Hands
Boxers use their arms to stop incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. Boxers have many stances to choose from. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance

A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
