Slipping Punches Like a Boxing Demon!

http://www.myboxingcoach.com - Slipping punches offers a world of opportunity in terms of making an opponent miss and creating killer openings. By definition, when a boxer successfully slips a punch, you are within range to land any of a battery of your own shots. By continually slipping punches, ducking punches and rolling (or the bob and weave) during a boxing match you make it very difficult for an opponent to target your head. Slipping punches also acts as a feint or diversion, which applies a constant level of pressure to the opponent during the contest.

It would be easy to consider slipping punches to be a reaction to a shot, as opposed to a proactive measure to control an opponent. It’s very unwise to wait for a shot to come in order to effectively slip that punch. Unless your opponent has terribly slow hand speed, then the laws of physics are very much against you. Slipping punches is about being proactive, not reactive.

When referring to slipping punches, I talk about slipping ‘inside’ and slipping ‘outside’. Slipping inside means that the body is shifted to the left of an oncoming straight shot (slips are a most effective defense against straight punches and uppercuts, although because of the slight drop in head height slips also offer some protection against hooks). Conversely, we consider slipping ‘outside’ to be shifting the body to the right of an oncoming jab.
