Body Shot Defense Basics – How to Protect Yourself in the Pocket ! NUDDA | Dirty Boxing Part 1

Body shots can end a fight fast if you don’t know how to handle them. In this first part of a two-part series, I break down the basics of body shot defense in dirty boxing and close-range fighting. I’m not showing the full NUDDA X-Guard transitions yet — this video is all about building the right mentality and learning the fundamental ways to protect your body in the pocket using solid structure. We cover: • The correct mindset when body shots are coming • Basic blocking and positioning principles • Why fundamentals (boxing + Muay Thai) must come first In Part 2 I’ll show you exactly how we integrate this with the NUDDA X-Guard and turn defense into counters. This is practical, no-BS training for the average serious man who wants real skills when things get ugly in the pocket — not just flashy moves. Drop “BODY SHOT” in the comments and tell me what you struggle with most when it comes to body shots. Part 2 drops either next week or the week after.
