In this section of the video, Coach Anthony and professional fighter Fast Eddie Chambers discuss the four lines of defense in boxing. The first line of defense is blocking punches, which is simple and effective but comes with feeling impact. The second line of defense is upper body movement or head movement, which helps you evade punches without feeling the impact, but is more advanced and can be dangerous if timed wrong. The third line of defense is footwork, which helps you get away from punches, but can also test your conditioning and make it harder to counter punch. The fourth line of defense, the bonus tip, is offense, as your offense can be your best defense by keeping your opponent honest.
