Down Parry
Down parry is best used in straight jabs. If you’re not yet used to parrying a punch, it’s best that you use your dominant hand to be able to achieve better results. Bring up your hand near your face and your other hand on your side, slightly bent. If your opponent is punching you using his left hand, you should use your right hand to parry a punch. Once the opponent launches his punch, deflect it by tapping the hand downward. Then, if you can, deliver a blow using your left hand before your opponent gains his balance.
