Just getting back into the sports after a long period of being de-trained. I recently turned 44 and it has been since i was 28 that i practised any form of martial arts. Now i still got the techniques in my head, but no longer in my body. My youngest son recently saw an old video of me when i was in my late teens training Muay Thai & taekwondo and now he wants me to teach him. He's autistic and the few clubs where i live unfortunatly are not eager to accept him. Mainly because he's only 8 and he's not so comfortable with crowds and his motor skills are not so well developed. So i decided to get back to the basics myself and see if i can train him, at least until he's comfortable enough and confident enough to train with other people in the club. This video is helping me help my son, so thank you for this, truely.

I like the way you are repeatedly saying that things can be done differently... I really agree. There is no best style. But there is a style that really works for you!

Awesome. I'm glad you agree. Not every gym has that mentality. I think it's important to let your students pick and choose different styles and techniques. I mean, some thing are clearly just wrong. But aside from those there are many variations on doing things right.

@@GabrielVargaOfficial truth. The instructor at the muay Thai gym I went to use to give me shit for kicking karate style instead of muay Thai style (trained karate and tkd for 10 years so it was more natural). I ended up using Thai style for leg kicks but I find my karate style faster for body and head kicks. Also find having the 2 styles of kicking throws people off in sparring as they have different ranges and timing.

Recently quit the gym I was going to. This video is an exemplary example why. You taught me more in a effective manner in 20 minutes, than I have learned my past year there. They are a competitive gym too. Actively competing in tournaments & the such. Unfortunately its the only gym in my area. But everything is so political & divisive, that it gets in the way of learning. Ill be competing in a IKF event January 7th. I have a small home gym that me & a couple buddies train & spar in. Videos like this are worth more than you could ever possibly imagine. Thank you

Want to start kickboxing this summer for my own confidence and protection and simply because I’ve always wanted to do a fighting sport but never had the opportunity. I’m 21 so might be a bit old to start but I’ve got the spirit to so hopefully that’ll make up for my age. This video was very informative thankyou.

You’re the best Gabriel, thanks a million!!!

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with us, Gabriel!

Loved getting back to.the basics. The foundation skills are so important. Thank you Gabriel 🙏

I havnt fought in ages and this was great to get my basics back up, thank you so much!

Nice tips bud. Love the approach offering up variations and different schools of thought. (always pros and cons)

Man, 4 years of gym training compressed in a 20'min video. Amazing! Great video!

Just started kickbox. These are wonderful explanations and demonstrations. Thank you!!!

Thank you I really appreciate how well you explain the little details that make the whole movement preform easier and faster 👍

Amazing, Gabriel! I´ve just started yesterday, and your explanations are so easy. Thanks a lot!

5 min in and I immediately sub. This is such great information and you actually are able to teach it very clearly which is most important. You’ve got a lifelong follower!

as someone who literally just had their first ever kickboxing class yesterday and wanted to get some fundamental information, this was awesome. Thank you!

This was a great watch, starting my first introduction training in a few days. Learnt a lot

These are wonderful explanations and demonstrations. Thank you! GABRIEL

This was is an incredible amount of information, thank you so much! I've been kickboxing for half a year now and there's so much little technique tips in here to improve my fundamentals. I'll start practicing today!

Yes this Is what I needed, thank you!

This is a great, concise video. You covered a lot of ground in minutes while demonstrating very effectively. No harm has come to anyone for going back to the basics. No one has achieved mastery in any field without a solid foundation. Fundamentals are as defined.

You're techniques, teaching and thought process is flawless.

Thank you Gabriel!

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent tips and guidance. Thank you kindly.

Thank you so much for posting this goldmine. Amazingly detailed. Thank you so much.

This is such a valuable guide. Thank you Coach Gabriel Varga!

Great tutorial this is awesome. Using these techniques on the heavy bag.

I really learned from this video, specially about defense, how to counter the roundhouse kick.Thank you sensei. Respect from India 🇮🇳🙏.

Probably one of best vids I've seen. Thanks for taking the time to explain

This is gold. Thank you!

What’s crazy is if you dream of fighting and try the moves you’ll figure this stuff out. Thank you.

this is gem. thanks Gabriel

Great video, thank you!

nice vid Gabe! I appreciate it

Great video. Staying on your toes, keeps your toe, knees and hips aligned allowing to safely pivot driving maximum power thru the hip.

Great explanation. Thank you so much!

This is so good!! Thanks for that! ❤

Start right here! Thank you!

Such an incredible video - thank you, brother!

incredible dude. amazing. thank you.

Really covers the fundamentals well. Thanks!

great channel congratulations and thanks for sharing !

Awsome, thanks for making these videos

Good, i will practice as much as u can, u are the best

This was excellent, a good refresh and learning new stuff as well!

This was awesome. Like others said, 4 years compresed into 29 minutes. Just watched the whole thing. It's not 1 second too long. Pure information. Thank you, Gabriel.

Thanks for uploading this video

This is really good! I've been kickboxing for a couple of years now and this stuff is correcting all my issues that seem to have escaped my Instructor. Thank yo Gabriel two thumbs up!

Hey Gabriel, thank you!

This is really good. Thanks for your time Champ. Keep rocking high.

Thanks for your time and knowledge this has been the best self defense video I have ever seen.

Great tutorial - thanks Gabriel!

This was amazing!

I cannot stop watching this channel. You are a great teacher. I would like to see more videos with drills to do with a partner like the one you did with your Brother. I am practicing them every week and I am better on seeing strikes coming at me and counter. Something that I am find to be more challenging is when my partner throws compos with low kick high kick and then spinning kick. I find it challenging to block it. So I must be quick and move away.

amazing video! I've learned alot from this thank you!!

I love this video. Thanks!

I started kickboxing and had my first class about 7 hours ago, and it felt SO GOOD! I'm excited to continue my training outside the gym to strengthen my skills.
