Evasive manoeuvres: avoid sideways hooks

Partner work

One participant throws a "slap" (a sideways punch) at their partner's forehead. The partner dodges by ducking and moving slightly sideways towards the punching arm (the nose draws a circle in the air). When avoiding, both fists must be held at the temple and the boxer must maintain eye contact with the opponent throughout the exercise. Perform the exercise on both sides and switch roles after a while.
