Right on point with both the pros and cons of hands up and hands down. Great video
Are these guys on crak? They can’t keep still!!
When a student achieves “enough experience”, they tend to develop a style of their own. There are many aspects to training; diet, nutrition and mental-ness being a part of the foundation. Focusing on the weakness of the self for the reason to improve until that becomes a strong point,
is a good path to follow. It all takes time and hard work (and there aint any short cuts). I can think of dozens of things to yell into the ring (cage) from the side-lines…”Keep a peaceful mind” doesn’t sound right and neither does “Leave the ego at home”, but both are true. By the time the student is ready, they will already know.
Bruce lee jeet kune Do shows switching from one hand guarding face one hand guarding body and switching at pattern to lure and no pattern to be unknown shows full guard to body and head as well as unseen attacks but you can also add in both hands up and both hands down as to keep the other guessing.

This channel is the real deal they know what their doing in my opinion!
I know you said he went on a bit, but for a beginner like me, that was a great breakdown — and enough to convince me that I’ll never be good enough to try the hands-down style. Now I know why my coach likes to test me by dropping his hands. 🙂
Excellent explanation of both approaches. Hands down only if u r advanced if u r not then hands up. And street wise hands up. That’s what I drew from this clip.
Great breakdown! On Point Sweet T:-) Thx for sharing👍
Hands down. You can surprise people by not advertising your intentions plus you can groin strike and use your shoulders to knock someone off balance
I agree more with Travis’ comments on the e-mail than this video.
