Controlling the Opponent’s Lead Hand When Your weight is on the front foot.

Sodiq Yusuff uses his rear hand to control the opponent’s jabbing line when he enters into range. This will fit perfectly into your game because of your active lead hand.

The reads from this position are pretty simple, but its going to take practice and drilling to get it right:

  1. Opponent does nothing = You Jab or double jab

  2. Opponent hooks = You block with the rear hand, look to counter if hook touches your gloves.

  3. Opponent backs up = You low kick
