@hennesseyry93: STOP getting HIT AFTER you PUNCH 🥊 Just because you've thrown your punches doesn't mean your opponent is going to let you finish on the attack. One of the biggest mistakes I see is people throwing their shots and then standing there waiting for what's coming back. EVERY punch needs an exit strategy. Here are 4 ways to stay defensively responsible 👇🏻 1️⃣ JAB → SLIP Throw your jab and anticipate the orthodox jab coming back. Take your head off the centre line with a small slip. You don't need exaggerated movement to make a straight punch miss. 2️⃣ 1-2 → SLIP BACK After your jab-cross, anticipate the orthodox cross. Slip back out of the firing line, creating enough distance for the right hand to fall short without completely giving up your position. 3️⃣ 1-2-3 → ROLL & PIVOT Finish your combination with the lead hook and anticipate their left hook coming back. Roll underneath it, then pivot round to face up. You're not just avoiding the punch. You're making sure you're no longer standing directly in front of them. 4️⃣ 1-4 → ROLL LEFT After the jab and rear hook, anticipate the orthodox right hook or cross. Stay compact, bend through the knees and roll underneath the returning shot to change the punch lane. Keep your eyes up, chin down and your feet underneath you so you're ready for whatever comes next. The important thing here isn't memorising the separate movements. It's understanding that your opponent is ALWAYS looking for an opportunity to fire back. Don't throw your punches and admire your work. ANTICIPATE the return. DEFEND the threat. Stay in POSITION to fire back 💯 Be defensively responsible after EVERY punch 🥊 #boxing #learntobox #boxingcoach #boxingtips #boxingdefence boxingtraining
