This one caught my attention, I’m currently training this out of my system. I didn’t even know I was doing it until my coach pointed it out!! Thanks big G!
There are more safe guards for beginners even. You can have the Muay Thai guar where your palms are facing out, really snug with your shoulder and elbows in and extend your forearms down the middle a bit for straight shots and outwards for circular shots. You can also bend on your waist, have your shoulders in front and your backhand across. Kinda like Joe Louis. Kinda hard to explain just by writing. But they are not that hard like a cross guard or Philly Shell.
got thrown in to a hard sparing session the other day (been doing muay thai for 2 months now) and the trainer was off ill so one of the lads did it. He has been doing it for like 3/4 years and jesus crist the high guard saved me so much he was peppering me like mad non stop and while i was blocking head he was landing big liver kicks bloody painfull. Im not happy sparing him again because i understand his logic in a real fight no one is going easy on ya but when ya still trying to get a solid foundation to build on as your talking about its hard to see things comming. Im loving seeing your content with some of the explanations etc and its helping. The only thing id like to see added would be defence when in high guard being hit how can you build on seeing the kicks incomming?
Offense skills will SKYROCKET in sparring when you have confidence in PROPER defense.
Can't make any mistakes with defense if I don't have any defense.
Amazing to see someone so proficient in something and yet so humble 💯
A high, Dutch guard completely changed my game once i got comfortable taking a few shots on my gloves before intercepting punches

Thx for all ur insights & wisdom🙏🙏🙏
Excellent tips 💯
I've been teaching this for years, glad to see it validated by a top professional fighter that it's the right approach.
like your profie picture.
I’m actually more interested in defense than offense
Ain’t gotta call me out like that in the intro 😂

That was a real dick move of him if you’ve only been training for two months.
@@indiecrust thanks at least its not me just thinking it then XD
@@locien182Yeah, definitely a dick move. Nobody should be doing that in training if you only have two months of experience
Great video. Can you make a video about how to slightly move hands to defend punches while keeping highguard so we dont get rattled?
So you’re saying I shouldn’t defend like Poatan even tho I’m 5’5?
CHAMA
Gotta train a certain degree of separation of the hands. Both hands should ideally be actively doing things to defend and inflict.
And by separation I think you mean independence right?
