In his most recent blog Engage Athlete and UFC fighter Brad Riddell went over parrying as an orthodox fighter. This week, he will go over the details of parrying as a southpaw fighter and a few drills. One of the most overlooked aspects of fundamental jab defence is the parry. A parry not only stops a punch from reaching its destination, but it also breaks down the rhythm of a potential combination as well as momentarily breaks down the defence of the fighter throwing it.
