On the outside i like to keep my hands in what i think is a Muay Thai like postion. To further describe this,i dont really keep my arms in tight. I hold them out in front of me with my palms facing my opponent. When i start to get more to mid range i bring my arms in tighter to my body but still keep the palms facing toward my opponent but not as much as when hes more outside. Then as we get closer and more inside i go to earmuffs. So the closer we get the closer i get to earmuffs. I only keep my hands out there when im on the outside and it seems productive in both blocking and striking for me. I am quick too so maybe this helps. I use alot of footwork and i am an outside fighter. Im a muscular build, walk around at 175-180 and im 5'10''
