Intermediate Head Movement: Slipping and Ducking Punches.

The goal of well-executed head movement is to make your opponent miss, so you can create and capitalize on the openings.

Aside from allowing you to prolong your combat career, it adds a really cool aesthetic to your fight style.

Why is this important?

✔️. Learning head movement adds another layer to your defense repertoire.

✔️. Keeps you safer and healthier by teaching you how to avoid head trauma.

Techniques covered:

⚡️. Slipping the Right Cross.

⚡️. Slipping the Left Jab.

⚡️. Duck Under the Right Hook.

⚡️. Duck Under the Left Hook.

Homework:

Practice these four combinations back to back for a total of a 3 min round. 📈

Combo 1: Jab - Slip to Your Left- Left Hook Counter

Combo 2: Jab - Cross - Slip to Your Right - Right Cross Counter

Combo 3: Jab - Duck to Your Left- Left Hook Counter

Combo 4: Jab - Cross - Duck to Your Right - Right Cross Counter

Common Mistakes:

✖️. Slipping off balance - Use your entire body instead of just folding at the hip or spine.

✖️. Ducking way too low.

✖️. Keep your opposite hand up and chin tucked.

💡. Put in the practice. These techniques are long term investments but ULTRA useful.

Wow thanks I just tried this and I did it perfectly almost. I couldn't get the foot angle right. Thanks for doing this in slow motion and showing your full lower body. I saved for practice. You broke down how to move your feet properly. Which help my brain connect the dots. Thanks again.

Excellent, BUT it would be more understood by beginner if you had a partner and demonstrated all this on live partner. Else, beginners think they understand, by visualizing your virtual partner, but after a while, in real lessons, beginners realize that they imagined it all wrong. Lesson to us: leave NOTHING to imagination. It is already hard enough for beginners to learn even basic fundamentals.
PS: I just saw a comments, below: "it's really clear". I should revise that comment to be more correct, from beginner's point of view: "it's really clear as mud".
