Could break their leg actually @Squeaks

No, not really.

You'd definitely hurt them though, but it'd still hurt you

But it protects your nuts

Yeah But Problem is it is In my brain chemistry Which Takes years

Plus you have the sanchin stance from karate: You put your hands by your shoulders basically and push your legs inwards

It protects your junk like nobodies business.

The Muay Thai stance protects the nuts well too

Eeeh..tan guard muai which is the basic stance is kinda to far forward IMO

The arms are to far forward, means grapplers are like

👀

I SEE THEM THUMBS.

Depends

I only put my left hand forward

Why protect against pain When you can thrive on it

And that's used as bait a lot

One of the first things we learned in HEMa is how to hold our thumbs properly.

So that they can't get grabbed and broken.

People think that's not a thing but ooooh BOY is it a fuckin thing.

The amount of people I catch with a cross when they try to push or grab it

I am A Southpaw @insanelyvain

LEFTIES UNITE

That can make it easier in some ways

but i can switch Naturally

There's a really good south paw in my gym

Dude can wrestle as well as he can strike

Southpaws are not fun to fight IMO.

why

and I'm one too

Because if you're a rightie, it means your punches will be harder to land.

all the power punches you got are from the right hand

Meaning their right is in your face 24/7

LEFT. god damn it.

You don't like fighting them for the same reason orthodox don't like fighting them

You don't know how

South paw vs south paw is like orthodox vs orthodox

But you're not used to that dynamic

Southpaws vs souths is hard, yeah.

Which is why being ambi is good.

Switch hitters are rare in the fighting community though

like 1 in 20,000
