How Should You Keep Your Hands Up For Self Defense?
If you are not ready, you will find it difficult to block any strike or counter-attack as a defense. Even if you want to intercept the punch, your hands should be ready to go.

To intercept a punch, you have to hit the attacker before his punch touches you. Here you punch as a defense against a punch. You might often hear that keep your hands up.

If you learn martial arts, you know it very well how you should keep your hands up. If you stand in a fighting stance, your hands are always up. If someone attacks you and the fight begins, you can make your move from fighting stance. At this point, it is clear to everyone about the situation.

But if you are just talking and you feel that you can be attacked at any time, what should you do? Keep your hands up. Well, if you stand in a fighting stance and keep your hands up, the situation might get worse.

Your fighting stance gives a clear signal that you want to fight or you are ready to fight. You might not like to give the obvious signal. Maybe you think you can solve it without getting into a fight.

Still, you feel that there is a possibility that you will be attacked. In this situation, you can keep your hands up, but it is not in a fighting stance. You can keep your hands crossed on your chest. Your hands are there and you are ready to strike and defend any time. 

You can also keep your hands forward (without fist). So your hands are open and up, and you are trying to defuse the situation. Again you are ready to defend and counter-attack although it does not show it. 

Keep your hands up and maintain the distance. It will help you defend against strikes. Thank you so much for reading this post. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.
