Does anyone have any suggestions on drills to practice slipping punches and bobbing and weaving? I think they are great forms of defense, and would love to play around with them a little bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yeah, upsetting my little sister who then goes crazy with head shots. Can't hit her back when at home or my mum also gets mad and wont talk to me for hitting her "baby". lol. Learnt to duck and weave pretty well over the years.
If you don't have a horrible, younger sibling, get something that swings.  Used to have a really small punchbag that wasn't too heavy. If I shortened the chain so it was head height, it was great.

Working with a partner is good. Strap on some headgear, give your partner some gloves and get them to throw punches at you. Start slow and light. All the basics apply (keep eyes on partner, hands up etc). Build from there by getting your partner to add speed and start moving around a bit more. |

Just that simple, huh? I will give it a try. I think it is an important skill, and want to improve it.
Thanks for the help, guys.

The drill i mentioned is a good starting point. Obviously you can use your imagination from there. But once you start working out how the head movement and body movement goes together with your footwork, strikes and other defensive techniques you can start adding them into your shadowboxing, bagwork and other drills. |

get someone with jab pads and after you punch get them to move the pad over your head, so you have to like hook, then duck. jab cross, duck. etc.
also, for bobbing etc, stand infront of a mirror, and just look to see what would look most distracting/best against an oppenent, and work on those movements

This is a good starting point to. But it needs to be built on so your reacting, not anticipating what your partner is doing. To achieve that, give the pad holder a number of options of how they can counter attack, then you have to react to each one has it comes. |

They also make bags that move back and forth after you punch them, with stretch cords on the top and bottom. You can move away from them as they rebound. That's kind of old school, though. They are something like this: http://www.boxingdepot.com/striking-bags.html

I like the idea behind this one! I think I may try it. The hard part is learning to react, rather than anticipate, like cross mentioned. I do want to try it, though.
I think I could work it right into my Combat Hapkido curriculum, if I ever get good enough at it!

I have seen those before, and I would love to give them a whirl. I used to do speed bag work, and I loved it. Not much head movement involved there, though. Great for hand speed, however.
