If you can't run, MOVE YOUR HEAD! DUMMY!

You will never know if you will end up in a streetfight somewhere somehow. So don't forget to move.

"People seem to miss the point of the video. It's not just about using offensive techniques to be successful in a street fight, or any fight for that matter. What it is trying to illustrate here is that having excellent basics in defense, such as bobbing and weaving, can give you incredible control to a fight. We all know in reality that a street fight wouldn't pan out like this, but it shows just how doing something as basic as getting your face out of the way of an incoming fist is an important technique and skill to learn.

Plus, he makes it clear at the end of the video this technique is best used as part of an offensive scheme with counter punches, and trying to slip punches repeatedly is a bad strategy. Just ask Silva: even the best fighters can make mistakes with this, and pay for it."

"The most dangerous thing about head movement is letting it make you predictable. If I know you'll move your head a certain way in response to a punch, I'll throw it just to get you to move your head and then have a big punch waiting for you when your head gets there. Ideally, I should never know how you'll react to anything: sometime you slip, sometimes you block, sometimes you pull your head back, sometimes you just eat it and counter, etc.

For those wondering: you slip to the side of long straight punches, you duck under hooks, or you combine the two in a U-shaped roll-under. Just make sure all vertical movement happens below the waist: don't bend your back to duck; bend at the knees."

How To Train Your Head Movement

Boxers uses "slip bag" to improve their head movement and overall reflex. Maybe the monk above has training to improve his chin, he is famous to resist such blows but he is still human. So if you have time to practice, practice with a slip bag.

"The slip bag, also called a maize bag, usually resembles a deflated speed bag and is filled with beans, rice, or sand. It hangs freely at eye level from a rope or chain overhead. iSport’s guide on How to Use the Slip Bag in Boxing covers everything you need to know about this versatile training tool. In addition, the following drill will help your slipping defensive technique:

1. Push the bag so that it swings back and forth.
2. Slip the bag to the left or to the right, but be aware that you need to slip again as it descends toward the back of your head.
3. Continue your head movement while always avoiding the bag. Integrate punches once you’re comfortable with your head movements.

The slip bag will undoubtedly improve your awareness and head movement if practiced frequently. Proper head movement makes you an elusive target and often opens up offensive opportunities."
