[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I'm loving this series. This is one of the ways I worked to improve my own skills around a decade ago. Watch the best fighters and figure out how to be more like them. Artur Kyshenko was probably the guy I got the most from in terms of how my technique, attacks, defense look. I hope everyone enjoys the Buakaw episode.

[@elliottdaunois6697]

Hope we will have an episode a out this man too. Thx a lot for the content !

[@The_Reality_Filter]

Impressive breakdown as always. Looking forward to the Izzy vid.

What makes Gabriel Varga so good? ❤️❤️

[@henrikeriksson9234]

His defense, fighting smart and his box combos, IMHO.

[@violent_bebop9687]

Man , look at all those belts in the background, lol. Gabriel is a living legend. Head down to his gym everyone!!!

[@eric_martindale1711]

He’s def a “thinking” fighter. I think we see a lot of fighters get really far on training and repetition. But I think Gabriel is a cerebral fighter and genuine strategist.

[@mooeing]

Buakaw was my favorite fighter back in k1 max in 2006 to 2010. I started muay thai because of him.

[@mmareviewer.2372]

Buakaw is a dedicated hard worker.

[@MERVILLE3]

Except for when Saenchai is leading him astray🤪

[@mmareviewer.2372]

@@MERVILLE3 Saenchai is an influential character for sure...

[@hungniirulfur920]

still he cant beat sanda and neither can saenchei hahaha

[@enlightenedlearner434]

@@hungniirulfur920 Kungpoop is falsified, dumbazz. Even the Chinese unmasked it themselves. Your |diot sanda just stea|s from Muay Thai and rebranded as Kungpoop. Your'e b|ind to |ick their ba||s.

[@rastabg23]

buakaw is the greatest fighter i've ever had the opportunity to watch,

[@cattys4523]

Pls do Giorgio Petrosyan breakdown. It would be pretty interesting.

[@moustachio334]

Buakaw also has underrated boxing technique. His combination of western boxing and Thai boxing is what made him so dominant in K-1.

[@noaroos6115]

Saenchai (that's how it's written right?) would be amazing to analyse, his style is mind blowing to watch imo

[@tamo9659]

For me saenchai is the one you show people who have never watched a single fight in their live and I’m not even talking about Muay Thai I’m talking about martial arts as a whole topic. He is one of the most exciting fighters humanity has ever seen on high level. His fun is ridiculous

[@noaroos6115]

@@tamo9659 I absolutely agree! Him and Lerdsilla have such amazing movement and skills in the ring, it's marvellous to watch

[@Man-iy9jk]

Masato breakdown would be cool as well.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I will definitely do that as well. Another one of my top favourites to watch and I certainly know what I'd mention for his top 5.

[@Man-iy9jk]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial thank you.

[@lockeddownboxing9904]

I don’t watch a lot of Buakaw but I naturally do the knee entry you’re talking about. I wasn’t taught to do this way it just feels naturally advantageous when you think about the long guard. I use it from time to time in sparring.

[@0nikage.]

Ooh giorgio petrosyan please my good sir!

[@ares8553]

Agreed. Gabrieeeeeeeeeeeeel!

[@caiquecarvalho771]

Buakaw was what made me start training Muay Thai. I really liked his style. I am right handed and left footed, so a fight in orthodox stance but my style evolves around kicking because I have a karate background. Seeing Buakaw throwing those switch kicks made me realize that this is the style I want to incorporate.

[@dabi8768]

wow how can you be right handed and left footed!

[@GenkiGymChristophePruvost]

What makes Masatooooooo so good!!!

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

He pushes with his hands, teeps with his kicks, and etc. very useful for a technical fighter

In traditional Chinese martial arts, the palms-turning-out dimension of the long guard also helps with deflection because it slightly changes the direction of your opponent's strike! Thanks for another dope video!

[@andre.1984]

Hi Gabriel, nice video. One potentially interesting follow-up would be to break down the Buakaw vs Petrosyan fights to see how The Doctor handled those techniques. Cheers.

[@kevinthomas7259]

Buakaw kick game....is on another level

[@ianfong1000]

Something to note is that buakaw uses the switch kick to stymie the power hand of big punchers like Zambidis. Every time they try the big cross they suddenly have to cover up their head because of the switch kick

[@liamjames5571]

An episode about the goat of kickboxing Petrosyan would be amazing as well. Great work

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

On it! 🙏

[@scottdaniels4981]

Thanks for the feedback. My list of fighters to cover is growing crazy fast. I'll do my best to keep up.

[@rykehuss3435]

Roy Jones Jr was carried by his speed and athleticism, not his technique. Fighting like him when you dont have those attributes is asking for a lot of trouble.

[@geminijeff1]

@@rykehuss3435 you dont become one of the greatest boxers without some technique. It may not always seem like it and yes his athleticism helped but he understands boxing on a level that most never will. And even if he was all athleticism he still did something right and it would benefit everyone to know about it. Even if just a good S and C program.
