Can you do a video show casing everything you know ? It's for a friend And a 📖 😁

You are legend

[@MartialArtsManiacc]

The uppercut is a punch that I feel more comfortable with in recent months. I've been landing it clean in sparring and rocked my last opponent with it a few times in my last match. But I'll definitely add and sharpen it with these tools

[@backtobasics8046]

Awesome video man can you do another video on the overhand right? Different setups, different styles (looping vs more tight) how to land on taller opponent etc… Thanks brotha

[@Nergal123]

Have you seen tim witherspoon and world class boxing’s videos on overhand? If you haven’t check it out, for me they show it the absolute best.

[@cthulhu4278]

Thnx for the great tip!!!

I already notice the difference and feel more comfortable and don’t lose my stance now thank you gabriel

[@Ash__Adler]

Always good to go over the fundamentals and make sure they're dialed in 🙂

[@ledzepaulin6581]

The exaggerated follow through uppercut is called shuuuuryuuken!! By ryu and ken

[@jjun2891]

I find uppercuts the hardest punch to practice in sparring because it's so hard to land a soft one. They almost always tend to land straight under the chin or if they tuck, right on the mouth 😓

[@adambond8542]

Faking a hook first works well sometimes.

[@KelpWolf]

Nice video. Good info. I think beginners may still be scratching their heads, but this is great info for intermediate. A step-by-step follow-along could help people put together the feet, hips, set-up motions (feint, strike, slip), the 2 variations of uppercut, and how to follow through and return the strike.

[@kingofgufi]

every time amazing explanations! thanks!

[@IamYadayada]

Great pointers on a awesome and fun technique. I was suprised you didnt mention the small circle you can make before throwing the uppercut. Maybe as an alternativ or in conjunction to rotating your body before throwing it. Perhaps it's a style thing as that was the way I learned I Thailand, the teori is you can bypass the guard(especially tight guard) more easily. Thanks for the video!

[@muhammadhaiqal531]

Perfect timing!, literally yesterday my coach was commenting about my uppercut

[@HistorydnClarity]

[@pelejahosoba5280]

Love you always Gabriel

[@REG96AV]

I've been working on it quite a bit recently on it so this looks very helpful

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I hope this helps you dial it in.

[@REG96AV]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial thanks, been landing body uppercut regularly and the occasional uppercut to chin think this will help me make head uppercut skill not luck

[@crisalidx5881]

Amazing video with so much info!, thanks a lot!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

My pleasure!

Remembering that shoulder movement helped my shadow boxing 1000%... As well as utilizing quick body punches when setting them up. It was different for me throwing an uppercut into an actual target vs shadowboxing, whenever I would practice those setups or combos, angles, etc. I seemed to do it correctly without thinking about it when having something to hit, but always felt something was off when shadow boxing. Kinda like it was awkward and with less power.That and I would never use the uppercut in the same ways I can now....sure enough it was remembering that shoulder movement. Eventually I'm positive I would have regressed when hitting the bag, pads or sparring, since you perform the way you practice. Having channels like this helps so much for people like me, who can't afford a good gym or trainer to keep those corrections in my mind so it becomes second nature.

Subscribed brilliant,my Kru always says uppercuts come from the chest.

[@ahmedalhamadi1231]

As always interesting topics beneficial explanation before I even see the video I know the quality 😊✋

I just rewatched your video on scoring the Sterling vs Yan fight. Could you do videos of you scoring fights that were close/controversial?

[@PBas-qq4uh]

Why do so many fighters lately seem to pull back their cross in a big looping arc?? I see it all the time, was always told to pull it straight back A to B. Is it just showboating, or just bad practice maybe? just curious.

[@domdompomodoro6621]

Nice !

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thanks!

Hi gabriel Im your fan from south korea I am east asian and my leg is shorter than normal people(white, black, same asian etc. . .) Can I be good at kickboxing? My body is like upperbody : lowerbody = 1:1 Do you ever see short leg people is good at kicking? (Not just small guy. I mean short leg compared to their height)

[@진서-k5p]

I am southpaw and I find it's really hard to land crisp left uppercut(back hand) to orthodox sparring partner. Only long uppercut with lead arm work for me.

[@rolandotillit2867]

When are you going to do a video on check hooks and uppercuts?

[@Nergal123]

Oof check uppercut? Like a pivot uppercut counter? I’ve only seen Cubans pull that off with any consistency

[@daichialn8211]

Hey sir iam from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳 i have a doubt if a fighter won a major kickboxing title. If the fighter can sign up with ufc ??

[@cahallo5964]

3:13 isn't that a shovelhook?

[@bricktea3645]

Make a vid a about hooks now

[@HAYAOLEONE]

👍

[@becraftcorey]

why do kickboxers not make all that much money compared to other combat sports?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Less audience in North America I think.

[@rolandotillit2867]

Too much follow through on the uppercut and you're basically don flamenco from punch out.
