Defending against the punches now. Okay? Now, one difference that you can't go wrong with is always keeping your hands up high. Okay? Now, once my opponent decides if he wants to throw a jab, and I don't want the jab to penetrate my guard, I'm going to try and parry the jab with my right hand.
Okay? The hand goes down. I can come over the top. I can punch from there. Or, once he's off balance here, I have a free kick here, or I can kick over there. If he comes with a right hand, again, parry with the left hand. Again, body turns. Leaves him open for a right kick, or the right punch.
When he throws the left hook, as he throws the left hook, I want to bring my arm, my right arm in close. Okay? Covering up the side. Okay? So the punch doesn't come through and hit the chin, and then they return back. Okay?
So a little drill you can do with your partner is they can throw across. One. Two. Okay? Again. One. Two. I'll throw a round or two, then they're going to add in the hook. So one, two, and then keep your hand up for the hook. Now, one more thing when they do the hook is, as you bring your arm in to block the hook, you want to extend your left hand out. Okay. Which is going to at times put him off of balance. That way you can go from a defensive move into an offensive move.
So again, jab cross hook. Jab, hook. Okay. I push him out. Now, I can always step in with a punch, or I can step in with a kick there. Okay? And that was defending the punches.

Thank you from Vietnam

Basic stuff... Good stuff.. Basic stuff is always was works best when practiced. After years and years, it will become muscle memory..

[@RecordsPlatinum]

Pretty basic, tried it out, gets job done :) Nice video)

[@iraomaiden6321]

very good

[@johnnywatson4629]

awesome!

[@anthonystevenson7944]

Good App.From some of my fighting/sparring experiences, I've often considered the practicality of a high("chicken winging") guard position as you are advocating, because you can be more easily hit in the solar plexus,ribs and lower chest than in a slightly lower guard position, however an off-line discussion I had with a Pencat Silat student and some retrospection has engendered some thought, while it is not ideal,and should be avoided as much as possible, being hit very hard in the stomach or ribs is definitely not the same as being hit in the head/face area...protect your whole body,but priority should be given to first protect your head(it's pressure points,your eyes...)-your command center,from trauma.Therefore,at least for now,I've reconsidered my former position ;meaning,that with some tactical precautions,this very high guard position can work.

[@JohnPaluska]

hey, I am no expert, but wouldn't you want to block with the same side that he is coming in with so that you aren't crossing your body when you block? How will I be able to punch someone if my arms are crossed?

[@christian_giraldy1626]

I do a lot of modified wing chun and jeet kune do and I could tell you right now it both of those martial arts its more common to block from the out side if someone punches anything mauy thai boxing kick boxing related I will slip there punches and counter punch because its easier the only 2 things I can use jkd and wing chun for is if I fight someone who does taekwondo or karate that's option 1 , option 2 is I go for breaking bones . if u want to look into wing chun or jkd KZbin master wong all of mauy thai and kick boxing is useful in my opinion but I prefer to mix everything up because im 5,9 155 pounds and have a decent amount of muscle. hopefully I answered your question

[@MElekiaZ]

what is the best idea. block or do the parry?

[@serbos123]

MElekiaZ Block... Parry is becoming out dated. If you miss a parry you open yourself up, plus you are susceptible to faints. Better to block its path and counter.

[@berqo8311]

Okay

[@jacobbc289]

I already know how to dodge really good. A lot of people are impressed with my dodging. I learned all on my own.

[@robbclayr.1735]

Wow. Thats pretty talented! :D Great Job, Keep up the good work. Im pretty good at dodging my self but not that great thou ( im learning on my own through god) . But ill get better! Well hope u continue to improve your skills :D

[@jacobbc289]

There's a lot of conflict between my instructor and I though. I've thought about confronting him about it. 🤔

[@amostaumanu342]

Robb Clay R. I'm calling you out..! then

[@NuEnque]

Clearly a serial killer

[@coreymullan1537]

+Jacobb C what country you in

[@mrawoo3124]

what if the opponent try to hit you in th belly. what defense teachnique will i do

[@amirabubaker1670]

Tense...

[@cr4shp4nts]

Good vid, good learning material! 5/5

[@flowlee3656]

I've only learned how to block at my school. We didn't learn any parrying.

[@djcrassus4422]

find a new school

[@gedeoutsiders2876]

how to block uppercut? please guy

[@GoliathDaKing]

Just the same way as you block jabs and straight punches, just turn your chin down a bit more.

[@l.deosaran5671]

wow, lol. i laughed when i saw that

[@Canadian_Eh_I]

This video should have been called "Defending the punches"

[@marwanchowdhury7941]

Wouldn't the hook slip by and hit head

[@unclerumple2439]

Marwan Chowdhury He didn’t illustrate it properly you want your arm back as far as possible

[@m7md5540]

I never defend my head by trying to catch the punch with hands . What if you miss the punch , you will open a huge space and therefore there is a 99% you will get hit hard just slip or leave it hit you

[@tigerbend1964]

mohammed a if you are used to fighting you start seeing that punches are easily blocked. There isn't much places a punch can be thrown from

[@Prime_Legend]

This guy reaches too far to parry. I would just adjust my guard by moving my right hard to block the jab. Move your left hand slightly to block the right.

[@santiagoleon5313]

Not is catch, is parry

[@kqy9]

DEM BROWS! ME GUSTA!

[@charlieme5150]

the hook punch defense in muay thai kinda sucks compared to the boxing defense, but then again it's a different sport, muay thai doesn't have very much upper body movement, it's more stiff.

[@khaloolltati]

Bro what💀r u talking about

[@charlieme5150]

[@marwanchowdhury7941]

This won't really work in a street fight because if u block like that it might slip through this will work in a muay Thai fight offiesly

[@marwanchowdhury7941]

They don't have the gloves so there showing it with their bare hand they prob do have gloves but just wanna show with bare hand

[@dilennoris6547]

+Marwan Chowdhury nope. It actually works better without gloves (steer fight). It won't slip through if you do it at the correct timing. That's the way you defend jabs and crosses in Krav Maga.

[@arcurisano2898]

if you want to know more about surviving , just go to ShepherdSurvives website. There you'll find your answers :)

[@4amwaj]

no

[@MrMCbarbon]

none of you guys will be saying this, if the guy kicked yo ass

[@NeverWalkAlone1394]

Wouldn't necessarily work in life... those parries

[@yosweetbro]

when it comes to fighting nothing "necessarily" works 100% of the time but parries do have a reasonable level of effectiveness when deflecting straight punches, plus they give you the benefit of being able to stay in the pocket and counter. your primary defence should always be distance but parries are still an important technique to have in your tool kit

[@CrowdPleeza]

This is similar to what I've been practicing. I parry the straight punches and use that elbow cover for the wider punches.

[@marwanchowdhury9353]

how bout the hook block would that work

[@TonyStark-cz5zq]

+Marwan Chowdhury I think the first line of defense is always distance. its better to avoid a punch then to block a punch. That being said, if you never engage your never going to inflict any damage on your opponent and you want to hurt him in order to discourage him from attacking. yes there is always the chance that the hook may slip through the guard (especially without gloves). However, the chances of your opponent landing a clean hook to the jaw are significantly reduced when your hands are up. it also allows you to counter with a hook of your own. Any experienced fighter will tell you that keeping your hands up to defend is extremely important especially when entering the pocket.

[@marwanchowdhury9353]

Tony Stark OK thanks but do u think I should use it in a street fight ?

[@utube10141]

shit doesn't work in real life..
