Which comes first offence or defense?

Punching technique and how to move your feet. When you train defense, you always train with the counter so you have to know how to punch and move your feet.
And many defensive moves are the exact same move as throwing a particular punch. The inside slip is the same as throwing a straight right; the outside is the same as throwing a left hook.

I agree with learning to move the feet first, that's definitely a priority. But in my opinion learning to punch ideally comes after developing the basics of footwork and being taught how to move the head using the legs and hips. Basically get the lower body right, then add in the punches. Learn from the ground up.
