What sort of things do you guys think I could do to get into better habits between going to practices? And specifically, what's the idea movement to block a jab?
I'm specifically talking about putting my guard up here; I know how to back out, slip, bob and weave, but where I'm going now we're encouraged to always keep our ground, put our guard up and get used to feeling them on our arms. |
a ideal way of blocking a jab, would be using a palm block, slip, shoulder block or parry. It all depends on the circumstances. But practices these blocks regularly and they'll come naturally in the ring. But always practice to block and counter. That i've found works best.
