At Cult Tardeo, we train the subtle head movements, slips, and range control that turn your defense into your greatest offensive weapon. It is about reading your opponent and forcing them to make the mistake first. Defense is a game of patience and precision. If you are constantly getting caught, it is usually because your feet are static or your head position is predictable. In these sessions, we break down defensive fundamentals into manageable parts. We use resistance band drills to teach you how to feel range, ensuring you stay in the pocket without being vulnerable. We also focus heavily on the swing, learning to move in and out, and turning a defensive slip into a counter-attack. This is not about mindless movement. It is about understanding where your chin needs to be and how to keep your hands tight. Whether you are prepping for amateur points or pro endurance, these drills build the muscle memory required to stay safe under pressure. We train at the Cult Tardeo facility, where we have the space to drill these movements until they become second nature. ## About Tejas Patekar I do not just teach you how to throw a punch, I teach you how to think in the ring.
