He doesn't have nice control. That's as fast and hard as he can go.

[@SenseiSeth]

It took everything I had.. and it wasn’t even close to enough 😂😂

[@josecarbia8181]

​@@SenseiSeth You looked terrific! That frame to the slip then shoulder bump was hella impressive, your sidekicks were next level as always, great control, and predicting his knee to a clinch spin got you in a great position. If your confidence matched your humility, you'd realize you're one of the best karate dudes on the planet based on this spar. You weren't slugging at just any jabroni.

It really should not have been surprising at all.

Mike is the same way, fun channel, usefull tips, Jesse is the same way. Gabriel and WB are pros and skilled, no one is denying that lol I'm sure Seth and company would agree lol so just watch the video and enjoy 😉

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

Seth was looking solid. His head movement was great, everything. Especially for his size. He could probably be a whole champ if he wanted to.

[@thehardway8197]

Honestly, I'm not sure why Seth is still 'chubby'....I mean, I watch his videos, and he works his ass off at everything he does. I have to assume he really loves cake or pasta...or something, cause the dude ain't chubby through lack of work. He straight-up grinds, and does things he isn't familiar with like medieval sword fighting, or fencing, or sumo wrestling, or whatever he can find. If most people worked as hard as he does, they'd be freaking shredded.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

@@thehardway8197 some people do just have slower metabolisms. Just like there people that can eat 5 meals and not gain a pound, I'm sure there's just as many that can sweat their butts off every day and still be 'chuby'.

@@thehardway8197 I think he'll be "chubby" forever because he was really big due to food and heavy lifting so he'll look like that forever because of loose skin (unless he weightlifts again and regain muscle but he doesn't look interested in any of that anymore)

Wowww, Seth leveling up his game! If you watch some of his older stuff, you can see he's getting even better

[@sym9266]

Over the years I’ve noticed Seth does this thing where he takes a step or half step back with his lead leg into a square stance or into southpaw. I would love to see him develop a technique to throw from this stance specifically (a check right hook or even left uppercut off rythm) he doesn’t attack after switching stances, so it’s possible to just blitz forward because he’ll only try to reset. It’s clear he’s improved a lot, however.

[@austythesnowman5093]

Good round, great techniques and i love the control from both of you. Would love to see more sparring footage on the page! With and without commentary were both good in this video!

[@jeffreyfigueiredo1740]

Amazing skill from two very gifted athletes. Bravo!!! Love how you two gave good contact but showed impeccable control and respect for one another.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I was pretty impressed overall. But there are 2 things that you can't really assess in light sparring. 1. Ability to take a shot. 2. Ability to keep pace if I turned it up. But he did well and was trying to focus on a karate style to replicate potential opponents I may face. Maybe that's not his ideal style.

He's lacking in the punches, but I love the way he fights, he should practice more of those one two blitz moves, just like wonderboy

[@banbrotherhood]

Great video as always, just had one question/request. How do we deal with opponents that come rushing in with their hands up?

[@whoknows8223]

- move your feet. - Teep the shat out of them. To stomach and lead leg above the knee keeping distance. - spamming inside lowkick. Time it with the step of their lead leg. Cannot check when you just stepped and transferred weight onto the leg. - Spam check hooks angling out. - throw uppercut (fake) to make them shell up, then going hard to the body. So they will think twice of marching forward. - when they still cover the distance to infight and are better at it than you. Clinch with them to prevent infight.
