Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts defensive technique, The Slip.

Training Suggestions:

Keep in mind that the slip technique is essentially just a well-timed straight punch being used as a counter punch. The only difference is, you're adjusting your head just a bit to the left or right, depending on which direction you're slipping to, inside or out. Once again, keep in mind your center. Try not to lean too much in one direction or the other, otherwise it will rob you of the power you're trying to generate onto your target. I find that counter punching to the face is sometimes ineffectual, and depending on the height of your target, sometimes almost impossible. As an alternative target, I recommend the nerve cluster right under the armpit, or the groin. And of course, the solar plexus or the liver is always just fine. If your object is just to disable, I favor hitting the I.T. band or the outside of the thigh, creating a charlie-horse. This usually disengages the thigh for two-three minutes, so you can run away very fast. Just to reiterate, this technique is not about dodging, it's more about your opportunity to hit. I highly recommend practicing this in front of a mirror aiming at your own head, or wherever you're aiming for on an opponent, as a training technique. Alternatively, setting up a clothesline or horizontal pole at shoulder height, to simulate your opponent's arm, is something you can also practice on. If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to post a comment.

Have an excellent training,
