splitting it into two equal halves. When standing in your
                boxing stance, the toes of your lead foot should be placed

                on the center line and point directly toward your forward-
                facing target.

                Bob and weave: Bobbing and weaving are actions in which
                your head moves from side to side and up and down, away

                from the center line. Bobbing occurs when you rotate
                around the waist while alternating your shoulders in a slight
                forward slipping motion. Weaving occurs when you
                simultaneously rotate around the waist while lowering then
                raising your level through flexion and extension of the knees

                in such a way that the side-to-side movement of your head
                appears to make the shape of a “U.” (See more about
                changing level on page 35; see the Weave Side to Side

                exercise on page 39.)

                Slip: To slip a straight punch, you must take your head off
                the center line of attack by bending laterally around the
                waist.



























                To slip right, start from your boxing stance, slightly lower
                your level, and lean to the right. Your knees bend outward

                and away from each other as you change your level. Your
                head and upper body shift away from the center line as you
                bend at the waist to lean to the right.
