I thought it was really interesting how you mentioned finding a good instructor/coach. I really think this may be one of the most important factors in success in the martial arts. I’d be very interested to see you make a video on choosing an instructor for a new martial art or changing gym’s. You’d have some interesting anecdotes, I’m sure. Great content.

[@knolle9390]

You have done several videos on preparation of fights. This and others. But none about recovery after the fight. Right now I had my first MMA fight last Saturday, after a bunch of grappling events. I won by TKO in the first round, nonetheless I got a concussion. On top of that I hurt my left hand kind of. I thought it was nothing serious, but it's five days now, so I will visit the doctor tomorrow. The icing on the cake is that I have some kind of flu now, and throw up all day, and have fever. I guess it is no side effect of the concussion since it has just started today. I won, but still took enough damage to be not able to work for a week and got sick on top of it. Could you give me some advice how to handle this a little better? I guess it becomes even worse if you go the distance ( as a heavy weight). Obviously better Defense...

[@lucian5389]

Hey Gabriel, what do you suggest for amateur fighters who might not have/ cannot afford a private trainer, I for example have been training for about a year and half and had about 2 amateur Muay Thai fights (won both) and im going into my third. My gym is commercial so we do have "fighters" classes where we work drills and spar, the rest being pad work/ fitness classes. Our coach gives us tips when he can see where we are going wrong and offers private training per hour. So I guess my question is, can I keep competing as an amateur without private training or should I look into hiring a coach as soon as possible. Unfortunately as a student I cannot afford the private lessons but I try to put myself through hellish 'fight camps' on my own before every fight.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I went through my whole career without doing privates. Find a gym where the training sessions are hard and the coach gives everyone training advice in class. I think that's pretty normal for most gyms.

[@lucian5389]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial that's great to hear, thank you so much for the reply. Your videos have pretty much been the only "private" training I've been getting and try to work whatever you advise, so far it has served me well. Our coach does teach us techniques and give tips however they are mostly from his own experience and I believe everyone should fight the way that is optimal for their body type rather than following the exact formula of other fighters, that is my main concern in not getting private training. But hearing you say that makes me think I can probably keep getting away with using my coaches advice and your tips up until I reach my pro career at the very least. Much love from South Africa, youre a legend around here, everyone at my gym treats your word as gospel 🙏

According to Tyson Fury all you have to do to box is: hit pads, run, spar.

I dont know what are you saying isn't specific... need more details maybe?

[@timm285]

@@ahmedalhamadi1231 exactly what I said is what I said.

[@nwbdirge1198]

I mean yeah because pad work allows you to work power, speed, precision and if you have a good pad holder defence also, running gets the cardio up and sparring allows you to practice defence

[@lilflagz8341]

[@TheRotisserie_Mystery]

I took a month off then i got back in and was given a fight that was supposed to be for september but now its for next month so i guess i got one month

[@undeadpresident]

I've found that swimming is great for the joints and the heart but by itself is not so good for stamina that translates to boxing/kickboxing. People usually call aerobic training "cardio" because the heart is the primary focus, but there are adaptations which occur in the working muscles and blood vessels that make it largely specific to the type of activity performed. Swimming doesn't really train the lower body so this can be an issue. I think the single best supplementary form of training for developing stamina for boxing/kickboxing are elliptical machines because they work the upper body as well as lower while placing less wear and tear on the body than running. This allows for more volume of training and/or better recovery ability and lower risk of injury. The machines also give objective feedback on performance which makes it easy to measure yourself.

[@undeadpresident]

Just remembered, one exercise in the water that is good for boxing is treading water but doing so by rotating at the torso and moving the arms and legs in opposite directions. So like you move both arms clockwise while the legs rotate counterclockwise and vice versa. Can work the obliques and hamstrings fairly strongly doing this.
