THE BASIC (ORTHODOX) STANCE
Legs -Shoulder width stance, light on feet,
back heel up
-Provides flexibility and stability
Arms -Fists protect chin, arms protect sides
-When punching, other hand stays back to guard
DEFENSIVE VOCABULARY
Block/Cover up
Slip
Bob and Weave
Footwork
Clinching
second
SLIP
Slipping rotates the body slightly so
that an incoming punch passes
harmlessly next to the head.
As the opponent's punch arrives,
the boxer sharply rotates the hips
and shoulders.
This turns the chin sideways and
allows the punch to "slip" past.
Muhammad Ali was famous for
extremely fast and close slips, as
was an early Mike Tyson.

DEFENCE CONT..
Sway or fade – To anticipate a
punch and move the upper body
or head back so that it misses
or has its force appreciably
lessened. Also called "rolling
with the punch" or " Riding The
Punch".
Duck or break – To drop
down with the back straight so
that a punch aimed at the head
glances or misses entirely.

BOBBING
Bobbing moves the head laterally and beneath an incoming punch.
As the opponent's punch arrives, the boxer bends the legs quickly and simultaneously shifts the body either slightly right or left.
Once the punch has been evaded, the boxer "weaves" back to an upright position, emerging on either the outside or inside of the opponent's still-extended arm.
To move outside the opponent's extended arm is called "bobbing to the outside".
To move inside the opponent's extended arm is called "bobbing to the inside".
Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey, Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano were masters of bobbing and weaving.

PARRY/BLOCK
Parrying or blocking uses the
boxer's shoulder, hands or arms
as defensive tools to protect
against incoming attacks.
A block generally receives a
punch while a parry tends to
deflect it.
A "palm", "catch", or "cuff" is a
defense which intentionally
takes the incoming punch on the
palm portion of the defender's
glove.

THE COVER-UP
Covering up is the last opportunity (other than rolling with a punch) to avoid an incoming strike to an unprotected face or body.
Generally speaking, the hands are held high to protect the head and chin and the forearms are tucked against the torso to impede body shots.
When protecting the body, the boxer rotates the hips and lets incoming punches "roll" off the guard.
To protect the head, the boxer presses both fists against the front of the face with the forearms parallel and facing outwards.
This type of guard is weak against attacks from below.

CLINCHING
Clinching is a form of trapping or a rough form of grappling and occurs when the distance between both fighters has closed and straight punches cannot be employed.
In this situation, the boxer attempts to hold or "tie up" the opponent's hands so he is unable to throw hooks or uppercuts.
To perform a clinch, the boxer loops both hands around the outside of the opponent's shoulders, scooping back under the forearms to grasp the opponent's arms tightly against his own body.
In this position, the opponent's arms are pinned and cannot be used to attack.
Clinching is a temporary match state and is quickly dissipated by the referee.
Clinching is technically against the rules, and in amateur fights points are deducted fairly quickly for it.
It is unlikely, however, to see points deducted for a clinch in professional boxing.

THE BASIC PUNCHES Jab
Cross (or Straight)
Hook
Uppercut
These four punches, although not unique, are the tried and true staple tools in every boxer’s arsenal.
THE JAB
Quick snapping punch with the lead hand
Fast enough to avoid gaps for counter-punches
Usually used to gauge distance or set up power punches
THE CROSS Most straightforward of the power punches
Thrown from the chin, across the body
Slower but more powerful than a jab
THE HOOK A compact punch thrown from the side of the head
Perfect for power punches to body or head, depending on guard
Good follow up to the straight, 1-2-3
THE UPPERCUT Thrown from the hip, meant to get under a high guard
Good after a jab, especially to the head
Don't drop your hand!
FOULS
boxers are prohibited from hitting below the belt, holding, tripping, pushing, biting, or spitting.
The boxer's shorts are raised so the opponent is not allowed to hit to the groin area with intent to cause pain or injury.
They also are prohibited from kicking, head-butting, or hitting with any part of the arm other than the knuckles of a closed fist (including hitting with the elbow, shoulder or forearm, as well as with open gloves, the wrist, the inside, back or side of the hand).
They are prohibited as well from hitting the back, back of the head or neck (called a "rabbit-punch") or the kidneys.
They are prohibited from holding the ropes for support when punching, holding an opponent while punching, or ducking below the belt of their opponent (dropping below the waist of your opponent, no matter the distance between).
Failure to abide by the former may result in a foul.
