Defence and Counters

Defence is only half a skill. Every technique here is taught with the punch that follows it, because blocking without answering just means you get hit later instead of now.

What you will be able to do

  • Pick the right defence for each family of punch
  • Move your head without moving your feet out of position
  • Counter from the defensive position rather than resetting first
  • Stay defensively sound while throwing
