It helps but it’s more about the mindset

[@TheNightblindness]

No it's about better anaerobic system . when you re in real fight hearth rate is always at near max .

[@peterhagtharp4263]

@@TheNightblindness Depends on your fighting experience. if you've not done any training whatsoever then your fight or flight response will kick in (increase in adrenaline) however if you do have the training you tend to be calmer in such situations.

I spar with heavier fighters all the time so I end up being a counter fighter, but I find that I become the pressure fighter when I spar with people with the same weight as me. Thanks for the tips!

You soak in from various styles and techniques, You plan and prepare in a really pragmatic way. You are like the Batman of kickboxing. Thank you this awesome videos. Could you come up with a video of your favorite combos and one's that would work in a real life altercation?

In football defensive backs or basketball defense drills are good cross training for getting used to sticking with someone's lateral escape angles

[@dontblink3042]

yes sliding with a imaginary plank in-between your legs so you don't click your feet.

[@froggyluv]

Great stuff again coach. Request: Long shots -meaning long uppercuts and hooks. Boxer and Thai coaches always have me shadow or padwork with really short 90 degree hooks and close uppercuts but i see alot of successful fighters using much longer versions of these shots which seem to break the rules but work. Can you explain drilling them and proper arm leverage for long range punches?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Good suggestion and added to my list of videos to film 👍

[@nharli_etc]

Hey Gabriel! Love your videos and I’ve been studying up on how to defend against pressure fighters and long range fighters. I am still working on my cardio and fitness but I’m working on strategies for fighting someone with good distance control and over all better stamina. I’m decent at slips but tire out very quickly. Besides working on my cardio, how can I better strategize my fights to limit wasted movement?

[@whoknows8223]

Hey Gabriel, your videos and breakdowns are awesome. I told my lockdown sparing friend (smaller than me) to throw overhands when fighting a taller opponent. We are friends and help each other. Now when we spar he's using that against me very often and to be fair its helping him a lot and hes hitting way more (I really have a harder time see those coming which is good for him). He is also starting often with the overhand left. Before he was barely hitting me clearly. I wonder what I can do against them? Other than having a tight guard and after blocking starting my own attack I dont really have an idea how to deal with them/ nullify etc. Sometimes I try to back up, but timing does not work always. Sparing is getting quite wild and "uncontrolled" with these overhands. After 1 hour sparing it still adds up and I feel it my neck and head. What are the best things to do against the overhand left/right? Could you do a video on that someday?

[@innocentbystander4914]

Leverage guard or step laterally away from the powerside

Hey Gabriel, been a big fan for a long time now. Your videos have helped me improve a lot and I have my first amateur mma fight in June so I’ve been taking your advice and getting that cardio up as much as possible! I love hill sprints because of how much I hate hill sprints 😂 but I was wondering if you have a workout that you do at home to simulate a HIIT session like sprints for when you don’t have the time or just can’t get outside to do sprints? Thank you so much! 🙏🏼👊🏼

Could you make a video on defending and blocking middle and head kicks a lot of times you have to guess where the kick goes do you have any tips?

[@awilliams3881]

experience is the only way to learn where the kick is going there isnt enough time between when the kick starts and lands for you to analyse and remember what you learnt in a video experiance is the only way. with blocking your options are check, parry, dutch block and evade (lean back or low/middle evasions). simple, im guessing your a beginner you should have all that down within 3-6 months of sparring

[@thepolticalone961]

Would you use that kinda pressure in a MMA fight where the gloves are smaller? Wouldn't it make a higher static guard easier to break through?

[@Gloin79]

You're gonna start clinching or wrestling when you're that close i think. Watch some khabib fights, famous for his pressure

[@dylananderson6906]

Does fast and slow twitch have a effect on being a pressure fighter?

[@kidbuu3306]

Interesting question, really you can pressure with both as fast twitch can pressure you with power and speed (like McGregor or Ngannou) but slow twitch can pressure you with pace and durability (Diaz or Colby)

[@dylananderson6906]

@@kidbuu3306 yeah thats what i mean you can pressure anytime but people with slow twitch like max Holloway and Nick diaz can pressure for 5 rounds but ngannou and mcgregor gas after 2 or 3

[@NinoZGB]

@@kidbuu3306 you also have to be tough as a nail to be slow twitch pressure. just look at the best ones like colby, diaz brothers, ferguson, holloway etc. they can take some heavy shots and just continue going forward

[@Hshjshshjsj72727]

this didnt mention clinching or elbows and knees ? or are those not helpful with pressure fighting

[@thehugoadams]

Do you think that this kind of strategy apply to muay thai fight. 'cause if we look at the technic when you're putting so much pressure on your opponent that your gloves are touching him in kind of a classic boxing hand to hand situation, i'm asking if this would work with elbow involved which clearly represent a threat at close range.

[@joelrusk6412]

Anyone have a link for this fight being referenced?

[@chienbanane3168]

I have a question: some fighters say they prefer to kick with the upper part of the shin (closer to the knee) rather than the lower part when the opportunity is there, as they claim it does more damage. Any thoughts on this?

[@kristianjensen5877]

It probably does add a bit more power into the target to strike like that. The point of contact is closer to the origin of the force and less force is absorbed by the elasticity of the striking leg (striking closer to the instep will cause more force to translate into bending the leg on impact). Kicking and striking with the shin closer to the knee sacrifices range though. Probably might as well just do a proper knee if allowed in the discipline.

[@minithaiboxer6935]

Who was the guy that you fought ?

[@valhalla2624]

Okay but what if i am fighting a guy that is taller than me but the same weight

[@troyphonethong7893]

How can u avoid the clinch or neutralize it while doing this pressuring

[@caroline7648]

In order to initiate clinch you need to wrap your arms around the head or waist of the opponent. This works well if theres an opening which you can use to get the clinch. But at the same time trying to clinch leaves you open for punches. So effectively the solution is to punch so much they dont have an opportunity to clinch without eating a shot.
