Similar to the Jab Tap, I learned this technique the hard way - glove to face in the ring.  I have to give you a little background - so bear with me.  You see, when I first started boxing, I tended to hold my hands just below eye level.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, but my trainer had a hay day with it.

In the beginning...

Being new to the sport, I didn't have the skill or reflexes to be able to bring my hands up to block what seemed like lightning bolt jabs coming from my trainer.  He easily came through my mixed stance type of defence - over and over again, I might add.

All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him.
