Slipping Punches

Horrible guard. You could drive a train through my arms. Keep elbows tight. Also, press forward, not backwards.

I just can't get over those elbows. My hands would start to drop, but since I made such an effort to keep them together, it would almost look like I was in a prayer or something. Pretty funny to watch it.

Sad your coach is throwing punches that will not hit even if you didn't slip. How is this going to help you improve?

@kevingong Not my coach. He's a 16-year-old kid.

Personally, I'm a switch hitter myself, and I know this video's old, but how about trying to maintain a southpaw or orthodox stance?

[l3loodfist]

Definitely agree, there was no consistency in what stance I employed.

[Eckesis]

You had the same problem I used to have.

But I agree with what pettus9 said, with only one difference, keep your hands protecting the ribs instead of the hips. Also, as I just read your description, you may or may not wish to disregard my comment. Try loosening up, you look a little stiff, and is the peek-a-boo the style you feel fluent with? If not, it'd be wise to change the way your arm positioning is that way slipping becomes easier and less tiresome.

See, this is actually form advice from someone who knows what they're speaking about. Much thanks, although I've changed a lot since this vid. I don't do peek-a-boo anymore, either.

[l3loodfist]

Elbows do not go on your hips, that doesn't make any sense.

[pettus9]
