  • any vids ive ever seen of cmd sparring looks incredibly awkward compared to regular average standard boxers.

  • Hey BillySue2.

    This is a common comment in response to seeing CM by people more used to seeing boxing.

    The focus on CM is defence first, which is why we see hunching the neck and keeping the hands up. This looks very different to boxing and, inaccurately, many people think this is tense. It's not. But it does take some time for people to relax into it.

    As a coach I'd rather see awkward and safe in a beginner than loose and at risk. I'll take that trade.

  • @revolutiongym where is this? if you peekaboo like that a combo is gonna split this guard. what is this stuff?

  • @revolutiongym if you block your head with your elbow some one will feint you and hit you in the liver.

  • are there any fighters coming out of this thing?

  • rigid,uncoordinated,tentative and overly concerned with being hit.They dont look like they could hurt if they tried.Of course if theyre beginners thats expected but ive never seen anyone use this method to attack effectively except rodney king and hes always shown sparring very low level partners so anyone would look good

  • Please clarify what you mean by "awkward". What exactly is it that you see?
