4 Styles of Boxing Guards

One of the first lessons you will learn in boxing is "keep your hands up!" But there are different styles of guards, which are dependent upon your body type and strategy for the fight.

1. The Philly Shell Guard

Can you break down Charlie Zelenoff’s signature timeout technique?

[Davyen]

Philly stance kinda resembles a knight covering behind a shield and attacking with a sword.

Miguel Cotto is an example of a Modernized Peek-a-boo and Mexican style guard.. his old school mix with new school tactics Are just beautiful to watch.

What I like about Shane's videos is that he gets straight to the point ... no corny intro, no unfunny comedic remarks and laughter in between, no annoying commercial. Just no-nonsense .... imagine if he had ALL of those things included, which is the case with some Youtubers, then there's now way that I would watch all his videos.

The best example of The Drunken Guard is Emanuel Augustus

I'm too old for fighting, but I love these videos. I always come away with a deeper understanding of techniques which let's me appreciate matches more. Good stuff.

I never recommend a beginner use that hands low style. Until you got a lot of rounds of sparring under your belt, maybe a few amateur matches, keep that guard high and tight

[tilted]

Hey coach can you make a video discussing that "Mexican style" guard? I really want to try it.

[cerromeceo]

You forgot cross arm guard, made famous by the Legendary Archie Moore. How you missed that one

[drewduz]

What about the Arturo Gattti guard where you block with your face? Take 1 to give 1

[thepolticalone]

Ippo made the peek a boo stance popular. How not gonna talk about Ippo

[self-madejacobo]

PJs never ending hand movements will be the death of me .... 😂😂

2:16 that is Mexican style kinda in a way. It was developed in Mexico and is used by J M Marquez finito lopez and Salvador Sanchez its similar to the Phili shell only the lead hand is loos and wondering fighters using this still have to learn how to develop power with the left and how to instantly turn it into a hook an upper or a jab this's were the famous left hook developed because of how fuedly any wondering hand would turn into a hook. I know most people like to think Mexican style is just moving forward with no de but true Mexican style keeps his opponents preoccupied with the left as he gathers points and then hurts you with that straight right. A good example of perfect uses of this style look at barrera vs prince nassim, eric Morales vs Pacquiao 1. Both fighters outsmarted and out punched their opponents with the lead hand and would force their opponents to choose getting tapped with the left or getting hurt with a straight

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Thanks guys so much for completing the moves during explanation! Coach PJs head for example goes back after the punch for Coach Shane even though the blow is not in real time speed. It demonstrates the effectiveness of a punch thrown and also what happens on the defensive end should an opponent drop his/her guard and leaves him/herself open. This is a channel worth watching and I do these drills. Lots of fun

[SaikoW]

I wanna see these 2 guys go at it all the way.

[BobbyMulqueen]

I never knew the "Mexican style" was a thing. I trained in Doryoku Karate when I was a kid, and then went on to box recently, I mixed the two stances together which feels natural to me and I ended up doing that exact stance.

[shakurjones]

Emanuel Agustus used both Philly Shell and the Drunken Style technique
