3 ways to take away your opponents jab:
1. Catch & shoot your own jab
2. Slip & throw your jab
3. Change levels, jab to the body
In boxing the jab is the most common punch you’re going to see no matter WHO you’re fighting. Yes, you can block the jab , but boxing is hit & not get hit. If you can get your shots off while being defensively responsible all the better. It’ll start having your opponent 2nd guess themselves allowing you to start working your combinations off the jab & determine the pace of the fight.
*Disclaimer: there are more ways to take away the jab, but these 3 are a good starting point.
