what the hell is this stance called
why do i see people in vertical videos doing it reliably but never like pro-punchkicker experts
i want to solve this mystery but I don’t know anything
Most pro punchkickers keep their hands or guard near their face for obvious reason. The closest this crab stance comes to is a warped cross arm block or abstract Philly shell, which was favoured by Foreman and Mayweather respectively. I was never fit enough to stick with Philly shell when I tried it and switching back to normal stance pretty much tells your sparring partner “I’m tired now :(.” TIL crab defence is actually what they’re called lmao.

Edit: to answer your questions, no formal fight training and learning to fight from tv and internet fight clips.
Hey sanitation, We appreciate You flooding Lemmy with content you stole from Reddit, but how about a little more effort? We prefer not to use the r-word around here. How about taking a moment to edit out the word “reddit” and replace it with “Lemmy” or “Fediverse”
Seconded so hard. 🤌🏼
yeah. except there’s a brick wall between me and them because i only use redlib instances.
