Grandmaster Wong closes the Boxer, ;posed by Donowan, and strikes him with leopard punches

Having learnt the various counters against the Boxer’s jabs and crosses, we can now progress to more realistic sparring with the Boxer. A good strategy is to close the Boxer, giving him little opportunity to counter-attack, and then strike him.

Instead of closing a Boxer, we can also open him to attack. Using the left hand to guard or pave the way, and the right hand to strike is an effective strategy.

A Boxer is not only fast, but he often uses feint moves. A good tactic is to cover his moves, irrespective of whether they are feint or real, thus preventing him from continuing his attack. Good body-movement and footwork are needed to implement this tactic successfully.a

At this early stage of our training, we limit a Boxer's attacks to jabs and crosses, which are his main techniques. Hooks and undercuts will be dealt with later.
