dafabe Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 In boxing should you gaurd be in contact with your face, I was not sure as i feel it would still stun you if you did. "perfection, is something we all get closer too with training, but you will never get there and untill you accept this your mind will be limited in what you can achive"- Dave
ramcalgary Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 your hands should not against your face when in a correct stance but when covering some people put their gloves against their face. you still feel the blow but it lessens the effect Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever
Bon Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 It depends how you block really. In my guard, my left shoulder is in contact with my left jaw & my right hand near my right jaw.. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
Bretty101 Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 The funniest thing i ever saw (i guess you had to be there) Had a bloke turn up claming he'd done boxing while he'd been away from the club anyway he was saying how good he was . Any way later we startd sparring and he takes up a guard with both his gloves just off his chin. So anyway i'm sparring him and realised each time I connected with his forearms he punches him self in the face!! I then punch his gloves and he knocked himself out!! The moral of this story: if your gonna have you hands around your face make sure they are above your chin, or if they are your hands are open so you don't punch yourself out! Bretty
