Is this an effective guard stance? Feels like it would leave your face way too exposed.

its a offensive guard stance, made for jabbing and movement

All the best stances have your hands in pretty much the middle of your body so you can go high or low depending on what gets thrown

Its only boxing where a high guard is better as legs aren't in play

Eh, when I was in karate I was taught to stand more like this when fighting, albeit with my legs less stiff. Being able to keep your front hand within range to block incoming strikes to the head then using your reverse hand to retaliate. Having to raise your front hand from your torso to your face to intercept an attack would be seen as too much movement, at least how I was instructed (like we were constantly reminded not to drop our front hand during sparring sessions).

nice job wasting your life on a useless joke of a martial art
>>714968358 (OP)
no it’s fucking retarded. look at his legs

>>714969997
its not the art its the user and how they apply it. but its true we have guns and rocks, use streetfighting

>its not the art its the user and how they apply
retarded low test beta male cope. you never been in a fight before. the real answer is that it’s the art, user, and everything else. go ahead and try wing chun on a freestyle wrestler

Depends on the martial arts.

Combat sports have rules so they use diferent stances.
Taekwondo stance is optimized for leg fight and boxing is optimized for punches to the head.

Street fighting is just larping BS because in street fights anything goes so you can use weapons, sticks, a rock.

MMA BS is homosexual shit when in a street fight you usually have to fight more than one guy at the same time.

Also, criminals usually have a screwdriver if you're british, a knife or a gun, so stances are useless.

and what happens to a wrestler once he has to fight 5 negros at once.

retarded MMA larper.

>>714970706

>>714970580

This is an effective guard stance.

The philly shell is pretty low and was utilized heavily by one of the greatest defensive boxers to ever do it, Mayweather Jr.

>stances are useless in a situation where the dude has a weapon
no shit, you retards. but, fist fights are still a thing because not everyone carries a fucking weapon on them. your average person doesn’t carry a knife/gun
>>714970776
>what happens if you le fight more than 5 people
only a retard like you would get himself in that situation or make up retarded scenarios. its like asking how useful is martial arts against a bear. it’s why we invented something called running or using weapons (if you have to). but, 1-on-1 fights still happen time by time. why do you think there are so many street fight vids?

im surrounded by herbivore beta males who never been in a fight before

Martial arts are a meme and teach you self-defense wrong

Sad that Sean never got a chance to shine. His kit is very fun, especially with the mechanics of 3rd Strike.

you don't engage in random fights with 99.9% of people.

the 99% of situations that involve a street fight require weapons.

MMA imbeciles have this mindset that you should prepare for street fights, when the real shit always involves a criminal with a weapon.

daily reminder you can still carry legally one of this for self defense.

>muh weapon muh weapon
I accept your concession and the fact that you’ve never been in a fight before because you grew up pussy whipped. Every martial artist knows you won’t win against a weapon and they teach you that. The fact of the matter is fist fights still happen and that’s why cops don’t use their pistol 24/7

>>714972550
do you know martial artists have to register their fist and legs as weapons in any civilized nation?

good luck doing punches and kicks outside the ring, retard.

learning martial arts actually get you in legal issues if you street fight.

you actually believe that myth? that’s how I know you never been in a fight before. you’re fucking retarded dude
>le legal issues
>following women-made safety laws that prioritize the well being of criminals like a faggot
im laughing at your estrogenized ass. if you carry a weapon, you might as well carry a knife at that point. good luck doing anything with a screwdriver against a knife, you moron

I have never been in a fight, because I don't live near nigero people.

I usually don't expect to get into life and death made up situations when I'm outside my home.

Maybe try to live in a place without turd worlders.

If you have good head movement then you can get away with a lot

Nto but my dad got an assault with a weapon charge in the 80s after beating the shit out of someone with his fist because he was a blue belt or something in karate
