It's really handy for giving a student a good solid defensive core right at the start.

From there you build up a classic boxers guard - but they can always fall back on the crazy monkey position if they get mobbed.

It gets criticized a lot by people who think it is the sole way we fight. We don't. Its just the defensive core we fall back to.. And a great way to teach a newbie to keep his head from getting nailed by bombs from a larger opponent.
