Slip

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

summary

Moving your head just off the line of a straight punch, without taking your feet or your guard anywhere.

steps

  • Start in stance with your guard up.
  • Bend slightly at the knees and waist and turn your shoulders so your head moves about a hand's width off centre.
  • Keep your eyes forward and your guard where it was. Only the head has moved.
  • Come straight back to centre. A slip you cannot return from is a lean.
