Good.
Second one.
Yep,
get over there.
Good parry it. Yep.
Hi, my name is Glenn Holmes.
I'm the co-owner of the Box N Burn Academy.
The world's number one boxing fitness education
course, I'm also the founding trainer here at Box N' Burn in
Los Angeles.
Welcome to my YouTube channel.
All right.
So we're working on defending the body shot.
So, if I was throwing a left hook to the body,
her main priority right here is to catch it on the elbow at the
forearm area, right.
So it doesn't land on the ribs and do damage.
So that's number one, priority is the defense.
So let's just touch on the defense for a second.
Before we get to the counters,
she's going to drop into the power side a little bit.
I'm on my
non-dominant side, my left hook, she's orthodox versus Orthodox.
Here, she's dropping into that right side, making sure that
abs are tight as well, in case anything does slide through,
and just really keeping that elbow tight
to the rib cage, a common mistake with this, you'll see
the elbow kind of flare out and it leaves gaps to touch that
floating rib under there.
That's how you do damage with the punch.
So
most effective way to defend it, keep that elbow down glued to
the ribs and just a little
bend in the knee and drop into that right side.
And tighten up those abs and keep it about 60 percent weight
on that back foot.
Boom.
Right there.
Just drop in.
As soon as you see me goes, he drops and goes into the punch.
Boom!
And absorb that impact.
Now for the counters, the first option we're going to do.
Classic Floyd Mayweather style defense.
This is actually really difficult to pull off.
If you ever pull this off in a spar in a realistic fight
situation, then I would say you're a very highly skilled
boxer.
It's a little bit more unrealistic and it requires a
lot of time and in coordination but it's great for developing
your skill.
So we're going to catch and shoot from the same side.
So as soon as she's
caught that on the elbow, right side's
loaded up.
We're going to fight the uppercut boom!
straight away, and it's a catch and shoot, right?
So as soon as it's like I'm pressing a button to prompt her,
to throw the uppercut catch shoot, straight away, straight
in.
Catch shoot boom nice and sharp and effective with the uppercut
super powerful shot.
If you can land that in a realistic fight situation if
we're right here.
Boom.
Right on that chin.
I'm exposed.
Boom, right there.
Catch and shoot.
Okay.
Again catch and shoot
nice.
Again,
one more.
Good.
You hear the time on it.
One, two,
one, two.
So I met first priority.
Defend it elbow down.
Tighten the ribs get it, attacking the abs, get into it,
and then you load it up perfectly for that uppercut
coming back.
Okay.
So that's your first option catching and shooting on the
same side before I get to the second one on this catch and
shoot, I want to remind you to catch and shoot that SUBSCRIBE
button as well.

Alright, second one, so we're defending the body shot again.
I can't stress this enough.
Number one, priority on all this stuff is the defense first,
right?
So again, we're just touching that elbows.
The coach getting, if you just react, tighten up the abs and
drop into that right side.
The first one we did, we cut we catch and shoot on the same
side, this time, she's going to throw the left hook.
So if we break it down, if I came in for a left hook to the
body right here, she's loaded up on the right side.
So you might think like why would she throw a hook from
there if she's not on the left side?
Well, the goal of this show is to just try and catch me
as the opponent.
If my right glove was down because a common mistake if I
come in.
that body shot
and I shoot that.
We're looking for that, right glove to land it over that, right
glove and land that shot there.
It can be a really effective shot because I'm not expecting
it.
As I come into this side.
I'm not really prepared for that left
hook
even if I'm like tight on defense right here, boom, it's
still
going to deter me from throwing that shot if there's a shock
coming in as well.
So it's really good one just put just catching them coming in,
it might not always be a
knockout powerful punch because the weights not really loaded
up, but it could be in the sense that I'm not expecting it
to happen.
If we can land it on the template, could be a knockout
shot.
So with this one, it's the same exact technique for the defense
and then we're gonna bring that mitt back and she's going to
shoot the left hook this time, or the lead hook if you're right.
If you're a southpaw would be the right hook.
So it's the same timing catch and shoot straight away.
Catch, shoot good and see how she's leaning back into that up
that right side with that hook and really get in her head out
of range for any, any more punches coming in
good, and you see that?
Just hold the hook for a second.
See how far back can
into that back leg
she is that I was here, she's kind of out of
range and away from me,
which is a safe position to being in case, I was trying to
follow up that body shot and if I was trying to follow up that
body shot for the hook.
Boom, that's going to land
before
mine lands as well.
So it's just a great counter option off that body shot too.
So just catch.
Catch the body shot.
Shoot the hook.
Nice.
Good.
And then right back in after that
the right back to center.
Good.
And again,
good switch now
for defense.
So just to recap on these two options.
Number one, you catch and shoot it from the same side.
We catch the body
shot we throw the right uppercut again,
good, nice, and sharp quick-fire, boom, boom good.
The second one,
we throw the hook.
So we're catching on the right side shooting from the left side.
Good and again,
good.
Again
Good one more
good and you can hear the timing on that catch, shoot,
catch shoot, that's something you can work on as well, is the
rhythm of the defense
and the counterpunch. All right, so two options there, for the
body shot, both realistic to a fight scenario.
Try them out.
