Sparring Drill

• Start with the left leg forward in sparring stance at punching distance.

• One partner does a jab to head, cross to solar plexus then rear leg turning kick to the floating ribs.

• Other partner deflects the jab (closing), deflects the cross (closing) then does guarding block against the turning kick (don’t block turning kick with your elbow).

• Then alternate and keep repeating back and forth.

• Also practice starting with right leg forward to develop both sides equally.

• Can also practice with low turning kick to thigh, defend either with shin guard or by tensing quads – do light contact at this level.
