bounce with my left catch with my right and throw some
punches on this video i'm gonna give you three tips to be able to slip out the
away of punches faster no matter whether it's a boxing punch
coming at you or a street fighting punch coming at you after watching this
video you're going to get a great
understanding of how to get out the way of those punches
better by the way tip number three is by far the best so make sure
you hang around and watch tip number three because that one will
really really help you
my name's tony jeffries olympic medalist boxer former undefeated professional
seven times national champion european champion welcome to my youtube channel
tip number one is move your head slightly
i see it often where people will be slipping out the way of punches and
they'll slip and they'll come this far down
if i'm in this position right here i'm off balance
i can't throw any counter punches and if someone pushed me
i'd fall over so when i say slightly i mean
just enough to get at the way of a glove or a fist if you think a glove
is about six inches a fist maybe four inches wide
that's all you've got to slip you've got to slip just that much
and if you've got a line in between your feet or visualize a line in between your
feet that line is where the punch is going to
come right down you've got one foot either side
thinking the punch is coming right down the line take your head
off that line your head's off that line and the punch will go straight past you
so you're here small movements and as well if i slip
here i've slipped that jab i'm putting the weight on the back foot
and i'm loading up this next punch which is a big cross slip here load up
the next punch which is a hook so them small slips is not only going to
get you out the way faster but also put you in a great position
to throw a counter i've got lots of videos on this channel about counter
punching check them out as well they will really
help you tip number two is use a slip rope
all i've done here i've tied a hand wrap around a heavy bag
to the wall and i've got this my head height because that's where the punch is
going to be coming straight your head so you want to get in
your boxing stance here and we're going to do a little slight
step and a dip fast and if you think the
points come right here you've just got straight out of the way
that one thing to think about when you're
doing this you want to keep your hands up i'll see it often where people
have their hands down and they'll be here that is no use because if you're
down here boom and you get clipped you're not
protecting yourself so hands up high you always want to have
them hands up on the slip rope and a drill with this
you can use moving forwards and back forwards and back keeping your head off
there you don't want to be you don't want to be coming under again
in this position you want to use them legs slide slide
slide and you want to the faster you get like
this the better you're going to get at slipping out away of punches
yeah that's tip number two and tip number three is the most important of
them all and that is your reactions seeing the punch
coming reacting when someone throws a punch at you
if you get this down i'm telling you it's going to make you very hard
to hit so how can you improve your reactions
there is so many different drills that you can do for this
i've got a full drills package that you can check out the link below
where you'll see a ton of drills on reactions but i'm going to give you a
couple right now getting a tennis ball or a
rubber band to a ball like this there's so many different drills that
you can do with this to help improve your reactions
one of them is you've got the ball out in front of you all i'm going to do i'm
going to drop it with my left hand and i'm going to catch
it with my right as i throw the punch same with my right i'll drop with my
right catch with my left keep dropping it
and this here is a drill it'll help improve your reactions another one
is just getting on your toes bouncing that ball hands up
and you might be thinking well how is this helping me improve me slipping
because it is helping your coordination your hand
eye and foot coordination which is everything
to help improve your reactions and then what you can do you can combine them too
so i'm bouncing the ball i'll bounce with my right i'll catch you
with my left bounce with my left catch with my right and throw some
punches bouncing bounce and down turn bounce bounce catch punch like that
yes number three is reactions get better at reacting and that will help
you get better at reading punches that's coming straight for your face
