Block with your hands and
forearms, kept in front of your
head and body.

FEINTING, DRAWING,
SHELLING-UP AND
INFIGHTING
FEINTING
Feinting is a characteristic of the advanced boxer. It requires using the
eyes, hands, body and legs in a single effort to deceive the opponent,
to create openings.
1. ARM FEINTS: This includes simply appearing to punch a specific
area with one hand and then doing the opposite.
2.BODY FEINTS: This includes making various movements with the
body to check your opponent’s reaction, such as advancing quickly,
dropping your knees or pivoting your shoulders.
DRAWING
Drawing is similar to feinting. In feinting, an opening is created, while
in drawing, some part of the body or head is left unprotected in order to
entice the opponent into throwing a specific blow, so that a counter attack
can be executed.
SHELLING UP
This simply means to completely
cover your head and body so that no
vulnerable area is exposed. It is
especially effective when moving
an opponent to work off his chest
and cut off the punching room.
Your hands must be kept in front
of your head or a foul for butting
will be called.
