Head movement
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
category
defense
plain english
Moving your head off the line so a punch misses — slips, ducks, and rolls — while your feet stay under you.
example
Slip outside the jab, then come back to center.
why it matters
Standing still with a high guard still gets you hit. Small, balanced moves are enough.
common mistake
Leaning at the waist so far you cannot punch back.
