Defense Moves (Continued)

In this post, I will be speaking about more defensive moves. These are more advanced and require more practice, but work well in response to opponents' attacks.

Hook and Cover
Step back with your rear foot and use your rear hand to catch the jab. Keep your hand up in a defensive position, making sure to keep your face protected.
When to Use It:
In response to a jab
