Sometimes I use the front kick fake just to get space or move off to an angle. The fake normally gets a good reaction off of people especially when you already threw an actual front kick

[@KittSpiken]

Love hearing same side front kick feint to hook, both body or head on the list. Never hurts to hear your heads in the right place.

[@zisispethanis4271]

Love the detail for the feint with showing the ball of the foot. Was a bit surprise you dint mention the fake teep to superman punch. This one flows very well for me, the raising of the leg been part of the movement of the superman punch, it makes it even harder to anticipate. The only difficulty people may have with it, is that you land on your switch stance.

[@Freiheit1232]

Thats a fun one

[@andre.1984]

Mike Zambidis used the slide fake a lot to close the distance.

[@elserpientethechamp2122]

This was an amazing Front Kick Fake Tutorial Video Gabe, so many of them that can be do well to utilize and confuse your opponents, you make so much great videos on time, you nail it every time, keep it up as always!

[@bongkem2723]

yessss, you read my mind, i wanted this video so badly !! master 1 technique and then improvise based on it, front kick = jab. 1. Fake kick to Jab 2. Fake kick to Hook 3. Fake to step and Knee 4. Fake to right Cross/Hook/Combos 5. Fake to roundhouse Kick 6. Fake to slide jump body Hook Note: show the bottom of your foot to make the fake more convincible!!!

[@binaryglitch64]

Thanx for the 'show them the bottom of your foot' tip... it increased the effectiveness of my feint-kicks by a noticeable margin overnight. I think I'm at the level where my opponents are learning to detect feints, and not take the bait. I'm starting to catch on too... I wasn't consciously aware of what specific details I was picking up on ie. seeing the bottom of the foot... IDK but either way it was very effective in the gym last night so I had to come back to thank you.

[@Eixyl]

One of my favourite, Damien Alamos does a great Seminar with this technique incorporated on KZbin

[@tophernolastname2378]

I've been landing your "combo to land a leg kick 100% of the time" 80% of the time. The fake-front-kick/1-2-3/low kick from one of your shorts. Pretty soon I think I can get it to 90%. I will try these next time, they flow into it very well.

[@nickl8914]

Great video I think a similar video about ways to fake roundkicks would be super helpful

[@averymemorablename329]

Gabe your easily one of the best martial arts KZbinrs out there. Hard2hurt is really funny and entertaining as well as very informative, but your channel is in my opinion much more informative and technical. Please keep posting technique videos it’s improved my striking significantly. Also, do you plan on competing in Karate Combat again?

[@Sacciuiguai]

Fake front and blast inside low roundhouse kick to the calf or fake front into question mark kick are my favourite ones!

[@erniechang2915]

Love it. It’s a lot like the Thai hop but selling it more with exposing the foot

[@christopherspohn8071]

A fake or faint should always lead to an attack or when i use to sparr, today maybe the fighters are better and not easily set up with fake.

[@M-a-k-o]

I have scoured KZbin for kickboxing channels and find yours and Bazooka Joe's are the best. Thank you for your instructional videos and crystal clear explanations🏆 This one gave me so much food for thought to try out in my gym👌

[@ancientdarkness3102]

Awesome content, i had already figured out some things to do after faking a teep but this video just gave me so many more idea. Other options would be the Thai hop (shown in the video) followed by hand traps and either elbow or hook, or a more diagonal thai hop to a spinning back elbow (or fist) haggerty style

[@cva4003]

I don't have the words to thank you for sharing your knowledge. The expertise of a Multiple Champion 🙏🏻

[@Kennyton123]

Hey Gabriel! How do you deal with setbacks in fight camp, like catching a cold or injury? Also for how long/how do you assess when to return to training after a cold during fight camp?

[@petertallowin6406]

Excellent video dude. Thank you.

[@memevarg2530]

This was great!

[@joelsutton5748]

Great instruction

[@aaronamour6101]

This video will help me a lot! I love faking the teep! Thanks a lot, Gabriel.

[@hercules422herc3]

Excellent video brother

[@dpatel6393]

He makes it look easy 😅

[@jkdfighter4964]

Fake front kick --> crescent kick fake front kick --> axe kick fake mid front kick --> high head front kick

[@theshapetv9203]

All with the lead leg or it doesn’t matter?

[@jkdfighter4964]

@@theshapetv9203 Technically, it dont really matter bro. However, if you look at the economy of motion principle which will save you time, effort, and distance, with the front kick it may be slightly weaker but it'll hit faster and if you train it hard you can develop a lot of power from a lead leg kick. Lead leg kicks are massively underrated.

[@ACarpenter89]

Do you have any advice for a overweight boxer and father who wants to get fitter and and have abs as well as get off cholesterol meds

[@justsomebird4285]

Nutrition, focus on maximizing natural T levels, keep training, try your best to keep up with younger guys to give you a goal to reach. Try to find time to naturally include your training into your routine and life with kids + work etc. Quick tip, anytime there’s an ad on KZbin or the TV, do a set of push-ups, sit ups, plank or squat for the duration of the ads. They will add up

[@amisfitpuivk]

I like the 'show your sole' tip to get a better reaction! I can see how that would work. GSP also had a tip to fake the front kick to the nuts for a better reaction. Nut kick is illegal, so who's going to expect a fake nut kick haha

[@amisfitpuivk]

One day soon we'll be able to type 'ChatGPT, please find me a few real fight examples on youtube of Gabriel's combos he mentioned in this video'. Can't say I've seen much of these in use, but I haven't even seen 1% of fights that exist for viewin either. But I do believe deception is the greatest art of war

[@justsomebird4285]

If you wanna know if these work in a real fight practice them then do it in sparring against opponents around your skill level or better. If you don’t know if it works or not, don’t wait for others to just confirm it for you. Find out.

[@smackdoe3626]

I use front kicks alot but almost exclusively from my rear leg. For some reason I can't really throw 1 that counts from my lead side. Any tips

[@fishinforfun3359]

Personally, my lead side is truly a teep. I almost lift my leg straight and push out with just the hip. My rear leg is that snap kick that could hit a face, although I don’t really use it like that much. Long story short, maybe consider your lead leg as that distance managing teep instead of a power shot.

[@cva4003]

Noob question here: Isn't it dangerous for your toes if you fake showing the bottom of the foot?

[@pussyhammer6969]

Nice

[@colinrodgers5657]

I have been having a lot of success with this strategy during sparring recently. After I establish the teep and get my opponents timing it opens up the punches and kicks for me. Great video Gabriel
