Answer 1

It is not very hard at all, but hard to explain in a post like this. But you could try this: get a plastic milk jug and fill it up with water hang it down to chest level from your basement,garage,tree. Push it away from you and JUST before it hits you practice pivoting to each side with one foot then the other one, then one step angled forward then angled back on each side with each foot. With each foot practice your pivots at a 45 degree, 90, 180, 360 degree angle forward and back. That's enough for now to get you started, If you need more info let me know!! Good luck. ps; Your opponent can advance faster than you can retreat so stepping around them and pivoting are your best options. Your main objective is to never STAY in front of them.

Here are some easy training tips.
The hanging tennis ball (s) is a great way to train as they are hard to hit when moving, and harder to dodge. You can run a string all the way thru them and also attach them top and bottom to control amount they can move.A broom stick with a wire loop attached at the end is also a great targeting device, and if a friend will work with you a great way to learn evasive and counter attacks. Hitting thru the hoop while evading slowly moving tennis balls can be a workout.

its kinda hard to explain creating angles in words its kinda something you have to see. but all i can really tell you is shadow box and work on footwork, side stepping, shuffling out, pivoting etc...

usually if someone is throwing flurries at you if yall are both fighting orthodox(jabbing with left hand) then you'll circle to your right avoiding there power hand. or you can clinch them if you're doing boxing its a good way to catch a lil break if you are doing muay thai be prepared to throw some knees

creating angles i really such title's attacking and punching at angles it gives good detail instructions on how to move, so you need help finding the video shoot me an email

Answer 4

all of these things depend on your style of martial art.
you see, in karate, judo ,jujitsu it is better to step to the side to take a counter strike or kick.
in tai or most other forms of kickboxing you really want to be moving toward your opponent to minimize the strength of his attack and get inside his guard to strike with fist, knee, elbow and even a close side kick to the head.
creating angles is the easy part, you just imagine yourself at the center of a clock face with 12o'clock at forward and 6 at the back,
thus looking forward you can strike or counter strike (block) in any direction or angle.
bobbing and weaving is again a simple act. just stand still and imagine two people taking alternate punches at your head, your not going to let them so you just move your head slightly to avoid the blow, the punches keep coming so you keep dodging. from there you can add upper body movement into your head weave to accentuate your dodging. if you keep your fists in the guard position this helps you to keep your balance. as a bonus it also aids abdominal development in the same way as press ups do.
even after many years of sport kickboxing i found myself stepping back out of range but all this achieves is to give your opponent attacking space and invites more of what you are trying to avoid. try sparing with a friend and purposely letting them land a flurry, just to show your self that it does not hurt (much,,lol). if you are permanently on the lookout for an opening, keep your eyes on your opponents eyes during a flurry attack and if you are concentrating you will not only see every blow coming so able to block but you will also see the opening for a strike of your own.
get one or two in and you will soon gain the confidence you so badly need.

good luck ;)

Answer 5

like someone stated earlier its rather hard to explain verbally and is more something that needs to be shown visually.

Footwork is the biggest key in creating angles. Remembering to step side to side and not just backwards is the most important thing to remember. You can use their momentum as they are coming forward against them.

Answer 6

I know this one and very rarely practise it - a washing line hanging looser than normal, duck and move under it moving forward at 45 degree angles. Suppose you could also move backwards but not tried that one myself. Hope that helps

Answer 7

Turn clockwise on your front foot and move your back foot back. Move your head while doing it. Preferably down. Better to slip on the top of your head than on the jaw.

Answer 8

you need to work on shadow boxing as well as side steps and other footwork exersises... work katas and you should be good also you can use a punching bag

Answer 9

Your Kata already does this... oh, maybe you don't have or practice kata...

you're on your own, kid. No one here can explain that to you. Only your art, if you do study, can teach you.

Answer 10

it is footwork and body movement.

learn dancing, jumping rope may help
