@thedream1901: How to close the distance effectively There are several ways to do it. Use the jab: Throw a jab while stepping forward to occupy your opponent's attention and gain ground. Use feints: Make your opponent react to a fake jab or movement, then enter while they are distracted or out of position. Slip and step: Move your head off the centre line as you advance, particularly when anticipating a jab. Control the lead hand: Parry or occupy your opponent's lead hand to help create an opening to enter. Cut off the ring: Move diagonally to restrict your opponent's escape routes rather than chasing them in a straight line. Use explosive footwork: Cover the distance with a controlled step or shuffle while maintaining balance and a position to punch. #foryoupage #boxingtok #boxing #sparring #distance
