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

As a beginner in this sport, when I have a question about boxing, drills, defensive stances, creating angles or changing lines I come here. Mr Sands allways has a simple and effective explanation, greetings from Spain.

Dude I never realized how I rarely slip on the inside when sparring. Just blew my mind. Thanks coach! Very well put.

[@sumitkhangura6006]

in regards to the waist bending, Thanks for actually discussing a controversial technique rather than just saying its wrong. It makes you're point that much stronger. You're an amazing coach thanks for sharing your knowledge for everyone.

mike's stance is 50-50 this guy stand's way to sideways. imo both stance's are too extreme. mike can slip both sides equal witch give him good angle's for hooks combined with d'amato's peak a boo style it was perfect. don't want to discredit this guy.... the slips are good if u fight a taller guy but imagine facin a short southpaw with this tecnique ....ull ''slip'' in a lot of hook's and uppercut's😉

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
