In other styles thats what Ive been taught as well. But the MT school that I might go to doesnt teach that at all. Its purely hand up in front of the face. It was quite a shock when I first saw it but the more I think about it the more sense it makes. BTW you said you parry incoming jabs. What about crosses?
