Bob and Weave

Bobbing and weaving combines bobs (vertical dips) and weaves (lateral rolls) to make punches miss while working your way inside. It's the signature of pressure fighters who want to get close safely.

How to do it

1. 1Bob straight down bending the knees, posture tall.
2. 2Weave side to side under looping punches.
3. 3Keep a tight guard the whole time.
4. 4Come up on an angle, ready to punch.

Common mistakes

• Bending at the waist instead of the knees.
• Predictable, repetitive rhythm.
• Dropping the hands while moving.
