Defensive moves

Parry right against a head shot

Parries against head shots are small, sharp arm move-
ments that firmly tap and deflect jabs and straight
rights either inside or outside your opponent’s body
frame. Use the whole arm, not just a floppy wrist.

You can catch a jab (but
not a straight right) with
your right hand by
bracing right hand and
right leg over a pivoting
right foot.This is a sharp,
aggressive motion.
