- I'm not going to lie. I'm feeling pretty rusty after only 4 sparring sessions since my last fight in June. But that's okay because the first couple weeks of training camp is specifically to get rid of that rusty feeling. I'm this session I'm sparring with local Victoria athlete Suraj who is an amateur kickboxing world champion. We've been sparring together for at least 3-4 years now.

You gotta look out for guys with two different shin guards... that's usually a bad dude.
Haha 👍👍👍
...but it can also mean they're too cheap to buy a new matching set (my case😀)
In my experience, avoid the dude in the pink shorts.
You are a silly goose. Also, revisit the idea of using leg kicks in a street fight! It worked well for me after a lunatic here in San Francisco attacked me on a tennis court.
@@ivanhannel Same here but in my case it was a body kick(roundhouse) that stunned him (visibly shaken and unable to move after eating my kick) followed by a right hook to the side of his head that knocked him out.
leg kicks are extremely effective in street fights. A trained guys shin against an untrained "tough guys" unconditioned thigh or side of his body? it is DEVASTATING. That said I wouldn't try head kicks in street fights. I'd be too afraid of slipping or it being caught even by an untrained thug loser, the types that start street fights.
@@chucknorris202 Wow, what a great outcome for you! The week prior to my incident, I was having a CT scan for a hernia, so I was in not the best shape for an impromptu street fight, ha. Please don't say your fight was here in San Francisco, too! This place is nuts.
I'd love to see my sparring partner Suraj fighting in the big promotions. Hopefully I'll be able to get him in Karate Combat.
Hi,I m your subscriber,and I love your content.Can your explicit about calf kicks?Maybe calf kicks is something dangerous.Thanks
Or Glory or One maybe
How do you feel about people (say, Ramsey Dewey) who say that you should never be sparring in big gloves if you're doing MMA (or by proxy, fingerless-glove kickboxing), because the defenses are different and you need to recreate the in-fight conditions as much as possible?
@@tophernolastname2378 I just asked a similar question before I read your comment. I think Gabriel, in just starting camp, will work that in soon enough. I'm not sure he should actually release such footage, if so.
@@ivanhannel I'm asking generally though. It seems like it makes sense to only spar in MMA gloves... but I also don't see how mostly sparring in big gloves & sometimes using small gloves doesn't do the same thing. I'm divided, and the obvious answer "it depends on the person" has a lot of holes in its logic.
The fact you would admit, as a world-class seasoned pro, that you have to get used to getting hit again in camp is just very honest and refreshing.
Thank you so much for the kind words about our spot! We feel blessed to have been a part of your journey over the years. 🙏
This is an ideal pace. Love seeing both sparring partners get their work done. Nice flowing pace.
I love watching and listening to sparring footage like this
MMAshredded used to do this a lot and I'm glad you are doing it too
I listen or watch during my warm ups or stretches before I train
I like that you didn't sugar coat some of the emotions and feelings when it comes to sparring and camp training, makes it a lot more relatable and somewhat a relief for either currently training or aspiring martial artists that even the pros are human.
Love your videos! Excited to watch you compete again and thanks!
It’s nice too see relaxed focused sparing, I need to get back in the gym, it’s been too long, family and all 🙏🏾
Thanks for all the videos! Your work ethic is incredible and inspirational as hell.
Nice work! Loved the different combinations by both of you.
Surely more videos like this would be nice! I love watching the controlled pace and nice crisp techniques!
Keep the sparring coming, this was awesome 👌 👏 👍
Please do more videos like this! You have a soothing aura for a pro fighter. More power to the channel!🤙
Very controlled and technical! Beautiful
Totally hyped for the next fight! Suraj is a good sparring partner. Would be cool to see him fight, he looks like a great candidate for KC or Glory.
You provide valuable insight in your videos and that's awesome! I go through the same exact thing when I haven't been sparring for long periods of time. The blinking and not being able to throw punch combinations in fear of counters is 100% accurate, at least for me lol
love the honesty about the eyes and stuff
I'd love to see more sparring footage. I love watching controlled and technical sparring! thanks for the vid
You’re so cerebral about your training and I love that you’re athletic and gifted enough for ur smart training to pay off dunno if this makes sense but yeah yours vids are great tyvm for showing you don’t have to go balls to the wall every session
Thanks for posting this, I’ll definitely use this to train my own sparring! Appreciate the content Gabriel 👊
Love the content. Love all of this. Sparring, drilling, clinching - yes please. It's very helpful out here for us to see what it looks like to train at this level. What does really good drilling look like? I think I'd like to see what that looks like!
This was very cool to see. Appreciate you sharing it 🙂
I'm pretty new to sparring (well, new to training martial arts in general 😅), so I tend to go _very_ light in terms of power and try to stop all my strikes just at contact (or just before, for knees and elbows) because I don't trust myself to pull back on reaction when something's going to land flush. Nothing to prove by hurting a training partner, and there's always time to actually throw some weight around in padwork 😁
Very informative as always, one of the most useful combat channels on youtube, quality.
Great advice, thanks champ.
A really nice pace. Great to see.
Love the video! Thanks!
Thank you for your content, I did taekwondo when I was younger and your videos will help me in my new kickboxing journey.
Great sparring to watch, can’t wait for your fight
Great to watch a real professional training, It’s obvious that the learning curve is actually steeper With that type of sparring.
keep the sparring footage coming drills are cool as well
Watched this after sparring tonight and it was a nice reminder that even pros eat some shots. Would love to see more sparring videos!
Excelent ! VERY SMART CHAMPION VARGA 🤙🥊
Definitely more sparring with this guy. Y’all flow great together! His kicks are nasty!!!!!
i love this sparring. please more sparring
would love to see more sparring this is great just watching ... helps me reflect on my own training
Love the raw sparring rounds
This is great content. More like this please 🙏
This was dope to see n study for sure
Yes more sparring footage. Also your tactical adaptations to fighting karateka eg foot sweeps, longer range etc
I’d like videos of your whole process in training camp. I think it’d be a great series but right now I’m looking for more drills, second would be clinching
Would definitely like to see a lot more sparring vids
Great video
Yes please keep uploading sparring videos.
Would love to see more sparring footage with comments and Clinch
:)
Man it's so comfortable having sparring partners who know the right pace.
Loved it. Put more sparring video so the people can understand the difference between sparring and fighting.
Great to see sparing without cut !
you combinations that end up in a liver punch are really good
Oh man! Love seeing my gym in your vids, shout out to the gang at MA Unlimited :)
Now that’s great sparring
Best Muay Thai channel on here. Thanks for the eyesight tip.
My coach always talks about having your elbows glued to your body at all times. I'd love a video where Gabriel talks about his guard more.
These are nice 👌
A pleasure to watch! May be a bit more in depth about technic and mouvement in the voice could be nice. Again it's really nice and thanks to share that with us.
Love the honesty and no ego alpha commentary
They mix and match shin guards tho! 🔥🔥
Gabriel! I had no Clue your from the island, though I recognized the environment from your outdoor videos. I’m over in Vancouver. thanks for all the helpful tips you have majorly improved my Muay Thai 🙏🏼
Very happy to hear that.
Yes. Very close to Vancouver. I love the west coast of Canada 👍
@@GabrielVargaOfficial It’s beautiful that’s for sure ! Good luck with your camp 🤛🏼
Excellent footage and wisdom from you throughout.
You say looking for sparring partners? I'm coming up from NS !!! I wish! Lol
Suraj really flows his movements nicely together, saw some great combo's from him. Gabriel is not as flowy YET, and obviously getting back into the groove, his high fight IQ is obviously still there though and i'm sure we will see him getting back stringing combo's together before long. I also appreciatie Gabriels humbleness of sharing video this early into the camp.
Good stuff
Train smarter, not harder. Love stuff like this and training like this, you won't just cut your lifespan and instead you have an amazing sport that you can continue to do and a lifetime obsession. It's just small things, preventing unnecessary injuries cuz injuries are dime a dozen just moving around the way you do in martial arts.
Good for you man, biggest regret of my life not getting into any martial art
1:45 that whole exchange was beautiful. He had to get you back for that body shot
Holy rhythm step
I'd literally watch this every day while I stretch/shadow box/eat/assemble IKEA furniture.
I love that sparring
If i had sparring partners like that id spar2-3 times a week. I just want to do sparring to get my timing on point. And the best is light to the head with speed with a little harder body contact. Hard to find good partners w no ego in regular round robin sparring in gyms
Hello gabriel love your videos but i dont think ive ever heard of rainbow kicks and cant seem to find them in youtube is there another name they go by?
Hey Gabriel, friendly suggestion watch out for that rhythm step that you sometimes do.
Coach Barry Robinson has a lot of content about it.
Sounds reasonable 👍
nice grabs
37?! You look like you're in your 20s. Amazing
Also watching you spar is just beautiful
Do you ever train in Toronto?? Thanks for great content 🙏
Vraiment chouette !
Do you still do light/technique work between camps or just don't strike completely ?
I'm 50 and when started teaching years ago got into the same rut to much teaching not enough training . became really enlightening couldn't stop binking for first 2 weeks as well catching the toes to elbows with teaping in sparring which was rare etc taught me a valuable lesson training conditioning n sparring ,works wonders before teaching classes 👊2 a day well over 5 days keeps the doctor away metaphorically 👍
How long of a break do you take between rounds?
Haha sureal Suraj used to be one of the instructors at the kiddy karate classes I did years ago. I remember watching a video of one of his fights where he said he wanted to become a police officer now.
How often do you spar? me and my team love your channel
looks controlled and got a good partner do u prefer no ring or is it cause the fight is open ring
MMA Sherred and Gabriel Varga Would be a great sparring to see
Been wondering, why the two different shin pads?
One from each pair is broken 😜
@@GabrielVargaOfficial lol Hayabusa won't send you a pair smh
I wish I could spar with you I could learn quite a bit
Is it okay to train at two different kickboxing gyms or maybe cross training another martial at another gym? What are your thoughts about this?
He did a video a couple of months back encouraging training at different gyms to get more variety of experience (titled "Something Your Gym WON'T Tell You About Improving") 🙂
Why do you wear a different shin guard on each shin?
Are you using Hayabusa boxing gloves there? How are they? How would compare them to other brands you've used?
Your high guard is 👌, I wanna learn to keep my hand up that tight to the head at all time.
When shadow sparring, hitting the speed bag or light sparring, talk your way through it out loud, sounds weird but saying “gaurd” every 2 seconds helps with your gaurd, replacing that word or adding words in like “fast” or “tight” when throwing punches, or “move” every time etc for whatever you wanna work on the quality of training is way higher. This is how people train dogs
Looking Sharp. Could you do What makes Don "The Dragon" Wilson so good?
Thank u for being honest I thought I'm the only one who blink during sparring
Beautiful stuff, anyone i train with i always try to get the same ideology into their head. I wonder if you could do a video about like how to mix your styles or test stuff during the fight. Like if you watched footage of an opponent and he was an aggressive guy; now all of a sudden he's counter fighting, or trying to clinch and vice versa. The best representation iin the muay thai world for this is Saenchai haha
Gabriel, when will you spar with smaller gloves, and will you release that? To what extent will you incorporate a bit more circular movement, because those smaller gloves limit blocking?
Hmmm. Not sure if I'll put that footage out.
I'll decide later.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial I suggest not.
I’ve got to ask, why the different shin guards?
You have the Hayabusa t3 gloves on right? How are they? Do you recommend them for Muay Thai and Kickboxing? I think about getting them in 12oz for partner drills, pads and bag. For sparring I use yokkao 16oz
Fairtex F-1 is solid too. Just sayin
@@whoknows8223 bought Fairtex glory edition 2
Why spar in next to a mirror though? What about sparring in the ring instead? I see it’s controlled however I think sparring in the ring should be the protocol.
Why do you wear 2 different shin pads?
Drilling Clinch Sparring are all good.
More sparring maybe with breakdowns too
your opponent has very nice combos to. It suck starting in anything in life most of the time
I have so much fight footage out there that there's nothing new to learn.
What I won't share is drilling I'm utilizing for my opponents.
That will always stay a secret. Right now I'm just moving with no fight gameplan in place.
I missed the news who are you fighting?
Wow your going to use scissor kicks in your coming fights 😎
