An effective technique is to deflect a Boxer's attack with one hand and counter-strike him with the other.

As a Boxer’s techniques are limited, it is technically easy to handle him. His main techniques are jabs, crosses, hooks and undercuts.

Our main tactics are to brush away his attacks, close him so that it is difficult for him to continue attacking, and strike him. When he tries to escape by bouncing away, we chase after him. Take note that we do not retreat. Retreating would give a Boxer initiative and advantages. You must remember that it is not enough just to know the techniques and tactics; you must also have the skills to carry out the techniques and tactics successfully.

So far, we have focused on jabs, crosses and hooks. Undercuts will be dealt with later. Please also take note that there are many other tactics to handle a Boxer competently, like kicking and felling him. We shall leave these other tactics to later lessons. Even the present tactics explained so far are sufficient to handle a Boxer competently.

Counter-Strike as Soon as Boxer Jabs

Now the Boxer is posed by Donovan. As soon as Donovan jabs, Grandmaster Wong effectively counter-strikes his throat or ribs. Of course, this calls for great skills. If the Boxer’s initial jabs are close, Grandmaster Wong first sinks his body to avoid the attacks before counter-striking.
