Thread: Weaving technique

Hi
Im having a little trouble with my bobbin and weaving technique. I had a pretty bad coach until about 6 months ago until he got kicked out and he was teaching me the wrong techniques when boxing. I have a new coach that thinks i would be best suited to using bobbin and weaving as i am only 5ft 11' which is a little small in the heavyweight devision (im 104kg). Has anyone got any tips on the bobbin and weaving movement because when i was sparring, i was getting hit quite a lot when i was weaving?

Don't bob and weave until somebody tries to hit you. You see lots of fighters coming forward "moving the head" for no reason and the opponent times them and they get hit. The initial move in a bob-and-weave is a slip of an opponent's lead, either to the inside or the outside and a counter must be as instantaneous as the slip. Punch as you bob/weave, and the last move should get you safely. out of range or, to a place where you can land punches but not get hit back.
Good to be back, if only briefly. I'd love to go more in depth but I'm at the library and nearly timed out. Best wishes, all.
