How To Use A Reflex Ball | Beginner-Advanced

[@cankerman5085]

I've been using reflex balls for about two years now quite frequently, i feel like it really helps the footwork and makes it easy to practice moving and punching at the same time :)

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

For sure. That means you're getting good at it. Too many people I see using them don't implement much footwork.

[@whitedom2041]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial are reflex balls better than speed bags? i already have a double end bag mum asking what i want for my birthday

[@lucashenriques4242]

Do you think its a good way of improving dodge reflexes?

[@Armilar255]

@@lucashenriques4242 not really, for me the thing that really boost my dodge reflexes is watching this daily: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnSlpomopqmJrs0 It really motivates me to not be a sandbag xD

[@Therealonepunch]

@@Armilar255 Yeah...that'll do it lol

[@obeesegeese1234]

I flinch a lot during sparring and I way I’ve tried to combat this is throwing the ball straight and blocking or slipping it while keeping eyes focused. A more advanced step might be parrying/countering as it comes back towards me. Hopefully this helps someone. Thank you for the awesome videos! 🤙

[@blvckhvgo6828]

This is what I'm struggling with the flinching I'm on day 2 of this wanted to start this before I started bpxing

[@DikiBolz]

Man I have just realised that when I sit down to watch one of your videos, 2 hours pass by and I am still learning and continuing to watch! I am enjoying your channel and your teaching! Thank you!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

That is awesome. I'm happy to hear the content is helping. Thanks for supporting the channel 🙏🙏🙏

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

If you got you reflex ball made it's time to learn how to start using it. Once you get down the basics have fun adding some tricks into your arsenal.

[@lrwhiteley]

What length should it be???

[@riandunneleavy4161]

@@lrwhiteley about arm length

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

@@lrwhiteley I got details in the how to make a reflex ball video which can out yesterday but quickly: about arm length. You can shorten after if you find it too long.

[@keithswynenburg2608]

Thank you much for this idea. I made a modified version for anyone struggling with the headband version like I am. I have a couple videos up on my channel using a similar concept. I wanted to start with my timing and work my way up...... Eventually I want to get up to speed with the headband version. Thanks again!

I purchased one a few days ago. I been using it everyday. Take your time at the beginning. Don’t get discouraged, in a few days you will get the hang of it. Love it!!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I was getting upset in the first week. Then it started to click and you start to love it.

[@fahadabdullah424]

String length is important. When i was punching the ball the knot untied itself and the elastic gave a real good smack to my face 😂😂😂

[@shel0016]

Its not easy but im.loving how it helps to improve hand eye coordinations and reflexes. Especially when it comes to moving out of the way of a punch or kick

[@diogoravasco6792]

Better late than never. Just bought one and on the box it says the elastic under tension should place the ball around crotch area. Guess it depends on the elastic/ball.

1:45 start 5:15 uppercut. Give it a month to get used to 6:35 catch the ball 7:00 turn sideways to dodge

[@Daniel-nk2mv]

I’ve noticed another good advanced drill is focusing on a point in the distance and hitting the ball without looking at the ball with your centralized vision. I feel like it helped me see hits that are coming from my peripheral vision and react to them with more certainty. Also to get the rhythm down I noticed that sitting down and practicing the feel of it while watching tv is helpful, because then when adding it to training it’ll be a little more fast pace after that week-month period of getting it down.

[@restistance4387]

I walk down the street doing this lol.A great tool the thai's used to do this because they had a hard time affording. Equipment i like to tie it to the ceiling and hit it.you will learn to block,head movement,hand and i coordation and learn how to put your knucks into your punchs it works great.

[@atul.nmenon]

bro can u tell in detail how you made that equipment

[@kobakareli]

Man, this looks so beautiful when done properly. I can’t wait to master it

[@HeathenRides]

I hobby kickboxed most of my life and still i never tried this, now when gym's are closed and I'm getting out of shape it's a perfect time to try this, I'm not good at training when it's not fun but this looks entertaining.you have a lot of good tips

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks. It's very low on my list of training priorities but as you said now is the perfect time. Reflex ball, shadow boxing and following along with my at home kickboxing workouts is helping me stay sharp.

[@HeathenRides]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial yes I guess you have to be really good at this before it starts burning or become somewhat effective training.i wish shadow boxing was more entertaining i been thinking about using my projector and project opponents at the wall, i just wish I could remove the loser of a good match so it looks like I'm going against the winner,,,

[@abbylynn8872]

Can I just say thank you. Thank you. 💕 I saw this on another video and went down the rabbit hole of watching videos. I'm older and have a ulnar nerve injury in my arm. This was a perfect explanation and demo of how to get started. This will be perfect to build some strength in my arm that doesn't require me gripping anything. Have a happy and blessed 2023💕

[@leoc.9500]

Thats a Lot of fun, once you get a little better and manage to hit it a couple Times in a row

Bought one of these today, tried it and yeah; not as easy as I thought it would be. Watching you do it made my jaw drop. You make it look ridiculously easy! Interesting that you prefer it to the double-ended bag. I have one of those too and really like it. But seeing what you did has made me want to get good at this. Thanks! Great video.

[@Therealonepunch]

Just need some practice ;)

[@faiz7180]

Do you used hand wrap for this? Or just man up and go through the pain?

[@dunerunner77]

@@faiz7180 I bought padded training gloves. I knew a boxer who always criticised me for not using wraps. He was right. My hands are stiff these days and I regret not listening. Look after your hands. Also without something covering the knuckles the ball will bounce off them at odd angles, so padding helps with that.

[@mikkey246]

Did you get better

[@monfrecher9449]

Just purchased one of these things after seeing a few vids of people using them thinking, this'll be a piece of cake. Good grief was i wrong!

[@bigjay24910]

My son got one of these on two days ago. I’ve used it so much I’m already on the “advanced” level. It’s easier to do if you wear hand wraps or gloves as the ball doesn’t ricochet off your knuckles so it’s easier to control.

My knuckles are red now. Also it started to hurt while hitting. I used wristbands and basic cotton gloves. Still this happened. I used a bit of ice but this issue makes it uncomfortable to train. Is this smth what will improve as the body/hands get used to this kind of training?

Your knuckles will get use to it but when they start getting sore use your body gloves. I just tried with boxing gloves to see if it works and it definitely does. Protect those hands.

I play the guitar and found the same issue trying to play the next day, however you do get use to it. I started with boxing gloves, then when with wraps.....still training and got my guitar fingers back. The body will heal itself and be made stronger when tested. Stay well. Stay healthy!
