[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

The biggest mistake I see in learning head movement like this is trying to slip and duck shots on purpose. Stop that. When you shadow box, slip or duck before and after every combo. Do this quickly, do this randomly. You aren’t trying to slip a specific shot, but you’re trying to move on automatic before and after every combo. Avoid patterns, don’t be predictable. Then apply this is sparring instead of trying to slip the shots as they come. Your reaction time will make you too slow. You’ll find that as you just slip automatically, you’ll make people miss by accident. Not because you meant to, just because you moved before your combo, they saw where you were throwing your shots from and will try to catch you on the way out, but you’re already going to move your head at the end of the combo so you’re literally making them miss - not dodging. Sometimes you’ll still get hit. Sometimes you’ll slip to the inside instead of the outside. But you’ll see a difference. It doesn’t matter if you can enter the Matrix with your head movement, only that you can make others think you are. Do this for a while and over time you’ll start to feel more natural and you’ll find some combinations of strikes and head movement that are frequently successful for you and things will slowly start to happen on purpose a bit more, but keep just moving your head anyway.

@@SenseiSeth that's hilarious

[@whitewh1]

Head movement is not easy. I think when under pressure and in your bladed stance, you tend to fade back and this gets you off balance. (Like at the end.) This is fundamentally different from Canelo who is slipping with his head coming a little forward and in a squarer stance.

[@SenseiSeth]

Great point!!

[@Kali-8]

Yeah in bladed stance its way harder to do this, look at the biggest example Mike Tyson

[@darcebader2126]

Just watched a Canelo breakdown where they said his stance is quite wide but he squares his shoulders up. Kind of a hybrid stance that allows him to pull far back and quickly get in and out, while still having the option to slip to the outside of the right hand (to his own lead side.) Seems that's where Sensei gets the most off balance.

[@HTDJoe1]

Your karate back ground stances is holding you back. Clear your mind. Practice for the next 30years and canello is going down. Hopefully by then youll be better than him..... If that fails. Just be better.

Maybe canello was in one of those mcdojos, when he started. Saying I must block every punch with my face. Like your sparring partner... After awhile the punchs don't scare him, which allows him, to square up more. Join a mcdojo. Or just be better ....... I cant wait for the next video. Of course these are all jokes but enjoy...

[@sylascole5254]

Something that doesn't always get mentioned is that slipping can be looked at in gradients. If I move my head a small amount (say 10% of the most amount of movement I can do before I need to reset my feet or bring my head back in line), this leaves me more room to slip shots effectively. Another term I've heard used applied to boxing is 'head slots' from ShortBoxing. Canelo will commit slightly to a head slot to get out of the way of a punch, but he almost always has 2 or 3 more slots available (say slipping forward towards your lead foot is a slot, and forward away from your lead foot is another, and then pulling backwards has two more). Partial commitment to a slot gives more room to play for followups. Additionally, as far as the 'reads' piece goes, good boxers will pre-commit their head to certain slots to draw particular shots with good distance management. The classic is to commit the head forward while leaving the feet back, allowing for the age old pull counter, but this can also be used to create situations of fancy head movement. This is a large part of why Canelo's hybrid stance of heavily squared shoulders and bladed feet works so well even coming forward. His footwork and movement facilitates a pressure style about him manipulating the distance of the exchange while moving forward, which is relatively uncommon for pressure fighters, wherein being 'all the way in' (swarmers or smothers, or folks that look to punch and then enter the clinch) is more common.

[@AdrianWhyte]

So nice to find someone else in a comment section on boxing that knows something!! I’m not a serious boxer but I have boxed for several years and spent a lot of time sparring. Another thing I’d add that you did cover, so I guess, expand upon- that with a lot of experience, you’ll get a feel for where your head is and what punch your opponent will throw- or as you say, based on the slots (shortboxing is a brilliant channel!) but also, if you’re opponent through a jab and came forward slightly bringing their right hand into range, you know it’s likely that right hand is coming, once the right hand is thrown if they are loaded up to throw the hook, might be a good idea to drop. Of course this happens at light speed and from years of experience and drilling!

[@snakethepeg7828]

That sir was fantastically explained. Did you fight pro?

[@sylascole5254]

@@AdrianWhyte Cheers and thanks! Thats why doubling up on the jab is often a great way to deal with head movement or counterpunchers that are determined to get you to commit. I've had good coaches always say that you really only need to make a punch miss, and to do that requires much less movement that people would think. If you watch defensive artists like Floyd, you'll notice they'll use certain slots to bait certain shots. Bending forward at the waist, with your towards your power hand (rather than over the lead leg), is often used to bait uppercuts to counter with check hooks and the like, because that head slot lets you sink lower than slipping forward away from your lead hand. Different slots also have certain uses!

A big part of headmovement like Canelo and headmovement in general. Is going TOWARDS the danger, I tell my students we want to "ride the rail" on straight punches. Lean AND twist towards the outside of the punch and move your head and/or feet forward and try to slide your cheek along their arm(you don't actually have to touch them but you get the idea); this is mainly if you want to throw a counter punch after. This is mainly in reference to the last slip and counter you threw at the end of the video. Another approach is starting with your head already off line slightly, that gives you a little bit more control over where they are punching because it lets you use position to help dictate how they come at you.

[@reyesjacob88]

[@JoshAllenberg]

The way I think about head movement is that the jab can be avoided by moving is literally any direction. Hooks are more or less a horizontal plane that are more easily rolled with than ducked under especially for being the taller fighter. Or if you can anticipate it fast enough, you can also move to the same side as the hook as long as you're out of range. Uppercuts you basically just slip left or right. As far as chaining them together, you study your opponent in real time, and take an educated guess at what they'll throw based on what patterns you've already used in the fight. Canelo's movement is based on the opponent and pattern recognition. Floyd's was almost pure reaction time.

[@danlewis7707]

I agree with some other comments here, slipping is built on being unreliably present on the center line. Like feints, you deny the opponent a target at unexpected intervals. Doing this on purpose as a shot comes in is very difficult so training to automatically throw in slips during before and after combinations while also trying to nail your footwork will build a good foundation. Still, you did do some pretty impressive slipping for a beginner! This video was also very entertaining.

Best feeling I've ever had and now my head movement is one of the best tools I've had in training 4 years later and I rely on it a lot especially for when i get tired. I used vr to practice it religiously playing creed rise to glory and still do till this day as its the only game that slows down time after you slip to let you see where the openings are.

I just found out your channel and watch a pair of vids, I like it how you actually train techniques and moves that are out of your comfort zone to actually see if they can help you be better, I really think this is what mma should be like and what Bruce Lee was talking about, not to just combine martial arts but going out of your way to learn more and adapt those new things to make your own new fighting style, I really hope to see more vids and keep seeing what you learned in past videos being still used and useful

Kickass video. Love the editing.

We sometimes use shot bags for this kind of Training. Take a full length soccer sock, fill the toe with a handful of beans or BBs and tape it off. Partner repeatedly tosses it at you.

Timing? Stays in a position just long enough for the opponent to track it and start to strike then moves in practiced movements that limit potential attacks possible and get him clear. And maybe it's that he's responding to their cores movement while doing that? With experience and the sort of raw ability he's got it looks like the matrix or something! Truly makes the sweet science an art form. Brilliant! Love all

The thing about having good have movement is you can not be lazy when doing it never you always gotta be on your toes figurative speaking and literally speaking with each side you lean towards with good hip movement as well

I think you did well. I feel it has more aspects to consider than just pure anticipation. You can set up your opponent manipulate them into throwing a punch in way learning how to control the pace of the fight. There’s but I think it takes years to master and if you really want something you gotta work for it.

It's not just head movement. It's balance and footwork WITH the head movement that makes it work.

He's also leading them. In HEMA we have a strong and weak bind. A lot of people think this is something you merely perceive, but as a function of where your sword and their sword bind, you can bind in a way to be strong or weak regardless of them. Like wise he knows someone will jab and cross, so he ducks. Naturally his opponent's third attack will be an uppercut to his ducking head. By ducking he is making the most optimal attack against him the uppercut. And then he dodges the expected uppercut. Not sure if I articulated this well.

Use your elbows. When you raise your hand to guard, you load up your knee, then you can push off. If you raise your right hand to guard, you can shuffle to the left once you load your right knee.

I’m three minutes in and this video is already epic.

"head movement" isnt just head movement on its own!!!!! Its also FOOTWORK!!!! & PARRY!!!! that also comes with alongside

[@Eri587]

I don't know if you would have the chance to do another video but if you continue training your head movement i highly advice to get a double end bag and tape a pool noodle to it, the bag will recoil as fast as you hit it and the noodle will simulate an arm, so is by far the most efficient way to train head movement, defense, counter etc.

[@LizardTheWiz]

would love to see this continued, maybe commentary over some Muay Thai style head movement would better suit your application

I keep seeing things in your videos that relate to derby practice, but this one is really REALLY related. I think part of the reason you are getting stuck in your bigger motions is having your front foot planted and not drawing it slightly in the direction you are trying to lean/twist. This means that it is much harder to bend your back knee to get the hip position. In derby, since we can't use our hands on our opponents, we focus really heavily on moving our shoulder by moving our knees and feet to move our hips slightly to support the motion

Bruh that was fun to watch. I had no doubt you would not achieve Canelos head movement in a week. Im actually willing to bet there isnt a human on earth that could in a span of a week. Just my 2 cents but Canelos head movement comes from two major factors: Split second reads. He has been doing this so long that he knows what punch is coming next by what came before it. Footwork. His footwork is impeccable hence his balance is never off so hes able to move in any direction quickly and his movements arent that big. Youn only have to move a few inches to makes someone miss. This is a very basic explanation but those are two huge factors and they take time to develop.
