never seen the x-block before. Going to try to incorporate in class during sparring

Very interesting lesson :) Kru, why would we want to commit both hands against his single hand? What if he follows up with a hook, in a standard 1-2-3 fashion? I find that in sparring that most people follow up crosses with hooks. Wouldn't the X-block just leave both sides of my face wide open for the exact counter that you showed in case one's parry arc is too wide?
@manny jones good boxing input but bobbing and weaving in a sport/situation in which kicks and knees are fair game is very risky. You essentially are rolling into the knee. Subtle slipping is great though.

LOLOL... X block! Good idea!

[@mrsoggo]

You look like Adam sandler

Why would wanna back up while perrying his jag, just counter with a right. Fior the right, perry right or Bob and weave to the left with a hook and a cross!
