italian_guy Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Slip or lateral deflection. I'm afraid that that block leave you opened for a front kick just above the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineapple Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I was trained in boxing to catch the jab with my right but I wouldn't want to try it without gloves on. STR33TGUY, Is that you in the photos? What works works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnieDaChin Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 nah, you can "catch" jabs like you said, pineapple, without gloves on- its not terribly difficult. as for "catch"ing it like a baseball... i wouldnt try that against anyone who knows how to punch at all. as for the second picture- yea, thats kind of what i meant by the forarm/elbow block only i usually dont just stick it right out there.

soul fighter Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 A catch in boxing is just a little smack on the punch It kinda redirects it a bit THE MASTER OF THE WORLD'S FINEST!!SOUL SONIC STYLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul fighter Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I block usually by just bringing up my glove or forearm Sometimes, I use a helmet defense THE MASTER OF THE WORLD'S FINEST!!SOUL SONIC STYLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamesu Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 ummmm, in an ideal circumstance; i use my rear guard hand(open at my chin,) to slap the jab toward opponents centerline, while stepping/weaving to opponents outside to counter. why this works for me= 1..most people i spar will shoot lead-jabs so quick they break the lead-guard-hand instantly, if im already preconcieved to block with my backhand and simultaniously counter with my lead, im in a more advantagous position. 2..once opponents punch has reached a certain distance the counter can be landed when opponent is offbalance due to 4ward lean. 3..jabs arent really powerfull enough to worry about blocking with both hands.........id be more worried about what follows the jab. 4..stop hits work wonders on even the hardest/quickest fighters.
