WC guys tend to lead with their chin, as we have seen from a few clips.
I think it MAY have to do with how they punch...

Yeah but that can be said for most systems that are far too "inbreed" (fighting skills are developed VS itself).
Boxer's boob n weaves leave them open for knees and kicks.
TKD guys side stance leaves them open for TD and low kicks
Karate guy's stance leaves them to static to deal with low kicks and blind side attacks
Etc, etc...
As long as one is aware of ones weaknesses then one can play off their strengths.
WC guys because they want to go "up the middle" VS round strikes sometime tend to over emphasize straight line movement too much.
Indeed, some people confuse "centerline" with "up the middle".
Of course if you do spar and fight things become clear much quicker ;)
Extended bridges are an open invitation.Quote:
