summary
Taking a punch on your arm or glove when there is no time to move.
steps
- • For a hook to the head, lift the glove on that side and tuck the elbow in, so the arm takes it.
- • For a body shot, drop the elbow to your ribs. Do not drop the hand.
- • Brace the arm. A loose arm gets driven back into your own face.
- • Blocking is the fallback, not the plan — you still absorb the force.
