IT IS EASY TO FIGHT AGAINST BOXERS

The Tiger-Tail Kick is an excellent counter against a Boxer

Many people find it hard to fight a Boxer because of his fast punches. Indeed, trying to block his punches may result in a Boxer raining punches onto you.

But it is actually easy to fight a Boxer — if you know how. A Boxer has many disadvantages compared to a Shaolin exponent. A Boxer has very limited techniques, which means not only he is limited in his range of attack, but also if you attack him using techniques outside his repertoire he often does not know what to do.

In this video series Molly and Steve show how they can effectively handle Boxers. Molly and Steve use techniques from their Tiger-Crane Set and Dragon-Tiger Set respectively.

Excellent Counter against Fast Punches

“shaolin

How would you counter the fast punches of a Boxer. Molly, who specializes in the Tiger-Crane Set, shows an excellent example. As a Boxer attacks you, just lean back and execute a Tiger-Tail Kick. This counter can be used against any attacks of a Boxer!

Covering a Boxer as you Strike him

“shaolin

After kicking a Boxer and putting him in a daze even for a second, you should continue your counter attacks. But it is very important to cover his hands as you further strike him so that he can not strike back.

Better Control of the Opponent

“shaolin

Grandmaster Wong shows a better way to control an opponent by using the pattern “Hungry Tiger Catches Goat”. Even better control can be attained by using the pattern “Fierce Tiger Crouches on Ground”.

Fierce Tiger Descends Mountain

“shaolin

Molly uses another Tiger pattern, “Fierce Tiger Descends Mountain”, to control a Boxer. Grandmaster Wong suggests that she can press the opponent onto the ground.

Cannon Punch Towards the Sky

“shaolin

Steve demonstrates using “Cannon Punch Towards the Sky” to counter a Boxer's attack. This pattern is taken from his specialized “Dragon-Tiger Set. Grandmaster Wong reminds Steve that a Boxer is very agile.

Forcing a Boxer into a Helpless Position

“shaolin

Steve improves his counter-attack on the Boxer, posed by Andy, by moving onto the Boxer's back and getting him onto the ground. Steve attacks with “Chop the Hua Mountain”. It appears the Boxer is quite helpless in such a situation.
