What do you guys think? Is this intensity of sparring a good idea? Join My BRAND NEW Membership Community & Save 55% This Week vargacombat.com/academy

I think this typa sparring breeds better fighters to deal with what its like to actually be in the ring but its worse for longevity and im sure theres some people who come here and get injuries so they can never start their fighting carreer. but all these guys look skilled though and they're sparring hard but have good defense and decent control

Yesterday, I had my 2nd smoker in kickboxing. I did terrible on the first one as I gased out in a first round. I forgot every technique I knew, and I broke under pressure. I thought my training for 5 months went to waste. 2 months later, I had another smoker. I came upon your channel 10 days before my smoker fight. I took advice about pressure, defense, combinations, and training methods. I outskilled my opponent, who had 2 years more experience than me. This channel really is a hidden gem. Im definitely going to win my first amateur fight, thanks to you. Keep up the work!

@aquaticstripper 29 дней назад

I liked how you mentioned head impact being different for others. A lot of beginners and intermediates don't realize the pro fighters they see sparring heavy have good enough defense to hardly ever get fully rocked. Heavy sparring before knowing how to move with punches, block, slip, and parry is beyond reckless.

@pyroseed13 28 дней назад

I sort of had the same reaction watching this sparring. Maybe some of the guys were going too hard but a lot of the guys were slipping or rolling with the punches really well.

@prvtthd401 28 дней назад

They can afford to spar this intense because they are skilled and experienced. They makes sure to keep their chins tucked and recognize the signs of when someone took damage like snapping heads and weak knees.

@Docinaplane 29 дней назад

When you are young, you think you are bullet-proof. I was probably lucky to have started sparring in the blood and guts era because we didn't wear any protective equipment and fought bare handed so if we went this hard too often the injuries would have slowed us down.

@ZENIGMATV 29 дней назад

@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE 29 дней назад

Honestly, I agree. If you’re training to actually compete and fight then you have to do hard sparing. Not every week, not even every month. But definitely in the middle of fight camp. And if you don’t have fights for a whole year then you need to hard spar 2-5 times a year to really test your stamina, skill, and evaluate your game. So many people on YT crying about hard sparring. It’s mainly when it seems like one person is bullying an inexperienced fighter, which I never think that’s ok. On the flip side, 2 skilled individuals, with similar skill, “respectfully” hard sparring… is necessary if you plan to compete, or are already a competitor.

@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE 29 дней назад

At our Muay Thai camp here in Las Vegas (OKG)… we do “technical” sparring (touch spar) twice a week. Everyone should be touch sparring, consistently. And only hard spar for the month before a fight. We stop hard sparring 1 week before the actual fight when our weight cut is getting pretty steep and then we’re mainly running drills and conditioning to keep stamina up for the fight. I think our gym has a good approach to sparring and fight preparation. IMO🤝

@napatt.7943 29 дней назад

isnt hard sparring during fight camp more risky? Cuts and concussion and stuff

@Rotaks 29 дней назад

@@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE "We stop hard sparring 1 week before the actual fight" And what if somebody knocks you out 1 week before the actual fight? According to "medical rules", after a knockout fighter is not allowed to fight for some period of time (longer than a week)?

@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE 29 дней назад

@@Rotaks If a major injury occurs then that individual wouldn’t fight. Hard sparring doesn’t mean “kill each other”. It means throw strikes with intent. We’re all teammates in our camp, so we’re not trying to kill each other, we’re trying to “ready ourselves” for competition. While wearing full pads (headgear, shin, knee, and elbow). It’s pretty hard to knock somebody out with full headgear on honestly. When I was doing my amateur career, I mainly KO’d people from body shots or the technical KO from the referee stepping in because opponent wasn’t protecting themselves anymore. But a “head KO” like a head kick or punch… pretty rare to see those types of knockouts in full head gear and amateur fighters. But yeah, god forbid somebody gets really injured… then that individual does NOT fight and heals. You have to remember that hard sparring “should” still occur with respect, equal skill level, and relatively similar weight between opponents (teammates). We want to help each other get ready for battle… not stroke our ego’s and injur ourselves right before a fight. That’s not how this goes (in our camp at least). #respect

@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE 29 дней назад

@@napatt.7943 Check my earlier response to the other guy asking about concussions. But yes, if a concussion or major injury occurs… that individual no longer takes the actual fight and heals up. Yeah, you’re more likely to have “some” damage in hard sparring, but like my previous comment… if you hard sparring with respect, same skill level, same weight, and full pads… it’s not like what you’re thinking. We’re not trying to kill each other, we’re just throwing out strikes with more intent and higher percentage of strength. Still with complete respect and care for our teammates. Think of hard sparring as: getting the body used to harder strikes. Rather than your body getting shocked in the ring 🤯 Where REAL injuries mainly occur. But, if you’re at a douche bag gym with a bunch of ego maniacs… do NOT hard spar and find another camp to train at. 👍

Honestly we do these types of sparring sessions a lot at the gym I train at Gabriel. I find it very beneficial as well but you have to be careful when doing so that you have the basics and that you are somewhat skilled as well. But the guys in Uzbekistan are pretty tough and skilled I must say! 🥊

@averagecasual4801 29 дней назад

Gabriel, do you have any idea on how to stop gassing out when on the backfoot. This guy was just jabbing me and walking forward, i got way gassed for some reason and i didn't even throw that much counters. Anything that can help?

@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE 29 дней назад

@@averagecasual4801 Try to relax yourself a bit. I notice that if I’m tense (rightfully so because someone is approaching me trying to hit me!) I get gassed out earlier. The mental game is just as exhausting as the physical. Second tip: use that damn front teep kick to keep your opponent from continuing to press forward on you. (Or your own front jab). Third tip: Clinch that mofo and learn some good clinch knees and sweeps. That’s stops an opponent from pressing forward (in most cases). The more you learn to control your opponents… the more you can control the entire tempo of the fight (or sparring). Think of it as an “aggressive dance” and you want to be the one on control, not the one being controlled. You want your “partner” to slow down, then make a move to slow the flow. You want your ”partner” gas out, let them throw, have good counters, have a good guard, good evasion, and when they gas… press forward for the win. A lot of people think fighting is an aggressive and archaic concept. When in reality… It’s a game of chess and technical “dance”. Our faces and bodies just happened to be the targets in the meantime haha. Make your face and body… harder to get to. 🙏

And on average, the Russians from the ‘Stans’ and Ukrainians tend to go the hardest, and they don’t do it out of malicious intent, that just seems to be how they are and how they train Even in harder sparring I tend to hit lighter to the head, and on 2 different occasions my sparring partners from there noticed, stopped the spar and told me hit them harder 🤣

Unless you train for it, you're always going to gas out faster on the back foot. We are much more efficient at going forward. Muhammad Ali among others ran backwards for this reason.
