how can i learn to slip punches?

Hey Herb

Good to chat again. There is an article on slipping punches on the site; navigation is not great at the moment, so I'll aim to improve it (the 'Look in Here' drop down on the right is your best bet.) Have a look at the vid, read the associated article and then let me know any questions via this thread. The slip does require some knee bending on the inside slip not so much on the outside slip), but it sounds like this may be a 'lesser of two evils' situation in terms of discomfort when slipping shots; I guess you will need to experiment.

Take it easy mate

Thanks -- I had seen that before and really thought I could use it, but then didn't find a chance to practice it at the gym.

I am really glad you reminded me of that video.

This is entirely different from the 'fade' my coach teaches. (Not saying which is better but that doesn't matter because at worst I will have another choice of movement.)

This looks like something that I can do effectively as well -- need to try it with some punches coming at me.

Thanks again Fran.
