Boxing Tips - Defensive Inside Fighting - Left SIde

http://www.myboxingcoach.com - The boxing tips that you get within this video will help you become a deadly exponent of fighting on the inside. Successful infighting demands a variety of skills from short range punching, subtle footwork, even more subtle upper body movements and as importantly as anything an ability to block incoming punches with your arms. When up close, fighting on the inside, the shots that are used are short and medium range hooks and uppercuts. Upper body movement is effective, but because the punches being thrown are travelling such a short distance (if they are being thrown correctly that is) the best method of defense is to use arm blocks. The reason that arm blocks are most suited during inside fighting is that they require minimal movement; allowing the defender to always create attacking options.

This video covers blocking hooks coming in to your left side (left side as an orthodox boxer that is). The blocking defensive technique described in this video is similar in principle to Knights of old using a shield as an integral part of their fighting approach, combining it with the sword in the same way that the boxer combines the block with devastating short and mid-range hooks and uppercuts!

Boxing tips on something like blocking punches during inside fighting are invaluable as they often are overlooked in favour of the more flashy skills. In my mind though, blocking punches in this manner perfectly defines the essence of boxing; standing up to withering incoming hooks and meeting fire with fire, always looking to create and attack openings. As if all of this wasn't enough, this block is equally effective against punches directed at the head or at the body; dual purpose, simple and effective. Enjoy the videos and as always leave your comments!

A valuable video to share. A really well balanced defense from minimum effort.

I can see how this allows you to stay focused, maintain your stance and be ready counter. Simple too, but the best things normally are.

Small movements that have a big effect are the true art of boxing.

I've learnt something today.

Thanks for that..
