Im glad you made this video. Im training in MMA right now, and I have a boxing background. Slipping was one of my strengths being a shorter fighter. I think slipping is sometimes ignored by others because they dont want to get kicked or knee'd in the head, but then their head is still open for punches.

@JoshD0W Год назад

head movement is especially important in mma due to the 4 oz gloves reducing blocking functionality. you cant just shell up and survive with 4oz MMA gloves the way you can with 8 oz boxing gloves

@GogettaJahan22 Год назад

I’m in your exact same situation bro I’m glad he made this video for us, bcuz then we can work on these things the right way to translate into MMA.

@imbatman208 Год назад

Wow. I was just coming back from a sparring session where I got kicked in the head after a slip, and as soon as I look at your channel, you have a video of how to fix that. Really appreciate it.

@clapdrix72 Год назад

It only takes once to learn that lesson

@GabrielVargaOfficial Год назад

I love talking about slipping because so many people watch boxing tutorials to learn slipping. But they forget there's a difference once kicks are added. Stay safe when moving that head during muay thai, kickboxing or MMA.

@DarkSolstice Год назад

When you do your roll are you shifting the position of your feet as well or just moving your hips and knees? When I roll of feels natural to let my feet rotate a bit especially if I'm going to follow up with a counter punch off the roll. Thanks!

@remyhavoc4463 Год назад

@Bam OuttaDaBayou I have the same thoughts I see a lot of guys do it and some even day dropping your hands is more energy sufficient and can ofcourse help with vision This may also help long/mid range volume fighters since you hands can't stick to your face forever Though that's mostly boxing though 😂

Easily the most overlooked skill in Kickboxing. Thanks Gabe.

@kudoista Год назад

Yes! This is exactly how I have been slipping for years for all the same reasons. It's very satisfying to see someone of your experience has come to the same conclusions on how to adjust slipping techs to suit sports with kicks. A lot of Muay Thai fighters avoid slipping altogether but I have found it to be an essential skill. Even more so in mma because of the smaller gloves.

I fight just like Dominick Cruz and I do Karate. You just have to have good reflexes and read your opponent. Still learning tho.

@rylewmma553 Год назад

Donald Cerrone was the master of forcing the slip off the right to set up right leg head kick. He seemed to land very solid with shin as well.

@jeffparsons2190 Год назад

Loved it! You said that was the basics of kick slipping, hopefully you'll have a next level follow up in the future

@justinfreeman4614 Год назад

One of my more mild injuries was from tilting my chin up while pulling back in sparring. My friend's cross still came in with a little follow through STRAIGHT into the windpipe! I crackd my trachea and it hurt to swallow for 2 weeks. It healed up - but now there's a line down my throat where the trachea is misshapen that I can feel if I get a sore throat.

Thank you so much for your instructional video it is a great help! There are always things I can learn after watching your videos!

@Quick-- Год назад

It was my first or second light sparring session and I slipped right into a head kick (luckily it was light sparring)...learned really fast to keep that hand up on the side I'm slipping to lol

@wooden2621 Год назад

It took me a month of getting kicked in the head while sparring to make sure my hand was up properly while slipping straight punches. I was also making the mistake of relying too much on slipping and often times that would lead to me overextending on my head position, or my partner would simply set up a counter for when I slipped. Once I started developing my other methods of defense and mixing them together I stopped getting kicked in the head. Great video champ, thank you.

@simongauvin375 Год назад

Best video tutorial on head movement! I come from a kyokushin background and have much trouble in kickboxing sparring because we don't train punches to the head. I simply thought :"keep your hands up at all times" but as you mentioned I still seemed to get hit a lot. Now I understand why! Seems obvious after hearing you, but apparently it wasn't for me. Anyway, thanks Gabriel, I can't wait to train this and try it out!

@blacksabbath2559 Год назад

Regarding head movments i watched carefully Buakaw ones and i try to copy them. His movments are shorts and effective with very little rotation when a hook comes. I often kicked people in the head with my lead leg (left one) when people slip on their right to avoid my jab. Greeting from french polynesia and thanks for your vids

@dontblink3042 Год назад

I was there for the Cruz head kick ko of Cruz it was crazy. Your high Dutch guard seems to work very well. My muay thai coach teaches us to have our hands at our chin but the former mma professional that I spar always tells me to put my hands up higher like your guard.

@tytsam72 Год назад

Yup. I feel hands at chin might still result in a rocking shot, As The hands are connected to the weak spot & the energy is transferred at that concentrated spot. As opposed to Keeping hands higher on the cheekbones or near temple Which Will transfer the energy in a more spread out way And Not just focused in the weak spot. As the rounds go by this will help in having a better guard defense = chin health.

@TheRandomizedHuman Год назад

Man I have been asking myself about head movement in mma. Seen fighters bend down and roll and get hit. Thanks a lot!

@grzegorzszopinski7111 Год назад

@Aidar77 Год назад

Thanks for the upload! Great material as always. I have noticed that your stance is pretty square. Is that your usual stance, or are you entering it for exchanges?Do you use blade stance when the distance is big? I have noticed that head movement is pretty different when I am using a bladed stance.

Gotta train those for a while... looks simple but I know its not... Also, is slipping back diagonally a good thing to do or I misunderstood the concept?

@ajmjl9102 Год назад

I’m a karateka who isn’t used to so many low kicks and I feel like I’m worried about it so much that I don’t use my footwork as often could you give any pointers on footwork with the threat of low kicks?

@windchimesilo9623 Год назад

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can give me a training schedule. Like how many days of the week I should be training. I meet with my instructor next week and I've been training every other day. My shins are conditioned for the most part. So far just heavy bag and mirror work with offense defense movement, footwork, head movement etc would be greatly appreciated. Muay Thai btw
