this post brings back a fond memory! of Kru Pong (in Vegas, not the honorable Kru Pong from Houston) standing behind me while I hit the pads, he would smack me in the head with a small (1") piece of bamboo when I dropped my guard. Actually I owe alot to that piece of Bamboo it helped get my leg check up fast too! I learned very quickly to keep a tight high outside guard. Bringing your hands back fast & high is something to try and work on in all training aspects from shadow boxing to sparring IMO.
