Why do people in the comments try to tell a 6 time pro champion kickboxer what’s right and wrong like the arrogance of people 😂😂

[@marklanda6824]

Because they’re dumb! LOL

[@ArtistDaynz90]

But why do you think nobody else knows anything but the people you idolize lol.

[@anthonyhill3194]

there are nine comments including mine right now, not one of them is trying to tell anyone what's right or wrong

The all time great boxer Salvador Sanchez used this defensive move a lot during his fights and countered very effectively off of it. He is often considered a defensive master and this was a big part of his defense game.

[@h4z]

Good call. Salvador Sanchez is name not many people know. All time great boxers like Roy Jones and James Toney often cite Sanchez as their favorite boxer growing up

[@lukasleong3640]

Could you make a video about moving backwards and cutting angles and head movement? I feel that’s something really helpful!

[@danielrochester9768]

I feel like gabriel is reading my mind, every time I come home from training and go on KZbin, the exact thing I've been thinking about working on, is there waiting for me haha

[@joemcguts1962]

Man this is one of the best tips on the most important essentials. I saw a former coach use this a lot in sparring combo demonstrations where he did basically all the time without ever mentioning this technique itself at all, it was just deeply incorporated into his style. Used it ever since and find it is the most superior defense in sparring. Sure it leaves the body open, but since I personally do not do any kind of tournaments with full power, I can basically take all the hits to my body pretty easy compared to eating anything with my head.

[@realverse]

Man those kicks are so smooth.. thanks great vid as always

[@OmerPepic-t2o]

yet againg some another amazing video of gb. man this works wonders in my defence. like it has helped me alot.

[@HaqueIndustries]

Please make a video on how to blitz properly while staying safe and how to effectively use the blitz 🙏

[@tazminiam5164]

I happen to like this block for bare knuckle or self-defense. It covers really well; even without gloves, and you're not relying on your hands to take bone on bone contact.

[@gigachad6885]

Same, I prefer it to the 52 block Dustin Poirier uses, I feel like it's faster to chamber an attack with the same arm

[@JonLewis-ct2mk]

I concentrate on protecting the arch on bottom of my feet from upper cuts.especially during horse stance.

[@elserpientethechamp2122]

Awesome video Gabriel. I have been utilizing the same block for years now and perfected it. Only thing I was not 100% sure about were the body shots and uppercuts, which I got the answer to in this video. Great stuff! 🥊

[@haistapaska20]

Gotta try this. Seems like there’s an idea 💡

[@Fliegercantfly]

My elbow used to catch peoples feet and shines that way. Stopping them for a second. I liked to left and right roll guard to left and right elbow guard. I remember someone telling me not to do that and then someones foot played peek a boo with me elbow. we took a 30 second break.

[@LOYAmusic]

I found this to be an effective defensive move, and it definitely feels like I am taking less impact than if I am just shell blocking with my glove. That said, sometimes sparring partners get upset with me for “using elbows” even though it is just a block not a strike 🤷‍♀️

[@siberiantiger1975]

Thx coach 😎👊

[@someboi4903]

Kazuki Osaki is pretty good at this iirc

[@madmaster3d]

good video ty

[@KeastKannegaard]

As most gyms dont work enough on defence, are there any way when doing padwork, to work on your defence, that doesnt involve the padholder?

[@peterk2735]

He has a lot of videos on how to work in defence during your bag work/shadowboxing

[@h4z]

Just include it into your shadow and bag rounds if you're doing individual training

[@shinjiikari1021]

So would us southpaws be slightly more vulnerable doing this move? Because our right side would be more forward, the liver which extends down pass the ribcages only on the right side, would that make it more vulnerable to liver shots specifically?

[@trapdoorbeaver]

its way more than slightly vulnerable for us southpaws utilizing this technique on the lead, due to the open stance angles, the lead hand spike guard is more aligned to block the orthodox cross, while the rear hand is more aligned with the orthodox jab, this doesn't mean you cant use it on the lead hand since its still going to stop a jab and a head hook but its not without risk, i like to utilize the rear spike in combination with the lead in a standard dutch position for pretty full coverage defense to a jab which you can easily shift down when you see the body shot coming and your protected in that moment if they are feinting to setup a cross, lets you come forward and you can even catch them sleeping on a slow jab return and start a counter sequence Gabriel actually has another video of a super high guard style that can synergize with these spike guard techniques, and had a option of hollowing out your midsection to pull away from body hooks kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHJhHiHjdxkhtk Ramon Dekkers SUPER HIGH Guard Is A MUST KNOW

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Yes haha just be normal lmao

[@captainkirk7513]

Hi! I really like your emphasize on "closing the door" - closing the ellbow aaall the way over your nose line. IDK if you interested - but in the Rousey vs. Nunes fight, I think Rhonda tried to do the technique - but got hit hard. IMO because the ellbow wasnt "closed" enough. At 0:35 in the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWnJZ5-giciHbKs it is relatively observable :)

[@tariqs4357]

👍👍👏

[@LikeYea-k5z]

Brilliant and I’m very early 😂

[@mertozgur9006]

i really like your content and you helped me out improve my kickboxing, but at the moment i feel like youre trying to bring a little bit of value just to promote youre course, i would really like to buy but i dont have enough money as a student. Maybe you could content out with more value and less focus on the courses. thank you very much for youre channel

[@peterk2735]

He’s been sharing world class knowledge, tips and drills for free all these years. About time he started making some money from it

[@th8132]

And so what? All the FREE information he's given on his channel, he is allowed to make money. No one cares if YOU don't have money for his courses. Quit your whining and use the free content until you come up with some money.

[@victorem4147]

There is some content between the ads

[@JC-ji1hp]

People gotta eat bro.

[@shinjiikari1021]

Tried the move and got pinned in 30seconds This is a joke

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Skill issue. I did 1-2-block-2 and dropped my sparring partner.
