Master of Kung Fu Fighting Techniques in Chinese Boxing (Part 57) The modern martial arts have some deficiencies. For instance, the regulations of boxing ban the boxers from punching to some vulnerable parts of the body and consequently they are not so courageous that they should be. Those who are engaged in Eastern martial arts like karate are also restricted by rules and they are obliged to prevent their kicks from touching the opponent's sensitive parts of body.

These rules and regulations cause that the fighter cannot stand in a right position. Besides, they deprive the martial art player of learning the dodging and defensive techniques as well as moving the head to the sides. In a real fight, distance plays a major role and can be considered as a defensive technique. Fight can be defined as the capability of the player in performing offensive and defensive techniques effectively and moving to the sides to deceive the opponent.

In other words, it means: To hit and not to be hit. Like every martial art, a good offense in boxing is the best defense. A boxing master usually punches consecutive straight lightning fists to ruin the opponent. He often performs some tricky techniques to confuse and embarrass the rival and then makes his main attach on him. Although you have to wear gloves in exercises and the ring, they are a little bit troublesome because they make your hands feel bored.

An amateur who uses helmet has a poor eyesight and on the other hand since he heavily relies on this protective head-covering, he gradually forgets how to defend his head against the opponent's blows. So, a boxer should not get used to them. Right Hand Guards The position of hands is very important when a boxer guards to defend a blow.

If his hands lower than the right position, his trunk will be defenseless and accessible for the opponent's attacks and in case they are upper, then the lower part of the body will remain unprotected and also his vision will be poor. Meanwhile, if he inclines too much toward the sides, the position deprives his back hand of performing both defensive and offensive techniques.
