Andrew Tate Says Dutch Guard Doesn't Work 😆😂

Many subscribers have been asking me to talk about Andrew Tate's kickboxing skills. I didn't know who he was but just yesterday I stumbled on a video with some guy saying "stacking gloves" for defense doesn't work. Turns out it was Andrew Tate teaching some kickboxing and I had to make a video on it.

Little information on Tate, he has become the most googled person in the world by flooding social media with his clips. That is why everyone is asking you about him.

Look at all the Andrew Tate fanboys rushing to his defence. He said something extremely dumb guys.

[@Enric0W]

Tate is wrong, but he's not entirely wrong as many think, just guarding up and expecting the gloves to work like a impregnable barrier is extremely stupid, anyone who had 1 sparring session knows that using the guard is not just lifting your gloves to your face like it would work on a video game, you have to know what you're blocking, you need to move properly so you don't absorb the impact like a dummy. Another thing people don't consider is that when they spar they're usually using 16oz gloves, its totally different to fight with 8oz gloves or 10oz like they do in boxing, not only because its harder to guard up but also because the opponent is also using a smaller glove, there's so much about defense in kickboxing and muay thai that after years I still think that its easier to learn how to strike than it is to defend properly.

[@paulpelle3046]

All spot-on. 🙏

[@Dirkzy]

Also, fighting at 205 lbs is different than Gabriel fighting at 145. I respect Gabriel, but I really thought he would acknowledge this. Gabriel made a video about a fight he had against an opponent who was good at cutting weight. He said that his opponent was 20 lbs heavier than him in the fight and went on to describe how that weight difference made the fight much harder than usual. For example, Gabriel said he had his tooth chipped because he forgot to put his mouthguard in between rounds. I think this is enough evidence to demonstrate the point honestly. I do respect Gabriel's expertise in fighting and youtube content, but just go look at UFC heavyweight / light heavyweights vs light weights and you can see the difference in the brutality of the knockouts and overall damage done in the fights.

[@paulpelle3046]

@@Dirkzy but a 205 fighting a 205 is essentially the same as a 145 fighting a 145 bro. Weight classes are obviously very important, but the overall point here is that Tate is basically saying NEVER guard up, and all the bizarre crap about breaking bones etc. 🤭 Of COURSE anybody just standing there with hands permanently stuck to their temples is an idiot, and isn’t gonna last long in the ring, but to completely dispense with the Dutch guard, and other tight guards is just utterly moronic. The best defence is to not be there when the strike comes, but nobody can do that every time, hence why guards are absolutely essential. (Ask Usman, because his simultaneous parry and slip got him KTFO...he’d probably still be champ if he’d just opted for a tight guard for the last minute of the fight) 🙏

[@CEO.Charley]

@@paulpelle3046 you couldn’t be more wrong 205 is like inevitably 6’0+ && 145 is like always 5’7 lol… everybody knows heavier weight = less technique & more brute strength.. lighter fights are world of a difference in technical fighters… also this dude fought forever ago … different game, probably coulda gotten 8-9 belts too if he tried

[@jayseandon]

1000% defense is a much more tactical thing to learn than striking imo.

[@frogman4700]

i love how throughout this video hes just subtly roasting the fuck out of tate

[@ArchynEU]

I''m always sceptical when someone talks in absolutes and declares "such and such will never work" there is a use case for almost everything. This is a particularly bad example, it's not always the best defensive strategy sure, but it is useful, and you can easily find plenty of footage of high level pros demonstrating as much. More than anything I hate the way he demonstrates it, wailing on his training partner who is clearly just standing relaxed, he might have his hands up in place but is clearly not bracing at all, feet completely parallel. Abusing your partner like that to prove a point or make a clickbait video is what really shows him to be a complete tool.

[@Tom_Framnes]

Indeed. Excellent comment, and depending on the context, even with mma gloves one can implement somewhat of an active shell guard done correctly. Petr Yan is one of the fine examples of how he utilizes and implements parries/long guard/ shell guard with head movement and mixes between them and adapts the tactics accordingly to the overall context of the fight. “ Everything works once” “ Fighting is relativity in motion, therefore never expect only respond as it one’s opponent within context that dictates tactics”

[@patmanpatmanson]

Your second word is "always". This is kind of a common sceme I couldn't help but notice in people who say that they don't like absolutes. Most people who say they don't like something oftentimes miraculously Start liking it if it helps there standpoint.

[@ArchynEU]

@@patmanpatmanson Fair point, there was definitely some hypocrisy in how I phrased that and I could have done better. Doesn't invalidate the statement however. Skepticism is generally a good stance to have.

[@avancalledrupert5130]

It's a useful guard.But I have allways found that people that use it as a there primary go to stance the easiest to beat . It makes there jab to slow and you just bounce in and out on them at long guard . It's so easy to see a punch leave from that guard you just pary the shot with your outstretched left and bomb your right into that hole and leave . Or smash leaping left hooks at the liver and fire right in as they react to the body shot and leave . When I spar and see o this guy uses high as primary I'm probably gonna find this easy . I never get using it out of elbow range personally .

[@lapotato9140]

@@patmanpatmanson ... no? that's not the same thing at all. they said they're always SKEPTICAL, which can very incredibly easily be true without being hypocritical. have you forgotten that one can hear something, be skeptical of it, but then end up coming to the conclusion that it is actually good advice in that time? that isnt an absolute declaration at all. the only thing absolute at play is that they have a reaction. how about looking before you leap next time and thinking for more than a few seconds whenever you see the chance to play the "enlightened centrist" who has actually just failed to consider basic implications.

Even with small/no gloves the guard is world class it just changes to forearm/shoulder blocking vs glove. See Alistair Overeem, Petr Yan, Gaethje, etc.

[@connor9295]

He's technically correct. First time I sparred, I put my gloves up and kept them there, no head movement, no real defensive footwork. It worked fine when the first couple of jabs came at me, but when the first hook came the impact on my glove basically made me punch myself in the face. The other issue was how exposed my body was. It was easy for my sparring partner to throw a couple of shots upstairs to keep my guard up then attack my body. Nowadays I keep my right hand up, but my lead hand just kinda does it's own thing. It's more comfortable for me and I move a lot more freely. Having a high guard works, but not if it's your only defence. Get your head moving and stay nimble, people!

I have a reach of 72 inches and I find hard to maintain offense/punching power and engage my cervical neck muscles and traps with a high dutch Style guard.

This is a very interesting video espcially since Reynoso trained guys, Canelo, Oscar Valdez, Julio Martinez, etc. have all been getting exposed for their over reliance on the rigid high guard and how easy it is to exploit. I guess in Kickboxing it's much safer but if all your relaying on is shelling up it's probably not a great idea. Cedric exploited the high guard in his fights against Holzken through pinning the lead hand and jabs to keep shields up, perhaps if Holzken had a more layered guard game he wouldn't have been so easily controlled?

They're up, they're flexed, they're moving with the punches creating a glancing blow while you keep your eyes focused on the opponents chest. All the minor details you don't need to point out to be a KZbin coach/former champ. It's amazing. You can make fun of one specific thing, get attention required and be the star they are in their current state of concious awareness and connected reality. If your hands are up but forearms flexed and focused on all action and the precise timed response reaction trained on pads or sparring counter, reacts perfectly through pattern recognition.

Try those matrix stances and guards in hard sparring.. hard sparring is where you get the reality of what works and don’t work.

I do agreed that the standard high guard sucks without the gloves, but even in a bareknuckle environment, you can totally still cover your head by grabbing the back of your head and shield the head with your whole forearm and elbow. Personally, i believe we should train how we fight. If you're not planning to enter any competitions, then learning defensive movements that only work while wearing boxing gloves is a waste of time, better spend your time on stuffs that can work with both gloves and without gloves. If the context Tate was talking about is competition, yea he's being full of shit, but if he's talking about bareknuckle fighting, he should have just ditch the gloves while demonstrating his point

Let's be honest first: anyone who asks pimp, woman-beater, someone who brags how easy it is for him to bribe police or a scammer for legitimate advice on anything needs to rethink who his role models are. That being said, guarding up does work for it's intended purposes and is essential skill to have. I don't like to use it often because I always had dificulity relaxing muscles and tensing up is something I don't like to do, but is useful when rushing in a opponent with better reach or dealing with aggressive opponent for a short while. Most of people can't stay defensive for a while and not eat some of strikes. Some of them, on the other hand, can pretty much absorb for round after round without issues. That is why sparring is important. I like to think that there aren't good or bad techniques, just what works for you or doesn't works for you and context (type of opponent, rules of a ring etc.). But it is up to individual fighter to go on his own journey and eats punches and kicks until he has it figured out.
