If you defend a jab by parrying it with you left hand, orthodox against orthodox fighter, expect a right hand incoming right behind it.

I would not recommend doing that, unless you enjoy being punched in your face.

Why not 10 ways... it had to be 11 ways?..........Rockin'

That is the rule I learned too, Rockin’. Never parry across your body with the opposite hand.

But if you understand the rules and know why you are breaking them and know where to expect the danger from when you do…then there can be a use for such techniques that are not traditionally “by the book.”

I've been trying to think of what one could work off of that and continue to come up with nothing.

What can you work off of parrying an orthadox jab with your left hand as an orthodox boxer?

Well, what if you’ve been working on a real slick combination in the gym to use as counter to a right hand? But the guy you’re fighting is being very cautious and won’t throw it enough.

So you start blocking his jab with a cross parry. In hopes that you can bait and coax him to start throwing that right hand, which you will be ready and waiting for.

That's a good point.

I have to run out for few.

I'm back and could think of nothing that you could work off of that.

Your opponents right hand would get there before yours ever would.

Unless you were to turn that parry in to a roll and counter with your right hand. Of course, only after parrying the jab.

You'd have to be pretty slick to pull that off doe....................Rockin'

Funny you should say that. It’s a perfect setup for a roll and counter.

A good feint would throw wrenches into that motor doe.

Nothing was thrown and now your glove is across your body.

Feint and immediately come in hard with the right...............Rockin'
