Mastering the Defense: How to defend 1-2 in Boxing

Want to learn how to defend against the 1-2 combination in boxing? Check out these slip and step in and slip and pivot techniques!

Step 1: Slip to the outside of your opponent's jab by moving your head to the left or right.

Step 2 (for slip and step in): Quickly step forward with your lead foot to get inside your opponent's punching range.

Step 2 (for slip and pivot): Pivot on your lead foot to turn your body away from your opponent's power hand.

Step 3: Counter with your own punches or clinch to avoid taking unnecessary punches.

Make sure to practice these techniques with good footwork and timing, and keep your hands up to protect yourself. Defense is just as important as offense in boxing, and mastering these techniques can help you become a more skilled and effective boxer. Keep practicing and stay safe! #boxing #defense #slipandstepin #slipandpivot #tiktokboxing.

The intentionality of the front leg dropping the hip and engaging the quads and posterior chain to bolster the weight of the body on the pivot cannot be missed in this video. Excellent pivot

i met a guy who would step and pivot to swing a right hook and that guy was killer in the ring

I was taught when it comes to the pivot think “uncomfortable, comfortable” meaning when you rotate that front foot it engages your hips in an uncomfortable way, so you pivot your hips around until you are back in a comfortable stance. Boom pivot. Clean stuff man🥊

If you're compete in kick boxing, lowering your head is big no. For boxing, yes you can.

Slip and catch the jab step back and keep those hand up as soon as step back lean back

Your only chance to defend is to attack first

How to get know out when you slip without guard 😂😂😂😂

[Jdawg]

I get caught stepping out on that check hook sometimes

[AndrewMichaelsReacts]

Yes but you don't teach that to beginners. This is an advanced step but an optional one. For beginners you simply catch the jab and use your shoulder to parry the backhand. Alternatively a slip and then role with a pivot and lead hook.
