Jab, Lean Back (Pull Counter Defense) to 1-2-1 Forward Rush

Throw a lead jab, lean back at the waist to make the opponent's counter punch miss, then immediately step forward driving a rhythmic 1-2-1 combination to close the distance. Key points: - Lean back just enough to clear the incoming counter shot - Step forward aggressively with the feet while firing the 1-2-1 - Keep the rhythm crisp ('pop-pop-pop') while cutting down the distance Common mistakes: Leaning back too far off balance or throwing punches with static feet while advancing.
