Superlek's Low Kick Trick!!!

[@johno5605]

How true. Basics win fights but it's astonishing that Takeru can withstand that much punishment to the thigh.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

He took a beating and didn't give up. Impressive!

[@johno5605]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial out of all your fights. Which one have you received the greatest amount of damage similar to Takeru?

[@nwbdirge1198]

​@@johno5605 in a video breaking down one of the hardest wins he said Sergey Adam kicked him in the hip and had him waking up at 2-3am every morning for a month in pain and feeling like he needed to vomit

[@bgmaster8557]

Not on the gip, on the bone above the hip next to the pelvis. Icy Mike said it somewhere the exact injury and it is normal to throw up after that. And Gabriel said in the fight It didn't hurt​@@nwbdirge1198

[@boredbootneck81]

The strikes are basic, but the strategies to land them are anything but. We all paint with the same basic colours but some people produce masterpieces. Amazing insight. Thanks Gabriel.

[@drift903]

Superlek has a lot of weapons to strikes than Takeru. Very nice simple explanation. Thank you.

[@masterofpastime6418]

this tip actually makes such a huge difference for me. even tho Im tall whenever i spar i always get checked and don't know why my punches dont connect, so much clearer and perfect video dude.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

Other people have checked Super Lek repeatedly. I think the problem is more unique to Takeru. I think he got low kicked a lot because he kept coming in to box and not prioritizing checking the low kick. He wanted to win with punches. When your mind is up high, your lower body is undefended.

[@MrMisterBatman]

He also fractured his knee in the 1st round, which might have affected his ability or willingness to check kicks.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

@@MrMisterBatman Fractured his knee? You mean the patella?

@@huwhitecavebeast1972 Not sure, but he posted on his instagram after the fight that he fractured his knee in two places after checking a kick in round 1.

You’re probably right but content creators gotta create 😂

[@aaroncaswell6451]

Really appreciate your explanation of the mathematics of fighting. It's crazy how simple the solutions are. It can be frustrating being on the receiving end of a simple cure that your opponent has over you

[@ThomasToPC]

So valuable to have a pro like yourself sharing this kind of tactical analysis - thanks Gabriel!

[@danielgarcia-benitez9603]

I've seen this explanation when discussing evasion in boxing, but I've never seen this stance discussed together with getting off kicks and punches in Muay thai. Thanks for that!

[@yomi_jeremy3964]

That’s exactly what I was thinking as well !

[@TheBitcoinExperience]

Great points, Gabriel! With regards to the kicks, they're fairly easy to throw, but you also need to remember and focus on pulling the leg back. That's something I struggle with the most and my coach pointed it out many times, during sparring. It's mostly due to a lack of stamina, but still needs to be worked on.

[@childishwoppa]

Keep it up! This helps alot and you explain great and not over complicate it! Appreciate that💯

[@tylerrisser7159]

Thank you for your content. You have leveled up my striking game over the past few weeks and it's appreciated

[@elserpientethechamp2122]

I really learned a lot from this video about landing more low kicks Gabriel. Will be sure to use these tips on my sparring session tomorrow! 🥊

[@elviskoprencka6470]

Really great video! I'll try superleks stance because as a short guy i struggle to be into the right range.Realy helpful Gabriel!

[@BlackLabbi]

Thank you man!

[@MikeyG04]

Would love to see a video on what makes Dimitry Bivol so good.

[@Testertest1756]

damn having you break it down on a super high level is amazing. I was like superlek is kinda fighting weird it's not too natural looking now I see why

[@itstrue-lcw1]

Excellent presentation Gabriel you are super generous, articulate & impactful with your Insight & demonstration. WELL DONE CHAMP 🏆 👏

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thank you kindly!

[@draganvojinovic3504]

Thanks Gab! Please make more videos like this

[@hunterlogan2913]

I use front leg round kick to thigh fairly often too

[@ethansumlin9209]

Hey Gabriel could you do an analysis on Soe Lin on and Nabil? I would like to know how to deal with a tall persons knee storms haha😂

[@scottwalker4968]

This also keep his lead leg further back, and a constant pressure that he is going to punch them...a double threat.

[@navinthiyambarawatte5121]

I like how his abs suck in but he’s not overly skinny.

[@Christopher-kf2rb]

When you look at Tawanchai you can see a similar approach. It’s beautiful

[@Yakovyisraelalayev-y5y]

amazing vid

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@AroundElvesWatchUrselves96]

Takeru wins his fight and he still has to get roasted 😂

[@DonzAutoDetail]

One thing i also notice is his base is wider than other traditional MT fighters

[@SweetShinns]

Love these videos. Where did you get that t-shirt btw?

[@becomingunhuman2106]

Hey Gabriel, been loving your videos for awhile now and I’ve been training at home for a few months but I want to take it to the next level without going to a gym. Which one of your offerings would you recommend? Offense course, defense course, or membership? Thanks brother!

[@Robert399]

Great video, thanks. But how do you defend low kicks with so much weight on the front leg?

[@Mm-mz5ok]

Love ur vids

[@amare2657]

Hey gabriel, do you think you could do a video on a punch heavy style like rodtang? I've been interested in the technique of his style and wanted to know what he does differently from the normal lowkick heavy style of muay thai.

[@Freqv]

Yess

[@philipcollins2631]

I think that he is just super tough. He just bites down on his mouth guard and goes for it. Regardless off what is coming back

[@angelmedinanajera216]

So superlek uses a kind of duch Guard?

[@mr.purple250]

No, he has his palms out usually but it’s high and kind of tight like the Dutch guard

[@diabolicamires]

Jab Cross

[@KEPSAGAMER]

1-2 1-1-2... ... it's more about can you throw a strike or two that set up a 4 or 5 piece and then keep pace and pressure til they shell and can't withstanding what you throw...

[@diabolicamires]

@@KEPSAGAMER Yeah but I am 23 hrs. faster than you 😅

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

if you strike with the ball of the foot you only have to land it (solidly) ONCE Pretty much anywhere on him that you do so, he'll be disabled and he'll either tap out or the next kick will drop him to the matt.

[@hogsandstews]

Tf r u saying

[@siegfriedc2332]

U talking about in a round kick? Yeah, hitting with the ball of the foot in a round kick is devastating, but if u mess up your accuracy even the slightest, there's a chance u might jam your toes.
