So I train Muay Thai, and I'm curious how applicable some of the blocks would be outside of sport usage.
So some of the blocks are doable exactly as-is outside of sport. E.g., the cover blocks where you use your arm tight against your head/torso.
But what about the standard block vs jabs/straight punches? We are taught to brace our gloves against our forehead and make a wall with the gloves.
I haven't trained boxing but from watching it, the block is similar (or maybe identical).
When one isn't wearing big gloves, is that type of block effective?
And sort of the inverse question: Some styles (e.g., a JJJ school I trained at for a bit) have blocks where you use your arm to parry their strike.
Is the reason we don't see those types of blocks in sports due to having on large gloves which make it hard to do well? Or is it just that being able to make a big glove wall is more effective than those blocks, so in the sports where you are wearing big gloves you just block with the gloves?
