Right jab vs. Right cross

[Youngblood]

There is a punch I've been working on, and ironically learned it off an MMA guy who comes to out gym for stand up. When you mention reaching, this is mostly when my right would score, overhand, or maybe off a combo. But not ever really in close. This guy last time we sparred kept catching me with this short fight hand. Often off nothing other then a block or parry. Hurt like hell and was effective.

So been practicing it, off the block and parry. Soon as the block or parry is made, all in one moton, usually with your body turning to the right, quick step back left short straight right, turning it over quickly. In turn, been just nailing anyone I spar with it lately. Has a lot of snap and as it comes off a defensive move, is great for in close.

A bit off track and maybe more of a cross, but not really set up as a standard cross.

So as you parry an incoming jab, your body is turning to the right- kind of like a shoulder roll- while you are swatting away the punch with your right glove. Then immediatly you turn your body back left with a quick step and a short right hand.

I'm going to try this. I always have trouble with the standard parry/counter right. I guess the key to this one is to be in close also.
