Filipino boxing against English Boxing.
Differences, strengths and weaknesses. Tell
us.
The Filipino Boxing differs a lot from English
boxing. First, because though it is called
boxing, the Philippines use more weapons
than just hands. For instance, in Filipino
boxing, it is allowed to use the elbows to
punch, sweep outs can also be performed
to unbalance the opponent and create and
opening in his guard. Likewise, they use
the technology of the pressure dots and try
to attack the nerves and sensitive areas of
the body. Definitely, The Filipino Boxing is
less restrictive than the English Boxing in
relation to regulations; it turns it a great
weapon for genuine personal self-defense.

similarities, thus they have been tied for
a long time. The truth is that they both
emphasize on rival catches outdistance,
and the concept of flowing in all distances
embracing usefulness without caring about
the traditions.

work, you can not blame the technique!
It is your entire fault. But you need to be
honest.
