Snake kick is very good indeed, had zero fights and did that to my coach with loads of fights and a few belts and it worked. That teep setup seems very fluid, I'll start doing it in my shadowboxing and try to get it flowing.

[@khuemxiongproductions]

It works a lot for me. Surprisinglu I never knew it was an actual technique. I just started doing it because people would catch my kicks.

[@KatonRyu]

Our instructor actually had us practice the first combo you mentioned last week. I think I'll give it a try in sparring tonight.

[@pollen1253]

Try everything your instructor makes you practice when you’re sparring! Thats why he’s showing you! Test them out and experiment with them

[@KatonRyu]

@@pollen1253 I do, I just didn't spar that particular week because I'd aggravated a lingering injury earlier and knowing myself I'd have made it worse in a spar.

[@fafodiesel1]

My MMA coach taught me that snake kick ( 3:37 ) my second day and its been my bread and butter since, works so well if you throw a couple of hard low kicks before to get them checking, then they're on one foot off balance and get blown back by the teep. Beautiful

[@ksh45er]

This is perfect.I'm not bad,but last time was horrible. Cant wait to try out some new things

[@bingsoo9559]

If I may share, a really good "combination" I've found so much success with is ---- Step jab -> Step back -> (Insert your favorite intercepting shot, preferably something that goes straight)

[@mliao1]

Yeah so good. Personally instead of something straight I like to throw a russian style check hook, scooting both my feet and whole body off centreline. Mainly cause one of my coaches has (according to him) ended careers by timing their step, and crashing in with his own spear elbow to the eye socket with the momentum of both fighter's steps.

[@RyanSmithization]

As a muay mat fighter, your knee combos really showed me that i can easily create the high guarding situations with my confident hands to create openings for my less than confident knees. Instead of always looking for hamds now i have a nice way of visualising knee opportunities to the body. Fuark.

[@G54doesDubs]

01:06 awh man you said the most Canadian thing ever (that's wholesome though)

[@christo6142]

I've been using the last one for a couple of months now, works everytime.

[@elserpientethechamp2122]

Now these are amazing for sparring, will be sure to try, and practice the snake kick, the most of all of these

[@xdavisx777]

Gabriel.. you never fail to put out good content. ❤❤.

[@rhysrocket1249]

Awesome combos and thanks for mentioning me!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Your fake is on point 👏

[@Jenjak]

I'm happy to see I'm already doing the snake kick. ^^

[@abramneitling4204]

Great video. I’m gonna watch it a bunch more times 🎉

[@lobohez7222]

Gabriel is truly MVP, this is one of the best videos of his and of all youtube

[@shikharbajracharya2421]

Great stuff. Thanks for this!

[@ElDrHouse2010]

2:20 that sound effect lol perfect timing

[@DeputyChiefWhip]

Nice combos. I really like same leg same arm front kick to step in jab. Rear hand cross lead and double it up.. Front round kick step off to dart in cross. Wonderboy Style jab step off to cross.

[@thedanish5523]

The jab reset body hook has quickly become one of my favorites

[@Godsnumba1]

Can you pls do a vid like this for southpaws? Thanks.

[@yuvrajchauhan5098]

i had the question and you just answered in last part wow

[@grim_blazer9120]

That snake kick is so amazing and it’s nice to see other people actually using it, I thought I was alone lol

[@teeps7098]

I love throwing out teeps so I'm trying that first combo next chance I get. Great info as always!

[@564g]

thanks man!!!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

You bet!

[@ricardoordonez8469]

Gabriel Varga, master of the pelican position 😎🔥 I thank you for this slick combos, I will incorporate them into my sparring today 🥊🥋

[@FJacket]

Your vids are the most helpful on this app

[@bunmeng007]

Love this. Gonna try in my next Sparring. Thanks champ!

[@robertocoronel-m8h]

I AGREE TOTALLY. GOOD COACHES ARE VERY HARD TO FIND (just like a good shrinck) most coaches over complicate. They end up killing the nature of the athelete

[@fototripper]

Some gold tips there Gabe.

[@johno5605]

certainly will practice these tommorow

[@bearfightsninja]

Amazing! thanks man

[@jsg9575]

Dude dropped 2 of the combos I use all the time

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Nice! Apparently we both know our stuff 😉 I hope you find at least 1 new combo you like.

[@strangeone7198]

Not really a combo but something that works for me a lot is, while hand fighting, feint the cross, bounce in and out, then fire the cross.

[@tallst1]

High level stuff right here

[@siddharthsoni-r6r]

love your content. respect from India

[@FunkedUpKids]

Love your content Gabriel. Could you do Southpaw-specific combos? 🙏🏾

[@johnrutherford9454]

Im glad i found your vids again, lost you for a sec 😂 thank you for the tips

[@zvezda4994_]

How do I master timing? It's the one thing I seem to struggle with the most, it's really hard to time someone when you're actively fighting them for some reason

[@Ali-cl6lb]

Drills give u skills pad work and what not

[@mohammednawaz524]

Keep sparring.

[@lordnutman]

more sparring for sure bro, timing is also space, remember that.

[@remyhavoc4463]

learn how to "control" the fight and take initiative Floyd Mayweather despite having great reflexes can time his opponents not just because of his reflexes but because of his ability to take initiative the fight against Juan Manuel Marquez is a great example

[@malkomalkavian]

Hold pads.

[@DaroZuo]

Gabe, can you do some body shot defense + counters? I'm tall, people usually go for the body so I'd like to at least make them think twice.

[@KYTICATS]

Awesome flow bro 🇹🇭🙏

[@williamguthrie613]

More please!

[@francoisschneegans8881]

Amazing stuff!

[@SmileFreestyle-hx2rc]

Are the long combos more for coordination building rather than for realism

[@mrl2.06]

Class work, glad i found your channel 😊

[@prvtthd401]

What do you think of the bang muay thai combo number system?

[@AsBusiness-jm1rb]

I usually do as southpaw ; jab , hook to body, hook to head then roundhouse kick or cross to stomach. Does that work in competition ?

[@Crafty.Veteran.Survival]

Outstanding

[@rtrilla]

My coach used to call the snake kick the Michael Jackson kick. Shout out to coach carter ❤

[@gageabdul]

At the gym I train at, we went over the Snake Kick a couple times..just never had a name for it lol

[@HJRC_]

I had a friend snake kick me to the groin. I can attest to its efficiency.

[@janandrewmacaso53]

Hilarious 😂

[@omaramaya2893]

How to land more of strikes more specifically punches

[@Cavalier9500]

Hi Gabriel, do you know why certain techniques work better in MMA than kickboxing? I notice rear leg 'front kicks/ mae geri' are more common in MMA (Tony Ferguson, Sean O'Malley, Conor McGregor), whereas in kickboxing the lead leg 'teep' is preferred. Is it the stance used in each sport that dictates what works better?

[@PeanutButterCoffeeBread]

the lead leg of mma doesn't pose much threat in mma, they use it less because of how close you have to be to land it. rear legs have way more threats like a roundhouse, ? kick, teep bc it can land at a safe distance. in MMA, strikers always have takedown defense in mind. that's why they don't stand too tall and keep more distance than KB/MT

[@UM3.Yasuke]

As an MMA fighter I'm gonna say it's takedown defense

[@mliao1]

I'm an assistant MMA coach, the reason we're not flicking out that lead leg like a jab is mainly cause it's easy to time a takedown off of it (even without a catch you're not gonna sprawl in time if your front leg was just in the air). Plus, the striking distance in MMA is a lot farther (again due to the inclusion of wrestling), so if you're gonna reach them with it you need to base off your front leg not your back one.

[@limboonwee2840]

would appreciate an advice for the first combo. would the jab hit because the push kick range and the jab ranges differ thus when you fake the teep, can the jab land?

[@sfire21xm]

That cross to knee reminds me of Saenchai, except he goes for the overhand.

[@malkomalkavian]

Thank you coach

[@Nemeantough1]

Hi, I'm new to the channel and to boxing/kickboxing. I used to wrestle in high school and really miss the competition and atmosphere that competitive martial arts has, I still have at least a few more months before I'm ready for a real fight but I can't decide between kickboxing and boxing... which do you suggest I try or how do I tell which I should do. For reference I'm 6'4" and 230 (probably will cut to 215 ish) speed is probably my weakest point btw

[@acexae2411]

I wanna spar so badly again but taking these few weeks to recover from a nutshot acquired during sparring, any nutshot recovery tips? 😂😂

[@jocoolshow]

Weeks?

[@davidbhart1867]

I feel like if you get hit in the nuts so hard that it takes *weeks* to recover you should probably go to the hospital.

[@strangeone7198]

I was in ur spot. Got kneed in the nuts, went to the hospital and it took me 2 months to recover. Sleep, eat healthy food for nutrition, and relaxing. You need to avoid junk food so your body has more resources to heal with

[@eddard9442]

​@strangeone7198 even with a cup on?

[@eddard9442]

Wear a cup

[@DrewProductions6]

just a question about martial arts gyms. my friend wants me to join her tang soo do class. should I, or should I try and learn boxing or some kind of grappling?

[@malkomalkavian]

Go with your friend. It will help with the whole process until you know enough to make a new decision.

[@DrewProductions6]

thanks, I emailed the instructor a while ago and he said that I could watch a class while he teaches, thanks for your advice!@@malkomalkavian

[@shivy-akl2293]

w vid

[@rafikrafik2832]

Perfect but what happened to your eyes Gabriel maybe it's a sparing

[@M.R.4.2.0]

Love the videos. But it would be cool if you had another person with you

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

And remember. Don’t be a Bob vs Saenchai

[@aidangittings]

I watched your video and KO’d my opponent in my debut! My Grandma didn’t stand a chance!

[@danielmacias9725]

Why my favorite fight coach Gabriel got satanic pentagram shorts on ?? ://

[@evanmar7609]

People don't fight fairly, they bring friends

[@1996reza1996]

Who does this guy think he is. He is acting like some type of kickboxing worldchampion. He can’t teach me anything i train UFC and when i see red its over for my opponents

[@corndogsauceman5495]

you train UFC? guess what pussy???!!! I train UFC, Bellator AND PRIDE!!!! What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
