When you parry a punch, you deflect the incoming force of a
punch away from you. Without reaching toward the punch,

you want to create just enough tension in your arm to
prevent the impact of the punch from changing the inner
angle of your elbow. Additionally, rotate your wrist so that
the palm of your hand parries the punch downward and

away from your face. You can make this more challenging by
adding steps, pivoting, circling, and counterpunches to your
parries. Practice the parries below:

Parry with the rear hand and counter with a jab

Parry with the lead hand and counter with a cross

Parry with the lead hand and pivot to the left

Parry with the right hand pivoting to the right

Level Changing

Think about how difficult it is to hit a moving target. Boxing
utilizes movement as a method to help maneuver a moving
target to a desired position for an offensive attack and to
create an elusive form of defense.
