Product Information

Alternative #1: You can also throw a right to his body as you’re slipping, followed up by a big left hook.

It helps to contract your stomach a little and exhale as though the slip is a punch. (This allows you to move more explosively.)Alternative #2: You can also pull your head straight up allowing the right hand to pass under your chin and then throwing a counter right over the top. Slipping is a great tool to have in your boxing repertoire, and let's be honest: it looks really cool. I suggest practicing slipping slowly and getting your legs used to doing the work in front of a mirror. A slip rope drill is a great way to practice as well! Just remember, it’s about quality of practice, not quantity. Once you’ve got the basic movement down, here are some of the best tips I’ve received from my coach and fellow fighters on how to improve your slips. Use Your Legs Learning how to slip punches is a really advanced skill (almost unnecessarily advanced). How advanced? Advanced enough that some boxers can become world champions without ever becoming really good at slipping. Think Antonio Margarito. Once you’re done with pivoting, move a bit closer to the opponent by stepping towards them as you’re throwing the punch. If you tend to throw the punch with your right hand, your left hand should come forward as well. By doing so, you’ll be able to maintain your head at a safe distance from your opponent. When you fully slip the punch, hit a crossover jab over the arm or attempt an uppercut from below. The biggest advantage of slipping inside is that you can catch your opponent while moving upwards. Since your opponent’s head in next to your head, your opponent will have a hard time protecting his/her face and body.

Sometimes you will lower your gloves from your eyes to your cheeks so that your gloves don’t get hit as you’re slipping closely. Another mistake is slipping too fast with no rhythm. You may have seen Mike Tyson work eight slips at lightning speed.Try incorporating plyometric stretches before a match, like push-ups and lunges. [14] X Expert Source David Engel
