Now in Boxing Stance

I have no idea what just happened there, all I know is she looked tense as hell and had absolutely no balance in the bottom clip. Why is she doing this in the middle of the road?

[RDJ]

That looked rather robotic to be honest. Why the square stance btw?

There are two basic training stances in the martial arts,horse and cat.Horse isnt really a fighting stance as its a training stance used to teach you how to get your knees under your shoulders,the fighting stance is cat,which is achieved by taking your rear foot back in a half moon.
And its a rote repetition drill to teach the blocking system,in a series of hard blocks,so of course it will look slightly robotic

She might actually be more Celtic then you Donny
As far as the blocking style,its a skill set taught in Ed-Parker Ken Po,and Jeet Kun Do

I was talking about the style rather than the practicioner
(with my family name theres no way a person can be more celtic!)

Jeet Kun Do - there is a heavy focus on the centre line in that if I'm not wrong.

Ed Parker,modifies it by picking angles to work from,but to have proper technique youve got to start from a base repetition drill,wich is what that is.
Its sort of like Katas,one of the first thing my teacher told me is,"If you find all of your opponents lined up exactly like this,you wont be able to hit them,you'll be laughing too hard"
Its a repetition drill to get the fighter used to total coverage blocking,and doing it hard enough to make your blocks hurt your opponent.
Also if you hard block enough to get the arm of your opponent out of round it creates an opening for the counter shot

[Trainer Monkey]

And for those who havent guessed,I do things slightly different.
My logic is as follows,if the martial arts,ala Jeet Kun Do and Ed Parker Ken Po,can learn things from Boxing
Then why cant boxing learn things from the martial arts?
Most gyms arent going to ask you to take centering ,and then wallop you in the gut
I will
I stress balance,mental,and physical,I stress technique,and I stress conditioning
I know me and Scrap sound like we're coming from mars some days,but we both know what we're looking at,and looking for

don't advocate this as i don't think it will work all that well but check it out, analyze and discuss. maybe we (i) can all learn something

Thats a variant of Ju Jitsu,lots of elbows,tight to your opponent
What I dont like about what I saw(and caveat that by saying what I saw in the clip) is how far he's allowing his head to come past his front knee,it just doesnt look balanced to me.
I probably should have taken a side clip of the modified to boxing 8 point,my bad,I'll see if I cant get that together later today,but one of the things I stress,is for balance you have to keep your shoulders directly over your knees,if you go too far in either direction front or back,your in a controlled fall,and it only takes one well placed shot to help you on your way.
The shot Foreman leveled Frazier with,Joes head and shoulders were way past his front knee,Frazier came with an over head cross if I remember correctly,and"Down goes Frazier"
Still, interesting stuff Iceman

Why not break it up and then work on it as separate responses? I think that the more realistic that training can be, the more that you'll get out of it.

Another thing about about your downward parry/forearm-block, I've always thought that it's dangerous move that should only be used in certain situations. Such as for instance you're parrying their punch on the retreat, which gets you out of range of a follow up, and the parry should give you a brief opportunity to counter with a jab of your own (just like a fencer's move). Otherwise under most conditions it's a dangerous habit.
