 Peek-a-boo's key principles are built upon the "Bad intentions" concept, which emphasize the D'amato philosophy.The general idea is that the Peek-a-boo practitioners are counterpunchers, who contrary to accustomed ways of counterpunching perceived as constantly backing-up and jabbing from the safe distance, move forward and do it with a lot of aggressiveness by constantly charging at the opponent, provoking him into throwing punches to counter, and subsequently into making mistakes to capitalize on, by creating openings and dominant angles of attack.Peek-a-boo boxing utilizes relaxed hands with the forearms in front of the face and the fist at nose-eye level.
