Picks - videos

The goal of this section is for you to master:

  • How to use picks the jab and the cross
  • How to counter after the pick (with the other hand)
  • How to counter after the pick (with the same hand)
  • How to drill picks both on pads and on gloves

It is very important not to deliberately miss the partner's face when going for the punch. Always aim for the chin because you will not be doing him a favor if you aim above him or to the side. Aim for the chin with enough speed but not with power. If you happen to hit him because he missed his pick - it will not hurt him.
