Countering the Right Cross...congrats to USA Women!
First...I send out congratulations to USA Women's soccer team; they rebounded nicely from a let down in the semi's (lost to Brazil) to post a solid win over Norway to take 3rd place in the recently concluded WWC...the strong side from Germany won it all by shutting out Brazil in the championship game. The Germans concluded the tournament without yielding a single goal! Still an awesome performance from USA Women's Soccer!................Now,on to countering your opponent's R cross! (1)shoulder roll= tuck your chin down behind your L shoulder as you "roll" your torso toward your right; the aim being his R cross will land harmlessly on your L shoulder. If kickboxing, you can round or side kick to opp. lead knee/ inside of thigh before punching back; if boxing, come back up with your own R-L-R combo after absorbing his blow......(2) bob & weave=bob to your R & weave under his blow (to your L) as you hit opp. in solar plexus with R, then come up with a L-R-L to opp. jaw......(3) insertions on the opp. R arm= you "zone" a half-step toward right & blunt opp. R cross by stopping his R shoulder/R bicep/R wrist with your Left hand...you can also hit opp. in the face with your L hand! Counterpunch immediately with your own R-L-R combination.....(4) parry & punch= parry opp. R cross with your L hand & hit him immediately with your own R cross, either to the body or to his jaw...follow up with 2-3 more punches/kicks to keep opp. on the defensive! You "zone" a half-step toward your left on this variation. That is enough to work on right now;I'm posting this during a break at work and it's getting harder to concentrate what with all the jibber-jabber going on around me! LOL
