Catch. Counter. Control the fight.

What separates good strikers from the greats?

The best fighters in the world—whether it’s Canelo in Boxing, Raymond Daniels in Kickboxing, or Saenchai in Muay Thai—all have one thing in common:

👉 They don’t just defend. They catch and counter.

Every jab, cross, or kick they intercept instantly turns into an opportunity to fire back with precision and power. That’s why opponents feel like they’re fighting a wall—every attack gets shut down, punished, and used against them.

This course shows you how to develop that same skill set—so you can defend with confidence, frustrate attackers, and land devastating counters in your own training, sparring, and fights.



What You’ll Learn Inside the Course

  • Catch & Counter Basics – Learn the foundations of catching punches, kicks, and knees safely without taking damage.

  • Catch & Shoot Principles – How to transition instantly from defense to offense for maximum effect.

  • Boxing Applications – Classic hand traps, glove catches, parries, and immediate counters.

  • Kickboxing Applications – Defending round kicks, front kicks, and knees while firing back with precision.

  • Muay Thai Applications – Defending knees & elbows with immediate counter attacks

  • Pad Drills & Combos – Step-by-step partner and mitt drills to hardwire immediate counters into your game.


Who This Course Is For

🥊 Boxers who want airtight defense and fast counters
🥋 Kickboxers & Muay Thai fighters who want to catch kicks, knees & elbows and fire back with authority
🎯 Coaches & instructors looking to add fresh, effective drills to their sessions
🔥 Martial artists of all levels who want to sharpen timing, defense, and confidence


Why Learn Catch & Counter?

Most fighters focus only on offense. But the best in the world—Mayweather, Daniels, Saenchai—make their careers off catching and punishing mistakes.

By mastering these skills, you’ll:

  • Take less damage in sparring and fights

  • Gain the confidence to face aggressive opponents

  • Develop a reputation as someone very hard to hit

  • Always have an answer when your opponent attacks
