LI: to learn counterattacks
This week for Kiwisport our main task was to learn counterattacks. In each counterattack we learned, it involved one of the ways of defence we've learned. But before we learned any we played Stuck in the Mud. So we had four taggers, tagging people with noodles. If you get tagged you can only get freed by someone going under your legs. But they cannot tag you or the person trying to free you at the process.

Next we learned our first counterattack which was Guard, then jab cross. We did this with a partner, and one person had noodles, the other was with gloves. So the boxer in the pair had to avoid being hit by the noodle by guarding, then countering by jab, cross.

Our second counterattack involved another way of defence. We used the Slip, so if we dodged to the right we would counter with a cross. If we dodged to the left we would counter with a left hook. So the partner had to hit us at the left or right with one noodle and we would have to counter back hitting the other noodle they were holding.

On our third counterattack we had to bridge, which was moving back to dodge an attack. But once we move back we would be to far to attack so we had to move forward then attack with a cross, left hook then cross again.

Lastly on our last counterattack we used the U - roll. Our partner with the noodles, put both of the noodles on one shoulder, and then the boxer had to roll under then uppercut.
