INSIDE DEFENSE AGAINST LEFT-RIGHT

COMBINATION (LEAN BACK AND

TRAP)

Defenses

The left-right punching combination is so common that fighters will often employ
it over and over again, creating a rhythm of which they are unaware. Good
fighters should notice and exploit this. The punch can be presented in two
scenarios: either when the defender is surprised by the attack, or the defender
sets up the attacker. Since setting up the attacker is the easier version, we’ll deal

with the scenario of complete surprise first.

STARTING POSITION: Left-leg-forward fighting stance, facing an opponent.

1. As the left punch comes, lean away from your attacker to avoid the left punch.
