Using The Wedge Block - Improve Your Boxing Defense with this Boxing Partner Drill!
Using The Wedge Block - Improve Your Boxing Defense with this Boxing Partner Drill! Tom Yankello of the @WorldClassBoxingChannel presents a partner drill that uses the wedge block, rolls, slips and weaves. Tom shows you how to use the wedge block while being in the philly stance. Tom explains why the wedge block is so productive. He shows how it is harder to move your arm left and right than it is up and down which is why the wedge block is more effective as it is a smoother move. Tom shows how your hand positioning is when using the philly stance which makes using the wedge block effective as it creates less transitioning. To do the partner drill, you are in the philly shell position. Your partner throws a jab to your head, you wedge block that jab up, then the partner throws a jab to your body and you wedge block down, then throws a right hand at your head where you wedge block up again. Then he throws a hook at you that you block. Then he throws another right hand at you and you shoulder roll it. This is a great drill that teaches you how to use a bunch of different boxing defenses.
