The slip to me has proven to be effective in creating more head movement and forcing the fighter the constantly change his orientation around the line of fire.
You only need a low hanging hook about feet above your head, and a string plus a sand bag.
You bring your head to the area where the bag rests and then you swing the bag. And with squatting you can dodge, with slipping to the left or right you can dodge. This is when the bag is swinging towards your nose. This emulates straight punches like the jab and the straight punch.
Next variation is to swing the bag side ways, in other words, swinging towards your ears. then you bob and weave under and around the swings.
Lastly there is the side ways leaps and pivots all using your lower limbs to get out of the line of fire.
The daily practice of this drill makes head movement second nature and you will catch your self slipping punches in fights without thinking about it.
As I learned in the army, the whole point of drills is to repeat an action to the point that you are unconsciously competent.
Make your slip bag today and start slipping punches.
