Slip & Roll

Defensive head movements are designed to evade incoming strikes while maintaining a balanced position to execute counterattacks.

Execution Standards:

1. The Slip: Pivot slightly on the balls of your feet and move your head just off the center line to evade a straight punch. Keep your eyes on the opponent.
2. The Roll: Drop your weight by bending your knees (not your waist) and move your head in a “U” shape to duck under an imaginary hook.
3. The Guard: Keep your hands high and elbows in throughout the entire movement to maintain defensive integrity.
4. The Balance: Ensure your weight remains centered between your feet; do not lean so far that you lose your ability to strike back.
