Great topic and thread Kellen.

For me, I got hit a lot. Both in boxing and karate. That said, slap parries worked well when I pulled them off. Slips I think were more accidental , I got bad eyes with the glasses off. Other than that it was shell up and absorb stuff on my arms and gloves as much as possible. But me style was to always advance. Always throw. Overwhelm. Having poor eyes, it was the only thing that worked consistently. I take 2 to give 10 sort of deal. If you keep them on their heels those 2 normally had little on them.

Really great thread .
