Slip the Taller Boxer&#8217;s Jab! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic and probably the best way to box a taller guy is to move forwards and slip the jab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drill this in practice &#8211; slip the jab <em>and counter<\/em> &#8211; it&#8217;s not enough just to slip the jab! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GQoQq0US8Gk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest way to slip a jab, is to move your head to the outside. If your opponent stands in orthodox stance (left foot forward), then slip your head to the right of the jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you slip your head down and forwards, you should be able to counter with your own jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/slipjab.gif?w=640\">https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/slipjab.gif?w=640<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are still out of range, you can step forwards with your back leg and jab again. Once you are in range, then unleash uppercuts, hooks, overhands and body shots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Jab to the Body<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A jab to the body can be an effective technique against a taller guy &#8211; aim for the heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be very careful when executing this technique however, you must bend your legs and lower your level and throw the jab straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you throw the jab downwards, you will expose your chin. So bend your legs first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Don&#8217;t Stalk &#8211; You Back Up &amp; Wait<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic way to fight against a taller guy is to walk forwards. But this isn&#8217;t always the best tactic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can frustrate and confuse a taller boxer, by making him come to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It then becomes a game of feints and counters. Make sure you have an effective jab-counter ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Use Feints &amp; stutter steps if he\/she is being cautious. You can even throw a feeler-jab yourself to make him open up with his own counter &#8211; then counter his counter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/infog_fighting_talleropponent.png?w=640\">https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/infog_fighting_talleropponent.png?w=640<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

The Step Through &amp; Blitz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Step Through, is called The Dart in MMA. You can pretty much double your reach by stepping forwards as you punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"349\" data-attachment-id=\"9014\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/2018\/04\/07\/why-every-mma-fighter-should-learn-to-fight-southpaw\/tjdillashawdart\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tjdillashawdart.gif?fit=677%2C349&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"677,349\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"TJDillashawDart\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tjdillashawdart.gif?fit=677%2C349&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tjdillashawdart.gif?resize=677%2C349&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9014\" \/><figcaption>Right lead &#8211; to left lead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can take this a step further by walking forwards as you punch. In MMA this is often called the Vitor Blitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be very cautious however. Over get a tiny fraction out of range with your standard jab before attempting a &#8220;Dart&#8221;. It&#8217;s very easy to counter if done too far out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Switching Stance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arguably under utilised in boxing &#8211; avoid a taller boxer from &#8216;timing&#8217; and reading your movement by switching up your stance. Learning to fight in both orthodox and southpaw stance can be a huge advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Bob &amp; Weave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Move forwards, with constant head movement by bobbing and weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"341\" height=\"250\" data-attachment-id=\"10280\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/mma-articles\/technique\/fighting-a-taller-opponent\/bobweave\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bobweave.gif?fit=341%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"341,250\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"bobweave\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bobweave.gif?fit=341%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bobweave.gif?resize=341%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10280\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to bob and weave until the taller boxer throws a punch, then counter with a 2 or 3 punch combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Use the layback &amp; Shoulder Roll<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In it&#8217;s simplest form, the layback involves, literally, leaning back out of range to avoid a jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, you&#8217;ll then &#8216;recoil&#8217; back into range to throw a counter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"455\" height=\"250\" data-attachment-id=\"9814\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/2018\/12\/20\/bjj-for-mma\/freegifmaker-me_2eghb\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/freegifmaker.me_2eghb.gif?fit=455%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"455,250\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"freegifmaker.me_2egHB\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/freegifmaker.me_2eghb.gif?fit=455%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/freegifmaker.me_2eghb.gif?resize=455%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9814\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FCiVNJ60RyA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=4&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.
