6 Boxing Training Tips to Slip Punches Better

Combining slips with good boxing footwork can bring massive benefits both for your offensive and defensive boxing training.
A wonderful skill in boxing is slipping, often seen as a way of avoiding punches, and that's true. But, slipping punches also creates great attacking opportunities.
You make the opponent miss AND you provide additional leverage to increase the power of your shots.
When you then combine the slick skill of slipping with simple movement in and out, then Wow, you are really taking it up a level.
So in this coaching video, I talk you through:
Slipping Inside
Slipping Outside
Movement Forward
Movement Backward
Combining slips with movement forward and backward - we split the skills and find the complementary elements of each skill
Bringing punches to the show
This is intended to give you that base level of skills.
In the next video I do a 'coach-along' session where we nail this with a good old-fashioned boxing drills session.
Audie Murphy, the most decorated US solider of World War 2, did some pretty amazing things. But, be under no illusion, he started off doing basic weapons drills and basic tactical training.
As Pablo Picasso once said "Learn the rules like a professional so that you can break them like an artist." Take the Pablo Picasso route when it comes to your boxing training.
Cheers
Fran

I do love the ingenious breakdown you can tell you have a lot of knowledge about this topic but you talk about what not to do more than what to do why? Boxes get in trouble doing this tell us the right way that's it 😁

[@freddiefalconer976]

Fran your boxing knowledge is much appreciated as always. It keeps boxers safe and grounded and it is taught properly. You remind me of my current coach. Guys like you and him are a dying breed of quality grassroots boxing coaches. These days I see so many of these knew gyms training people wrong techniques, over charging, 30-40 ppl in a class. (White collar) pretty much. But much respect to you and your dedication to the sport.

[@myboxingcoach]

thanks pal, very kind
