Technique Breakdown
Catching is an important part of every combat sports athlete's arsenal. It is difficult to pull off in MMA due to the surface area of the 4oz gloves, but in kickboxing, muay thai, and boxing, catching is a viable defensive option. Only the most tenured coaches across combat sports have adapted this into their general playbook.
Using my own sparring footage as an example, this breakdown is informative and entertaining! Catching is a defensive tactic used to neutralize punches, as well as to provide counter opportunities. Floyd Mayweather, Archie Moore, and Tim Witherspoon all were masters at catching the shot. In this minute-long breakdown, you will learn how to effectively catch and counter straight punches from your opponent, as well as how to position yourself defensively to create a strong offensive base.
