Step 1
Stay in form. Remain in your guarded stance with hands up in whatever kind of defensive stance you like to use. Keep eye contact with your opponent, rather than focusing on your opponent's hands. Posting one leg slightly in front of the other gives you a better means of ducking under the punch.

Step 2
Start to bend as your opponent punches. The moment you see your opponent go for the punch you should begin to bend at the knees. Keep your waist straight so you are able to watch your opponent and throw body punches if needed.

Step 3
Swing from inside to out. As you duck down from you knees, start to make a half circle with your body so you can duck below the punch, move to the side and pop back up again ready to attack. Whatever the punch is, swing from the inside (the center of your opponent's body) to the outside.

Step 4
Counterattack your opponent. You can throw body punches against your opponent while you are in your lowered position. Alternatively, pop back up and throw head shots to your opponent before he can bring his hand back to a defensive position. The key is to move quickly and stay light on your toes in case your opponent throws a combo, in which case you need to duck and swing in the opposite direction to avoid the hit.
