| When in a proper kickboxing stance where should your right hand be. Whenever I'm doing pad work in class or sparring my instructor keeps yelling at me that my right hand is too low. I keep it about chin height, should it be higher? He also says this is the reason why I get so many bloody noses from sparring so any help on how to keep my nose in one piece is greatly appreciated. |

When I'm in punching range, I keep it at cheek level. When I am at kicking range, I put my left fist about eight inches away from my face, at the same level. The reason for this is because I used to keep them both touching my cheeks, but my trainer Knocked me out one night. I didn't even know I was being kicked. It felt like someone was attacking me from behind. It was my glove placement. I had no lower vision with my gloves on.
That reminds me I just had a fight where I forgot to extend my guard, and that was the only good strike my opponent got on me. Boy, was I kicking myself in the behind! He threw that right round kick 3 or 4 more times. But I am proud to say, it was blocked everytime after that.

I keep mine about temple level also, but they move around a bit.
I think you need to ask your instructor to show you exactly were he expects you to have your hand. |
