    Hello, I need tips on parrying punches. I was taught to keep my fist in a closed position, but loose closed so I am relaxed. Would it make sense to keep my fist closed, open them when I begin parrying and close them again after? Should I Transition like this between open and closed or just keep them open at all times? My coach taught me to keep them closed but relaxed, then open when I want to parry any shots then keep them closed again. Basically they only open if I parry. At all times besides this they are loosely closed.
    Thanks
