LI: Learn the new 2 defence actions in boxing to develop an action that will protect you.

This week for Boxing, we needed to work with a partner to complete the defensive actions that Pax taught us in this session. Partner one needed guidelines and gloves, and partner two needed to handle a noodle. A cone was set in the middle and partner one and two had to face each other.

First we played a game where we had to snatch a cone before our partner did. In the 1st round, we sat close to the cone and needed to snatch it when Pax said go. We had to do the same thing nd we had to crawl as fast as possible. Then we had to make sure our bottoms stayed on the ground and we needed to face the wall and push off as fast as possible, then we got into the defence.

The first defence we did was when partner 1 had to get into rock position and partner 2 had to lower the noodle straight ahead for partner 1 to block. Partner 1 had to lift their hands up so that their face was covered and little space was left in the middle for partner 1 to peek out of.

The second Defence we learnt was called bridge. Partner 2 had to lower the noodle, a bit faster than before and partner 1 had to move backwards and stay in rock position. Partner 1 had to push off of their front foot and move their back leg, backwards more and they had to bring their front leg backwards.  Partner 2 also had to move forward when partner 1 (with the gloves) was moving backwards.
