Your feet should move as you slip. Assuming you are orthodox (r handed) to slip inside, slide your left foot in and slightly to the left of his l jab, transfer weight to that leg and bend slightly at the waist - the end result is that the jab barely misses your head and you are inside. Keep your hands up bc he might L hook off the jab or throw a R uppercut (I once got caught w a R uppercut - remember your mouth guard, you will get hit while sparring)
Think about your position. With your L leg bent, holding most of your weight and your upper body slightly crouched to the left, what punches could you throw? Well, you use this position to spring up and into your opponent with any of the following: L shovel hook to the obliques, left hook to the body, L uppercut to the body or chin. You don't want to nail your sparring partner; just let him know you're there. Save your power for the focus mitts/heavy bag.
