Head Slip

[Scottie2Hottie]

all the time, there called newbies to our hym that thinks there tough **** and can beat my ass cause im short,i get more ppl coming toward me in the first round of sparring then ne thing.they try and go punch for punch then second round there winded cause i made them miss so much ahaha. the guy i sparred in catstkills came foward the whole 6 rounds,and yeah i can fight going backwards also although it hardly happens.amd note sometimes when ppl feel other ppls power,they r reluctant to try and counter in fear of being countered by the harder puncher

lol i get the same ****, im only a little taller than you, and ive got a baby face, so people think they can **** around, but find out the hard way that im a hard hitter.

not tryin to knock your style, but one of the inherent faults of a tyson-style bob and weave pattern is that its predictable, making you vulnerable to counters (if theyve got the balls to take a chance of getting hit by one of your power shots)

ill post up a vid one of these days (my trainer refuses to film me or do anything like that, doesnt want me to get overconfident) and show you my counterpunching. one of my fave little moves is slipping to my right under an opponents jab, and countering with my own jab, bobbing right and hitting him with a right to the body, and follow with a left hook to the body or head, or both.

i had a quote by larry merchant up for awhile and it read."ppl say tyson style is predictable,well so it a hurricane,what can you do about it".and its sooooooooo true

So a couple of guys at my gym can do this crazy slip. Their hands stay in their guard, and their head just . . . MOVES. . . from one side to the other. Not turning; it's like their neck isn't attached to their shoulders.

The body doesn't move; the guard doesn't move. Only the head moves, from side to side. Like, about 6 inches of travel.

I've been working on this all day and **** me; I have NO IDEA how to do this. Is it one of those things like raising one eyebrow? Some people can, and some can't? Is it a question of mastoid / trap flexibility? It's almost like something out of poppin' & lockin', old-school breakdancing.

Can anybody here do this? Further, should I be working on it? My concern would be getting hooked when my neck was that far out of joint, already.

its much better to slip from the shoulders, if your neck is in the extreme slip position and you are punched you will knocked out easily or worse!

oh and your hands should also move with your head

its much better to slip from the shoulders,
