Lyoto and Anderson’s front kick KO’s are amazing.

Love the front kick, very useful and applicable either for combat sports or self-defense scenarios, as long as it is well-timed and well-placed.

The front kick is massively underrated

@shanebodnar9861 6 ай бұрын

@@andredubbs4854 I think it’s bc it’s not as damaging as a round kick. The body rotation into a round kick creates a lot of power in addition to the shin being a much stronger bone than the foot.

@app369 3 жыл бұрын

I don't wash my feet for 3 months and then I use the push one to the mouth. Jokes aside I love the push to the body and the snap to the face. I feel like the push one makes too much momentum forward and in MMA that can get you taken down easier. Lastly, I think they suppprt eachother as far as strength and pop go. Happy training guys

Which style of front kick to head level do you prefer??? Upwards snap or straight through push?

@ives3572 3 жыл бұрын

Any of the two, as long as I time and land it perfectly

@mykulpierce 3 жыл бұрын

I think both are great! If you use both than the opponent has to guess what you are going to throw. Especially if you mix up a push kick to body or the "pankration" styled kick which is an attack with the heel to abdomen (this is Sparta!!!!).

Hey Gabriel, after training or sparring I always seem to tweak my lower back on either side. You mentioned you had to deal with back problems before; it’d be awesome if you could make a video on lower back strengthening and stretches for injury prevention and recovery. Thanks!

I know this is really not related to kickboxing, but how do you break or release from a clinch effectively? I’m trying to do that but usually I get punished when doing so.

@robertscott6460 3 жыл бұрын

Gabe question! So with the Anderson front kick looks like you could easily break your toes under the chin what’s your opinion on throwing with the heel?

@GabrielVargaOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not a fan of striking with the heal on front kick. Just really work pulling your toes back. It's a motion that can be almost perfected after some practice. I've never jammed my toes even when throwing a Silva style front kick on pads.

How do you feel about throwing it from a jump (i. e. raising one knee as if to kick, then using that movement to leap up and kick with the other leg)?

@GabrielVargaOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

A lovely scissor kick. That's what I call that one. It's not my personal favourite but many others use it effectively so if you're having success definitely keep using it.
