Boxing 101: Head Movement

Stop getting hit: master head movement that actually works in sparring and competition.

Boxing 101: Head Movement is the complete practical guide for beginner and intermediate boxers who already know basic guard and blocking but struggle with reactions, positioning, and counter opportunities. Written by Alberto Robles, this book breaks down slips, rolls, pulls, ducks, and angles-then shows you exactly how to chain them into offense without sacrificing balance.

Inside, you'll learn:

• Slip with purpose-mechanics, timing, and common mistakes that leave you open.
• Roll, pull, and duck under punches while staying in position to counter.
• Integrate head movement with footwork and angles to control range and create openings.
• Chain defenses into immediate counters that turn defense into attack.
• Adapt to southpaws and unpredictable opponents with slip line tactics.
• Train solo and with partners using progressive drills, mirror work, bag drills, and shadowboxing.
• Follow a six-week training plan to turn isolated movements into instinctive reactions.

Build head movement you can actually use under pressure.
