Icymike is happy you made this

[@Ash__Adler]

Nice tip about targeting the lead hip 🙂

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yeah. That one threw me off the first time someone did it to me.

[@whitewh1]

One of my favorite techniques. I've had particular success with a snap version up under the right ribs--I'm not throwing it that hard in sparring, but several people have told me it hurts anyway. I've also learned (from watching a couple pro fighters) to chamber the kick as you throw the jab, then throw the kick as you retract the jab. The kick comes out very fast and unexpected.

[@closeredge5198]

By far this is my favorite muay thai weapon, and i use it in all ways, both legs, offensively and defensively. Chanchai Sor Tummaguri was a golden age fighter who teeped beautifully 💯

[@King-ws7su]

Samart also has a beautiful teep that he throws at an angle.

[@nitinbhatt2980]

i like the front snap kick. tyzani beztati kod petchpanamrong with it .

[@IrishCoffeee]

I damaged my ankle few months ago and while it's still healing I found your content which brightens my days, thanks for that 🙏

[@justinfreeman4614]

Same bro. I tore a bunch of ligaments last May. It's gonna suck - don't give up.

[@IrishCoffeee]

@@justinfreeman4614 get well soon fellow fighter

[@joelhernstrom6060]

I have pulled a muscle in my groin and I’m also watching gabriel’s videos all day haha since I can’t train 🥲

[@aldavedesierdo42]

How did you acquire that injury man?

[@justinfreeman4614]

@@aldavedesierdo42 I can't speak for OP. Mine was wrestling in class.

[@valmendez84]

That's very good, mixing the variety of kicks of savate with the strength and power of muay thai

[@tclyue]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻. The 3rd one got me threw up once, definitely not pleasant 😅

[@MrByaeger]

I learned a version from a Goju Ryu guy that i really like . Sort of a blend of a few here. You chamber like the snap version, thigh parallel to the ground, but then you spear forward using the hips with ball of the foot like you are pulling on a boot. Aim for lower stomach or bladder. Besides hurting it can fold the opponent over and bring their head into range for follow up

[@izzygarcialionibabaloipici6293]

Could you please do a part 2 coach? I'm curious how you use your front kick in combination with your hands, and how you would use it while moving, you showed a passing step (like the kicking foot became the lead foot) is that a common practice for you?

[@Cryttanz]

My motto is Teep > Everything, it's the longest weapon and if you have an effective teep you control the distance and the fight. Superbon is great at controlling distance and opponents with teeps and roundhouse kicks.

[@G36Kaers]

Superbon does it great, so does tawanchai. Although allazov’s footwork completed nullified superbons teep

[@morphine777morph5]

I love the Mae Geri so useful

[@14leonids]

Thank you. Please make a similar video about other kicks( roundhouse, spining, low)

[@benjaminyoung9694]

Yes, Master 🥊

[@zachary5018]

I have a fight coming up, thank you so much for making these videos. They are so helpful for someone who seriously wants to pursue the fight game.

[@whoknows8223]

I frontkick with my heel lol. I think you can kick way harder with it than the balls of your feet where you have to stabilize your ankle... Try it guys frontkick your sparring partners front leg with the heel 👌 Edit: yes you may lose cm in reach but I prefer power over reach. i like to think of if I am kicking in a door with full force

[@siegfriedc2332]

I use both, depending on my distance.

[@akramthegreat817]

thx gabriel gonna use it today in my shadow boxing

[@GeorgeOu]

I've seen a video of an older 50-year-old Thai master throw a huge variety of front kicks. Some of them turn the body so much that they turn into a sidekick even though they start off as a front kick. Some look like they start as a standard roundhouse but end up being between a front and sidekick and those are incredibly painful.

[@maxbattleman]

The round kick fake into a front kick is hard, mainly for the hips. I love using the jumping front kick, like Lyoto Machida. I also really like using the scooting side kick to the knee. Jon Jones used this to blow out opponent's knees, and that was a variation of the front kick.

[@YeYe-wz1wi]

Still waiting for Takeru technique/style breakdown

[@K4Tana]

surprise you didnt talk about the side teep it’s different then a karate side kick and is harder to catch then regular teep

[@jujiwastaken]

Gabriel please do a breakdown of how buakaw does his front push kick

[@shehankaushika1938]

1st watch from Sri lankaa

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Hello from across the world 👏

[@bingsoo9559]

Hope anyone finds it interestkng, I like pulling people in the clinch towards me before I attack their knee with a teep/stomp to make sure I strike a leg that has weight on it

[@PBrrtrn]

Fighting a dude with a good snappy front kick is like fighting a dude with three arms -- you think they're occupied punching or covering up then blam you just got socked to the gut and they look at you like they just pulled a magic trick. Absolute bull.

[@WeaponsRemorse]

Have you ever front kicked through your drywall? Haha Is that why that poster is there? 😂

[@Drikkerbadevand]

I feel like you rarely see Muay Thai fighters not put their hips into it aswell, they almost exclusively uses "push kicks" or at least something inbetween the snap front kick and the push front kicks. I wonder why that is.

[@jonharker9028]

In the scoring system used over in Thailand, points are scored according to visible effect on the opponent. That means damage, yes, but also pushing them around and getting sweeps / trips / dumps and other accepted takedowns / knockdowns. This also means punches tend to have a lower priority in scoring, which feeds back into what Gabriel noted about the modern Thai fighters not having the most crisp hands out there.

[@Drikkerbadevand]

[@ngoray]

some of these are ways to get kicked out of a gym lol.... like the knee ones

[@jonharker9028]

Yeah, undue damage to a sparring partner isn’t great, and Gabriel is among those insistent on good etiquette - but he’s also a professional fighter who knows some kicks are meant only for fights. As he mentioned, any front kick to the face in sparring is seen as an insult by Thai fighters, so he’s certainly aware of things being acceptable in the gym vs in the ring or cage. He could have reminded us about taking care of your training partners a bit more this time, sure, but I think it’s a minor element overall. You may think differently, of course, and that’s fair.

[@ngoray]

@@jonharker9028 I was training at one the the top gyms in the world, when I threw the knee ones they were NOT happy....I was asked by the gym owner to never do that again to his fighters while sparring

[@rextereditz]

MY KICK DOESN'T GOES HIGHER THAN CHEST WHAT SHOULD I DO , MASTER??

[@cameronkazan1630]

Stretch

[@dimitrispapachristou9706]

I wanted to point out a widely misused anatomical term. The "stomach". You can say belly or, more scientifically, abdomen, to refer to the area you are talking about. The stomach actually occupies only a small portion on the upper left of that area.

[@dontblink3042]

I prefer a teep over a snap kick

[@goronsaki2174]

I was getting my teep caught so I started going to the hip
