In this video we break down the absolute basics of 1-on-1 defense so you stop getting turned and stay in control of the attacker.

You’ll learn:

• How to keep your hips up and strong the entire time

• How to use your right arm to control a right-handed attacker’s left arm

• How to use your free arm on the elbow, not on the ball

• Why reaching for the ball gets you turned, and how to make the attacker drop it instead

This is a short, simple drill you can use in almost every practice. Master this first, and all the other defensive skills will be much easier to build on top.
