Hello everyone. Not sure where to look for this. What training excercises are available to avoid hooks and jabs? Currently we have been working on slips and basically dancing out of the way of slower attacks. Blocking is great as well, but i was wondering if there are any training excercises that could help increase either slipping, or simultaneous counters, and agility excercises we can do at home to avoid getting hit in the head. Post up your sparring experiences, what works for you guys, If you guys know of any threads or videos that would be great as well please post em up. Thank you all.

Ask Mr Ryan Hoover,He showed a covering move
that works in the oh shoot response.Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
This information is from Bas Rutten Systems.
Jabs defenses:
Moving out of way (cutting angles), slipping, catching a jab, inside defense and loading defense. Constantly change the defenses and don’t stick to just one. Counter using strikes and kicks.
The loading defense, Bas came up with this about 6 years ago and we have used it ever since in the system. In this video there is several pro fighters practicing our defense and counter – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCmoqVt6sws&feature=related
If done correctly, you have more than enough time to counter inside the other persons – left, right combination.
Hook defenses:
Blocking outside(think KM defense #3), moving back, ducking and last covering. The last two, we are not fans of. Do not rely on or using more than once or twice in a round.
There are just a lot of other defenses as well. The main thing is to drill the strikes and counters over and over again. They should become reflexive because you have practiced them over and over. If you have more specific questions, feel free to PM me.

Excellent advice. Bas’ system is well thought out and works pretty damn well. Damn I loved that class.

Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
Brent –
Wait until you see our new program(s). We should be finalizing everything up and releasing the material in the next few days.
Would be great to see you at one of the next courses again. Hope all is well.
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
Jeremy, I did get him a coffee. That’s why I got a break.
Oneness, I can’t wait. I only get 4 days off at a time now. Not quite enough for a full week of Bas.
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
Well then you are in luck my friend because it isn’t a full week! I designed it around the school owner… and cops =)
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
You, my little keg of dynamite, are awesome.
Wait… all of what i did last course but shorter??? Oh, that’s going to cause my head to pop, no rear naked choke needed.
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
Bawhahahaha!! Well thank you! I AM Swedish, seldom lit and very volatile with explosive potential so I can see the correlation!
Its a totally different course… and no, no rear naked choke. But it will have lots of everything we love about Bas Rutten and… well… All I can really say right now is “Join the Dutch Revolution”!! =)
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
The real key for something like this is working with a training partner with progressive resistance. But since you asked what you can do on your own, I highly suggest getting a double end bag and get very comfortable working with it while close. I like this one:
http://store.titleboxing.com/2indoubendba.htmlUsed correctly, they improve your head mobility- one of the passive defenses to avoid hooks and jabs is having a mobile head. They will also improve your striking of a moving target- I feel the better you are at attacking with a technique, the better understanding you will bring to the defense.
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
thank you guys for the advice, and the link, it makes alot of sense to not just do the same thing over and keep mixing it up as well. ill keep training and imply some of the concepts from bass’s video to catch(misdirect) and counter. Bobbing weaving to the outside is what we worked on on wednesday to the outside hand it was also another good technique to add to the arsenal (followed with a jab cross hook). Thank you all for the info.
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
the best defence against any punch hook or jab i have ever seen is the
” full rino ” take a look at it on youtube it is on around the 6 min mark ( 5 min 40 seconds to be exact )let me know what other people think of it please .
Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
franco, the technique you show looks like it may be effective for a single strike to the head. The problem I see with the technique is that you have effectively removed any possibility of a quick counter attack for one. Your hands are out of the fight. It seems like you are putting all your chips on the bet that the attacker will break his hand.
Also, you are leaving your body wide open. When I saw you do this, I immediately saw a GIANT red target on your liver saying, KNEE ME HARD. You should expect multiple strikes and you should go for the defense that will give you the most options for counter attack and is the safest. Bas’s techniques are the best I’VE seen and they are very close to what Krav Maga WW teaches for these reasons.Re: Avoidings hooks and Jabs
And putting this into a more self defense perspective, what if you aren’t really blocking a punch and the attacker has a weapon you didn’t see. The redirection and outside defense options give you not only a better defense with which to build an effective counterattack, but are also safer when you end up defending a weapon attack. And now we get into the white meat of Krav Maga. Why would I teach two techniques against a similar attack when I can teach one that will work in multiple scenarios.
