When training my clients, I like to introduce technical sparring into the sessions. This involves one boxer being nominated the “jabber” he will be the instigator. The other boxer will be the “defender” he can only hit to the head as a counter from the “jabbers” jab – Both can hit to the body at anytime. I use this to encourage good defensive habits – good parrying, good movement (both body and head).

Here is a little demonstration of Piam and Ian having a quick technical sparring round – Down at the Southbourne Gym.
