3 EASY Ways To Find/Create Openings In Your Opponent 

What is your favourite way to get attacks landing? I was my few other ways but they are more advanced. Maybe a follow up episode is in order?

1:58 1. By utilising fakes and gathering data on your opponent 3:22 2. (Intermediate level advice) Go defensive and counter when opponent makes offensive errors 4:53 3. Throw short combos or single shots to gather data to be able to throw purposeful shots which will land I wanted to thank you, Gabriel! I'm a beginner boxer but your knowledge about defense and gathering data and countering and fighting taller opponents has helped me advance so much in sparring sessions Bless you for sharing all the knowledge you've amassed through the years with all of us!

Something I haven't tried for myself yet (planning to test it in sparring today 😅) but was advised from someone I trust: have at least 2 combos that start with the same first 2 moves but switch where you're attacking later on (like double jab>body cross>lead low kick and double jab>rear overhand>body hook>low kick or jab>cross>low kick and jab>cross>head kick). Since the human mind tends to pick up anything happening at least 3 times as an infinite pattern, it can trick people into autopiloting their defensive responses if you do one of them two or three times and then switch to the other.

2:00 in the conversation starts you're welcome!

Love this. I did fake punches in sparring to create openings and it was so satisfying landing the actual punches

Being relatively new Muay Thai, my boxing skills are really basic. I train in Thailand but the boxing skills are not taught so well due to the language barrier and I can’t ask too many technical questions as they can’t understand much, however your information is so so helpful. Thank you.

Your channel has been very helpful now that im back to training every week

Thanks! Would love a follow up episode as well!

Yeah man. Another great video. Thank you

Will try it tomorrow :) great videos!

Very nice tips, thank you.

just found ur channel and i love it dude

Great content man! Btw, how conscious are you about these decisions in the heat of a fight?

This is really good, thanks.

Lol good luck with the rebovations coach gabe! If i may offer some counter advice please keep an eye on your contractor and make sure you're visible to the workers!

Zinc and magnesium are great for sleep!

I just bought Bio optimizer. I hope this truly helps my sleep. On nights after training I cannot sleep for some reason. So here's to hoping for good nights of rest 🙏🏽

I have another fight coming in December champ, and I’m 100% getting the 3 tubs of Magnesium soon. So, they better work! ✌️😄 PS. First? 🤔😆🙏

Hello Gabriel! I have a question. How can I beat guy with good in-and-out movement?

No worries about us gabriel. Keep your house in order. We got lots of free stuff already from you to work on.

Hey Gabriel Varga I have first pro fight next week do you still doing zoom private? Thank you in advance it would be so much help

What if I make some mistakes to invite an attack?

👍

🤜🤛

First af ❤️

It seems like if two people have their guard up, and both are well guarded, anyone who goes on the offensive is just opening themselves up to a counter. Why ever attack a guarded opponent in a match?

So essentially feint, counter and setup shots. Don’t need this much time to explain.

Great video Gabriel Varga. I also find that it takes a real effort, even after all the years Ive been training, to keep your eyes trained on your opponents face/head(I focus on their mouth area or nose if I feel like theres even the slightest chance I can be affected by mind games from my opponent - in sparring or fighting) while you are engaged, and esp within punching range of each other, and to keep completely calm even while punches(and kicks and so on) are being thrown at your face full force. I do it by putting most of my effort into focusing on regulating my breathing through my nose, exhaling through the mouth. Cardio helps TREMENDOUSLY in this scenario too, and similar ones. Its ALWAYS a good idea to have MORE cardio more stamina no longer how much you have right now, even if you're a professional fighter(and I myself am an amateur..I'd be called a club fighter probably, in Muay thai and in kickboxing, I train muay thai but compete in both of those). it took me AWHILE to be able to build up the confidence to be able to stand toe to toe with ANYONE out there, no matter how trained they are, and exchange with them in punching range. My previous coach taught me a bunch about that; he was also the best fighter Ive ever fought even to this day, a former pro fighter himself. My current coach doesn't really understand why I rely on forearm blocks so much; its so I can keep stable and remain in position while STILL deflecting the shots and NOT taking damage, as long as you tighten up properly esp the shoulders and forearms, and angle it properly, this is the BEST type of defense in my opinion; even without gloves, though without gloves it needs to be modified SLIGHTLY - more of a long guard type of defense using much more of the "wing guard"(where you grab the back of your head with your hand and cover one side of your head, and your face also, with your bunched up forearm and elbow) and less of the regular tight high guard, nonetheless the defensive style is the same. My current coach wants me to parry more and to use other types of defense but its just not for me, it doesn't suit my style and I don't trust my reflexes to be able to consistently defend in that way esp once I get tired. I fight with this dutch style, this dutch guard, in a similar fashion that YOU do Gabriel varga, that Joseph valtellini does, that Nicky Holzkien does, and many more like rico verhooven and others. I'm honestly kinda sick of my coach just not accepting that this is my style despite me having MANY conversations with him about it; he INSISTS that a strong enough punch will break through my guard no matter what, no matter how, for some reason but it NEVER HAS neither in sparring nor in real fights Ive had nor in competition, because I KNOW what Im doing Ive been doing this shit for near a decade after all and I keep doing it and honing it. Heh sometimes you just gotta vent I suppose. I already know how to parry and use the kind of head movement he wants to push on me. I just DONT USE IT out of choice because it doesn't fit my style and I can't rely on it fully the way I can on blocks - even in street fights. NOBODY is gonna "split your guard" if you properly tighten up when defending, tighten the shoulders forearms and also throw a little bit of a forward pushing motion INTO the incoming punch(or kick) so that its deflected or stopped even more, with more of the power taken out of it than a normal block, though I never move my hands far from my head EVER. Sparring my old coach taught me the folly of THAT. Standing in front of someone and exchanging boxing and lowkicks is what my style excels at, esp because my best moves are hooks and lowkicks(and jabs I suppose, though I throw more mike tyson style jabs rather than sideways stance long range jabs, at least normally). For my style you HAVE TO look at your opponent square in the face at all times though and HAVE to keep calm in the face of fire. Some styles dont require it to the extent that the dutch style does. Cause if you mess up you will get hit.
