then there's some funny thing i don't remember about making a fist and Smile

Defending the teep
-He said we learn techniques using the hands to catch and toss the teep but in actual fighting you just rotate your torso
-Don't put both hands down to block the teep! When I watch myself on video, man, I leave my head open when I do that

Angle elbow to axe elbow
-parry jab, step in with angle elbow, follow up with axe
-the rear hand comes up to guard your forehead so the rear arm is in position to axe elbow

From sparring, dealing with straight punches
-against jab, i've been slipping and throwing overhand rights alot and its good
-against jab, i've also been swatting it down with right and continuing with a right and its good
-but today i swatted down a right cross with my right and threw a jab and it was good
