The English Boxing Stance. No, it’s not Irish, and yes you see it all the time in MMA & Muay Thai

Why did all the old timey boxers from 100+ years ago do that weird John L. Sullivan pose with their dukes up, lead arm extended, and most of their weight on the back foot? Did people actually fight like that? What if I told you they still do? In modern MMA and Muay Thai nonetheless. It’s was called the English boxing stance, sometimes erroneously called the “Irish” boxing stance because of the popular caricature mascot of Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish Leprechaun. This is a defensive counter striking stance that was often used to bridge the gap between striking outside the pocket and clinch fighting. The English boxing stance was used by fighters such as Jess Willard, Jack Johnson, Bill Squires, and many others in the early 20th century. Can this same stance and it’s strategies be employed in modern mixed martial arts? Shanghai based MMA Coach and Kunlun Fight Combat League ringside commentator Ramsey Dewey answers questions from the viewers. Thanks to the channel sponsor, No-Gi BJJ Gear.
