    Now, the ability to slip a punch requires two things: 1. A comfort zone in your ring. 2. Preparation from using focus mitts and working on the techniques in sparring.

    The comfort zone… you’ve got to get a feeling of possibility and power in the hot zone. If you don’t, you won’t be able to use the technique of slipping punches. If a fighter hits gloves, shoulders, he gets the satisfaction of impact, and you the discomfort of being hit. The worst punch to throw is a punch that’s slipped, because there’s absolutely no satisfaction, and the swinger’s being played the fool.
    The slip, in it’s simplest terms, is a weave to the side to avoid entirely a punch. The best slip is not only doing that, but moving in to launch an attack against a vulnerable opponent. That’s the technique I will focus on here.

    1. The Jab. There are three basic techniques of slipping the jab and launching an attack. The first one is to slip to your left, the jab going over your right shoulder.
    While his jab is launching out, yours is being thrown as an inside hook, your left palm facing the ceiling, and you shoot it straight into his face. At that moment, he’s a hit man with his left arm out and your punch snapping back his head. There are many combinations to throw after this technique, such as right to the body, left hook to the body (moving in) and a left hook to the head while he’s (probably) backing up.

    2. The Jab. Slip to your right, the jab moving past your left ear over your left shoulder. Now, his body is exposed, so you dig a right to the body followed by a left hook to the head, since his guard will likely get low. Move into him.

    3. The Jab. Slip to your right, parrying his left hand with your right and move straight into him. You’re upright in this technique and pressuring him from his vulnerable side. It’s important to really push the back of his left arm in this technique, because it really puts him out of balance. Any number of counters can be launched from this position

    4. The cross. It’s important when you slip this punch that you have a glove in front of the left side of your face as an insurance policy. Cross armed fighters like to put their right glove like a catcher’s mit in front of their face. Conventional fighters should protect their face with the left hand, but the motion is a slip down and to the right. The right hand is launched over your left shoulder. What’s opened for attack? This question is the point of the slip. “What advantage have I gained?”

    5. The cross. Slip to your left, right hand launches over your right shoulder, and you dig a left hook to the body, push the back of his right arm to keep him off balance and spin him and move in. Keep him off balance with outside weaves by pushing the back of the arm that threw the punch. of consummate finesse.

    6. The left hook. This may be the most important punch to learn how to slip, and it’s the most dangerous. Many fighters like to try to lean their heads back to avoid the punch. Big mistake. Donald Curry got his fricken’ chin ripped by Mike McCallum in a title fight for that move. Keep the right hand glued to your right chin, the thumb pressed against the jawbone. When the punch comes, you weave under it. You don’t face the ground going under it, you artfully weave under it, while keeping your eyes on your opponent’s face/chin/shoulders. The crouch should be ready to spring into an attack. After weaving under it, you envision your combination! What’s exposed and vulnerable? Again, pushing the back of the arm is a good technique. A right hand to the liver is there for the pickens, followed by an inside hook to the chin.
    Work on these techniques with the focus mitts, so it becomes an involuntary reflex, and hone the techniques in sparring. They are deadly, troubling for an opponent, and lets you slice through his defence like a hot knife through butter.

    If you read the post i said nothing about a hook with you palm facing the ceiling as that would be physically impossible. Its a type of jab usually used when slipping inside by rotating your shoulder and the jab lands cleanly on your opponents chin. Its a very effective shot
