Coaching Tip 4/09/06

You need to be agile and have lightning reflexes to develop good defence skills

A good boxer will also be able to anticipate his opponent's next attack.

A large part of a fight may be won by simply avoiding your opponent's punches and tiring him out without wasting energy yourself.

There are several ways to defend yourself from a punch:

· Sidestep
· Snap back
· Sway to one side
· Stop the punch with your forearm, shoulder or elbow
· Stop the punch with your glove
· Duck down
· Parry, or deflect to one side
· Cover up
