  • čas pƙidĂĄn 24. 10. 2021
  • Today we are looking at my cobra bag skills after 4 weeks. I'd like to think I have gotten quite a bit better so I give you guys a quick demo of open work on the bag.
    I also share thoughts on whether it's a bag I would recommend, how I'm enjoying it and little dangers you may not have considered.

    Have I noticeably improved since the last cobra bag episode? I sure hope so.
    I also hope this video gets someone excited about working with this new bag. I'm having a blast with it.

      ...oh, and 3:23 into this vid now...and don’t worry...you’re better than that Garcia chump ffs...he couldn’t even make Ngannou move. Nah! Skill? Yeah, power? Mostly no. You could move Ngannou I think mate. Technique alone. 👏
      You look great on that bag tho bruh, honestly. I follow everything you say religiously and take it down to the gym with me every night...with a satisfied grin on my face for what I’m about to unleash. 😆😂đŸ’Ș👍🙏

    What reeeally stands out to me is what a great moderator and host you are! this is all in one take and you never lose you train of thought, you don't stumble over you tounge, you make your points and so on! I really enjoy this style of teaching because it reminds me of the teaching in the gym! The teaching of somebody who knows what he wants to convey without the need of 10+ takes to find the right words!
    Keep it up Gabriel! Greetings from a fan in Germany!

      @GabrielVargaOfficial  Pƙed 2 lety +7

      Thanks so much.
      Doing one take was very hard for me a few months ago.
      But as you said it's kind of like teaching in the gym. If I revert to that thought process instead of thinking "filming mode" where I need to be close to perfect...then I can simply teach and have fun.

    It looks great imho...will clearly elevate your reactions and skillset/footwork to Matrix levels. And it’s fantastic that it hits back hard. Much more realistic and motivation to improve one’s slips/footwork etc. 👏👏👏🙏

    Hi GV. - TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT - MOSAB AMRANI HIGHLIGHT. Checked one out. A career pinnacle fight. Your consummate overall preparation put up the right fight... and brought out the general weakness of all pressure fighters... aggression. Furthermore, your post-fight interview you voiced some doubts about the 'show' you put on as not being a fan favorite. BUNK. Super professional kickboxing performance showcasing so many of the approaches you train your audience through the YT Channel. P.S Expect some tough love from time to time... 'fake' karate is no push over. CHEERS.
