Using the crouch against taller fighters

[Dawn-nightmarex]

Once my gym starts back up, I’ve been thinking of adapting the crouching style due to the fact that most of my sparring partners are taller than me. I just need some tips. When you are fighting the crouch style, do you stay crouched the entire time? Or should you only crouch when punches re thrown at you? I find that staying crouched the entire time tires me out quickly, and puts unnecessary stress on my legs.

What do you mean crouch? You shouldn't give up any height at all unless you're talking about what you're doing on defense.

When you crouch a little bit, your elbows can cover up the sides of your body. Other than that, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Watch tapes of Rocky Marciano, but you have to train in a crouch position So your legs build the strength and endurance to fight in this manner. On taller fighters to get in is you get low you jab your way in with 3 to 4 jabs followed by a right hand to the solar plex. You also need to learn how to slip bob and weave watch tapes of a Young Mike Tyson. So putting a Marciano Tyson style will help defeat taller fighters. Also body punch as you hit that body your opponents height begins to shrink . In person I could show you but in writing this is my best advice

Give it a try. nothing wrong with trying new techniques when sparring. Also a good thing to have different techniques in your bag to deal with different types of fighters. I'm usually trying to get underneath a tall guys punches and go to the body. it makes sense to me when fighting a taller opponent. You might want to include some head movement when going in

Lol that’s a funny diagram. Don’t force styles. Let your style come to you.

Start squatting some weights. Get those hams good and strong. I was an in your face type of fighter. Getting low calls for strong legs. It was an incredible thing really. I told my trainer that I wanted to be an ultra aggressive crowd pleaser when I decided to fight pro. As an am I was walking the ring controlling with feints and my jab. It is tough, but there are secrets that you may soon see, if you recognize it...…...Rockin'
