STOP HARD Punches with SIMPLE Interceptions

When we talk about self defense and how to defend a punch, the basic thing is, block or parry the punch and counter-attack. If the attacker keeps punching and you start blocking, how long are you going to block the punch? You will get hit eventually.

You think that you would step back and defend the punch. Guess what? The attacker can step forward, close the gap and keep punching. So stepping back might not work always. Let's talk about intercepting the punch.

Now when you see the attacker throwing a punch, you take action immediately. So you attack the attacker right away. If you are fast, you can hit the attacker before his punch land on your face. When you hit him first, you have the advantage. I talked about How Can You See The Punch Coming and Defend Yourself?. You can read this post to learn more about it.

Here you are not playing defend, you are in the offense. If you can intercept the attacker's punch, the attacker will think twice before making his next move. If he makes any move, you are already there to attack him.

When you intercept the punch, the attacker can throw another punch. You can still defend that and counter-attack. This is an advanced lesson. Let's watch this video.
