Aye i gotta personal story maybe youd like to hear but ive been watching your channel for a very long time on youtube, ive used your videos to train after we wasnt able to afford taekwondo and mma classes anymore. After that large portion of time i was in highschool and was no longer affiliated with any school near me. I knew i wanted to pursue mma so the way i kept my skills sharp was sparring with friends whom were interested at the time with some intense shadowboxing included and all with your videos to help keep improving. Since i feel like learning striking skills and footwork alone was way easier than learning grappling alone which is close to impossible after those years i graduated and the first thing i did was go into my first amatuer mma match head first. I lost due to my poor skills in grappling as you could guess lol but people who came from the same area i live in noticed me and wanted me to train at their school where i could learn jujitsu, and more mma classes. Even if i still had to pay a fee i was excited to see that the beginning of my journey is just starting. Its been 3 years since my amatuer debut fight and now im 21 trying to make a foundation i can reliably fall down on financially to help fund my mma although thts the most hard part in my life sofar without being sure itll even work since theres not alot of opportunity where im from especially when it comes to work. Regardless your videos and success helped me begin a new chapter in life where i crave to compete. Thanks alot for the tips and instruction it made my dream to be in the ufc more and more clear to me. Again thank you so much!!

Works especially well in Muay Thai and Kick Boxing since you can use both your knee and elbow to close out your body. In boxing you get done in by someone who’s a liver/kidney hunter.

@@darkky65your right , i box, when the high guard is like that is a body punchers dream. However nothing is without risk. Personally i use the high guard alot but i dont raise my elbows, i keep my elbows tucked and kind of slouch my head down into my high guard. Like my coach and also tom yankello (roy jones jrs long time coach) taught even when blocking and catching shots on the back of the glove, i "turtle down" with my head into my guard as i block ,instead of raising my arm /and elbow to block the shot. Along with a very slight rotation deflecting the shots as i block at the same time. But im a boxer and that is the way to go. Your are also right that kickboxing/muay thai guys do raise up there guard.

I been shadow boxing for the past 5 years to work on areas I know I use to slack in fighting wise back ina day, and in that time I actually inadvertently learned this. Especially the last part about a non telegraphed punch. When I was younger I had speed in power in my right hand, but it was too obvious when I would go for a swing, so I been working on that for years. I been learned to throw quicker no telegraphed punches, but as of late I’ve been learning how to add more power without compromising speed and effectiveness

The only real certainty that can be derived is from the outcomes produced after the analysis is put into real world application. The metric most are using to judge a system's success is if we are happy or not with our lives under it.

One way my coach explained this to me is if you continue to get used to holding your hands up high where you're looking through your gloves, it'll be easier for you to keep them up in the later rounds when you get tired, cause you've been used to holding them higher. But if you only train with your hands to your cheeks, once you get tired your hands will be dropping down, leaving your head exposed.

You can actually get decent power into your jab by turning your shoulders into it, till they're almost in line with your arm and pushing your bodyweight into it by pushing off your rear foot, as if you're almost jumping into your opponent. That way you can also extend your reach quite a bit. I like to catch my sparring partners off guard with it. Works pretty well to get into distance e.g. with a double jab, hook. But careful though to not overextend

A tip I learned from watching canelo was his use of parrying with the rear hand. A lot of the time the rear hand is idle since it’s used more for power shots while the lead hand establishes the jab so it’s good to establish an even workload between both hands to keep your opponent’s mind busy as well. Nothing wrong with parrying with the lead hand but it’s always good to mix and match to make ur opponent more predictable while making u less predictable if that makes sense. Overreaching is the biggest concern with parrying with the rear hand demonstrated by how Campbell knocked down Garcia during their bout so be mindful of how much distance is really necessary to parry. Lastly, right after parrying, have a habit of putting the hand right back where it was as quickly as possible to build muscle memory and endurance while keeping your head protected. I don’t like to square up when I use the high guard like canelo does tho as I hate getting punched in the nose more than anything so I’ll slightly blade my torso kinda like how pitbull Cruz does it

I like to use the long guard most of the time. Extented lead hand makes it harder to land straights because my hand prevents opponents from fully extending their punches and hooks are out of range. My rear hand is there to block and parry and I can even use my lead shoulder to "block" or redirect most of the shots. But as for every style there is weaknesess. Lead hand side of my body is exposed and easy to hit and this style is nightmare agains longer opponents who can hook over my extented lead hand. Where long guard fails I switch to tight highguard and get in to infighting range and start landing tight hooks agaist longer opponents 💪
