Boxing Techniques - Bobbing and Weaving

www.myboxingcoach.com for boxing techniques - It doesn't come much better than slipping punches by 'rolling with them' (also referred to as 'bobbing and weaving'.) In this Boxing How To guide I'll show you exactly how to do it like a pro! Bobbing and weaving is a skill that opens many doors, either during infighting, on the attack or on the retreat at long range. When bobbing and weaving, it's possible to evade multiple shots during a single execution. The fact that the head is moving in a non-linear way means that it's extremely difficult for an opponent to judge where to throw shots. Add into the mix that whilst bobbing and weaving you can unleash big, big shots!
This video covers bobbing and weaving (rolling) in both directions; the Inside Roll and the Outside Roll. The inside/outside bit relates to the fact that if the opponent throws a jab, we would end the move on the inside (to your left) of the jab or the outside (to your right) of the jab. Watch the video, then check out the mechanics and faults on the main site (www.myboxingcoach.com/bob-and-...) to make sure that you consider the right way and the wrong way to using this boxing technique!

I understand what you mean, I'm not suggesting anywhere that these videos can replace a good coach, that would be ridiculous. But in my opinion that does not make them useless. All boxers should seek as much information as they can. In my career as a boxer, I must have worked with upwards of 50 coaches (up to and including international coaching with the England team). Every one of those coaches gave me information to use. I hope that these videos do the same. Best of luck in your boxing Kyle.

[@RSoliai]

I agree! Information is information/instruction is what it is...apply it for what it's worth! Thanks Coach!

[@myboxingcoach]

You don't have to want to hurt the opponent in sparring. Be aggressive in spurts, but do it sensibly. Also, look to enjoy making the opponent miss as much as landing your own punches.

[@nicocontreras5366]

Best advice ever , some people do not get it.

[@StephenQuadros]

Excellent tutorial Fran. Thank you for your generosity.

[@myboxingcoach]

Stephen Quadros You're welcome, glad it helps.

[@chablisboy]

Fantastic instruction. So much garbage on youtube that it's a real pleasure to learn from someone that actually knows what they are talking about.

[@myboxingcoach]

Thanks mate

[@SupremeSwaggy]

Master Teacher Fran is a master at breaking the BODY MECHANICS DOWN and the drill to download the mechanics into your body movement repertoire. The more you drill these mechanisms and understand why you doing it, you can piece them together with fluency!! Thanks Master Teacher Fran Sands!! Much love and respect!!

[@biaybiaczynski6174]

old but gold

[@VICNCRAIG]

Brilliantly simple - you've explained it better in 4 mins than any instructor I've had ever has. Thank you Fran..

[@myboxingcoach]

VICNCRAIG Thanks

[@throneintheocean615]

Thank you so much. I finally understand what I need to focus on when slipping. A sound, synchronized base really is pivotal in boxing.

[@myboxingcoach]

@YummietheMummy Thank you for the comment, and I'm happy that you find the vids helpful!

[@TheGreatGobo]

Wonderful video series Fran, thanks for posting them.

[@mrbananalee]

[@69harmonj]

[@andrewtopping7543]

Fran just beautiful man. Clean information and presentation of info

[@kotschomat]

Nice series of videos man. Thanks.

[@GoliathAngel]

Thought you'd enjoy my little clip. Awesome techniques here while you are teaching - sometimes they are harder to implement during a fight with nerves and punches going and coming - but your video is right on target - tight formation - small movements / less energy used. Good job!

[@Borealiz88]

Great vid! This actually taught me a lot, in contrast to most boxing videos I've come across on youtube. Thanks! Cheers from Norway.

[@yomyomcam]

Woah, I just understood I've been doing everything wrong! The way you explain the mechanics of the movement makes it easier for the beginner such as myselft to see how it is supposed to be done. Thanks a lot, you've got a new suscriber today

[@pinkypunky2643]

Nice instructional video, Fran . Lots to learn here. Cheers.

[@myboxingcoach]

Nice. An eye for detail, well done!

[@86MarcusP]

That's the proper way of executing this manoeuvre, brilliantly done, thanks coach.

[@rorythepussycar8816]

What a video! Really fixed the problem i was having with bobbing and weaving

[@mikehussey11111]

in boxing its always the boxer who gets the fame and popularity...and people actually forget that it is always because of awesome coaches like this, that makes a boxer who he is.....

[@rtrain67]

I knew I was using my back too much but your video illustrated what I should be doing with my legs and NOT doing with my back and it did so in a very clear and understandable manner. thanks!

[@myboxingcoach]

rtrain67 You are very welcome, thank you for your input.

[@saturdaynightfeverDJshows]

I was struggling on how to this before this video, thank you for teaching me

[@Gooroo1972]

thnx, it's been a pleasure to see this vid

[@RSoliai]

Wow! Excellent! Thanks Coach!

[@myboxingcoach]

@GoliathAngel Thank you, very kind. No time to think during the fight, which is why in gym time repetition, repetition, repetition is vital. Cheers

[@dubstup23]

Thanks G, you totally nailed my mistakes there. Keep it up brother.

[@WILDBILLNAZIO]

Im loving the vids! Gna try apply these principles during training!

[@myboxingcoach]

@el541 Thanks for the tip El, I'll give that some thought and see what we can come up with. Cheers

[@txspecial]

thank you sir for this helpful info to further help my boxing

[@lil2ray21]

loved it! keep these vids coming!!!

[@myboxingcoach]

@eriklikestoskate95 Sorry for the delay in response. 2 reasons not to roll from the waist 1) your head will look down (losing sight of opponent and leaving you open to uppercuts and 2) you can't throw effective shots back towards the guy who is trying to nail you to the floor!

[@myboxingcoach]

Cheers buddy, really good comment. Glad that the vids take a little of the mystery out of it.

[@jfalconredskins]

Great video, very well explained.

[@myboxingcoach]

Thank you John

[@rc198028]

Brilliant ,in detail from A-Z great coach

[@Nicolas__-js1jm]

Great video!!! Thank you :)

[@myboxingcoach]

@makybediva1234 Hey maky. You know, the best tip I could give is to keep your back straight. By keeping your back straight you will really have no option but to work out how those legs make the roll. It's all in the legs!!! Hope this helps, and thanks for the comment!

[@myboxingcoach]

@MrDlorencesful Thanks for the question. Unless there is a pre-existing condition with your knees, I don't believe that this skill would cause any problems.

[@uncededterritory]

Love it, and good attitute as well ....

[@j.w.8352]

first address for quality content on yt! thanks!

[@myboxingcoach]

Thanks Anders, that's really kind of you.

[@sklsm3]

Great vid. thanks man.

[@myboxingcoach]

@Homeruler99 Hey there. When you say 'hit at the sides', is it at the sides of your body, or on your arms (which would be covering your head)? I'm going to assume your arms, which is not a bad thing (the arms are meant to block, so it's all good!) The roll works very well against long range shots, so, combine your roll with a move forward (keeping the hands high) and get your shots off! The one way to stop the incoming shots is to fire your own. So combine the roll with punches...often!

[@rffg781]

such a great, no non-sense demo. thanks!

[@myboxingcoach]

No worries, thanks Kenneth

[@myboxingcoach]

@JuanMiguel204 -Hey. It's funny that you mention it, I'm just putting one together now. It's a foundation course (video and ebook), so it's the basics that someone who is looking to get involved in boxing might find very useful. Keep an eye on the site JuanMiguel. Thanks for the comment mate.

[@myboxingcoach]

There's an 'Old Man Hits the Heavy Bag' article and some other articles on the site that are worth checking out. Thanks

[@matthewmcnamara7637]

This has helped me I wasn't sure how to bob and weave

[@myboxingcoach]

That's good, thanks!

[@jackwiseman8986]

You helped me a lot with the bobbing techniques, I never knew how to do that properly before..

[@myboxingcoach]

Excellent. Thank you for the feedback.

[@rockrobbgt]

you are a real expert!

[@myboxingcoach]

As long as the incoming shot misses, who cares! Well done for thinking through the detail.

[@myboxingcoach]

@Borealiz88 Thanks you, and glad that you found it helpful our friend from the North!

[@Twobarpsi]

10 years ago you were giving great advice, just like today ✊

[@andrewc41]

Great video, thanks :)

[@myboxingcoach]

@bubblo600 Thank you

[@myboxingcoach]

@busy2crazy I think there's lots of variation with back foot placement, it's something that can be down to personal choice.

[@myboxingcoach]

@Magnum49r Thanks Magnum!

[@prac2]

[@coreyjohnson7777]

Good video

Thank you, and you're welcome

[@myboxingcoach]

You're very welcome pal. Thanks for the comment.

[@MrDlorencesful]

Really good your video. I just want to ask you please, if there is any kind of risk of damage on the knells when you do the rotation? Thanks a lot for your videos, I will use one each week to try to learn the basics movements!

[@myboxingcoach]

Thanks

[@myboxingcoach]

You're welcome. Thank you

[@myboxingcoach]

@ett40146 TY!
