COUNTER JAB
หมัดสวน
Slip outside the opponent's jab and fire your own jab down the same line. The defensive slip takes your head off the centerline while your jab travels straight back on the line your opponent just vacated. Timing is everything — too early and you fall short, too late and you eat the punch. This is the counter that neutralizes pressure jabbers and rewards defensive composure.
