Chin placement

[BCBUD]

I would say its because a lot of trainers dont think about posture, maybe because they dont understand the potential to be had in terms of posture and its effects on strength, power and mobility.

They are trying to give the chin some cover from hooks, however there is too much lost in the tradeoff for my likeing.

You must think in the most basic terms also in boxing, bobbing around low down with your chin on the chest opens you up for uppercuts that can be thrown while your coming in.

Without sounding like a kiss ass the bare knacker of it is i have trained with all types of coaches at national level inmultiple combat sports since i was 6 and i have never met anyone who puts a fraction of the thought that scrap puts into his work.

That's it! I can already hear it you got hit square and proper because your chin was up.next time try and stick your chin into the chest!
This may work well for a diver but for the average person it doesn't. much better to move out on the backfoot and lean backwards, when dealing with the hooks.http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/...66_634x420.jpg
