The skilled boxer is an opponent to be reckoned with, and a technically correct punch is a great way to successfully deal with someone attacking you. Punching is not all about using the hand effectively. A proper punch uses the whole body to transfer power to the strike, and is executed with a sharp and precise movement.
The book offers technical tips for both throwing effective punches and countering an opponent's punches. Divided into easy-to-understand steps and clearly illustrated, it teaches realistic techniques that anyone can learn and apply.
• Attack and defend with hands.
• Direct, crochet and straight punches.
• Posture, guard position, breathing and movement.
• Deflect, dodge and counterattack.
