When catching their jab keep your hand close to its gaurd position. If you reach out to catch it your opponent will have been given opening to counter.

Another way to block is to use leverage. Imagine that your opponent jabs, you use your right right hand as a lever driving it forward and slightly upwards, pushing their arm sideways to the outside. Your elbow should be straightened out at the moment of contact, while turning your palm to the outside. It takes quite bit of force to do this it's a move worth practicing well. Keep your chin slightly in while doing this move.

I got stuff to do, but I'll more than happy going over the rest later.
So i should catch my opponents left jabs with my rear left hand?
with your right, your body will be in the perfect position for a solid right jab, you will have made an opening, your left will be free to guard against a right and they won't be fast enough to get the left back in and fire it back out!
