I stopped posting in this sub forum entirely as it appears that every thread is a Sin circle jerk or people getting resentful of sound advice that doesn't jive with his style.
Not everyone needs a 12 minute tutorial on how to make a fist, and truth be told, keeping your hands up can actually be really beneficial.
It's tiring.
Edit: I should add that this isn't a dig at Louis, the OP, or anyone else posting in the thread. It just seems that more often than not there is one accepted school of thought here and all others are dismissed, insulted, or turned into a running "keep your hands up" joke. Sin is a good coach, but he isn't the only good coach on the boards.
If you're going to imply that I have an iron-curtain of mentality around here, at least have the Courtesy to spell my name right.
However, you might want to actually read the things I am a proponent of before deciding that there's too much me going on. This is one thread, there are plenty others every day that I do not post nor give any feedback in. I've never once said "keep the hands down" or anything of the sort. There's plenty of other approaches of fighting that I speak highly of on a routine basis. I've also refrained from suggesting things to people who are trained by others in that I do not want to step on other trainer's toes.
Just as apizur has every right to feel the way he does regardless of who disagrees, people have the right to like other approaches. Even ones I don't particularly teach. There's no sound reason to exile yourself out of any resentment.
