10.2 / Sample drill / Combo (double jab) versus
different defensive moves (parry and inside slip).
10.3 Partner counter drill
A boxer learns to throw single punches and combina-
tions of punches. He learns to defend against single
punches and combinations of punches.What comes
next is the fine art of countering — hitting back after
defending against a single punch or a combination of
punches.
Just as every punch can be thwarted with an appro-
priate defensive move, there is an appropriate set of
counters to use after that defensive move. Building on
the same example above, if Boxer A throws a double
jab, and Boxer B defends with a parry right and an
inside slip, Boxer B is positioned to counter with a
straight right or a left hook.
