Blocking won't win a fight and you don't want to be on the defensive any longer than you have to. To start, you want to move into your attacker as you throw your arm up to shed the punch.\n\nBy moving forward you are able to \"take the weight off the punch.\" This simply means that by moving in you prevent your attacker from completing his weight shift or even block the arm before it is fully extended.\n\nOnce you are in close you must go to work quickly using your knees, elbows, and whatever other self-defense tools you have at your disposal. There is no perfect follow up sequence. The best thing to do is to act quickly and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/KLMVS\/ntbt-k.php?utm_campaign=JacovShed&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=0D4E9E9F&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">attack high-value targets<\/a>. You need to fire off strikes quickly so that your opponent doesn't have time to figure out what is going on.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>About Outside Shedding<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns right align-to-p img\">\n\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/shedding-pt2.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nThe outside shedding technique shown at the end of the video is a bit more difficult to execute. Luckily most guys you may come up against on the street will be leading off with a right haymaker, not a straight punch.\n\nYou must be aware, however, that <em>the inside shedding technique will not work for a straight punch<\/em>.\n\nThe only real way to learn to predict what punch is coming to do some full speed training with proper protective gear where you don't know what your partner is going to do.\n<p id=\"read-more-link\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/ar\/FF-k.php?utm_campaign=JacovShed&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=0D4E9E9F&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">Click here for more Krav Maga training by Jacov Bressler!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Effective Defense This shedding self-defense technique is a very simple block that will serve you well if your attacker manages to fire one off before you get a chance to strike first.
