MMA Beginner Series: Slipping Punches

Gary Berger — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 15:30:01 +0000

Slipping punches is in my opinion the ideal way to counter punches. You absorb no damage whatsoever from your opponent, and you put yourself in the best position to counter strike with power.

As a general rule of thumb, we look to slip on the outside of straight punches, keeping us aware from the free hand of the opponent. Which ever side we slip to, we will have our hips “cocked” to fire a power punch on that side.

For looping punches like a hook or an overhand right, we use the bob and weave. It starts off like a slip moving away from the punch, followed by ducking underneath and swinging back towards the punch (but still under). This also allows you to get a power punch on the way out.

Furthermore, you could also slip and punch simultaneously, returning the same punch your opponent is throwing at you, which can be very effective too.

Lead Hook Slip to Snatch Single

Gary Berger — Sat, 05 Mar 2022 15:30:06 +0000

If you have been following the last few videos, then you probably guessed that you could also slip or bob and weave a lead hook right into a take down entry.

My preferred choice is a snatch single leg. Why the single? Because off a hard lead hook, my opponent’s weight will shift towards their rear leg, making that lead leg nice and light. This makes for an easy snatch.

Rather than just snatch the leg, I through a lead hook of my own at his lead leg just behind the knee. With enough force, I can sometimes sweep out their leg just with the hit. Otherwise, I can go into a myriad of single leg finishes. In this video, I opt for switching to a double leg.

Slipped Cross to Double Leg

Just like with the jab, we can slip a cross and get a nice double leg entry. But with the cross the slip is much more effective, as a cross will shift your opponent’s weight much more. This results in a really easy take down.

Slipped Jab to Double

Gary Berger — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 15:30:14 +0000

While transitioning from a striking sequence to a wrestling entry is solid, it’s even better to interrupt your opponent’s striking with a well timed take down.

First, your opponent’s weight will be off balance when you get them to commit to a strike. Second, their hands will be out of position to defend and often so will their body.

In this case, we are simply slipping a jab and immediately closing the gap to a nice double leg entry.
