What we are practicing her is called "parrying" "measuring" and "stopping" in boxing, "checking" in stick-fighting and is a foundational concept to Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun often called "trapping."
If you want to learn how to take a punch, the first step is to learn how to relax doing these parrying and checking and goon surfing drills.
I intentionally ambushed Dennis here so you can see the difference between someone who has never done it and someone who has it down, and chart your progression between Dennis and My levels of training.
Thanks Dennis for being a sport!
