Fighting With A Boxer - Self Defense

If you fight with someone who is good at boxing, you can find it challenging. You see that the straight punch, uppercut, hook, and jab keep coming. You are defending some punches, but he continues punching. So how long are you going to defend that?

To defend against punches, you step backward. Will it work? Well, you can step back and make some distance between you and your opponent. A boxer is good at footwork. He will immediately close the gap. And you will see the punch land on your face.

Sometimes you have to defend such a way that it is not a defense; it works as an attack. You can hit his hand with your elbow. This is going to be very painful. And guess what? If you are outside and fight for self defense, most probably the guy will not wear gloves. So he will get hurt with the elbow strike.

When you defend a punch with an elbow strike, you have to be good at timing. If you do it fast or slow, it might not work, and you will get hit. So this is a downside. You have to be careful.

Don't just parry or block, start a counter-attack. When you attack, the guy will think twice to make his next move because if he punches, you are going to attack him again. Attacking is the best defense based on the situation.

People usually punch on the street. So if you know how to deal with that, that's better. A professional boxer can change his moves while fighting, so you have to adapt to your opponent and make your moves. If you learn to adapt, you will always be unbeatable.
