Yeah sometimes it's just beyond my understanding -

I guess I have the tendancy to search thinking there should be some kind of perfect technique that will allow you to never get hit but at the end of the day I guess you can always expect to get hit/kicked or whatever... you just want it to be less (or less powerful) rather than more!

Maybe he meant to keep your back straighter, not necessarily stand tall? You could have been leaning over and ruining your posture, using your back to get lower instead of just bending at the knees to lower yourself down while keeping your regular stance.

Its ok to stand tell if your a tall fighter, but you always want to have a slight bend in your knees and stay on the balls of your feet of course
