I briefly spoke earlier about defense techniques. However, there are specific blocks that you can use to best offset your opponents' attacks. Today, I will be talking about the two most basic ones: the high front cover and the low left and right cover.
High Front Cover
Raise your forearms to head-level. Make sure your arms are far away enough that you have a good view of your opponent, but close enough to keep your opponent from reaching your head.
When to Use It:
In response to a straight punch to the head

Drop your elbow to your hip, using your forearm or cover to cover your body. Lean forward and hide as much as your face as you can while still maintaining eye contact with your opponent.
When to Use It:
In response to a punch at rib-level and hooks.
