“Still could not put the white guard away though..but again the hands down thing..man that has to really be drilled into the adrenal response. Also listen to these dumb women. Who are the authority figures here..."this child" (eighteen year old), "why didn't anyone help?" Really? in 2015 you are asking that?”
“His last name is cool though.”

Hands down by the hips is not a bad thing if you are wielding weapons like spears and sticks, which our ancestors handled for hundreds of thousands of years. Also, raising your hands in a combat attitude as a guard can get you fired or sued. As soon as a video went out with this big white dude raising his hands to this harmless child of the State it would have been all over for him.
It is therefore important to practice sucker punching from the waist. I have landed my best bare knuckle punches from a hand down position.
Also, since the guard had the sense to tuck his chin and not run his mouth he wasn’t in any real danger from this twerp—who was surprisingly strong but packed no punch.
The key to why the kid can’t punch is seen in his wide stance, his tensed shoulders, and the elbow forward guard that he goes into at the end when he starts to get worried about not hurting the guard, which shows that he carries stress in his shoulders.
