 60 as long as you sign the wavers. Carnival, weird matchups are getting famous. Like 3 small guys vs 1 big guy.

Why just men? Men and women, bro

[@Idkchangethislater]

Hello, could you react to Prajanchai vs Barboza they were hyping him up as this generations Saenchai and he seems to be living up to the legend.

[@bajanprince_mma]

Not giving up , just saving up to go train somewhere I can actually get a fight while I'm disabled. And I need equipment so I need to go get a job. Be back in a year 💯🥋🥊🙏🏽

[@mrjonnybravo21]

Am so glad am subscribed to this channel am not bragging but I have belts in three Martial Arts Am a senior blue belt in Taekwondo a yellow belt in Judo and a white belt in Jujitsu I have dreams and aspirations of making it big am 32 and am not slowing down anytime soon regardless of what you want to be in life never give up because if you do you'll end up bitter especially if it keeps up at night don't nobody stop you stay pray up in Jesus name

[@tonyarias7672]

Lost my first mma fight i took on 24 hrs notice recently, humiliating TKO in front of a big crowd and my opponent was 2 weightclasses below me but had 10+ fights experience .. made me question if its really worth it

[@MeYup-wb5sx]

You still get props for stepping in there. Lots of people would be too scared to lose in front of a big crowd especially to a smaller guy. Respect. I would train more and stay away from fights that early notice. Thats just my opinion though.

^go read that shit

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Use it as motivation to train harder. Be the first one in last one out, at the gym, in drills, in sparring. I'm recovering from a loss too, that too by decision.

[@shogunRed555]

Ok

[@OmerPepic-t2o]

The timiiinnggg😮😮. So im 17 now and i wanna figth. My story is that i think i started around 15 and i was gonna have my first fight at 16 but i injured my back very very bakddllyyy. Anyway it healed amd i was bummed out cus no fight😂😂😢😢.. and later i had to take off training for a very long time because i had some kind of skin or bone infection or something like that. It healed kinda amd i went back to training.then i infured my big toe and took again restweek. It heamed ofc. Then i injured my back agaiiiinn😮😮😮😮😂😂😢😢😢.. gues what. It healed. Now gues againg i 😂 injured it againggggggg😮😮😮. Now im home sitting in sadness because i cant train because of my infured back. The thing is that im the type of fuy who loves to train like it keeps me fired ut yk. And if i camt train then idk what to do and im kinda sad. On the other hamd its good to have rest but i had enoufgh rest these monthsss. Also i went to doctor and he was worried that theres nothing whrong with my back but with my brain or hips. He thinks that i have got some head trauma from training. But im bery sure that i havent got any because i also like gabriel like to focus on defence alot and i havent been hit in the head many times. So im sure there is something wrong with my back. So thank u gabriel for some more motivation and inspiration on and to my dreams. Also what are your thoughts on my story😂😂

[@TheBatosai]

I am going to be turning 34 this year. Coming off knees, neck fusion, and left shoulder surgeries that took me from August 2022 till now. I haven't had an official fight yet and I'm praying to God my body holds up to get that amateur belt in the next two years
