Animation Details
Keep a character's hands raised while the feet move through a compact walking passage. Guard Up and Walks Forward shows both elbows bent and the hands held close to the face. The knees lift in alternation, with short steps passing beneath a slightly forward-leaning torso. Small changes in shoulder height and body angle accompany the footwork while the arms retain their defensive position. The preview concentrates on the stepping rhythm and guarded silhouette, without a visible opponent or an accompanying strike. Forward travel is the listing's stated action; the asset's displacement settings remain unverified.
 
Technical Specifications
The listing identifies FBX animation format and names Guard up and walks forward.zip as the download. Asset duration, frame rate, skeleton configuration, looping and root-motion behavior have not been verified from the files.
 
Compatibility and Production Workflows
Use an import and retargeting route supported by your animation tools; compatibility is untested. Review toe clearance, alternating foot contacts and knee height on the target character. Check the hands against the face and chest, then prepare the transitions into your chosen stationary guard or other movement separately.
 
Suitable Uses
Consider the motion for a boxing approach, a defensive character entrance or sports-scene previsualization. The consistent raised arms provide a clear visual cue while the legs remain active. A full-body view can show the footwork, while a closer camera emphasizes the maintained guard and the slight torso movement.
