Low guard

Low guard

The low guard is a boxing guard used in the early days of the sport. It is not commonly taught these days as it leaves the face to open for incoming punches. Although boxing coaches do not teach or recommend using low guards, there are professional boxers who use them, Muhammad Ali for example.
