Slip Rope U-Motion
Why This Matters for Boxing
Continuous bobbing under a rope in a U-shaped pattern. Unlike straight slips, the U-motion dips under and comes up on the other side — the classic Tyson bob-and-weave that makes you nearly impossible to hit.
How To Do It
- 1Tie a rope at chin height.
- 2Stand to one side of the rope.
- 3Dip under by bending your knees and moving in a U-shape.
- 4Come up on the other side.
- 5Immediately go back under in the opposite direction.

Pro Tips
- The motion is U-shaped, not V-shaped — smooth, not jerky.
- Come up with a hook or uppercut for boxing specificity.
- Keep your eyes looking forward, not down.
