In my gym they get us to hold our hands high but say as we go on we can develop our own style more. I tend to find that if I aim to hold my hands high I actually end up dropping them a little anyway.

I've heard a coach from another gym say to always exaggerate bending your knees because when you actually spar/fight you won't bend as much as you do in other training anyway. Not so much using it as a minimum technical standard but for conditioning allowing for some human error to bring it back to the minimum.

Opinions?
