In boxing when the boxer slips a punch that means he ducks under a punch. Slip in bxing means to duck. It's a ducking motion bending the upper body at the hips and ducking a punch by slipping under it to either the left or right side.

Mistake with my terminology, I meant a bob and weave. It was past midnight when I posted this. I'm not sure what the TKD terminology for it is. I'll edit the original post.

Basically it's a sort of small side step to get you off the centre line of the opponent, forcing them to turn to face you. This often creates an opening for an entry or attack.

Edit: Oh dear, the time limit for editing has expired.

You said you intend to win by KO rather than points. Thats interesting. I don't compete, but I do spar a lot in Olympic style sparring. I try and look at each attack my opponent does as a seperate scenerio. That way I can apply sparring so it simulates a self defense scenerio. For instance if my opponent comes at me with a fast kick (lead leg roundhouse kick) and then throws a rear leg roundhouse. I figure I have to scoot back to avoid the first attack then step back to avoid the second attack then counter with an attack myself. This is a scenerio.

Now that one counter attack I do, I consider it to be my attack in self defense. In sparring my opponent is wearing a hogu, but in real life my attacker wont be wearing a hogu. So if I can score the rear leg roundhouse while sparring. I shold be able to knock the wind or break the ribs of my attacker in real life. Scenerio over.

Not only did I score a point in sparring for that small attack, but I also either winded my opponent in real life or broke some of his ribs. Giving me enough time to get away.

I break down the attacks when I spar as seperate scenerios, sometimes I am the victor and smetimes my oppoenent catches me when he attacks with multiple combinations.
