http://www.myboxingcoach.com - This defensive action is one of the most common boxing techniques that you see used during a boxing match. There is of course a very simple reason for the regularity with which boxers use this defence - it works. Boxers generally speaking don’t like to complicate things :-) The double arm block, also known as ‘covering-up’, is more than a simple boxing defence. It is actually a very effective tool for moving into range with relative safety and smashing home big shots. Don’t be fooled into believing that the double arm block or covering up is almost an act of surrender, nor should it be used as something to ‘hide behind’. When used alongside other boxing techniques, such as the defensive inside fighting blocks, and the full range of punches you can quite easily dominate any opponent no matter their strength or level of aggression. If you want a really strong and effective boxing defence, make sure that you understand how and why we use the double arm block. It’s not a passive, weak defence. On the contrary, the double arm block is one of the core, reactive boxing techniques in any situation where you need to advance quickly and safely.
