1

Opposite Knee Touch Slip Calibration

Sets: 3Reps: 20 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 44 sec

Touch the lead knee with the rear hand for a lead slip, then touch the rear knee with the lead hand for a rear slip, calibrating the exact head displacement off the centerline before bringing the guard back up.

Key points

  • Rotate hips naturally to bring the extended arm across to touch the opposite knee
  • Keep arms fully extended during initial touches to establish physical boundary references
  • Bring both hands back up to a high guard while replicating the exact same head trajectory

Common mistakes

Over-slipping and leaning the torso too far past the outer edges of the knees.

2

Continuous Slip-Slip-Roll Flow

Sets: 3Reps: 16 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 1 min 15 sec

Execute a fluid lead slip, rear slip, and rolling weave under an imaginary hook, drawing a smooth unbroken figure with the nose so the head never remains static.

Key points

  • Link the two slips directly into a rolling weave under the incoming hook
  • Draw an unbroken continuous figure-eight pattern with the nose without pausing
  • Use knee bend rather than spinal flexion to duck beneath the roll

Common mistakes

Stopping at distinct static endpoints rather than maintaining a continuous flowing rhythm.

Pull-Slip Dynamic Evasion Cycle

Sets: 3Reps: 16 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 1 min 24 sec

Execute a controlled lean back (pull) aligning the torso with the rear thigh angle, followed by an immediate lead or rear slip to evade incoming straight punch flurries.

Key points

  • Lean back just enough so the torso matches the angle of the rear thigh
  • Keep hands up at the chin during the pull rather than dropping the guard
  • Transition directly from the pull into a tight slip without resetting to center

Common mistakes

Leaning back off-axis at an awkward angle or dropping hands toward the waist during the pull.

Double Slip to Kinetic Chain Punching

Sets: 3Reps: 12 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 49 sec

Execute a rear punch, slip lead, slip rear, and fire a punch that leverages the natural elastic rotational recoil of the loaded hip side.

Key points

  • Slip twice in succession to load rotational torque into the hip and legs
  • Fire the counter punch in the direction the hips naturally uncoil (e.g., slip to lead side to fire jab/lead hook)
  • Maintain seamless kinetic flow from defensive slip into offensive strike

Common mistakes

Attempting to punch against the direction of loaded hip rotation, disrupting kinetic flow.

Hook-Roll-Hook Rotational Flow

Sets: 3Reps: 12 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 1 min 17 sec

Throw a rear hook, roll underneath the return counter by bending knees and rotating hips into a U-shape, and explode up into a lead hook or uppercut.

Key points

  • Use the rotational follow-through of the hook to initiate the downward roll
  • Bend at the knees and carve a clean U-shape with the nose under the imaginary counter
  • Explode up through the opposite hip into a lead hook or body punch

Common mistakes

Bending at the waist rather than using knee flex and hip turning to duck under the hook.

Progressive 1-Through-8 Slip-and-Punch Ladder

Sets: 3Reps: 6 repsRest: 45 secEst. duration: 59 sec

Execute a structured multi-phase ladder: throw 1-2, slip; throw 2-3, slip; throw 3-4, slip; throw 4-5, slip; throw 5-6, slip; throw 6-7, slip; throw 7-8, slipping consecutively between every two-punch sequence.

Key points

  • Punch in consecutive numerical pairs (1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8)
  • Insert an instantaneous directional slip between every two-punch cluster
  • Transfer weight smoothly between lead and rear feet to feed each ensuing punch combo

Common mistakes

Losing track of the punching sequence or forgetting to slip between punch pairings.
