Hey sanitation, We appreciate You flooding Lemmy with content you stole from Reddit, but how about a little more effort? We prefer not to use the r-word around here. How about taking a moment to edit out the word "reddit" and replace it with "Lemmy" or "Fediverse"

Seconded so hard. 🀌🏼

what the hell is this stance called

why do i see people in vertical videos doing it reliably but never like pro-punchkicker experts

i want to solve this mystery but I don't know anything

Most pro punchkickers keep their hands or guard near their face for obvious reason. The closest this crab stance comes to is a warped cross arm block or abstract Philly shell, which was favoured by Foreman and Mayweather respectively. I was never fit enough to stick with Philly shell when I tried it and switching back to normal stance pretty much tells your sparring partner β€œI’m tired now :(.” TIL crab defence is actually what they’re called lmao.

Edit: to answer your questions, no formal fight training and learning to fight from tv and internet fight clips.
