Parry (Inside Deflection)

Parrying Straight Punches

Using the palm or forearm to deflect straight punches to the side. Don't over parry as it leaves you open to follow up punches. Use only the necessary amount of motion to redirect the punch.

Though nothing is written in stone, you generally want to use the hand which is on the outside of the opponents punch as it leaves you less susceptible to a follow up strike from the opposite hand. So parry opponents right hand with your left hand. Parry opponents left hand with your right.

You can also use your forearms or elbows to parry straight punches to the body.
