Boxing Footwork Drill #22 – The Slip Rope Drill

For this slip rope drill you’ll need to hang a piece of string or rope that is
approximately 4 metres in length at neck height, as if we set our slip rope too
heigh you’ll often become lazy with your head movement.

This drill is as old as the hills but is great for working on evasive footwork

and head movement.

Begin on the right side of your slip rope, take a small step forward with your
lead foot while throwing a jab followed by a small step forward with your
rear leg while throwing a straight right.

Slip under your string or rope and take another two small steps while you
throw your jab and straight right.

Proceed to slip under alternating sides of your rope while throwing your
straight punches.

Once you make it to the end of the rope either opt to turn around and repeat
the drill or if you’re feeling up to it perform your steps, slips and straight

punches while going backwards.
