WAS ALWAYS TOLD THESE BAGS SHOULD BE AT HEAD LEVEL, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS

Hi there, I'm just starting out and your videos have been very helpful-- thanks! Just a question-- I can't help but notice those loose thumbs on the glove; does that help you with the parry? How might you avoid getting that thumb caught? IE, is that just a light pinch the thumb is making on-contact with easy, loose, aligned strikes?

Lookup the video "Why you need to start training with old school thin, bag gloves without padding." by Ramsey Dewey. Should explain most of the logic and history.

@@trevordollinger6569 aw man, that solves that problem! I keep trying to align my metacarpals in some hand-me-down gloves, but then the padding gets misaligned and there's wrist tension to compensate for the pull of the gloves. Appreciate the suggestion-- thank you!
