    Regarding the keeping chin tucked tip, I recommend doing the tennis ball under chin when doing heavy bag work and shadow boxing. In my opinion, you're never too good to stop doing that. When you're throwing super heavy shots on the bag, that ball under chin will ingrain the habit of keeping your chin tucked whenever you throw heavy, and whenever you're aggressive. The ball will keep you honest. When you throw a power body hook and the ball falls out, it's an indication that it was an opening where you're going to be countered. Be like Petr Yan.

    1:41 - Thinking of the body as a whole and not just arm punching: push from the foot, turn hip and rotate shoulder "everything moves linked together"
    3:06 - What is the opposite hand doing as your push the punching shoulder forward? pull the opposite hand back to protect head and increase force
    4:59 - Tuck your chin, especially when punching in close, look through eyebrows - good example is Rodtang or pro-boxers.

    The advice of pulling the non-punching arm back is so precious! I actually saw it in one of the videos Jared from Sacred Boxing did with Icy Mike I think, except that they were talking about pulling with the entire side of your back, that's opposite to your punching hand. Which I think conceptually works better, 'cause if we put our focus on pulling the hand back, we might overdo it, even unconsciously, leaving ourselves open. Focusing on your back lets your guard stay tight and arguably can let you generate more power. I need to constantly remind myself to do it and I have to really concentrate on that "backwork" during my bagwork and I still catch myself forgeting to do it all the time, but it really does make a difference

    Hey Gabriel just want to say thanks man! I’m 4 years into training mma (mostly Muay Thai) I am 30 years old. I’ve also been coaching a lot of classes at the gym over the last two years. My fourth fight is this March 11th. You’re videos help keep me grounded and of course I learn valuable lessons from you. I was a hands down guy before but you helped me really keep those hands up. I tell my training partners in the gym when we are sparring that, ‘I’m doing the Gabriel Varga” whenever I use high gaurd 😊 haha I’ve watched my fights back and hands up is something I really need to work on. It’s so simple and basic but it’s also essential.

    Hey gabriel! Your insight is always clear and helpful. Regarding the pull back of the opposite arm; I try and stay aware of my lats and their activation in my punches! Its not second nature yet- something i practice on the bag- but it definitely helps drive that push/pull and add even more power in the punch. Where can we send sparing or fight video for insight? Thanks again !

    @andersjohansson6458 Před rokem

    Excellent, thank you!
    Trying to add the dutch guard to my Karate-based style, I have one question/concern: I usually throw the punch from shoulder-height, and when I have to throw it from head-height (due to the guard) I feel I'm losing power. How do you reconcile that? To drop it to shoulder-height first would be telegraphing, so that doesn't sound like a solution either...
    BTW: Thanks for pointing out what very few seem to have understood about the "hikite", the pulling back of the hand to the side in Karate (which has always been intended as a way to practice). I just like to add that all the great Senseis that I've had, have pointed out the importance of the dynamic principles you mention, ie not being rigid but "punching long".

    • @penttikoivuniemi2146
      @penttikoivuniemi2146 Před rokem

      Take this with a grain of salt, punching and kicking isn't really my specialty, but:
      You do always lose a bit of power because the hands, especially the rear hand, aren't in as optimal a position for punching in the Dutch guard as they are in the usual karate stance or the "traditional" boxing stance, and you stand more squared and therefore can't get as much rotation into your body, the guard is optimized for protecting the head. The left hook becomes a bit stronger though.
      To minimize that loss of power, I would recommend ensuring your elbows don't flare out ("chicken wing") when you are in your stance. Your forearms should be in front of your shoulders and rather inside the shoulder width than outside of it, packed tightly and ready to fly forward.
