Boxing class 11/24/09

Nothing special today. We did some counters for the jab and for the cross, involving footwork, head-slips, parries, and jab-or-cross returns. My favorite was essentially the Bloody Cross from Hajime no Ippo. The cross comes, and you move outside, jab over it, knock the arm down with your elbow, and hit them with your cross clean.

Most of the outside slip-attacks were to the body. Kevin's favorite, and one I can definitely get behind, was slipping the right cross to the opponent's outside and then delivering a cross to the opponent's right ribcage. Apparently the extension of that ribcage makes it, and the liver, very vulnerable. I don't know firsthand this time.
