      To see punches coming look at the opponents shoulder with the corner of your eye and if it moves even slightly than u should slip cuz they’ll most likely punch

    I think it is a matter of technique. You can't be top heavy and your hands have to stay up in position. Rotate your shoulders when moving side to side, this way it's easy to keep your chin tucked away and head forward, eyes on your opponent. Pivot on the ball of your back foot and use your front foot as a stabilizer. Move your head in a U shape swooping down and to the side, duck, side slide, up, duck slide to the other side and back up again. In a U shape. Technique matters folks.

    I've only just started to be able to predictably slip punches and I've been sparring for a while now. It's not easy. My breakthrough came when I realised that all I had to do is move when they throw (instead of panic and squint). Especially with people who really like to work the jab, when I see them step with the jab I slip to the outside. It's actually a pretty awesome feeling intentionally making a guy miss and watching his shot whizz past you :)

    It's a good idea to explain pros and cons of different things and that's exactly what I'm doing. I have a few videos out on Tyson's technique and have a few more scheduled to be released. To some degree I'm not very good at explaining the lesser effective technique because A) I'm not good enough to get away with it and B) I don't personally use it myself so I wouldn't feel qualified to speak on it.

  • @Ricky51Fifty
    @Ricky51Fifty 10 лет назад +3

    You looked real confident at the end of this video. And you have reason to. Truth is you really can control your oponent with what you just said. (Or somewhat) you should of mentioned that the oponent could throw a jab, a hook, or uppercut and that could be either left or right... he might even come with a combination... but i like your main point, put your head where you want him to swing and slip. I like this video. It made me think. I feel more aware and alert. Respect

    @expertboxing  11 лет назад

    Being taller will definitely make it a little more challenging to get under punches. With that being said, you can always get under any punch that was aimed at your head. Too many people leave their head low, causing the punches to come in low, making them have to squeeze harder under the punches. It can be easier to stand taller and now you have more room to come under. Another good tip is to slip under his armpit, not his arm.

    The point is not to drop your hands but yes, if you're using head movement, that will free your hands to do something else like throwing punches. Now if you're NOT going to throw punches, well then it's up to you if you want to use your hands as a secondary safeguard against punches while you slip.

    Mike Tyson took his talent and years of training to the championship belt. In the right situation, depending on your fighting skill, you can pretty much break all the rules (drop your hands, walk around the ring, throw wide punches, slip off-balance, etc), but that doesn't turn ineffective technique into good technique. Prince Naseem won a championship, too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to make videos on slipping with your hands down by your waist and leaning sideways at the waist.

  • @expertboxing
    @expertboxing  11 лет назад

    Generally, beginners are taught to slip to the OUTSIDE of the punch because it's safer there but over time, you'll quickly learn that slipping to the inside also has many benefits and can create new angles.
    In regards to the center line, I am referring to the position of your head.

    I know some other boxers and fighters that slip alot of them aren't noticeable when they happen to slip, but it isn't the only form of defense they rely on. I noticed when I spar with different opponents, it is really important how you structure your stance and movements as to be as not open as possible. It saves alot of energy from slipping. But each one to their own.

  • @expertboxing
    @expertboxing  11 лет назад

    Well...yes you can talk about speed all day. But on the other hand, there is rhythm. If you're comfortable and relaxed in the fight and you understand your opponent's fighting rhythm, you don't feel like you need speed to catch his movements.

  • @expertboxing
    @expertboxing  11 лет назад

    This depends on what you want to do. In some cases, a little pivot is necessary for the slip or is useful to setup your counter. In other cases, you might prefer not to do it because you don't need to or because you're already in the position you want.

    Imran, you need to watch more boxing. There are plenty of boxers with masterful slipping.

It's ok if you're new to boxing and can't see the subtleties but this is literally all we do, man.

  • @expertboxing
    @expertboxing  11 лет назад

    If you slip using very small movements, those other things won't matter. But if you're going to slip with giant movements then yes, all those moving parts can take you off balance.

  • @expertboxing
    @expertboxing  11 лет назад

    You can do it anyway you want. It don't want to make it a rule and you forget the point of the movement, which is to get out of the way. It shouldn't matter how you do it because you're trying to use as little movement as possible.

    There is always form and technique. But I don't talk about that in this video because this video isn't for beginners who don't understand slipping in the first place. You cannot slip a curved punch (left hook) the same way you would a straight punch (jab, cross). So no I wouldn't move my head sideways to avoid a hook, I would probably pull it under or over or backwards.

    So the thing that people don’t understand about what he’s saying is that you can set up they’re punches for them put putting your head at a certain position and then when they throw a punch you will already know they were going to do it because you baited them. Doesn’t always work but you can still slip based of reaction like what most people do. But he is saying you can bait or encourage them to throw a certain punch and then counter accordingly

    Hey Johnny, amazing quality as always! I'm having some trouble in class during sparring. I keep moving back to dodge my opponent's punches rather than slip left/right, because I am having trouble reading what punch is coming, especially after a jab comes my way. But it leaves me too far away for counters. How can I fix this? I'm a beginner (less than a month). Thanks!

    • @expertboxing
      @expertboxing  9 лет назад +2

      Ken Stevens It takes time my friend. It helps to drill the slipping on the mitts first before you attempt it in live sparring. There are also sparring drills you can do to help you get accustomed to slipping. Check out my website for detailed boxing instruction.

    • @kenstevens7343

    I've broken down this technique as much as I could. At some point a lot of this natural enough for me that I'm not sure I can easily explain every tiny aspect of it. The goal is to move your head out of the way of the punch. I'm not worried about my shoulders or my arms, I'm focused on moving my head. Looking stupid is common when you're learning something that isn't natural to you yet.

    Hi Johnny, I have a question for You: When I slipping like that my feet must be planted or should I keep my heels of the ground? And also what about my hands? I see that You use them as some kind of counter ballance. As begginer should I keep them motionless and have my guard stiff (it's harder and unnatural slipping like that) or try to use them like You. And in overal as begginer should I try and learn slipping the way like you do or should I keep doing this like You showed at the beginning?
