The TRIANGLE GUARD (for great boxing defense and offense) 

Important tip: rotate FOREARMS and move 2 block accordingly.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you

That is amazing. I was doing it wrong way.

Absolutely love this video as always mega knowledgble 👊👊

This is so kool ! I will use that with my Muay Thai training!

Ty I just learned the proper way to use this guard

Good video. Thank you.

Nice new guard to learn.

Most importantly you raised my elbow conciousness, thanks dude

Great video johnny been trying to find a vid on this specific guard. Thank you brother!

I dont like the the name triangle guard. I just makes it sounds like its exposed to uppercut. I call it the "High Guard", "The Shell", or "Blinders". I used to call it ear muffs but it's not necessarily guarding the ears. Also when you're using the "Triangle Guard" in my opinion it's best to block body shots by dropping your body down other then dropping your hands. Its more effective from countering body shots in my opinion.

This is great. Good idea.

simple explanation,but it hits the point.

Anybody try this while sparring? I did. Instead of exposing the torso you can keep your guard up with the gloves in a neutral position while your radius and ulna run straight down the sides of your body instead of flaring out. This allows you to parry and doesn't waste time parrying body shots when you can simply just lean and your elbow or forearm catches the punch while not even moving the arm or spending all that energy. I feel like this guard is very susceptible to feints. It's so open that if your opponent feints one side and strikes the other, good luck getting that other wide open arm/glove to come parry it if your opponent is even remotely quick. This gaurd is also very exposed to what we call in our gym 'Dutch'. Lomachenko uses this technique when he slaps one side of the guard down with the opposite side hand and slips in a hook in the opening he created. Since the elbow joint isn't in line with the shoulder joint, Dutch techniques work fantastically against that 45 degree externally rotated elbow. I also found myself getting uppercut a lot with this guard. I know you can parry them but if the arms are in closer to the body you have more effective surface area to parry with. If your arm is closer in then the uppercut has to pass through the arm if you turn parry and the glove, rather than just the glove in the triangle guard. I'm not saying this guard is bad. How a boxer uses a guard makes it good, but every guard can be broken using different techniques. I'm sure there are some straight KILLERS who use this guard to their advantage. Most prominent one that comes to mind is Tyson, he would use this quite a bit. This one is not my cup of tea however. I will stick to my classical straight arm stance and philly shell. Stay strong folks 👊

I use the highgaurd as my main stance and pretty similar to this one only though I tuck in my for arm more and don’t parry body shots. I have my knuckles pointing to the sides like you. I have more like an upside down u and a triangle.

Already love it

Great content. Are things like this covered in your courses? I want to grab the 6 pack, but feel like it might not contain all of the info from your youtube videos.

Tried out the triangle guard more infused with a high guard. God damn does it work well with close range defense and infighting. If they go for my gut or solar plexus I can usually turn my elbow in, just gotta be careful not to hit the other elbow else it'll hurt a bunch. Know this is redundant but for long range id usually go for a long guard/philly shell fusion alongside for lead hand control and better agility wise

Great video! Can you make a video about cross-armed defense?

And this is where 52 blocks idea sort of came from.

Leo santa cruz uses that wall-like guard, he's a pro and iam not but it depends, nice vid

Old school stance is the best guard also cross guard is quite effective u can easily take away an opponents jab with a cross guard

Should I use it in the whole fight or only for some time and If only for some time, then when should I use it? Sorry for bad English 😅

Next blog complete fighting style in boxing

Cool guard I wanna test it out on my irritating cousins for self defence of course.

Is this stance quite squared up? Seems like I’m quite squared up. Sort of like Tyson

Gadsden flag, nice

Its like a muay thai guard

If you watched Mike Tyson's matches, even though he uses the pee-ka-boo style, his guard is very similar to this triangle guard

Box sings...

lets see this guard in real sparring.

Diss da defense Teofima SR said tank can’t get thru

Tried it not for me

good luck sparring someone who throws a lot of faints... or has an explosive jab... this stance is how you get set up

I don't see anybody walking around with their guard (at least not long lol) consistently in a triangle. There is a time and place but using the triangle (like in the thumbnail) all the time, you would have cracked ribs. I do agree keeping you hands too low or high or shelling up limits either your vision or mobility. Triangle is more of where my hands are at from time to time (thus a component) you can never leave any part of your body in one place during boxing. The exposure is just too high to have that as a base guard.

This is so stupid, what are you gonna do if uppercuts are thrown at you?

Im not convinced. guard with such an open elbows does not look good. Tight guard allows to protect body better and counter with sharp hooks and uppercuts. Guard you're showing is the one most muay thai fighters seem to use. And as a person who love short distance and work a lot with uppercuts - I found opponents using this kind of guard to be the easiest target. Just my personal impression.

3:48 and 1:06 ... now tell me when have you ever seen this in a real boxing gym...

I'm Single 😍😥

A libertarian boxer. That's new...

For boxing is Ok, for a sreet fight the problem is you are exposing your ribs and liver to receive a kick.
