Slipping and Weaving Exercises

[hobz]

Besides the obvious exercises that you can do with a partner; what are some exercises that you can do on your own to improve your slipping and weaving? Mostly timing is my interest if you can highlight some key exercises for that. Thanks alot guys!

for bob/weave, you can hang a string lengthwise acrosse the training space. follow the line, bobbing and weaving under it. if you use an orthodox lead, bob right, and when you bob left, step forward. bob right, then bob left as you step forward, etc. Once you are comfortable with this, add punches: bob right - throw a cross/hook, bob and step left, throw hook/cross.

 

for slipping, ringside makes an extension that you can attach to your heavy bag. It's basically a broomstick with a glove on the end of it. it acts as a straight punch for you to slip. I haven't tried this one, but maybe someone else here has.

How bout having someone through really sharp spears at you? I'm sure the first few might hurt a bit but after that you will become a master.
