1. 0:06Slipping a punch, rolling a punch. When
2. 0:08should you slip a punch? When should you
3. 0:09roll a punch? Which punch should you be
4. 0:11slipping? Which punch should you be
5. 0:13rolling? And how can you come back with
6. 0:15a punch of your own once you've slipped
7. 0:17the punch or once you've rolled a punch?
8. 0:19On this video, I'm going to be going all
9. 0:21over that and I'm going to give you a
10. 0:22drill that you can do at home. But all
11. 0:25you need is a boxing glove, which will
12. 0:27really help improve your reactions and
13. 0:30your head movement. And if you don't
14. 0:31know who I am, my name is Tony Jeffries.
15. 0:32I'm an Olympic medalist boxer, former
16. 0:35European champion. And on this YouTube
17. 0:37channel, I give you everything boxing.
18. 0:39So make sure you subscribe for more
19. 0:41videos like this. So firstly, which
20. 0:44punch should we be slipping? Well, you
21. 0:46should only be slipping out the way of
22. 0:47straight punches. If I'm in my boxing
23. 0:49stance here and the center line is in
24. 0:52between my feet, I want to slip my head
25. 0:55off that line. Now, when I'm talking
26. 0:57about that center line, this is the line
27. 0:59if someone throws a punch at you, it
28. 1:00should be coming straight down that
29. 1:02line, right? So we need to slip our head
30. 1:05off there. And again, if it's a jab, you
31. 1:07want to be slipping to your right. If it
32. 1:10was a right hand, you want to be
33. 1:11slipping to your left. If someone's
34. 1:13throwing a hook at me, coming from this
35. 1:15side, that's when I would roll to that
36. 1:17side, rolling underneath it. Or if the
37. 1:20hook was coming from this side, so I'll
38. 1:21be rolling under that hook right there.
39. 1:24And again, when I'm rolling, my head is
40. 1:26coming off that line and then coming
41. 1:28back onto it. Off that line and then
42. 1:30back onto it. I would never want to try
43. 1:33and slip a hook because if you think the
44. 1:36punch was coming from this side and I
45. 1:38slip into it,
46. 1:40that's like a head-on collision and I'm
47. 1:42making that hook twice as hard because
48. 1:44I'm moving into it. So we're slipping on
49. 1:46the straight punches, we're rolling out
50. 1:48the way of the hooks. Now before I give
51. 1:50you this great drill that you can do, I
52. 1:52just want to talk about the counter
53. 1:53punches and the exact way that you
54. 1:55should be slipping and rolling. So,
55. 1:59let's say someone threw a jab at me and
56. 2:00I have slipped. What I'm doing, I'm
57. 2:02transferring the weight to my back foot
58. 2:04and what that's doing, it's loading up
59. 2:05my back hand and I can follow back with
60. 2:08my right hand. So, if I'm slipping to my
61. 2:10right, I'm coming back with my right. If
62. 2:11I would be to slip into my left, I would
63. 2:13put the weight to my front leg and then
64. 2:15I can come back with my left hand here.
65. 2:17I'm loading that punch up.
66. 2:19And it goes the same if you were
67. 2:21rolling. If I was rolling to my right, I
68. 2:23would come back with my right hand. And
69. 2:24if I was rolling to my left, I would
70. 2:26come back with my left hook. So, again,
71. 2:28I'm slipping out the way of straight
72. 2:29punches. If I slip to my right, I come
73. 2:31back with my right hand. If I slip to my
74. 2:33left, I come back with my left hand. I'm
75. 2:35rolling out the way of hooks. If I'm
76. 2:37rolling to my right, I'm coming back
77. 2:38with my right hand. If I'm rolling to my
78. 2:40left, I'm coming back with my left hand.
79. 2:43Pretty simple, right?
80. 2:44Well, the more that you do this and
81. 2:46practice it in the mirror, on the heavy
82. 2:48bag, if you're in the gym in shadow
83. 2:50boxing, or you're going to be doing the
84. 2:52drill I'm about to give you at home,
85. 2:54always think about that for a rule of
86. 2:56thumb. Now, this drill, all I you need
87. 2:59is a boxing glove to be able to do it
88. 3:02and as well, a hand wrap or some string
89. 3:05to be tying it up because what we're
90. 3:06going to do, we're going to be tying
91. 3:07this glove up to something high. Tie my
92. 3:10hand wrap to it and then I'm going to
93. 3:13Oh, no.
94. 3:15Wait a minute.
95. 3:18Yes, look at that. I am hanging it up.
96. 3:20Now, I guess you haven't got a pole like
97. 3:22this in your house, but you've got
98. 3:24something like a door frame or something
99. 3:26else where you can hang it. Now, what
100. 3:28I'm going to do, I'm going to bring this
101. 3:30to my head height right here because
102. 3:32this is the thing that I'm going to be
103. 3:34slipping out the way of. If it's too
104. 3:36high, it's not going to work. If it's
105. 3:38too low, it's going to make things very,
106. 3:40very difficult. So, I want to keep this
107. 3:43my head height.
108. 3:46I've tied it up.
109. 3:49I'm going to stuff this wrap inside of
110. 3:51here, like that.
111. 3:54And right now, I've got my very own slip
112. 3:56ball like Mike Tyson has got right here.
113. 3:59And now we're about to do it as fast as
114. 4:01Mike Tyson as well. Not really.
115. 4:04So, what we're going to do with this?
116. 4:06So, once it's here, we can swing it in
117. 4:08front and then it'll hit you in the face
118. 4:10like that if you don't slip out of the
119. 4:11way of it. So, when you are swinging
120. 4:13this, it's going forwards and backwards
121. 4:15down that center line that I've not sure
122. 4:17you about, like that, because that's
123. 4:19where the punch is going to be coming.
124. 4:21So, I'm going to stand directly under
125. 4:22this, then I'm going to swing it, and
126. 4:24then when it's coming back, I'm going to
127. 4:25slip to my right, and then I'm going to
128. 4:27slip to my left, and then we'll go from
129. 4:29there. So, it's in front of me, swing it
130. 4:31out, slip to my right, slip to my left,
131. 4:34back to the center. Now, there we've
132. 4:35just done a double slip. Again, throw it
133. 4:38out, slip, slip, back to the center.
134. 4:41Out, slip, slip, back to the center.
135. 4:43I'll show you from this side now. So,
136. 4:45it's swinging up, slip, slip, back to
137. 4:47the center.
138. 4:49As you can see, I'm transferring that
139. 4:50weight, so I'm loading up that counter
140. 4:52punch. Now, once you get used to doing
141. 4:54that, then we can start advancing it a
142. 4:57little bit more. We can start adding on
143. 4:58the counter punches. So, I'll swing it,
144. 5:00I've done a double slip, and I'll throw
145. 5:02a counter punch. I've slipped, slipped,
146. 5:04counter punch. Remember, whatever
147. 5:05direction I'm slipping to, that's the
148. 5:06punch that I'm coming back to.
149. 5:08As you can see, I'm slipping out of the
150. 5:10way of it, getting my head off that
151. 5:11line, and then coming back with the
152. 5:12counter punch. If I'm slipping to my
153. 5:14right, I'm throwing that right hand. If
154. 5:15I'm slipping to my left, I'm throwing
155. 5:17that left hand.
156. 5:19Now, when you get comfortable doing
157. 5:20that, we can advance this even more. We
158. 5:23can get in our box of bounce, if you
159. 5:26like. Then when we move on this, we can
160. 5:27do it like a punch. So, I'm here, I'm
161. 5:29moving like a punch. I'm slipping, I'm
162. 5:31slipping. I'm moving around, I can move
163. 5:33all angles here.
164. 5:35It doesn't matter which angle I'm
165. 5:36moving.
166. 5:39I just don't want that that to hit me.
167. 5:41I'm putting you with my hands to choose
168. 5:42the touch.
169. 5:43Moving, moving, moving. Swing, swing,
170. 5:45slip, slip.
171. 5:47From here, pivoting around.
172. 5:55Then I can start adding in counter
173. 5:57punches. It's moving. Ba ba Ba ba
