Defense against high

roundhouse

kicks with shoulder, forearm or glove backside cover-up.

The defense against right high kick technique. In the fighting stance, the boxer draws up left shoulder to cover the chin. He presses the downside of the left glove to the side of his head. This way he protects the head from the side with a glove, the elbow and the forearm.

Specification. Often, the judges do not consider forearm and arm defense to be a defense, thus the opponent’s kick is fully counted. Though there are more vulnerable places on the body, several good kicks can be enough for the opponent to not be able to defend himself with “beaten” forearms or punch with “beaten” hands.
