slipping hands up or down?

[Andre]

when slipping punches is it best to keep hands up or down?

These guys are right from the general point of view and 90 % of the time.

Nothing is fixed in granite though.Theres always exceptions to every rule.
If you are countering with an uppercut because you slipped sideways and bodily to the outside of their arm; your inside striking arm wont be up.


Rare, but you can slip and control their arm with a glove on their elbow point and go over , under or around their arm with your other glove when they react, you need to be still moving to the correct position in those cases which is all part of the set up.
