Blocking and Parrying for Bareknuckle

[@nathanthompson6050]

An interesting modern example of this old school middle era style is Gene Fullmer. Prior to doing his lead cross guard he often uses these exact same upward parrys. He also uses a fair amount of shifting footwork to come in punching and when retreating as well.

Wow!! old time bare knuckle boxing is amazing..Thank you for the showing. Greetings from Parguay

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

thank you for watching!

[@OnyxXThePunch]

Loving this I was wondering if you could put up any sparring videos I'm interested in seeing how you go about it

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

The problem is, everyone I would spar with uses a modern style! I am working on that though and will be able to come up with something soon

[@OnyxXThePunch]

@@PugilisticusBritannicus actually I deal with that same problem I have a sparing partner that does modern boxing and I have two who do modern boxing and tkd do have one who I barely see anymore who did thai tho. I mean there's my little brother but I have to hold back so much plus he's learning from me

[@pokemonteam2755]

Agree full action

[@EpiphanyMindChange]

So basically, when you take gloves away and use bare knuckles, like in a real fight, it becomes like Asian martial arts.

[@randybowman]

When you say super old school style what time frames do you mean and can you name anyone for me to look up?

[@LieutJAM]

When block old old school style. Do you put your knuckles on your face when block, or do you just hover your knuckle to your face, or just open up your hand and grasp top of your hand and use the elbow and outer forearm to block?

[@G_STYLIN]

So the lead hand is use to block and parry? And rear arm to put to sleep the opponent?

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

Both can be used to block and parry

[@G_STYLIN]

@@PugilisticusBritannicus thx, what do you think about the centerline guard theory

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

@@G_STYLIN I don’t have any experience in JKD or Wing Chun, so I have never tried to apply CMA theory to English pugilism.

[@G_STYLIN]

@@PugilisticusBritannicus why not use only the lead end to defense? Because the fact that the arm is in front of far away if easier to parry and block than using the rear arm that is in more far away to the opponent, i dont know if youre understand me

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

@@G_STYLIN That works too - pugilism is very much open to personal preferences

[@DaveCollins123]

Are you basing your approach mainly on Mendoza? It looks very much like his stance

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

No, but I do personally prefer the old school low crouching attitude, which was also how Mendoza, Johnson and several other fighters of the middle era fought.

[@aaronhuang8425]

@@PugilisticusBritannicus thanks for clarifying! I train using 1880s-1900s focusing more on the John Sullivan era 1880s-1890s techniques. What I like about the middle era that you do is "strong dynamic entry"-ability to disrupt your opponent's balance by uprooting your opponent with the low stance during the initial clash.

Will you referee in the APR again?

[@PugilisticusBritannicus]

Yes I will!

maybe you should open a book or watch vidéos on pugilism before showing your ignorance by commenting

[@RAPEDBYBLACKS]

[@marcosgabriel9114]

Get punched in the solar plexus and see how that goes. And also, wtf is that name?
