chad: bob and weave
you know the bob and weave chad.. just maybe not under that particular name... it's the basic boxing evasion for a hook punch.. you bend at the knees to lower your head below the height of the horizontal attack line, then make a slight side step to take your body under the punch (in the direction it came from).. this movement includes a slight sideways sway so that your head makes a complete circle back to the start position.
you may have seen boxers practice it under a rope stretched at head height across the gym.. working it with shadowboxing/counterpunching..
Sikal: if i bob and weave with a straight back, bobbing from the knees alone with no "bend over" to it, am I still so open to knees? we haven't been training knees in our sparring yet...
