4 Awesome Punch Setups That Will Elevate Your Boxing

The basic attacks like jab cross are great but they aren't always the easiest to land because both attacks are directed to the same area. Today I share 4 of my favourite ways to make it easier to land a punch. Practice these in shadow boxing and then try them out during sparring. I think you'll find they are very successful.

[@dilichiohabuire2183]

Thanks

[@jonathananderson7516]

Hey man I really hope you keep this service going !!!! I would love to book one right now but I’m struggling to make ends meet financially as of right now

[@thomasfahey8314]

I can attest that Gabriel's virtual training is extremely valuable. It's an amazing time we live in that anywhere in the world we can connect directly to the most accomplished teachers.

[@juniorj.baptiste9205]

Had my session last night. Gabriel is the GOAT! Detailed feedback, came prepared, and very caring, homest advice. I strongly recommend 👌🏾 💯💯

[@BMO_Creative]

Varga is FAST!!! His speed seems even faster because he doesn't telegraph at all!

[@whoknows8223]

1) 1:25 jab feint, lead headhook 2) 3:30 Doubling up: bodyhook, uppercut same side or vice versa 3) 4:23 cross to the body, right overhand 4) 5:36 rear hook, jab Best example for 2) Mike Tyson: kzbin.infomCt_JNFMlcc?feature=share

[@xenios7]

Thanks

[@coachronhelpingtoheal7135]

Thanks Gabriel, our fight IQ's have increased from this teaching!

[@chronischermasturbationssc1027]

Nice thanks mr. Varga😄

[@JehuMartin]

Tyson loved that body hook then uppercut too. Good stuff

[@whoknows8223]

Exactly he was the master of it. Had many knockouts with it

[@mdc21787]

Regarding two of your combos… 1) the body cross to overhand right, I like to set this one up with a power jab to the body, just feels better and DEFINITELY lands once you’ve set it up, but I like the info of watching your opponents reaction to land the overhand more effectively 2) the rear hook to jab, I actually saw an old Chuck Liddell fight where he handed this combo VERY effectively and often but he used it reversed with a lead hook to cross. I liked it and tried it in sparring, the concept is the same tbh but the looping hook opens up the middle SO well, so using any hook to straight combo seems to be effective as hell.

[@elsuperpollo2273]

Gabriel should open a gym in the states and in Canada especially in central Alabama, I'd attend

[@mdc21787]

Another awesome video gabe. I’m currently working on a list of the best TWO punch combos. Obviously we can set these up with a jab, slip and end them with a leg kick. As a beginner, these simple two punch combos will elevate my offense and provide me some good counter options

[@whoknows8223]

My fave is Power Jab, Power jab to make them afraid and cover of my jab... Jab feint, liverhook Right uppercut feint, liverhook

[@dirtpoorchris]

One of the best training I had is punching candles and putting the flame out with fist wind. The more speed you have the more you are allowed to do and the closer you can creep in during your invasions. Eventually you get to a distance where you KNOW your punch can rock them thanks to your speed training and there is almost nothing they can do, they have let you get too close with the current positions and setup. The punch is now 99% guaranteed.

[@undeadpresident]

Jab to left hook definitely takes practice to get down. My favorite setups were always counterpunches and my defense was my offense and vice versa so if I felt desperate I'd go on the attack and to really hurt them I'd draw them in and hit them as they come at me. While moving forward my favorite is jab high cross low then left hook high. Drawing them in I most often slip and stick them to the body with either jab or straight right, but more damaging is to draw them in with a throwaway jab and vs their jab slip right and immedietely throw another jab to hit them while we both move in then if they are stunned follow with a right hand fully loaded from the slip; and versus their right hand to counter it with a left hook to the head (don't have your shoulder wide or low - important). Many opponents can be drawn into bad position just by taking measured steps back and then nail them, particularly with a right hand.

[@rddeb9304]

Hi Gabriel, I have a question for you. What are the best boxing/muay thai gloves for fighters who want the best protection while in their high guard during sparring. Love your channel, keep up the amazing work.

[@Ash__Adler]

Jab/hook and body cross/overhead are two of my favorite boxing mix-ups 😃 I'll have to see about incorporating the other two 🙂

[@anthonyventura8465]

Thank you for these consistently excellent videos. Everyday it’s something nuanced and helps me level up my game so much!

[@felixrondeau5029]

Great video!

[@Ninjacob00]

I can’t be believe we get all this information for free. You’re the best Gabriel

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

🙏🙏🙏

[@MuayThaiPat]

@@GabrielVargaOfficialthank you for your hard work truly

[@associazionenous1691]

I used "canelo" style set up to land liver shot and i landed it 3 times during last sparring session

[@blackpurple9163]

Can you start a playlist of learning MMA on your channel? Like actually learning to strike and grapple for beginners at home, I have no classes anywhere or even a partner

[@bocskai98]

My sparring partners continously use the long guard and I can't pass it easily. Getting into that range is excluded since I have no idea how to close distance without getting punched.

[@charlezmanalo]

hi Gabriel..can i request a video about your 5 favorite feints associated with video clip?

[@Mbruteblondi]

Do you ever watch Naoya Inoue? He’s got a very good lead body hook (maybe the best in the game) that’s worth analyzing.

[@robbybee70]

finally, someone else who Jab at the forehead

[@werecam56]

Can we expect a "What Makes Chingiz Allazov so good" soon? Fingers crossed

Hiii To make a this video in hindi language

[@_kendo_8772]

Double Touch Jabs to the face/gloves and then going down with a cross to the body always seems to work with me and catch my sparring partners off guard. It works like a charm 😄

[@__azzzul__]

I've noticed bivol does that a lot in his fights he sends a jab and does the lead hook

[@codycushman2738]

Great lesson. I’d love to learn a lot more about the mechanics of creating openings.

[@dilichiohabuire2183]

Cool video 🤗🤗

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thank you 🤗

[@roblafountaine6277]

Are all the belts behind you actually yours? And if so are the gloves next to them the ones you used to aquire them?

[@rabbitshady499]

You should do a collab with Tony Jeffries ..would be great!

[@muhammadtyson8676]

That guy is so annoying to me..

[@porkkana9898]

You can see these in action in his last KC fight. It's free on youtube and it is a good one👌🏻👌🏻

[@Riot076]

I actually love the jab to the long hook to the head combo. Maybe to the point where I became a bit too predictable with it, 'cause I really do use it quite a lot XD It may feel awkward at first, but once you've drilled and used it enough in sparring, you'll be able to get that satisfying snap even on the weaker, no pull back variation

[@theawesomest2850]

Fake your rear hand in-between the jab and the hook. Maybe actually throw a jab cross first but yeah that should help

[@Riot076]

@@theawesomest2850 That actually sounds like a promising idea, thanks!

Yes!!! Just what I wanted to work on. Setups! Thanks for the lessons

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

You bet!

[@chucknorris202]

Excellent video just what I wanted. Can you do more videos like this focusing on boxing tips(for muay thai/kickboxing)? Also can you do a video on your tight high guard defense, combined with what counter punches you like throwing after blocking/deflecting the opponents shots(which is gonna change depending on where they were aiming)? Do a video combining Punches and kicks too. This video, and ones like what I described, help me the most in my training.

[@theshapetv9203]

Love the videos Gabriel, you’re killing the content game rn! How you do rate the overall striking in Karate Combat compared to other promotions?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Hmmm. Well, their are some very high level strikers there. 5-6 come to mind. But a majority of the athletes still need to up the boxing skills before they be at the level of UFC strikers.
