Tech thread part 1 - head movement - 02/24/07 10:49 AM
How many folks here practice or have been shown anything in the way of head movement? In one of my heavy bag video sequences, I was (rightly) called out on lack of head movement. I have started to work some more into my training, but my original style (AKK) did not really emphasize it. By 'head movement', I am referring to slipping, ducking, bob'n'weave, etc.
I feel that head movement is very critical in avoiding shots, as you can't block everything. Being able to 'roll' with strikes that actually hit you is maybe even more important, IMHO.
Do any of you practice deceptive head movement (faking)? Tilting the head one direction while really setting up a strike from the other?
Let's hear your views.
