Who's going to start incorporating feints into their striking game???

[@hotsloleu]

Going to start practicing these tomorrow at Muay Thai, thanks for the tips!

[@ligmaballz1]

I'm incorporating it to my game in the bed room

[@paulorawdogcosta3630]

I thought faints are basics

[@codyconnell6510]

When I shadow box I try and say in my head, feint, fake, strike, head movement, foot movement. so I remember all the things I can and should be doing while shadow boxing, now to work on doing all that in sparring.

[@stephenzavatski8016]

Gotta have feints if you want to be offensive

[@critiquemytechnique2.0]

Hes got the best hip faints, years of dancing probably helps too

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yes. Those little hip pops really keep opponents guessing

[@jurhyify]

Izzy used to have a dance crew and also had a krumping style of dancing which makes so much sense with his feint style. Krumping is literally feiniting in a dance context lmao

[@whoknows8223]

Yes this. Heard him say that in an interview

[@paulorawdogcosta3630]

Feints are probably one of the biggest part of my game as well as distance management. It just saves so much more energy and put so much more control on your side

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Massive energy saver for sure

[@remyhavoc4463]

Your pfp and username 💀

[@googlegmail9888]

@@remyhavoc4463 super disrespectful and classless

[@BMO_Creative]

I like Varga's feints! You keep guard up and eye contact and feint with forward posture! Worked great in Karate Combat!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

HAHA. It works but I should add something other than pressure pressure pressure

[@BMO_Creative]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial LOL! But you're like a mouse trap! Looks like it's not going to go off, then WHAM!!! LOL

[@-_ellipsis_-5219]

Feints are the highest level of combat. "The threat is greater than the execution", as they say. Someone with amazing feints can win a positional battle without throwing a single attack.

[@-_ellipsis_-5219]

I like to separate feints into 3 categories: Offensive feints: where you show only 5%, 10%, 15%, etc of an attack, useful for setting up another attack or stealing position with threats. Defensive feints: "drawing the shot" is an old school boxing term, where you feint a target that looks appealing, when it's a trap you're ready to spring. Great for setting up counter attacks. Positional feints: going to move one way but moving the other. "Juking" your opponent, breaking their ankles. Great for getting out of corners, stealing positions for opening up an offensive angle, things like that.

[@james4727]

Tip I found useful is using a mirror to practice feints - The instant visual feedback helps you figure out what a convincing feint feels/looks like and nail down the muscle memory to pull it out without thinking in sparring.

[@ZolPsyko]

Volkanovski is really good at geinting as well. Its very interesting seeing how he uses it differently from Adesanya due to differences in their body types.

[@majesticbob884]

The account striking thoughts did a good cover on Alex. Hopefully gabriel does a video on Alex too.

[@ligmaballz1]

the GOAT

[@jaden_shah]

that whole gym is killer on feints

[@Evilj82]

I might put Volk at number 1 and Izzy at 2. It’s like a fighting game over there at City Kickboxing, using feints and fakes as frame advantage and capitalizing on the recovery .

[@alialabbasi4951]

You are by far my favorite online instructor. Exceptionally well spoken, knowledgeable and intuitive. Thank you for inspiring me to improve.

[@joshrey789]

Every sparring session I try to imitate adesanya feints. I always fail and get effed up. Lmao. But success will eventually come after all my failures.

[@dmd7472]

His feint game is probably the best we’ve seen in mma. I do love that this stick man beat all the Godzilla in the division. And how he’s not tried to protect records. Admiral for a guy at the top. No fragile ego

[@TheChilator]

I saw a comment that City Kick Boxing will do an hour session of only faint training

[@TheChilator]

You’re the best Gabriel 🙏

[@leb3289]

Most underrated combat sports KZbinr love ur vids

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks so much.

[@sportexploreandfood3961]

Thanks for the knowledge

[@coenh8735]

Hey man can you make a video about switchkick vs lead leg round kick (with a step)? Would appreciate that. Awesome content anyway brother

[@na__180]

Love your videos! Down the road do you plan on making a video covering Tawanchai? His technique is sooo crisp!

[@mskata2675]

I love feints so many different ways to use them offensively and defensively

[@jaden_shah]

Even the most basic feints can turn a functional striker into a great one

[@TheBrazilianMan69]

Great video, it’s gonna be good for me because i have a tall and lanky body type. The fake i used the most and it works all the time is the question mark kick. That’s my bread & butter

[@federalgodson]

One thing about Israel is that he can switch stances using defense and offense and it's not even noticeable. But it's so amazing if you slow it down and observe.

[@arronmdick]

Can you do a video on training supplements? I take creatine, glutamine, and a sports vitamin.

[@lexingtRick]

green tea gives me similar to caféine. Would cold tea like this be similar?

[@Jenjak]

I would add that a strikes that hurt will make them flinch even more. Because if you hit like a Nerfgun they won't respect your strikes and your feints even less.

[@codeblueopinions2908]

Can you do a video on Volks feints and striking style?

[@alexkehoepwj]

Is that video of Silva and Adysanya with the color coated feint highlights original? Or did you find it somewhere? Id love to see the full thing

[@thescumgod658]

Can you do a vid like this but on his question mark kicks? They look clean AF and are effective Appreciate the vids Gabe👍🏾

[@codeblueopinions2908]

Also give my boy Thomas Kincaid some credit!

[@alexmarques2398]

Before watching, I would say best distance is just a bit longer than ideal for power. One keeps safer and the opponent can see and fall into the trap; if he does, then one shortens the distance and finishes.

[@lmurashchik]

Tyson Fury is another guy to watch for feinting lessons.

[@alip2982]

🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@lionforlambs9167]

Let's gooo

[@gentritstatovci5384]

Im not gonna lie, i use my imagination quite a lot when training alone As soon as my brain thinks of a shot coming i try to train myself to counter it, or imagine his reaction to to etc It works for me, my reactions are much better now

[@kingades1013]

3:59 5:00 be outside of opponent’s hitting range but close enough for them to be threatened. Can be countered from too close 5:31

[@pangopod2969]

Do you have some advices to NOT fall for feints ? I'm almost always tricked...

[@gepagan]

Feinting itself could become a pattern in the opponent if you’re focused, observant and you roughly figure out what they’re trying to do. From there you can take advantage. Depending on the type of feint, the opponent may put themselves in a bad position very briefly. If you can time it right and punish them, you’ll make them think twice and even feel a bit silly sometimes since you’re reading their bluffs… In general it’s just a chess match so you have to expect feints to always be tricky. Just make sure you’re using them too and level the playing field as much as possible.

[@Reformsqua]

Israel is great... but he's 1-2 against guys his size in UFC

[@G36Kaers]

He is very good at them, volk too. Unless your name is Jan
