ive never seen a person who does TKD or MT or Kickboxing.....get into a street fight an not have hands up in some manner. at least in the circles i train with.

thats like common sense to have your hands up. or at least put up some kind of defense after taking some shots to the face that dont knock you out. if that

doesnt work then thats on them. the hands up thing gets nit picked alot. just cause you got your hands up against someone doesnt mean that you cant still get your tail whooped
