How to practice

1. Identify the partner's two favorite counters during a slow scouting round.
2. Enter behind a high guard with your chin down, hands home, and your exit step already planned.
3. Use the step-off entry: come in at a 45-degree angle so their favorite counter fires at air.
4. Punch once or twice, then exit behind your shoulder - never admire your work in range.
5. Finish live rounds where you lose a point for every counter you eat on entry.
