Can you do 5 to defend hooks and uppercuts (body and head)? Thanks

[IbrahimMdahir]

Shane can you make a video on common mma and boxing injuries and the best way to take care of them and prevent them. I’m completely ignorant on this topic and it’d be nice if you were to drop some knowledge bombs on the underdogs 🙂

Can you do a video about the long guard for muay thai?

[chucknorris]

I use a blocking based guarding style too. Often I just deflect shots off my guard or absorb them on my forearms or gloves with my high guard when Im being attacked. I take the least damage this way, and am in position for a counter attack. I do muay thai. I use that helmet/shield type guard you showed in the video too. I use most types of blocks in my sparring along with the high guard. Blocking is the most reliable form of defense, imo. Besides getting out of the way but you cant always evade the attack.

Hey, just a tip: YouTube has an algorithm that really favors videos over ten minutes, I notice that you have a lot of smaller videos, if you put some of them together so they’re around ten minutes, you’ll get more views. Not saying to put random videos together, but adding a little more to each video and uploading a bit less frequently would definitely be worth it, love the content and I’ve been subbed for years, I love seeing the channel grow. Good luck and great content!!

I also find it effective to Parry the jab and bring my lead/left arm up to block the right hand, a mix of the first 2 Shane mentioned.thank you for another video of vital info

[unleashingpotential-psycho]

Going for a single leg underneath the cross is a great defense for it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[CullyGotHands]

i like the parry work! love parrying the jab then coming over the top with the straight right 🔥

[Meymeygwis]

Great tips thank you! That last one seems a little risky but that's just me. Thanks!

[NoCommentChick]

You can see Floyld Mayweather Sr. doing the shoulder roll technique you mention last in his famous “bout” with professional troll Charlie Zelenoff.

I've used a hook to counter the Jab + Cross. A hook is a great follow up attack after a dodge.
