How do you practice slipping punches?

To practice slipping outside

1. Start in the basic boxing stance.
2. Push your front foot.
3. Let this movement slightly rotate your upper body to the right.
4. With this rotation, let your head naturally move to the right as well (this is when in a match you would be slipping a blow to your head)
5. Return to the boxing stance.

What’s a slip in boxing?

A slip is a head movement that doubles as an avoidance tactic to “slip punches.” When you move your head to one side of your shoulder to dodge a blow, you have essentially completed a boxing slip.

Why should you never slip to the jab in boxing?

Because slipping to the jab is dangerous as your opponent is not committed to the punch and is just testing the waters. If you slip a jab against an advanced boxer, he/she won’t follow up since they will know your motive. So, they’ll then resort to using fake jab and catch you with an uppercut as you try to slip.

How do you slip your opponent’s jab?

If you want to slip your opponent’s jab, it’s best to leave your head at the neutral position. If you want to slip your opponent’s right hand, put your head in POSITION 1. This will give you more time and more room to slip that right hand.

How important is the jab in boxing defense?

In boxing, the jab is considered the most important punch. They say if you can’t establish the jab, you won’t land anything else. That adage says a lot about boxing defense, too: if you can shut down your opponent’s jab, you effectively shut down their offense (or at least reduce it to low-percentage Hail-Mary hay-makers thrown from too far out).

How do you bait an opponent with a jab?

Slipping the jab puts your head in position to bait your opponent to throw the right. Slipping the right will bait your opponent to throw the left hook. If you feel your opponent repeating right hands and left hooks, keep slipping between Points (1) and (2) but making sure you swing your head past Point (3).
