https://www.myboxingcoach.com - Running a loose defense at close range is quite often a one-way ticket to the canvas. When a referee says ‘Protect yourself at all times’ he really means it, especially when you are ‘in the pocket’. In this video I talk you through using your arms as shields to actively defend against incoming hooks. Economy of movement and being solid in ‘stopping’ the shot are key. There is absolutely no use having a loose and relaxed arm when trying to stop a power shot like a left hook. If your arm is not ‘solid’ then it is entirely likely that that the shock wave from the punch will still hurt a whole lot - especially to the body. Watch the incoming shot and ‘catch’ with that shield. After you have stopped the shot - shoot back! You can turn defense into attack and teach the guy a lesson in the process. This is all about simple tactics applied well - do the little things right and the big things (like winning the fight) look after themselves. Comments and questions always welcome. Cheers Fran
