Q. Which boxing defense technique in which a boxer uses his/her shoulder, hands, or arms as defensive tools to protect against incoming attacks?
Answer: Blocking
Notes: Parrying or blocking uses the boxer's shoulder, hands or arms as defensive tools to protect against incoming attacks. A block generally receives a punch while a parry tends to deflect it. A "palm", "catch", or "cuff" is a defence which intentionally takes the incoming punch on the palm portion of the defender's glove.
