@@rickanapazyou’ve clearly never boxed a day in your life, pros keep their hands up constantly because they run multiple miles every day…. For the average person on the street or in an amateur match keeping your hands up literally is just draining your own stamina….

Advantage is subjective. It is merely different in my opinion. There are risks posed that counteract the benefits. It’s all about how you use it and if you chose an advantage that pertains to your style
@@anthonygill3261 tbh elusive fighters who are good with evading and slipping punches actually have an advantage with having their guard down. Think naseem hamid. Fighters that are slower but durable. ones that are good at catching punches with their arms and hands have a better advantage with a high guard. It actually also depends on your body type and style. Skinnier fighters with long arms tend to be very elusive, whereas more compact guys tend to be less so.
@@loverofhumanity yeah I’m a skinnier fighter and I realized your fighting style is like math. It always existed, you just had to discover it. You really don’t pick your style, your style picks you

@Jo-dp5go Those are the incorrect adjectives, the correct one would be snarky. I understood the analogy perfectly, my comment was aimed at your stupid use of "nothing but." Nice use of bold and caps lock by the way, it really gets the point across.
My coach always told me that I should develop sound fundamentals of guard before trying any different variations because working proper technique allows you to for instance fight with low hands and still keep some fundamentals like head movement. But if a fighter jumps straight into a low guard with shitty head movement and positioning, he’s just gunna get worked by a fighter with good fundamentals
As a general rule you should keep your hands up as a beginner. It's good advice and teaches you to be aware of you openings. As you advance you can be more advanced but basics are important!
Yeah I agree it’s probably best to start beginners off with hands up, mostly because we all know 99% of beginners will have hands low especially when tired and you honestly couldn’t have a worse habit then that so best eliminate it before it even starts imo. Though simple his point about it being fine as long as it’s for a reason is just as good if not better as long as they take that as gospel and not just half ass it otherwise they gonna have that brain knocked around pretty bad.

@@selanimationartworks1557Exactly. Many great coachers were only journeymen or amateur boxers. Teaching is its own skill, and some great boxers don't know how to teach what they are doing because it is so natural for them.
i can not say anything about his coaching because i dont know much about that, but as an amateur boxer his level was quite low. And I am saying as amateur, as pro he wouldnt even be a warm up. And I have been following him since he had this other friend as a teen and making those "self defence videos in street fight", i dont remember how many years back was that... I wonder what happened to that guy actually.. :D
His teaching is wrong,yes his high guard makes sense but you gain some advantages and lose some,you can’t say low guard is trash and do what I do because that’s what’s right because I do it,thats what boxing is all about find your style and master it don’t let every wannabe fighter tell you what’s right and what’s wrong(not talking about obvious mistakes that need to be fixed)
Man, you are brilliant I've been watching you for few years now. The amount of wisdom you giving is priceless. It's good to see you evolving in the best coaching way. Keep it up bro! Greetings from Poland.
Great advise!! I’ve always kept a high guard when closing distance but then when taking a second to pace myself I’ll have my hands down but like you said to bait punches for an easy counter
Dang bro I remember watching your videos back in like middle school, been a bit glad you’ve come as far as you have. Your hands are looking fast as well! Cheers buddy.
Been watching your videos since I was in 10th grade, I’m now 23, and every time I’ve used your fight tips, I would come out the victor , thanks for the wisdom 🙌🙌
Wow man. Haven’t watched you in years. You’ve developed so much. Congrats on the brand rise and years of hard work you’ve put in to get to where you are now. Loving prayers and blessings in Jesus name 🙏💪☝️
I’d say for new people, keeping your guard high is good early advice. If you’re experienced, have some fights under your belt, then you can adjust your style and see how it works for you. There’s no one size fits all for fighting.
My coach has always told the newer people to keep their hands up, but with the more experienced people that can use head movement and know what they're doing, he doesn't say anything.
Man you’ve been putting out such good content for YEARS. You have been solid from day 1. Much love The first video I ever saw was a tip to keep a mouth guard in your back pocket if you think something might go down
Hey 👋 I like this 🎉. I’m a hands down guard kinda guy. I find I can bridge the gap if I just use a karate style leaping jab or cross. So hands down can still initiate too! Man I remember watching you like ten years ago. This video has so much info and troubleshooting in only 60 seconds. Amazing 😻
It’s been long years brother I watched you from the start now I finally can say you became a good coach hope I train with you one day because I have to do everything by myself I have gym but they are shit so will see you one day when I will be fighting in big organisations just camp.
Hello if ever you read this I used to watch your early videos about self defense and bullying. I used to have so many bullies but thanks to you I overcame my fear of fighting and currently boxing for fun. Thanks very much
Dude, this video os smooth af. I happened across your channel today and am very impressed. That doesn't count for much because I know nothing about fighting itself, but what I can detect is a well-versed and high quality RUclipsr.and Clear, concise, well spoken. 👌 Beautiful
It's amazing how far you've come here on YT and in life overall. I've always seen you as a great fighter and have learned a lot from you. You're a cool guy aha

Man I been watching your channel since I was freshman in high school started your video about defending yourself against bullies thanks you man you’ve help me come along way I’m now coming up on 2 years of real mma training at my local gym. Hopping to get in the cage one day 🙌🏽
Well said, I agree 100% you should fight in which form you are most comfortable with, just because you fight with your hands down does not automatically mean the fight is over.
@fighttips long time viewer (years) i’ve noticed a shift in your disposition towards 💩 talkers and wanted to remind you you’re great and an inspiration to thousands of amateur boxers keep it up don’t let haters steal your energy
Great Advice I've seen too many times when people have their hands up but don't block properly which i think is a worse habit than having your hands down and Dekkers used to block everything from high gaurd and his high gaurd was extremely high
I train casually but I think it’s good to initially learn with your hands up and then as you get better transition into your own style. If that means hands down at least they have the fundamentals to revert back to.
You’re really good and incredibly entertaining, especially for a martial arts video, as many as I’ve seen none of the people are this entertaining or charismatic, great videos , awesome moves
A stance is meant to be fluid and responsive. My i default to a regular high back hand low lead hand guard if i dont know my opponent and i switch my guards as i learn more about them.
The hands up to eyesbrows really helped me striking more easy with my right hand and keep compusure ,not gonna lie its a game changer. I am a tall boxer so keeping my right fist in eyebros level, I dont exctaly how, Really help me feel more sure about using it, even in combination without feeling open. So thanks really.
Also, the great thing about a high guard is that it allows you the ideal circumstances to parry. Especially in competition the parry is one of the best tools in your box. And I know this is illegal and boxing, but I didn't mix martial arts and so my parry comes with a back hand or a back fist counter. That's what you have immediately available to you.
Now keeping your hands up are great for beginners mostly but it could help a pro too. Pro could fight however they want, but normal people don't have the same ability as pros, bear that in mind peeps. Keep your hands up, and keep your heads up guys. Love ❤
I love how boxing is definitely growing mechanically so many styles and none of them are wrong it’s about the timing and placement of the hands and feet
I agree mostly I’d say start that way because it’s the basics and you need to master the basics but as you improve and level up and master the basics it’s ok to play with hands down positions INTENTIONALLY this is a tricky subject honestly. But personally I prefer up to down for the most part because when you fight and equal or better whoever mastered their basics better has the edge that’s what everyone reverts too and if your basics are hands down vs an equal or better opponent well…..Godspeed Spider-Man
Adding onto this, i think teaching newbie fighters to keep their hands up is good, and once they get a solid base to build upon, then let them start working on their own style and choosing how they have their hands. Some fighters (myself included) have unique fighting and guard styles that they come up with on their own that works for them and their body type, but without a strong and solid base to build upon, having a unique style is useless and sometimes even detrimental.
I agree. There’s a time and a place for everything. There was this kid in my gym that was a savage. He’d change up his blocking style throughout the fight. Whenever he’d see that he had his opponent hurt, he’d lower his hands to bait out shots to potentially slip and counter to further rock the opponent or finish them.
The thing too is distance... If you are monitoring your distance and you know you're out of immediate range then hands low isn't a bad thing necessarily. Check out Lyoto Machida in UFC, does a great job of managing distance and he had to be concerned with possible kicks as well so further distance than hands.
Agreed. Everytime i adopt high guard in boxing everybody just uses the opportunity to keep me shelled up... Its funny how adopting a tight guard actually makes people more aggressive...like a challenge. Putting your guard up is like saying "hey i can't see very well, come hit me a bunch". Keeping your hands a little away from your face keeps them thinking. If your hands are stuck to your face, it gives them control.
I think the old “hands up” technique was really about building body awareness and endurance. The average person has very little of both of these things so using this as a foundation would be useful as they develop going forward. Raising your hands takes energy and building those muscles and creating that reflex is essential in any kind of martial art but this man is LEGIT! I love the willingness of flexibility. It shows he’s a good teacher.
The basic rules are for basic practitioners (majority). That's like motorcycle braking, we teach to brake before the curve, so a sloppy rider can get out of the curve alive but good riders will learn how to brake in the curve.
As someone who actually fought not just boxing but kick boxing and Muai tai and some of the best fighter in my area is keeping your somewhat lows benefits you more then you think
Man I haven’t watched your videos in quite some time (because life lol) but I grew up watching since I was idk 11 or so (23 now) and I just found out you have your own gear now, definitely gonna have to buy some stuff and show my support lol oh, and thanks for teaching me how to fight as a kid haha
I been a fan since you taught me to use a mouth guard in a street fight since I was in high school. This clip is awesome because with each doubt or naysayer it's predictable at this point and you executed this clip awesomely
I was always taught that you should either be moving your head or using a guard. Both at once are overkill unless you're getting pressured hard, at which point your foot movement will be what saves you anyway.
All the people who criticize you can’t even fight like you. Lol you are the person who made me realize the whole “those who can’t do teach” thing actually means the student can become the teacher with experience. I am so inspired by your videos bro. Been training A LOT lately based on what you’ve been demonstrating.
FINALLY SOME INFLUENCER SAYS IT, it's so obvious and old for some martial artists, *there are no strict rules for guard, strikes, anything!!* there are just styles, and every fighter should know the consecuences of every way of movement in his style, pros and cons, that's all 👍.
Keeping your hands up at the right height is fundamentally sound. No matter how you manipulate things to fit your own boxing style or not fundamentals are necessary.
"As long as there is a reason"
Legit.
Often the reason is because you get tired and get stiff shoulders etc
@@HeathenRides True but sometimes there is a legit reason to have them down.
@@HeathenRidesthat’s not a reason
That’s an excuse
