Body Shots

[Black_Dragon]

My friends and I were sparring and practiced only body shots, and he came in as a guy a couple weight classes above me, he got rlly close and continously went for kidney shots how do i defend and counter that without countering to the head?

Why are you letting someone hit you in the kidneys or attempting too?

Not trying to be rude but that sounds pretty unsafe

not that I was letting them but all the counters i could've done after blocking were to the head. It was only a few hits and they apologized but it made me open my eyes about how the art changed when given a certain target yk.

I get what you are saying.

So normally you punch a fool in the skull they bring their hand to block and that opens up the body shot.

Or vica versa

But now you are not allowed to.

So you do the same trick but horizontally. Punch the kidney they block. Cut a big angle and punch them in the solar plexus.

Or reach across hook their elbows lift it out of the way and punch their ribs.

Muay Thai long guard, with your extended lead hand covering their eyes, with your thumb down. Then hollow out your core and hip away just enough to make yourself hard to reach with body shots.
